Extract of a letter from a gentleman in England to his friend in this town, Dec. 3d.
"The exportation of Corn has been stopped by an arbitrary order of the Privy Council, which comprehended Ships already in loading and chartered. The soldiery are shifting their stations every month. The Dock-Yards are full of Workmen. The Government is encouraging counter associations (for perpetuating all manner of abuses, as we call them) in oppositions for parliamentary reform, which have overspread the land, and which, if they succeed in the first step, will certainly urge on the Government to Republicanism. Stocks have fallen from 96 to 75 within three weeks; in a word, an alarm that \"the state is in danger,\" has gained ground every where: and some are looking for an insurrection, and some for a French War."
