names hitherto unknown here, and offered here under
prime cost. With respect to the competition of 'foreign
merchants, we dO not *ell see bow they can sell equally
good articles at lower prices than our own merchants, is the
latter can doubtless ,make their purchases on the spot; on as
good terms as the others ;. and with respect to the adver-
tisements we have mentioned, it ii evident that their
chief object is to tempt buyers, though it cannot be
denied that considerable injtuy may result to the mer-
chant who proceeds on the old system, as too many
buyers are tempted by low. prices, without sufficiently
attending to the quality of the article. However this
,conjuncture for taking a fair advantage, of which nobody
can be blunted, will pass over, as it is impossible, in the na-
ture of things, that -every article can long be sold at a
price less that the'expence of producing it ; and a concur-
rence of circumstances like the present, in which the dis-
tressed situation of the manufacturers in England has pro-
duced these anomalies, must be transitory, and cease with
the cause; setting aside the unfavourable circumstances for
the merchants, as fat: as the articles in question are con-
cerned there is every reason to expect a satisfactory result
of this autumn fair with regard to all such goods, as being
ready manufactured, are objects of immediate consumption,
because the rich harvest of this year, and the almost certain
result of the vintage are a sufficient encouragement for the
purchasers for the little market towns and the country, to
provide themselves with a stock to meet the probable de-
mand. In fact, the prospects of the vintage are so far
certain, that if, for the intervening five or six weeks, the
weather should not be quite so favourable as it has hither-
to been, the wine may suffer a little in quality, but in
quantity will exceed at all events the amount produced
for many years. Among the articles, of which large quan-
tities have arrived for the fair, Merinos may be mentioned,
for which there is indeed always a great demand at the au-
tumn fair, with a view to the approaching winter. Saxon
manufactures of plain and printed calicoes,and other articles,
are already here, but the Swiss have not yet come out,
they are generally the last. Considerable supplies of fine,
middling, and ordinary wool are on the spot, but we have
not yet sufficient data to form a very decided opinion re-
specting that article. .
TRIESM AUG. 13.
We are still without news direct from the Mores.

We !intent to learn that private letters from St.
Petersburgh, of the 16th ultimo, mention that the
EMPRESS of Russia, wife of NICHOLAS, is seriously
indisposed.
The nature of her Imperial MAJESTY'S indisposi-
tion is not mentioned ; but some fears are even
expressed for her life.

The Greenock Advertiser, in adverting to the
Russian squadron now cruizing in the North
Sea, gravely hints that the KING of Spain
has borrowed the ships for the purpose of
bending them to Cuba, in order to recover his
naval ascendancy in that quarter. The Advertiser
forgets that the declaration of Mr. CANNING,
respecting the interference of foreign nations in South
American affairs is a sufficient answer to the probabi-
lity of such an event ; and as for the idea of Ft:um-
-NAND borrowing a fleet from Russia, we can lend it
no credit. That the precious FERDINAND would
borrow, no one can doubt, but IsheffoLAs is too far
north to lend him any thing but ice-bergs, and these
EItDINAND, by a stretch of faith, might convert into
aiain''Onds, which would absolve him from his dif-
ficulties.

The intention of Government to open the Ports for
the admission of some descriptions of Foreign Grain,
does not appear to have been generally knoWn in the
City yesterday : but, as a rumour of the kind was in
circulation, its probable effect on the Money Market,
and on Commerce generally, was very warmly dis-
cussed. The best informed persons entertained dif.
latent opinions on this point ; some argued that a very
serious fall in the Exchanges would immediately hike

Place, because the first effect of the importation of
Corn would be the withdrawal of a large quantity
of the gold Snow iu Lotidon, the countries from
which the Corn would be brought, being more

11l Want of money than any other commodity.
Others entertained an opinion that the immediate
demand for our manufactures, which would ensue

from this measure,. would counteract such effects,
and that no alteration in the exchanges
because, would take
place
; cause, if the gold did in the first instance
leave the country, it would almost immediately retugh
for the 4.
Payment of articles which would be bought at
once, or ordered in anticipation of a wider extension
of the Conn
Importation Regulatidfis.
We ourselves entertain no doubt that the first opi-
nion will prove the most correct, viz., that an imme-
diate fall in the Exchanges will take place ; but as the
Exchanges are at present considerably above par, it
does not follow that, upon the present measure, they
should fall to an extent sufficient to make the exporta-
tion of gold, a et
,oi e traffic. If they do not,
the good derived to c •
ommerce generally will be
incalculable ; and even if
the Exchanges should
for a time materially decline, stillthe •
nuaniate effect
will be, to .take off our hands an immense quan-
tity of articles of our own produce, which,
)y de-
grees,. will balance the Exchanges again. Of course if
the Exchanges fall, the Funds must also decline, but we
do not think that any national evil would result from' the
value of the Stocks being brought to hear a more just
•proportion to the relative value of all other Oroperty
in the country, than they do at present.
Of the total amount of the value of corn and pulse,
which will be imported under the present regulation,
we can form no accurate opinion. Some persons es-
titnate it at 4,000,000/. The speculations which will
be set on foot in consequence will undoubtedly be
veDr large, as the persons engaged in the Corn Trade
will See,• in the present relaxation, the commence-
ment Of 'a much more extensive modification of the
'restrictive regulations now in force.
