Since ours of 10th ult. little change
in prices of American produce; some
holders were sanguine in expectation OF
advance, in consequence of ministers hay
ing it in contemplation to retaliate on
your non importation law, either by new
duties on your exports here, or prohibit
Ing them altogether in other than British
ships, and that MIR. Foster should not go
out; but the Prince Regent has overruled
the measure, and is determined not to
close the door to an amicable adjustment
of the existing differences. The lords of
trade have communicated to Lioyds, that
the Swedish frigate Eurydiee is cruising
in the Baltic against Danish vessels from
which it would appear, that there is no
great cordiality amongst the friends Of b.
naparte. 1t is further known, that there
are considerable movements in the north,
of French and Russian troops, which may
lead to something favorable"

Extract Of letter from an officer ut Fort
Stoddclt to his friend in Maryland, dat
cd 9th April 1911.
Col. Gushing has been arrested by Gen.
HAMPTON and ordered to Baton Rouge for
trial. He left this on the first day OF this
month, with his family for that place.
Col. Smyth is president of the court.
The arrest Of Col. Gushing has been the
means Of uniting the officers OF his Regi-
ment more in his favor. When he left
this place he observed, that it gave him
great deal Of pleasure to think that he
had the good wishes OF all his Officers.
Previous to Col Covington's coming on
here, when Loi. Gushing was ordered to
Baton Rouge i;or trial, there was not ut
this place, any transportation by water:
and as he had been for some time in d deli
cate state Of health, he was not able to
ride through, Us it is 500 miies; anu,
believe sent certificates from tic Surgeons
mates ut this post to Gen. Hampton, stat
ing that he would not be able to get there
as soon as the general wished. l will
give you an extract Of Gen. Hamp.On's
letter to Col. Covmgton-,iz.
" III. Quarters, Baton Rouge, March 20.
"COL. CONVICTION,
Sir" Col Gushing has refused to obey
8. my orders for placing himself In arrest.

for his trial, Oh the 18th ofuext month.
" You will afford this officer such means

" order into effect. The rout and mode
Sc oftraveliing will be at his choice, but
" he is to he held responsible for their

f" 6rthe country, admit not Of the accom-
=" mediation of stage coaches nor steam

The Col. with his family left this in
