"September 18.-The great quantities of
coffee and other articles, which are now i'm
ported by sfraud, prevents the rise of the
same. Within the space of a fortnight, have
thus been imported into east Friesland alone,
upwards of 1000 bales of coffee.
according TO the late accounts from Pa
ris, it appears there is no more fear of a
rupture between France and the u. States :;
but that the state of things will remain as
heretofore.
Sept. 19.-The Danish government have
prohibited the expectation of sugars from
Holstein.
October S.-The disposition of our go

Of late so that it seems, they are now de-
ternlined not to admit any American cargoes
whatever, eyeh if they should consist only
of articles permitted before, such as tobacco.

1.-The resolutions of our government, in
regard to trade, are now SO fiuctu ating, that
no dependence can be placed upon the dura-
Gon of commercial regulations for any length
OF time, and therefore it is very possible
that if a vessel. with before permitted ar
ticles, would arrive, the admission of it might
be obtained; but we repeat, that nothing
can be said Of it with certainty"
