EARL OF LIVERPOOL.

We are happy to state that the sleep which the
Noble Earl enjoyed last night was extremely sound.
His Lordship is now perfectly able to understand
whatever is addressed to him. At half-past twelve
o'clock this day his Lordship's Medical attendants
issued the following Bulletin :

" Fife House, Feb. 21, 1827.
" Lord Liverpool has passed a good night, and is rather better
to-day."

To our inquiries at half-past two this afternoon the an-
swer was, that his Lordship was a- little better.

We have received the French Papers of Sunday, and
the Etoile, dated Monday morning. They are almost en-
tirely filled with the proceedings in the Chamber of De-
puties, on Saturday, when the general discussion on the
Law of the Press was closed in that Chamber. It now
remains to examine the separate articles of the Project,
and to dispose of the amendments proposed. It is scarcely
possible that the law should be carried, without some very
material alterations, against the powerful arguments of the
Opposition.
The Etoile contains intelligence from Constantinople

Efoile also mentions that 'hostilities still continue
in Tras-os-Montes, and that the Insurgents, notwithstand-
ing they received a check on the 29th near Celanova, on
the frontiers of Gallicia, are again masters of Chaves.
The Quotidicnnc asserts, that all the letters from Ma-
drid confirm the accounts of the successes of the Royalists,
and that confusion reigned in Lisbon. We have no space

" BALTIMORE, JAN. I I , 1827.—1 hasten to inform you, that
it has been decided, by the Committees on Commerce in the Se-
nate and House of Representatives of Congress, to permit the
trade between the colonies and this country to be carried on, for
six months, in British vessels, after the passage of the proposed
law interdicting all intercourse, in case Great Britain shall not
assent to meet us on terms of perfect reciprocity, to be defined in
the bill which will be reported in a few days.
" It is considered just, that she should have the same notice of
the interdiction which she intended to us. It may therefore be
important for you to know, that, for six months at least, Britiih
vessels will be permitted" to enter and depart from our ports with

"WAIaIiNGTOI4, JAN. 10.—The committee on manufactures
reported a bill this morning, but it is not probable that the House
will venture to tamper with our tariff in the face of a declining

revenue.
" It is understood that our intercourse with the British Colo-
nies will not be interdicted before the 30th September, and that
measures will be proposed by Legislation, which may, in the
mean time, be accepted by Great Britain, in which case the in-
terdiction will not take effect. It is presumed that the committee
will report M a few days. If those who preferred diplomacy had
any belligerent notions on this question, they have been surrender-
ed to the more sober suggestions of policy and judgment"-

HOUSE" OF RTVRESENTATIVEIS.'

Wool-LEN MANUF;ICTUIREs.

...;~.;

Mr. Mallary, from the committee on manufactures, to which
had been referred petitions from various parts of the United
States, upon the subject of woollen-manufactures, reported the
following bill, " a Bill for the alteration of the Acts imposing
duties on imports.
" Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives of the United States of America, in Congress assem-
bled, that from and after the first day of August, 1827, in lieu
of the duties now imposed by law on the manufactured ariicles
hereafter mentioned, imported into the United States, there shall
be charged and paid the duties chargeable thereon, in tle follow-
ing manner:—

All manufactures of wool, or of ‘,.-hich wool is a em-
ponent part, except worsted stuff goods and !defiles, whos.. '
act,!al value at the place whence '-nported shall not exceed 40
cents per square yard, shall be deemed and taken to have cost
40 cents the square yard, and be charged with the present duty
accordingly.
" 2d. All manufactures of wool, Or of which wool shall lie a
component part, except worsted stuff goods and blankets, whose
actual value at the place whence imported shall exceed 40 cents
the square yard, and shall not exceed two dollars and 50 cents
the square yard, shall be taken and deemed to have cost three
dollars the square yard, and charged with the present duty ac-
cordingly.
" 3d. All manufactures of wool, or of which wool is a com-
ponent part, worsted stuff goods and blankets excepted, whose
actual value at the place whence imported shall not exceed two
dollars and fifty cents the square yard, and shall not exceed four
dollars the square yard, shall he taken and deemed to have cost
four dollars the square yard, and charged with the present duty
accordingly.
" Sect. 2. And he it further enacted, that all unmanufactured
wool, now charged with a duty of thirty per cent. ad valorem,
shall, from and after the Ist day of June, 1828, be charged
with a duty of 35 per cent. ad valorem, and, from and after the
Ist day of June, 1829, be charged with a duty of 40 per cent. ad
valorem. And all wool unmanufactured, whose actual value at the
place where imported shall exceed ten per cent. per pound, and
not exceed 40 cents per lb., shall be deemed and taken to have
cost 40 cents per lb., and be charged with the duty as in this sec-
tion is before provided.
" Sect. 3. And he it further enacted, that all imported wool,
on the skin, shall be chargeable with a duty of 30 per cent. ad
valorem, including the value of the skin, until the Ist day of Au-
gust, 1827, when a duty of 35 per cent. ad valorem shall be
charged and paid until the Ist day of August, 1828 ; after which
there shall be chargwi and paid on the same a duty of 40 per cent.
ad valorem."

The bill was twice read, and committed to the committee of
the whole on the state of the Union.

Our Readers will perceive with much satisfaction, by
our Parliamentary Report, that the health of Mr. CANNING
is so much improved as to lead to the expectation that he
will be able to attend in his place in the House of Com-
mons on Monday night, and bring on the important mea-
sures proposed by the Government in respect to the Corn
Laws. Mr. PEEL, in answer to an enquiry made by Sir
Tnomas LETtinainca, stated that nothing but an abso-
lute impossibility to attend, would prevent the Right Hon.
Gentleman from submitting to the House on that night
the propositions which his MAJESTY'S Ministers had deter-
mined to make on this most important question. We rejoice
at this determination,. because the public mind :is more
agitated with conflicting opinions on the subject of the
Corn Laws than with any other which has occupied the
attention of Parliament for some years, and it is desirable
that this state of suspense should be speedily removed by
a knowledge of what the proposed measures are to be.

By papers received at the North and South American
Coffee House, from Rio Janeiro, it appears that the .Em-
Peror Dos PEDRO is resolved upon prosecuting the war
against the Buenos Ayreans with renewed spirit, and has,
for that purpose,embark ed personally in the war,as westated
some time ago: This decision. however brave; we hardly
think politic in his Imperial Majesty, whose presence can
hardly counterbalance the danger likely to affect his
dynasty, in case of any disastrous termination of the con
test. Indeed the whole course of the wa has been very
hostile to the interests of Brazil, and though Buenos Ayres
has been partially blockaded and its commace injured, still
the Estmiox has had, as yet, nothing to boast of. It
appears somewhat impolitic for him to risk so much by
persisting in a war of such doubtful character. Brazil is
surely extensive enough for the most enlarged ambition,
Without seeking to fix the outposts of his Empire at such a
distance from home. No doubt his occupation of Monte
Video would be a constant source of annoyance .to the
Buenos Ayreans, but then lie ought to consider that a pos!,
session held under such circumstances can nererbe secure.
The internal.improvement of Brazil—and the moral Cul-
tivation of his people arc objects far more worthy of a
liberal Monarch—while his dignity and power would 13-a
advanced in proportion to their increased loyalty and hap-
piness. Th following are extracts :

RIO Jamtlao, DEC. 1, 1826.
The Brazilian squadron, consisting of the Don Pedro, 74, the
Nero frigate, end a sloop of war, together with several transports
and two thousand troops, sailed . from Rio Grande, with the
Emperor on board, who was determined to carry his point in the
south. An embargo was laid in Rio, on the 16th of November,
in consequence of the preparations for this expedition, and was not
removed until the 27th, three days after it had sailed.
The United States squadron, consisting of the frigate Mace-
donia, Conamc'Aore Biddle; corvette, Cyane, Captain Elliott,
and sloop of war, Boston, Captain Hoffman, were at Rio on
the above date. The brig Ruth, which had been taken at sea by
one of the Brazilian cruisers, under the pretence that shy was
bound to. Buenos Ayres, was given up 27th Nov.—The troops
of the Emperor, and those of the Buenos Ayreans, had concen-
trated their forces at Rio Grande, and it was expected would
soon cominence hostilities. The river La Plata was thickly block-
aded by about 60 sail, so that it was impossible for any vessel to
get in. Provisions of every description are very high and scarce.
Flour 60 dr. per barrel, in paper money. Prices at Rio, Flour
9m. r. on shore, (about 5000 barrels unsold). Soap 14 m. r.,
Pork 16, Beef 12.—The Buenos Ayrean army is stated to
consist of about 12,000, including must of the foreigners,
(about 500), who bad joined them against the Brazilians.--The
Brazilian sloop of war Gentle Americana, of 20 guns, was lost in
a gale on the 29th of September ; eleven other vessels were driven
on shore.
Markets at Monte Video.—Flour 9 ds. on board, Pork 10,
Beef 14, Soap 16, Hams Sli cents per pound ; no demand for'
domestic goods ; spirituous liquors of every description dull.
Produce of the country scarce and high. Coffee 2m. 700 a
3m. per dr. Hides 170 a ISO rs. per pound ; no Sugar in the
market. The crops are not in yet owing to the heavy ra'ns
which had deluged the country for several weeks with little in-
termission.

By the schooner Laurel, Ken, from St. Thomas's, at Norfolk,
we learn that the produce of the United States was allowed t 3 hr
reshipped in English vessels from St. Thomas's for any Britlsh
Island.

Markets.--. Flour 8.50 drs. a 9 ; no Rice in market.
The following is the copy of a letter received this morning fro al
New York, dated 16th Jan. 1827 :
There are a great many speculations afloat with regard to the
course of proceeding which our Government will take in the
question of Cuba : the importance of this island will be eons&
derably diminished, if the Administration should resolve upon
