in thisiway, bv the elevation or depression of
|thepubfic seusation, those gentlemen are so
well aware of the stocks being nl,imateiv
net worth n tarthing, that they would never
own one hundred pounds worth of such pro-
perry. When a Dstch merchant wants to
make a large speculation in coffee, &c. heis
not such a fool as toilet any enc know he has
such an object in view. On the contrary he
turns an immense quantity into market. and
oilers II for sale-he lets as little as he can
With decency go OF at very low prices-he
'ntimidates the weak ignorant, OF the neces-
sitous, who sell their coffee tobrokers, whom
NE has IN a different name employed To buy,
whist he is pretending to sell. Let US sup
pose then that in Philadelphia there might
be a man. or a few men, who had large re-
mittanoes to make to Europe-who had
made heavy advances on produce now on
board vessels for which it is not very pro-
babe they can obtain reimburseme,t un-
less alsale can he effected here. or that the
said protiuce can be got to market circuitouS-
fy previous TO Similar shipments being made
which would lower the value in England.
NOV It the idea of a free export direct to
Great Britain in one month should induce tho
geese to make urchaSeS IF tins should iosv-
er c1chd7ige, & il in the mean time the irno-
rant should be'deterred for a whole month
from maxim circuitous shipments in expec-
tation of a direct trade with England being
opened, whilst those who are in the secret
make immense profits on their operations, Of
what moment is the loss of q few Thousand
dollars apparently thrown away on an insn-
rance, when 1t IS possible that an immense.
profit will be the resnlt.-I am fora

The situation Of our European affairs ha-
wing experienced no change since the laying
on OF the Embargo, it was expected that
few would venture their wealth abroad, with
no other security Tor its protection, than
their being bound to aneutral port, or the
anicable feelings OF ain English or French
privateeers-man. We hope thae no one who
has v%entured his property abroad since the
partial raising CT the embargo, may have
cause to repent OF his temerity, but wish to
the mariner prosperous gales, and to, the
