The adjustment OF our differences with
Great Britain, will certainly &c a very plea
sing eveiit II every description of people IN
ithe United States, except Mr. John Ran
do4ph and his Spartan band The leaders
ot this party have long btcn painting for
power. and their last and only hopes were
lpniit upon the failure OF the measures OF
the administration. The success of the ad
ninisiration blasts all their dearest hopes,
ana estab'ish.sthe man, on whom they have
long delighted to heap ,heir vulgar aud ran
corous abuse, firmly the love and affcc-
tons OF the American people. No ceer-
etons' th at this faction can now employ, will
obtain for Mr.. John Randolph the appoint

No-snion between them and the fcdcraIiyts,
so strongly urged by Hortensius, during the
last Presidential election, will now be able

Important Office OF Secretary of state.
Ihe effect. that the settlement OF our diff
ferences with GREAT Britain, may possibly
produce upon our intercourS. with France,
is scarcely WORTH .enquiring into. Not that
! think itunimportant to this country, to keep
on good terms with Fig see, but because if
mt wee even reduced to a certainty, that an
adjustment Tcoutd pr otipce war with France,
we must, nevertheless sctde our disputes
with Great Britain, ewberevcrit can be done
upon honorable, .justand liberal terms. 1t

Extract Of letter from LiUerhool, dated
March 3, 1899
"The daily arrival of vessels which have
broke the Embargo, has had very r,ateri
al eject upon our market, and prices of most
descriptions of American produce are much
lower than they were when we had last the
pleasure TO address you; twenty six vessels
of the above description are arrived in this
port, AMI five in other parts of the kingdom :;
indeed, so general was the belief, that the
American government could not enforce the
embargo laws. that up to the 18th ult. sales
could v'ith difficulty be effected with any mo-
derate deduction from former prices. Cot
tons have been more materially affected than
any other species of produce. On the 2Oth
ut. affairs began to wear a more favorable
| appearance and sorIe considerable sales of
| Upland Georgia Cotton, were effected at Is.
! sd Is to 2s. Cd; an advance from the prices
ofthe 18th ult. of full I'd per 10 since then,
prices have again gone down TO 2s I'd, but
| at present are reviving, and should thing
| particular occur, will, we have no doubt, be
IS Cd in It very few days: the prospect for
the speculative purchaser is much more GER
| tain than it was some time back ; for though
the state of the manufactures are by noneans
encouraging, yet the manufacturers stocks of
every description are exhausted, and the
daily consumption must necessarily be drawn
from the ports.
Ashes have remained more steady IAN
Cotton, owing to the situation of the holders !;
indeed a very immateral cause of the huctu-
alton of the latter article, is the daily CON
signments which arise from the West Indies
and South america, the cOnsgnees of which
do not consider themselves justified in hold
ing at the present comparative high prices
Timber and Slaves remain excessively high {;
| OF these there is none of the growth of the
u. States remaining at market. Fine Quer-
citron Bark would command an exorbi-
tant price, none being left on hand; of the
inferior qualities, very little remains. and it
sells readily at the annexed quotation (36s
to 42s.)
"A very inferior parcel of Raxseed was
sold by auction on Wednesday last. at tSOs.
per gallons. Some inferior seed FOR crush
ing has sold as high as EOS per 8 gallons, but
owing to the idea ola supplxAom the Baltic,
the latter article is heavy ~ lie present mo-
ment. Deer skins ana hitieS of every de.
scription are without demand Good Anne
rican -four would Command high prices
Wheat has remained stationary since our
last respects; we, nevertheless, still retain
the opinion that prices viii go higher. Ca
rolina and Mississippi Indigo are almost out
OF use, being too coarse for the general manu-
factgreS. Naval stores are rcduc ed in price
since our last respects, though we conceive
the shutting up of the ports of the Baltic so
certain, that it is our opinion they wilt i'm
prove in price. Rice is IL good demand :;
some Hiiddling samples imported by the En-
b1rgo breakers, have sold at Sis To SIS per
Cwt.
" Colonial produce for export only is more
in demand; considerable quantities have
been shipped for Malta and Sicily, and no
eoubt the shipments for Heligoland will also
be extensive. Dyewoods of every dcscripti
on are heavy, the want Of export demand
