FOREIGN COMMERCE. Archangel, 7th July.-Though 80 vessels had arrived by the middle of June, trade was not brisk in proportion; and Tallow and Linseed were the only articles much in demand. Even this demand appears now to have subsided, as both articles are offered at the prices last obtained, without finding purchasers. Tallow 167 r. ; Linseed 32. Some thousand Chetwists of fine wheat have been sold at 19 r.: inferior qualities may be had at 18, and under 12 r. have been paid for barley. The prices asked for the following articles are, Rye 13 r.; Flax 135 r.; Potashes 70 a 71 r. ; Tar 7 r. 15 cop; Pitch 130 cop; Mats 350 r.; Train oil 11 a 104r.; Bristles 55 r.; Tallow candles 20 r.; Deals 8 r.; Cordage 9 r. Among the articles hitherto exported, the principal are Linseed, Wheat, Tallow, Pitch, Tar, Bristles, Deals, and Mats, to London, Liverpool, Hull, and Amsterdam.

14th July. Since last week there has been a great demand for Train oil, and almost the whole of that on the spot, as well as the greater part of that which is expected, has been eagerly bought up at 10 r. 35 cop. a 10 roubles. In other articles there is little variation.

Riga, 31st July.. Corn. Courland Wheat 90 to 120 r.; Oats 44 to 45 r.; but these prices are rather nominal for want of purchasers. For dried Rye at 61 to 65 r. there are more buyers than sellers; 49 r. have been paid for Courland Barley. Flax, the prices asked are, Marienburg Crown 50 r.; ditfo cut 45 r., Thies. and Dru. Rackitzer, white 47 to 47 r.; grey 45; cut Badstub, white 41 to 42 r.; grey 39 r.; Ristenthreeband 35; Tow 17 to 16 r. according to quantity.-Hemp, little doing, the prices given are, for clean Ukraine 106 to 105 r.; Polish 108 r., Ukraine outshot 78 r.; Polish ditto 92; Ukraine pass 68 r.; Polish ditto 82 r.Hemp oil. No sellers at 115 r., and, therefore, nothing doing.-Potashes dull, and to be had for 88 r.-Seeds. The last price paid for crushino Linseed of 108 to 111 lbs.

was 20 to 22 r.; but none has been sold for a long time. There is no Hempseed at all here.-Tallow 162 r. has been paid for white crown; other descriptions without demand.

St. Petersburg, July.-Little has hitherto been doing in our export trade, chiefly perhaps, because the holders have asked too high prices, but as they have now given way, we may expect to see business become more active.-Bristles. We have now a fresh supply, and they may be purchased at 75 r. for the best sort.-Flax. A small quantity of new 12 head has been sold at 170 r.; but when the supply is increased the price will, probably, fall to 165 or 160 r.- -Corn. There is but little doing; only small parcels of Rye are purchased at 14 to 15 r. Wheat 21 to 23.—Hemp. Clean finds few purchasers at 90 to 94 r. Outshot has risen a little, because it was in demand for Sweden; prices 75 to 73 r. Half clean is less in demand, though it may be had at 60 to 63 r. Tow, though the stock is larger is not sold under 40 r.Potashes. The reduction of the price to 85 r. having tempted buyers, they have risen again, and fine are held at 87 r. and by some persons at 90 r.- -Tallow. Yellow offered at 170 r.; Soap and white 158 have no buyers.

Stockholm, 1st August.-As a proof how much the importation of foreign goods into Sweden has been diminished within a year, it may be mentioned that, since the commencement of the navigation this year, only a single ship from London, and another from Amsterdam, have arrived here with goods, and by no means with full cargoes. The corn trade with the Baltic, formerly so brisk, has been almost nothing this year, in consequence of the import du

ties. These restrictions have had a favourable influence on the course of exchange.

Danzic, 2d August. — Yesterday 400 lasts of wheat were bought at prices from 375 to 430 fl. according to quality. There is no demand for other articles, the following prices of which are nominal, Rye 210 to 230 fl.; Barley 130 to 150 fl.; Oats 120 to 130 fl.; Peas 250 to 260 f.

In colonial produce little is doing, and many articles, especially Coffee and Sugar, are very low in comparison with the prices in England. Fine ordinary Coffee has been sold at 39 g.; Lump sugar at 15 fl. for exportation.

Copenhagen, 3d August. We have every prospect of a productive harvest, and the prices of corn are expected to fall considerably.

*

Hamburg, 12th August.-Cotton. Some sorts have been much in request; 324 bales of Carthagena have been sold.—Cocoa, Spices, Indigo, Rice, no demand.-Coffee. A good deal has been sold this week, and the prices rose after the arrival of the English mail. The demand has again slackened

since yesterday.-Corn. Wheat has been extremely dull this week, and none has been sold, but a small parcel of the best quality at 124 rix dollars, for England. Barley and Oats, best quality, are in demand for England, especially Oats.-Sugar. Hamburgh refined has not been so much sought this week, but sufficiently to keep up the prices. Lumps in loaves have rather given way, and strong middling goods have been sold at 11; ordinary and crushed sugars dull; fine white raw sugars are much in request, and fetch high prices; but ordinary white and brown are dull of sale, even at the reduction of 4.

· 18th August.—Coffee per lb. Batavia 15 d. (Banco); Havannah and Brazil 14 to 15; Dominica, Mart. Surinam, and Jamaica ord. 14 to 14 g. o. 15 f. o. 15 m. 15% to 16 f. m. 16 to 16.Sugars. Powder loaves (Melis) English 12 to 14d. Lumps; English, in loaves 11 to 124, ditto, crushed, 11 to 12.-Corn. Wheat Mark. 120 to 122 rix dollars; ditto Mecklenburg 112 to 118; Oats (Holstein) 43 to 46 r.; ditto Barley 54 to 56.

Germany in General.-Nothing has yet transpired respecting the negotiations of the South German States, which we mentioned in our last. An account of the summer fair at Munich, speaks of the large quantities of cotton manufactures, sold at very low prices, and adds, it appears certain that the public do not care whether an article is of foreign or German manufacture, provided it be agreeable to their taste, and cheap.

France.-The French government has ordered that, in lieu of the tonnage duties on foreign vessels arriving in French ports, those of the United States, shall pay 90 francs per ton, till the act of Congress, imposing an additional duty on French vessels, shall be repealed. American vessels in ballast, and those which sailed from America before the 15th of June are exempted. A

bounty of 10 francs per 100 kilogrammes is granted to the cottons of North and South America, imported in French vessels (from 15 October, 1820, to 31 March, 1821), from the French colonies, or from foreign ports, and colonies (not in Europe), except ing those of the United States.

Accounts from Martinique alledge such & serious inculpation of the agents of the French custom house officers, that it is hard to believe it. These accounts state, that cargoes of English goods of the value of 50,000 to 100,000 gourds (250,000 to 500,000 francs) are daily introduced into the island, and publicly sold by auction.

Spain. In the sitting of the Cortes on the 14th of July, the minister of finance made a remarkable speech on the laws and duties of customs. He said that, by the present system, commerce was subjected to immense difficulties; that the Junta appointed to regulate this department, had proposed varions means to overcome them, among which was the permission to export grain from all the ports of the kingdom, when the price should not exceed 80 reals; on payment of an export duty of 2 per cent. :. that the prohibition of exporting various articles, for instance Oil, had been fatal to agriculture, and injurious to the state, and that the same disadvantages resulted from the prohibition of the exportation of cattle, and that of corn. That the vexatious im pediments which both natives and foreigners meet with in importing the productions of other countries, restrain the former, and deter the latter from trading with us; and that the greater the liberty of commerce, the greater will the receipt of the public revenue be: he proposed the suppression or modification of many of these prohibitions, and, that when goods had once paid the duties at the custom houses, they should have free circulation through the whole kingdom, and that all duties of customs in the, interior should be abolished.
