INTERESTING TO FARMERS.

INTERESTING TO FARMERS.
We have been favored with the fol-
lowing remarks from one oil the shrewd-
est aud most eminent merchants Of this
city:
WoulJ it not be we'll to give the To-
bacco planters hint for the high prices
given for Tobacco--5 to Sl3! The
quantity of fine Tobacco used 10 Great
Britain and ireland, does not exceed
5000 hhds.-ths mean and ordinary,
IS 900 hhds. is consumed on the contl-
nent of Europe, where it will, in all pro-
liability, fetch nearly as high prices as
the first qualities in Great Britain and
Ireland. Hence any Tobacco that will
pass inspection, will find a ready sale in
Virginia, on the opening Of the ports OF
the u. States. The crops OF Virginia
usually exceeded $1,000 hhds.-Of
late years, sihcetbs cultivation OF Wheat
was adopted, has been reduced 10 Is to
1000 hhds. Hence great scarcity of
this valuable article in the market here
and in Europe-it will require or 8
crops of As to so 900 hhds. to repleDish
the markets. You can add much argu-
ment to enforce this recommendation.
The Baltic and Black Seas will furnish
ample supplies Of Wheat for Spain and
Portugal-tbe w. Indies require not o.
yer 20 to 10000 bis. Flour--No caIcu-
Iation can well be made over IS. per
sob. for Wheat, and 5 for Flour, on
a General Peace.
In addition to the above, we must in
vito the attention Of the Farmer to the
late changes which have taken place in
Europe.-The Baltic, and the Hanse
towns, perhaps Holland, wiN be open to
our Tobaccoes-Spain and Portugal be.
ing rid OF the French, will raise more
Bread.stuffs for themselves, they will
get more from Dantzic, &c.-So that
alta General Peace, if it beams this year,
they will want less of our Flour. Thus,
while tue market for our bread is clos
ing, that Tor Tobacco is opening
DOES not interest then point out to our
Farmers, to devote less Of their crops 10
Wheat and more to Tobacccl

Mr. Newton OF Va. moved to a.
mend the bill 80 as to include the ex-
tension also of relief to Archibald
M'Call, Of Philadelphia, whose pc
tition had been referred to the COM
mittee Of commerce and manufac-
lures.
This motion produced considerable
discussion, in which Messrs. New
ton, Ingersoll, and Seybert supported
the motion, and Messrs. Fisk OF n.
Y. Post, and Irving opposed it; but
not in any way involving the merits OF
A. Meals case. The motion was
negatived, ayes 81.
The committee rose and reported
the amendments to the bill.
Mr.. Murfree of N. C. moved to
recommmit the bill to the committee
of Commerce & Manufactures, with
a view of having eomprehended in one
bill all the eases of similar character
which deserved relief.
This motion also gave rise to a
considerable debate, being supported
by Messrs Murfree, Seybert, Ingcr-
soil, and M'kim and opposed by
| Messrs. Fisk Of VT Wright, Fisk
OF N. Y. and Newton.--The motion
was lost, ayes So; and
