HAARLEM, SEPTEMBER s

A letter from Stockhora of the 12th September,
says-44 It is affirmed that Lord Strangford is Dego-
ciating with our Government, respecting a new ta-
riff. This affair excites great interest Isere. It is
hoped that the import duties on our iron, planks,
and timber, in England, will be diminished, and
that the English manufactures will be allowed to be
imported here. It is nearly certain that a tariff is is
contemplation. and though some cotton manufacto-
ries are established here. yet in general we should be
glad of a tariff. It is very probable that according
to the new regulation colonial produce will not be
pesmitted to be imported into Sweden unless sousing
directly from America, or from pests of.'the &itisb
Islands.

Since the mouth pf May we have been visited by
the plague till the end of July ; the distemper was
kept secret by superior authority, but the plague be
came so violent that it carried off from two to three
hundred persons daily. The whole East part of the
country is attacked by it. At Constantine and Bona
a great many persons have been carried off, and it
is said, that in the latter city almost all the inhibi.
tants have perished.
The Algerines haw now eleven corsairs, iot4nding
one frigate. of 44 guns, five corvettes from lit° 24.
five swift sailing brigs, and a schooner. The smaller
vessels have been upon a cruise; they were ordered
to the Channel to try their, fortune, and ai they met
on their way with a Hamburgh ship and a Russian
ditto, they were takeo ; together with three Spanish
ships which 'were not provided with the necessary
passports. The Hamburgh ship, belonging to Mesas.
B. acid H. Risosen, a pretty large brig, called she
Reyberstrig, commanded by Captain Lowreezen,,
was declared a good prize as soon as she arrived.—.l
The Russian brig the Industry, Captain Schumman,
bound from Riga to Cunil, with flax and flax seed,'
is not arrived yet, which cannot be accounted for, as
1
it was taken off Cape Finisterre on the .Sd July. [lt,
was not known at Algiers that Captain Schumman
had recovered his ship by throviiog the pirates into
the sea.]—This ship will be released, as the Dey does
not chose to have a war with Russia. It was taken'
for a Prussian, in which case it would have shared
the fate of the Hamburghtr.
The surprise of the Algerines, at not seeing Cap:.
taia Schuionsan's ship miles is the greater. Incases
five of the crew came at the same time as the Haw
burghsprize, but were released the next day, at the!
interference of the Consul. The Spanish vessels taken

' The arrival, since our last, of Mails from Ham-
burgh, Holland, France, and Flanders, has brought
us a variety of foreign intelligence, which will be
foetid. atiength in our-other columns.
It will be seen by the accounts from Socirheollrl,
that a negotiation is going on betweeln‘ithis country
and' Sweden, with every prospect or toolfi&oi
issue, for a modification of the prohibitory system
which has been for some time so absurdly pursued
on both sides. We say, ea kith rids, •fee is truth
England is to the foil quite as mach to blame as
Sweden can possibly be, for the shackled state into
which the commercial intercourse between the two
countries has fallen. The trade which, until lately,
we carried on with the Baltic, was not, perhaps, ex-
ceeded in advantage by any other branch of our fo-
reign commerce. Great quantities of our cotton and
woollen goods were taken in exchange for the iron'
and wood brought from the ports of that Sea.—
In order, however, to support what is called the
shipping interest—to favour the productions of our
Canadian possessions —to encourage our own iron
works—we thought we should do wisely to allow no
more wood or iron to be brought from the Baltic ;
and so imposed such exorbitant duties on their im-
port, as might amount to an utter exclusion of them.
What was the consequence f The Northern Nations,
Sweden and Norway especially, had no other com-
modities, except timber and iron, to exchange for
our manufactures ; and as we refused to take either,
the demand for our goods in these countries rapidly
.ditnioithed, till at length the annual injue:of our
exports to Sweden came not to exceed thietr thou-
sand founds ; and is now threateneklb.be put an
end to entirely, in consequence of the Swedish
Government chusing to retaliate on us, by a very
exact imitation of our own prohibitory system.—
In compensation for the loss we have suffered here,
it is undoubtedly true, that since these restrictions on
the import of foreign iron and wood, our own iron
trade ►as prospered beyond all former example--
that our Canadian woods have become a source of
greater wealth than they were befored-and it may
be, perhaps, that on the whole, we are, as yet, ra-
ther gainers than losers by the system we have
adopted. The gain, however, we are persuaded can
be but temporary which is obtained at the expense of
shutting out a whole notice from the sphere of our
commerce, and deadening their industry in the sup-
ply of the only articles their sterile country affords
them to be industrious upon. Never was truth more
certaio, than that the prosperity—the larting prospe-
rity of Britain—will ever be best promoted and sus.
tained by the prosperity of all other nations; and
that to stimulate other nations to that prosperity, by
encouraging their respective powers of production by
every means in our power, will always be Britain's
wisest policy. Such industrious thriving in all na.
doss, as Mr. RICARDO observes, is most admirably
connected with the '.universal good of the whole.
—By stimulating industry, by rewarding inge-
nuity, and by using most efficaciously the peculiar
powers bestowed by Nature, it distributes labour
most effectively, and most economically : while, by
increasing the general mass of productions, it dif-
fuse. -.general benefit, and binds together, by one
enattlidti tie of interest and intercourse, p4,04,,ai
sodikitpfioations throughout the civilAted prorld. It
is
.thtsfrusciple which determines that ,Wipe..should
be made in France and Portugal, that ctiftridisill be
grown in America and Poland, and that hardware
and other goods shall be manufactured in England."

A. further serifs of German. Papers has reached
us to-day, from which we subjoin the following ex-
tracts. A report, it will be observed, prevails, that
,the thy of Hamburg's intends contracting for our
protection to its commerce in the Mediterranean,'
and, from the extracts in another part of our Paper,
is will be seen that it is not without the need of it.
