SATURDAY, Two O'CLOCK.
The German papers received this morning say, that the Porte in- tends to remedy the difficulty of obtaining supplies, caused by the blockade of the Dardanelles, by conveying corn from Smyrna by land, on camels. At Ancona, it was reported that the English Go- vernment, highly disapproved of the blockade of Candia by the Russians ; and that instructions would be sent by Mr. Stratford Canning, to endeavour to induce the Commanders in the Mediter- ranean to raise the blockade.
The letters from the manufacturing districts do not report the lenst improvement. In the West Riding of Yorkshire, there is a complete stagnation in commercial transactions. Nothing is doing in stuffs ; and the manufacturers have long left off making fancy-goods, as they can procure no sale for them. The glove trade at Yeovil, in Somersetshire, is at a stand. In Wiltshire, many articles have fallen 20 per cent., within a very few months.
