may bei very seriously impeded. But as the effect of
these regulations seems likeiy:to.be injurious to the in-
terests of Holland itself, we cannot conceive that the
Goveriunent of that country will persevere in a system
of such narrow-minded and unjust polioY. We sub-
join an wide from the Allgoncine Zeitu on this
subject :

" MENTZ, MAY 24.
" Last ;lithium, when the English ports were open for the im-
portation of barley, the consequence was, that large consignments
of that grain were made from the countries on the Rhine to Eng-
l'"d ; hut the numerous restrictions which impede the navigation
of the Rhine, and delay the conveyance of goods, had the effect of
causing these consignments to arrive at their destination after the
favourable mothent'hud gone by. The proprietors in consequence
were obliged to consign their corn to English houses in London,
Liverpool, &c, and to bear the expense of warehousing, as well as
the risk attending it. This transaction afforded another proof how
injurious the restrictive system adopted by Holland is to its own
Interest; for the speculations of the Dutch as well as the German
merchants were disappointed, and instead of the profit they rea•
u'nahly expected, they buffered loss. This unfavourable result,
sided to the distrust which; since the late commercial crisis in
Erigland, hay affected the. credit of the merchants of that country,
hal had the effect, that at present no consignments are made from
Holland and the banks of the Rhine to England, and the orders
fun England will hardly be executed, unless given by houses of
"(14estionable solidity. In this manner the German and Dutch
ore-merchants will, in general, enjoy greater protection and se-
,euritY against the contingencies to which, without such precau-
thecern-trade with London is liable. Meantime the mea-
',reit adopted in England have, however, had the effect of raising
the prices of corn in the ports of the Netherlands, as well as in
Cologne, Alentz, &c."
Letters from Dantzic to the 2d instant, state, that
the price of corn is not improving, as had been re-
ported. Trade was very dull.

A Supplement to the London Gazette of Satur-
day has been published, containing Despatches from
lord COMBERMERE, to the Governor-General of
India, detailing the Operations of the Army before
13hurtpore, to the termination of the siege of that for-
tress, by its fall to our Gallant Forces. As these ac-
°MIN had before reached us through other chainels,
they are divested of the high interest which they would.
°therwise possess.

Nlr. Alderman THomrsoN triumphantly maintained
his station at the head of the Poll for the City of Lon-
don yesterday, and Mr. WA RD trod close upon the
heels of Mr. Alderman WOOD. We still • adhere to
the opinion that the City of London will not allow it-
'f to be represented by two persons of the principles

are so completely out of fashion, and their remaining

C°BllErr has been shamefully treated at Preston,
L'a it ikto be regretted that a man so universally re-

retat •
a in his writings, should be subject to the petty
l'iterference of a returning officer, or the ambitious
`;PPosition of less conspicuous aspirants to senatorial
lo4ours. Will any body believe that, notwithstand-
iall Mr. COBBBTT'S creches and Sir THOMAS
h;*L;von's money, Mr. STANLEY .dared to allow
h~a►
.to be put iu nomination ? Will it be ere-
41t.ied that Captain BA itn 1E has also been proposed,
}:„„'"that Mr. WOOD actually stands candidate ;
this is not all, some of the most opulent and re-
petable of Mr. CORBETT'S voters were basely reject-
:l merely because they had received parish pay,. as
ough " a man was'nt a man for a' that." This mfa-
-4718 combination against the interests of a man of
C°BriErr's amiable disposition cannot be too

el invidious conspirators well know, that if they ex-
ail" all the voters who have lived on parish allow-
fric' Mr. COBBETT will lose nine-tenths of his

4enceee of this very cruel interference are already ma-
hot't in the Honourable Gentleman's situation at the
