This day a brig arrived here from New-York. The master's name Thomas Rawling (formerly a resident of this State) who, in the earlier part of the late war, abandoned his country in the time of her distress, and joined, aided and abetted the British forces in America. Upon Rawling's coming on shore, and notice thereof being given to the Magistrates, they sent for him, and very judiciously ordered him to depart the State by 9 o'clock the next morning, acquainting him at the same time that if his vessel was consigned to any other person not coming under his description, such freedom of trade would be granted in such case as the subjects of the King of Great Britain are entitled to.
