COMMUNICATION.
MERCAA TIE CUpTDIyy


The news received the other day about
the adjustment of oar affair. with Great
Britain, seemed to give new life and acti-
witty to the spectators. The merch ants
had completely adopted the much execra
Tea tarrdhin policy, but this intelligence.
IKE the application of heat to the back of

hioited In federal caricature the other
evening, that they not only showed out their
heads, but used their feet with great
deal of hurry and swiftness Some had
the good fortune to receive the news the
night before. And no doubt thought that
they were fully possessed of the secrets of
the Cabinet. Their minds so much de-
iBhtcd with the golden speculation before
them, that sleep fed from their pillows,
and as soon as the first ray Of the mornine
shed Its faintest light, they could not re-
IRAN from disturbing their neighbors with
the artfully conducted enquiry "hAVe Won
any -four for sale!' Who not hearing of
the news, slept perfectly sound, and could
not possibly conceive the cause, so true is
the old proverb that there is no f.ieHdshih
IA trade. Some poor fellows were COM
pletely taken in by the adrOtness of those
VINO had the news. But il was all f,ir
play, they would have done it themselves.

STEPH. COTTRELL.,
ATTACK ON BASQUE ROADS

The circumstances of the late attack up-
on the enemy's fleet. and the extraordinary
services of Lord Cochrane in conducting tbe
enterprise are not sufficiently known. We
have great pleasure in laying them before
the public, upon the authority of an officer
who shared in the gallant and perilous a.
chievement.
Lord Cochrane personally conducted the
explosion ship, which had been charged by
himself IN manner than which nothing was
ever contrived to be more dreadful. His
Lordship caused about 1900 barrels of gun.
powder to be started into puncheons. which
were fixed end upwards. Upon the tons of
these were placed between 500 and 400 shells
charged with fusees, and again among and
upon those were between 2 and 5000 hand
grenades. The punCheons were fastened to
each other by cables wound round them. and
Jammed together with wedges and moistep-
ed sand was rammed down between these
casks, so as to render the whole from stem
to stern, as solid as possible, that the re.is-
lance might render the explosion the more
violent. In this immense instrument OF des.
truction Lord Cochrane committed himself
with Only one lieutenant and four searnen :
and after the boom was broken, his lordship
proceeded with the explosion ship towards
the enemy's line. Let it5e recollected. that
at this moment the batteries on shore were
PROVIDED with furnaces to fire red hot shot
and then his Lordship's dangerin this enter,
prize may be properly conceived. The wind
blew gale, and the tide ran three knots a n
hour. When the blue lights of the fire shin
were discovered, one Of the enemy's signal
ships made the signal for FIRE ships which
being also blue light, the enemy fell into
great confusion, firing upon her with very
injurious effects and directly cut their cables.
When Lord Cochrane had conducted his
explosion ship as near as was possible, the

ORDERS IN COUNCIL REsc1xDgD.

ID.
Yesterday, at one o'clock, il consequence
OF r 9tifcation sent on "Wednesday evening
by Earl BATHURST, President of the Board
OF Trade to Mr.. SAMSON, Chairman of the
American committee, the latter accompa
med by Messrs. Barring, Jacobs, M'Kenzie,
Mullet, and several other respectable mer-
chants. deeply interested in the Commerce
with the u States, waited ON the Lords of
Trade at the Treasury.
At this conference it was announced that
the Orders in Council would be rescinded as
tar as they relate to the American republic /:
and that this arrangement should take date
from the preceding day Goth April. 1t was
at the same time decided that the ports of
France, Holland, Italy, and their dependen-
cies, SHOULD be put into the most rigorous
blockade. Under the last distinction are tn
DC included, In Spain the city of Barcelona.
and the Bay of Rosas in the Mediterranean
and the coast Of the Bay of Biscay from Sin
lander to Fonterabla.
by this regulation the U. States NAV trade
without Interpolation from British cruizers
with all the ports of Russia, Norway. and
sweden, in the Northern Ocean: with the
whole circuit Of the Baltic Sea with the
British Isles; with Spain from the Eastern
extremity OF Asturias to the Southern bank
OF the Lobergat; and Italian and French
ports excepted, with every harbour of the
Mediterranean from the straits of Gibraltar
to the sea of Marmora.
Licences will be granted to all the ports
North OF the Weser and South of the Eyder ::
but we understand they are to be withheld
with respect to the rest OF the continent, ex-
cepting the Ravens Of the Baltic.
Another commercial arrangement of great
temporary importance is, the indulgence tn
be given as to the shipping to be employed in
The transport of American produce. These
commodities may be imported in any shin
however documented, from the Floridas.
from the Western Isles, from Madeira. Lis.
bon and Cadiz, free of the duties under the
Orders in Council, to the first of August next.
The full particulars of these changes in
our commercial system in regard to the u.
States, are to appear in the Gazette of Sa :
turday next.
Mr.. Pinkney, we understand, has express
ed his appreciation of the adoption of these
measures by our government and the Paci-
ic is under sailing orders to convey the in.
telligence to America
The public will naturally be anxious 70
know what has induced Ministers to adopt a
line OF conduct respecting America so dia-
metrIcally opposite to the policy hitherto
maintained; nor can it be doubted that some
explanation will be given in parliament. We
sincerely hope that j, will be made apparen,
