The chit f business before the Commons, hist night,
Mr Z;erjratit ONsLow's fi,r leivi. o bring
in A :o rep. si the Usury Laws. The a •sord,ty
of the interest of money was put in a strong
iig:it, by the practice which it was in consequence found
irlispensable to permit, of borrowing money on an-
Lai!l,:s, at from two to three times the rate legal
:.:'.teat. The CHANCSLLfiIt of the EXCIIRQUILIt. thltlBll
LOI prepared instantly to agree to the proposed altera-
tion of the law on this bead, had no hesitation in
confessing that he perfectly concurred in the principle
cf thi: measure proposed —and hence we may infer,
List thr period is not very distant when money, like
tray other commodity, will be left to find its own
price and value in the market.

We Mentioned some time ago, that the Chinese
brobasly, befitted ttl have been dismissed without
seeing the E astitenon, was expected to be back at
Canton by the 3d of December last. By letters brought
by the Anita-jean ship the Chesapeake, arrived at
firemen, and which did not leave Canton till the 15th
of December, twelve days later than the expected
time of their return, it appears that the Embassy had
ma then arrived at Canton, nor was any thing fur.
trier known of them.—How is this to be accounted
for is it possible that the Estrzaolt, after finding
that he had been imposed upon by some .of his Mi-
nisters, and had, on erroneous information, issued
Lh order not to receive the Embassy, has since com-
manded his Ministers to contrive means to recall it ?

Hambtugh, Dutch, and Flemish Mails arrived
tl:;s morning. We subjoin a few extracts from the
efferent Continental Journals brought by these Mails.

Berlin has been in a state of great gaiety with balls,
fcter and entertainments of various kinds, in honour
cl the mtniage betwttn the Princess CHARLOTTE of
Parana and the Grand Duke NICHOLAS of Russids.
The West India Houses at Copenhagen have re.
'rived but indifferent accounts from St. Thomas's
respecting the next crop of sugar. They expect only
79°0 or 8000 tons, instead of the usual return of
0000 or 40,000 ; so that hardly one half of the ships
"out, 90 in number, will be able to procure cargoes.
The East India Trade is also there in a low state,
craing to the cheapness of Teas. Congo may now
be bought there at less than two-thirds of a specie
dollar—a price at which their India Company can-
t import it. even in time of peace.
At Stockholm, the CltOwN PRINCE is still courting
r^-,,plar favour, by Decrees said to be for the en-
"'augment of their home commerce, but actually
calculated to destroy trade. A prohibition of the
importation of Coffee is expected, of which the. con-
'Anption is very great, about 3,300,000 lbs. annually.
The Brussels letters mention the arrival there of
7e7tral French Officers--on their way to
