In contemplating our future PROSPECTS for
the sale of American produde, it is difficult to
foresee the effects which may be produced v
complete restoration oftrade; but generally
we are of opinion, that the increased supplies
will so far exceed the increased consumption
from the impulse given to commerce and ma
nufactures, thot we anticipate decline on
most kinds of American produce. Up to this
period, and for some time back, we have had
very little business doing.
We are respectfully,
Your assured friends.

In the British house of Commons, June %,
Mcssrs. Brougham, Barring, Ponsonby, Whit.
bread and Durdett, complimented the minis.
tiers ON the manner. of the revocation of the or.
ders in council declaring that it was to the ex-
tent of their desires; they had no doubt but il
would be satisfactory to the American govern
ment, and restore q good understanding Sir
F. Burdett wished the impressment subject
put on better footing Lord Castlereagh
said MIR. Foster was taking steps to put an end
20 this source of misunderstanding, and had
asked for list with view to inquiry and res
toration. Mr.. Ponsonby said if America rose
in her demands to what was unreasonable and
unjust, no man would be more forward than
himself to support the rights of England.
Msssrs Brougham and Barring, expressed
similar sentiments with those of Mr.. Ponson-
BY
Mr.. Whilbread hoped concord with Ame.
RIGA would be speedily restored, and that MI
nisters would next attempt to make peace with
France.
No expectation that our government would
have declared war previous to the news OF the
revocation reaching this country appeared tobe
entertained by members of parliament but
out Of the Legislature such an expectation was
discoverablc in some persons. The London
Pilot" says, " If war should haveti ken place,
we have no doubt good understanding will
be Immediately restored, and PREPARATION made
on both sides"
1t is understood, that the British govern
ment have, at the request Of the captains and
shippers, granted projections against capture,
to Americans bound home from England with
cargoes, since the revocation of the orders IN

FROM ANOTHER.
Lipertook, 25h June,

LiVerfoof, 25th June, 1917 T
We annex the copy of an Order in Councll,
lust published by our government, which re-
yokes those obnoxious acts, the Orders IN
Council;" and most heartily we congratulate
YOU on the suspicious opening 1t presents OF
an early termination Of the differences between
this country and the u. States, and OF the
restoration Of our commercial intercourse.
The intentions Of ministers were first announ-
ced in the House of Commons on the 18th
inst on the occasion of the debate on Mr..
Brougham's motion for repeal OF the Orders
in Council, but no opportunity Of giving you
earlier advice has offercd.-They have taken
a week to digest the document now published
which is more satisfactory than was tor some
days expected. The Orders are revoked at
ter the lst August and as it is the general
opinion here, that this revocation SATISFIES the
conditions under which the President is au-
thorised to repeal the Non Intercourse Law,
no doubt is entertained that be Will do so on
receiving due notice of this document; and
the American ships in this port, about forty IN
number, are preparing to return home with
British manufactures, &c. The freights are
fixed this day at 75s per ton for Bate Goods;
the Premium of insurance is 10 gulneas
per cent.
In the list of new duties, there is nothing
which applies to the y. States except that the
bounty on the expectation OF Calico will not
be in future allowed, and that there is an add
tional duty Oh Tobacco for home use OF ten
per cent.
Since this news was first known, but few
sales have been made Cotton has declined a.
bout I'd per Id. and when the currency IS a
gain fixed, we expect the prices of Naval
Stores, Ashes, Bark, Slaves, &c. will be 10 a
90 per cent lower than our late quotations.
Flour again advanced last week, s4s. tor
prime Philadelphia having been obtained,
though some sales were made few days be-
fore at IT'S. for Baltimore

g Liyerhool, 6M month, 26th, 1912.

From the last advices that our friends Will
have received from this country, they would
be prepared TO expect nothing from our 60
yernment of concilatory nature towards the
u. States of America; indeed, when we found
that the same men who composed the late adj
mnistration were eventually continued IN
power, we were almost hopeless ourselves OF
any change speedily taking place, and began to
fear, that the determined perseverance OF both
parties on the grounds which they had taken
might lead to very unpleasant consequences.
So strong an effect, however, has been pro-
duced by the evidence laid before the House
of Commons of the impolicy of the Orders In
Council that the ministers have at last DEEM
ed it most prudent to abandon them an 9TH
cial notification of which you will lind IN the
annexed copy Of the Order In Council OF the
Esd inst repeating all those Orders which
have so long been matter of dispute between
our two countries. Under such ausFlclous
circumstances, it is with feeling Of unmixed
pleasure that we now address you, looking
forward, as we trust we may, with the strong
est confidence, to the renewal and continuance
of an intercourse mutually advantageous
and we hail it as the forerunner of a complete
understanding upon al other points In dispute
between our respective governments we
already begin to experience the beneficial et-
fccts of this change of policy, In the large
shipments of British manufactures which are
now making to the u States, In the full faith,
that the revocation of the Non-lmportatlon
Law will follow as necessary consequence
of the repeal of the Orders in Council.
