TUESbAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1822.

We have the satisfaction to inform our readers that our
Government has at !earth resolved to terminate all the
commercial difficulties which bare for some time subsisted
between this country and the United States of North Ame-
rica. Instructions have actually, as we understand, been
sent to the I West India Islands that the poets should
be opened immediately to the direct trade of the United
States upon the principles of reciprocity proposed by the
America,' Government. By this arrangement the United
fltates are p;rmitted to send their lumber and provisions is
Americas bottoms direct to our Colonies, and are nether*
riseil to take io exchange colonial produce. This Image-
mitt will, it is hoped, be productive of very extensive ad-
vantages to our colonists. The same trade may have bees,
sad, in fact, bas for some time been carried on between the
United States and the British Colonies through the medltila
of /termed', which was erected into, free port for the emulate
purposes of this commerce; but it was so very circuits*,
loud attended with so mach expense, that seitber party meshil
derive such service from it as from its nature might haw!
been fairly anticipated. We regret to say that lb* extreme
dirlress of our West Isaias Colonies requires every effort
that can be made fur their relief. To compare their coma.'
time with that eves of oar distressed agriculturists, would
lint Inadequately express their sufferings, and the arrsage.'.
~at to which we bete now referred boa been anxiously
sought by them as the only mesas likely to relieve them
from a destruction which seemed otherwise inevitable.

The work of supply commenced last night in the Mouse
of Common*, but so grants were proposed that deserved
sery particular atteetios. The sum of one enilliou was grant-
ed for the purpose of paying off Irish Treasury bills to this
osinust. This act deserves to be noticed solely as it chews
a disposition in the Ministers to grasp at the weans of effect.
tog some savings. This money bad been borrowed from the
Bank of Ireland at four per cent. and it is sow introded to
borrow as equal sum is this coststry at three pa cost. by
which a saving of oat per coot. in the minims will be
effected.

The Marquis of Lonnow 0 CARY, in porsesieee of hie pre.
view notice, moved last night for the rescind of the Acri.
cultural Clemattlee. The theeessioo which arose esisewhet

unexpectedly upon this motion, pmeented malty poiats or
deep interest, but it most be admitted that the several
•perches Aid not ufer any very novel views of the state of
the agritatioral distress, or ventrally of the condition of the
country at large. The vulgar cry against Mr. Palm's Bill,
and the return to ■ cash currency, lads advocates, we
perceive, in the House of Commons, and even there mom
are found who fearlessly attribute so iocosaiderable
share of t►e existing distress to the overthrow of the
paper system. The return to the metallic turrtney must
to every intetlieent mind appear as a positive and absolute
good, and if it has not brought with it the complete re.esta•
blishrornt of a system previously disirrganieed, ant to it be
attributed the present distresses, bat to those who in cor-
recting one evil °nutted to remove the mane others which
bed luxuriated ender its branches. The motion woe carried
without a division.
