Supplying the Enemy HALIFAX JUNE 13, 1813. Thirteen hundred barrels of flour arrived this day from the United States, & large quantities are coming in daily. Here has been sent from this port to Quebec last fall and this spring, upwards of twenty thousand barrels: and now they are sending all they can to Quebec and other places in Canada, besides pork, beef, peas, bears and in fact every kind of produce raised in the U.States. - Some of the highest of the officers have been heard to say, that is they American government had prevented their obtaining supplies from their friends in Boston and other places, the British provinces long before this time would have been in a state of starvation and that they would have been compelled to surrender at discretion, or sue for peace.
