Fowle's New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

On Sunday last arrived here the Brig Adventure, Captain Peare, from Antigua. Advices received by the above brig mention, that our good friends, the British, remain inexorable in their determination of prohibiting all American vessels from trading with, or even entering their islands. Captain Clark, in the ship Joshua, who sailed from this port some time since, had arrived at Antigua, but, although owned by a person in that island, was not permitted to take a freight for Europe; and in consequence thereof was about to return to this port. Where is the spirit of America fled? How long are we to be duped by the all-sufficient Britons?--Are we under the necessity of trading with them? If not,--why do not our rulers prohibit all and every intercourse with them; and let those haughty Britons, and the world know, (by a spirited resolution) that the United States are not to be TRIFLED with.

Extract of a letter from Antigua, dated Feb. 18.

"Our ships of war are stationed at all the English islands to prevent the Americans from trading: this is loudly complained of by all orders of people, and remonstrances gone home; I hope it will soon be removed."
