We understand, that advices, of a very unpleasant tenor, have been received from Halifax. The court of Admiralty at that place, it is said, have determined to condemn all produce of enemies colonies, and bound to enemies ports, whether it be found on board neutral Ships importing the same, or otherwise.
By this latitude of condemnation, it follows, that the whole of our foreign trade will be entirely destroyed. Admiral Berkeley, who was to succeed to the station, had not arrived. It therefore does not clearly appear whether this destructive principle is derived from recent orders or not. We are promised an abstract of the new doctrine for our next.
