Several foreign mercantile houses, which have had establishments here for many years, begin to withdraw from business, and appear dis posed to give up their connections here. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 27.—Since a war with the three . Allied Powers seems unavoidable ) the Porte has issued orders to fill, as soon as possible, the magazines for the supply of the capital. For this purpose it has made contracts with several Sar dinian and Austrian merchantmen here. The Aus trian Internuncio and the Sardinian Ambassador have acquainted the Captains of ships of. their re spective nations with this measure, by means of a notice, in which, the freight appointed by the Turkish Government is stated. Forty Turkish ships have already sailed to the Black Sea to take in corn. Though people still flatter themselves that the se rious preparations of the Ambassadors to leave the capital will induce the Porte to yield to the will of the Allies, especially when it must be convinced that the mediation of Austria cannot take place in the manner it desires, respecting which it does not appear at present to be clearly informed; yet the sentiments of the Sultan, who will not hear of an interference in the affairs of Greece upon any conditions, seem likely to disappoint all hopes. He himself is already preparing for ac tion, and the ;persons about him are obliged to do the same. The field equipages are ready, and the horses to be used in the campaign are already se r ...c to Adrianople, to which city the Chief Master of the Horse will set out to-morrow. Several other great men will accompany the Sultan. We have news from the Archipelago, that Colonel Fabvier had attempted to take the fort of Scio by storm, but had been repulsed. However, he still occupies the island. Lord Cochrane has undertaken an ex pedition against Candia, and we are not without apprehensions on that account. Twenty Greek mistics are said to have sailed towards Alexandria. A Tartar has arrived from Redschid Pacha with the news, that Ibrahim Pacha intends to pass the Isthmus, and had called upon him to go to meet him. The Wechabites are said to be in full insurrec tion, and to be marching with an army of 50,000 men against that of Alahomet Ali, which is only I+,ooo strong; so that the Pacha has been induced to send all his troops to join that army, only leaving three battalions of infantry in the camp near Cairo.

The Ministerialists, for some days past, have been running 'from salon to salon, and their orders having undoubtedly been given, they declare aloud that M. Villele Nv ill yet face the storms of the Session, happeh what may, for the sake of the King and of France. As they must assign some cause for these hopes, they repeat to whoever will listen, that the new comers (it is thus they designate the new De puties) are more accessible than the Deputies of the former Chamber; that they are crowding forward to ask for places, and that the Ministry will have more of them than they wish. All these facts are so many absurd calumnies; the truth is, there are, as yet, very few Deputies at Paris, and, in spite of the manoeuvres of his good friends, there are still fewer at tte levees of M. de Villele. The Count Corbiere, whose health has been Amending for some time, set out yesterday for Bre tc:g;oe, after obtaining his Majesty's permission. Every thin g leads us to hope that his complete reco very is not far distant. PARIS, DEC. 29.—N0 news direct from the Archipelago has yet arrived at Paris. We have up to this period letters only from Frankfort, Trieste, and Vienna, which speak upon the subject.• We continue to lay before our readers our correspondence and what we find in the German journals relative to the affairs of the East. (From the Augsburg& Gazette.) ODESSA, DEC. B.—The most recent letters from Constantinople say, that the three Ambassadors are preparing to set off. In the conference of the 24th, the Reis Effendi complained grievously, and at the same time with moderation, among other things of -the amicable declarations of the Ambassadors, whilst the Admirals were preparing for the catastrophe of Navarin. They had, he. said, gravely compromised it in the eyes of the Sultan and of the Divan. He added, that he seized that opportunity, in which he was negotiating perhaps for the last time with them, to remind them of the assurance they had given him. It is remarkable that the Sultan, concealed, was assisting at this conference. This language and the other energetic declarations of the Reis Effendi in dicated the result of the negotiations. However, the Minister, at the end of the conference, having left an opening for the possibility of propositions, some hope is yet entertained of them. It appears that this was only a stratagem for gain ing time ; at least the Ambassadors thought so, and demanded, on the 27th, their passports. It has been replied, that there was no necessity for their so doing. It is said, nevertheless, that they remained yet seve ral days, and would not set sail until the beginning of December. On the Ist, they exhorted, by cir culars, their respective fellow-subjects to put their affairs in order, so that they might be ready in the space of three days, if they wished to depart. VIENNA, DEC. 20.—We have to-day received letters direct from Smyrna, dated the 23d Nov., which make no mention of the burning of the Greek fleet at Scio. We begin to doubt the truth of this news. Letters from Frankfort of the 25th of December say—" The letters from Vienna arrived to-day, con firm the departure of the Ambassadors from Con stantinople, although the Austrian Observer says no thing of it. They confirm also the burning of the Greek fleet, adding that Admiral Cochrane was sent on board the vessel of the French Admiral, but that he was released after having given his parole of honour that he would not undertake any thing against the Turks. It is singular that the Observer of Trieste on the 18th says nothing concerning this event. This circumstance causes the news to be doubted." At the moment we are communicating this intel ligence, we receive a letter from Vienna, of Dec. 20, which says,—" Sir Henry Wellesley has just recei ved a courier from Constantinople, dated the 30th, who brings him an autograph letter from Mr. Strat ford Canning, which directs him to send his de spatches to Corfu, because he will set off from Con stantinople at the latest on the 4th of December." The news from Smyrna, up to the 24th of Nov., say nothing concerning Scio, which causes the Observer of to-day to zemain silent respecting the news yesterday received.

WRECK OF THE MARCHIONESS WELLES LEY, STEAM-PACKET.—On Sunday morning, about seven o'clock, this beautiful vessel struck upon the Dogger-bank, at the entrance of the harbour. The accident has been attributed to various causes. During the confusion that occurred, the chimney in the cabin took fire, and caused considerable alarm, but by timely exertion it was soon sub died. The weather was quite calm. Soon after this un fortunate occurrence, the sea, which was very violent, stove in the beautiful stained glass windows in the stern, and obliged the cabin passengers to make a hasty retreat. It wag some time befor e beats could get near the vessel, : and the persons on board had great difficulty in getting She had a full into them. cargo of merchant's goods, part' of which ha been got out. —Wexford Herald. 4 j-44 - ! t ,s), , s - **lllll4, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 31, 1827. We received last night the Paris Papers of Friday, and the Gazette de France dated Sa turday morning : and a second Express, which arrived this morning at three o'clock, brought us the Papers of Saturday, and the Gazette de France of yesterday morning. They add but little to our previous information from Con stantinople, as no further direct intelligence had been received from thence ; and that which they contain from the German Papers is contradic tory. The Gazette de France of yesterday quotes an article from the Augsburgh Gazette, which states that letters from Vienna, received at Frankfort on the 25th inst., confirm the de parture of the Ambassadors on the Ist, although the Austrian Observer says nothing of it ; but the Editor adds, that at the moment he is com municating that intelligence, he has received a letter from Vienna of the 20th December, which says, " Sir HENRY WELLESLEY has just re ceived a courier from Constantinople, dated the 30th, who brings him an autograph letter from Mr. S. CANNING, which directs him to send his despatches to Corfu, because he will set off from Constantinople at latest on the 4th December." The accounts published on Saturday, from the foreign papers, of the burning of the Greek fleet off Scio, by Admiral DE RIGNY, appear not to have had any foundation. Letters from Smyrna to the 24th November make no mention of the occurrence ; and no confirmation of it had been received on the 17th inst. at Trieste, NNhere the report had been prevalent for three days, and from whence it has spread all over Europe. The Austrian Observer, of the 20th, an nounces that it is authorized to declare that the letter published by the French Journals, as being the copy of one addressed by Prince METTER-. NICH to the Austrian Internuncio, at Constan tinople, is entirely fictitious. All the reasoning, therefore, founded on this letter, of the change which the Austrian policy respecting the affairs of Turkey had undergone, falls to the ground, and we may now positively infer, from the honours bestowed on Baron OTTENFELS, that his con duct during the negotiations, so far from offend ing his Government, had met with its perfect ap proval. The French Funds during the last two days scarcely varied, the fluctuations having been only between 67f. 20c. and 67f. 40c., and the last price quoted is 67f. 35c. We have given in another column copious extracts from all the French Papers. We received yesterday the Allgemeine Zei lung of the 23d inst. Some of its contents had been anticipated by the French Papers, but it gives some interesting details of the proceedings at Constantinople to the 27th of November. The SULTAN is said to have been within hear ing, through a latticed window, of the Conference between the Ambassadors and the REIS EFFENDI on the 24th. On that occasion the Ambassadors reduced their proposals to two questions :—First, whether the PORTE wished to continue its amicable relations with the Allied Courts : Secondly, whether it had taken into con sideration the Note of the 10th November. To the first question the REIS EFFENDI replied, that the greatest proof of the amicable inten tions of the PORTE was that it still allowed the Ambassadors of the three Courts to make pro posals, after the highly unwarrantable attack at Navarin, and continued to listen to them.— To the second question, that the PORTE itself would effect the pacification, if the rebels sub mitted. The Dragomans, from eleven o'clock in the morning till six in the evening, in vain endeavoured to make the REIS EFFENDI change his opinion. The Ambassadors at length retired, and they were subsequently in formed that they should receive an answer. This, too, was only verbal and negative. The Ambassadors, on the 27th, in consequence de mandet their passports. Mr. STRATFORD CANNING and M. GUILLEMINOT were to pro ceed to Corfu, and M. de RIBEAUPIERRE to Odessa. Further letters from Odessa repeated the re port that the Ambassadors had actually taken their departure on the Ist. Extracts of these Papers are given in another column. Brussels Papers of the 29th inst. reached us also last night. The following article from Berlin is the only one worth copying : BERLIN, DEC. spite of the official and other Journals which, for this fortnight past, are eager to make us easy respecting the result of the negociations between the Porte and the Ministers of the three Powers, the pre vailing opinion continues to incline to war, but it is thought that the commencement of military operations may be deferred till next spring. Two principal facts deserve to he mentioned in support of this opinion ; one is, the journey of General Count Die bitsch to Warsaw, at the moment when the Emperor, during his stay at Riga, received the first news of the naval battle in which the Russian fleet had taken so glorious a part. According to what we have learned of the object of this journey, General Diebitsch was sent to the Polish capital to concert with the Grand Duke Constantine a plan for the dislocation of the Polish army, which, in case of a war with Turkey, is to serve, together with the Lithuanian troops, as a second reserve to the army which will act on the Pruth and the Lower Danube. The result of this mis sion of General Diebitsch was perfectly satisfactory. The Polish military, tired of the leisure of peace, and perhaps still more of the continual reviews with which they are harassed by the command of their General-in-Chief, long for the moment when they shall be allowed to display, on the field of battle, that valour of which, at no very remote period, their nation has, given such brilliant proofs against the same enemies, whom, perhaps, their troops will soon be called upon to combat, and to which the Em peror of Austria, at that time, owed the preservation of his throne. The other fact, which under the present circumstances, deserves equal attention, is the preparations which Austria continues to make not to be taken by surprise. Besides the measures already mentioned by the Journals, the Aulic Council of War has just made a contract with M. Lemmel, dealer in horses at Prague, by which he is to fur nish, with as little delay as possible, 20,000 horses, partly for the cavalry and partly fur the artillery and the train. In order fully to appreciate the importance of the measure, it is proper to remark, that Austria, for financial reasons, has, since the peace, shewn great economy in its military establishment, so that, with the exception of the Regiments in Italy, the materiel of its army is in very bad condition. It cannot be presumed that these reasons have lost their weight, and, therefore, it is not to be supposed that this Power has resolved on so great an expenditure as the pur chase of 20,000 horses, without the most urgent necessity. Dutch Papers of the 29th inst. have reached us this morning, but they furnish no news. The Ambassador of the Netberlands at Constanti nople has received assurances from the PORTE of entire protection for the Netherlands flag and commerce. The following are extracts : AMSTERDAM, DEC. 28. According to private letters from Smyrna of the 21st of November, communicated from a respectable quarter, the Ambassador of the Netherlands at Constantinople, had re ceived from the Porte the most solemn assurances that the flag and commerce of the Netherlands might depend on entire protection, on account of the impartiality showed by the Netherlands Government. TETROPAWLOSK (KAMTSCHATicA), AUG. 11. On the Bth of this month, a black and very hewn; cloud was observed at four o'clock iu the morning, over the extinct volcano of Awalocha, from which a shower of sand fell, which continued till four in the afternoon. The shower of sand was succeeded by rain mixed vith very fine sand. On account of a very strong sulphareous smell, it was difficult to remain above half an how out of doors. On the 9th in the afternoon and the 10th in the morning, several explosions were perceived. On the 9th the atmos phere was so darkened by clouds and vapour, that they were obliged to burn candles at six o'clock in the afternoon, but on the I 1 th the air was again quite clear. It is generally believed that the mountain of Awalocha has fallen in. The oldest people do not remember to have ever witnessed a similar phenomenon. lIAMBURGIf, DEC. 25. On the 24th NOvember his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, as King of Poland, published an Ordinance, by which the directing Council is ordered immediately to convoke the Provincial Assemblies, for the purpose of choosing new members in the room of those who are to go out by lot. The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 24th instant, has also come to hand to-day. A considerable part of its contents have been again anticipated by the French Papers, particularly an article from Jassy, stating the alarm which had been occasioned by two pulks of Cossacks having crossed the Pruth. This detachment, however, subsequently retired to their former position on the opposite bank of the river. It will be seen by the following article from Ancona, furnishing some interesting details respecting Greece, that IBRAHIM PAULA was continuing his opera tions in the INlorea ANCONA, DEC. 10. The lonian steam-boat arrived on the 9th. Among the passengers was the Secretary of Governor Adams. Gen. Church had arrived in Eastern Greece with 5,000 men, and had been joined by several Greek Chiefs, among whom was Varnakioti. He landed on the 30th of November, at Dragomestre, in Acarnania, where he purposed to take possession of Missolonghi, which has only a small garrison, and to excite the inhabitants of Epirus and Albania to take up arms. He was supported by five Greek ships of war. Ibrahim Pacha had burnt Tripolizza, and gone towards Navarin, Coron, and Motion. It was reported that he wished to hire some European merchantmen, to return to Egypt. He had been joined by the Arabs, who were in garrison at Patras. The Turks who remained were in treaty with the Greek blockading corps. Ibrahim had dismissed all the Albanians in his service. Up to the 30th November, three new English ships of war had arrived at Malta, to reinforce Admiral Codrington ; among which is a ship of the line from Lisbon. A vessel from the Archi2 pelago brought the report, which needs confirmation, that Lord Cochrane had left Scio, after a conference with Com modore Hamilton. The Russian squadron celebrated, on the Ist of December, a solemn funeral service for the brave men who fell at Navarin. Metalliques Bank Shares VIENNA, DEC. 19. 89i 1,040 We extract the following paragraphs from the Hamburgh Papers of the 29th inst. received this day : _ _ CHRISTIANIA, NOV. B. On the report made to his Majesty of the sentence of the Court on the Councillor of State, Collet, his Majesty, by a resolution of the 17th of last month, declared and com manded, that no less out of regard for the maintenance of the royal authority, than of public and individual liberty, his Majesty will not Permit that the exercise of the royal authority, determined by the Constitution, or that of the National Representation, shall depend in the slightest de gree on the interpretation of the Court of Justice. COPENHAGEN, DEC. 22. On Thursday afternoon the youngest daughter of Prince William of Hesse and Princess Charlotte of Denmark, died suddenly. A letter from Ripen, of the 14th of this month says, that on Friday evening, a cannonade, which was continued for three hours, was heard in some villages to the south of that place ; but latter accounts stated it to have been made as signals, by ships in distress. Madame Catalani, who will give to-morrow her first public concert, is said to have received from his Majesty the King of Sweden a diamond cross, with very large brilliants ; from the Queen, a diamond aigraffe ; and from Prince Oscar and his consort, a necklace and ear-rings of sapphires, mixed with brilliants. His Majesty has conferred the Grand Cross of Danne brog upon M. de Riheaupierre, the Russian Ambassador at Constantinople. _ _ HANOVER, DEC. 30. A Proclamation, dated the 17th, convokes the Assembly of the States of the Kingdom for the 4th Feb. next. The Embden herring fishery has been extremely suc cessful this year. STOCKHOLM, DEC. 14. Letters from Abo say, that the remainder of that unfor tunate town has been destroyed by fire. The exportation of iron from Gothenburg, up to the sth, amounted to 141,000 ship pounds,. being 30,000 more than last year. A private letter has been received this morning from Trieste, dated the 15th inst., which does not mention a word upon the subject of the destruction of Clic Greek Fleet, and coming from the first establishment in that City, gives reason to doubt the truth of the account altogether. By the Faith, Captain DELOITTE, Sydney Papers to the 4th of August have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house : It is reported in the Colony that Australia and Tarmania are to be erected into a See, and further stated that the Venerable the Archdeacon Scott is to be the first Bishop ; it is also understood that the Attorney-General is to take a seat in our Colonial Councils. A Quarterly Magazine is on the eve of being published under the superintendance of the Rev. Mr. Wilton; the Rev. Dr. Lang and the Rev. Mr. M'Garvie contemplate the publication of a periodical. The Australian Magazine is only suspended in its opera ration for a time ; the Chamber of Commerce has held their first Annual Meeting, and made their first report. Many persons had died in the Colony from a catarrh, par ticularly in the country, some with the second or third attack. It is stated in these papers that the new gaol will occupy six or seven years in building, and cost the Colony from 25 to 40,0001. A meeting of the Court of Proprietors of the Bank of New South Wales had been held, R. Jones, Esq. in the chair, a half yearly dividend of seven per cent. declared, and a new director elected, in W. Redfern, Esq. in the room of the late lamented D'Arcy Wentworth, who died at Paramatta on the 6th of July. The natives are again ravaging certain parts of the country in • Tarmania, carrying slaughter and devastation before them ; a tribe had appeared at Quamby's Bluff, robbed a Mr. Widowrson, and destroyed all they could not take away. Several murders had been committed by the natives. In an extract of a letter from Launceston, it states, the people over the Second Western Tier had killed a great number of the blacks in consequence of the murder of Mr. Simpson's stock-keeper ; it is reported there were about 60 in number killed, and it is remarked there will never be an end to such transactions till the natives are removed.— The -Hobart Town Gazette mentions, on the 30th of June, the names of 19 prisoners under sentence of death, 15 of whom were executed, four were pardoned. A settlement had been made by Captain Logan of the 57th regiment, to which plan the Governor-in-Chief had paid a visit, and expressed himself highly gratified at the state of the new settlement. The Governor proceeded on his tour in his Majesty's ship Rainbow, Captain Rous, accompanied by Archdeacon Scott. Dr. Transon died at his residence Varro Ville, Bunbury Curran, he was a very old and re spectable colonist; he left a lenge property to his 'brother in Van Dieman's Land, a nephew, and two nieces in Eng land.

The Master of the Bitorna Dea ar rived in this port, from Alexandria, reports, that a Greek pirate plundered him of all hie sails, long boat, and skiff, and was obliged to put into Malta to replace his losses." Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Constantinople, dated Nov. 26 : " The embargo has been removed, but Firmans are still subject to greater delay than previously, so that the only English vessels that have sailed since the 10th instant are the Susannah and William Shand—the latter has put hack by contrary winds. Arrivals have taken place from below within these few days past, but no English vessels have come in. The Ambassadors are still here, but in little hope of bringing their negociations to a satisfactory termination, and they are apparently ready for departure.

Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's a t Smyrna, dated Nor. 20 : " Perfect good order, tranquillity, and security to all classes, is maintained by the Pacha. A few families who had gone on board of ship, have returned to their houses ; but the merchants yet leave their goods in the vessels in the hay. The Turks continue to hold out in the Castle of Scio."

The late report of Lord Goderich's resigna tion has given. rise to a good deal of discussion as to the character of the present Ministers, and their claims to the respect and confidence of the country. The most remote prospect of a change was naturally hailed with unbounded exultation by their opponents ; hence they have been ex cited to new energy, and have arraigned with more than usual clamour the policy by which the afFairs of this country have been ruled for some years past. The friends of Ministers have been, on the other hand, compelled to stand on their defence, and to re-consider the grounds on which they gave them their confidence and supported their measures, that they may be enabled to con tend against the clamour by which they are now assailed. The chief distinction between the present Ministers and their opponents appears to be, that while the latter are for conceding nothing to the spirit of the times, the former think that the period is favourable for a revision of our po licy, and for the correction of certain errors and imperfections, which have been of long standing, but which yet are acknowledged to be incon sistent with the most approved maxims of policy. During the terror and the frenzy of the French revolution, Government opposed an unbending front to all innovations whatever. They con ceived that the fabric of the Constitution was assailed by specious theories under the name of reform ; that they were bound to make a stand ; and not to recede one inch from their posi tions. That period is now past, but unhappily some of those who were engaged in the conflict still remain in the same attitude of obstinate de fence ; they cannot be reasoned out of their visionary terrors ; and confounding the reform of notorious evils, with speculative schemes of pro jectors, they are prepared blindly to oppose all changes of whatsoever sort they be. These are the opponents of the present Ministers, and they revile them for going counter to the wisdom of our ancestors, for not adhering to the maxims which were in vogue a hundred years back, but for giving, in opposition to those wise maxims and the collective experience of ages, freedom to trade, relaxing the restraints which by the ancient policy of the country were imposed on the exportation or importation of cer tain goods ; and which they contend have eminently conduced to the prosperity and wealth of the country. In order to understand the force or the weakness of those objections, and fully to comprehend how those restrictions are calculated to operate, we may shortly consider what is the nature of trade, and what are its objects. Trade is of course merely the exchange of one commodity for another. When we have too much of one particular commodity we exchange it for some other of which we are in want. The necessity for this exchange arises from the divi sion of labour, and from that diversity of pro duce which is the consequence of different soils and climates. In a great community, where the division of labour takes place, every one pursues his own separate trade, and the consequence is that they have all more of that particular com modity to which their labour is directed, than they can use, and they depend of course on the exchange which subsequently takes place for supplying their wants. Thus the tailor, the b a ke r and theproduce t e butcher, cohfer theirc an o w n n e . neither n o r f ;t and oley con sume must freely exchange it with each other.— In the progress of improvement, different districts of the same country attach themselves to particular lines of industry ; and they depend, in like manner, on a free exchange of their pro duce; for procuring what they are in want of. Thus, Manchester and the adjacent country is famous for cotton Manufactures ; Sheffield and Birmingham for manufactures of iron ; and by the free exchange of those commodities, Man chester is supplied with manufactures of iron and steel, while Birmingham receives supplies of cotton goods. Is it not clear that this free exchange conduces to the wealth and prospe rity of both manufactures ; that it enables both parties to carry on their industry with greater skill—to establish their manufactures on a more extended scale, and to improve in the cheapness and perfection of their work? Supposing, how ever, that a cotton manufacturer were to arise in Birmingham, and a worker in iron to begin bu siness in Manchester, would it be wise po licy to lay in Manchester a heavy duty on all iron articles brought from Birmingham, and in Birmingham a heavy duty on the importation of all cotton goods ; and thus to force the inhabi tants of Manchester to pay an exorbitant price for iron articles made by the apprentice hand of their own native workmen ; and those of Bir mingham, to pay an equally exorbitant price for cotton (roods of inferior workmanship ? Would not this restrictive policy be prejudicial to the prosperity of both towns ? Would it not lay the wealth of both under contribution for the encou ragement ofttnheifroroewig nn ino inducement to improve ; and would not this restriction, therefore, operate as a bounty on competition,gnor an ts Nv o , d 1:l being freed Navem sloth, ignorance, -and unskilfulness ? The opponents of free trade, turn which way they will, cannot get out of this dilemma, for the same principle applies to the com merce of nations, as to different districts in th e same nation. France, owing to its peculiar climate, has more of certain products, such as wines and oils, than she can use : she exchanges the surplus for the manufactures of Britain ; and is it not clear that it is for the advantage of both countries that this exchange should freely take place, and that every impediment to it, whether by actual prohibition or heavy duty, must seri ously obstruct the progress of wealth and in dustrystrictln n i n b s from which oth I n v h a t i i c o h n s the p Now r e.e n t t h e m s ei Ministers the ers h a r v e e been anxious to release the industry of the country—these are the obstructlons which they have been endeavouring to clear out of the high way of commerce, that different countries might be enabled freely to exchange with each other their surpulus of produce. , This we con sider their great and undeniable merit ; and what have their opponents to say in reply ? They cannot hold that these restrictions are good per se; they cannot seriously believe that it can answer any end to prevent these who have more of any commodity than they can use, from ex changing it with those who have too little of that commodity and too much of some other. What benefit can it produce to the butcher or the baker, when they wish to make an exchange- of their respective produce, to have obstacles thrown in their way ? All commercial exchanges are, however, of the same character; and the same free exchange of their respective produce, that is fe l' a lat„,`,;t 'VIAiI:, 1 4 4 11 :a ttl 441 /cAPt 'talag u , !Ojeti Na* c4 , . , 4 r i :, , ',:•1 ' necessary between the butcher and the . c l ie l bn i g e a e tnt s dh s t a :B r a y otrni b tiea e ti t d : fitioeal theory a fi l i f vet u o F s ioo t a tr r l o l iy a ri l stopping eoeensTtibilieeortetwiasopgnpreolyantltooc. more :, .. :.,,,t :. at_e i than in stopping the_4:l,' ,' ,- it e ociq f It has been argued that this is a . il , - oh t ,, n e e, wages, her manufacturers, we are told, Britain, which is not on an equality- VI ' strs... fet In , ' , cr.,. t undersold, in the event of a free trade, bY " bOywricis'Utriettoiveheda u ry ties ta . xat T io o n and sho : ini l if : t t h e e. : l ;e j : e, s took , lent b y gentlet; i , foreign manufacturer, and therefore require -, ' ex ]) ,: al .l completely ingenuity, capital, and skill sur o • 1 : 2 Ald erm — an these supposed disadvantages, we hall"; /- .:,.., Ivir's an ; to state, that in the cotton manufacture' the ' !' - I , i ,°lt ' of f, tish bring the raw material from India, tit! • - It" Peae , nufacturc it at home, and send it back, ''''' c -' $ e Peat. with the double expense of two voyagr:: ' : ig ""1 :„ half the globe, and actually underself, 4' - 0 1 .. . treated facturer facturer in his own market of India.
