(Extract of a Letter from Philadelphia, April 40.) " The present Bill before Congress, concerning the increase of duties on Imports, expected to take pl&ce in June next, will make an advance of duties on one article, namely, British Linens, of from 15 per cent, to 25 per cent. ; and if the article is of low quality, and the duty of 25 per cent. on said article does not amount to 6 cents. and one quarter per yard, an addition is to he added, that it shall amount to the 6 cents. and one quarter." (Extract of a Letter from New Providence, Feb. )5.) " On Wednesday last, Mr. JOHN SYMONELL arrived here from Andros Island, bringing with bins a person who calls himself REYNALDO DBL. , VILLA; it appears that this man with five others, arrived at Andros Island in a boat, stating them selves to be the crew of en American vessel wreck ed on the lsaar Rocks, but through other circum stances which occurred, induced him to suspect that DELVILLE was one of the crew of a piratical ves sel captured lately at Green Key, which proved to be the case ; for, after their being examiners at he Police Office, DELVILLS acknowledged to baring been on board the Jeune Creufr,.but only as a passenger, carrying dispatches from General LONG. of Texas, to Sir GECORGE WGREGOR.— DaLvxLLE appears to be a shrewd and intelligent man. He also states he has a Commission from some of the South American States. After this declaration be was committed to prison." By the last accounts from Batavia, it was re ported ►hat the Government were in expectation of receiving a reinforcement of 6000 men from Holland ; and when they arrived it was expected another desperate attempt would be made in the Spring on Palembang. The Sultan had sent seve ral flags to negotiate a Treaty with Admiral WAL• TERBBCK, which was rejected ; and the Dutch were closely blockading Palembang River, and no pirates were-seen in that quarter. Tl►e Commercial an►l Maritime Interests of the Country in general and of all its Dependencies, are of such importance, that we need no: make any apology for the insertion of articles on the subject Ibis day, .parileulariy one of considerable length. When the Public reflect on the several interests which arc connected with the SHIP OWNII, it will be found that the question is not confined to them, but branches out into a variety of direc tions, all of which compiehend many other Masses of the Community. One very great consideration respecting this subject regards our Naval De fenders, engaged in Commercial Intercourse with the British Dependeficies, who ate trained by Mercantile pursuits into the acquisition of so numb know ledge, and ace so hardened by prac tice, that they are rendered immediately eapa ble of warlike enterprizes in case of necessity. It is evident therefore that in our insular situa- lion the strength and character, of the Country demand the utmost protection and encouragement to our National Commerce, which must suffer in proportion to the extent of any concessions which a specious policy might grant to any toreign trade. We, however,again observe, that out columns shall be freely open to a full discussion of the subject, not only because the people at large may be en abled to understand all its scope and bearings, but that before our Ministers decide upon what course to take, they may derive all possible infor mation on a matter of such national import ance, front the opinions, arguments, and it- Instrations 'of tl►ose who have no opportunity of delivering their sentiments in Parliament, though, perhaps, from long experience and the advantages Prising front extensive practice, they may be better qualified to judge than any of its Members. We see by the Report of the Proceedings of the Court of Common Council yesterday, on the subject of the Orphan's Fund, that Sir AVM CURTIS had sent a written Statement, that was explanatory of his conduct, as well as of the subject in general. Mr. ‘VAITHMAN, however, opposed the reading of this Statement, and very naturally. After, per haps, as JUNIUS says " a week's preparation of graceful Oratory," it would have beets bard indeed if be had been prevented by the reading of an obtrusive Paper that might, have been so satisfactory to the Court as not to need any formal discussion. However, though we have the fullest confidence in the reciitude of the Honourable Baronet, and were convinced of that rectitude by the several reports of the Newspapers in general, of the Speech which he delivered at the Dinner Which was so properly given to him on his re , election for,our great City, yet to put a stop to all calumnious insinuations, and to remove an doubts, we hove no objtction to the following motion, which was proposed by Mr. %VAITHMAN, seconded by Mr. WILLIAms, and agreed to by the Court, viz.:— " That it be referred to the Committee for General Pur poses to inquire into the nature and duties of the (Mice of Collector and Receiver of the Orphans' Dues and Metage Duties on Coals, with the allowance for the collection of the same ; together with an Account of all Balaucts retained in his hands, and the manner in which the said Dues have been paid into the Chamber; and to consider whether any better or more beneacial l mode of collecting and paying the said Dues may be adopted; and to report to the Court thereon ; also, that it be referred to the said Committee to make like inquiries, and to report, respecting the Orphans' Duty on Wine." it will be remembered that when Sir WILLIAM delivered his justificatory speech on the occasion alluded to, he was in the presence of a very large body of the most eminent and respectable mer cantile characters of our great City, and that it was followed by the approtration of those who must be fully conversant with the subject, and who also are too upright to be suspected of being warped by private friendship to bestow an un merited panegyric. THE Miss.—The old observation, that people never forgive those whom they have injured, is fully illustrated by the Apostate Times. It was formerly indebted to the kindness of Lord SID• MOUTH, and it evinces its gratitude by persever ance in venomous hostility. We may say with the Poet, Destroy its web and sophistry in rain, "'!'tie creatnre's at its dirty cork again." Yesterday, that Apostate Paper declared, that it did not regret the escape of Edwards. To-day it regrets that Edwards was not secured in time. But it is blinded by malevolence and falls into un conscious absurdity. We cannot, however, avoid observing the safeness. of its policy in attack ing those in higher stations, and who too much despise it to take any formal notice of its defamation. It has acted differently tic- cording to report, with respect to the Courier, from which it has withdrawn its daily abuse. It is whispered that the terrors of Law prevailed in one instance, on the occasion, and of a more immediate species of summary justice in another. We think the story ought to be explained, in order that the Public may be able to judge ot the private as well as public conduct of a Paper, the success of which, considering its absolute dullness, independelitly ot its mural qualities. may be numbered among the Mosnotnena of the Times SHIP NEWS.

" Letters from St. Petersburg!) of the 2Sth of Aptil, state, that the Government has issued new ukase, extremely beneficial to the reruporao, interests of the calico -pt inlets of Russia, bat calculated materially to injure the interests of foreign merchants trading with that count! y • All printed goods, when printed and brotgirt to mat ket by a Russian printer, will he entitSra to a drawback of 374 copecs silver the poonds which is the amount of ditty on the white g oods when imported. These 373 copecs, in atldir iut t to the duty of one rouble 40 copecs, laid on to' reign prints, give to the Russian printer an advau tage of one rouble 772 copecs silver, or ss. 4,1. ths pound, Russian weight (about 40z.) over 11)0 4 printed goods imported front abroad. This okase expressly adds, however, that the said drawharinr. will be granted to those printers only who have a e• tually ordered the white goods front abroad, RI 4 entered them in their own names at the Cuvoay house ; the drawback cannot be claimed when the goods in the imprinted state have been ptirchast d of merchants its. t he market, who must consequent ly be driven out of commercial transactions, of which they have hitherto formed the medium. Recent directions have been given, it is under' stood, to for ward the Coronation Preparatiouf with all possible expedition.
