vices from Madeira, received by Rev. Mr..

were unable TO purchase al any price,
The Mercury gives the following extract:
ave have had no potatoes for two years,
on account Of The potato rot. For Gods
sake send US some Indian corr, or we must
all perish. A little rice will be thankfully
received. Oh, that we might have a por.
ton of that which the highly favored Amer.
leans throw to their animals, to keep us
from the grave"
