=" The American Commissioners are as
sembled at Client, and waiting there for the
British commissioners to meet them and it
is generally believed they will be met in all
this month by Admiral Gdrwbier, MIR. .6dona
and Mr.. Cola6uru, when hope peace VIII
take place although the people here wish for
continuance of the war openly. But, secretly,
rest assured peace with the u. States is
the sincere wish of eir hearts, as every
thing is uncommonly dull, both here and in
Manchester, and British manufactures of eve
~ description have fallen nearly to what they
were inlS12, owing to this country being exclu-
ded from France G the Continent elsewhere
- - POo' 'f'''N ihSy NiiiIlOl Ouvs dS money is
entirely out of the question consequently you
may Judge the situation of the manufactur ny
interest here. The astonishing changcin Fu1
rope has made the people mad, and they have
hardly come 10 their senses vet : only they
have found out that the trade is not what they
expected to have had when they got treaty
with France.
" am now fully convinced that the Us
is greater object TO this country with res
pect to her manufactures, than they wish 10
make rs believe. Be assured, they want the
trade OF the Z. States very much, and as far
as ! am able to learn the government see It
more than the people; as they appear to'be
iealousof the manufactures growing in the u.
States. The continent isnow in great mea-
sure independent of this rntry with regard
t manufactured goods, and large quantities
shipped to Bordeaux have actually been sent
back, and now not admissible at any rate-I
am crediblv informed that there are 10000
packages here and IS 900 in Lisbon ready to
60 to America. Those in Lisbon would have
been shipped in neutrals, had Cochrane not
issued his blockading decree. A great num-
Der oftroops have gone out frcm Bordeaux,
but hope they are gone to Canada. Gen.
Hill who is to take command of them, has not
