We have the pleasure to announce the arrival of a very valuable fleet from China, con- 
“sisting of the following vessels .—The Hope, Coutts, Alfred, Taunton Castle, Earl Camden, 
and Woodford. Their cargoes consist of 105 Chests, 600 Half Chests, and 1,800 Quarter 
Chests, Bohea Tea; 17,438 Chests best Bohea Tea; 25,699 Chests Congou; 2,452 Chests

519 Chests Raw Silk, weight 51,609 lbs.; 102,750 Pieces Nankeen Cloth, 
A very large flcet is also arrived from the Leeward Islands, loaded with Rum, Sugar, Cof- 
fee, and Cotton. he first articles are come toa very dull market, but the Cotton has ar- 
rived to a very great market indeed, when we can say that Brazil Cotton has advanced full 
9d.per lb. within a few days past, owing to the great orders now executing at Manchester, of 
all kinds of manufactured Cotton goods for the Brazils; and 3s. 6d. per Ib. is asked for fine 
Brazil Wool, notwithstanding that there isa ficet of thirteen vessels just now arrived from 
South America, and has on board upwards of 12,000 bags of Cotton. Birmingham and Shef- 
field are full of orders for that country for all kinds of hardware, toys, and cutlery, &c, and 
We trust soon to have our accustomed commerce with Spain and Portugal. The latter country 
Aaving been plundered by the French, will stand in need of almost every necessary ofdife 
from this country ; and no doubt the’exports of Woollens, Manchester goods, Linen, and Pro- 
visions, will be immense to Portugal, particularly. 
All kind of Russian goods, as Tallow, Hemp, Flax, Tron, &c. have got to unheard of 
_ prices; but there is little doubt Tallow must fal) considerably, as the ships from Brazil, now 
discharging their cargoes, have a considerable quantity of Tallow from Rio on board. 
On Saturday, the 10th inst. 817 Pockets of zeq, and 30 pockets of old Hops were weighed 
in Worcester market: current prices 31. 5s. to 31. 15s. per cwt. A few prime samples sold at 
4). 4s. percwt. It is with pleasure we may say the Hop crops bave been wonderfully abun- 
Gant, and of a.very superior quality.
