about the end of last month, the differences between the two countries have been put in a 
train of settlement. Notwithstanding the vigilance of the American Government, four 
vessels are actually arrived at Liverpool, that rallying point of speculation, from the United 
States, within the last fortnight. This event, together with the expectation of further 
supplies in the same way, as well as by a circuitous route, has damped the spirit of mono- 
poly in articles of American produce. Pot and pearl-ashes are not much in demand. Pot- 
ashes fetch from 21. 12s. to 31. 6s. Pearl-ashes, from 31. to 70s. and upwards per cwt. The 
prices of Tar are uncertain. ‘The same may be said of Staves. American Pitch fetches 23s. 
percwt. Tobacco, of different qualities, from 9d. to 1s. 4d. per Ib. 
SoutnH AMERICA.——We have scarcely any thing to add to oar last wonth’s general obser- 
vations upon this part of the world. Shipments of linens, damasks, and large quantities of 
Irish calicoes, have taken place to Rio Janeiro. Pernambucco cotton fetches from 2s 6d. 
to Ys. 7d. Bahia, from 2s. 1d. to 2s. 2d. Maranham, from Qs. to 2s, 1d. and Para, 1s. 11d. 
to Qs. perlb. Buenos Ayres hides sell at prices from 6d. to 7d. per lb. those of Brasil from 
42d. to 5d. Jesuit’s bark, of sundry qualities, from 4s. to 8s. 9d. per 1b. Guatimala indigo, 
from 4s. 6d. to 10s. 6d. that of Carracca, from 5s. 3d. to 10s. 9d. and the Brasilian, from 
As. 6d. to 3s. 
BatTic.—The merchants declare that there never was so vast a trade carried on with so 
little loss as that to the Baltic has been during the present year. The number of vessels 
- that have passed through the Belt, under the protection of Admiral Dixon’s squadron alone, 
between the 25th of June and the 8th of November, amounts to 2210, not one of which 
has been captured by the enemy. Three convoys have sailed from this country for Sweden, 
since it was known here that the Swedish ports were to be shut against us on the 15th inst, 
Whether this singular circumstance results solely from a spirit of enterprize in our merchants, 
or from an understanding between the two governments, we know not: we incline to think 
the latter is the case. Several vessels are still loading in the River for the Swedish market. 
The prices of commodities furnished by the countries seated on the Baltic, have undergone 
very little alteration since our last. ; 
IRELAND.--At the late linen-market in Dublin, fine linens metan extremely dull sale. 
Coarse goods, particularly half-bleached yard-wides, and 7-8ths widths, in general aftorded 
good profits. Many of the coarse linens sold were for Spain, and some for the West Indies. 
Since the market, coarse linens have risen greatly. The following are the matket-prices 
of Irish provisions: —India Beef, 101. to 101. 5s. Mess, new ditto, from 71. 10s. to 7]. 12s. 
6d. per tierce. Pork, new mess, from 51. 15s, to 51. 17s. 6d. per barrel. Bacon, 41. to 
4 guineas percwt. Butter, Waterford, from 51. 6s. to 51. 8s. Cork, from 51. 8s. to 51. 10s.

NATURALIST’S MON T HLY REPORT. 
NOVEMBER.—Freexing Month. 
Ah, how soon 
‘The shades of twilight follow hazy noon 
Short’ning the busy day. 
We have had, during the present month, much finer and more open weather than is usual 
at this late season of the year, which can only be accounted for by the remarkably cold 
and rainy months of the summer. From the ist.to the 4th, the wind was north-east; it was 
then somewhat westerly for two days, and afterwards, till the 16th, was, for the most part, 
east and north-east. Fromthe 17th to the 21st it again became westerly. It was trom 
the 249d to the 26th north-west, oa the 27th east, on the 28th and 29th north, and on the 
3oth west. There were fresh gales on seventeen out of the thirty days, but no heavy storms. 
The ist of November wasa dark and cloudy day, as were alsothe 9th, 12th, and 30th. In 
the night of the 16th we had a’ hard frost; and again in the night of the 18th, he latter 
frost cuntinued till the Qist. Hitherto we have had no snow.
