rRoM a MERCANTILE LETTER.
Bofoteddr, Sept. i4.-Our intercourse
with the Spanish ports is becoming more
and more extensive, andare supported by
iile governments OF both countries. For
some months back, our trade With Spain
has been vlsibly favored by The Court Of
Madrid, SO that the grievances OF which
We had formerly TO complain, are now
quite at an end. This is ascribed, OIL tie
one hand, 10 the relations between our
Court and that of Madrid, which are at
present very friendly but, OH the other
hand, il may very we'll be placed to the
account OF The present Spanish Ministry,
who are endeaVoriug To restore the trade
OF the country to d stale of prosperity,
and are striving 10 free ii from the letters
IN which IL has hitherto been held by
England. Ii is considered with us as d
matter placed beyond all doubt, that the
former connection between England and
Spain Is growing more and more cold e.
very day, and that the Spanish Govern
ment has Convinced itself how dangerous
tho approximation 10 the British Trad
ing System has been to her, so that it at
present seeks. rather 10 attach itself to the
Continental System. The great object

lis Colonies, and the humiliation of the
openly favored by North America, and
secretly by England. Spain looks only
on those Powers as her true friends, that
have no interests in the erection OF free
States III South America, which is the
case with the European Continental Pow
erS. Hence she has made advances TO
Russia, drawn closer her Ties with France,
and given up as much as possible her
connection with England. That Spain
will receive any efficient support from
Russian and French fleets being sent TO
the Colonies, is mol, however, believed
With us, however there is not the small
est appearance of amy such thing. The
latest letters received here from Marti-
nique anu Guadalupe, confirm The ac-
counts that the Spanish troops in Vene-
zuela and Caracas have lately gained
great advantages, and that tie cause Of
the Insurgents there look very i'll, as has
for some time been the case in Mexico.
Only IN Buenos Ayres and Chill, the IN
surgents have the superiority, and will in
all probability long keep it, if the Royal
isis do not receive considerable reinforce
ments.
PETERSBURGA, Oct. 3.-fntelligence
has been received from General Yerma-
loft, the Russian Ambassador 10 Persia.
He las been treated with the greatest
distinction since he passed the Persian
frontiers. He found at several posi-sta-
ges for his use, white horses from the
Royal stud, which are ordinarily employ
ed only by the King and his family
Besides his general mission TO maintain
a good understanding between Russia
and Persia, he has also private imstructi-
ons, embracing objects relating 10 com
merce and the sciences. Several officers
will quit the Legation at Ispaian to pro-
coed TO the ports OF the Princes whose
states are situated between Persia aud
the British possessions in the East Indies
These States bound more or less to-
wards The North on Russia, in Asia,
and III is therefore wished 10 establish
commercial relations with them.
According 10 the last intelligence from
China, the Emperor having testified his
desire 10 have at his Court Ministers from
foreign powers to reside there constantly,
the Emperor Alexander has, it is said,
determined TO send Minister Plenipo-
tertiary TO Pekin, on account of the COM
mercial relations which increase every
year between the two Courts. NJ. de
LangSdoif is designated for The missi-
on, who is ut present Russian Consul at
Rio Janero, and who has been in China.
MADRID, Oct. 2i.--It is said that the
Russian squadron, on lis arrival in our
ports, will be employed to transport 10
one of our most interesting colonies Il

Prince Royal of Sweden 10 establish

Bells London Messenger of the Esd Novem-
Der, received at this Office, III commenting up
Oh the law now before the trench pariian. cnl
for the re-eSiablishment OF the arInx, says
- Upon this point the French court and peO-
pIe exhibit Il spectacle of much interest. The
King, i'm order to ConcIliate the public favor
or rather to Soothe the patience OF the people
has been compelled 10 take seeming part
against his allies: and in speech from his
throne, TO imply, or rather to assert, that they
are using their power with too little cOnSide
ration of the interests of France. The allied
Sovereigus will doubtless be too generous and
wise to give more consequence to this language
than its real value; they know the ciTcumsian
ces ia which tue King is placed, and they muSt
mak C the due allowances.
