GENT LE NIEI4—I am commanded by the Lords Commis lioners of his Majesty's Treasury to transmit to you a Memo rial of the Agent for the Island of Jamaica, in. regard to the rotillation cf the duties on Sugar, and to desire that, until the 7r l tasure of Parliament be known, you will direct your Officers ,to-receive 32 shillings per . cwt., as duty on Clayed Stir r, and to take Lone for the remaining sum of three shillings per cwt., rut which a warrant shall be transmitted. Commissioners of the Customs. 3-n. I.V3HINGTON. War INDIA INTERCOVII3Z—We have recently heard, i th much surprise and regret, that it is the intention of the P'esr.t. Board of Trade to recommend to the Legislature the r "Peal of, or - to give a power of SUSPENDING, to the Privy C ''untih (which would - have almost the same effect as a repeal,) t "e most important provisions of the Statute of the 28th of his late Majesty, c. 6, which regulates the intercourse be tween the British Sugar Colonies and the United States, and to 4110 w a free intercourse between them in A - am/smear Ber. l 'a3t3.—We had flattered ourselves that the discussions on this "object in 1784, 1791, and especially in 1806, had FOR EVER settled this great Maritime and Colonial question, and that It bad been permanently determined that this intercourse in fu tare should be confined to British Shipping as an encourage ment both of the Navigation of the Empire, and the general inte r,lts of the. British North American Colonists.—For the present we shall' only call the attention of THE NATION to the ` bl abs coniemolated on this occasion, and refer them to tiro masterly Reports (1) of the Privy Council on this ' u bieet, which are ackn7ledged to have been written by that eminent Statesman, the late Earl of LivEnpoor. : at the same t ' 3l e, however, iecotn:i.ending to the serious consideration cf His Majesty's Government, the brilliant, patriotic, and unanswerable speech of the late Master 'of the Roils, against the American ,Intercourse Bill, which was introduced to Parliament by the Administration of 1808. We recollect the Powerful effect which this celebrated speech produced on the Rouse of Commons, and THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY at that eventful period ; and we well remember the language held by that Admihistration at the opening of the. New Par- L 'atinent in 1807 ; on the opposition which, they said, had been gweri to that ill fated measure by most of the Members of the reaer.t Cabinet.: Sir WILLIAM GRANT, on that occasion, %I:l4 ered an essential service to his Country, and we find on re. • to the (2j'debates, that he was supported by Mr. PER. ttc•''7al., Lord, CASTLEREAGH, Mr.CANNING, Mr. ROSE, Mr. l ' . °l-Tit lf - E, Mr. WALLACE, and some other distinguished ,ads of Mr. PITT. In the Upper House, the Bill was op -24 N' by Lard EL DO , the present PRIME MINISTER, Lord 1. 4 t ..., 11417 z, the Duke of 'MONTROSE, Lord CAMDEN, ''4B2i•EFPIELD,: and seVeral other Peers—and passed with 41Y titer a • 'lion, and limited in its operations, we believe, to M c late w„ . `eke i t for-grated 'the tti 'thet a in a measure of such grave i- Z:, c ;• :.'Majesty's Government- will allow sufficient far the British North Aarerican Colonists, and the Ship- Pl,, ltte rest e to be heard before any proposition is made to z l 4-- `' lr lent on the subject ; for we are informed, but we hope th ' ' ' Z rrt ctlY, that hitherto no communication has been made to th t 2j el. °lants connected with British North America, or to it;;'erchants and Ship Owners at the out-ports, on the sub- Et. % d In the Report of the Privy Council of 1796, we find it that Great Britan can never submit even to treat on e up • t i e PPenrs to'be the favourite object of the United States, h the aa • • ofships into the trade of the eaorassion THEIR t‘ Colcnies, and as the circumstances which led to the : ; 111)°? arY expedients resorted to in the late war, in order to s 'lPPlics f6r the sugar colonies, no longer exist, there is 1i,..,Js sl uittiiftottubid nowlegt be -slowedundonwh ; ich a free intercourse in American for of the competency of British oath 4 Trierica and Newfoundland, and the British Ship oiezi , to supply in abundance all the Planters require, there P rot 80 7 doubt wh atever . I n d ee d, t h e a d vocates o f t h e ''Pesed • d '' inroad on , the Colonial System do not, we un h , venture to allege that there i s a ny o c c a sion in that ' 2:Peet for t h e measure, but openly declare that it is intended ( t e eable the Planter; to get rid of a larger quantity of produce h a- d n .: a : l COw be di s p ose d o f t h rough t h e free ports i n the West 3 el' British North America. We are, however, afraid that the West India Planters will be grievously disappointed, t a :d that they Will not be benefited by the change otherwise the by its accelerating the period of their final separation from onend llother tßatintry ; for it, willerender them en ti re ly d e p en d. the United States; and such is the view which has 137e:teL L ta r. ke n of this subject by the AbbZ, RAYNAL, Monsieur sraArez, and other intelligent writers. It would be much t , e perhaps a more sound policy,at once to permit both t { : 4ll M i est India and British American Colonists to trade in Teri. zt, Shipping DIAECT 0 to parts of the world, th an t o o this great branch " our carrying trade" to the 'nzPihng of the United Stit es and other countries. If there was a possible chance that the great bulk of the West India Produce to be taken in exchange or. PI7IICIIASED by the Ame ricans will be consumed within The Union, theie would pro bably be less objection to the measure ; butthat is_riet to be ex pected by any one correctly informed of the present situation, condition, and temper of the people of the United States. And, therefore, it is to. be apprehended that the greatest part of it will be consignei to Europe without even the delay or expense of re-shipment—for it is not to be expected that the Americans will not resort to similar expedients to facilitate their views and increase their profits as they did when they evaded the stipu lations of the late Treaty respecting their trade -to and from India.. • By adhering to the policy so emphatically enforced by tit 2 Privy Council in 1784 and 1791, a most extensive and profit able employment, especially since 11303, has been afforded to the British Ship Owners, and to the agriculture, trade, and fisheries of British North America 'and Newfoundland. The returns of this trade; printed by order of the House of Com mons for several years past, place this important fact beyond any doubt, and from, which it is evident that any alteration of the present system will entirely annihilate all the 'advantages . the Mother Country hal derived from it. Therefore the real question to be derided by the Legislature,, should this measure be persevered in, is, whether the Colonial System shall be aban doned or not ? For it is idle to contend that such will cult be the effect of this measure. It is our sincere conviction that it will, and that the change intended in this branch of. the Colonial Trade is part of the general revolutionary sys tem about to be entered upon, by . which .the old Miritime and Qolorlial policy of the country is to be • sacrificed to that which is • triumphantly styled " a more enlightened . order of things." For ourselves, we are. still satisfied with the present system, and are not ashamed to walk in the foot steps of our ancestors, who appear t 9 have had more correct views of these great national objects than all-the Modern Eco nomists of the present day. We shall very soon again revert to this interesting and important subject, and endeavour to point out the dangers which will arise from pushing modern theories and notions too far. At the same time we shall be sorry to see any indecision and inconsistency in the Govern ment on a subject of this nature, and on which they expressed themselves without reserve in 1805, and then declared the necessity there was of adhering ta. the old .policy of the Country. What equivalent the Board of Trade intend to offer to British North America, and to the British Carrier, we have not heard. We cannot suppose there is any truth in.tbe remark, that the only protection to be afforded them is, that all American articles imported in American ves sels into the Sugar Colonies are to be subject to duties ! The measure is denied to be a concession to the United States, and therefore the Islands will be open to the ships of all Coun tries : it is, however, pretended to be a boon to the West India Interest, as some small relief in their present . depressed state ; but, surely, a reduction of the duties on West India Produce imported into the Mother Country will be much more effectual, without entailing on other great National Interests the ruin which will inevitably flow from the adoption of this measure.

His Majesty was accompanied by the Master of the Horse, and the Lord Steward. The Clerk of the Closet,•the Bishop of Lincoln, was not in attend ance, we fear through indisposition. In the pew to the right of his Majesty were Lord Mary borough, Sir B. Bloomfield, Sir W. Keppel, Sir Andrew Barnard, Sir Edmund Nagle, and Sir Hilligrove Tumour. The whole of the above Noblemen, Lord Maryborough except ed, were habited in the Windsor uniform, and all wore stars, the Duke of Dorset and Lord Maryborough excepted. The body of the Chapel was crowded with Nobility, &c. admitted by tickets.—The King wore a plain blue coat, with a black stock, the former buttoned closely to, plain, and without the star, or any _species of or nament whatever. In health his Majesty never appeared better, and so devout was his manner, that it enforced a similar observance of the sacred occasion in all present. We understand that the return from India of the Marquess of 11A9TI NGS is at last definitively fixed ; and that he is to succeed Lord STEWART as our Ambassador at the Court of Vienna. The Marquess is known to have long beep anxious to withdraw from his present situation, where he could not be prevailed on to remain ; indeed his resignation has, we understand, been in England upwards of ten months. The education of his family is one powerful motive with his Lordship to revisit Europe.---Report is positive with re gard to the appointment of Mr. CANNING as suc cessor to the Marquess.—(Morning Chronicle.) Yesterday the Duke of York, as Commander in-Chief,- held a Levee at his Office in the Horse Guards, which was attended by General 8.-1. i . General HART, and near thirty Officers. • Yesterday a Committee of the Lords of the Council assembled at the Council-office, White hall; It is said his MAJESTY has determined to .Send the Order of the Garter to Denmark, and that Sir TnokAs TYRwIIIT is to -be -the bearer of it. Lord LONSOALE, who has beeh some time much indisposed, is now recovering very fast. The Hon. GEORGE LAMB has left town, and is a Candidate for the representation of Dungarvon, vacant by the resignation of Captain CLirror.D. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE his great influence in that Borough, and it is likely to be exerted in favour of Mr. LAMB, a Whig, but not of the Radical tribe. Letters were received yesterday, from Bata %ia, dated the middle of November, which state, that the cholera morbus had committed great ra vages among the,Captains of vessels, more parti cularly those belonging to America. Within a few days six Captains of American vessels had been carried off by this dreadful malady. There is a considerable number of Greek fa milies at present in Marseilles. The young females are the principal objects of curiosity ; their dress resembles that of the Lacedemonian women.

The French are acquainted that there will be no ball."

On Monday se'nnight his Majesty's ship Leven, Captai- W. F. Owen; accompanied by the baraeouta, Capt. Cntile:d,' sailed on a voyage of Discovery and Survey, in which ne.rvicesr- ' they will be engaged thrie or four years, exploring the S. • Coast of Africa and the islands adjacent. The chain-pumps. of the Leven are, at the suggestion of her scier“ce Comman der, fitted on a-plan • entirely new 4 by which the pocier of ilie Capstan it applied to the purpose of pumping the chip. It is , the invention of Lieut. E. Edwards, and from 1:3 appli e cation the following advantages are gained, in eases of gran ' and dangerous leaks :—lst, The dischargc of two-fifths more water than any number of men in the usual manner can effect in any given space of time. 2dly, A constant motion of the • pumps is preserved ; whereas in the present mode, by winches, . (few men being able to continue even moderate exertions for more than ten minutes)—great loss of time occurs in the fit , quent change and relief of the pumpers, and each relief has to • commence with the disadvantage of giving a new impetus.- 3dly, A ship's crew may, at watch and watch, in hourly or half hourly spells, continue an incessant action of the pumps for seven or eight days, without very great fatigue ; whereas, with a leak of two-and-a-half or three feet per hour in the usual mode, no time can be allowed for repose, and a ship's crew.are generally exhausted in the short space of 24 hours. It is per, haps proper to observe, that there are but few frequented spots of the Globe, from which, in the space of seven or eight days; a • ship in the greatest distress would not be enabled to reach some port of safety, or obtain succour. 4thly, The Capstan is kept in motion by the ordinary action of walking, with a certain den- gree of pressure applied to the bars, in which the most power- WI muscles of the human frame, and those best edapted to cone tinned action, are employed-steadily and fegularly ; whereas at - "e. the winches, a constant painful bendin g and raieing of the body, with violent action of many smaller muscle!, particularly of tie ' arms, arc required, and by the friction of the winches the skin . is speedily rubbed off the hands, so that men are unable to em- - ploy them even after a cessation of laberar has produced a re covery of strength. sthly, The pumping may be continued, • , and the Capstan employed in taking up one or both of the ate chors, warping the ship into a harbour or shoal water for • greater safety, cr in any other service, as the communication with the chain--pumps does not operate to affect its applicanen for the usual purposes. ,fitly, In battle, the most serious . that can be prcduced may be counteracted without ceasing to fire more than one or two guns on the quarter-deck ;. whereas winches, in such cases, prevent the firing of half the main cc lower-deck battery. It is worthy of notice, that the winches are still left, if under any circumstances the use of them. should to - preferred.
