DEAR SIR,
| do not know, whether the
contained in nv letter of
the 9Th of last month, viii enable
you to obtain the recall of the Berlin
decree. Certainly, the inference
from that statement is, that the
blockade Of 1906 is virtually at an
end; being merged and compre-
hended III an order Ill council, issu-
ed after the date of the edict OF Der
lin. 1 am, however, about to try
to obtain a formal revocation of that
b!ockace 'and Of that of Venice)

that they are not in force. AS II

18th of February, and to inform
s you. that ! had, in consequence, an
appointment 10 meet Lord Welles-
ley on the third.
AT the interviewwhich took place
in pursuance ofthat appointment, /
explained to Lord Wellesley the
nature Of the powers now confded
to me, and, as far as was necessary,
the subjects to which they related.
The result OF the conversation which
ensured, was an understanding, that
we should begin with an attempt to
settle the affair of the Chesapeake,
and that attempt being successful,
that we should proceed to consider
next the subject of the orders in
council, and lastly, the commercial
ard other concerns, embraced by
the co',,i:IIsston OF 800, to Mr..
Monroe and myself.
II conformity with this under
standing, it was agreed, that | should
immediately fellow up the confer
ence with q note, stating my autho-
rity to adjust with the British gov
ernment the case oft!lt Chesapeake;
and have accordingly prepared and
sent to Lord Wellesley the letter,
ofmiich copy is enclosed. | have
not since heard from his lordship,
to whom, OF course. it now belongs
to make proposals.
1t will not, trust, be thought,
that my letter, which is simply an

eminent may choose to make, goes

II is stated in Ar.bvy 1onzs's Lineolrshire,"
that Mr.. Graves, of that county, had true Lin
coin sheep, which clipped tsgen.y three pounds
OF wool, the first year, and within half a pound
OF that weight, the second year, and was sold,
in the London market the following Christmas.
weighing 40 lbs. the quarter. This gentleman
(Mr. Graves) sold in 1896, no less than s568
tods Of wool, weighing each 2S pounds.
They feed oftenon oil cakes, often on turnips.
and sometimes on plant called the Saw thistle,
which grows on rich lands. Nothing makes
wool grow so fast as oil cake.
1t is also stated, thst the sheep around Boston.
in Lincolnshire, e. b. yield on an average, IA
pounds of wool per annum, fit for kerseys, blan-
kcts, carpets, shalloons, Sc.
A lady of Spalding, in the same county, spun
one pound OF this wool into 10000 Yards or o5
miles of yarn. The apprentices spin it to the
length of 1910 yards to the pound, or miles,
Hence we NAV learn the profits this country can
make on the long wooded or heavy fleeced sheen.
BY conbing the wool and making {" Worstedn'
stuffs, srch az shaIloons, durants, moreens, bonn
baZettes, &c.
They use machine to comb wool called "
Big Ben"
The price Of fat Lincolnshire sheep. afte-
the third shearing, is 39s. to 72s. sterling: or 8
dollars and ~ cents to Is dollars for the sheep.
The Lincoln shep are preferred TO any other
