LATEST FROM LIVERPOOL.
By the arrival last evening Of the fast
sailing ship Dumtries, capt. John A.
Hilbert, in So days from Liverpool.
(which so frequently brings US uews)
we are again by the politeness Of her
owners, furnished with Liverpool dates
to the Sd u!timc.
From a hasty glance at the papers, We
perceive nothing IF immediate interest
there appear 10 be no tumults-no rising
no rebelions the friends OF reform
are. as usual, holding their meetings and
denouhcing the ministry as the authors
of all the evils with which the nation la.
been AFFECTED /; the late famine not ex
ceptel. The defenders of the ministry
have not turned this argument against
their political opponents as they might
have done with the same justice as the
charge has been m:de, and at!enf ted to
shew that the ministry were the au-
thors of the sunshine and rain by which
a plentiful crop has ersued. The king
Of France has had half an hours cUnver-
sation with the duke Of Yelling on-be
has received visits from several mem
bers of the royal family, and no doubt
all parties were highly delighted with
the interview. Tie king Of Prussia still
continues to travel incrgnito. In Eng
land we hear Of sundry horse races, sun
dry Gretna Green marriages, sundrv
men tried for high crimes and misde.
meanors. and sundry men who have been
hanged upon the gal!Ows. Then there
are several lords who have waited upon
the Prince Regent, who was reported
one day to be much iudispcsed, and who
was reported or the next day TO h. p, e.
pairing for journey to the Isle Of Wight.

/, 1t is supposed the Ports for grain, will
be shut on The 18th of November.
We have received a Liverpool price
current to Sept. Q. which shall be pub
lished tomorrow.
The quantity of aour imported into
Liverpool in one week from the United
States is $3.50 barrels and the number
OF bags cotton from the U. States this
year ending Sept'l, are l4s,ss4.
1t is a curious circumstance that the
arrival Of Mr, VAN,IrTARr, in Dublin.
should have been marked by an official
blunder, attended with very serious con
sequences. The late order prohibiting
the impo ta,ien of American flour, III the
lace Of an act Of parliament, by which
t.timpnrtston is secured until the I4th
Of November next, "has been," says
The Wssky Frseman's Journal, the
.suse of much mischief. Not believing
it possible that such extraordinary ignor.
ance could osye existed in the quarters
which ought to have been best informed
upon the subject, the dealers in feur i'm
mediately made immense purchases, and
at a great advance. These persons can.
not accuse themselves Of ra'hness or pre-
cipitation, for the prohibition was ar
ncunced in such due form as could leave
no doubt Of its validity on the mind Of any
man not acquainted with The particular
act Of parliament, which renders it nuga-
