IT is with great pleafure we announce the arrival of a valuable East India fleet, confifting of fixteen fail, together with eleven whalers, under convoy of the Sampion man of war. They left St. Helena the Ift of February; our next will probably give some particulars of their cargoes, &c. &c. We regret to find that the Adamant's convoy out to India, has arrived at a very bad market, being overstocked with all kinds of European merchandize, confequently the goods fent out by this fleet muft leave a confiderable lois to the proprietors. The fafe arrival of the homeward-bound Jamaica fleet just now has brought a large quan tity of sugars into our market, notwithstanding which the article has fold at 1s. per cwt. higher than last month, and the public fales have been very confiderable, as between the 17th and 28th the following goods were fold, viz. By Meffrs. Coles and Son... Blache, and Co. Kymer, and Co. Hbds. Tri. Bls. 911 163 6 .1338 161 100 493 22 Tyers, Dunkley, and Co.. W. Anderfon W. Broadhurst. S. Dixon... J. Nichols... making together 4280 hogsheads, 456 tierces and 115 barrels of British plantation fogar, which fold from 56s. up to 76s. 6d: per cwt. according to quality, the principal part of which was Jamaica's, the remainder Surinam, Trinidad, Demerary, &c. &c. The average price of fugars (in the London Gazette) ending the 15th inft, was 36s. 44d. per cwt. exclufive of the duty of Customs paid or payable thereon, on the importation thereof ido Great Britain. The quantity of Weft India coffee fold between the 17th and 28th was 1032 hogfheads, 99 barrels, and 4935 bags, from 51. to 71. 2s. 6d. per cwt. This article has lowered in price nearly 5s. per cwt. fince our laft, no doubt owing to the want of an exportation to the northern ports of Europe, thofe being the principal markets for both our fugars and coffee. The fales of Welt India cotton continues extremely flat; fome few bags of Demerary cotten fold from 147ph to 1s. 94d. per lb. Berbice 1s. 6d. to 1s. 1044. per lb. Surinams, 1s. 8d. tu 28. per Ib. Ba hamas at 1s. 54d. to 1s. 104. per lb. 1600 chefts of Indigo were fold by the Eaft. India Company (private trade) from a to 11s. 9d. per lb. The quality remarkably fine of the latter. The American government having refused to ratify the treaty lately made with this coUDtry, has already caufed a rife of full 10s. per cwt. in the articles of American pearl and por athes, and most likely will have the fame effect on all the produce of that country; we however hope the exifting differences will be foon fettled to our mutual fatisfaction. Foreign dars ley has advanced from 3s. to 4s. per quarter; pease have lowered . per quarter; flour fiom 25. to 3s. per fack; foreign and English clover feed; 3s. per cwt, as alfo has linscei..

The total amount of the exemptions granted to foreigners holding property in our funds, amounts, for the last tree quarters, to only 63,0031. The African fave trade being appily at an end, the merchants in London and at Liverpool are using their utmoft exertions to difpatch vellels out to the coaft for their laft cargoes thence, which they expect will afford them confiderable profit in the West India market. The demand for Irish linens in the Linen Hall at Dublin) for the Spanish market (via Lifbon) has got the prices of the finer for up confiderably, and is likely to be productive of great benent to that numerous body of weavers in the North and South-west of that kingdom; the coarter forts retain their prices for the West India market, and to this may be attributed the fail on the Exco.nge between the two countries. The 3 per cent, confols this month have been variable from 62 to 621.

THE wet and fevere weather experienced in the early part of the preceding month, impeded, for a time, the fpring operations of ploughing and fowing, which, fince the feafon has been more favourable, have been renewed with much vigour. A large proportion of feed is already in the ground, making kind and good work. The low (fens) and high drier foils were feldom ever, at this feafon, in a better condition; and the late warm weather has much recovered the appearance of the winter crops, and of graffes, both natural and artificial, which were confiderably retarded in their growth by the prevailing cold and frosty winds In Eng. land and Wales, Wheat averages per quarter 76s. 6c.; Barley, 38s. 7d.; Oats, 27s 104. The backwardness of the fpring has also occañoned a large confumption of hay, although a la e stock on hand fells at an advanced price; and to the fame caufe may be attributed the reduction in value at the late Fairs, of Lean Stock, Store fheep, Dairy Cows, &c.-In Sinienfield Market, Beef fetches from 4s. to 5s. 4d. per ftone of 81b.; Mutton, 4s. 83. to 5s. 62; Perk, 5 to 68.
