NortH AMERICA.—No change for the better has taken place in the commercial regula- 
tions of the North American government-since our Jast. The non intercourse act has been 
confirmed ; but still the clandestine trade is successfully carried on. ‘allow is dull of sale

Sourn America.—It has frequently been represented to government, by the merchants, 
that Great Britain might derive infinite benefit, by permitting a fiee exportation of cotton. A 
mecting lately took place between the Board of ‘[rade and a deputation from the merchants 
trading to the Brasils, on this subject, when government came to the determination of 
granting licences for the free, exportation of it to all ports and places aot declared in a state of 
blockade; under this regulation the licences will extend tothe narth of the Ems, The abo- 
lition of those restrictions laid upon trade by the government of Buenos Ayres, has had a sea- 
sible effect upon British manufactures ; and, we are happy to learn, that many regular traders 
have given orders to the manufacturers for assortments of goods suited to the market. We 
sincerely bope, that crude and blind speculation will mot again deprive the South American 
merchant of his harvest. Buenos Ayres tallow has fullen in price, it now fetches trom 31. 13s.
