Mails arrived this morning from various guar ters. They bring letters from Constantinople, dated on the 10th September. These contain nothing new from the Morea, and thereby establish the advantages which the unfortunate but gallant Greeks have obtained over the barbarians. A letter from Zante, of the 19th August, states, that the Greeks were in full possession of the country, girded by the Gulf of Lepanto, but that the Turks only allowed them to keep possession until the fruit season closed, when they hoped to be rewarded by the gathered fruits of the earth, for the murder of the inhabitants. The cause of liberty and of true religion must, however, yet succeed in that country, for the only alternative to the Christian inhabitants is death or emigration. The Sultan, like a true legitimate, had ordered his beloved Mahomedan subjects no longer to use English imitation or Indian shawls, nor any thing which bordered on comfort, but to content themselves with the most economical dresses and turbans. In his legiti mate power he had also ordered them to carry to the mint all the silver, plate, or ornaments which they had in their houses, for which, however, this Brother of the Sun and Moon allowed them nearly 4s. an ounce. From Odessa the letters give a most wretched description of the situation of the Russian army on the banks of the Pruth. They are without shoes and necessary clothing, and discontent amongst them is almost at its greatest height. Orders have been received in England for various articles of clothing, but the credit fixed are not sufficiently good to render their execu tion prudent. The Holy Alliance has more to attend to than its own legitimate wishes, and the power of circumstances may yet induce its Members to do justice to humanity. They may rest assured that the liberties of Greece and the free Constitu tions of Spain and Portugal do not entirely depend on their determinations, though no doubt their power may fel a while restrain them. Their labour, however, to maintain the pre sent system, by attempting to limit the progress of the human mind towards a perfection in knowledge, and by saying to ci vilization, " thus far and no farther shalt thou proceed," will prove as vain as it is presumptuous. From St. Petersburgh the letters are dated on the 24th Sep tember, at which time trade was extremely dull. The exchange was at 9. 30-32. to 10. About 800 casks of tallow had been purchased at 110 rubles, with a credit of two months. Here this day this article is worth 455. and in some instances 455. 6d. The importation of hemp this season is not equal in quality to that of last year, and the Navy Board has been forced to reject various parcels offered to them by the contractors. They have, however, permitted them either to cancel their contracts, or to execute them by purchases of hemp already in the market, which has given more life to fine quality, though nothing can be quoted above 375. per cwt. In the value of the English Funds there is this day very little alteration. The Three per cents Reduced are 811 I. Consols, 82k , 811, 82i.—Four per cents Old, 994 a, and the New, 102, 1011, 1021.

" I trust that the confidence which now exists between us may not only continue, but be increased and more firmly ce mented by a longer and,more perfect knowledge of each other ; as I am convinced that only one sentigiAnt prevails in common • with us all—that of an anxious and ht felt desire to endevour to promote the general good of the public ; and, with such sen timents, I yet entertain a sanguine hope that all eyes may be turned to that alone ; and that tranquillity, harmony, and happiness, may be restored to the country by the well com bined co-operation of all the branches of the Legislature. " Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly, " The present house appearing (with very few exception) to consist of the same members as those of the last year, it may not be improper for me now to express to them and to their Speaker my very warmest thanks for the general kind attention shewn to my wishes,- publicly and officially made known to them ; and I most sincerely and feelingly regret, that my last should have proved an exception ' • as I trust I speak with no erroneous confidence when I say, Gentlemen, there is not one among you who will not do me the justice to believe that my message to the Speaker, conveying an especial call of the House, accompanied by a document explanatory of my reasons for that call, did not proceed from any desire to dictate to the House, but unequivocally and solely from an earnest and heartful desire to promote the welfare of the community by the expression of my wish, which had ever previously met with so much kind atten tion ; and now, acting from the Very same feelings and consi dering it my duty, as well as that of the other branches of the legislature, to endeavour to relieve the severe and cruel sufferings under which the poor of St. Michael's have too long been labour ing (and more particularly when the very existence of some may be at stake by delay), I do again beseech you, in the name of humanity, no longer to allow any cause to shut your ears to the loud cries of the poor, but to afford them some prompt and permanent relief, .by rui immediate act for a levy to be raised by the late vestry of St. Michael's, and to add a clause to the Bill now in force, to oblige all future vestries to act until new ones may be elected. " Since the last meeting of the Council, the draught of a Bill for the amendment of the Slave Laws has been shown to me ; on which, in the present stage of the business, I can have nothing to remark more than to state, for your general informa tion, that I cannot affix my name to any Bill, enacting a new capital offence, unless it shall contain a clause suspending the execution thereof until the same shall have received his Majesty's approbation. " I would strongly recommend to your attention the nume rous evils which constantly arise from the want of a police in Bridge Town ; with the hope that you may, after the due con sideration of a subject of such great importance, be enabled to enact a well-framed bill for the establishment of an effective and energetic one, which might include all the various branches necessary for the preservation of good order, as well as those for the prevention of the improper landing of aliens, and of per sons labouring under infectious diseases. In my humble opi. nion, such a measure would prove one of the most beneficial which could possibly be adopted for the good of your country. " I shall now, Gentlemen, conclude by offering you all my hearty congratulations on the present truly cheering prospect of most plentiful crops of every description, which, by a continu. ante of God's blessings, I entertain a well founded hope may be brought to maturity, and in great measure tend to relieve the country from its sufferings and distress." ** There is an introduction to this Speech in The Times of this day, probably from a private correspondent, of too disrespectful a character towards the Governor for admission in our Paper, FOREIGN TRADE OF THE COUNTRY REPORT. (Continued from Yesterday': Sux.) RAMSGATE IIARBOUtt. Your Committee next directed their inquiry to Ramsgate Harbour, and the dues collected for sapport of it, which are of an amount sufficient to press heavily upon the shipping and commerce of the country ; and which have been a cause of serious complaint on the part of British and foreign shipowners, nor in the opinion of your Committee, without justice : the charge is made on all ships above a certain tonnage, that may pass, whether to the east or west side of the Sand, al. though many by their size and draught of water are precluded from entering the harbour; and a practice has prevailed in re gard to foreign ships, of exacting a payment upon ships ca. pahle of entering, at a rate amounting to double that on Bri tish ships of the same description, and upon those which are unable to enter, about 4001. per cent. more, both prospectively and retrospectively. The management of Ramsgate harbour has, by several Acts of Parliament (continued and enlarged by the 55th Geo, 111. c. 74), been placed under trustees, from whom a Committee of Direction is chosen, consisting of the chairman and deputy chairman for the time being, with the addition of the deputy master of the Trinity House ; these are elected by ballot, at a general meeting of the trustees annually held ; 3001. are taken annually from the funds, and divided amongst the members of the Committee, by whom the busi ness is done. The trustees hold an annual meeting at Rams gate, where a building for that purpose has been erected. In London, a house is also provided for the monthly meet ings of the Committee, where a permanent establishment is kept up. The rates established by act of Parliament are, upon British ships passing the harbour, three-pence per ton, if tin der 300 tons; one penny per ton, if above 300 tons; and, 'if laden, the owners are authorized by the act to receive the amount payable for the voyage from the proprietors of the cargo. The rates upon foreign vessels, whether passing to the eastward or to the westward of the Goodwin Sand, are sixpence per ton, if under 300 tons; and four-pence per ton, if above 300 tons; which dues have been, till - lately, collected from foreign vessels passing from foreign port to foreign port, prospectively and re trospectively. But since the subject has been under inquiry, your Committee have been informed that orders have been given for this practice to be discontinued, which they mention with satisfaction, from having reason to believe that a subject of great dissatisfaction will thereby be removed. Under the Act of the 32 Geo. 111. c. 74, and 37 Geo. 111. c. 89., masters of foreign ships arriving with cargoes for a British port, are authorised to reimburse themselves from the consignees or proprietor. The rates payable under the Act were three-pence per ton ; but the Act of 55 Geo. 111., which augmented the rate to sixpence per ton, is silent as to the re covery from the owners of the cargo ; so that the rate by that Act is raised 100 per cent., and the right of reimbursement from the cargo no longer expressly continued. By the same Act, the trustees have a discretionary power of lowering the rates, and the monies collected are directed to be applied to wards enlarging, building, finishing, maintaining, supporting, and improving the harbour, and in defraying all other expences which shall be incurred in carrying the act into execution. Your Committee have already adverted to the exaction of a duty from vessels for the support of the harbour, which, under no circumstances, they are capable of entering. The preamble to one of the Acts before mentioned assigns,as the reason for imposing a rate upon vessels of this description, that, as the harbour provides shelter for small vessels, it will have the effect of affording more room for ships to ride in the Downs ; and it cannot be denied, that to a certain extent, this benefit is derived from it ; when a gale of wind sets in from the south-west, and is of any continuance, the number of ships which collect in the Downs is said to be occasionally very great, and, at certain seasons, becomes such as to render the anchorage unsafe- In such cases, vessels of a moderate size seek shelter in Ramsgate harbour, and, so far, the larger ships receive advantage. But, whatever the advantages may be, they do not appear to your Committee equivalent to the heavy bur den entailed upon the shipping by which they are purchased, and they therefore submit to the consideration •of the House the expediency of discontinuing the rate upon all ships beyond the tonnage which the harbour is capable of admitting . , namely, of 300 tons, and upwards, the amount of rates on which ; ac cording to the return for the year 1820, is about 2,8001. per ann. The imposition of a duty, to which the act has subjected all ships that, in the course of navigation from foreign port to foreign port, must unavoidably pass Ramsgate, but do not approach it, whether passing to the eastward or the westward of Good win Sands, is very questionable. It could never be intended that a foreign ship sailing from Rotterdam to Calais should be liable to the Ramsgate harbour clues ; these, however, are claimed, and form a subject of complaint, in the opinion of your Committee so reasonable, that it ought to be removed. The sums which have at various times been expended on Ramsgate harbour are stated to amount to no less than 1,500,0001. ; and it appears from the evidence of Mr. Rennie, that although he estimates the amount required to complete the works at about 52,0001., he is of opinion that it is not unlikely 150,000/. may he required for that ,purpose. Your Committee do not question the accommodatitin.the harbour has the means of afrording to shipping of a particular class ; but they are not of opinion that any increase of the harbour will be attended with additional adVantage to the shipping, and that some limit ought to be imposed on the receipts to prevent any further increase, and to enforce economy, that the trade may not continue to be burdened, either in point of time or amount, beyond what abso lute necessity demands, consistently with certain expences on works and repairs to be incurred. Your Committee have consi dered whether all the shipping may not, to a certain extent, be immediately relieved. The trustees have a power under the seventh section of the 55th George 111, c. 74, of raising monies upon the credit of the rates, to the extent of 50,0001., the repayment to be secured by mortgage thereof. The esti mate by Mr. Rennie, of the sum required to complete the works amounts to 52,000/. ; and it appears in evidence, that if no more than the present number of workmen are employed, it will take about seven years to finish them. Your Committee are of opinion that such of the repairs as are considered to be absolutely necessary, ought for the accommodation of the pub lic to be completed with every possible despatch, and that per sons should immediately he contracted with by public tender to execute the works to be performed within a given time, to be done under the general superintendence of the engineer. That the trustees should raise in the manner authorized by the act the necessary funds for that purpose, by which they would be enabled at once to discontinue the rates on ships above 300 tons, and to equalize the duties on foreign ships with those on Bri tish ships, and reduce the rates upon all vessels bound to or from foreign ports. The amount of the annual revenues of the trust is about 20,0001. per annum, arising from rates and permanent capital ; and the charges of the establishment, according to the evidence of the Chairman of the Committee of management, 26 per cent., rather more than one fourth of the total receipts ; which ap pears to your Committee a very heavy charge, and susceptible of considerable reduction. Out of the receipts 2001. are annually paid to the corpora tion of Sandwich. On the subject of this payment, there is some conflicting evidence; on the one hand it is stated that the harbour of Ramsgate is rather an advantage than a detriment to the port of Sandwich ; on the other, that considerable injury is sustained from it, for which the sum in question is no more than a fair compensation. It appears that the payment was originally established in the year 1748, and was founded upon a report of a Committee of the House of Commons, in conse quence of a petition from the town of Sandwich. Your Com. mittee not having before them sufficient evidence to come to a satisfactory conclusion in respect to this charge, do not feel it incumbent upon them at present to tecommend the discontinu , ance of it. Having examined the accounts of revenue and expenditure produced to them, your ComMittee beg to submit a calculation, formed upon an estimated reduction in the rates, &c., which, in relieving the shipping, will, as they believe, provide a suffi cient fund for the establishment and contingencies. The number of tons of British shipping under 300 tons register, which, according to the returns made in 1820, passed Ramsgate harbour, are 816,733 tons, which, at 1 Ad. per ton, proposed rate, being one-half less than the present, will yield - £5,10411 8 Number of tons of foreign shipping under 300 tons, which passed Ramsgate harbour during the like period, 154,897 tons, at the reduced rate lid. per ton 968 2 1 Colliers, 307,881 tons, at lid, per ton - 1,924 5 2 Vessels laden with stone, 15,353 tons, at 1 idper ton 96 0 0 .4.:8092 18 1I Interest on 5,000/. :1 per cent. capital stock, it being proposed to appropriate 15,0001. of the whole, say 20,0001. towards the monies required for com pleting the repairs, leaving 5,0001. as a reserve Rents at Ramsgate of houses, &c.

In concluding, your Committee beg to repeat a suggestion offered in a former part of their Report, that, with a view to the accommodation of the Made, the collection of all the rates may be consolidated, and that the Trustees should authorize the collection of the dues payable in London by the Trinity Corporation, at their office on Tower hill ; a commis sion of two and a half per cent, being allowed the Corporation for the trouble of collecting them. (To be concluded in our next.] Ma. EDITOII,—As a return to Paper Cur rency has been represented as a matter wholly impracticable, as attended with infinitely greater disadvantages, and subjected to much greater objections than a perseverance in the change o f system under which the Nation is now groaning, and may be fairly considered as approaching to utter disorganization, it may not be amiss to en quire into those comparative disadvantages, and place matters in a just point of view before the Public. in the first place, it is said that the one is at the best but an artificial currency ; the other, the Metallic, the more sane and sure mu. as a medium of exchange between country and country and individual with individual. This must of necessity be granted ; but from the mo ment that Mr. Pitt was necessitated to change the currency frOm metal to paper, from that instant it became artificial, and by that, and that alone, did he raise funds for carrying on the war, sub sidizing Allies, and in the end concluding that war with ho - nour and advantage to his country.— During the whole of its continuance, England was never subjected to any material loss or in convenience,. whilst, without the assistance of that currency it could not have been supported for a single year. The arch-Tyrant of Europe must, had his reign been prolonged, have con tinued so to this hour ; and the whole of the European Continent subjected to the despotism of France-. Heavy taxes were imposed, and quietly submitted to through the means alone of that currency, which is now deemed so perni cious, nor was the weight of them felt as oppres sive whilst the power of paying them was ren dered easy by the application of those means. Had that gi-eat Minister lived to this time could he have heard his system so unjustly de cried, with any degree of patience, or have suf . , fered a debt of upwards of 600 millions incurred under it to fall with oppressive and ruinous weight, on an already over-taxed kingdom ? It scarcely needed such penetration, as he possessed to have perceived the injustice and impracticability of such a change of system, or such political pru dence as his, to have counteracted it by all the means in his power. He would have seen at a single glance the utter incompatibility of low prices and high taxation, and not have uselessly endeavoured to render one consistent with the other. He could have seen that, the moment metallic was substituted for paper currency, an addition of 30 per cent. was made on all our taxes, and never have given his sanction to so evidently ruinous an attempt. So much for the exclusive expediency and propriety of the measure; ano ther objection lies on the score of our manufac turers, who, it is said, cannot sustain higher prices than the present; to which the plain and obvious answer is, that they must be content to pay the prices at which the cultivator of the land can afford to sell at, and it would be far preferable in a national point of view, that 10 or 4 20,000 of them should be thrown out of work, and compelled to take up the plough, the spade, and the hoe, than that a million or two, or per haps double or treble that number, of sturdy cul tivators, should be forced into foreign countries, or reduced to parochial assistance in this. A. man of that description, it has been repeatedly and truly said, cannot be converted into a manufac turer ; the loom, the shuttle, and the spindle, would be wholly useless in his hands, whilst every manufacturer could be soon taught to ma nage the plough, the spade, the cart, and every implement of husbandry. But such necessity looks only to the worser and more desperate side of the question, as it does not seem probable that any such would be imposed upon them, a fair reduction of manufacturers profits would probably be the sole consequence, whereas the continuance of the present system, involving the whole landed property of the kingdom in inevi table ruin, deprives those manufacturers of their home-market, greatly more than equal to all foreign markets inclusive, and consequently acts greatly more to their disadvantage than a com pulsion to pay such a price for their provisions as the British cultivator can afford to sell them at. A further objection derives from the course of exchange, which they say would be materially effected by a recourse to the paper system. This objection may carry with it some weight, but none comparatively with a conti nuance in the present absolutely ruinous system, for why should that difference be greater now than it was for upwards of the last twenty years, and what loss or even what inconvenience was then felt from it ? Did not our commerce and manufactures flourish, and was not plenty and happiness diffused through the land, whilst that artificial currency was continued in all its trans actions external and internal, public and private, throughout the kingdom ? What at the worst is a depreciation-of 30r4 or 5 per cent. to the po verty, the misery, and wretchedness now stalking with giant steps through every part of the land ? It is further said, that the consumers greatly ex ceeding the producers, a Minister adopting any measure tending to enhance prices, would imme diately become unpopular, and be borne down by the general outcry ; but even this consideration would have little weight with a wise and magna nimous Minister who, seeing and feeling the ne cessity of a measure, should look only to ulti timate consequences, regardless of idle and un founded popular clamour : what he sees for the substantial benefit of the nation, he should wisely and magnanimously adopt and steadily pursue, looking only to the salvation of a state which he has undertaken to govern, with honour to himself and ultimate advantage to the general community.
