For, in the year 1774, the exports from Great Britain to the United States bore the proportion of fourteen per cent. of those to all other countries. The esports to the West Indie,, which Ate justly valued as the richest possession of the Crown;were at that time 7 7-Sibs per cent. and the ex . ports of those Colonies were bu: 2 percent. In 1824, upon an average of the 10 preceding years, the whole amount of our exports was 235 per cent7More than it was in 177-1. Ts e exports to the United States, on the same average, have increased 245 per cent. and are no w 141 per cent. of the whole. The exports to the West Indies have in crease.] SOO per cent. and are now 9 2-8 per cent. of the whole ; and the exports to these colonies on the same _average have increased 455 per cent. and ate now Si per cent. of the whole. With reference, therefore, to our whole exports, the comparative increase of the propor tien which these several countries now receive above . the pinportion received in 1772, may be measured re _ spec•ively by the following figures, viz.—four for the United States; eleven for the West Indies; and twelve' far the colonies; and with reference to the amount I received the comparative increase in 1824 above 1772, is respectively as forty-nine for the United States; sixty for the West Indies; and ninety-one for the co lonies. In 1772 the proportion of British shipping emploted between Great Britain and the now United States was 7 8-10 per .cent. of our whole tonnage cleared annually. The proportion to the West Indies was nine per cent and that to these Colonies 1 3-10 per cent. In the year 1824 (on an average of ten years), the . tonnage of the whole shipping cleared is found to have increased one hundred and sixty seven per cent. above the amount cleared in 1772. That employed to the United States has decreased 5 5-10 per cent. and is. nowi. 2 2.10 per cent. of the whole. That w the West ladies has increased 189 per cent. and is now 9 7-10 -per cent. of the whole; and the tonnage to the Colonies has increased 2,370 per cent. and now forms 12 4-10 I, per tet.t. of the whole foreign navigation of Great Bri t 'hi, including the vesAs cleared for Ireland. As far, therefore, as cur navigation: is concerned, the advantage mow derived to us from the United &MC, and the Not tb American. colonies respectively, compared with that of .. the year 1772 may he represented by the following quantities-5.5 for the former, and 411.1 for the latter, . and the difference in favour of the Colonies is 4.16.6; that is, as nearly one sixth of our whole foreign ton nage is to 0. .

As it is to be supposed that these people are sure of dis posing of their goods, it is inferred that the next campaign will be on the same plan as that isrst ended, and that the measures said to be taken in Little Wallachia and Servia are only a demon stration in favour of the main army.

Thursday night, or at an early hour yesterday morn ing, =daring burglary and robbery were attempted in the shop premises of Mr. Benjamin Firth( r, hosier, Rut land-street, by some miscreant who must have secreted himself in the war:moms before locked up at night.— Early in the morning the interior of -the shop was found in a state of confusion, several articles scattered about, others tied up with the design of being reme, - ..ed, and two panes of glass in one of the win do• s bro!ten ut.

Fortunately this presented an insurmountable barrier, otherwise a large quantity of plunder might have been carried off, by which the respectable proprietor would have been a serious sufferer. Many conjectures were made during the day, and many sot mises hazarded, as to whit could base become of the robber, how he had disposed of himself, or where he had effected an egress.
