Carr - the consumeiion of sugar be increaser), so es to make any beneficial impression upon the 5*,000 hogsheads for which, under great disadvantage to the' Revenue, a partial sale is now forced upon the Cons tinent of Europe ' and of which the residue is accumus lacing as as a fund, which checks the industry, and blasts the efforts of these colonies? Your petitioners also bring under the notice of your Honourable House the peculiar hardships to which they are exposed by the partial and oppressive impost of 4j per cent. on all their exported produce. By a. principle, in contradiction to the prevailing liberality of his Ma jesty's Government, as well as to the wisdom of your Honourahle House, this imposkis continued to the most exhausted and impoverished colonies ; whilst Jamaica, with her internal resources, which make her independ ent of foreign supply; and Trinidad, who has lately been draining themselves, favoured islands of thousands of their labourers; and the recent acquisitions of De. merara and Berbice with their inexhaustible soil. are exempt from this fiscal duty ; the wretched islands of this GOvernment, and some others under the same sad influence, are exposed to its unequal operation. Your petitioners know not by what authority this tax was imposed upon this island. They do not regard the departure from that which is alleged to be the original application of this fund. They complain of this burden es partial and oppressive ; as a check upon their anxious industry, and as preventing a lair competition in the ' market with more favoured colonies. If it be con tended that it is the price of immunities granted by . the Crown, in what do they.consist ? What privileges do ' , these islands possess that are not enjoyed by their most prosperous neighbours? It is at least incumbent upon those who permit the tax, to chew that the colonies which are subject to it have advantages which are de nied to those who are not. But your Petitioners hum bly submit that they enjoy no privileges that are not the birthright of every Briton. That they ought at least to be allowed to go into the market as unfettered as their more prosperous neighbours, and that the in justice and impost are too manifest to require further elucidation. And your Petitioners moreover complain, .that the Act 4. Geo. 111. ch. 15, whereby a duty of 7t. is laid upon every tun of wine of the growth of the Ma deiras, imported into these colonies, which is to be paid into the receipt of his Majesty's Exchequer, and toge ther with other duties of the said Act imposed to be entered separate and apart from all other monies paid or payable to his Majesty, and to . be there secured, to be from time to time disposed of by Parliament towards defraying the necessary expenses of de fending, protecting, and securing these colonies is at variance u id; .the Act of 13 George 111. c. 12, whereby it war declared 66 that the King and Par liament of Great Britain will not impose any duty, tax, or assessment whatever, payable in any of his Majesty's colonies in the West Indies, except only such duties as it may be expedient to impose for the regulation of commerc , ., the net produce of such duties to.be always applied to the use of the colony in which the same shall be levied, in such manner as other duties collected by 'the authority of the General Assemblies of the colonies are ordinarily paid." It was scarcely to be expected that that, which was so solemnly abandoned in princi ple should be upheld in practice. And that the Par li 'mem, senouricing injustice for the future, ahould tolerate, sanction, and continue that which was already framed and organized. Aad your petitioners further represent, that this duty, which ought to have been teseried for the exclusive benefit of this colony, should be considered as ample indemnity already in the King's Exchequer ( f indeed indemnity can be expected for such an injustice) for the 4i f per cent. duty. That your petitioners approach the remaining sub ject of their complaint with full confidence that the energy of your Honourable House will for ever put down within its walls the attempt which is so covertly, but so successfully contributing to that result which must exterminate one class of his Majesty's subjects in these colonies, and familiarize the other with all. the barbarities of savage life. Upon this subject your Ise. titioners exercise the privilege of speaking openly—they at once acknowledge the paramount authority, as by law established,of the King sGovernment, administered by responsible servants, and of a responsib:e Parlia ment ; and if these colonies were the victims of a power which is recognized by the Constitution, they could only deplore in silence that they are deprived of those bless ings and of that equal justice which thei r h a ppy f orm of - Government promised to all. But your petitioners protest against their fortunes, their character, their safety, being abandoned to the controul of an ascendant party, which is composed of some Noblemen of the highest rank, of several well-intentioned and of many Obscure and crafty individuals, a party which, as it seems to your petitioners, has been allowed upon all subjects of colonial policy to have a fatal influence on the deci sions of his Majesty's Government, and even upon the deliberate wisdom of your Honourable House, and whit); still urges on, in despite of the streams of blood which it has made to Row, its rash and relentless mea sures, so as to defeat the benevolent purpose which your petitioners entertain, and hereby to retard or frustrate the moral and religious improvement of the slave, which can .alone qualify him for the entire possession of his civil rights—a party, which in scornful allusion to the calumnies which it propagates, has designated the slave as its friend and brother, and has placed itself in merciless and unchristian hostility to the move unrortanate master, and which in its display al cheap benevolence towards one class of men, has deviated from the principles of common justice towards another. Your petitioners lay out of your considera tion all these circumstances which the highest legal opi nion would authorize them to urge. They do not rely 'upon those facts, which no man can deny, 64 that per sone' %Lavery arising out of forcible captivity, is coeval with the earliest periods of our -history of mankind; that it is foOnti existing, and, at far as appears, without animadversion, in the earliest and authentic records of the human race. 'That it Is recognised by the codes of see polished nations of antiquity. That under the light of Christianity itself, the possession of persons so ac eeired,has been in every civilized country, invested with, the character of property, and secured as such by all the protectioni of law. That solemn treaties have been framed, and national monopolies eagerly sought, to facilitate and extend the commerce in this assorted property, and all this with all the sanctions of law, public and municipal, and without any opposition, ex cept the protests of a few private moralists, little heard, and less attended to in every country till within these 'very few.years in the mother country of your petitioners. Such considerations, from such authority, undeniable as Ahoy sue, form no part of the case of your petitioners., THE EVENING STAR LONDON. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6,18 S. STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

We are of therefore, that the English Funds are now gradualisy settling down to their natural level, so as that the investment of money in those securities will average a profit of 34 per cent. per annum, at which it is.pro bable, they wili remain, while the increasing commerce. manufactures, and agriculture of the country are likely to afford sufficiently extensive employment for the ordinary surplus of capital, which, in the shape of savings, finds its way in the first instance to the Stock Exchange- We insert in another column a private letter received in London yesterday from Corfu, dated 11th of August,l and which, with one exception, though evidently the performance of one who w fishes to believe the best of the Greek cam*, seems founded on authentic details. Three facts, of great importance to the ultimate suc cess of that interesting contest, seems sufficient', cre dible : Ist. That IHRAHIM PACHA COHtifiliti with his, diminishing army in a most precarious situation; and notwithstanding his well-known ability as an ezperi enceJ• and brave Commander, it would seem that the active and cautious leaders of the Greek population had beset him so as to render his retreat extremely hazardous. 2dly. It appears that Mi•sol•bnghi had re ' puled the desperate assault of the Turkish bzsiegers, under circumstances which evince the most heroic reso lution to persevere in the struggle, in defiance of all ad versity. 3dly. It is very probable that the blockade of the port has been raised by the Greek squadron, who were about to pursue the Turkish fleet; and of the event of a, reneounter between those two armaments, if they shall meet there can be but one opinion. • It is, however, added by the writer, that on the re-, ceipi of thest cheetiag details at Onfti, the it Orthy Lora .

This palicity is fouikleJ on the nature of the case, as the Prussian State is by no means disposed to aim at a monopoly of the Getman trade with Canton, but, on the contrary, makes all these essays with a view of shewing to the nterchaq•s of tl - e sea•putt towns, that a well-conducted evterprise may afford ample profit. After the publi_ cation of this teport, which, it is to be loped, will no t he long delayed, interesting comparisons may be made with the expense and the profit of the English and Dutch enterprises of the same kind. FRANKFORT, AUGUST 29. A Treaty has been concluded between the Duke of Oldenburg and Count Bentinck, relative to the Lord ship of Kniphausen. In consequence of the various political events, the relation of this Lords) ip with the German Confederation, are not precisely determined, nothing having been decided respecting it, either in 1815, by the Allied Powers, when the Duke of O.den. burg took possession of Jever, with which Kni phausen had been united by. the French, or subsequently by the Congress at Vienna.

The party, nay the very individuals, within the walls of your Honour able House,who advocated the cause of the abolition in the detestable traffic in human beings, paved the way to their honourable success by a declaration that the emancipation of those already in bondage formed no part of their project. That which was then stoutly de tried, is now as openly avowed. Nor do your petition. ers complain of that avowal; but heavy as the claims are upon their f•rbearance, and great as arc their sacrifices, n it will scarcely be expected that they shouldi crin fi de ira those who have thus ab an d one d t h e ir solemn professions. The same individuals now call upon the nations to effect the emancipation of the West Indian slave, and their proposal is qualified by the equitable conditi•tn of tali indemnity to every iuterest that may be injured thereby. Your petitioners cheerfully accede to the proposal ; but they pray your Honourable House that they may net be made the instrument of accomplishing this desirable object, by the surrender of their property, which, wretched as it is, l'as been the tolerated, the approved, the encouraged object of law, and sanctioned by all the security that can be given to interests of the highest and most respected character. That your petitioners, though shackled with extreme wretchedness of con nexion with West India property, will not submit to the imputation of any degradation therefrom. That they are alive to the same honourable feelings, the same moral obligations, the same sense of religious duties, which their adversaries assume as the unnatural founda tion of their enm i ty. Your petitioners therefore pray your Honourable House, that the duty upon their exports may be re gulated by the scale as suggested by the Committee of your Honourable House. That tea s exhausted colony may be relieved from the partial impost of the 4.1 per Cent. duty. The sum which has been levied upon Madeira wine imported into this island, ever since the declaratory Act of the 13th Geo. 111. ch. 12, may be disposed of by Parliament towards the defence, protec tion, and security of this colony; being the objects for which the said duty was originally imposed; and that the interests of this country may not be abandoned to any authority or influence which the constitution does not recognize. And that no alienation of property in this island may be sanctioned, but on the principle of full and fait indemnity to every interest that may be injueed thereby. And your pedtioners shall ever pray, &c. (Signed) JOHN W. D. WILSON, President of the Council. W. WHARTON RAWLINS, Speaker of the Assembly. NISCFLLANEOVS.

FRENCH FLEET IN THE !VEST IVEIES. The following is an extract of a letter which was re ceived yesterday at the Jamaica C' fee brute. " Kingston, Jamaica, July 13. " The Scout sloop of war, Captain Wigston, which arrived at Part Royal yesterday, from Barbadoes and St. Thomas's (the last in seven days), has brought information that a French Beet, con. sitting of eighteen vessels, with pennants flying, and several trans ports, having troops on board, had • sailed from Martinique for Cuba, to take possession of that island for and in the name of the King of Spain, so as to prevent its failing into the hands o f t h e Co nobians'or Mexicans. Official information to that effect is said to e been communicated officially by the French Coniul at St. " as's to the Governor of that island. he Hussar frigate s Captain Harris, was dispatched this mo ng, by Admiral Halsted, it Is said, to put dispatches on board the Rinaldo packet, which sailed yesterday - for England ; and the frigate will afterwards proceed to the coast of Cuba, to ascer tain at what porta the French will land; St. Jago, Trinidad, and tie Havannah are those conjectured here. The Thracian sloop of war sails in the morning fur .Enghnd with dispatches, and will touch at Havannab, no doubt, to ascertain it-sof of the feet have ar rived there." (This intelligence is much weakened, if not deprived of all credit, by the fact that the Thracian, after touching at l lavarnah, which she left on the 2.141 of July, has since arrived at Purtsitrath, states that she saw nothing of thif fleet. The French squadron is that which was last heard of at Port-au-Prince]. Mr. BRGUOKAM has been edjoying the amusement of grouse shooting in Westmoreland after the labours of the Nor thern Circuit. M. GIBEAU, the AttOrney-General for the Court of Cassation in Park, was seated on the Bench yesterday, with R. J. CHAMBERS, Esq. at Union Hall, and seemed to take great interest in the proceedings. He remarked that the mode of dispatching business before the English Police Magistrate, differed •ery materially front the manner in which it was conducted in France. Advice* 'to the 18th July, received from Sierra Leone, afford proof of the persevering activity with which the hateful traffic in buinan beings is still car-• ried on by men who disgrace civilization. A vessel laden with slaves was met with at set in distress by the Roxburgh Castle, East Indiaman, which took posses sion of her, and carried her into Sierra Leone. The Judicial Commission, which is permanently established there, will no doubt do justice to the parties engaged in the illegal trade: and, what is more gratifying, the unfortunate beings who had been dragged into capti vity will be restored to freed,.m, and instructed in civi lization and religion. Workmen are busily employed in erecting a hand some bridge over the Serpentine, at the eastern extre mity of Kensington Gardens ; which, when completed, will add greatly to the beauty and convenience of Hyde Park.

In a short time after, a billow came rolling over the vessel, ,and swept himself and his couch overboard. The boat fell on her bottom in the sea, and being unfired,sailed swiftly with the tide towards a rock that projects into the ocean a considerable distinct from the shore, and rises to the height of eighty or ninety feet perpendicular.— The poor fellow, seeing his danger, was observed to stand up and wave his hand for assistance, but soon after his little bark was dashed to pieces against the rocks, and he was never seen. more. He has hit a wife and family, to the number of eight, to lament his loss. . ..
