At home, the tumults raised by the mob, in order to terrify the legislature against the obnoxious corn bill, the corn bill itself with all its odium, are forgotten. The populace foresee that trade will be stopped, by renewed war; what will rioting avail? Orders for goods are countermanded, in every branch of business. The hopes which peace had inspired are nipped in the bud. The public stocks are down to 563. for the three per cents; and the holders of omnium would sell, if they could, at any discount under 11 or 12.

STATE OF TRADE.

Lloyd's Coffee-House, March 20, 1815. That the merchant who supplies all the world with commodities valuable and useful, should maintain his tranquillity, and carry on his business without disturbance, when all the world around him is disturbed, is absolutely impossible. The value of every thing in which he deals, fluctuates with events. His money is worth more or less: his commodities are worth more or less: his credits are more or less certain of payment, according to the ups and downs of kingdoms and states with which he has intercourse. The recent burst of politics, therefore, by which the renewal of hostilities in the utmost bitterness of spirit is brought before the eyes of every, man, strongly affects the merchant; the probable demand or prohibition of the commodities in which he deals; the facility, or difficulty of conveying them; the cost of transit, with a thousand other particulars,,fill the merchant's bosom with anxiety.

by the expected sanction to the Corn Bill, by the Prince Regent. The tumults which have disgraced town and country on this subject will be forgotten, amid the still graeter agitations of private property that will attend the renewal of war:--while the war will naturally fix a price on corn, independent of the operation of this new statute.

To enable the reader to form some notion of the relative price of the quartern loaf as governed by the averages, we subjoin the following:

The ratification of Peace with America, -now a most fortunate circumstance for both countries has caused a decline in the prices of cotton, tobacco, and all other articles imported from the United States, which would have been extremely extensive and rapid, had not the stocks on hand of those articles been so greatly diminished by continued consumption without supply, that those who are in the habit of using them cannot wait for fresh importation. On the other hand, the late events in France, the progress of Buonaparte inclusive:— the heart of that country, with the certainty of his reaching Paris without opposition, have raised the price of French goods of every description, because the prospect of supply from that country is rendered extremely obscure. Brandy is raised: so is whatever is extensively in demand in time of war: grain-provisions-saltpetre -and money. Money is, in fact, in a state of requisition at present, beyond what is common. Gold is raised in price: Napo- 1815.3165 840 133 724 739 545 6

visions are expected to rise: there is therefore no answer to those who demand them: brandy and rum have been subject to much speculation; all expecting their value to increase: hemp, flax, tallow, have experienced a small rise; but it has not been supported with spirit. Tea has fetched less money, on the whole, say 2d. per lb.

COFFEE has been very heavy little sold, of the good, because it did not realize price enough of the indifferent, or bad, because speculation declined the subject.

Sugars change and fluctuate with the feelings of the holders. There has been no general briskness. The grocers, indeed, have bought for home consumption; but all other purchasers looked rather shy and modest at the sales.

COTTON felt the peace with America more than any thing else. The probability of vessels arriving, the looking forward to supplies from various quarters the want of money included, have rendered this article of uncertain demand. The manufacturers must buy: their exhausted stocks must be replenished: particular kinds, therefore, only in request, and others sometimes much enquired after, for the moment absolutely overlooked.

In fact, almost every thing has been overlooked, for several days past. What is the news of the morning? and What is the news of the evening? has been much of the employment of merchants, as well as of others, and not without cause. The suddenness of events has absorbed all the time and disposition that might have been employed in consideration; and enquiry of others, as to facts, and inferences, has taken place of that promptitude at doing business, which distinguished the merchant from the mere pretender to com

AGRICULTURAL REPORT.

Esser. The wheat plants which have all along made such a fine appearance, now turn somewhat yellow, for want of dry weather. The planting of beans and peas, is quite compleat; and in some places these plants begin to make their appearance. But little spring corn on the strong lands is already sown. Since our last we have complaints of the rot among the breeding sheep, consequently a loss in the lambs. Horses of all kinds are cheaper. Store pigs are lower in price, but the spring ones very dear. Turnips, from the mildness of the season, continue very plentiful.
