Alexandria Daily Advertiser

A letter from Bermuda to a gentleman in this place, states that advices have been received from England, which says that an act of parliament had passed, making Bermuda a free port for the admission of salt provisions from the United States, from whence the colonies in the W. Indies are to be supplied. The date of the advices from England are said to be of the 10th June, we therefore must doubt the correctness of the information, as Our advices are down to the 20th July, and no mention is made of any such act; the debate in the house of Lords, published in this day's paper, is sufficient to prove that no such act had passed before that debate. because if it had, the speaker could not well help noticing it in the course of their arguments.
