WINDSOR. APRIL 29.

British weol. It is well known that the cloths of York-
shire, of the quality and substance now used, cannot be
made from British wool, but ate principally censposed
of Saxony and other foreign wool, mixed with a regular
proportion of British produce. The British wool grower,
therefore, by checking the introduction of the raw
material from abroad, would inevitably injure him.
self. The large supplies of foreign wool that fol•
lowed the lowering of the duty, have been attri-
buted by Mr. HUSZMON to a spirit of speculation,
for 'which the importers have paid dearly, and which
bas,. now subsided. The value of our exports of
cloth in 1827 to Germany, from whence the wool
chiefly comes, was a million sterling; and we will never
believe that Government, to humour the fanciful fears'
of the landed interest, will sacrifice a trade of so great
national importance as the woollen manufactures, which
are now happily in a thriving condition.
The Paris Papers state the evacuation of Pampeluna
by the French garrison, and that the troops at St:
Sebastian will leave it early in May. While the letters
from Bucharest anticipate the ithenediate arrival of the
Russians, the report on the Exchange at Paris was, that
the negociations with Turkey had been resumed. The
approach of isostilities seems, at all events, as .far
:re-
moved as ever, at least as far as regards Great Britain

and France.
The Private Correspondence seems to hint at Lord
LONDONDERRY having some secret political object for
his visit to Paris. The idea is as ridiculous as the rest
of the supposition, viz. that the object in question is in
direct opposition to the policy of Mr. CANNING. The
known hostility of Lord LONDONDERRY to that policy
make it next to impossible that his Lordship should be
at Paris for any other reason than his own private
pleasure.

We received tilt. morning the Algemeine Zeitung to

BUCHAREST. Ann. 12:

The fear of an approaching invasion by the Russians
has so gained ground, that (especially in consideration
of the vicinity of Rudschuk, from which the Tusks may
pay _us a visit in one night) many families of the Bojars
are pi eparing to go to Transylvania some have already
set out. We have no recent news from Constantinople.

instead of that, sends him fresh reinforcements. A corrs
