Boston, May 5.
LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
The Mary Catherine, at this port,
«*Ued from Liverpool April 8th. The
r0 -pectof war on the Continent re
joined as before. The British stocks
„ere at 704 on the 4th.
parliament adjourned on the od to
the 17th of April. On the 1st, leave
criven to Mr. Robinson, President
of the Board of Trade, to introduce
-mu for regulating the intercourse be
tween the British West India Colonies
d other parts of the world. The fea
tures of the proposed bills, it is said,
were to increase the intercourse of the
colonies with foreign nations, and to
rut them upon a footing as favorable
Lthe new independent colonies of oth
er powers. The commerce to be carried
on in British or foreign ships, those
ships being described as ships built in
the country and navigated according to
the laws of that country. In this way,
exports from the colonies and imports
to them from the continent and Islands
of America, would be carried on in fo
reign and British ships. If any differ
ence were attempted to be made, the
only consequence would be that foreign
powers would make the same difference
with respect to British ships.
The agricultural committee of the house
of commons made aD extended report on
the 1st of April, upon the measures to be
adopted affecting the distress of the coun
try. They recommend, that the. farmer
should be encouraged to warehouse his
grain, and that while the average price of
wheat should be under 60s. the govern
ment should advance two thirds of its va
lue, upon all corn so warehoused, the loan
advanced bearing an interest of 3 pr cent.
The period of deposit to be 12 months.
There are 897,136 quarters of foreign
grain now under the king’s lock, which
they recommend should be permitted to
be ground and exported for sale, so as to
relieve the home market. The committee
disapprove altogether the plan ot affoidiog
relief by granting loans to parishes on the
security of parish rates. They maintain
that restriction on importation of corn
ought to continue until the average price
of wheat should amount to eighty shillings,
and they recommend some modification
as to duties in case of importation.
TURKEY AND RUSSIA.
A letter from St, Petersburg dated March
l C—contained in the Globe of April 3, ob
serves, the question of war or peace^de
[ pends upon the uegociation of M. de 1 at
lscheff at Vienna. This diplomatist is en
trusted with the particular confidence ot
I the Emperor Alexander, and has very full
powers to hasten the negociatioo, without
\ the constant sending of Couriers back
1 wards and forwards between Vienna and
St Petersburg, a distance of 600 leagues
The Russian Cabinet demands a speedy
and categorical answer- The march and
r- maintenance of 150,000 men on the war
establishment, has caused extraordinary
expenses quite disproportionate to the re
venues ot the empire. The Austrian and
English ministers at the Russian Court,
have declarrd ihe neutrality ot those pow
ers in case of war- And the Russian Cab*
inet does not seem convinced ot the suc
cess of the negotiation of the two media
ting powers, and the preparations continue
with the «arne ardour. Orders have been
sent to the commanders in chief and com
manders of corps to be ready to attack up
on the first signal. The roads were still
impassable for artillery, andfthis difficulty
alone it is supposed has retarded the open
ing ot campaign.
•Paris, April 1.
Letters received in Paris from Constan
tinople, dated the end ot Fehruary, an
nounce that on tbe25tn ot the same month
the Porte held a grand Council at which
were p-esent the Commandants of the .la
nissarie«, and the Chiefs of the Corpora
tion ot the Metropolis. On the following j
day some tumults were raised* which were ;
only appeased by the rigorous orders of
the government. It is affirmed, that alter
the suppression of those commotions, the
Reis Etfemii delivered to the Ambassadors
of the Allied Courts a Note, which is not I
so satisfactory as had been hoped, and
which does not justify all the hopes wh ch
bad been excited by precediog commum
eations.
St. Petersburg, March 9.—We expect
that the new tariff will soon be published,
by which it is probable that trade will be
Tendered more brisk, an extraordinary
stagnation having arisen from the incredi
bly great importation, and the want of sale
caused by the difficulty ot communication
with the interior, from the mildness of the
winter.
