616 Monthly Comimercial Report. [July 1, 
Nortr America.—A considerable time has elapsed since we felt such real pleasure in 
touching upon this head of our report, as we do at the present jmoment. Every man who 
wishes well to the consmercial interests of the nation, and whose heart inclines to favour the 
gause of humanity, must surely rejoice on being told that the Jate alarming differences which 
existed between England and the United States, have at length been brought to an amicable 
termination; and that the North American legislature, unsolicited by our ministry, have 
wisely abolished that non-intercouse act, which has too long militated against the well-being 
of both countries. We cannot, indeed, find language sufficiently strong to express the satis- 
faction we experience in stating that the trade between North America and Great Britain is 
ence more thrown opem to enterprizing merchants on either side of the Atlantic. ‘That it 
may long continue to flow in the channel of tranquility, uninterrupted by the foul gales of 
petty animosity, is our most fervent prayer! It is calculated, that within one month after 
the removal of the restrictions on American commerce, upwards of one thousand vessels will 
leave the United States for British ports, laden with wheat, flour, cotton, tobacco, &t. We 
trust that in our next it will be our pleasing duty to state that the manufacturers of the 
United Kingdom feel the genial influence of this happy state of things. ‘The intelligence 
from North America has caused the holders of produce to come forward once more, and not~ 
withstamding the expectation of fresh impértations, the demand for the commodities is become 
pretty brisk already. The demand for fresh pot-ashes is particularly animated. Our market 
prices are from 21. 10s. to 31. 19s. Pearl are also much enquired for; they fetch from 21. 14s. 
to 31. 10s. per cwt. ‘The prices of other articles of American praduce are as follows: Mary- 
Hand tobacco, 5d. to 16d.; Virginia ditto, 6d. to 84d. ; Georgia cottun-wool, 1s. 4d, to 
gs. 6d. per lb. Tar, 11. 143. to 41. 17s. per barrel. “Pitch, from eon to 13s. 6d. per cwt.

Wil. "10s. to 151. 10s. per last. Wax, 151. 15s. to 141. 10s. pér cwt. ‘Turpentine, 265. to 
30s. per cwt. Linseed, 41. 5s. to 41. 10s. per quarter. Carolina rice, 11. 6s, to 11. 10s, and 
Fomir, 10s. to 15s. per cwt. ae 
SouTH AMERica.—Letters from Buenos Ayres of a recent date state that nearly 160 
vessels were in the river Plate, which were prohibited from unlading in consequence of not 
being provided with licenses from the mother country. From what we can gather by the 
reports of the captains and supercargoes lately returned thence, it were perhaps just as well 
that the 160 vessels returned home, or carried their gargoes to some other market; for every 
account states that Spanish America is perfectly glutted with British merchandize. Weare 
happy to learn that a treaty of conimerce has been arranged with the ministers of the Prince 
Regent at Rio Janeiro. An abstract of this treaty shall appear so soon as it reaches ouf 
hands. It is also known that @ commercial treaty is at present negociating between Rufiia 
and the Prince Regent. Our English traders already haik this negqciation as the prognostic 
of a renewal of our intercourse with Russia by an indirect channel of communication. These 
has no material alteration taken place in the prices of South American commodities since our 
last Report. Buenos Ayres tallow fetches from 31. 10s. to 3l. 11s. per cwt. ; ditto hides, from 
7Ad.tois. perlb. Brazil indigo, 2s. 6d. to 5s. per}b.3 ditto rice, 11. 5s, to 11. 8s. per cwt.

Turxery.—The black sea is at length opened to the English trade; an event which is 
likely to prove of very great commercial advantege to us. Box-wood is one of the most 
sajeable among the Turkish articles, it fetches from 15]. to 201 per ton. Smyrna cottone 
yarn, 2s, 10d. to 4s. Jd. per lb. Rhubarb, 143. to a guineas opium, 41. 10s. to 32s. 6d. pez

~Spain.—The Spanish consul has issued a notice to all persons trading to the Spanish 
colonies, setting forth, that as atsempts have lately been made to introduce spies and emissaries 
into those estates no Spaniard or foreigner shall be suffered to land therein, without 
presenting authentic documents and passports, granted by the legitimate authorities resident 
there. The supply of Spanish commodities in our markets is tolerably abundant, and the 
prices which they bear are certainly fair. Jordan almonds fetch from 191. to 201,10s.; Va- 
lentia, from: 5 guineas to 51, 153. ; and bitter, from 41, 15s, to 41. 18s. percwt. Carthagena

GERMANY.~We learn that the Frankfort fair, which is just terminated, exhibited as fine 
a show of Briti:h manufactured goods, as at any period during our interrupted Intercourse with 
the continent ot Europe. The articies, generally speaking, sold well. The principal pur- 
chasers were Dutchmen. Swiss coitons and muslins were in greatdemand. Same houses at 
Neufchatel did business to the amount of six millions of florins.
