Great British. Ia this ssase Of ,sAinrs ths
5 market was without con6dsnse a al,ho'
sone articles bsgsa to be cshil a Low
under on.iussrcsurae, yet the DISPOSITION
TO speculate on the continuance Of tFS3trie.
ton was very limited. =,
We havs cow received the prssidsns's
message Of 29th Novembey. Il arrived q
few days ago, and the impression being
hostile, speculative purchases have been
making, and We experienced advanced pri.
ces. - :,
The market will now depend o. the
prospect Of war, aud On the prospect Of
supply. ~ - ...... 81 t,v - ~
We are Of opinion tha. the hostile aspect
will not strens then under the present cir.
cumssances, having reason to believe that
ministers wish to avoid hostilitiss, and yet
all parties here seem TO acknewt dge, that a
similar state Of things with other nations
would produce rupture. 1t 10 difficult to
anticipate the course that each government
will follow, and, perhaps, ifno change Of
men takes place, the chasm may be of Gu:
ration bot the orders in council have in 4
great degree, in this county, ceased to be
considered good policy. -.
With respect to the idea of supply, the
public seems to regard the means Of oh.
tanning American produce rs practicable
unde, any circumstances than actual war.
Perhaps intelligence Of a rigorous embar-
20 law, would give the market another
stimulus but without something Of this
kind, or some new hostile demonstration,
we are doubtful Of furshe. general advance
at present some articles may sill improve
but adviees are arriving of some couside-
rable supplies. '...
Vita respect. to imports from America,
We sometime since communicated the fol-
lowing rule of our PRIV council, viz.
The council will grant licences allow

cotton, tobacco, or any other article the
produce of the United states, with liberty
to touch at Amelia Island, Havana, or
she Western Islands, or the island of Ma.
deua, or Lisbon, o. Cadiz. and it neces.

islands or places, and to reship in the same

papers to en,i,l, her to an entry on arrival

the master shall.be permitted to receive his
freight, and depart with his weasel and

We may add, THAT in cases of the pi oper.
