West Inp1es.—We have the satisfaction to announce the safe arrival oF a large fleet - 
from the Islands. The cargoes do not come to the best of markets, but if the old proverb be 
true, that ** when things come to the worst, they must mend,” the hoiders of West India 
goods may indulge in hope. The raw sugar market is unusually flat at London. “At Liver- 
- pool, however, good and fine sugars are in regular enquiry, -and a few lots of very fine qua- » 
lity have lately gone off there at improved prices. Qur prices are, for Antigua, 31. i4s. to 
- 4 guineas; Barbadoes and Tobago, Sl. 15s. to 4 guineas. Dominica, Montserrat, and St.

As. 7d. to 1s. 103d. per 1b. 
Nort America.—Our trade with this-part of the globe i is: pretty steady ; and, as the 
following quotations will evince, American commodities are well esteemed in the English 
markets : Georgia cotton brings from 1s. 2d. to 2s.;, New Orleans ditto, 1s. 3d. to 1s. 6d. ;

Soutn AmMErRica,—The chief ports of South America are still glutted wah British maz 
nufactured goods, and the only articles which find any sale in this part of the world are Irish 
provisions of every description. Under a commercial regulation adopted by the Junta of 
Cadiz, it is now permitted toexport thence to South America silk and cotton manufactures _ 
in Spanish vessels, and for Spanish account. Before, silk could only be exported, if of fo- 
reign produce, with a certain proportion of the native silks; and cottons were wholly prohi- 
bited. The following are our market prices of South American goods*: Buenos Ayres hides, 
Gd. to ae Guatimala indigo, 8s. 6d. to 16s. ; Carraceus ditto, 8s. to 15s. 9d. 5 garbled co- 
chineal,; 1], 14s. to 11. 18s.5 Brazil roll tobacco, Wea ta @d.; ditto leaf, Sd, ‘to 6d.3 and 
Brazil Lge 9s. 23d, to Ys. 6 per lb. 
Battic:—-There ave been considerable arrivals from this sea in several of our ports, par- 
ticularly that of London. The cargoes of the vessels principaliy consisted of corn, of which 
there is now a large quantity in the market. By the letcers which the vessels brought home, 
-we learn that the ships detained in the ports of Prussia, on suspicion of berng laden with 
English property, are likely to be released upon paying 50 per cent. We understand that 
government intends blockading the Baltic, and that orders to that effect have actually been 
sent out to the admiral commanding on the station; we tryst that this report is not correct, 
as the adoption of such g measure would put many fair traders to inSnite inconvenience. 
France.—In our last report we specified the terms upon which the French government 
was inclined’to admit of a commercial intercourse between the two nations 3 we have now 
tc state the conditions required by our lords of the council before they will grant licexces to 
trade with France: ‘All vessels not bearing the flag of Prance, may take exportable 
gouds, cotton excepted, from Great Britain tothat country; and in return shall be allowed 
to bring back grain, meal, flour, burr-siones, secds, and olive oil. A vessel is allowed to 
ering one-third of ber cargo in wine, tee she suall have taken from this country British 
manufactured
