One of our mercantile friends have ia ;.
vored US with the following extract Of a
letter from Liverpool, received by one Of
the last arrivals-the information therein
contained comes from men of tile first in.
formation, and may be depended Ont
pourtrays in strong colors, the great pro-.
liability of reduced stock of grain in that

their wants, affords US strong ground to
hope, that they will yet have per force to

them from their present embarrassments,

from the United States, will be but par
tial, and at very great increase OF ex-
pence.
