N I i they had taken no Steps to countervail those charges in their ports; boj did ihfollososhat they would continue mu% if a qtastap thj nt rest had been disturbed, • liy increasing those charges in the manner suggeated ?, In my opinion, to leave the question at rest, as long as possible, was the wisest policy for this country. It was the policy pursued until the matter was taken up, not by us, but by the United States of 4merica, and in succession by other Powers. In that state of things, and after the arrangements which we had entered into with those powers, acting upon the necessity of the case, I felt, in the course of the last Session, that it would be better to make our laws upon this point square with our practice;—better, as one general rule,—first, to tender to all nations alike, and indiscriminately, equal facilities of commerce and navigation, and equal inducements to visit the ports of this country, with their merchandise, either for our own consumption, or in the way of transit 4eatrepik) to other parts of the world:—secondly, tp abolish all discriminating duties affecting differently the like productions of foreign countries, and, in lieu thereof, to establish one uniform tariff for the whole,—and, thirdly, to reduce that tariff to the lowest degree, con sistent, in each particular article, with the two legitimate objects of all duties—either the collection of the neces sary public revenue, or the. protection necessary for the maintenance of our own internal industry. These are the principles according to which our new Book of Rites has been formed, and t' e consolidation of our innumerable, and, in many instances, inconsistent and contradictory Laws and Customs been affected. (Tu be continued.) GREECE AND TURKEY. FROM THE PRIM' PAPERS. The Etoik of Monday contains some intelligence from Greece. An individual who was at Naxos rit the end of July had seen several thousand re fugees from Caudia and the Morea collected at that place, where four vessels of war were preparing. On the 29th, the celebrated Canaris arrived, wounded in the hand, the arm, and the shoulder. He had quitted the Greek fleet the day before, and after having had his sounds dressed, intended to join it again on the 31st. His•fireships had not injured the Turkish vessels, which had not, however, succeeded in landing the troops which • they conveyed, on the island of Samos. The Turks h id, in fact, twice made the attempt, and been twice defeated. Count d'Harcourt, Mr. de la Vigne, and three other French volunteers, had reached Milo on the 21A of July, and were preparing to repair to Napoli di Romania on board of an Ipsariot brig. On the 25th, the %English frigate Seringapatam had visited Samos, and taken away the British Commercial Agent and his family. Two lonian vessels had also received on board —2OO yersons whom they had conveyed to Syra and other islands in the Archipelago. The Turkish fleet was then in sight. Ott the 27th, the Gieeics appeared before Samos with 36 vessels, There was between them and the Turks an engagement, the chief result of which was to prevent the latter from attempting a third landing. It was reported at Smyrna that it was through the me • dium of the American ships that the last summons of • the Captain Paella had been communicated to the Sa inians. The Turks bud burned the town of Athens, ' and rent the prisoners which they made to Eubeel.— Letters from Chio of the 31st of July state that the hostile fi:ets were in sight every day, and that frequent cannonades were heard . - There is alsO some intelligence in this Paper from Constantinople, but it is anterior to that whisk we re ceivi d a few days since. It communicates, however, ii' re, o t which would be important, if it turned out to be c rrtct. This is nothing less than that war had' broken out between Russia and the Persians, and it is added that the individuals of that nation residing in the Turkish capital expected most anxiously the snivel of Tartars from the frontiers of Georgia, to know exactly what was passing in that quarter. The Persian Mo narch had repaired in June last to the camp of Oudjan,' ten leagues S. E. of Tauris, whilst his eldest son, Prince • Abbas fhfrza. had marched with his troops to Nakhtchipvan, on the bank of the Araxus, and Hussein Khan S rdar, Governor of Irewan, had taken post with his corps on the frontier of both empires. The object of arse movements, said, as usual, to have been dictated by British influence, is stated to be the recovery of the provinces of Aghistan, Chirwan, and others formerly belonging to the dominions of the Schaz, but gradually . swallowed up by Russia during the last forty years.

At that period the Coronation had not taken place, and not only is no reason given to accohnt for the delay, but although fetes and military reviews are described, the subject of that important ceremony, which bas called the ErtitEßOß, and Ambassadors from the whole civilized woild, to the resuscitated capital of ancient Russia, is no longer even mentioned. At St. Petersburgh a new Ordonnance has been just published respecting the Censorship of the Press, which had received the Imperial sanction on the 22d of June last. It consists of 19 chapters, divided into 230 sections, and fills 12 printed sheets. Admiral SCHIRCKOW, Minister of Public Instruction, is Director-General of the Censor ship throughout the Empire. Next to him are the Mi nister of Foreign Affairs and of the Interior. A general Board of Censorship is to be establishei at St. Peters burgh, under the Director-General, and there are to be subordinate Boards at Moscow, Dorpat, and Wilna. The Chief Board consists of a President with a salary of 7,000 rubles, and six Censors, each with a salary of 4,000 rubles. The other consists of a President with a salary of 4,000 rubles, and three Censors with a salary of 3,000 rubles. The Chief Board has its own Chancery, at the head of which is Prince SCHIRINsKY SCHIOHMA row, Director of the Ministers and of the Chancery.— The President of the Chief Board is appointed or dis missed only by his MAJESTY. He proposes the Cen sors, whom the Minister is to confirm. The other Boards are under the Curators of the Universities, by whom they are to be nominated, and confirmed by the Minis ter, who will communicate to them the Protestant de cisions. The annual expense of this new censorship will be 90,150 rubles (the old committee cost only 5,3.50 rubles). The jurisdiction of that Board extends to all books and periodicals published in the Empire in the Russian or in foreign languages. Besides this the. pre sent Committee of Censorship attached to the General Post Office shall be continued for foreign newspapers and other periodicals, and that attached to the depart ment of the Minister of the Interior for all foreign books and writings. The chief Board receives orders only from the Minister who directs it, and has not con nection with respect to its jurisdiction with any other authority in the Eriipire, and directs the operations of the ether Boards. The latter must lay before the for mer for consideration and decision all important cases, political distassions on the internal and external re lations, &c. Exempt from the Censorship of these Boards are : !. All religious and ecclesiastical w risings relative to the national religion, Which:at heretofore, are to be examined by the Holy Synod and the Committee of Ecclesiastical Schools; theological and dog matic's! we its well as catechisms of the Protestant religion, are csantineti by tke Theological Faculty of the University of the Dorpot aad other religion works relative to Protestantism by the Con sistorial Boards. 2. AU medical writings, which are to be etamined by the Medico Cbirurgical Academy at Sc. Petersburgb, and by its branch Ace &atria Moscow, as well as by the Medical Council In the Depart ment of the Interior. 3. The Oration a, .Dissertations, and Writings of all kinds read in the Uniaersidepp Academies, ace. under the Minister of Publk Instructloa, ( j ncluditig the Medico Cbirurgical Academy, its branch in Moscow; anti the Medical Council in the Department of the interior), and which Dissertations, &c. are afterwards printed The publication must be however made in the name of the whole University, and not in that of the several authors. 4. All periodical Journals published by the Universities with the permission of the Minister of Public Instruction. 5. The journal de St. Pelersburgh, the Journal composed by the Academy of Science, the Military Journal (The Invalid), remain as hitherto under the censorship of the Authorities, under whose su. perintendance they are published. 6. The national and foreign Newspapers, as well as periodical writings published in the Baltic provinces, remain under the special superintendance of the Governors General of those provinces (as ordered by an Imperial Decree of 17th March, 1823). Writings on Education, the object of which is the instruction of youth or better methods of teaching, must beim examined by the higher learned institutions, and then with their approbation tried before the Board of Censorship. FRANKFORT, Sm. 1. We cannot yet say anything positive with respect to the fair. We hear that several large sales of English manefactures, especially woollens, have been made, and, it is added, and under the circum stances is probable, upon reasonable terms. With respect to wool, which, in so many respects, is one of the most important articles at our fair, the result of the late fair at Brunswick encourages the hope that the present fair will prove more favourable than the last Easter Fair; and notwithstanding the large supplies, better prices are confidently expected. In general, every thing indicates that there is an improvtment in the state of the money market, and in the commercial world, as it daily becomes clearer that many appre hensions hitherto conceived, had their source in a troubled 'magi. nation. Nay, it seems as if the general despondency which prevailed a few months ago as well on the Continent as in England, has been taken advantage of by a great many persons to gratify their low F i ssions of envy and and enjoy a malicious satisfaction at the expense of ethers. We have received the E.toik of Monday's date. The only news which it contains relates to the state of Turkey and its capital, at and before the 10th of August. —,---- The news from Greece is very afil cting. The Turks are said to have burnt Athens. The Colonial Times, from Hoban Town, dated the 14th of April. has been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The following are extracts : HOBART TOWN, Arm. 14.

His Royal Highness's complaint Is what is called the " Hay Fever," from its generally coming on in the hay seasons He has been afflicted with it for many years, but the last attack has been of so very severe a nature, as to excite the most alarming appre hensions for his safety.

A little Court scandal is making a great noise at Rio Janeiro. It is stated, the Estrous is highly dissatisfied with her Royal Consort, respecting some family arrangements, and also at the Royal Decree, lately issued, proclaiming the illegitimate daugh ter of the EMPIIIIOI4 by the Viscountess s—s, Duchess . of Govan. The &mass had solicited permission to return to Eu rope on a visit to her family; the request was peremptorily refused. Saturday evening, a gang of fellows rushed Into the shop of Mr. Sykes, a butcher, of Winchester. street, and stole a piete of beef, weighing about 20Ibs. When Mr. Sykes interfered to protect his property, they knocked him down, fractured his arm, and he was otherwise so much injured, that he was conveyed to the Hospital. Mr. Ellis, a celebrated hop-grower, has, at this time, opwards of four thousand poor persons employed in picking and drying bops, in his very extensive gardens at Barming, near Maid •stoue, Kent. They are principally from London and its neighbour. hood. The hops were never liner or more abundant than this season has produced. . The people of the United States affect to despise titles, sod yet none are fonder of being called Excellencies, Judges, Your Honour, The Honourable, Colonels, Captains, &c. and to address a letter to any decent person in the United States without dubbing him an Esquire, would be the greatest of affronts. Cc um Encs.—Letters from DAntzic state, that a very sensible effect has been produced in the corn markets t Stocks are reduced, and pf ices high. At St. Petersburgh tallow buyers at 96—sellers at 100 ; little doing. Riga markets stationary. Coffee and Indigo scarce, stated from Constantinople. Coffee, sugar, and tallow, at home, firm, and improving in price. Exchanges favourable. Although the account of the dispersion of the caravan. with which Major Lanni was travelling through the African desert was obtained through a high channel, still there are hopes that that traveller has reached Timbuctoo without injury. A letter, dated Tripoli, June 18, states that the Bashaves kiloliter of Foreign Affairs had communicated to the writer of the letter the fact that Major Lama had reached Timbuctoo " safe." No further parti. cobra are given; but letters were expected at Tripoli from the tra veller about the Sth July. At an evening party last week the conversation turned upon the personal &inactions possessed by a popular actress. A Lady baying observed that the face of the actress in question had become so brown since she had been in the country, as to destroy all trace of beauty, one of the company remarked, " That it was not at all strange she should be browos since she bad been so often touted." ,114 .

DINNER TO LniuD MELVILLE. Friday, a splendid dinner was given to Lord Mel• vine, by the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Council of Edinburgh, in the Royal - Hotel, for the purpose of tes• tifying to his Lordship the grateful sense they entertain of the important services rendered by him to the city, 'in many public measures connected with its prosperity, and especially in the arrangements recently adopted respecting the port of Leith. Tne company was nu. merous and respectable. About 90 sat down to dinner. • The Lord Provost was supported on the right by Lord Melville, and on the left by Lord Abercromby. There were also present Lord Binning, the Lord Advocate, the Lord Clerk Register, Barns Hume, the Solicitor-General, Sir John Hope, Sir John Dalrymple, Sir John Erskine, Sir Philip Durhpm, K.C.B. Sir Henry Jardine, Colonel Thaclaray, Colonel Thornhill, Colonel Farquharson, Keith Douglas, Esq. M.P. Captains Taft, Stoddart, Deans, Wauchope, and Hodgson, R.N. the Commissioners of the Leith Harbour and Docks, the Honourable Henry Hondas, M.P. for Rochester, the Honourabk Charks Ihmdas, Mr. R. A. Dundas, Mr. Buller, &c. dce. The Lord President and the Sheriff were prevented, by in disposition, from attending. After the usual preliminary toasts, the health of Lord Melville was proposed by the Lotto PROVOST, in terms of great feeling and eloquence, in which he alluded to the deep interest his. Lordship had always taken in every thing relating to the welfare of Scotland, and of this metropolis in particular, and especially noticed the great personal labour he had bestowed' in making the arrangement, now so happily carried into effect, re specting the port of Leith ; an arrangement calculated to benefit the public at large, and to increase the re venues of the city of Edinburgh. The Lord Provost alto very feelingly adverted to the obligations Scotland owed to the father of Lord Melvil!e, from whom he might be said to have received, as an hereditary success sion, that regard for its interests which he had so nobly and amply exemplified. Lord Matvii.ca., in that dignified, powerful, and im pressive manner for which he is so much distinguished, replied to the topics alluded to in the Lord Provost's address. After personally complimenting the Provost for the able and successful manner in which he had discharged the arduous duties of his high office, he proceeded to state his attachment to the interests of this metropolis—his anxiety .to promote its prosperity by every exertion in his power—his satisfaction at finding that what he had done had met with approbation—a satisfaction enhanced by the recollection of the long and intimate conntction that had subsisted between his family and the city of Edinburgh, and added, that he should at all times be gratified by having an opportunity to exert any influence he possessed in favour of its im provement and advantage. The health of the Lord Register, the Member for the city, being drank, lie,wade an eloquent and appropriate reply, in the course of which he dwelt upon his obligas tions to Lord Melville, to whom he was much indebted for co-operation and support whenever he had occasion to apply to him on the affairs of the city of Edinburgh. To the toast of 4 1 His Majesty's Ministers," Lord MeLsrita.a returned thanks for himself and his collea gues, and stated in an energetic manner, the great anxiety they all felt, in a time of no common difficulty, to adopt and pursue those measures which seemed best calculated to promote and secure the prosperity of the nation. The healths of the Lord Advocate, Lord Abercromby, Lord Binning, the Solicitor-General, and other distins guished characters present, were successively proposed, and followed by appropriate replies. To t ehat of the University, Professor Wilson returned the thanks of his colleagues in an eloquent manner. The evening was spent with the utmost harmony and coon. viality, and the noble guest and Isis friends left the room at a late hour, apparently much gratified with the conduct of the entertain meat, and the attention which bad been paid them. The following, it is confidently stated, will be the new Law Appointments consequent upon the death of Lord GIFFORD: Sir John COPLRY, the present Attorney. General, will be Master of the Rolls; the Soticrroa- GENERAL succeeds Sir JOHN COPLRY in the office d Attorney. General ; and Mr. TINDAL will be appointei Solicitor-General. The Marquis of HERTFORD is enjoying the sports the country, at his seat in Suffolk. where his annual guests are soar bled, with the exception of the Duke of YORE, whose state of MA will not permit his Royal Highness to indulge in severe exercise.
