EXCIWIGE or PARIS, MARCH 12.—The Remits opened, au rampant, at 99f. The end of the month, our. 60e. The party in favour of I /on Carlos, If we may believe , the following letter from Bayonne, is increasing at Madrid, where, it is added, the King is in great disgrace with the Ultras, for his lenient policy. The i llihrenicine Zeilung, under date of Corfu, February 11, says, that since the 2uth of January three ships have arrived from England at Mis solunghi, with arms and ammunition for the Greeks. (Inc of the last numbers of the Hellenic Chronicle, published at Nlissoloughi, the subscription to which is six dollars, con tains a justification of Prince Maurocordato, respecting the affair at Ithaca, which may be recominended to all the friends of the Greek cause. Lord Byron has written to Colocotroni, and received from him a very flattering an swer, which leaves but little doubt of the approaching fall of l'atras. Colocotroni calls himself in this letter a true son of Greece. The Greek Smate has resided for three weeks at Tripolisa. 11sirowits, 111*ae11 The accounts from Madrid of the 29th ult. state that the capital is tranquil; yet it cannot be dissembled that a certain fernienta tion exists—that the party of l)on Carlow becomes daily stronger ; it is even reported that letters received by an express announce that the Swiss regiment has left Madrid for Seville, because, it is added, Charles V. has been proclaimed in that great city, where the King is disliked by the Ultras, because he has not been severe enough. The accounts from Andalusia will be more interesting every day. On the Nth two royal volunteers were hung at Madrid, being convicted of having committed robberies and assassinations, both under the present Government and that of the Constitution. On the unto day, five robbers, who gave themselves out for an alcalde and his attendants, entered the house of a holy, whose emu and legs they bound, after threatening to stab her if she spoke ; but while they were busy itt packing up their plunder, the lady found means to crawl to • cabinet looking towards the street, where she began to call fur help. The robbers, alarmed, fled with what they could take ; three of them vanished, • fourth was knocked down by a gendarme, and the other, thinking to find an asylum in • church, threw himself at the foot of the altar. The French gend'arme, without consideration for the place and the privileges which crindhals enjoy, and to the great scandal of the devotees, began by disarming this man, whom he then took to prison with his comrade. Then, according to custom, the officers of justice arrested all the neighbours of the house. It is said that the people were much irritated at this event ; they would rather see crimes unpuaislieJ than their privilege attacked. Accounts from Utuliz of the 10th affirm, that according to let• ten from Jalappa of the tith December, three Catalonian vessels, one laden with paper and brandy, the other with divers merchandise, bad been admitted into the port of Alvaredo, on payment of the import duties. The castle and the city continued in • state of hos tility, but the six vessels lalen with men and a 1111 l iunition, sent from the llavannali, hail already arrived. There is no more thought of the departure of the garde* du corps. On the contrary, their 'stay is prolonged indefinitely. The amnesty will certainly appear on the 10th of March. The establishment of the sinking fund is going on, and hitherto only a credit of twcr.ty millions of malt has been found to laj the fOundation of it. We regret to know that there appears to be a very gene ral alarm throughout the numerous Forty interested in the silk trade, at the recent measures so deeply affecting that interesting branch of our manufactures, proposed this Ses sion by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The important changes introduced by the Finance Minister of this country, and funned to affect the silk trade in particular, are founded, we are convinced, on the best and soundest prin ciples of commercial and national policy. Yet, situate as the silk trade now is, and with the competition and skill of the French manufacturers at Lyons and elsewhere, before the eyes of the manufacturers here, joined with the pre ference that notoriously prevails for foreign silks in this country, w. are not surprised that the trade in general have taken deep alarm, and deprecated, as full of danger, the regulations in question. It must be always a matter of doubt, and of serious deliberation, how far the free importa tion of any foreign goods ought to be restored, after the interruption to them has long existed. When any do mestic branch of manufacture has, by means of high duties or prohibitions upon all foreign goods which can come in competition with it, been so far extended by the home demand as to employ a multitude of hands, hu inanity and policy both require, that the freedom of trade, if again conceded by the Legislature, should only be re stored by slow gradations, and with the greatest possible reserve and circumspection. Were the prohibitions and ' restricting duties, that fetter importation from France and other countries, taken off at once, cheaper foreign goods of the same kind would be poured into the market, in such quantities as to deprive at once thousands nf our most industrious artisans of employment and the uu•ans of subsistence. The silk manufacture is certainly that which would suriln. most by the repeal of those re strictions. The hum trade would he injured also, but not :early so much as the silk; but those manufactures, of which a large proportion is exported to other countries without any bounty, could be little affected by the most unlimited importation of the same fabrics from abroad. Such manufactures, to command the foreign market, must be sold as cheap as the goods of that country of the same quality, and consequently they must be generally supplied much cheaper at home; they would, therefore, still keep pt11144.83i011 of the home market, and no sensible impression could take place on the general employment of the people. Our woollen and cotton manufactures—cutlery, hardware, and other goods, are annually exported, in large quantities, to other countries, without any bounty, and employ many thousands. They staid nnnpletely above any competition from abroad, and have nothing to fear from the most un limited freedom of trade. Consumption is, in fact, the only end and purietic of all pro•luction, and the iuter ests of the manufacturer ought to be protected only so far as they promote these of the consumer. In' ~_ t i ) the mercantile and fiscal system, however, that has long prevailed in this country, the interests of the community, who arc the consumers, have been sacrificed ; and production and not consumption seems to have been considered as the great end and object a all industry and commerce. In the numerous restraints on the importation of all foreign commodities, which might interfere with those of our own growth and manufacture, the interests of the consumers at home are sacrificed to those of the pro ducer. The community arc heavily amused and saddled with that enhancement of price, which an unjust monopoly of this sort must always occasion. The manufacturer alone is benefited also by the bounties granted on the ex portation of his produce. The home consumer has to pay both the tax necessary to meet the bounty, and a higher price for the same commodity in the home market. When any country oppresses, by high duties or prohibitions, the free trade of other nations, it injures at the same time its own interests most deeply ; by raising the cost of foreign goods, and of all manufactures, it sinks the real value of the surplus produce of its own land, with which, or the price of which, it purchases those very foreign goods and manufactures ; next, by giving, in a great degree, a mono poly of the home market to its own merclian'.! and manu facturers, it raises the rate of profit in both instances, and draws from agriculture a part of the capital, which would otherwise have been devoted to it. Agriculture is thus dis couraged by the rate of profit being raised in other ernp'.oy ments and lowered in that; and men are thus tempted by their own interests to turn their capital and industry from agriculture to manufactures, as more profitable. Every trade and manufacture has barn goaded with legislative enactments ; the woollen manufacture, the great staple of the country in particular, has been fenced round with pro hibitions against all foreign competition. The importation of woollen cloths from any foreign country is absolutely interdicted by law. The sheep fanners and growers of wool are also prohibited from Cr porting either. The im portation of French canibrics and lawns, except into the port of London, to be warehoused for exportation, has been long forbidden. higher duties also are imposed on the wines of France, than 011 those of Portugal or any other country, by one Act : called the Impost, so early as 169'4 a sweeping duty of five-arid -twenty per cent. was laid on all French goods ; in four years after, 1696, a second assessment of 35 per cent. further, the first not having been thought a sufficient prohibition, was im posed oil all French goods, except brandy, with an added duty of twenty-five pounds on every tun of French wines, and fifteen pounds on every tun of vinegar; scarce a session has since passed, with the exception of these last few years, in which sonic additional prohibiting duty was not laid on. The French, in their turn, adopted the same system towards this country and others. Such a system constituted a great part of the policy of the cele brated Colbert. That Minister, by the tariff of 1667, in particular, imposed very high duties upon a number of' foreign manufactures. The Dutch, in consequence of his refusing to moderate them, pi ohibi tod altogether the impor tation of the wines, brandies, and manufactures of France. The war of 1672, between the two countries, was in part occasioned by this commercial dispute. The peace Of Nimeguen closed it in 167 S ; and several of the duties were moderated in favour of the Hutch, who, in consequence, took off their prohibition. It was about this period France and this country began the war of mutual prohibition, which has been since kept up, until the restraints on both sides have extinguished almost all fair commerce between the two countries; and smugglers are now almost the sole importers of French goods into this country, or British goods into France. This ungenerous and impolitic system it, we trust, broken in upon, and we hope to see a did', rent policy prevail. It is for the mutual benefit and character of both nations that it should be so. The proscriptive tariffs that destroy their mutual commerce are equally in jurious both to France and Great Britain. We shall pro bably return to this most important subject again. Yesterday morning the Duke of York attended Divine Service at the Chapel Royal, and heard a sermon by the Bishop of Peterborough. The anthem was composed by Dr. Bovee--" Where is Wisdom to he Found?" which was sung by Master Wesley, Messrs. Sahnon, Vaughan, and Clarke.

It is not to be wondered at that the novelty of a comedy, supported by the literary reputation of its author, the Rev. Croly Ow he is the author, and not Mr. Soane, as has been elsewhere asserted), should attract a few crowded houst a. It will, we doubt not, for these reasons, with all its imperketions, have a run. We arc still, howeter, of opinion, that it presents few pretensions to be classed with the comedies of Sheridan or Congreve, with which it aspires to rank ; nor indeed does it contribute anything to enhance, or even sustain the credit for drama tic ability, which the tragedy of CaWine and other literary performances of Mr. Croly acquired for him. Some of our contemporaries say that it is the best comedy that has been produced upon the stage for acre. al years. This is equivalent to the compliment of telling the author that he is a " w:t amongst the dunces;" for what comedy of merit has been, for several years, produced at either Theatres? Miss l'atona syren voice, and Jones's vivacity, are the redeeming qualities of the comedy. Mules followed, in which Mr. Sinclair 's celebrated song of Prue Goody was honoured with a triple encore. It was his admirable and original execution of this song that first made this culti vated singer a favourite with the public. DI BDI N'S MONUMENT. The intense interest which this undertaking has created in the musical world, is almost beyond precedent; there are but few int tubers of the profession who have not already offered their services in any way in which they may br useful, and the funds are receiving considerable acqui sitions from their liberal subscriptions. Most of the re apt ctable music sellers have undertaken to receive donations. II undreds who were disappointed in obtaining tickets for the Festival, are anxiously looking forward for a second, which it is understood must take place, but which it is properly determined shall, for the present, give place to the l)rury- Lane Theatrical Dinner. Report speaks of a benefit at t'ovent Garden, at which the Opera and Farce will be Dibelin's, and many of his best songs will be introduced ; and if the public feeling is to be at all consulted, such a step is highly necessary. We see no reason for confining the true enjoyment of his music to those classes who can pay a guinea or two for a dinner; nor is there any absolute necessity to shut out the Ladies from such an intellectual treat. Such a step would not only be popular, but it would be productive also, and make the monument the work of a greater number; besides, there is something so truly in cha racter in raising a monument from the actual productions of the man's own inimitable talent. The subscriptions are highly flattering, and it is said that the monument in con templation is to be of marble, sevente7n feet in height, comprising a single figure on a proportionable pedestal, w hich is capable of being finished either plain or figured, ac cording to the amount of the subscriptions. The Journal des .11Iudes and New Lde,ary Gazette of Saturday, speak ing of the model, says Dtaan.or rue: Pat NC Ens or Co S IW.—This Princess, who had long ban suffering under a painful illness, died at Paris on the afternoon of Wednesday. Them is now but one descendant remaining of the celebrated House of Conde—the Duke de Bourbon, the brother of the deceased Princess. The Princess (Louise Adalaide de Bourbon Conde) was born in 1757, October 5, and entered the mo nastic life at Turin, in 1795 ; and after the restoration of the Bourbons, she became the head of a relicious establish ment in the Temple at Paris, where she eoWed herself, as the Etude tells us, to perpetual " adoration, with t h e tru l y ' Christian object of expiating the. crimes of the Revolution, on the very spot where the must horrible of all or thesn'had been committed."

AMERICAN PAPERS. A file of the United States Papers to the 15th of Fe bruary arrived yesterday ; they contain little of Neutral in terest. The New York journa's of the 11th contain some interesting documents on the subject of the naval peace establishment of Atomic'. It is evident that the necessity of increasing the navy is powerfully felt by the Gore'. mcut. We copy the following observations from one of the papers alluded to : NAVAL PEACE ESTA RLISM ENT. Much of our paper is this day occupied with the surer of the President sod the report of the Secretary of the Navy, relative to a naval peace establishment. Our readers will see in these papers, as we think, the suggestions of sound and patriotic minds on a sub. ject of deep national interest. It scents now to be universally con, ceded, that a navy of some sort is an essential put of our system, and tne main question therefore is, how this 'entice can be rm. tiered most efficient, and at the same time most economical On both these points the Views of the documents before ua appear to have been well and deliberately weighed, and deserving of the ut. most consideration. With respect to the first point, the efficiency of the navy, the most important step recommended is, the creation of new grades, to which, as to high prizes in the lottery, all may aspire; and by means whereof the difficulties arising titan officers being sub ject to the orders of others of equal rank would be done sway. These only who have had some little experience in such matters can accu rately judge of the derangement to any ger, ice on land or ma, which seems inevitably, as it were, to wow where officers are placed under the command of their equals. The cautious and reluctant obedience which is yielded, the quibbling and captious spirit of supposed equality which is constantly displayed, and the deternu. nation of never going further than the meted letter of duty re. quires, in fulfilling the commands of their co-equal chiefs, all tend to destroy that harmony and concert of action, which are essertisl to efficiency and discipline in peace as in war. From these cor d . derationa, and front others which are ably enforced in the report of the Secretary, he recommends the creation of the new grades of Commodore, Rear and Vice-Admiral. As to the second point of economy, by the reduction of the num. bee of navy yards and stations, and partietalsely of those on Lakes Erie and Champlain, which can never be required Resin, by gee. dusting the pay of officers when employed et on furlough, and by other arrangements, of which the details will be found in the report, a large and more effective force can henceforth be employed, thaa that now existing at the same espense. WEST' INDIAN ISLANDS. • (From the Heimoshire Teleorepk) The following is an interesting extract from a letter written by an intelligent young officer of one of his Nlajesty's ships employed on the Leeward Islands station : BARBADOES, JANUARY 10. In our passage here we touched at the principal Islands. We first went to Carthagena and Santa Martha, in the Republic of Colombia; and, like all other places on this aide the continent of America, it is dull, depopulated, and desola e. (tutu the long struggle they have had fur their independence, but which is at last accomplished. The last place the Spaniards had on the 'hole line of coast (Porto Cabello) has jus: been taken by assault; but ibis country is fir, very far, from being in a tranquil state. Noss the common enemy is destroyed, it bids fair to be, like other provinces. a prey to internal wan, to satiety the unprincipled ambidoo of sonic of its leaders. From the former place we gave. elated l/evereux a passage to St. Domingo; a man of no small notoriety, who is retiring front the service of Colombia, with • pretty little fortune. I never was more disappointed with a man who is so well known, and spoken of in almost every country : be is, in my opi nion, far from be ng a man of universal knowledge a td intelligent. From Carthagena we went to St. Domiugo, by tar the most in. teresting, and of greater magnitude than any of the West ladies. r tut, of course, recollect the horrors of revolution which were com mitted here during the reign of terror, through the shonotightedm licy of the execrated Robespierre. Cape Rayner, (the espied of the island under the reign of the late Chrix.ophe) is the remains of s moat beautiful city, of great extent : there are ruins of most superb edifices and ;daces built of freestone brought from Bourdeaus, which remain since that time in a state of dilapidation. Christi*, the late King, I consider to be one of the great ones of our times : he originally was a alive, and ran away front his owners, who Weft planters at St. Christopher's; and, although he could neither reed nor write, modelled the army and laws, erected building., founded institutions and hospitals, and formed a weer,' of educating throughout his territory on the Immasterian plan, and procured clever men from England to assist him in all these projects : be built a superb palace at the foot of • very steep and high moun tain, which exceeded almost everything in grandeur and riches internally, the external appearance being ...y plain, and not good architecture ; and, on the pinnacle of this mountain, he built ea immense fort, 111.11Inting nearly MO picas of cannon, with barracks for 10,000 men, h od magaziness of provisions for five years, which were actually deposited, it being his intention , should the French ever make a landing, to blow up the town, and retire, with his forces, to this.wonderful structure t it certainly is the greatest wan. der 0: - flue western world ; and this is only one instance of a great many, of the astonishing natural powers of his mid. They say, the labour and fatigue, under a tropical awn, was so excessive, Si to cause the death of eight thousand of his subjects, who were em ployed in dragging the immense fragments of sane, cannon, /cc. I dined with • Gentleman who was his Una Physician. and who at tended him in his lost moments; and he agreed with me, that had his wonderful mind been enlightened by a liberal education, he would have been one of the greatest nine that ever lived ; whereas his reign was very much clouded by the most atrocious acts of cruelty and oppression. Ile died about three years ago. Ilk had been superintending the improvetnems of -a Church, with his head uplifted for some minutes ; the blood rushed to his head, nod, oa moving front his position, he fell down senseless, but, with timely bleeding, he was slowly recovering. The populace thought this a good opportunity to revolt, and rid themselves of the tyrant: they rose, and sumundell his palace, with the intention of putting him, his family, and attendants to death. Directly he heard of this, lie ordered his horse, with the intention of heading his Giaards which, had be in, xt much was he dreaded, his yell, ap pearance would have driven them away ; but in this he failed, be ing so much reduced that he could not mount. Ile then retired to his chamber. took a pair of pistols, leaned age net his bed, and discharged them both at his heart. The gentkorso I nientioved before heard the report, and ran immediately into the room. a• he suspected the thirst. the King having inquired, the day before. which was the oast vital part to nave instantaneous death. With hint ended the monarchy. Their government is formed from that of the United Mates: Priori is their president, whom I had the honour of waiting on. lie is a little black man very shrewd and inquisitive, excessively polite ; indeed, the tertect Vrecchnian ; • very humane, good matt, and, if any thing, is government is rot mild for such a nation of slaves, who are now the possessors of large property, which they once 616;1 as their oxen do now. It woos• ly is the place fa tire cool nieditarion and reflection of the piste's°. pher, to see the wonderful powers of nature—men who were born in the oust abject state of slavery, now filling the situations of Se arteries of State. (lencrala, and all the ditfvrent posts of Doran. mer t with the greatest etiquette. It is, however. certainly molt* to a man of liberal principles. to ase, as in moat inatances, the human species sold by public auc , den in the middle of the streets, and their different qualities shown off and felt s which I have actually seen in the streets of Kingston (Jamaica); but, in my opinion, it is one of those things which an necessary evils, for if they . were not obliged to work from 'hot state of slavery, the proprietor would find it difficult to cultivate his estate. 'l'hey are like the inhabitants of all very warm cli mates, naturally indolent and lazy ; and so little do they requite is the shape of necessaries of lite, that the earnings of one day would, In all probability, suffice them foe • week.
