Extract Of letter dated Liperpooh
Aag,ist 81.
Since 1 had this pleasure on the
18th uit. we had a regular aud steady
demand for American produce up to
the 9th inst. when a considerable
disposition to speculate evinced itself,
markets became brisk. and rather
better prices have consequently been
obtained ; indeed unless the Ameri.
can commissioners are met by minis
ters from this country. we 0la. look
for a gradual Improvement but Il
that event takes place, or il we have
reason 10 believe that aay Of the 'ii-
plOmatic characters Oh the continent
are authorised to negotiate with
them, we shall inevitably be lower.
A belief. however. that the war will
continue iscausins the speculative de-
maud yet 1 am willing to hope,
that as sOOu as the arrival OF Messrs.
GalIatin and Baya,d is officially no
titled by the Russian government to
this. that measures, towards an ac-
commodation will be taken; altho'
the expectation Of such an event is
certainly loosing ground. The ilou-
rishing state of the manufacturing
interest of Great Britain very much
decreases in public estimation the
immediate advantages to be derived
from peace with the u. s. and tends
to make the war popular since
that event took place the exports to
the West Indies. south America,
Portugal, and latterIy to Spain. are
very much increased !; and as We
are capable of Judging. have the ap-
pearance Of continuing so. unless
checked b. the high price of a prin-
eipal raw material.
