To the attention Of our correspon-

for this early opportunity Of present

the late pleasing intelligence from
the continent. We have been po-

addition to the particulars given in
cur paper of this morning-much in

their recent victories, and exaspera-

It is generally believed that pro-
visions, whether the property ofneu-
trails or enemies, will be unmolested
b, this government, when imported
into the Peninsula from the United
States but whether Licenses for
that purpose will be granted to A.
meriean Shipping as before. OF to
neutral vessels only, government has
not yet determined.
Provisions and lumber will be so
much wanted in the West India Co
lonies. that the import Of those arli-
cles will, probably. be permitted Ell.
Their under Licenses, or by instruc-
tons to the respective Governors
to that effect.
With respect to the American pro-
duce which may be required for the
consumption of this country, it is
difficult to hazard an opinion. as to
either the particular articles. or the
extent of the import which may be
permittcd.-Flaxsecd, Cloverseed,
Naval Stores, Wheat, Flour and
Rice, are likely TO be scarce. and an
opinion is entertained that they will
be allowed to be imported in neutral
bottoms but, pc rllaps. subject to
n proportionate export, in such yes
sells. of British Manufactures.
The arrival in London Of a few Ii
cences from France, for importation
Of cotton iuto tsat country. has caus
cd more demand for the article as it
will take about 5000 bags out Of the
London market
