"Our Prints will inform you, that the report of the committee, respecting the Corn laws, has not yet been taken fully into consideration, and it is doubted by many whether any thing will be done this session. We suppose that those who are interested for Ireland, in particular, will contend for some better encouragement, to the agriculture of that kingdom, and the importation of grain from hence, into great Britain, at a lower average price than that proposed.
The prices of grain seem to be looking upwards, yet the demand is but good.
"It has just come to our knowledge, that the orders in Council, which were heretofore granted immediately, on application, for the admission to entry for home consumption, in this country, of certain goods imported in American and other foreign vessels, have been refused, and in which refusal it is probable, our government may persist. We think it may be useful to you, to be apprised of this."
