CO.VMERCE. .., P I'. 1 Independently of the fluctuations to which over speculation and monopoly have occasioned, as has been the case with Cotton, Oil, &c. we think we perceive the giadual, though tardy operation, of the restoration of -a general pacification - in the fall of price 'of almost all commodities which the profits and risks attendant. upon a state of warfare had caused to rise far, very far, above their intrinsic value, but at length it is beginning to be discovered that many transmarine productions can be procarod upon much more reasonable terms than even the present lowered prices of such commodities would induce us to sus pect. It remains still to be ascertained at what price the planter in America can afford to sell his Cotton perhaps it may be found that from 12 to 14 cents. will .amply repay his advance of capital and labour for cultivating it—and probably the free traders to the East Indies will soon discover that Cotton, in those regions, may be had almost for the trouble of collecting it. Coffee, it may shortly appear, may be purchased at Batavia for about fcur-pence per pound, and so on 'with many other commodities, so that we apprehend the present to be 'a most critical and still interesting period in the history of commerce, and merchants as well as statesmen are imperiously called upon deeply to reflect uponits present awful 'tate, • and to regulate their operations accordingly. Among the long list of etportations to the Conti nent, we are particularly struck with the extensive, and still increasing, shipment of Colion. Wool—that it fs • not in our power to check the improvement of foreign manufactories, or to monopolize the Cotton , Trade altogether, admits of no question, but we certainly are not called upon to encourage our rivals, as we are now doing, by furnishing them with the raw material upon lower terms than our own artisans can procure it. The duty upon Cotton, for home consumption, is one penny per pound, which, at the present low rates of that article, is, upon Bengals,` about 20 per cent. and upon American and Brazils Cotton, about 8 to 10 per cent. there being no duty upon exportation, we supply manufacturers abroad at so much lower rates than our own countrynien.— We are no advocates for any additional imposition of duties, particularly in commerce, yet as we do not think it would be very convenient to repeal the ex isting duty on Cotton, we are of opinion that, under present circumstances, foreigners purchasing it fro'm us should, in justice to ourselves, be subject to the like charge. ROYAL EXCHANGE. _ _ The business in Foreign Exchanges, confined, as it must be, within a narrow compass, was limited in proportion to the small number of.real unexcep tionable Bills ; for the profits attending these opera tions being trifling, will not adthit of any risk, and, in consequence, we have to report a partial decline in the Course of Exchange on Monday, which was as follows:—Amsterdam, 11.4 k. a 5. ditto at sight, 11. I.a 11.—Rotterdam, 11. 6i. —Antwerp, 11. 7i. B.—Hamburgh, 33. 11. a 111.—Paris, 24. a 24.5. ditto at sight, 23.70. a 75.—Francfort, 1391. a 140. Madrid, S9}.--Lehorn, 51i. a 52.—Genea, 47k. a A .—Naples, 42. a .—Lisbon, 600.—Good bills were easily negotiable, and in demand. MINCING-LANE. Having lately reported the transactions of this place on Saturday, we have only this day to give an account of Tuesday's market, and we ate happy to say that something like a revival of trade was expe rieneed in some few articles. There was on Monday more inquiry for Coffee, but that not being Much a day of business in that article, little was transacted. No public sales were announced for Tuesday, yet several sales by private contract were effected, at an advance of price. East India and St Domingo Coffee were most inquired for. Sales of Cheribon were made at 104 s. to 105 s. St. Domingo may now be quoted at 975. to 104 s. and Brazil 98s. to 1025.- It was stated that advices had reached town of an improvement in the price of Coffee at Rotterdam be Mier tree or not, we conceive this, perhaps, the safest article for the investment of floating capital, and being low will, we expect, excite some attention. Sugar continues flat ; the business in Muscovades yesterday was limited ; the purchases are confined to strong Sugars, which are scarce; upon the whole we consider die raw market a shade better. Refined Sugars are stationary : some demand was, however, experienced for Lumps, and we un derstand one house made a considerable purchase for exportation to Hamkirgh-218 casks Demarara Mo lasses were brought forward yesterday, the quality being -very inferior, they all sold at 235. to 2.55. The yellow descriptions of liavannah have been inquired after. Foreign Sugirs, upon the whole, are heavy, and no buyers in the market. From the late low prices of raw Sugar it is expec‘ ted that the Import Dirty, which is taken on a quar terly aggregate average price, will be reduced upon British - Plantation Muscovadoes to 275. a 28s. instead of 30s.

FROM A COMMERCIAL RESIDENT AT JACS4RI 9 =lift DOM Of HAYTt, MARCH On the 31st of October, we came-to anchor in the harbour of St. Thomas's, a Danish island, in which is a very pretty town. The island itself is of little importance ; but being a free port, and situated so conveniently for supplying the Spanish Main, it com mands a considerable trade—greater at this time than at any former period : the dispute between Spain and her Colonies has already , made the fortunes of many persons there. . From St. Thomas's we ran doled Eel* in four days. Judge of my feelings on landing ., in this wretched hole, destined to be my place of abode for a consi derable time. The town.of Jacmel is composed of a number of dirty sheds, snppogtect on rough poles : it is a mass of dirty Negro huts. .It.wAs some time before I recovered my astonishment. I could scarcely suppose myself .in the Island of St, Domingo, all geographical accounts of which are painted in the most lively colours: . indeed. in .the time of the French it must have been quite a different place to what it appears at present. The ruins of many fine build ings still remain, bearing evident marks of the ge neral destruction and devastation occasioned by the Icing and sanguinary warfare carried on here. It has been my fate, on my first foreign trip, to come to a, place acknowledged by every one to be the very worst in the whole West Indies. However, there is this advantage in it—after living here, a person may venture to reside almost any wiere, without expe riencing a change for the worse. I am speaking now only of the town of Jacmel, my present residence. You are, no doubt, aware that this fine island is divided into three separate parts, as distinct as if they were three separate countries. For this, the S.W. side, governed by Boyer (elected on the decease of Petion), the principal ports are Port-au-Prince, the seat of Government—Aux Cayes, a great harbour for the Independent cruizers, alias pirates; and this hole, Jacmel, the harbour of which is very bad, and open to the ocean; but we have in conse quence always a fine sea breeze, which renders the place very healthy. Second, the N.W. (Christophes) the principal seat of commerce in which is Cape Henry (formerly Francois) but there is no sort of communication between t he respective divisions.— Third, the Spanish part of the island is by far the largest, but the least cultivated, consisting chiefly of wood-land; but they export, in consequence, large quantities of mahogany and cattle. This island, in the hands of an industrious enter prising people, would be capable of producing more than all the British West-India possessions together. The soil is rich, and fruitful beyond comparison. You must have a very contemptible idea of a West- India Island that produces no rum—l speak of this part only—and because it is capable of producing it, the importation is prohibited. The language gene rally spoken here is a mixture of very bad French and Spanish blended together, and di ffi cult to be comprehended by a stranger. There are only three Englishmen here besides myself, and these have adop ted the Creole customs from a long residence, Every person found out of doors after nine o'clock in the evening is taken up without ceremony, and coat ned till next morning. —[The writer details the customs of the country, which are no way interesting.l—The' Government of' the country is called republican 4 but it is, in fact, tyrannical in the extreme. You will say I have drawn a gloomy picture of this once-beautiful and still fertile country; but it is a correct one, For the last few years, the quantity of produce , grown here has decreased surprisingly; and no other remittance can be made, as Spanish dollars have long since disappeared, and given place to a currency of, their own fabrication, a sort of tin money, which' bears a discount of fifty per cent. The only articles of export are coffee, cotton, and logwood, articles for which there is always a con sumption in Europe ; but the laziness of the people is such that comparatively sinall quantities are brought to market. The demand, however, is rather slack at the present time; therefore the 'stity offered dr • k • APICOIfr o t ar tSMOT M.. .. • . , 'TesidWaY beit'lg th4H•ft'llarcif TerM, the Jncliges entereirWeqUainstee 4 llMlilith the usual formalities, ,and proceeded to their respective Courts.

He commenced his practices immediately on his arrival in this conutry, and being possessed all the expertness of a Barrin g ton, he was for a time ♦ery successful. I-h was committed on four differ= charges. Ho was exceedingl)s insolent during his examination.

Ryan said but few words ; he offered up his last prayers for Mr. Twit—and spoke gratecally of the exertions used by that gentleman to save his life.

This being the first day, of Easter Term, the Judges of this Court came down to Westminster flail, at one o'clock, and took their seats upon the bench. Mr. Carlile, bookseller, of Fleet-street, appeared at the bar, when two indictments were read to him, which had been.found by the Grand Jury of London, for publishing certain blasphemous writings, PAine's Age of Reason, Sec. He pleaded Not Guilty, and was then informed that the indictments would be tried at the sittings after this Term. TURNER V. LEWIS. Mr. GURNEY moved for a new trial in this case. It was an action of trespass tried before Mr. Justice BAILEY in Kent. A verdict was found for the plain tiff. It was a question of right to land, which tcic plaintiff claimed, contending that it was part of an estate sold to him by Lord Le Despencer. Mr. Gur ney, in support of his application, said he was pre pared to prove it was a verdict against evidence. Mr. Justice BAILEY—" I was dissatisfied with the verdict, and myself for not having gone through the evidence from the beginning to the end. The Jury appeared to assent to the evickmce as it stood, then retired and expressed their dissent to my direction by finding a verdict contrary to me." The Court granted a rule to shew cause. The Court was occupied during the remainder of the day in hearing motions of course. JURY COURT, DUMFRIES, APRIL 14. BELL V. BELL. . . In this question the following issue cameto be tried : " Whether the defender, Janet Or4essy Bell, is the le gitimate daughter of the deceased William 13e11, of St. Kilt's." The defender, Janet Bell, had been served heiress to her father, W lliam. Bell, of the island of St. Kitt's, and that service was challenged by the pursuer, the brother of William Bell, on this ground, that Wm. Bell never was married, and consequently that the defender was an illegitimate child. The pursuer brought forward a great number of witnesses,• several of whom were his relations. Ac cording, to their testimony it appeared, that above twenty . years ago; William Bell came to .Scotland, bringing with him the defender, then about 7 years of age,. and he introduced her to his family as his child; but on various occasions when asked whether he was married, he declared he was not ; and one witness said, that at that time he was paying his ad dresses t 9 a Miss Brown. All the witnesses for the. pursuer said they unifornily considered the defender as illegitimate, and that she was generally reputed' to be so, excepting one witness, who said he always looked upon her as a lawful child. The defender, on the othet hand, proved by wit nesses. quite unconnected with the parties, that Wm. Belli when he brought the defender to this country, informed them he was married to Esther Bell, the daughter of , it Mr. Bell, from Tweed, and that he had three children, of whom the defender was the eldest, and he had brought her over to Scotland to ob tain her education. Some of the witnesses said, that in with a Captain Hoggan, now de-* ceased, they had heard that gentleman say he 'was in the house of William Bell, in St. Kitt's, and saw a lady he acknowledged as his wife, and children who were declared to be the issue of that marriage. All the witnesses for the defender said they never held her in any other view than as the lawful child of William Bell, and, till the present question arose, they never heard any thing to the contrary: The witnesses on both sides agreed that the defender evidently was a girl of colour; and no evidence what ever was brought to shew what had become of Wil liam Bell's other children, or of Esther Bell, his wife. The defender having obtained herself served hei ress and thereby acquired the statutes of legitimacy, it fell upon the pursuer to prdve she was not a lawful child of William Bell. The proof of her character of legitimacy prepon derated over the negative proof adduced by the pur suer; and the Jury returned a verdict in favour of the Defender. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS, APRIL se.
