Yesterday, through the medium of a letter from

Governor of the Russia Company, information was
given, that the Lords Commissioners of the Council
of Trade, taking into con.idcration the present stare
of the Baltic, and the difficulties to which the-trade
may be exposed frctn a change in the political cir,
cumstances, have come to the following determina.
tion :--To grant licenses to any ships in the Russian
pot ts, not being French, and above the burthen of too
tons, and laden with hemp, flax, tallow, linseed or
grain, to proceed either to Matwyck or Hano Bay.
The name of the ship is to be indorsed on the li-
cense, with the proper de-cription before her
clearance from the 'Russian port. At Matwyck
or Hallo' Bay, the cargoes of the ships so
licensed may be 'transhipped on briar(' British
vessels, to proceed from thence to a Briti-h port.
It is to be distioaly understood, that on no plea of
there not being British vessels at Matwyck or Hmo
Bay, will the foreign vessels so licensed. be sclfered
to receive further licenses to proceed from these
places on the voyage•to Great Britain.

to the ground, and that most of the property it
contained,was destroyed. This event is not -impated
to any mischievous design ; but is said to have
arisen from some.experirneut to give warmth to
the mansion.
