of the resenoti rising quarterly, at a tate hey I
the t sanguine expectation. Eaternally the
prospect is equally cheering, our forrri relations
'Wing all so 1401 nod secure in friendship and
amity, that nothing can possibly arise to disturb
the peace of the world. It is evident, lisitvcver, that
a very urge portion is not ready to swal-
low this doctrine, said that the cominercial world
entertain some fears that this universal peace and
susishine may possibly be overcast with clouds on
the other side of the Atlantis.. To this apprehen-
sion some may attribute the great speculations
recently made in American produce, particu-
larly in the article of tobacco. its justice, however,
we assist add, that the extensive purchases of to-
bacco may have eriLen, in great measure, from the
present pecult sr state of that branch of trade, and
the quantity of the existing supply. The quantity
lof tobacco now on hands in Europe is at least 20,000
hogsheads less than at the brgit eee ii ig of the late
i war with America, and 25,000 less than it was
twelve months ago, and by the most recent returns
• frosts America the tobacco crop is less by 10,000
hogsheads than that of last year. Besides, from
the constasitly increasing population of Asnerica.the
home consumption is constantly gaining upon the
I produce, so that at the present moment the coo-
gumption of the United States is greater than that
lof Great Britain. It is DOM nearly I0;600 hogs-
heath. The supply in London and Liverpool being
at present particularly short, a few great houses
Ihave coalesced and purchased a large portion of that
On hands. Ve have already stated that this sweet'.
!anon may have originated in the state of the to-
; bacco market ; but a huge portion or the public
may be disposed to connect it with political causes.
and the fear of a rupture with America thence aria-
ing must operate unfavourably on the Funds.

The old trade of writing for Stock-jobbing piir
poses appears to have been recently revived in Some
of the daily London Journals. We know no other
way of accousiting for statements occasionally given
in them, blazoned forth as reports in the City,
which said reports cannot be traced out of their
own offices. We hope they will have the good
sen►e to profit by this hint.

A Dutyli Mail has arrived, with Papers to the
.20th instant. The Duke of IVELLINGTON was
expected at Cumbray on the 14th. The review
of the British troops is fixed for the beginning of
September, law which his Grace wilt proceed to
Aix-la-Cliapelle.

Our Paper this day contains some accounts of the
military operations in Will. against the remaining
force of the Peishwa. Iv all parts of India hut to-
wards the Guth-east, the war was at an end, and the
armies had retired. 'the. Marquis of HASTINGS
took leave of the *evert& divisions on the 21st Fe-
bruary. The army or Sir THOMAS HISLUP was
to break up on the 31st March.

We find from the Dublin Papers, that the menu.
facture of poisonous tea has been for some time
common in Ireland. The Board of Excise has
very properly sent Officers through the country, for
the purpose of hunting out the dealers in this nefa-
rious trade. The parishes of Dublin are beginning
to aseieouble for the purpose of petitioning Parlia-
ment for the repeal of the Window Tax, a desire
now become the more reasonable from the great
improvement going on in the state of the Revenue.

The following extract of a private letter from
Mount (folk, in North America, may tend to shew
how little prospect there is at present of the United
States beco 11l il ig our rival in manufactures. It is
from a re.pectable quarter, and addressed to a
commercial house in this country :
. .

'6 Manufactories are going on ber-e, but, in my opinion,
without a prospect of being carried on to any great effect.
One i■ particular, that some years past was considerable, is
now almost annihilated; I mean the iron works; the pro.
duce of which was • good remittance, especially to Eng-
land. These works are now in ruins; and on the raise of
many of them, mills for carding and spinning have been
erected; whirls, in the time of the late war, were said to be
very productive to the owners; but since the peace, I find
many of them are advertised to be let or sold, from which
I conclude, they are become unprofitable. In reality, I an.
of opinion, that manufactories of almost every descriptittn,
Cannot A,nn•ish .111, this side of the water, so lung as the
prier of latiour continues to be from three to tour times as
snack as with you, supposing the moury of each country to
be reduced to a common siandard."—(firealay Paper.)
