prices of those articles of colonial produce, which are affected by them. They will be found under the head of St. Petersburgh. Negotiations, it appears, are on foot, between the two governments, which, it is hoped, may lead to some arrangement less unfavourable to our mercantile interest. No alteration has taken place in our commercial relations with other countries. The Spanish Tariff appears not to have given satisfaction to the nation; and it is expected that strong representations against many parts of it, will be made to the Cortes, which are now again assembled. The northern provinces of Spain are stated to be inundated, beyond all former example, with contraband goods. The state of Italy naturally causes a great stagnation of commerce in that country. The fluctuations in the prices of colonial and other produce having been, on the whole, inconsiderable during the month, we shall rather give the state of the markets during the last week. Sugar. The demand for Muscovades last week was steady; the purchases were, however, on a limited scale, and in several instances low browns went at prices a shade under the late currency. There appears some improvement in the demand for Muscovades this forenoon; there is no alteration whatever in the prices. There was a good demand for refined goods last week, and the inquiries appear to increase, and the prices to improve; scarcely any lumps are at market for sale, and the lowest quality is held at 87s. Generally there are few goods at market, and should the trade revive, of which there is some appearance, the advance in the prices would be rapid. The request for foreign sugars has materially improved. By public sale yesterday forenoon 155 chests 87 barrels Brazil sugar were brought forward; there appeared a very limited demand, and a considerable proportion was taken in the quantity sold went fully at the previous prices; White, good colour but not strong Grey, good quality and strength 48s. 6d. a 50s. fully supporting the previous prices, except good middling Demerara, which sold 28. a 3s. lower; Jamaica being scarce and much wanted, sold 120s. and Ï20s. 6d. for good ordinary, middling with colour sold so high as 138s; good St. Domingo went at 119; middling Brazil 125s, fine ordinary 123s; good middling Demerara, which had previously realised 143s. and 144s, sold at 139s. and 140s. There were no public sales of Coffee this forenoon: the demand by private contract appears rather to revive. Cotton. The favourable accounts from Liverpool (extensive sales at higher prices), appear to have made an impression on the market here; purchases cannot be made on so low terms as during the last week. The sales consist of-duty paid, 476 Pernams 12 d. a 13d. fair to very good; 13 ordinary stained Demerara at 7d; 30 good Smyrna 94d: and in bond, 350 Pernambuco 114d. a 12d. fair to good fair; 594 Bengals 5 d. very ordinary to 5d. and 6d. for good; 216 Surat 5 d. very common, 5d. fair common, to 6d. for good fair; and 50 good fair Bowed 9d. a 94d. By public sale this forenoon, 158 bags Pernambuco Cotton, middling to good fair, in bond, were all taken in at 11d. and 12. The arrivals of Cotton in the first two months of this year amounted to 64,300 bags, being 24,300 bags below the import in the same period last year, owing to the adverse winds in February. Tea. The Tea sale closed on Thursday last; it has gone off freely, and generally at higher prices than the last sale. Saltpetre. There has been some briskness in the demand for Saltpetre on account of the appearance of war on the continent: parcels of the late sale have been disposed of currently at a premium of Is. a 2s, and in some instances 3s. Rum, Brandy, and Hollands.-The accounts respecting the high duty imposed in Russia on Rums had an unfavourable effect upon the market, which was previously heavy, and nearly at nominal quotations: the few purchases made in the last week are at prices fully Id. per gallon lower. By public sale 14th inst. 140 puncheons Jamaica Rum : 11 a 13 O. P. .... 28. 4d. a 2s. 5d. 16 a 18 18 a 21 27 a 29 2s. 9d. a 2s. 10d. 3s. 1d. The Rum market continues without alteration; scarcely any business has been effected.-Brandies are held with more firmness; but no improvement in the prices can be stated.-Geneva is without variation. Hemp, Flax, and Tallow.-The prices of Tallow have been exceedingly depressed for a length of time, and as the market appeared gradually to give way each succeeding week, several holders seemed determined to force sales; a large parcel of old yellow candle tallow was in consequence forced off on Thursday so low as 44s. 6d. -The report of war on the continent does not improve the demand for Hemp.-Flax is without any alteration. Oils.-There has been a considerable demand for Whale Oil for export; the market is, however, so abundantly supplied, that no improvement has taken place in the prices: a cargo of Cape Oil is arrived: the late supply of Southern has occasioned a small depression.-Linseed Oil is a shade lower in the other descriptions there is no alteration.

FOREIGN COMMERCE. Hamburgh, 10 March. The demand having been pretty brisk, the prices have been more steady.-Sugar. Though little has been doing this week in Hamburgh refined sugars, the prices are fully supported. Considerable purchases of raw goods, of almost all descriptions, have been made in consequence of orders from Berlin; but the temporary animation caused by them has abated within a few days, and the rise in the price of some kinds will probably not be supported as the opening of the navigation approaches. Lumps in loaves, our stock being much reduced, met a ready sale at the late prices; strong middling at 114d. to 114d.; but there was no inquiry for crushed lumps.-Corn. Good old wheat seems to be more asked for, and some purchases have been made for exportation. The sale of Rye is limited to small parcels for home consumption; but good old corn maintains its price. Fine Barley is sought after, from 1 to 2 rix dollars higher. Fine Oats would also meet a ready sale, but our stock is small. Rapeseed has again risen, and is rated at 180 to 212 rix dollars, according to quality. become more animated within this last Archangel, 16 Feb.-Our market has week. Tallow has been sold at 126 r. but the holders will not now sell at that price, some asking 127 to 128 r. and some 130 r. for 10 pood. The last price paid for candles was 16 r. per pood. For mats, first and second sort, 250 r. per 1000. Oats 6 r. per chetwert; for which 6 to 7 r. are now asked. The prices asked are for Rye 10 to 11 r.; for Hemp 70 to 80 r.; for Flax, second sort, 100 r.; for Potashes 75 r.; but these prices are all considerably higher than are offered. 6 r. are asked for Tar, but it might be had at 6 r. There appears to be some demand for Wheat; and 144, nay 15 r. per chetwert, are stated to have been offered to-day. Riga, 23 Feb.-Flax. We have had pretty large supplies this week, which affected the prices, especially of Druiania and Thiesenhausen Rackitzer. The prices now asked are-for Marienburg Crown 48 r., ditto cut, 39 r.; Thies. and Druiania Rackitzer 424 to 48 r; cut bad stub 37 to 37 r. Tow 14 to 15 r.-Hemp. Small parcels of that on the spot have been sold at the following prices:-Ukraine clean 104 r., ditto outshot 84 r.; Polish ditto 90 r. Ukraine Pass. 74 r.; Polish 80 r. There are few purchasers on contract; and paying all the money down purchases might be made as follows:-Ukr. clean 103 r., outshot 79 r.; Pol. ditto 87 r.; Ukr. Pass. ditto 69 r.; Pol. ditto 75 r. For Hemp-oil for delivery 98 r. all paid down are asked. Seeds are less in demand than they have been.-Tallow. 160 r. are asked for yellow crown now on the spot. Purchases for future delivery may be made at 150 r. all paid down. port articles are, without demand, so that With the exception of salt, all our imeven those articles, the import duty on which is increased, now find no purchasers at the late prices.
