Englishmen, in fact, were often obliged to flee to the Portuguese settlement for protection; they were haraEsed in proportion to the cupi dity and pride of the ruling mandarins, and compelled to submit to indignities which neither a CROMWELL nor a BONAPARTE would have winked at for one :veal.: The out rageous attack upon ELLicerT and the British merchants at Canton, as well as on all foreigners, brought affairs to a crisis. The cup was full, and so unjustifiable were the whole .pro ceeding., that even the inveterate enemies of England could not find a word to say against the measures which followed. Britain at last asserted her rights, with universal consent, and, with a rare generosity, 'claimed no exclusive advantages fur risking a war, which would at the time, and for many' years, have been too hazardous for any other nation. Besides, we haVe made no conquests—we hive merely asked for, and obtained a station like that long possessed, by the Portuguese, in order to secure a trade which not only furnishes a large revenue to the country,• but supplies one of the great necessaries of life to the lower classes. It would be difficult to point out any war Which was ki . just, so speedily settled, and so productive of :beneflcial results to the conquered as well as the con queror. E Generals Athalin, Gourgaud, d'Houdetot,.de CiAbert, 3larbot, and.Gerard,andseveral orderly officers, reviewed the National Guard of Eu and the troops of the garrlson.

The following are additional extracts from the papers : The. Duke de Montpensier made but a very short stay in Athens. On the 13th. the day after his arrival, the Prince took an excursion with the King and Queen to Pentelicus. His Royal Highness having placed his frigate at the disposal of the Queen, she took her departure on the 14th for Venice. Her Majesty was accompanied in the Gomer by the King and the Duke de Mont. pensier as far as Kamalaki, and found at Lutrakis, on the other side of the isthmus of Corinth, the Cuvier, in which her Majesty proceeded to Venice. King Otho returned to Athens in the even. ing, and the Duke continued his voyage. " The Debals publishes the following from a correspondent at Papelte, in Otaheite, dated May 4 :- — 1 Queen Pomare is still in hostility with us." She remains at Raiatea, with the malcontents of the Archipelago, and there, with the aid of some deserters from our crews, and" even some captains of the English navy, has raised fortifications 'which will require some severe work with the bayonet to carry. In , this defensive position the Queen is waiting ft,r sufficient forces from England to enable her to resume the sovc. reignty which she has lost. We live here in a constant state of warfare, passing the day in scouring the country and clearing the valleys; gendarmes and soldiers spread right and left seeking for concealed enemies. The natives carry on a real Kabyle war against uk; lying in invisible ambush, firing upon us as if we were wild beasts, and then disappearing with a rapidity which renders it impossible for us to overtake them.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about 3,000 bales, with a very dull market, and to stimulate busi ness id. per lb. decline was accepted. There was no specu lation going on. Shares were quiet, and there was less doing than usual. There are some late dates from New Zealand and Sydney this morning. The principal feature in the accounts from the frm p o oase2 er al i o s, ti t o h f a c t e t r lr ai i n ia l t a h n , e d s a ‘ w ve h r i e ci q i u t i h e, though e t Goveiina t n h t oy ag s a t i l i l t l akepthad paid for. The accounts from Sydney are not of much interest. From the Cape of Good Hope there are advices this morn ing.. Trade at Natal was very dull. The colony was quiet. As everthing connected with railway business is now of paramount importance, we think it necessary to draw atten tion to the fact, that a meeting has been held, composed of the most influential men of the City, to consider the necessity of the formation of a grand resort for all those who have an interest in property invested in railways. We believe that there was not.a dissentient voice as to the policy of such a measure being adopted, and -it was incidentally mentioned that a general rinirkk should be established for the purchase and sale of railway shares, the enormous increase of business of this description being at present confined within too nar: row Ulnas.. But the' main difficulty appears to be where ground is to be found of sufficient extent for any such purpose within , a reasonable distance of the Bank of England and the Royal Exchange. The South Sea' HOuse appears to many to be an eligible spot, as it has "a spacious area and apace for offices to a very large extent. However, this is a matter which remains for future conside ration; but that sonie new building must be erected for the proper accommodation of the immense numbers who now fre quent the City from all parts of the United Kingdom appears to be a matter of absolute necessity. We learn that the most rigid inquiry is made 'now into the character of all parties writing for railway shares. This is especially the case as re spects the applicants to the Dublin and Galway and other companieS. " Stags" are at a discount. The vicinity or Capel Court is avoided as much as possible by the more re spectable brokers and -other bone fide holders of shares. In the market for Shares this morning a good deal of busi ness has been done, and mostly at advanced prices. We may note a firm demand for the Caledonian, the Aberdeen, &c. Tho French lines are firm. The _price of_ Consols for Money has remained all the morning at 98 % , and for the Account at from 97% to 98%. Exchequer Bills are firm at 455. 475.. premium. India Bonds at 635. premium, and India Stock at 266. The operations - in the Foreign Funds are verb- trifling. The Five per cent.: Brazilian Stock have been taken at 87%; the Mexican at 32 3 4 ; the Portuguese Four per Cents. at 60%; the Spanish Five per Cents, for the Account, at 263. i ; the Three per Cents. at 38 ; and. the Dutch Two-and- a- Half per Cents. to a fall from 60 to 59 1 / 2 . - BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

He stated that in the evening ha went to the defendant'il house and asked for payment of a sum of money that % , :.s due to him. The woman answered him at the door, and firt abused him in the coarsest manner, and then fetched a poker and beat him with it about the head. A police-constable brought to the spot, but the prisoners had escaped, and it was some time before their retreat was ascertained. &fors being captured they made a desperate resistance,' and the the woman kicked the officer so severely as to, incapacity a him from duty for some days to come. The man's defence was that the prosecutor had induced hie wife to get drunk in his house, and spend between 84 and 9/, and this caused her to become exasperated when she saw him in her sober moments. He denied having done more Vial endeavour to save his wife from being locked up. The MAGISTRATE said he could not think of fining the d fendants, but he would commit them to the House of Cor• rection. • - London : Longman, Brown; Green, and Longmans.

By DAVID LOW, Esq., By the same Author, ELEMENTS of PRACTICAL AGRICULTURE. Bvo. 21s. On LANDED PROPERTY and the ECONOMY of ESTATES. Bvo. 215.: An article appeared in our impression of yesterday, which we are anxious to impress on the serious attention of the public Whilst the matter to which it relates is still of recent occurrence. Where.facts are likely •to find precedents they cannot be too promptly investigated. Half the mischiefs that from time to time fall out in the complications of public affairs, As well as in the business of private life, might be avoided or greatly neutralized by acting on this simple maxim. But if the folly' nd the danger of procrastination in the conduct of their own personal business, by individuals, be so unquestionable as to have passed--from all antiquitp-- into the most t r it e of proverbs—of how much more serious prejudice must ,the same evil habit prove to the welfare of states which permit it to creep into the exe cutive administration of their service ? The article to which 1 we are now recurring announced the arrival of the Banchery at Aberdeen, from Newfoundland, with a short cargo i f fish. It is stated that " she would have been a full ship had it not been for the interference of the Danish' fisherinen, who hive a settlement close to Newfoundland. It is to be hoped that Government will put a stop to this intrusion, and compel the Danes, as they do the French, to keep within their own limits.'' We most heartily concur ' in the hope expressed by cur Contemporary, the Aberdeen Herald. It is impossible to overrate the national value of •our fisheries as a source of maritime defence ; or of cheap, whole some, and abundant sustenance; or of commercial wealth. But there is no portion of our trade so liable to foreign en croachment. There is -no species of foreign encroachment which extends itself so rapidly, or which, having been once permitted to take place, it is so difficult afterwards effec tually to put down, or prospectively to restrain. And we , London : Longman, Brown, Green, and Longrnans. The prisoners cried very much, the man imploring the Mfigistrate to fine them and set them at liberty. Mr. ComBE refused to do so, and committed them for four teen days. THEATRE ROYAL, ;DRURY-LANE. THIS EVENING. Will be performed the Grand Opera of THE. BOHEMIAN . GIRL. Thaddeus, Mr. W.

Our extraordinary express, in anticipation of the Indian. Mail to the 28th of August, has arrived. There is no longer any doubt as to the assembling of an army on the banks of the Sutlej, in order to enable the present Siekh. Government to curb its licentious soldiery. The Queen-Mothk r and her brother, the Wuzeer of the boy King Duleep are stated to be now acting in concert with the British agents, for the purpose of putting down the insolence and re bellious spirit of the Khalsa troops and the fanatic Akhalees Umballa is named as the place of rendezvous for all the "politi. cals,"as the Hon. Company's diplomatic agents are occasionally called in India. The Governor-General, the, Commander-in- Chief, the Lieutenant-Governor of the North-West Pro vinces, Mr. Thomason, and Mr. G. R. Clerk, who was said to be on his way from England, are to have a conference at Agra, after which the important movements will be com menced. Of the results of the movement of the wing of the 18th Regiment of Bombay Native Infantry, which was sent itt June, by Sir Charles Napier, to take possession of Kusmore, a sort of hilly spot on the right bank of the Indus, above Sukkur, little is known. The cause if,. said to be the at tempt of some Seikhs to begin a foray upon tha British territory. The appearance of the expedition had the effect of neutralizing the attempt, and the latest news frOna Shade was that Sir Charles Napier had ordered the detach ment to return to Hyderabad —an arrangement which could be effected by the steamers with the greatest ease within a week. Sinde was tranquil, and the British rule completely esta- Wished by the gallant General who had conquered the coun try. This fact was sufficiently a matter of annoyance to his enemies, who sought by every means to decry his acts. Tho most unscrupulous attacks were made on him, and all hia proceedings. " The Minister of the Marine left Havre on Monday for Honfleur. Before his departure he bad a conference with the Chamber of Commerce, which turned chiefly on the sea defences of Havre. The Chamber urged the early presentation of a Bill uniting the fortification of the roadstead with the formation of a harbour of refuge, which would thus meet the demands of both peace and war. Admiral de Mackau, adopting this idea, gave his promise to do all in his power to hasten the presentment of such a Bill in the course of the next session."

To conclude with BINKS, THE BAGMAN. may go further in denouncing the intervention of our tardy British . diplomacy as always . most tardy in the assertion of our invaluable fishing rights. • Even Lord PALmEngro*, vigilant and decisive as was the general character of his management of our foreign relations, was yet severely censured, and we thought, at'the time, not - Without reason, for the *thy or the indolence with which he had looked On at the aggressions of the French fishermen upon our own in the mackerel-and other fisheries of the Channel.' From the exertions of the Hon. Members for Sussex ; and a few other spirited remonstrants, the reipective rights of the fishermen of the two nations were at Jongth reduced into specific ' statement, and made the subjecfa a neW convention, which was fornially exercised, and now subsists in full force as the text law, as it were, by the rule of which their rights are ascertained and encroachments on them repressed. ;But even that convention, if we mistake not, was not negotiated and finallyratified without some sacrifices of ancient rights on our own part. The claims of the French. fishermen, as made on their behalf by the Government of France, were conceded to an extent which those who, in this country had the reputation of being _best informed, on. such subjects, consi dered, quite unwarranted by the prescription of the past, by recent usage, or by any then existing treaties. This was an' oversight the more remarkable, as occurring during the tenure of the foreign seals by the accomplished 'descendant of that great statesman who in the treaties negotiated by him, both with the Didch and the French, had taken espe cial care, at the Hague, and at Nimeguen, in 1668 and iii .1678, to protect, to the best of his power, the fisheries of Britain. It is, however, a lamentable fact, that to France, to Holland, and to the United States,' in the seas of the Old 'World, and upon the shores of.-the New, we have, from time to time, sacrificed such important fishing rights with so much facility, that subsequent encroachments by Vessels under their flags upon our grounds have been the rule—respect for the rights of our own Craft, on the same stations, the exception. It is high time that this state of things should cease. It has already operated (whether in conjunction with the re 'ovel or modification, of former import duties on foreign cured fish .and oils, as Mr. ENDERBY, in a very able pamphlet, has contended (though, in our humble -opinion, eironeously); or simply through the effect of the system of encroachinent pursued by foreign fishers), to the absolute ruin of our whale fishery. It hSs very largely reduced the extent of that herring and ling fishery, from the products of which We`for a long time imported Vast returns into this kingdom by the supply of the Mediterranean and even the Levant . ports. It has, ere now, so intelerably trenched upon our Newfoundland cod fishery— perhaps the richest in the world—as to have proved a main element of the grievances the experience, of which has in volved .us in war with Frande. • It is' our earnest appeal, therefore, : to the Government at horne--(and the ques tion, we apprehend, fortunately - for the interests of: the trade, happily for the • interests of the country at large, 7 ouTa come within the . cognizance of the foreign, not of the colonial department)—that they would adopt instant , measures for the effective repression of these first Steps in the way of new encroachments on our interests and rights in the fisheries of Newfound, ' .

In addition to the above-mentioned manufacturing towns, the pro- jected railway - passes through a rich agricultural -district, hitherto totalirneglected as to railway communication, from which it will readilrbe seen great mutual benefit must inevitably arise. The increasing importance of Dover, consequent on the great im provement and enlargement ofits harbour now in progress, must, by means - of the Great Northern Railway of France from Paris to Calais, make it, on account of the shortness of the sea.voy age, the great port of communication with France and the continent.

The , preparations . ,for any. movement that might be necessary against the Punjaub were going on silently but surely, especially in the boats for bridges and the steamers, &c. It appeared to be expected that Sir Charles Napier would be called on to pro ceed to join the Governor-General, in case any hostile mea sures became imperative in the Punjaub. The fame of that General along the Indus and throughout the north-west of India is immense. Some of the envious journals of Bengal and Bombay seek •to lower it, but in vain. The Siekh troops would tight less. despeiately agonise him than any other British General, for they know his valour in the victories over the men of Slade. There was a rumour of a treaty having been proposed by the Governor-General to the Siekh Government, but great doubts were entertained, however favourable their Government might be to it, that the troops would submit to have a subsidiary British tbrce established at Lahore, even although a body of then:- selves shall be incorporated with it.

There are some intrigues going on at Herat, between the Shah of Persia's agents and the notorious usur per Tar Mahomed, in which the fornier has represented Persia as . being govenicd by Russian intrigues, and that a peace fur 30 years had bean agreed to, and that in the meanwhile Russia was to assist the Persian Government to overcome all its enemies and opponents in Central Asia. In the interior of India tranquillity prevails. Great plenty was expected in the north-west provinces, in consequence of the abundant, fall of rain. In some of the districts of the Bombay presidency the'fall had been scanty. • The departure from Calcutta of the Governor-General for the north-western provinces was fixed for the end of Sep tember, when it was expected that he would endeavour to have the new treaty with the Siekbs carried into effect.

KOng had pub lished a proclamation for the assessment of houses lands, &c., which it was maintained was calculated to prove injurious to the colony, as tending to prevent parties front settling there. There is an interesting discussion going forward in India relatiVe to the island of Chisan, which now, when. the time for its restoration to the Chinese is approaching, be comes of more value than ever to the British. A great un willingness is exhibited to restore it, on the ground that this whole of the provisions of the treaties with the Chinese hall not been complied. It was said that the French and Ame ricans cast covetous eyes on this island, against which so many prejudices had existed, which were found by experi ence to be unfounded, and that they having each made stipu lations for an island, expect to get Chusan. land. The • monstrous importance of prompt and deciSive intervention on such a matter is to be 'estirnated not alone . by - the vast amount of tritish . capital; Shipping, seamen, labotir and wages invested in these fisheries, but by other considerations of even a higher and more . urgent elm raeter in a political pOint of view.

PROTECTION TO BRITISH RESIDENTS AT BUENOS AYRES. Captain Hotham, in command of her Majesty's ship Go rg on, on the Buenos Ayres station; had, in a memorandum ad• dressed to the:masters of British vessels, requested their co operatidn to render assistance to British life and property, if found necessary, in the event of an interruption to the exist ing friendly feeling on the,,patt of the Republic. day of The island continues still in the hands of the British, airs a very great wish is expressed to retain it. It is not impro bable that some negotiations for the purpose will be coin meneed ere long. • • • The'accounts from Madrid. are to the 26th of September, and we are glad to find that even some of the Opposition journals admit that .the Finance Minister is compelled, by necessity, to raise money by additional taxes. The new system, though highly objectionable as regards details, ac cording to the Heiyziclo, is preferable to the total disorder which reigned in the public revenues before Senor MaXcame into office. This is not the only instance, however, of reform resorted to by the Goverment. Gambling, for which Madrid has been long notorious, is to be put down with a strong hand.. The Political Chief bad issued an edict in which be declares that he will punish, with the utmost severity, both the keepers of gambling-houses and those who frequent them. The punishment for these offences is fine and imprisonment. No public transactions took place on the Bourse on the 26th. The trade with the Chinese was going forward favOilkably and it is to be hoped that the negotiations for the final pos session of Chusan will be attended, with the best results. It appears thdt• the best feelings prevail between the inha bitants of Chusan and the British troops stationed there. Tilo health of the latter, • since'they had become acquainted witlt the country and the manner of living in it, had been ex cellent. GREAT IMPROVEMEVT IN THE OF PRINTING. —As everything that tends to advance the interest and influence of the " fourth estate" is, in oui..estimation,. important to the public, we - have - muck pleasure in calling attention to a remarkable im provement just effected in the printing-press by Mr. Alexander Burton, of Glasgow. That gentleman has invented what he calls the "Patent Caledonian Printing Press," which is so constructed that two sets of men, without hindrance to each other, can work two distinct form; at one timetliere being two " tables," and but one " platten,'' which, operating upon the tables alternately, pro duces an impression frorm each. One principal advantage which this press possesses over the Columbian and other presses is, that while they are invariably. exposed to breakage, and expend newly half their pressure on " de ad metal," it effects a saving of labour, and is proof against breakage, from the fact that the whole weight and force of the press is dependent on a perpendicular pillar. To sum up, it is easier wrotught, produces a finer impression, occupies less space, and is cheaper and more durable than any other of the existing printing presses.: Many eminent scientific and practical gentlemen have examined the press, among others Professors Gor don and Nicol, and Mr. Smith, of Deanston, all of whom have tested it, - and expressed themselves, regarding its capabilities, in terms of the greatest satisfaction.. We have no doubt that as soon as it is known it will come• into g eneral use among the trade. NOTICE TO MARINERS: • PASSAGE OF THE BOSPHORUS AND DARDANELLES AFTER SUNSET. . A:letter has, been received at 'Lloyd's -from the Foreign office, announcing that the anchorage assigned to vessels arriving in the Bosphorus from the .Black :Sea; after sunset, having been discovered to be unsafe, the Porte has consented to abandon the regulation made some time since, in these cases, thus permitting merchant vessels thus circumstanced to enter the Bo s ph orus w i thout interruption, and in the same way as previously to the late regulation. TO' MERCHANTS INTERESTED IN THE TRADE WITH INDIA AND- CHINA. An extract of a dispatch from her Majesty's Consul at .Foie-chow-foof dated'April 26 last, relative to the opening of that, port, has been forwarded to Lloyd's by the Board of Trade, which can be seen upon application being made to Mr. Dobson, Secretary. a A plan was forming for a Steam Navigation Company with the object of having steam-boats to, ply fron!. Guzeritt and Sitide to Bombay, and from Bombay to Ceylon, touching at the intermediate ports. This company had been formed, and the greatest eagerness was exhibited. by the public to give every assistance. The want of such steam communications along the Malabar coast was felt tis , all classes, and the propo'sal for forming a company was no sooner published than the lists of subscription were speedily filled. . . The Paris papers announce, three more elections for Depu tieS, in the room of those raised to the Peerage, at all of which the Ministerial •candidates'were" at the head of the list;. . In general the candidates supported by the Left have 6e - en far below their Conservative opponents, and even at Colmar, a town which strongly supports Radical principles, :. candidate,oLluegtejtimati Conservative candidates only came forward.

(From the Chamber of Conzinerce Overland Price Current.) BOMBAY; AUG. 27, 1845.-LThe commercial, season is new pattially re-opened ; and although the ' business transacted in imports since the departure of the last Overland Mail, on the 19th ultimo, has been less extensive than in previous years, the prospects apparent are not unfavourable.

The only sales have been in sheathi ng, b r azier's, been sold to some extent at 61 rupees, and the latter at 63 rupees per cwt. In iron there has been little ch ange, i f we except Swe di s h bar, the price of which is fully one rupee per candy higher than last month. There was an active inquiry for British bar towards the end of July, and some sales, principally en speculation, had been effected at that time at rs. 281 to 281 per candy. Holders then continued flint; until the arrival of the Overland Mail of the Rh of July early in Augrist, when the unfavourable accounts for the article brought by that opportunity caused a suspension of the demand, and a decrease in the nominal value. A fe w days since a speculative purchase was made by an Eu perm house, of about 450 candies, at rupees 231 per card and this is the only recen t t ransaction of which we hav:et heard. The native dealers have exhibited throughout little willingness to buy. Of Swedish bar a superii.o assortment, to the extent of about 300 candies, has changed' hands at rupees 511 per candy, and 150 candies (current assortment) at rs. 50; the latter taken by an European house.

We have heard of nothing doing in steel, quicksilver, or tin plates. Cotton Manufactures—A fair demand has sprung up for shirt.: ings and Madapollams, both grey and bleached, and also for,bleached jaconnets; and the sales of all of these, from a middling quality upwards, have exhibited some improvement in price. Grey jaconnets have likewise been inquired for latterly, but the prices as offered are not remunerating. The stocks of the better qualities of all these goods are, we believe, light. Jacconet checks and stripe mestice have taken place, but the inq uir y for theseS om e sale s of d o xs for the present - GRAND itAILWAT CLUB.—A most numerously attended and highly influential meeting of gentlemen connected with railways was held at the London Tavern, at which Sir George WiMain Prescott, Bart., presided, and amongst those present were the Hon. - Mr. Gore, Ileteyard, T. Arnold, and W. J. Arnold, Esqs. The Chairman explained that the object of the meeting (which was of a preliminary character) was,' to adopt measures for the forniation of a club,ao be composed of Railway Directors, and parties interested in railways, for the interchange and record of valuable information ccinnwcted with railways. The proposition had already had the wpprohation, by letter, of upwards of one hundred and fifty noblemen mid gentlemen, directors of railways. Mr. Owens, solicitor, and other gentlemen, addressed the meeting, and urged that the proposed plan would have the effect of dif. fusing railway knowledge generally, particularly as respects the geological state of the country, and improvement of locomotive engines, &c.; and resalutions were unanimously carried to the effect that the meeting thought it expedient to fbrm a society with the convenience of a club, as a place of resort for railway directors, &c., and an institution to receive and record railway information ; to take suitable premises for the above ; and that a Cotnmittee be appointed to carry such objects into effect. It was suggested to the Committe which w*s'appointed, that professors of geology, &c., be appointed to give occasional lectures; and another gentleman observed that he was of opinion that a new Bourse should be erected, -to be devoted exclusively to railways. The 'meeting then, after the usual courts, ifs to the Chairman, &c., broke up. • CORN AVERAGES.

The master of Uric last-named house, having learned that his-name-was Herfun, aritd that he had taken the road to Yvetot, followed him there.

This gentleman, most big hly esteemed for his private worth as well as public services, es spired on Monday last, at Gateacre, near Liverpool. The prisoner - liurnes has been in Messrs.

Last evening the pl.( perty ,above-mentioned was missed from a part of the premis,s where it had purposely been placed as a trap. Barnes was accused of sidling ir, and after some hesitation admitted he had done so, and pointed out where he had secreted it in one of the • kitchens. The evidence against Wright was to the following : effect :—Sergeants English and. Adams of the C .division havtng for some time past noticed that Wright, who is the general associate of well-known-thieves and bad cha racters, was very flush of money, resolved on ascertaining the source from which it was derived, and after narrowly watching him for upwards of three weeks, traced out that he was nearly in the daily habit of disposing of large quantities of the goods usually sold by artists' colourmen, at different shops about town.

Seen, * from an ' * Official document published in another part of the paper, that the last of the five ports to be opened to English commerce in China, according to the treaty of Nankin, has been placed on nearly the same footing as Canton. This port, called Rio- chow-foo, lies nearly midway hetiVeen that ancient mart .for British commerce and the city. of Ningpoo. -From the accounts .published, 'it is not likely,• at least for' some time, that this place will afford scope for commercial . transactions on a - grand scale; but in this we see "little "cause for Itgret, as the circumstance may have the effect of checking over-speculation, and accustom ing the .inhabitants by degrees to the use . of British manufactures. • Thmigh the town is not of great extent, when compared'with Others on that toast, it adjoins popu lous districts, it will give an opening into the interior, and afford a rneans.of communication between Britisli s- ;;eSatli and. the rich countries traversed by the great canal. This is the last of the victories gained by .the Chinese war, and it is gratify ingto find that there is every disposition on the part of the authorities to carry out the conditions of the treaty in good faith, and promote d' flourishing trade with foreigners. It requires only prudence, fair dealing, and peaceable conduct On the part of the British traders to render the intercourse mutually beneficial; and we leave little doubt that the firm conduct 'displayed by Sir 11. PorruscEn in repressing irregularities and" enforcing the conditions sanctioned by his name, wili . be imitated by i,h4 . l3ritisfi C( . 4iiiis - at the different ports.
