As a man so advanced in years he was remarkably hale: about five years since he performed a journey of 90 miles on horseback in a day, to give a vote at Brentford for his friend, Mr. Mainwaring. The fame of the professional service that he some years ago rendered to this country, in the person of the Sovereign, induced his assistance to be sought for the Queen of Portugal, to whom he went, and who was for some Honths his patient.

Russia is now added to the host of our enemies; but when we consider, that without trade the nobles of the vast Russian empire cannot enjoy those luxuries they have been wont to do, we cannot but tremble for the fate of that empire, or its chief. Is it likely, all the enslaved countries of the continent will suffer their produce to rot on the ground?We are so much of tradesmen as to think, that while we have money, as well as the command of so many necessaries that the continent canot otherwise procure, there will still be a mutual intercourse, and that ingenuity will be at work to evade the prohibitory deerees that-now prevail. All kinds of Baltic or Russian produce, as iron, hemp, flax, timber, tallow, hides, &c. have already considerably advanced in price; and the high price of tallow has caused the London tallow-chandiers to raise the price of soap and candles, &c. The East India Company's Tea Sale (consisting of about six million pounds weight of tea) is now going on, and the prices are favourable to the purchasers. At their Sugar Sule on the 1st inst. 20,471 bags of sugar sold from 28s to 55s. per cwt. and at their Cotton Sale 6016 bags of that article sold from 9d. to 147d. per lb. Every day shews us in a stronger point of view the importance of Monte Video and Buenos Ayres to this country. The ships arrived from thence, with part of our army, have brought home considerable remittances and consignments in return for goods sent out; and it is a well authenticated fact, that all the early shippers to those places have made very handsome profits, not only from this port, but also from the other out ports of the united kingdom. We anxiously hope that the report of the West India merchants, which was delivered in to the House of Commons the 10th of July last, may be attended to at the approaching mecting of our parliament, but more particularly that part of the report which respects the Americans carrying West India produce into France aud the other ports of the continent of Europe, so as to prevent the destruction of our West India merchants and planters. The idea of Ame rican ships bound for the continent touching at our ports, and paying a duty in Great Britain, we fear, will never prevent this traffic going on, as the Americans have a thousand ways of evading this kind of restricuon on their commeree; nor do we even think that America will acquiesce to any such terms, unless compelled to it: which measure we sincerely hope may be dispensed with. The London and Liverpool market for sugars (which markets govern the others of the united kingdom) are very flat, full of produce, and few buyers. There has, however, within a few days past, been shipped to the continent a quantity of coffee, pepper, and pimento, &c. &c. under the license of Talleyrand's own hand, sent hither, to protect or insure their safe landing in France. We trust our government will look into this kind of French manœuvre, and have a stop put to it as soon as possible, and at the same time prohi bit the importation of French brandies, French wines, and of French cambrics; all of which articles this country can find substitutes for of our own produce and manufacture; conse quently carrying on a trade of this kind drams our country of an immense sum of money to enrich our enemies. It has proved very fortunate to our merchants and ship-owners, that all our vessels (except three) got safe out of the Baltic ere the Russian embargo was laid on. We, however, have every reason to hope, that the present misunderstanding between the two countries may yet be amicably adjusted; and that our once respected ally, Alexander, will not suffer bimself to be duped by his pretended friend, the French Emperor.
