London dates to October 17, received at New-York by the George Barclay from Liverpool.
LONDON, October 17.
THE Hamburgh mail due on Wednesday arrived this day; and we also received this morning Paris papers to the 14th inst. The latter inform us that the Diet at Ratibon has at length delivered its ultimatum, and that it is altogether in the spirit of the vote of Austria.
The intelligence by the mail is not interesting, nor does it throw any further light on the question respecting the election of the Archbishop of Cologne and Bishop of Munster.
The debt owing to this country by France, for the keeping of prisoners, amounts to little less than 1,000,000l. sterling.
As soon as the news of peace was received on the French coast opposite Jersey, several boats loaded with different articles of provisions proceeded to that island. The small Normandy sheep they sold alive for half a guinea each, turkeys sixteen pence each, and butter sixpence a pound! As the islands will now be supplied from the French coast, a considerable reduction in the price of provisions must consequently take place in the southern and western parts of England, from hence they have been wholly supplied.
The price of butter will be considerably reduced, owing to the large quantity already shipped in Holland to London, at prices greatly inferior to what it has lately been in this country.
