We cannot, this cccasion, refrain from pressing on, the atten ion of merchants and manufacturers the necessity - of ‘lte:Aing to the cautions given by the writer. It is t fact not to be doubted, that a great part of the distress exFerienced, for these two or three years past, s attribotablo to the folly of individuals in forcing goods into the market, by senditg at random, large consignments to foreign agents. Commerce can never attain to a state of healthy vi B cur v.hile such a system of folly is pursued by traders. We also insert smile extracts from New York Pa l'ers, t• thel6th December, received this nioriiing. rxrilACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER, DATED PHILA DELPHIA, DECEMBER 22, 1819. " I have great pleasure in informing you, that .ftlair; en this side the Atlantic do not now wear so gloomy an asl.ect as when I last wrote. Trade be itts revive, and confidence among the Merchants is considerably restored. The return of Spring will, I trust, put matters on a still better footing, and ex pand the channels of commerce. Much, however, depends on the line of policy which this Govern ment may adopt towards South America: we have every reason to expect, that our Executive, tired out by the bad faith and chicanery of the beloved Ferdi nand, will, ere long, declare in favour of the Pa triots : and although they may not chose to identify .11cnaselves, in an open manner, in the quarrel be tween the Colonies and the Mother Country, they will remove all restrictions as to the supplying the munitions of war, and whatever other necessaries the Insurgents (as they are termed by some) may stand in need of. This would indeed be hailed with joy, ficnn one end of the Union to the other, as it would open an inexhaustible field for lucrative commercial , peculation; and could not fail in proving highly be- Leficial to England, in every branch of her exten- Manufactures. Notwithstanding the fcr.bearance that has hitherto marked the conduct of our Executive, as it regards the contest between Spain and her Gtlonies, time is a , ,t an American, from the higheA Officer in the (;:ivernment down to the humblest labourer, that not in his heart favour the cause of the Patriots, 4,;d execrate the thing that seeks to subjugate them. I) !I - last accounts from the Paaiotic armies, dispel fears of the ultimate issue of the contest; read every rational ground to anticipate that it -t teriiinate favourably ete the close of the ap _,aching year. The l'atziots are gaining an acces of strength on all sides, while their eppol.ents, tile contrary, are daily becoming more feeble insignificant. . ii " Notwithstanding wilat I have said as to the irn . i):•••:ved aspect of affairs, I must caution you and v i :•,..:T• friends -..Tot to be too sanguine in your expecta •••. ror too lavish in your shipments for the Spring , • ket. Commerce, thoogh coosiderablf revived, weak and feeble, Ind will require. some time t '' at..ain her .fornier vigour. Above all avoid the 4 " •r: by which so many became severe sufferers the last two years : do not assist in glutting the markets with coarse and interior goods, as suck, under present circumstances, will not pay freight and duties. The finer fabrics of both woollen and cotton goods, linens, stuffs, Birmingham and Shef field ware, are now in better request than for a con siderable time past; but inferior articles, of all kinds, are quite unsaleable; and such, I understand, is the case at every other mercantile depot throughout the Statek." NEW YORK, DECEWIRER 26. IN THE SENATE. Mr. SANFORD, from the Conimittee of Ccmmerce and Manufactures, made a detailed and elaborate Re tort on the official statements which had heretofore been made of the Commerce of the Gaited States with foreign countries, and the provisions which are requisite for obtaining complete and accurate ac counts of the foreign Commerce of the United States, accompanied by a Bill to provide for obtaining ac curate statements on that subject, which Report and Bill were read and passed on a second reading. IN CONGRESS, DECEMBER 20. Numerous Petitions were preserited this morning, and referred. Amongst them were several from different Northern towns, praying additional encou ragement and protection for domestic manufactures. There were also several from commercial sections of the country, praying -the enactment of a general system of Bankruptcy. ' DECEMBER 21.—A Message was read from the President, relative to the true intent and meaning of the Act of last Session, entitled an " Act in addition to the Acts prohibiting the Slave Trade, as to the duties of the Agents to be appointed on the Coast of Africa." The President states, that no seizures of slave vessels have yet been made by our cruizers ; that it has been decided to send a public ship to the Coast of Africa, with two Agents, who will take with them tools and other implements necessary to form a Colony on the Coast of Africa, tor the pur pose of ameliorating their condition, and where slaves may be sent who may be found on board of American ships violating the laws-of the country.

At 9 o'clock this evening we received the news of the arrival of :WOO Spaniards en the banks of the Sabine (all mounted) and within 50 miles of us, they have driven all before them on the march from St. Antonio, and burnt all the villages; they have driven the remainder of the Republicans in all directions, and put several to death.

The Deputy Earl Marshal's Order for a General Mourning for his late Royal Highness the Duke of Kent : In pursuance of the commands of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, acting in the name and on the behalf of iris Majesty :—These are to give public notice, that it is expected that upon the present melancholy occasion, of the death of his late Royal Highness Edward, Duke of Kent and Stra:hem, fourth son of his Majesty, all persons do put themselves into decent mourning, the said .mourning to begin on Sunday next, the 30th instant. HENRY HOWARD MOLYNEUX HOWARD, Deputy Earl Malin!. ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, JANUARY 25. His Royal Hig'haess the Prince Regent does not require that the Officers of his Majesty's Fleet or Marines should wear any other mourning en the present melancholy occasion of the death of his ►ate Royal Highness the Duke of Kent and Strathern, than a black crape round their left arms wi h their uniforms. J. W. CROKER. HORSE-GUARDS, JANUARY 9-5. It is not required that the Officers of the Army should wear any *du r mourning on the present melancholy occasion, than a black crape round their left arms with their uniforms. By command of his Royal Highness the Commander in Chief, HARRY CALVERT, Ailjutant-Cenral. The melancholy tidings of the death of his Royal Highness reached Wiuisor'on Monday morning.— An express having also reached Bagshot Park with the intelligence, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER arrived at Windsor soon afterwards, to condole with her Sisters. The Duke of YORK arrived at the Palace about five o'clock. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER left the Palace in the evening, on her return to Bag shot. Soon after the arrival of the dispatch of the death of the Duke off. KENT, so universally was his Royal Highness beloved, that most of the shops, in the town were half-closed. Dr. MA TON, who attended the late Duke, arrived in town yesterday morning, from Sid: moth. The Doctor waited upon the PRINCE REGENT about three o'clock, and had a long interview with his Royal •Highness upon the subject of the fatal illness of his departed Brother. . Dr. MATON afterwards waited upon the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE. The Doctor also called at York House, but the Duke of YORK had not then returned from Windsor. His. Royal Highness did not arrive till late in the after noon, when he immediately waited on the PRINCE REGENT, at Carlton House. The Duke of CLARENCE also visited the PRINCE in the course of yesterday.— The LORD CHANCELLOR, the Earl of LIVERPOOL, and Viscount SIDMOUTII, had likewise audiences. We are informed by a letter from Sidmouth, dated Sunday evening, that their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of KENT and Prince LEOPOLD intended leaving the scene of affliction yesterday morning:— The remains of their lamented relative will not be removed for some days. It is said to be in contemplation to call a General Meeting of the Heads of the different Public Esta blishments which the *Dgke of KENT particularly patron?zed, for the purpose of testifying, by some mark of peculiar distinction, their deep regret at the loss of their illustrious benefactor. The Duke's patronage, as our Readers must be well aware, was as discriminatory as it was extensive ; and, perhaps, a more eloquent tribute could not be offered to his memory, than is contained in the simple enu meration of -the titles of the Institutions over which he presided. His Highness was Joint President of the Society for Propagating Christian Know ledge in the Highlands and Islands, and among the Indians in America. Patron of the African and Asiatic Society for the Relief and InStruction of the Natives of Africa and Asia, resident in Lordpn and its Vietnity. Vie Patron of the Royal Westminster Infirmary.

Captain C. left Tonga Bay Ist of September ; the Commander of that place told him, that on the 2.9 th August, a Patriot Squadron of one ship, a sloop of war, and a brig, had sailed. against Pay ta, taken it, and burnt the town; that the Patriot•army had taken the'city of Chillan, and a number of small towns near it, in one of which they had put every male inhabitant to the sword, and were in full march against Valdevia. Lord Cour KANE had again sailed with a. squadron against Lima. FROM TILE comatEficLa ADVERTISER, DECEMBER 23. On Tuesday afternoon, about three o'clock, James Stoughton, Esq. son of the Spanish Consul, was met near the corner of Courtland-street, by Mr. Robert Goodwin, of Baltimore, and in a reneontre, provoked by the latter, was stabbed through the heart with a sword-cane, and expired in a few minutes. The Charleston Courier states, that orders have reached that port directing the Military force to re move to Amelia Island—a dash at the Floridas Is conjectured. A Leeward Island Mail arrived this morning.— The packet sailed the 7th of November from Barba does, and the Ist of December fi om St. Thomas's. The intelligence from the Main is very unfavour able: business is at a total stand; ships are waiting in every port for freights; and those arrived out can not dispose of their cargoes. Extract of a Letter from Grenada, dated Novem ber 14, 1819, received this morning: " For several day, previous to the 13th October, the sky in dicated an approachiag hurricane. It rained most of that day, and at night iiicreasvd so much as to represent one falling sheet of water. The great river St. Andrew rose to an extent lever before witnessed, exceeding in height, by three f,-et, the memo rable 21st of Oc;obtr, 1317. " Throughout the whole Island the care-fields, provision grounds, negro-houses, and on some estates the works, have selfered incalculable injury. The canes, which had already suffered much by a lung duration of dry weather, have been so much injured as to pres,:nt a gloomy prospect for the ensuing crop. An extensive supply of flour arrived a few days after the hurricane, which dispelled the apprehensions of an imme- 1 diate fuming." We have•noticed the iraprovement in Trade that has shewn itself in the Manufacturing Districts. We Letters have this morning been received from have, however, to correct a mistake on this subject, which has been circulated in the Newspapers.

It commenced at the top of the house, in which were some rags, by the servant dropping a candle among them. The upper part of the house was speedik enveloped in flames, and before the engines could be .brought to play upon the tire, had fallen in. It nearly half an hour after they arrived- before any water could be got. By the great exertions of th.., firemen, however, the flames were prevented from spreading any further than the two upper room s , so that, at half-past eleven, no further mischief was ex pected. A num:ons gang of thieves had collected round the spot, who received the goods as they were thrown out of the win2ows, and handed them to their accamlices, who made off with tEem.
