A letter dated the gath of April says the IN
sOsciors Of Baltimore have not been Sufficiently
particular during the last year. The ship Chi
n, Of Salem, has been obliged to receive back
norton of her ilour, and on considerable
,art Of her sales, the captain was Obliged to
make an allowance of three dollars each barrel,

mond -four has generally proved good; and that
the cargo of the brig Frederick, consisting OF
.akrandria -four is highly approved Of. The Ere
derrick sailed from Lima on the lst OF April,
for Guayaquil, having sold her cargo.
Extract of letter from young Baltimorean, to the
Editor, dated
"CaHqo, oath of .4py1L, lS26.--The times are
exceedingly duh, and -four has become mere
drug. have this day made some purchases at
much lowerrat than Icould have effected in
Baltimore, and ! feel convinced that several
houses must sink money this year on their
shipments to this coast. You viii be astonish-
ed to hear the great price sugar is at here, al
though situate in the very valley where it grows.
II is now from thirty to forty dollars per quin-
raj. or eight or ten dollars the arobe. --,
of your port, is making great voyage, having
discharged part Of his -four on the other side,
and taken in sugar, which just comes In play
at The high rates; and the Yankees call him
lucky fellow.
81 returned TO this place from Qriea, after
having performed my voyage in twenty-nine
days, and saw nothing there that could give
any encouragement to capitalists--the port OF
entry is TO be changed shortly from Quilea, TO
a place called Hay, little above, say about ten
or twelve leagues, and much better anchorage
than the old port
Extract ola letter received from Lima at Philadelphia
by the ship Georgia Packet, Irvine, lO4 days from
Lima.
Lama, April 26---Within the last four months
have arrived large quantities of German linens,
French and China silks, wax, Irish and English
manufactures, together with abundant supplies
ofhour, and provisions of all kinds.
German linens will not now command cost
and charges.
Irish linens, and English cottons, and Scotch
goods, have been introduced in large parcels;
Irish linens and English cottons hardly COM
mand cost, and Scotch muslins and prints will
not sell for more than two thirds Of their origi.
nal cost and charges.
Flour, the quantity in market $4,000 barrels,
besides which we have near 1000 fanegas oil
Chill wheat, equal to To- 900 bbls. Of -four.
The last sales of -four of good quality were
sold at 81, that which was a little dark at So
per barrel, on board We do not think our flour
market will ever go higher than SIS per bbl
on board for American -four, unless the crops
In Chill fail. The cropof wheat in Chill is said
TO be abundant, and the quality good.
We are apprehensive' that this government
will shortly reduce the duties on Chill wheat
without reducing il on -four in proportion, for
the encouraging the grist mills of this city. We
would therefore recommend no one vessel to
bring more than one thousand barrels OF Hour;
this quantity can most always be readily sold.
Provisions are very abundant, OF very slow
sale at costs and charges.
Liquors, say brandy rum and gin, will not
command cost, such is their abundance.
The consumption of American brown shirt
ings of so to 81 inches wide is fast increasing
our last sales were Ii rls per yard, equal to IL
cents per yard on board.
We have no doubt but the consumption OF
those goods is now double that of any former
year. The English agents are now busy in
sending to England, samples of our goods for
the purpose Of having them initiated, but we
think the experiment will prove iruitless and
the result be the same ss at Buenos Ayres.
Butter, yellow, LARD, yellow soap in boxes OF
II pound, and Spermaceti candles, are articles
oisrea' consumption, and always find purcha-
sers.
We learn from Capt Pryce, of the brig Ora
co, from Lisbon, says the New-York Gazette oa
Yesterday, that the British frigate Diamond,
oF Charles Stewart, had arrived, with despatch
es from the Emperor of Brazils, and the Con
s'ltution, which were at first well received
ihreeorfour days after, several re sinients, with
their officers, mutinied, being opposed to the
