q Since the lasto May, owing to discou-
ragements excited by reports on political
subjects that cannot with propriety be here
related, the prices of colonial produce de-
'clined So to'4o per cent.
S Within a few days past, however, the
demands for consumption have been brisk,
and prices have mounted to the quotations
at foot, and viii ere long be considerably,
augmented.
$ AS neutrals are now no longer tolerat-
ed, immense voyages are to be made by fast
sailing schrs. under the French flag the
papers of the expedition must be in the
strictest rule to prevent difficulties here with

State of Spain, orders should be given in no
event to enter her ports.

spects the two great beHigerents, is not Ikea
" to be changed. A considerable number
of American vessels and cargoes have been
lately condemned here, and viii be sold in
