There is considerable alteration in the quo tations of Spices. Mace a shade higher. yet declared for sale. Cinnamon is lower. There is no Pepper Indigo. The sale at the India-House, 5912 chests, commenced 9th instant, and finished on Monday. The fine and good Indigos sold from 6d. a 9d. per lb., the good middling and middling qualities from 9d. a 1s. per lb., and the ordinary shipping and consuming kinds full 1s. per lb. higher than the August sale 1820; the common ordinary and low sold at nearly the same prices. The Madras sold from 4d. a 6d. per Ib. higher. Only a small quantity has been bought in by the proprietors. Rum, Brandy, and Hollands.-The prices of Rum, Brandy, and Hollands, by private contract, are nearly nominal; scarcely any purchases are reported. Geneva is quite neglected. Hemp, Flax, and Tallow.-A small impulse was given to the Tallow market by the receipt of country orders, which caused an advance of 6d. a ls. per cwt.; but the accounts from St. Petersburg not being favourable, the prices declined. market is now heavy, and prices little varied. In hemp and flax little is doing, and prices are lower. The Corn. The market has been heavy for some weeks, the supplies having been, in general, large. Coffee.This market has been very dull, and declining throughout the month, and the quantities brought forward at public sales have been very generally taken in, on account of the low prices. We add the prices current, as published for 27th of March, and 20th of April, which will be the shortest mode of showing the depression that has taken place. This will, however, have a favourable effect on the export trade. Berbice, Demerary, &c.

Triage Ordinary been lately bought at 16 cop. ready money, and 16 cop. at four months, and fine goods still find purchasers at those prices, but there is no sale for ordinary. March 23.-A very fine lot of yellow Havannah sugar has been sold at 124 cop. ready money, and another at 13 oop. at six months. March 30.-Flax is rather dearer and in demand. Thies. and Dru. Rackitzer at 41 r. cut Badstub 36 to 37 r. Ristenthreeband 31. Hofsthreeband 37 r. Tou 14 to 15 r. Hemp. Clean Ukraine has lately been purchased for delivery at the end of May at 102 r. all the money down; and at the end of July at 108 r. with 10 per cent. earnest. Hemp-oil is held firmly at 100 r. all down for delivery at the end of May, and 95 r. are in vain offered.-Tallow. Yellow crown, on the spot, may be already had at 150 r. and for delivery it might even be had at 145 r.-Corn is quite without demand. 40 r. have been offered for a parcel of Courland barley; but 43 r. are asked for it.-Tobacco. Though very little has been doing, the holders are not more eager to sell, and will no longer take 42 r. all down, for delivery in June. Gothenburg, March 31.-Our road is now quite free from ice, and the navigation very active. Several vessels have cleared out, and several have arrived, among these is the American brig Triton from Copenhagen, to take in iron. The general price for ordinary iron is now 20 rix dollars banco: on account of the great difference between the prices this and last year, but little has been dene at the iron market at Christiania, which is just ended; most of the iron will therefore be consigned hither. Contracts have been made at prices to be afterwards fixed, but little has been bought at 17 to 18 r. dollars banco. The quantity that has been forged is uncommonly large, and there is every appearance that our prices will be low in the course of this year. Copenhagen, April 14.-Ships are still sought to convey corn to the Netherlands, and also to Spain and Portugal. The corn trade is otherwise dull. Hamburg, April 7.-Cotton has been in good demand this week.-Coffee has been more in request at rather lower prices, and several purchases have been made.Tea is sold pretty briskly in small parcels. 300 chests of Haysanchin are to be sold by auction on the 18th.-Sugar. Our refined have remained unchanged in price with moderate demand; but loaves of all kinds are d. higher. Lumps (in loaves) of the ordinary middle quality are still bought by our refiners at 114d, but crushed lumps meet with no sale. The business in raw goods has been limited; but dry qualities fit for exportation maintain their prices. Purchasers stand for lower prices, which will probably be acceded to for prompt payment,, several holders not liking to sell for time. Several successive auctions of Brazil sugars (some slightly damaged) are likely to limit the demand next week. 14th April.-There have been some sales of coffee this week at lower prices. Sugars. Refined goods have remained exactly as last week; the finer sorts in little request and proportionably lower, but the inferior sought for, and readily sold at the noted prices. Lumps in loaves, good middling quality, are in good demand at 114. The prices of raw goods, especially of the inferior sorts, seem inclined to give way; fine white Havannah was not to be sold above 144. Corn of all descriptions is nearly without demand, and therefore rather lower: a few parcels of wheat have been purchased for exportation. Genoa, 8th April.-Our commerce has been more lively this week, and we have had some good arrivals from America and elsewhere, especially of coffee and leather. Nothing interesting, however, is doing. The sales in the free port are almost nothing, only a purchase of 15 hogsheads of crushed sugars, at 50%. per 100lbs. is reported. This article, however, keeps up well at the usual rates: coffee is less so, and the holders would readily grant some facilities if they could sell, as the season of the great.consumption is nearly over, and our depôt is well provided. Rice of Piedmont. 20 liv. 15, in the warehouse, and 22 liv. 5, with the sack free on board for 150lbs. Nankeens. The season is at hand when this article is most used, and frequent sales are now made, 6000 pieces of narrow have been sold at 41. 48. 4d. per piece. Naples 30th March. Business is still languid: little is doing in exchanges; but it may be presumed that as soon as foreign merchants are made easy respecting the changes that have taken place in our kingdom, confidence and credit will revive. 5th April. Little has been doing to-day in exchange business. Our funds, however, fully keep up at 60, and are much sought at that price. One of our first houses has purchased to the amount of a million of ducats. Money and credit begin to return, The agio on gold is 3 per cent. The mercantile transactions this week have not been very important, but we have reason to hope that commerce will soon revive, now that tranquillity is re-established, WORKS PREPARING FOR PUBLICATION.
