TranscriptExtract of a letter from Boston, Aug.26.

"There have arrived at Philadelphia this summer 5000 persons from
Ireland, and as many more are expected, besides 2000 or 3000 from
England, Scotland and Germany: to that single port will probably,
by the end of the year, have received between 10,000 and 13,000
persons from Europe."
