NUDE WIT!! SOUTH AMERIVA.

The fUllowing communications have tates place
between the Buirrd or Admiralty and a Merchant in
the City. We trust the acquiescence in this appli-
coition is an nmeirof a better disposition than has
heretofore existed, to extend protectita to the trade
with the Spanish Main:—

TO TIM RIODT HOROURARLI THU LORDS CDII-
- OP THB ♦DMIRALTY.

Mw Mina—The Petition of the Nindertigned
Merchant humbly represents to your Lordships--
That the manifactoriog iaterests of these resting was,
within a few years paw, In an alarming date of depression.
Thet this depression arose from a wont of demigod frets
weighbooring countries, which Row assoisfactrwe their own
goods, and wisuy of which are Making 'forte to become ex-
porters of the brill les which they formerly received from us.
That the snaaefacturers have oily been relieved from the
apprcheasios• which were lately so •ppelliug, by an ones-
peeled god increased &mood arialog mainly &owl a mete
trade with the lueepeadent States of tooth America, and
with our poeseesions in the East Indies.
That the prod.. of Ike maisufacturers are now very small,
calculating the current prices of goods to Eng'sod.
That law piero ore necessary to the continuance of their
present prosperity; successfully to compete orftb foreign pro-
duce, to induce a growing constrain ills in new COUnirieo.
That every this; which tends to prevent the free egress of
mandectures, to remove confidessee in the security of ester.
prise, or lo increase the expenses of shipments, must operate
to reader more distapt that period of prioperity, which will
serve to increase demigod, sod which inuaufacturere look for-
ward to in the New World.

Thal the exports of taanareetiores to hussies Bad the
Wind Indian Irelands have of late years been important.
That the goods so reported were third, sold to the mato-
lead.

That the idea of a regular and established commerce di.
►eel to the muidand, easablioi ramsufaetur. ra and oarreh.oto
to avoid the expenses of totermediato porta, prevents ship-
ments to J.maica.

That the shipments to the saminlaed are prevented by in-
security fur our ships arising from She extensive depredations
committed by pirates hi the wrsterm seas.
Tbat besides the spodiatio■ of property, She atrocious bar-
barities committed on smarmed and helpless individuals are
so frightful as to create s'arm, and to proem men from um-
raertaking the voyage.
Thai if it be possible for men, calculatiog t►e profits of

fell at briar instrumental in rzposiog men to sorb barba-
rity, rapserousuesa, and evro dr sib.
That the assurers dens/tad lugs. for a risk to the main.
load, which, wader ordinary circumstances, ought to be dune
from t to 3its. per tent.
That it is men d.fficult to ensure at this emormons pre-
visions.

That although shippers may be induced, in a limited de.
ree, to submit to such a burden, they do not feel that us-
dertak lugs which are made with so much risk, and so much
doubt as to their arriving at their destiestion, can fairly be
considered as operatives resting on such Dimity as mer-
chants might to look for.
That the proteetioa given by America to her commerce
with the New World, ensures to her subjects a pre cedeore in
markets which we shall lose, sod the efiaris to supprees a
✓are of marauders, fneastdahle as a power in a state of war-
fare, will ensure to them advantages which are still wilbia
our reach.
That a continuance of the difficulties which now exist
moat tend to make the ships of other nations the carriers to
Columbia, and iiiinre in some degree our shipping Worst
Your Pei:dieser humbly adds, that be is Meanly interested
in the coinmeree to the mainlaad.
That heisas already chartered one ship, the Mary, fur Ms-
racaybo, and soother for the same destination is allbot to
proceed; and although to his humble capacity as an initivi-
doid he claims little •I your Lordship.' hands, yet, as speak.
ing for the interests of a large commosity, he would humbly
bop, that your Lordships will take into sour serious coosi-
deratioo the best means to give security to a trade which
promises to become • sows ce of wealth to our country, and to
give •nimatioa to that spirit of industry, which has made
England abet she is, and which is, iu truth, the basis of her
glop, stud pre.einineuce.
Your Petitioner does reit presume to know what steps may
have been taken to alleviate these complaints, hot British
merchants repose • confidence lo his Maje.,,ty's Goveniment
that no measure will be neglected which can increase the
nation's proeperity, or justify that curifideoce : but your Pe-
titioner world humbly beg that publicity might be gives
to every messuse %loch, cousistently with the na:sun's
welfare, could be made known, tending to remove the
difficulties which your Petitioner humbly, but imper-
fectly sets forth, and to alleviate the fears so common-
ly entertained. He would presume to suggest to your
Lordships, that much good would be dune fur securing the
trade with Colombia by appointing a station for convoy
from an island to the windward, such u Barbadoes or St.
Vincent; Curacua would be still better, if the measure he

'moment. This tee ens so necessary, that he would implore
your Lordship§ to teLel on it, and to give to it efficiency
without delay, if in your Lordships' judgment you should
deem it expedient.
Your Petitioner is aware that convoys are granted et fa-
males; but he would humbly state that this station maims
well for the ports of Santa Martha, Carthage's., and the
pens in the Golf of Mexico, but it is too much to leeward
to answer the purposes for mewls bound to the important
ports of Laguira and M ybo.
Your Petitioner would desire likewise humbly to represent,
that from the comparatively little direct intercourse which
has exiated with Colombia and the mainland, the assurers
have many doubts as to the knowledge of navigators of the
coast ; and it is highly desirable that your Loidslops would
trite such steps on this subject as your Lordships may damn
fit • and your Petitioner in thus presuming to address your
L.dsliips begs leave to express his confidence that although
be does so as an humble individual, there would exist no
difficulty to obtaining to the sense of his Petition a multi.
plicity of signatures: he relies not the less on your Lord-
ships judgment and operative . , and he would hum-
bly beg your Lordohips would give him such an early 110W/-
taboo of what your Lordship. may thigh 61 to do, u will
relieve him from the difficulties he is soder in effecting is-

coach had the care of property from four different
Banks, to the amount of 40,000/., and having been
obliged to leave the coach for one minute, the bag
was stolen. Our thousand pounds reward w offered.

bery. We are happy to add, thiit they were•cap-
tared by the City Officers, with the valuable pack
age in areir possession.
