BRUSSELS, MARCH 12.

The last accounts from Germany say, that, :the
prices of corn are fallen all over Germany, partly
owing to the large supplies coming from the North;
and partly to the large quantities which have been
hitherto kept back, either through fear or on specula•
tion, and which were found to be much more com.., l
demble than was supposed.

MARCN'l3.—Yesterday a deputation. of the mer-
chants of the city of Antwerp had the honour to be
admitted. to an audience with his Majesty. It pre-
sented to him the just remonstrances of the merchants
of Antwerp against the dpoit S. Pd. which has been
levied for some days past by the Bureau of Flushing.
'The King answered in the most gracious m inner,
and there is every reason to hope, from the justice of
his Majesty, that the abuse which is complained of
will be immediately put an rod tn.

Brussels Papers arrived yesterday, from wMth we
have given extracts. They exhibit strong traits of
Commercial rivalship between two large cities, Ant-
werp and Amsterdam. As far as ue ein a::derstand
the facts, the old system, founded on injustice; aid
violating one of the first laws of Nature, is aimed to
be revived in favour of Amstetdam. The drois da

forced :—that is, the Commerce of that river is n:
shut up as before the French Revolution. Is this the

TO THE SENATE AN'D HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES DP
THE UNITED STATES.
The Government of Great Britain, induced by
:tie pasture of the relations with the United States
succce.led the conclusion of the recent Com-
:rt:cial Convention, issued an Order on the 17th of
August, J 813, discontinuing the discriminating duties
;..iy4hie in British ports on American vessels and their
;al;,;ovs. It was not until the 22d of December foi-
-1 wing that a corresponding discontinuance of discri-
minating duties on British vessels and their cargoes,
in American ports, took effect, under the authority
vested in the Executive by the Act of March, 1816.
During the period of those two dates, there was
consequently a failure of reciprocity or equality in
the esisting regulations of the two countries. I re-
commend to the consideration of Congress the expe-
ditncy of paying to the British Government the
amount of the duties remitted) during the period in
question, to the Citizens of the United States ; sub.
j.N.I to a deduction of the amount of whatever discri-
mina:tag duties may have commenced in British
ports after the signature of Convention, and been
collected previous to the 17th August, 1815.
