iro.okt THE ITALIAN FIIONTIEII3, MAY 31.1
The differences between the Porte and the Albanian Chiefs
.become more serious, and will probably be attended with most
*Portant consequences. The perfidious means adopted by
Redschid Pacha to get rid of some of these chiefs have done
ire injury to the Turkish Government than the loss of two
bats, ,::1-etieral discontent prevaile, and only those tribes
zernain &wird to the Turks which are at open war
ith them, to which above-mentioned chiefs belong.-
I(lechid Pacha mutt be on ii,!‘ guard ; several attempts
have already been nude on his lira by Athenians, and
it 18 said that some enterprising youths have Yawed to deliver
hitq uP, dead or alive, to the families whom he has deprived of
their chiefs. Redschid's expedition against the Greeks has ter.;
urinated in a disgraceful manner, and he has been more unfor-
tunate than even Mustapha Pacha of Scuturi, and Derwisch
Piteha• The latter, who commands the army in Thessaly, but
under Redachid, has fulfilled his instructions, and sent half his
troops to Vrachori, to join the Seraskier, intending to go with
the other half from Zeitouni to Thebes, and join the Pacha of
who is to come by.way ofAthens as soon as Redschid
:1-11(1 advance from Etolia against Lepanto. But the Greeks
•reiravare of the intentions of the enemy : the first half of the
peli,"3l4lian army Pail surprised and defeated at Plocopari; that
z "adechid was completely overthrown in the defiles of Mount
Ig°lll and Dervisch, on hearing of these events, would not
vde„nt_ duck the
into Livailia, and the measures taken by Goon, in-
. selcie: the Dacha of Negropont to return to that island. Red-
todeavouring to aesernble a new army at Arta ; he has
r_:_moned the Pacha of Scutari to assist him, and he expects
forcenums from Borah, De:viten Pacha is to organize A

new army of Kestine, composed of the newly arrived troops
from Bornia and Rtunelia.—(Artzremburg Correspondent,

Jamaica l'apers have been received at the Ja-
maica Cofft•e-house to the Ist May. The follow-

ing are extracts :

[From the Courant of the 2904 April.]

We learn that the Spanish frigate Arethusa touched at St.
Jago de Cuba a few days ago with a Colombian brig of war,
El Tinanti, which she captured off St. Domingo. The frigate
left the prize at St. Jago, and proceeded for the Havant:alt.
The Arethusa was front Ferrol, last from Porto Rico.

A meeting of merchants and other inhabitants of the city of
Kingston was held at the Court house yesterday, to take into
consideration the propriety of submitting to his Majesty's Go-
vernment a Memorial for opening the ports of the British West
India Islands to the goods and vessels of all nations.
The following is an abstract of the Resolutions:—
" Resolved, That the meeting feel it their duty to represent
to his Majesty's Government the decay in the trade in this and
other West India Islands with South America and Mexko, to
point out the causes, and to submit humbly for their considera-
tion the remedy for those evils.
" Resolved, That the Memorial read to the meeting, for the
objects mentioned in the first Resolution, is approved of."
Sir John Kean and suite arrived at Port Royal yesterday, in
his Majesty's ship Rattlesnake.

The House of Commons last night, went into
a Committee on the Customs Duties Consolida-
tion Bill. The object of this Bill is sufficiently
explained by the forgoing title. The provisions.
however, give effect to some of those doctrines of
free trade and unrestricted commerce, which
were promulgated to Parliament by Mr. Hum's-
sox in the commencement of the present Session.
This effect is produced by the lowering of the duty
hitherto charged on the importation of a great va-

riety of articles, and especially by the removal of
those high duties wl.ich were imposed with the
avowed purpose of protecting British manufac-
tures and preventing competition at home. But
the lowering of the import duties, and the re-
moval of the protecting duties, is not the only
way in which these newly-discovered doctrines
of Freedom of Trade have been brought into

operation ; they have been extended to the
navigation systetr of the United Kingdom, and
entered more or less into almost every branch of

our commerce. These doctrines are so si►nple,
so easy to be understood, and so attractive, that
they catch supporters upon all hands; and we
begin to wonder at the notions our forefathers must
have entertained upon these most important sub-
jects; and how they could be so blind as not
to perceive they were pursuing a wrong course to
reach the utmost degree of national prosperity.
It is therefore in no small degree hazardous on

our parts that we venture to express our doubts
of the policy that would introduce the doctrines
of Freedom of Trade in their fullest extent, into
every branch of our Commercial system, and to
support the opinions of our ancestors in a
partial degree. Unquestionably if the whole
and sole object of British policy is to promote
commerce, no one can doubt the propriety of
the measures of this Session of Parliament, no
one will hesitate to say but that they will
he fully and to the highest degree successful
and that the Commerce of the Country will more
and more encrease in proportion as these opinions
gain ground and are brought into operation.
Indeed the removal of all the protecting duties,
and the extinguishment of ail custom duties, ex-
cept such as are wanted for the purposes of re-
venue; the removal of distinctions as to shipping
and the national character of the Seamen, would
only tend to give a greater stimulus to Bri-
tish trade. But some of these duties are pre-
served, the distinction of shipping and the
character of the seamen are still in some (per-
haps many, but not to the extent they previously
existed) instances kept up. And what would
this fact prove? might not this inference be drawn
from it ? viz. that notwithstanding the applauses
and approbation of his country, notwithstanding
the partial success of his measures, Mr. Ilus-
KISSON t►as an opinion lurking in the bottom of
his breast, that former Statesmen did not adopt
the restrictive system without a full know-
ledge they thereby prevented, the full and
speedy growth of commerce, a lurking idea that
they looked to commerce as secondary only, as
subservient to some overpowering consideration
that he had lost sight of (for we will not say he
could see it if he would,) for the encouragement
or promotion of which commerce was absolutely
and essentially necessary. Ile must have had a
twitching at his mind now and then, that such a
man as Lord Someits did not write his excel-
lent pamphlet, On the Necessity of Preserving
Inviolate the Principles 'of the Navigation Act,
merely to advocate a policy that was founded in
error, or which it w as perfectly unnecessary to
attend to. This something, this weighty con-
sideration that Mr. HUSICISSON would not sec,aud
which the great Lord SOkiERS so ably advocated,
was the naval ascendancy of Great Britain ;
her maritime strength, which has constituted her
by right the Queen of Ocean; as she is by na-

Lure the Queen of Islands. To promote this
great purpose, our forefathers laboured illost as-
siduously. The object was never lost sight of
from the time of the Commonwealth to the '26
GEO. 3d, when a Ship Registry was for the first
time proposed, and an Act of Parliament passed,
to carry the plan into execution. This Ast con-
fined all the privileges of British ships to ships
having a Register, and which Register was de-
nied to every ship not British built -and
British owned. -Since that time the navigation
system. has
:been upon the decline. During all
the late war its principles were either wholly or
partially suspended, and notwithstanding the ne.
cessity of the case was most apparent, numberless
pamphlets, and amongst them that whose title we
have quoted, appeared deprecating the departure
from a system that had raised this country to the
highest pitch of naval glory. Ilow far,then,the pre-
sent plans of Mr.ll uslossos have been forined with
a due regard to this first and most important policy
of the British Government, within his closet, we
cannot say ; but the result of his consideration, as
given to the world, would lead us to believe, that
if it did occur to him, he. thought the.falurc losses
that might arise by abandoning the system ought
to give way -to the present gain, which he
saw was sure, and stood before him soliciti►';
acceptance. The temptation was too strong
to be resisted, and so he drowned the still
small voice of naval ascendancy in the loud ap-
plauses of success, and carried his measures to
Parliament for approbation, and obtained it. We
have our fears upon the subject, that when the
time shall arrive (and long very long may
it be averted) and we shall be called upon
to put forth our naval strength, although
we si►all not perhaps find it diminished, we

shall find enemies more able to Cope with us,
and whose strength is derived from free com-
merce with England. Throughout all the dis.
cussions on the Bills that. so - nearly affect the
most vital interests of the country, the necessity
of RreserVing our Naval strength, by making
our commerce subservient to'it, was never ad-
verted to, as chewing in the strongest light the
impolicy of a general application of the doctrines
of Freedom of Commerce to our Navigation
system. These doctrines were adopted as fa-
vourable to commerce, without reference to other
considerations, and because every body was
aware that commerce unrestrained was far more
profitable than commerce subject to restrictious.
We have it in our power to prove, that under the
new navigation system, the quantity of foreign
tonnage that entered the British ports,. have in-
creased in a 'very large -rti lohilst that of Bri-
tish tonnage has decreased, although not in the
same proportion.

SIB ROBERT W1L50,/..--rn seems to he the ge-
neral wish that this Gentleman should be restored
to the service. He was certainly a spirited and
able officer, and a zeal for the liberties of man-
kind prompted him to volunteer in sepport of
those liberties in other countries. As to any po-
litical mistakes into which he may have fallen at
homeonuch may be ascribed to the heat of Party,
by which the soundest minds haVe often been
misled. What passed in the House of Commons
last night may 'be considered as a test of pub-
lic opinion ; and as the gracious Prince who
at present fills our Throne, and holds forth
a bright example to oft Monarchs, is never
more happy than when he is gratifying his
feelings by act's of benignity, there can
be little doubt that he will exercise those
feelings in the restoration of this gallant
Officer, as he has dune .with respect to Mr.
13Rouc1IAm, according to the intimation which
that Gentleman recently and so liberally stated
in the House of Commons. The silence also of
his Majesty's Ministers may be considered as a
negative proof that they have. no disposition Lo
check the current of Royal ..favour on this
oc-
casion. •

NVEymourrn, JUNE t6.--,-Yesterday a public
meeting of the inhabitants of this llorough and Town was

Chair, when an Atl„ress was unanimously voted to the. Duke of
YORK, expressing their gratitude to his Royal Highness, for

Members of the Town.
THF. AD.MY.—This morning the 2.(1 battalion
of the First Regiment Grenadiers, stationed at the Tower, pro-
ceeded at an early hour from their barracks to the Tenter
Ground, Goodman's Fields, where they were inspected by his
Royal Highness the Duke of Vona:, the Commander-in-Chief
and Colonel of the Regiment. This being the anniversary of

the memorable battle at. Waterloo, many of the gallant heroes
who fought on that day commemorated it by wearing laurel in
their caps. The battalion, after
military movements, were dismissed,
with his'Stafr left the ground, followed by a concourse of spec-
tators that were assembled on the occasion.

TILE CONVICT PitouEttl.--Th.is unfortunate
man was this morning visited by Dr. COTTON and Mr. Bairn,
and after a strong, though humane exhortation, he seemed
somewhat more inclined to listen to .theirpious exhortations.
To-day was intended for the last sad interview, but to-morrow
has been fixed on. We have, authority for stating, that the re-
port of Probert's inveighing against the Government isnot true.
He did go so far as to.say, that if it had' not been for the share
he had had in the llertfordshire bUsiness,. he did not think he
would have been executed, end it WAS for that, and sot his pre-
sent crime, he suffered.
