A- circumstance took place at the Cae, about the beginning of Decem ber, which excited much uneasiness ""anTong lhf American merchants.' "The General in Chief, in want of money, levied the sum of3?,000 dollars on the merchants, and ordered the. chamber ofcommerce to assess the proportion. This chamber consists of French mer chants, who accordingly divided, the sum to be paid by themselves and the . American merchants, but so unequal ; ly, that four American houses,, vi;. lilcssrs. Dodge, D'Arcy 8; Stevenson, Hillcr and Williams, 8c Dawson, yfefe taxed 1000 dollars each, and the other merchants from 5 to 800 dolls, not one of the French paying more than from 2 to 500. Those who paidthtircontri bntion received a receipt, to be repaid in cash in one month, or to be receiv ed-for duties accruing thereafter, ffut tcere were many delinquents ; in ton equvnee of which Gen.

Extracted from' Dr. David Ramsay's Charles r ton Medical Register for 1802, just published. On the night of the 9th of October, 1802, William Withers, ahorse deal er from Kentucky, descended through a grate into one of the covered arched drains that pervade the streets of Char leston, and passed along the same, till he was opposite to the South-Carolina Bank. He then began operations to make a subterraneous passage across from the drain to the vaults, in which the cash of the Bank was deposited. In. prosecuting this business, he pass ed tiinety days and nights 'under ground, and in a prone posture. For the first twenty-two days after his de scent, it was 60 uncommonly werm, as Uvbe op. an average nearly seventy- ! nine. For the last sixty-eight days, the heat varied from seventy-four to thirty-three. In the first period, yel- I low fever, intermitting, and other fe vers of Warm seasons, we're common amontr the inhabitants. ' In the last period, pleurisies, colds and catarrhal complaints, were, in like manner, fre quent ; yet, all . this' time, Withers enjoyed good health, with exceptions of a few blight head-aches ami pains ; We remain sir, YVith respect, " Your most obedient humble - servants, - ' ' !
