HARTFORD, August 17.

We are informed, by a Gentleman from Vermont, that the farmers in general, in that State, have been very fortunate in gathering in their Harvest, which has been greater this season than was ever known--Good old Wheat, he says, is now selling there at four shillings and six-pence per Bushel--We also learn, from all quarters of this country, that so great a quantity of English grain was never raised in one season, and that Indian Corn is likely to be very good. There is, likewise, a prospect of Cider's being very plenty (of consequence, we may anticipate a great deal of domestic news, next winter.)
