e BorLand, to an highly RESPECTABLE merean-
tile house in this city, dated
LIVERPOOL. Oct. le.
&C The meeting of parliament has been fur-
ther deferred till the 7th January. Before that
day change will have taken place In the ad-
rninistration. 1t is not known what persons
specifically may come in; but there seems
little reason to doubt but that the Wellesleys
will remain in power, and the probability Is
that MIR. Percival will retire. Upon this as
sumption we might reason tavorabiy on the
nrospect of our relations with the I. States,
but we do not observe that the public has yet
directed its attention to this subject connected
with change of administration.
"The prosecution OF the war IN SPAN seems
likely to be rendered the more certain tromthe
approaching termination OF the restrictions
upon the power of the prince regent, whose
sentiment has been known to be In favor OF
that course.
owe may mention for your information
that we lately had occasion to lay before the
Board of Trade the expediency of permitting
american vessels to enter the ports of St. An
drews and St. Johns, New Brunswick, and of
Halifax, Nova Scotia, for the purpose OF car
ryinp away manufactured goods, which had
been shipped there from hence. The Board
of Trade have kept the subject before them
for two months past; but they have now lnu-
mated their compliance with our request;
they at the same time informed US that they
would transmit orders to the governors, or
proper officers at these places, to allow any
British manufactured goods, or British West
India colonial produce, to be carried away in
american vessels for the United States, and
also to allow american vessels to Impor, into
ST. Andrews. St Johns, or Ha.lfaX, from any
place in the United States, wheat and grain OF
any kind, bread, biscuit and -four, pitch tar
and turpentine, the produce Of the said United
States. The Board at the Same time intimat-
ed to us that these restrictions were issued
by them under the Act of the 40 George Sd,
chapter 4eth, expiring on the 25th OF March
next but that they proposed bringing M i
new Bill before parliament tor extending the
operation Of said Act.
awe might here reason upon this subject,
by surmising the belief of the Board OF Trade
in the continued absence Of an adjustment
with the United States, seeing that they have
descended to this measure, and have calcuiat-
ed upon obtaining new act. But we really
believe that the members of the Board OF
Trade have on this occas; on acted solely tor
the convenience and in compliance with re-
quest of merchants, and that the measure has
no reference to any system of political pro-
ceedings."
Extract ofa letter from an american gentle
man in Lipertool TO a mercantile house in

81 have seen a gentleman to-day that has
Just arrived from the continent. He says that
official accounts had been received that an a.
micable adjustment of all differences had been
made between the emperor of Russia and b.
naparte-that Alexander claimed the liberty
Of regulating the trade of his own territories,
and that Bonaparte had acceded to it, In con-
sequence of this colonial produce and Ameri-
can cottons, logwood, sc. had risen in Pc
tersburg fifty per cent. 1t is said the Empe
ror Alexander negotiated at the head of
100000 chosen troops, and it was supposed
that Bonaparte was not fully prepared to re-
sist his friend and ally. Russian produce has
risen hcre--hemp say 81. per ton, Archangel
hemp is 81. in London. II is difficult TO say
what effect this will have upon American pro-
duce in this country. should think it would
be rather favorable than otherwise for every
thing but cotton. / have not been able to
trace any variation in the cotton market
since my arrival. allude to Uplands-the
present quality will sell readily at 10 10, and
prime 10 IA to 10 3.4, New-Orleans not

LiOertool, Oct. "a, 1911.
At the very moment when we obtain the
French Journals, which would persuade us
that the melancholy faces of the people of
Holland are distended with smiles of ioy and
gratitude at the arrival Of the despot of the
Continent, we receive accounts of the most
inhuman barbarity practised by " the best &
greatest Of monarchs" upon them--We are
favored with the following statement -" All
