Extract of a letter fromPetersburgh, dated Nov. :
" No intelligence has been received from Cronstadt.
I am informed, however, that a person returned from
Oranienbaum, saw a number of ships put to sea the
day before.yesterday. The weather for the two last
days has been mild, not above one degree of .frosi
during the night; and judging from appearances there
is no reason to despair of the ships getting away, even
now, with the change of wind.

It is stated that some additions are to be made to
Carlton-house. The roof is to be taken off, the walls
to be raised a story higher; and the house, as it will
then stand, will form the centre of a Palace, upon a
magnificent scale, to be built at a future period.
When the additional buildings are about to be begun,
Warwick House, Warwick-street, and the whole of
the houses from the Haymarket to Carlton-house, are
to be pulled down ; and on the other side, the Red-
house, Mr. Pit ixxirs's house, with some others, so as
to obtain sufficient space to render the wings of the
new Palace uniform. A larger Courtyard will be
formed before each of the new wings, as these will
extend in a sloping form to the rear.

The 10th instant was the last day allowed by law

We hear that subscriptions edotinue to be solicited
to the Petitions for raising the importation Price
of Grain. We warn those who are concerned in
this anti-national and inhuman proceeding, to de-
sist. Government, it is said, will not lend them its
support ; but they expect to carry the measure by
surprise; and hence it is that -no Meetings have
been called by them, but that they enlist par-
tizans secretly. They cannot, we should in can-
dour hope, conceive the full-wickedness of their con-
duct, or the public injury which is likely to result
from it ?f they should be successful ; our firm persua-
siouis, that not only would they oppress the nation,
'We-likewise injure themselves: for if bread is raised
rte a price not easily attainable here, the consequence
inevitably' be, that men of large families and
L small incomes will go where it is cheaper : emigration
"ta the Continents both of Europe and America will
increase, and the consumers will be diminished at
home. Be it observed, also, that the temptation to
emigrate will be the stronger, because, as bread rises
in price here, (except, indeed, 'in the case of an uni-
-versal.scarcity,) its relative value will be likely to be
less abroad, on account of the export to this coun-
try being prohibited, or the price at which it is
allowed raised to an exorbitantly* high amount.—
The first pressure of the injury of raising the impor-
tation price of corn would of. course be felt by the,
tnanulactUrer. He must in the same proportion raise
the wages of his journeymen, to enable them to buy
bread ; the manufactured articles most then be sold
dearer ;—and the foreign dealers would, in conse-
quence, no longer come here to make purchales in
the same numbers ; and if the landholder supposesl
that such a state of things will not ultimately and by j
re-action affect him as the primary cause of it, he is
grossly mistaken. He will first lone many of the na-
tore consumers by emigration; and he will second')
drive away the foreign consumers, who invariably
Baskin great nnuibers to chow countries where ma-
Magatiatree fioitrish, and 'commerce is most (tee.
