IN possession of papers from London to the oath
llt. Tie most material intelligence TO THIS
country is, the Order in Council respecting the
trade with the West Indies, which, after the ist
Of December, is to be suspended. Our limits
and time TO day will not permit US to comment
on this measure, which, however, we DO not
consider as excluding the hope of establishing
some permanent treaty stipulations respecting
this trade.
The distress in the English manufacturing
districts is said to be diminishing. Bells Week
" Messenger of the goth August, in congratu-
la,ing the country on the safe housing of the
harvest, which is, it says, Gin excellent condi-
ton, and abundant in quality adds-"that &C
cording to all accounts, the extent OF distress
has greatly diminished within the last ten days,
and in the wooden factories, we believe ha, very
nearly ceased. In cottons, there is still vast
excess Of commodities beyond the current de-
mand,& if the factories still continue 10 work, il
can only be at heavy loss to the proprietors,
and with certainty of aggravating the evil
which they wish to alleviate In the silk ma
nufactures, the demand is reviving, and we may
expect that this fabric will come into general
use during the ensuing winter. Upon the whole
we must conclude with congralulating the
country upon an indisputable improvement
within the last fortnight
In Ireland, however, the distress is very Sc
we're; and pcsilence as well as famine seem TO
waste that land.
OF the Greeks, nothing positive is given.
The Portuguese constitutional government
appears to have shocked some Of the legitimates
Of that country, as well as of Spain Many per
~ have
ed into Spain, seeking refuge there against the
hydra of HderahSmt
The Pope's nuncio, the Spanish ambassador,
and the Russian charge d'affares, were not pre-
sent at the court of the Infanla Of Portugal,
when the oath to the charter was taken. They
attended, however, two days afterwards. The
Prussian minister was present, having first,
however, made sort OF protest.
Mr. Canning's visit to the continent, to which
the Times makes allusion, and which GU: pri-
vate letters inform US would certainly be made
about the middle of September, gives rise 10
much conjecture. The motive given out by
that gentleman himself, is, that he goes mere
ly TO recruit his health
The American squadron, under Commodore
Rodgers, is stated in the Paris Etoile of lth
August, to have been in the Dardanelles at the
last adv.ces.
The London Price Current Of I'D August,
thus notices the state of trade:-
The Improvement in commerce continues
steadily maintained. The accounts from all
the principal ports Of the continent continue IA
vorable as 10 the revival of trade. There is in
tense interest excited among the foreign mer-
chants on account of the rapid advance in spring
corn; wheat is fine crop-barley, middling-
oats, very short; beans and peas a complete
failure: it is therefore anticipated that the Mi
nisters acting upon their own responsibility re-
lalive to the admission obtained Of introducing
100000 qrs. foreign corn, will Immediately is
sue an order in Council granting the privilege
of importing foreign corn. 1t would give
great impulse TO the trade Of the country

Al the Court al St. James's, the 9th of July, |
1926: present, the Kings Most Excellent Ma
jesty in Council.
Whereas by an act, passed the sixth year of
the reign of his present Majesty, entitled Gan
Act to regulate the trade of the British posses
sions abroad after reciting, that "by the law
Of navigation, foreign ships permitted to
import into any of the British possessions "a
broad, from the countries to which they belong,
goods the produce of those countries, and to
export goods from such possessions TO be car
ried to any foreign country whatever" anc
lhat"i is expedient that such permission should
be subject to certain conditions" it IS enacted,
shat the privileges thereby granted to foreign
ships shall be limited to the ships of those coun-
tries which, having colonial possessions, shall
grant the like privilege Of trading with those
possessions to British ships; or which, not hav
ing colonial possessions, shall place the COM
merce and navigation of this country, and Gifts
abroad, upon the footing Of the
most favored nation, unless His Majesty by
his order in Council shall, in any case, deem
it expedient to grant the whole any of
such privileges to the ships of any foreign
although the conditions azores aid
shall not in all respects be fulfilled by such for
eign country" and whereas, the conditions men
Toned and referred to in the said Act of Parli-
ament, have not in all respects been fulfilled by
he Government OF the United States OF Ameri-
