q TTj f0rtlc ,c6alc.-The New York
Mercantile of Friday has the following
paragraph:
" There is a rumour. 1--WE know not on
what au'hority,) that preparations are
making for az arrangement with Great
/ Britain on basis ofex.en3ed commercial
reciprocity; and that a tariff on imports
will be agreed upon between that Govern
ment and the United States, which VIII
meet the appreciation Of both. 1t IS said
the British Minister at Washington ap
proves ofthe project, and that specai
mission to England Is on foot, for the pur
pose of completing the arrangements"
From the New York Commercial we
extract the following on the same subject :
- Suppose. for instance, that Mr. NJ
Lane. our newly appointed Minister,
should 90 out armed with instructions TO
Inegociate away the Tariff Such a project,
we have reason to know, has been under
delberation by the Executive; and legal
advice, as we have reason 10 believe, has
been taken, as TO the extent to which the
treaty making power will warrant the exc
cutive in negotiating away the acts OF Con
rress. The British Minister. we are also
gwen to understand, has been consulted
as 20 the probable disposition Of his GOV
ernmcnt to relax their corn laws in favor
of the United States, upon condition that
all descriptions of their manufactures shall
be admitted into the ports of The United
States. under moderate Uniform duty, to
be reciprocal between the two nations
His answer was favorable; but whether
Mr.. M'Laue will finally 20 out with such
instructions, We cannot tell. Certain 1t Is,
that the project has been seriously enter.
tanned; and it is therefore possible, that
those who suffer from the operation of the
Tariff, ayyet fad relief without waiting
for The tardy and doubtful process Of legis
lation.'
