jIliki- whatever existed HiM-ng ilie citizens: agriculture had
liccninc iircltcli'd. By advices from the Indigo districts
the crop t.f this article would fail short two thirds of an
average crop. The whole export of the Republic, is com
puted at GXOQO pounds for the present year. The rcvoht* !
lions were rapidly destiny tug the cattle. Ilnciendos and j
l.irles, which had hitherto formed an iinportaut item of ex- '

Jiireigners who have rnl- ied into mining speculations, find !
no prospect of realising their Holden Driam*, and many )
who came to (lie country in affluence, were nmv reduced j

by Ihe Florida, C'apt. Tinklirm.
American totarAx. Saturday, April M.—Four and
ball per Cents, fives, 90. Bank Stock, not
tjunled.
Notiiing cert tin was known in regard to Ihe forma
tion of a new ministry, but the Times of the KJtli,
states that the following arrangements are in contem
plation:—
Sir Joint Copely, to he Lord Chancellor.
Lord Granville, Forego Secretary.
Mr. Robinson, (with a Peetage,) Colonial Secre
tary.
Mr. Huskisson, Home Secretary, (this not cer
tain.)
Marquis of Ar.glesea, Master of the Ordnance.
Lord Bexley is allot.-.'d to comeback It* the Ca
1 he new tillo of .Mr. Robinson, is Lcnl Strnlhcarn.
The iMarquis of Londonderry resigned his Fmbnssy
to \ icnna on healing of Mr. Canning’s appointment.
It i' rumourtJ that liie Marquis lias written nn inso
lent letter to the King. <>;hcr resignations have'
taken place—among these, it is reported, the Altor- j
nev General.
Goo paper says it is believed the Duke of Cambridge
will he appointed Commander in chief. Another
states that the Marquis of Anglesea has been offered the
post.
it i* sain that his Majesty received the resignation
ol the secedois with a tone and manner so decisive,
that more than one repented he had not doubled before
lendenug so fatal nn otibr. Lord Uexley ia said to
have recalled his, and .Mr. Peel, it was rumored, would
probably be open to expi mini: :in ■
The King accoiding to our be-'advices, appears to
have been justly indignant at (he inoral conspiracy
among those he trusted, and to have resolutely resolved
timt no difficulty’ should niako him again take to his
confidence men, who, from petsonal hate to a highly
gifted individual, could take steps by which the govern
ment of the country, himself and his really steadfast
savants were embarrassed, and the affairs of the king
dom thrown into confusion. Farther, as regards the
list of Mr. I’arming, nothing is yet known; buTtho pub
lic mind is decidedly in favor ot the measures adopted
by i he sovereign
VVe regret, says the Times, to hear that a negotiation j
which had been commenced by Mr Canning with Loid I
Lan-down, has broken off, on the impossibility of eman
cipation being made a cabinet question against a de- i
clarcd Royal wish; and further that Ireland is still to;
reap a tew »t the comforts of a divided Government, i
If, however, Mr Plunkett be immediately named Lord >
c bancellor of that country, oue positive goad will have '
keen fixcii beyc, & the reach of fortune.
The same paper says, J-iord ftjannera is reported t<> ■
Ixavo sent iri Ins resignation some sliort tunc ago—more j
lately still has the Right Ili um able Secretary made I
the same amende to Ireland. Now, if Mr. Canning be *
anxious to satisfy (be Irish nation that their good Tor
tune is not a dreatn—that they have really shaken oil'
the Orange nightmare—that law between rich and poor
. —between Protestant and Catholic—is never again to
become a mercenary and remorseless a!!v of the stroir*-'
; against the weak, the Minister will in the verv liist
Gazette announce the nppoinment of a new Lord
( bancellor, mid of u .Secretary in whose disposition to
goiem tail ly, a suspicious and initable, because an
id useu people, may confide* Although a change m
the person of the Lord Lieutenant cannot be requir
ed on similar grounds to those which have rendered !
Mr Goulhuni’n dismissal unavoidable, it is we are j
tolJ. reported, and we should not be sorry to find J
ii true, that the Marquis Wellesley will be recal. !
led from Ireland, and that Laid Cai lisle will succeed '
him. )
' —ii jp,n,ir3 uui n:e warehousing ol
corn is to be permitted under the new Act, and "bat
fnc diil^ is to be levied according to tbe price in the
borne market, not at ihe dale of importation, but at
tbe timo when tbe corn is taken o;it tor consumption.
Tins arrangement was .strongly objected to by the agri
culuralists but it was justly observed by tbe Chancel
lor of tbe Exchequer, f?iut if a different rule were
adopted, the effect would be, to trasfer the freighting
and warehousing to the I hitch, i0 whose bands the |
corn would still lie within one or two days sail of our
own market. A clause was proposed by Mr. Grant,
and agreed to,giving (be Privy Council the privilege!
of prohibiting die tmpcrlnfiun of grain from foreign .
countries, which impose heavier duties on our shipping '
than the ships »f the countries in question are subject to
in British ports, rbi-, wo imagine, was meant as a
boon to tbe shipping interest.
A lelter from Paris states that Spain still persists in
her folly with regard to projects for invading South
America, and it is averted that the Envoy Extraordi-i
nary lias been commanded to make known to the Bri !
fisli and French governments that it is the intention of
the cabinet of Madrid to send an expedition against
Mexico, to establish the infant Francisco de Paulas as
sovereign. It was justly doubled whether the English
ami French cabinets would concur in the measure.
llrs now doubted whether the PorStr'iieso chiefs
have ever been sent to the frontier, and u is certain
they had not passed if on the 3rd inslant. It is even
repm ted tint Silvana and Chaves have re-entered
Portugal, but by different routes, and if tbe accounts I
arc (a be believed, a new attempt will be made on A
lenlejo. j

SIooitij storm and darkness, where ti er were, and the
pilot supposing that the vessel was on some uninhabi
ted island or shoal which the tide would cover, did not
land immediately. The tide rose, and the wind which
blew so violently that it has thrown do.vn mam
fence*, trees and buildings in this neighborhood, soon
drove the huge waves over the vessel, giving it repea
tedly heavy shocks. I saw them cut away in the
morning both the masts, one after the other; and when
this tailed to relieve the vessel by lightening her, the
people in confusion and dismay hurried to the end ot
the bowsprit, from which they precipitated themselves
into the boats, which were of course unable to contain
so laige a number. iWost of them had been exposed
to the w hole force of l ne waves, and they were benum

and lior eie* . Condition. Those who were left on boaid
were only landed on the 1st about three o'clock in the
a 'ie:noon. Of these some were dead and others dy

ot the latter. i hese will be inferred to*morrow. At
another house there arc seven other bodies. It is i:u

for the British West India Colonies is ready to open,
at least for the period during which the exclusive sys

er the British or our government expected that the
loss which the islands have sustained by bring depri
ved of our tradp, would be made up by that of Germa
ny; and we are somewh it mistalrcn if .iu Canadas, New
Brunswick and Nova ticotia will relish the idea of be
ing- cut out of their promised advantages, by having
their friends on the continent avail themselves of the
benefits which our near neighbours intended to real
ize for themselves. The latter must devoutly hope
that (he King of the Netherlands msv continue his a/
key or keeping the navigation of the Rhine closed* so
as to permit the possibility on the part of the Germans,
of their carrying on this commerce with the British
colonies.
“We have received the Allgemcine ZciUing to the

proceeds to show that the measures adopted by our ro
verniTioiit, to unshackle commerce, will benefit the
nations of the continent; and the change in mn colo
nial sy stem, and the course taken with rerprcl to the
United States, the writer calculates, will benefit the
North of Germany, whose traders can supply, it h sta
ted, almost all (lie articles, which till omv mircolonics
have been in the habit of taking from the Americans,
amounting annually to twelve millions of dollais.—The
west and south of Germany, it is added, would partici
pate in the benefits above set forth, were the naviga
lionofthe Rhincfrce. This, however, is pi evented Vor
the present, by the policy of 'lie Netherlands, which
is here stigmatised as oppressive and disgraceful.”

?« e;v Ou'.ba.ns, Ap»*il I I.—In consequence of iho
dcpicciation in the price; of cotton, ari-iog principally
from f lie augment.• i ion rfthe quantity produced, the
- planters in Georgia and Uaroliua are beginning toe:;
! ort themselves to find some other staple on which to
i empioy then iaml and laborers. 'l’he mulberry tier
i and the vine have presented themselves first as objects
j whi-'h will ho likely to reward their industry. Silk, in
no inconsiderable quantities, is already produced in
j some parts of the United States, and that not in climates
j or from soils so congenial to the silk worm as might he
j found in (tie Souiheru States, it compelled hy uecos—
sity, wo doubt not that the planters in the cotton region
would r. - cr the cultivation of the mulberry an easy
and profitable substitute fur (he article to which ibov
! now almost exclusively devote their attention.
I l Item is still less doubt respecting (ho vine. It is a
| plant which mat he naturalised in almost any soil, and
| may he made to iT mrish in almost anv climate. It is
I believed, by those* who are well acquainted with its na
I tnre, and this opinion is in fact corroborated in si.rnn
!J^ffrepby actual experiment, that many parts of the
I ai“* *>••<*ihci'u States areas well adapted to its
| growth as any pm is of Europe. Influenced by these
i v;ews. seyeni worthy planters in Georgia and South
j Carolina have commence? (lie planting of vines on a
| large scale. We have uo doubt that they will be ulti
I maudv successful, although the want of skill and e\
porii - * inny nt first interpose difficulties and impedi
innnlH which will not be readily surmounted. The
I profits to he derirerf from a vineyard m successful o> «•
) ration, would lie immense. In the vine region- of
1 Europe, the cultivator is generally straightened for
room, by a dense population and the dearness of land:
In the United Stales this obstacle does r.ot exist,
while the duty on the imported article wi u!d operate
net only as a protection to the domestic product, bin
; as an enormous bounty.
