CITY, MONDAY EVENING

Mercantile intelli,ence has been received. this
morning from various quarters, and that from Odessa is to the
30th ult. At that time there was not any thing new in politics-ex-
cepting the currency of a rumour that the Turks had closed the
Bosphorus against all merchant ships. The only reason which
can be assigned for this act, should the report have any foun-
dation, is the present most favourable state of Greece. The
Turkish fleet has been expelled-from the Archipelago, and the
only chance which now remains to the Sublime Porte of re.
ducing the rebellions Grecian people is by the intervention of
starvation. The liberty of the Mprea is, however, nearly esta-
blished, and the efforts of despotism in the barbarity
cannot now avail even the members of the self-denominated Holy
Alliance. A bright prospect is opening on the human race,
and ancient Greece will soon be able to bestow on mankind be-
nefits as great as those which flowed from the former illustrious
population of that highly favoured portion of the earth.
From St. Petersburgh the letters are dated on the Gth August,
N.S. It is either not convenient, or not fashionable to mention
politics in private communications from this capital of the Czar
of Moscovy. Even the movements of the Erimeror are not alluded
to. Trade was exceedingly depressed, but this depression was a
natural consequence of restrictions and prohibitions in the ex-.
change of commodities necessary for mankind. The Exchange
on London was 9 15-16 a 10d. on Hamburgh 9 1-4 a 9 3-8. The
6 per cent. paper inscriptions were 99., the 6 per cent. silver
loan 94, and the 5. per cent. silver loan 80 3.16. Tallow was
exceedingly dell at 100 rubles, which is considerably above the
future prospects of the English market. Hemp was quoted 85
to 86 rubles, and very little doing. The diStress was great,
but it originated from natural causes. •
The letters from Hamburgh are dated on the 20th August—,
The Exchange on London at two months was 37.1. and for
short paper 37.4.; on St. Petersburgh paper was in demand
at 9, and Austrian Metallic Fives found a brislesale at 80i.
Every other description of Foreign State Securities was in de-
niand, thereby furnishing a melancholy proof of the depression
of commerce. The sales of Coffee and Sugar were exceedingly
heavy, and there.was no article of general consumption which
did not leave a severe loss to all who ventured to speculate. .
Letters have been received from New York which corn-
.municate very distressing intelligence from Beston. At that
city more than two hundred failures had happened, chiefly
amongst the retail dealers. A great many had also taken place
at New York, and much farther distress was anticipated. The
Government of the United States has fallen into commercial mis-
takes, as palpable as those in which the older Governments of
Europe find themselves entangled, and they endeavourto account
for these failures from a temporary deficiency in the circulating
medium., The word temporary is exceedingly consolatory to
Statesmen, for in place of searching out the real causes of public
distress, which often is not convenient, they content themselves
generally with, referring every calamity to what they denominate
temporary causes. America has her high duties and prohibitions.
She wishes to encourage native manufactures at the expence of
her own population. Heavy duties have been imposed on the
consumers in America of British manufitctores, to compel them
to use those of their native country, which cannot be produced
on equal terms with those imported from Great Britain. The
consequence is, that the national wealth is injured by the inhabi-
tants paying more to themselves for what they consume than the
same articles could be purchased for from foreign nations. The
present mercantile distress in America clearly flows from the in-
habitants being compelled to pay more than is necessary, and con-
sequently more than their productive labour can afford for articles
necessary to their comfort'. They are also injured by an evil the
necessary attendant on high and prohibitory duties. Smuggling
has been carried to a destructiee extent. The transfer of _British
manufactures from Canada to the United States has greatly added
to the national distress ; for those who consume these smuggled
articles pay more for them than they could be obtained for by
direct commerce. The just tradesman, who paid the Govern-
ment duties on. European manufactures, has been undersold
by the smuggler; and the present distress and ruin amongst
American traders is the sure consequence of restricted com-
merce. The fair trader has been destroyed, whilst he who has
evaded the laws of his country has probably been more successful.
Free trade will, when nations understand their real interest,
cure all these calamities ; and the next Session of the British
Parliament will, it is hoped, show an example of liberal com-
merce. At Loyd's Coffee-house, this day, the first vessel acting
under the extension of the Navigation Laws has arrived in the
Downs, from Jamaica. She is called the Alknomack. Her
cargo is naturally kept secret, and she is bound either to llam-
burgh or Amsterdam. No doubt can be entertained of the ad-
vantages which must result to the British Colonies from the
permission to go direct to the best market having been grant-
ed to them, without incurring the expence of agency and-tran-
shipping charges ; and the Empire will be more prosperous,
by the application of equal privileges toy every department,
either of import or export commerce. Lloyd's books this
day again exhibit a melancholy list of lost property. The
Fame, Captain CLARKE, a very valuable ship, from Cal.
cutta and Madras to London, carrying more than one thou.
sand tons of goods, has peen totally wrecked on the 14th of
June, at the Cape of Good Hope. Mr. COFFIN, the purser;
Mrs. MILLS, Miss BANKS, and five other passeuers (invalids),
perished. The Grace, Captain Letherbridge, another valuable
ship, with wool, &c. from New South lirales for England, was
accidentally burnt on the Ist June at the Cape. Information
has also been received that the Zephyr, Captain Lumsdale, on
her passage from Jamaica to London, was boarded on the 7th
July by a schooner of two guns and 35 men,which took away a
part of the cargo and threw the remainder overboard. Captain
Lumsdale was obliged to pay to the piratedoubloons and silver to
the amount of 15001. to prevent them from burning the ship. All
the passengers were robbed of their property, and the Mate was
detained on board the pirate. This is a curious case, and should
be well inquired into by the underwriters. If it can be per-
fectly authenticated, then the strongest remonstrances should
be forwarded to the Admiralty ; for it is scandalous that the
mighty British Navy is not permitted to protect the commerce
of the empire. The British merchants round Cape Horn are
trusting for protection of their property to an American
74 gun ship, and a merchant ship cannot come from Jamaica
to London with any degree of safety. The empire is distressed,
but the navy never can be called the cause. To reduce the mi-
litary and to increase the navy would confer the greatest be-
nefit on the commerce of the country. Acknowledged Agents,
hoWever, in the new South American Free States would do more
good in routing out piracy in the Southern Seas than even se-
veral men of war could effect; and it is deeply to be lamented
that the British Government should hesitate in admitting a fact
so notorious as the perfect freedom of Haiti, Colombia, Melt ico
Chili, anti Peru,

A letter has been received, via Biemen, from Capt. THOM-
SON, of the Greenland ship Perseverance, dated on the 7th July,
in about lat. 71. At that time he had onlylaken one fish, and
States that the season had been very unfavourable, and that, most
of the ships were badly fished. The want of arrivals of ships
from Greenland and Davis's Straits at so late a period, rather
strengthens the fears of an unsuccessful season.
The regular communications from Liverpool respecting
trade are exceedingly unfavourable. During the last week,
1,060 hogsheads of plantation sugar hid been sold at nearly
the prices of the preceding week, and nothing had been
done by private contract. Six hundred bags of Bengal Sugar
had been sold at 685., for fine yellow,' inferior and middiing
white at 695. 6d. a 715., and good fine at 735. u 745. 6d, Two
small parcels of ordinary Coffee had been withdrawn for want
of buyers, and very little had been done in this article by pri-
vate contract. Good Pimento was tqa. per lb., and Jamaica
Rum of prime quality was from 2s. 3d. to 2s. sd. a gallon. The
sales of Cotton during the week amounted to about 5,300 bags.
The demand was very limited, and consequently very dull.
Sea Island was sold at lid a 204 d., and Pernambuco at 9,id.
a 103 d. per lb. Very little was doing in Tobacco ; Virginia
leaf at public sale brought 20. if lid. being the same as the
private prices..--(Morning Chronicle.)
