It is, on the contrary, fearfully on the increase—and we dread the approach of a second crisis. We say not this with the view of raising alarm, but be cause, as met and as Christians, we are bound to exert all the power we possess to point out the danger, in order that it may be warded off by an instant and effi cacious remedy. The public mind is about to be occupied with schemes for imps oving out system of paper currency, both in town and country,which are said in a tone of au thority to be under the consideration of his Majesty's Mi nisters. Ti ue or false this opinion has the effect of aggra vating the present evils. la the uncertainty of the nature and extent of those schemes, the bankers are compelled tt ps oceed with the utmost caution. They have already weathered a dreadful tempest, in which a great number of their most powerful companions have perished. Etch of those who survived the storm has been obliged to look to his own safety, and withhold assistance from his fellow-sufferers, whom he would otherwise have relieved. But now that hi, sinking ship has been towed tinier jut y-masts into a place of temporary sakty, he finds, in a projected alteration of the law of the country whete be harbours, a new source of peril. He will, therefore, look to himself alone, until well assured that he is beyond the reach of danger. Does not this state of things demand an instant remedy ? Again, the distress of the poor arti,ans connected with the manufacture of British - silks is intense, ovei , whelming, and intolerable. Their masters most unfairly attribute the existing misery to the ai-proaching introduction of Foreign silks. But how stands the fact ? Two years ago the duties on raw silk amounted to the enormous sum of ss. GI per lb. Such was the . enceuragement afforded to in dustry by our ancient preposterous system of VIM. memo! We tAted the raw material raised by foreigners to promote its introduction hither :—to ei:- courage native ingenuity in its fahrication—and to facilitate its consumption among the wealthy of our own land! Our Legislature, by this obtot to emanation of folly, placed its sigt.et on the well-',ead of in dustry, lest the waters should flow • forth abun dantly, and fertilise the surrounding pl.tin. The consequence was eviJent. Tate beautiful silk ma. nulictute3 of Fiance and Italy •weie • imported clan. t icttine . y, to the total ruin of the fair afiLl liont.utatule ItiaJer, who could not stand the -competkion. N in_the power of man to de s ‘ise, could for a moment interrupt the contraband wade, however de m lralizing in practice And dishonest in principle, hen its gains were so enormous ; mote especially during a 'period of peace, when inte; course with the adjacent coast was, among the people of this country, a mania, and when the tuffi in smuggler had for his allies and Tellow-labourers, the noble and the weslthy of our land —when, from the high born coronetted dame, down to the humble citizen's wife, all ranks were, by thousands and tens of thousands, engaged in illicit importation. In this situation of affairs the master manufacturer s in England declared, in solemn dero itions, that they only wanted a supply of the raw material on the same terms as the foreigner, to drive him out of the market, by the united effect of the capital which they could command—of the credit to their con signees which they could extend—thous which ad vantages a:e enjoyed here to an extent beyond all comp.' icon g, ester than Fi ance can afford for a century to come) ; and last, not least, by the superior industry and skill • f the British a otkman. Their request was complied with—!he stone was rolled from the well by the perseverance anJ firmness of our intelligent Minister. Fom a duty of ss. 6L per lb. on raw Silk, there was only retained a duty of a few halfpence, merely sufficient to pay the expense of registering the quantity imported. Moreover, the Treasury was opened to refund all the duties on the stock of manufactured goods on hand ; and two years time was given to prepare for foreign competition, together with a protecting duty of SO per cent. What followed?the manufacturers import ed raw silk to an extent which could only o' iginate in in sanity. By this prodigious folly they raised the raw mate rial to a price three times as great as the duty withdrawn. Under these disadvantages they bring their commodity to market at a high price, and in overabundant quantity, so that the warehouses are glutted. Naturally, then, the looms must cease for a season, until the excessive stock on hand is expended.' But is this fairly to be attributed to the introduction of the foreign commodity ?—certainly not : it is the effect of individual avarice and injudi cious speculation. Or have the manufacturers the lonscience to expect, that while they are relieved from the duty on the raw silk, they are also to have a monopoly of the wrought material ?—are they to sell the British silk at whatever price they please? and are the people of England to have no choice 11 obtaining the commodity from another mar ket, even although it should be of better quality,cheaper in price, and admitted to consumption on a duty of SO per cent. ad valorem—thus benefiting the public revenue, and filling up the chasm created by removing the tax from the raw material? That chasm must be filled up from some source of taxation or other—and tale question is simply, whether the nation at large is to bear the loss, or whether the particul tr trade, which is di rectly benefitted by its having been incurred, is to en joy the ancient tax as a bounty in perpetuity ? There can be no industry, or incentive to ingenuity, where there is . no competition. If it should be said that we shall have British silks so much the cheaper if foreign silks are excluded, we deny the conclusion. It is contrary to common sense and experience. Have we, in fact, found any benefit from the removal of the Duties on Malt and Leather? Is our porter stronger and lower priced? Are our boots and shoes any cheaper? We know the con trary. Unjust, however, as the clamour is, which imputes the present distress of the Silk Trade, to the measures for liberating our foreign commerce from the trammels of monopoly, it is still no less certain, that the innocent workmen of that branch of industry, and their helpless families, are in a state of the greatest misery. The poors' rates of their respective parishes are insufficient to air ad them even temporary relief. They have applied for the aid of private subscription. But this remedy is slow, and very uncertain of effect. They must not perish in a Christian country ; and as the cause of the suffering ie extraordinary, and must be temporary, so also should he the nature of the relief. Let Government be immediately empowered to lend the Pa►ishes so overburthered, a sufficient sum, to be raised by the sale of Exchequer Bills at higher in terest, and the interest and repayment o! which to be secured on the parish rates. Thus, if the ordinary rates of any parish are 20,000 i. and if that parish can afforJ to raise the rates to 21%0001. for the next tap years, the sum of 32,7001. may be immediately aivanced to that Parish, on no other security ; and, by'the surplus 4000/. a year, the febt will be cancelled at the end of ten years. By the arrival of the Tern-us, PALFREY, at Havre, intelligen - e has been received from Buenos Ayres to the 13th November. A privateer, under the flag of the Banda Oriental, having quitted Buenos Ayres to cruise against the Brazilian commerce, the Bi azilian commander had declared that he could not any longer regard that R-- pubic in the character of a neutral. A strict blockade of the port of Buenos Ayres had in consequence been com menced, which was se effectual that it was with difficulty the Ternaux made her escape by n'ght, leaving behind several tolls of her freight. The privateer which had sailed under the fl ig of the Banda Oriental was pre viously a Baltimore Mader, purchased of some men.' chants of that place, who had made an offer of another vessel the same class, which it was proposed to dispatch on a voyage to the East Indies, for the chance of falling in with some of the 131 azilian Indiamen, on their voyage homewai ds. The marine o! Buenos Ayres, if that Republic posbes.es anyt . .ing deserving the name, is at be.t weak or ini fficitnt, a • d fe as are, therefore, very justly expressed that th it n w position with respect to Btazil will ci an - p tl.e gmwir g commerce 01 foreigner. with them, by deriving k of the neceisaty protection. The affairs of Greece begin to look a little brighter, but the great disparity in the force of the belligerents forbids us entertaining a sanguine hope that ;he war will be soon terminated. According to the accounts in. the French Papers last received, lanatrita PACHA, after several attempts to force his way to Missoloughi by land, in which he was defeated with considerable loss by• s, had suddenly embarked on board the Egyp, tian vessels, and 1 inded near Miss°longhi. Scarcely had he reached the walls of that heroic city when he ordered a general assault, hoping to carry it by surprise but the Egyptians were beaten back at all points, and compelled to retire within the SBRABKIER'S entrench ments. As IBRAHIM retained that position, and a naval. force blockaded the place by sea, the want of provi sions began to be seriously felt, when the re-appearance of the Greek fleet put the Turkish ves els to flight, and the communications being restored, Missolonghi was re-victualled. Accounts from Ithaca state that Admiral S.acn•rouuis having fallen in with two Turkish frigates, and a convoy 'of twenty transports, in the waters of Chin, burned one of the frigates, disabled the other, and captured the whole of the transports. An Egyptism division which landed near Salona, was defeated by she gallant and active Goua*s, and compelled to re-em bark, after losing great numbers. At a late hour we received the Hoak of yesterday by Express. It contains some news from S , . Peters. burgh to the Bth inst. stating what is already known, that the First Army and the Army of Finland, have taken the oaths of allegiance to the Emper..r NICHOLAs. Prince EUGEtts of Wuttemberg has been appointed to the command of a Grenadier ltegiment. By a public order of the 7th instant, the EMPEROR has testified his satisfaction to Captain PUBYSKOFF. The Prince of ORANGE passed through Berlin un his way to St. Petersburgh, on the 17th inst. On the 25th ult. the Emperor of RUSSIA reviewed the garrison of St. Petersburgh. Letters from that capital state, that the town of Kiew, is the centre of the Russian Carbonari. This forenoon we received Ilanibtrgh Papers to the 21st inst. and Dutch Papers five days later. They con tain little intelligence from Si. Petersburg!), but it ap pears the arrests continue in the Russian capital. The accounts from Batavia are contradictory. The report of Austria forming a cordon sanitaire on her Turkish frontier is confirmed, and is attributed to the prevalence of the plague in Moldavia and Wallachia. The fol lowing are extracts : LEYDEN, JAIL *2. According to a letter from Batavia, of the 3d Sep tember last, (says our Courant). for the authenticity of which we can answer, the state of things in Java had taken a much more favourable turn at the end of August. The insurgents had been twice defeated with great loss, by which their courage has been great'y damped, and the fear of bad consequences is moth diminished in Batavia. The Javanese who have been induced to revolt begin to submit. I consider, says the writer, at the conclusion of his letter, that the crisis is over, and though some time must pass before tranquil. lity is restored, I believe wt are as good as masters of the insurrection. However willing we may be to give full credit to this satisfactory news, a confirmation of a later date is much to be desired, because the last unfavourable accounts received by way of England, are of the 15th September, and consequently more recent than the preceding.
