afew months back was at 30 per cent!’ Such are the changes caused by the efforts of our- 
brave countrymen. The trade, however, must take a considerable time to get into its. 
usual channel. 3 ; , 
Spain.—A dreadful hurricane took place here the beginning of the present month, 
when upwards of 150 sail of ships, chiefly lying in the bay at Cadiz, drove ovt tosea ; upwards - 
of forty sail were totally lost, and the remainder suffered considerable damage. Two of - 
their register ships had arrived from South America, bringing remittances in dollars to the 
amount of upwards of one million British sterling, as also considerable remittances in pro= 
duce to the Spanish merchants. 
West Inozres,—By the last mails, we are informed of the fleet’s arrival at the Leeward 
and Windward islands from Cork, with a plentiful supply of provisions of all kinds, of 
which the states were inthe greatest want of. The islands are amply supplied, and indeed 
overstocked with all kinds of British manufactured goods, and considerable remittances in 
produce were shipping for Great Britain, &c. &c. 
Soutn America.—The markets here begin to get rather more brisk than usual, for 
all our manufactured goods, and trade with the Spanish settlements, were brisk to a degree 
unknown hitherto. We however recommend our mercantile friends to be careful in not™ 
shipping off goods, (as hitherto) of inferior quality, the market already having been over 
stocked with large quantities of low-priced Manchester goods, for which no sale can 
be had, é

MARCH. 
Love’s pleasing ferment gently now begins 
To warm the flowing blood. 
N° weather could possibly have been more acceptable at this season of the year, than that 
which we have experienced during the course of the present month. The crops are all 
looking well. Nor have we yet had any of those furious gales which are usually expected 
about this time. There were strong gales from west-northwest on the 3d, and from west- 
soutii west onthe 6h, 7th, and 8th, and these were the only boisterous days we have had, 
The wind was westerly, or-nerth-west, from the 1st to the 5th, in the afternoon of which day 
it wassouth. Onthe 6th, 7th, and 8th, it was west-south-west ; on the 9ch north-east, and 
afterwards west, Ow the 12th it was easterly, and so continued till the 18ch, when it veered 
round
