COMMERCE.

z" In the mean while I see with s~atistac-
ton tirat our real citizens are preparing
with spirit to provide for themselves those
comforts s. ~conveniences OF life for which it
would he un1vise everMaore to recurto distant
countries"
III. feBsrson's reply to the NeeO- Hamb-
sire legislature,
The correct explanation of this passage
Is, that having been very foolishly in the
habit of taking to Europe (" comforts and
convenience" which we did not want, and
9 exchanging them for " comforts and con
veniences" which we required having
been at the trouble Of bringing the latter
home, but having, at the date of Mr.. JET
%ferson's reply, withdrawn ourselves from
the ocean and ~relinquished the vexation OF
the exchange, it would " be unwlse ever
more to recur to distant countries tor those
comforts and conveniences." If this did
not mean an everlasting embargo and an
utter extinction of external commerce,
words have no meaning. Well therefore
might the friends to commerce be alarmed
of that M which has enriched us,
and made us what we are, a great, flourish
ing, and until the latter end of Mr.. is. adj
ministration, a happy people. The destruc-
ton of our commerce would inevitably be
followed, and upon the accomplishment OF
which i believe he was intent. rejoice
that Mr.. Madison has decided that 1t IS
wise again to :" recur to distant countries
with our comforts and conseniences," and
TO exchange them for the comforts and con-
yeniences of Europe. And the ADJUST
ment which is the effect Of that decision,
was SO expe ditiously, SO handsomely effect
| ed. as to authorize a we]i-founded hope that
hereafter we shall not be made the victims
| of unnecessary and ~ruinous suspensions OF
our commerce. If the administration OF
Mr.. Madison be continued as it has begun,
| it will merit and will certainly receive the
! appreciation of every enlightened TREND OF
his country. 49,.

BALTIMORE, thrill %.

Arrived, ship Messenger, Quimby, II
days from Havana. The Messenger left
this since the raising of the embargo. No
news There was a combination among the
purchasers of -four not to buy for a certain
time, with a forfeiture of 1000 dollars on
those that broke it.
Extract eta letter fran the Ha0ana 6yMe
MeSSenger) dated
HAVANA, April 10.
A week ago, the brig Blanchy, from
Baltimore, arrived here. The result Of her
voyage is yet doubtful. The ultimate IN
%tention of this government is unknown !;
but a duty of about eleven dollars a barrel
on -four will be imposed, and so per cent.
On all other American articles which can or
have been supplied from Vera Cruz or Cam
peachy. They will grant a drawback, how
ever, on all such articles, including -four,
which may be re-shipped, in any bottoms
within sixty days-after sixty days, the
drawback will still be allowed when re-
shipped in Spanish vessels.
We know not what to ask for -four will
not take less than 90 dollars. Produce has
not liSeu ihuCl-WHilC sugars # 81 u y
dollars brown 2 SO to 5. Duty on wine
and all dry goods, except cotton, 20 Per
cent. formerly 81 70 49,
There are about 9 or 10000 bbls. Flour
in the market.
A letter from Havana of the 5th instant,
states that so sail of American vessels from
the United States had arrived there within
that week, among which was the brig
Blanche, Richardson, from Baltimore. A
duty of ten dollars per Dbl. on -four had
been laid by the government to enable the
holders of it that had bought at advanced
prices to dispose on equal terms. Owing
to the Holy days nc business had been done;
no sale of -four had been effected the price
remained unfxed. Sugars (brown) had
risen from one and a half to four dollars
The following which is from the Phila-
delphia Gazette, gives a different reason for
laying high duties.
A letter from Havana says: Gin con-
sequence of Spanish vessels not being per-
mitted to bring cargoes from the U. States,
it IS in contemplation to double the duties
on all American imports.

yesterday, iii II days from Havana, we un-
derstand, that several American vessels which
had sailed since the 10th Of the last month,
