The following answer has been transmitted to the
Petition lately sent from Hull, to the Lords of the
Privv Council :

" Council-Office, Whitehall, April 18, 11110.

Sts—The Lords of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy
Council having had Ender consideration the Petit'on of the Mer-
chant, and Ship-owners of the town of K ingston-upon -H ull, praying
that no more licences may be granted to foreign vessels, permit-
tag them to import timber from the Baltic, &c. I am directed
ta acquaint you, for the information of the Gentlemen of Hull,
isterested in the timber trade, that an abundant supply of timber
IS essential to the manufacturing and trading interests of Great
Britain; and that it does not appear that an adequate supply of
that article could have been secured, if all importatiottS from the
Baltic had been suddenly interrupted.
" I am, however, to observe, that the Lords of the Council
Bore not recommended the granting of any licences for such im-
portations in foreign vessels, front any ports where British vessels
are permitted to enter; and that the increase of foreign vessels
u the unavoidable consequence of the extension of the war, and
the exclusion of British ships from the ports of the Continent.
" I am directed further to state, that their Lordships have,
ander consideration, the expediency of submitting to Parliament,
that additional duties should be imposed on the importation of
)teign timber ; with a view to give a decided preference to
timber the growth of his Majesty's colonies in North America,
which is allowed to be imported, duty free, by the law as it now

.1 vessel has arrived from Teneriffe, bringing let-
ters, which state that some commotions had taken
Place in that island, although not of a very serious
nature. Two Frenchmen had been killed during these
transactions ; and it is conjectured that the irritation
of the people had been excited by the suspicion, that
these men had meditated some hostile designs :

" SANTA CRUZ, (TENERIFFE) MARCH 15.

" Tuesday, at five o'clock in the evening, about
GOO men,armed with sticks, &c. appeared in the streets,
near the port, directing their course to the house of
Mr. Cologun, demanding the head of Mr. Brezan, a
clerk of that house, and notwithstanding the entreaties
of the Governor and Mr. Cologne, and the ezhorta.
tons of the Clergy, nothing could stop the fatal blow.
?nor erezan fell a sacrifice to their fury. They as-
s:sse,,:ited him dragged his body through the streets,
and afterward: went in search of Mr. Boral, a school-
?rarer, who had taken refuge in the Mold Battery;
dragged him from the Governor's side,•and the Al-
rade who were protecting him. They afterwards as-
sassinated him, dragged his body through the streets ;
And at length tied him by one of his legs to the
nl4s` of a vessel in the Plaza del Charts. These dread-
ful Acts would not have been so soon put an and to,
had it not been for the determination of some of the
wealthy inhabitants, who despising all danger, seized
