PORTSMOUTH, Feb. 18.

Letters from Halifax advise, that the Governor of Nova-Scotia has issued a Proclamation, forbidding the importation, into that province, of every article of the growth and manufacture of the United American States, EVEN IN BRITISH Vessels (excepting flour and wheat.) Can we hesitate a moment what to do with such self-sufficient, proud, and infatuated beings? Let an act of BANISHMENT be passed against the daring wretch, who should presume to carry supplies to them, until want, remorse, shame and contrition, reduce them to reason!
