MORLAIX, APRIL gs.
An individual who left London the 16th inst. has
furnished us with the following details, the authenti-
city of which may be relied on :
" Commerce is in a state of stagnation difficult to
be described ; Merchants dare not make any ship-
ments for the ports of the Baltic, since France so de.
eidedly avowed her intention of excluding them from
them.
" What the French Journals have said of the im-
mense French forces marching to the Oder and the
Vistula, has even added to the fears of the specula.
tors. Press:ng never proceeded with so much acti-
vity as at the present moment. The privileges of the
city have been infringed, and people pressed in it for
nine days by special permission. Them is no exam-
ple for this innovation.
" The colliers have also been subjected to the press.
Out of 400 of these vessels 1,700 sailors have been
taken. Every where depression is at its height. In
the interior provinces the fermentation of men's minds
continues to increase. Many partizans for war have
joined those for peace.
" All the proprietors of coal mines, the persons
who work them, and the sailors who transport their
produce, are ranged on the side- of the latter party.
The dock-yards are filled with ships of war and trans-
port vessels, which are repairing—if popular reports
are to be belived, they are int..nded for America.
" The manufacturers continue to discharge their
workmen. A new cause has just augmented public
misery. The duty upon timber for constructing slat s
has been raised to such an height, that mercitantmeri
have ceased being built in England, and d cklards
have been established in the colonies; great numbers
of shipwrights and other workmen, are out of employ.
