BOROUGH AND SPITALFIRLDS.

Full average supplies of potatoes continue on sale at
these markets, for the most part of home growth. A few
samples of foreign, however, chiefly French, have come to
hand. Good and fine are in steady request at fully pre-
vious rates; otherwise the trade is dull at abcut stationary
prices.

The demand for all kinds of English wool is in a very

being disinclined to make any concessions. In colonial and
foreign wool so little business has been transacted that the
currencies must be considered nest to nominal. There were
no arrivals of importance last week either from Australia
or the Cape.

SEEDS.
The seed trade io very inactive yet, compared with our

last report, very little change has taken place in prices.
Cakes moved off steadily at full currencies.

TILE RIGHT =`s OF NEUTRALS,

OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

The following correspondence has been published
Qt Washington .
" Legation of the United States,
London, Aug. 23, 1861.

" Sir,—l have the honour to transmit a copy of a
tote addressed to me by Lord Russell, transmitting
to me a copy of a declaration which he proposes to
make upon signing the convention embodying the
articles of the Declaration of Paris, in conjunction
with myself.

" I have waited to communicate with Mr. Day-
ton until I now learn from him that M. Thouvenel
proposes to him a similar movement on the part of
France.

" This proceeding is of so grave and novel a cha-
racter as, in my opinion; to render further action
unadvisable until I obtain further instructions ; and
I find Mr. Dayton is of the same opinion on his
side. I propose to address a letter to his Lordship,
stating my reasons for declining to proceed, as soon
as possible ; but I fear I shall not have time to get
it ready and a copy made in season for the present
mail. I shall, therefore, postpone any further elu-
cidation of my views until the next opportunity. I
do so the more readily that I am informed by Mr.
Dayton that you have ceased to consider the matter
as one of any urgent importance.—l have the honour
to be, Sir, your obedient servant,
" CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.
" Hon. W. H. Seward, Secretary of State, Wash-
angton."

(Enclosure.)
" LORD JOHN RUSSELL TO MR. ADAMS.

" Foreign-office, Aug. 19, 1851.
Sir,—l have the honour to enclose a copy of a
declaration which I propose to make on signing the
convention of which you gave me a draught, embody.
ing the articles of the Declaration of Paris.

" I propose to make the declaration in question in
a written form, and to furnish you with a copy of
it.

" You will observe that it is intended to prevent
any misconception as to the nature of the engage-
ment to be taken by her Majesty.

" If you have no objection to name a day in the
course of this week for the signature of the conven-
tion, Mr. Dayton can, on that day, and at the same
time, sign with M. Thonvenel a convention iden-
tical with that which you propose to sign with me.
" I have the honour to be, with the highest con-
sideration, sir, your most obedient, bumble servant,
" C. F. Adams, Esq., &c. "RUSSELL."
