18th March. A Subscriber.

The Brig Mary, Capt. Burnie, arrived here on Monday from Barbados, where she touched on her Passage from New York. The account she brings from America, is, that, Mr. Rose was on the ever of departure for England, and that affairs remained in the same undetermined state, as will be seen by the following Extract of a Letter received in Barbados:-
"We still continue (says a letter of the 5th) in a
"state of uncertainty respecting the issue of the exist-
"ing dispute between us and England, though the
"fear of coming to extremes with her seems to lessen,
"while in the same ratio the danger of being involved
"with France increases. We know not where the
"matter will end, nor indeed is even the nature of
"Mr. Rose's mission yet clearly understood. Bank-
"ruptcies daily occur; and one half of the Union is
"but little better than in a state of mutiny against
"the general Government."

The British Consul in New York gave his advice for the Mary to depart, as there was great probability of a general Embargo throughout the United States.

A. Macrae, Esq. came passenger in the Mary.

We understand that account had reached Barbados on the 6th inst. of the Capture of the Island of Marygalant, by the Crews of the Circe and two other Frigates, we have not been able to acquire the Particulars of this event. The Island is of little intrinsic value, except as an annoyance to the Enemy, by which our Cruisers can now prevent that extensive system of Privateering, so long carried on from Guadeloupe, as it is just a little to Windward of that Island.

The two French frigates, L'Italiene, and Sirenne which were lately at Martinique, are gone to the Havanah for Specie, - The General Erhouf and Jenne Adelle Privateers, with three other armed Vessels, have been freighted with Coffee and are gone to France.

Vessels Entered and Cleared since our last. [heading]

Brig Mary, A. Birnie, from New York. - Ship Joseph and Betty, R. Millon, Fayal. - Schr. Industry, J. Phillips, Berbice.

The Subscriber having entirely given over all Merchantile Business, requests those who have received Goods from his Store under the direction of Mr. Turton, (and have not yet Paid their last Year's Accounts) that they will come forward and settle their respective amounts, to enable him to Pay the demands against him, before the 20th April, as on that day the Books will be put into the Hands of Hugo Cantzlaar Esq. with positive directions to be Sued for without exception to any Person, as he intends to Quit the Colony in the month of June.
Those Gentlemen who have refused to give Notes and allow Interest are informed that those under f 600 will be Sued for on the 25th Instant, and those above that amount the delivery of the Goods will be sworn to by the Clerks who deliver'd them or their Notes for the delivery produced in Court. The Expence of Translation, Lawyers, Secretary's and Deurwaarder's Fees will be well worth saving.
