The commercial intercourse between the United States and our Colonies in America is, it seems, again become the subject of negotiation. It was boped and believed that this question had, by the Act 7th Geo. IV, cap. 48 (1825) and the Order in Coun cil, which followed it in July, 1826. been permanently settled ; not, indeed. upon the best terms to be desired, but perhaps upon the best to be obtained; and in which aU parties interested—the Colonists in the West Indies and North America, the ship owners, and British metchants—acquiesced, and have since been exerting themselves to make the most of the cenditiuns established. For it is with the regulations of commerce, as with the rules of pro perty—scarcely of more consequence that the law be wise, than that it be certain and permanent. Such a state of things, however, was by no means equally agreeable tolhe Americans. They immediately attempted to open negotiations for a change. Fortunately there happened at that time to be in the Foreign Department a statesman who, whatever might have been his other errors, was at least exempt from any misunderstanding of American questions, or of the policy and character of their Government. His answer to Mr. GAllatin upon that occasion is much and deservedly celebrated, and gave the highest satisfaction to all interested in colonial affairs, particularly for one sentence most important to the present question; an ex press declaration that, " after what had passed on the subject of colonial intercourse, the British Government cannot consent to enter into any renewed negotiation upon the intercourse between the United Stain and the British Colonies, so bong as the preten sions recorded in the Act of 1823, and there applied to British Colonies alone, remain part or the law of the United States." This document, published by Government, seemed designed to communicate their final resolutions, not only to the United States, but also to our • own subjects, by whom it was balled as an additional assurance that they were not mis taken in trusting to the faith of the late Act and Order which had become a part and supplement of the same law), and in under standing the new colonial system as settled and permanent. But the then Foreign Secretary did not rest there ; and, as If he thought that assurance not suMelently. strong, In added also that " the British Government owes to the spirit of frankness which it wishes to Cultivate in all its relations with the United States to declare shit, after having been compelled to apply to any country the interdiceprescribed by the Act of 1825, the British Govern ment cannot bold itself bound to remove the interdict as a matter of course whenever it may happen to suit the convenience of the foreign Govertuneui to reconsider the measures by which the application of that interdict was occasioned." Now, unless this Was merely an empty threat intended to intimidate a foreign Power by the unnecessary denial of what could never have been impiied, It was intended as a *f r aming to that Paver, and it operated, by publication, u an anoraks to us that Government would constantly adhere to the -new taw, and exciabilhe /lie; ,`lcUs from the colonist trade, even though they tiiiiiiiiValsad And yet the circumstances under which Government had intl. mated that they sifould still adlitre to the new Act and Order. even though the Americans repealed their law of 1823, are un changed—are fn more favourable to such an adherence—and stranger still, the American law of 1823, and the pretensions it asserts, till the repeal of which, and for the repeal of which Go vernment declared thty would nit enttr into any negotiation, are unrepealed—nay, are reinforced by Acts interdicting the entrance into American ports, and departure therefrom, of any British colonial vessel. Now is this mentioned merely to show the in constancy of our Government, and the indignity of entering lots the present negotiations ; but it is at the same time a great grievance to the North American colonists, and a most unfair surprise. For it having been understood and published by both Governments that the trade was to be regulated by the legislation of Other ; and ours having declared that the first and preliminaty step must be the repeal on their part of their Act of 1823, and that they would have no underhand negotiation before, the colonists have naturally been locking only to the Acts of the American Government, and' have been embarking in this trade with the greater security, lids dreaming of any secret arrangement in Downing-street; as they saw that, even'if any charge were made, the method prescribed would interpose so much time as to enable them to have their representations heard, and, if unsuccessfully, enable them, in some measure, to extricate themselves, and prevent the distress arising from those sudden and extreme changes by which they have for merly suffered so often and Ea much. What the temptation is, what irresistible allurement, the Ameri cans have invested to bring Government to this sudden revolution, and to parley with them about conceding rights of trade, apon which all negotiation has been so repeatedly declined, cannot, in deed, be exactly known, but from the publicity of the Republican Government may be safely conjectured ; and our present purpose is to discuss the nature of these proposals, and measure and weigh their real value and effect; and particularly to compare the im portance to the British dominions of the West India trade under the existing system, and the consequence of conceding that trade to the United States. But first it would be well to briefly review the commercial intercourse of these colonies at former period', and I note the changes made, and their results hitherto ; for the alteta lion now proposed is not one of those beautiful theories of free trade which, no nation before having been so absurd as to apply, or apply by beginning at the wrong end, cannot be contradicted by past experience; but in this case it is by observing how wantonly, bow Ignorantly this trade has been sported with heretofore, sod bow much the imprudence of Government has already cost us ; bow much their facility and negligence, their inconstancy and sud den and violent changes of policy; and bow often and egregiously we have been duped, over-reached, and fooled by the Americans. It is by considering these that we can best judge what we have to gain or lose by preserving the colonial intercourse upon its present footing, or again surrendering that source of wealth and maritime I power to the most aspiring of our rivals. GERMAN PAPERS. ODESSA. Nov ! 25 To our great joy (says our Journal), we have nothing new to communicate to our readers respecting the plague. The tollowing changes have taken place in the Lazarettos:—Four persons in fected have died in the Provisional Lazaretto, and symptoms of plague have appeared in ewes others that were brought in as suspi cious; a woman has died in the quarantine in the harbour; a ship from Songful has just arrived in the harbour with two persons sick of the plague, and three dead." Yesterday afternoon two frigates, under the Turkish Hag, east anchor fee wrests from our harbour—one bears an - Admiral's flag. This morning t►e guard ship sent off a boat to make inquiries, which returned with a hoot having on board a Turkish officer, who had several letters for the Governor-General. I his boat was brought into quarantine. The officer said that one of these frigates was caned the &kalif Rexene, and had on board the Turkish Ambassadors for St. Petersburgh, namely, Held Rif. e, Visit. and Lieutenano.General of the Turkish Armies; and &id Suleiman Negib, Privy Councillor, and Keeper of the Seals of the Divan.

We regret to state that Gadd accounts dated the 4th of May, have been received from Indore, announcing the death of Capt. Spears (o9he Madras FAtahlishment,) Local Agent of flopawur.— This event took place at Banswarra, :suddenly, on the lit of May, under circumstances strongly presumptive of its having been occa siont.d by poison. It would be premature to detail the native re. ports that were afloat on the subject—suffice it that a strict inves tigation was being sit on tout into the whole affair. Letters have been received from the north•east frontier, dated the 21st May, reporting that the inhabitants of all the principal villages belonging to Rajah Teerut Sing had come in and made their submiition to the thitish Govercrozut. On lbe a hth I%Lsy Captain lister proceedid with a part of ffis deffictiment to the country of Bur- Manick, the Rajah of •Muleem, who was understood to have taken up a very strong positicn at No gundee, with from two to three liuntivetl' followen. Captain Lister, with hii party, arrived before the village of Noguodee on the 20th, about three p.m. It Is dittoed on a rocky height, to which there is an immediate steep ascent of about three hun dred feet, and the summit appeared crowded with people. The height and village were soon taken possession of, but the party found that beyon4 it was a steep valley, and another anti inotedif height steonglyNnttlenebed and fortified with a small stockade, tee. Having, after a good deal of opposition,socceeded in occupy ing a point on the enemy's right !lank, and enfilading several parts of their works, the detachment shortly afterwards got possession of the whole, driving the Cossyahs. with considerable loss down a precipitous path into a valley three thousand feet beneati. One of Bur-Manick's sons was among the slain. Our loss consisted of one seapoy killed and five wounded ; but we regret to add that Mr. Assistant-Surgeon Becton was dangerously wounded in the face with as arrow. _ .... _ GOVERNMENT SECURITIES.
