The town is now *11 bustle. It has been inrreas*

crowd in the rourseof the day. The people in the
line through which the proressiou is to pass, are

About one o’clock, a party of about 500, from So
ho, with blue cockades and colours flying, proceeded
down Catharine street and the strand, for the city.
They man lied two and two, and invited every pas
senger whom they met to join them. At Catha
rine street they were met by the 12th light dra
goons, on their way to Hyde Park Corner. The
music of the former was playing St. Patrick’s Rajp
The band of the dragoou3 immediately struck up
“ God Save the fling.” The 14th light dragoons

PMractof a Utter from Liverpool, to a merchant in
tkit /own, dated June 4.
11 The present is to mention that a bill is now be
fore parliament for increasing the duties on foreign
timber. We annex an extract of a letter from our
agent on the subject, and we are of opinion, it will
be lound accurate** to the intentions of govern
ment.
“ I understand, it is intended, that the duty on
deals, deal ends, deul battens, boards and oak
planks, is not to take place until the 31st Decem
ber, 1311 ; but on balks, batten ends, flap boards,
oak boards, paling boards, pipe boards, wainscot
bourds, fire wood, fir quarter, handspikes, lath
wood, masts, yuids, bowsprits, oars, spars, slaves,
lir timber, oak timber, ufers and wainscot logs, 1
understand the duty is to commence on the 30th
September next.
“ The duty, however, is not to attach on dealt
above seven inches wide and eight feet lung, not
exceeding 1 14 inch in thickness ; ucronyfr, being
8 inches square, not exreeding ten inches, being
the growth uf Norway; nor on wood, the produce
of Africa.
“ The act to continue until six months after a
tnaly of peace, and to be exactly twice the amount
ot the present duty." « .
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Liverpool, to
atreicanlih frtnin the same city, dated June •).
“ I« reply to your note, left late last night at my
house, the information I have concerning the dou
ble duty on limber, I had yesterday from Mr. Blat k
Luttie, M. I*, as follows :
That the duty on oak timber, of all sorts, is to
take place on the 1st of January next; and on tir,
and all other sorts, in January after, (say 1812.) —
On which Mr. Blackhurne justly remarks, that
the next session will give us sufficient lime to coun
teract both.
“ It appears to me, that government have gone
too f«r to withdraw the hill in tolo. That on re
ceiving the several memorials, the ministers found
they were wrong in the measure partially represent
ed to them, by interested speculators, and that by
putting the dates at the above distances, they have
rendered the bill harmless without withdrawing it.”
We have seen a Liverpool Price Current to June
5, hut the renewal of intercourse would reduce the
priees gp-ally. There is no way of estimating the
extent of the reduction, unless the amount of expot -
tatinn Irom all the ports in America, were known,
and the vents the British have on the continent,
boston pots were ()3s. to 6-ts. pearls 58 to 60s. up

LATEST FROM PORTUGAL.
The brig Corporal Trim, captain Elwell, arriv
ed yesterd.y at Gloucester, from Lisbon.—She
sailed the 27 th June. No new events has occur
red ; but a general engagement between the allied
English and Portuguese, and Flench armies, was
Still daily expected. She arrived just as the mail
was starting, and no papers have been received in
town. The English and Portuguese troops oeaupy
stations extending from the Douro to the Tagus.
The whole line is under Lord Wellington, who also
commands the cenlie; in which the main tody
of the English troops are posted. The right is
commanded by general Hill, whose flank extends
to the Tagus, and who communicates with the Spa
nish force, tinder the Marquis Romans, at Bada
j»z. Marshal Btresford commands on the left,
and is flanked by the Douro, and has under him the
main force of the Portuguese Hoops. A French
account slated, that Marshal Ney had tr.keirCui
dad Rodrigo.— Butin a Lisbon paper of the 12lh
of June, we find a cup^ of a despatch from the
Spanish com mander of that garrison, to the Mar
quis Romans, under date of the first of June, which
says :
“ According to all the advices which have been
grven me, it appears, that the enemy is preparing
to rarry on a formal siege of this place, which
they are surrounding ; for Marshal Ney has been
before the city since, the day before yesterday ; and
on the 28lh all the troops from Salamanca, and ad
joining places, marched with thirty pieces of heavy
artillery for this place. In fact, we observe move
ments in their camp which indicate unusual dispo
sitions ; and they are marking a line of circumval
lutinn from one side of the river to the other. The
only passages • which remains open to ns is over the
bridge to the fields of Arganhan and Robledo. 1
have made the necessary arrangements to prepare
this pln« for a siege, and freeing it of all useless
mouths and cowards who might be detrimental.—I
trust every thing will go well; and that we shall
defend ourselves with the vigour becoming so just a
cause, and the honour and patriotism by which we
are animated.”

Received at Nos York and Boston from England.
London, June 4.
OF IRELAND.
We have frequently had occasion to notice the
popularity of the duke of Rirbnxmd's administrati
on of Ireland. • With so lenient a hand has he held
the reigns of government; so active has be l*en
in doing every thing to improve the condition of
tbeptnple, to soften animosities and to. Soothe dis
contents; so even has he held the scales of justice,
and so happily (up he tempered justice with qjer<y,
Mat it is now proposed to repeal some of ti>otlTaws
which it was deeifkrd necessary to pass a few years
ago. The repeal of two of them was moved yester
day by Mr. Wellesley' Pole.. One of these is the
Irish insurrection act : this is to be repealed, with
rhe exception of the rl.tose relative to tba adminis
tering nod taking 'unlawful oaths—which is to
lortu the subject of a new bill. The second art is
the arms act; this is U* be repealed, and » new act
introduced. “ No oin (said Sir.
doubt that so much % tb* old act sbouldsiiU be
ih force in Ireland, as relate* to. tlie registering of
arm*, pod the power of searching for them bythm
magistrates. But, at the tiaie of passing the old
bill,, there were strong objections urged to the pow
ers then granted to the magistrates, of searching
houses in the night, and of delegating this power
toother persons. , He conceived these powers at
present unnecessary ; and proposed,^that in the new
||||, the magistrates, on suspicion’of arms being
unlawfully secreted in any house, should bembligyi
to rommunirate the grounds of their suspicion to
the Car tie, and that it should be placed entirely at
the discretion of Lite lord lieutenant, whether the
search should be made or not. There was another,
part of the former act, which was justly reckons
extremely severe; namely, that when a man bro't
an action against* any mufisirate for whut he bad
done, even though the plaintiff should have a ver
dict, yet the judge was empowered to say, ther*
was ground <jf suspicion with regard to the conceal
ment of arms, and direct only fid. damages. He
now proposed to remove the seventy of the clause
by putting both plaintiff anddefendant on a fooling
of equality.” ®
PRUSSIAN LOAN IN HOLLAND.
To His Excellency Baron Von Knobelsdorf,* Minis
ter Plenipotentiary of Prussia in Holland. ’
“ M. Le Baron.—The reports which some 'per
sons have thought proper to cir. ulate'ln Ilotlaod,
respecting the future destiny of Prussia, have com*
to the knowledge of the emperor ; and 1 hay> not
omitted to inform my illustiiuus sovereign, that the
Dutrh capitalists have been prevented Irom taking
a ptrtiu the loan for the use of his majesty th*
King of Prussia, from an idea that these bad some
foundation, and an apprehension that they be par
tially or totally verified by the event. I now have
it in charge to contradict these reports in the most
positive manner, and to assure you that hts Im
perial and Royal Majesty' takes the most sincere in
terest in the preservation and re-rstablishnient of
Prussia; and further, that the sequel will confirm
the irrefragable proofs of this sentiment, which my
illustrious sovereign has constantly fell a satisfac
tion in afford’ng.
“ You will thos, M. Le Baron, be enabled to
calm the apprehensions of the houses charged with
the loan for Piussia, and to tell them, that they may
rely upon the relations of amity which subsist be
tween thefrourts of Paris and Berlin, and that the
maintenance of the integrity of the Prussian mo
natchy cunuot, in the smallest degree, be a subject
of doubti
“ ,l '* my wish, M. Le Baron, that the insur
ance which I hereby have the honour to give you,
may remove all uneasiness, and conduce to bring
to a close the financial operation, which His Impe
rial and Royal Majesty is desirous of seeing com
pleted to the utmost satisfaction of his Majesty the
King of Prussia.
“ I leg, M. Le Baron, that you will accept the
high assurance of my very particular consideration.

their trade in any additional respect. The G..|ten

for convoy. They say, that do disturbances bad a*
risen in consequenre of the death of Prince Aogos

meeting of the Diet to nominate th« new heir, ip
tbe Swedish crown. Oue of our letters obseevea, •*
that apprehensions were felt that the governraenliri
Stockholm would issue a prohibitory decree lo the
injury of commerce, but it was hopad that tb* un
popularity of such a measure would disappoint the
intentions of the French party in that capful.
The net produce of the stump d'tities on newspa
