PHILADELPHIA, July 12.
YESTERDAY noon arrived here an express from the merchants committee at New York to that of this city, acquainting them that they had broke through their non importation agreement, and had sent home orders for goods. When the matter was known among the people here, the mildest epithet that could be given them was that the New Yorkers were traitors to their country, themselves, and ages yet unborn; who, no doubt, when groaning under a British yoke, will for ever curse the traitors.
