! value of the goods exported from Russia by
these vessels was s 2,o00,0o0, of merclan-
die imported hy ,le same s 800, OGO. The
exports consisted principally ofiron, hemp,
cordage, sail cloth, rayens-duclS, sheetings,
diapers, quilts, ta!ioie candles and feathers
The imports were sugar, coffee, indigo, cot
ton, rice, tobacco, querciiron bark, pepper,
ginger, raisins, spirits, oil, and nankeens.
Russia sends MS nothing but the produce
OF her own industry, to pay for which we
visit Asia in pursuit of nankeens, and the
West Indies in search of tropical fruits
Eighty six bales Of cotton, 325 tons OF Rice,
SaS tons fquercitron bark, % tons oftobac-
CO, sI88 gallons ofspirits, and 16S,50O gal
Ions oil, Were most ofthe articles OF the
produce of our own soil and industry which
we sold last year al St. Petersburg, and after
all our Recommendations, there is still in this
branch of trade a balance against us ; al
though the aggregate of imports from all
countries, made by Russia Mt ST. Petersburg,
had been stated by official authority to "a
mount to s S3,000,000, and the exports TO
only Sel,000,000.
The American tonnage was less than one
eleventh part of the whole tonnage employ
ed in the trade to st. Petersburg, while the
exports in American vessels were, of Iron,
more than one half-of Hemp, nearly one
sxth-of Cordage, more than one third-of
SAL Cloth, Ravens Duck, Sheetings and Di-
apers, nearly seven tenths-of Feathers, five
el5hths of the whole quantities of those arti-
Giles exported.
These facts prove that no part of the COM
plants made by Russia of the unprofitable-
ness other trade during the past year, can
apply to that portion of it which has been
prosecuted by America
The following intelligence of the Markets
ut ST Barts, and the accounts of the depre-
dations upon American and other vessels,
together with the article relating to the affairs
of South-America, are furnished by Capt.
Rowland, of the schr. Lareine:
Markets are extremely dull for all kinds of
American produce, except White Pine Lum-
Der and Flour; the former has been sold for
$50 per NJ. payable in produce, and the lat

Sales
The Americans, doing business at St. Barts,
complain of considerable annoyance lately by
French men of war upon American vessels.
They are represented as lowering around
the coast attempting TO run into all the YES
sells they fall in with. Several Americans
had been recently fired into, and Others had
been run a-Goul Of, to the great risk of losing
their lives and property.-A wish prevailed
among the American merchants, generally,
at St. Barts, that their Government would
station sloop of war IN that quarter to pro-
tect their commerce and citizens from iniu-
ry and insult by any vessel, under whatever
flag she might sail.
heship Amphion, Smith, in 45 days from
Buenos Ayres, arrived at St. Barts Just as the
Lareine sailed.-Captain Smith stated, that
previous to his sailing, accounts hadreached
Buenos Ayres, that Gen. .4Jtigas was a pri-
soner at Paraguay !; and that Gen. Ramare.
had charge of his army, and was on his way
to Buenos Ayres.-Gen. RodricGs had been
elected Governor or President for three
years, but the belief was general that he
would not remain in Office longer than three
months. He was fitting out a fleet of thr-
teen sail, and organising his troops, expect
ing daily TO move up the river to defend the
coast against RGmirez.
