London, October o6
Saturday Erei.sng, hay past sepen
by accounts received TO-DAY from H.,
land, 1t appears that there had been a ior
siderable squabbling between some toh>
rican owners and the Dutch C;oyernn,nsile '
and the former charge tho latter Will
breach OF faith. Several American si;
arrived IN tins country with cargoes y.
tea, and as none had been recen;ly VI
ceiyed IN Holland by the Dutch Eas, r. IT,
dia Company, they were anxious to ,al.
the American cargoes to dispose ofat,h'
autumn sales, III order to afford asm"i'
tor the country until their own teas bra'
been got home. In the interim Sow, ""
Dutch tea ships arrive, and on this aceona.
the Dutch Government will only perm;,
nan OF the American teas to be sold
consisting OF p, 900 quarter chests. III,
Dutch sales are fixed for the 18th mo-.
month, when the above chests ara w"
pecied to be sold but the residue of ,lr
American cargoes Says the Dutch Go" e
ernmenO must be put ofltiIlthe sprin,
Meanwhile, the Americans, feeling tba.
they have been already botk deceived nnS
disappointed, suspect that in the iltervsI
should any further arrivals take place nm
Dutch account, and which is more tban
probable there may, the remains of tLa
American cargoes wil'have TO remain 3.
yer Tor an uncertain period. These pro.
ccedings are sorely felt by the Americans.
but, on the other hand, il is stated bv tho
Dutch that some of the American car
goes were landed without any previous
PERMISSION being given, Of any promise
beng made them with regard to their
saies-and such cargoes, ii is maintained
ought TO have no preference, even Dutch
cargoes.
Exchange came lower from all parts of
the Continent to-day. At Paris, on We'd.

We have advices from Naples to the 9TH

Is to he depiored that the harvest has been
extremely deficient in Italy, inasmuch
that the government had come to the re-
solution OF allowing the importation of
wheat, rice, Hour, oats, and barley of all
Kinds, free Of duty. This regulation
which has been ordered was to continue
IN force until the 3lst Of August, 1917.
Letters from Hamburgh of the 10Th,
inform us that all descriptions of grain
were in brisk demand, and that the or
ders for wheat, from England, could not
be executed, as the stock on hand was
very small, and the good kinds were even
much wanted. The following are the pri-
ces reducedinto sterling, at the exchange

A horrible attempt (says Paris private
letter)w was made, scme nights back, to
blow up the Barracks, near the barrier
leading to ST. German, on the south
side efthe river At one o'clock in the
morning, man was discovered with a
match III his hand he was shot by two
centInels at the same moment, and atthe
place where he was shot, it was discover
Ell that there was communication with
the vaults, in which several barrels of
gunpowder had been laced, for the hor-
nbie purpose Questioning 5000 men an
instant.
We are inclined to think that tIie pre-
sent disiresses oftlle couBtry are in some
measure, owing TO the restrictive system
OF our own commercial laws. 1t would
seem that our country, which excels in
manufactures, readily shuts the door a.
gainst purchasers-for it is only by TAX
ing the comparatively few articles inwhich
other nations deal, that they i'll return can
be able TO take off our stores. The effect
produced by Lord Aukland's commercial
treaty with France, after the peace of
1888, was certainly wonderful. We a.
greed TO take French toys, millinery, &c.
and we poured into that country all the
staple manufactures of Britain to an ex-
tent uncXamp!ed in our history. If we
we're now TO admit these articles and their
wines, also, at the duties of Portugal
wine, we are inclined to think il would
prove much better policy than the res
fuctlye system now pursued.
Within these two or three DAYS several
vessels have been chartered for Charles
ton from the port of London, no doubt for
rice and flour. at the last quotations
from Charleston, -four was 81 dollars per
barrel rice 81 the former will be worth
here from Cos TO Cos which will leave
handsome profit to the importer.-They
have plenty of flour i'm America to spare
and should the ports be opened, ii will be
most favorable circumstance foTthe A.
mericans, which have so long I'D idle in
consequence of the high prices which to-
