Philadelphia Papers arrived this morning to

the 21st October.

BUENOS AynEs.—By the brig Clio we have
received a file of Buenos Ayres Papers to the
13th August. The Congress of Buenos Ayres
has authorised the Executive to ratify the Con-
vention concluded with the Spanish Commis-
sioners on the 4th July last„ and has also adopt-
ed the Project to support Spain in its struggle
against the French invasion with the sum of 20
millions of dollars, to be furnished by the Inde-
pendent States of South America, as soon as the
said Convention shall be ratified. The finances
appear to be in a prosperous state. The inte-
rior of the country is yet disturbed by armed
hands.

Monte Video is still held by the Royal troops
and blockaded by the Imperialists.
FROM CURACOA.— By the arrival of the
schooner Tartar, from Curacjoa, we have received
a file of Papers to the 27th September. They
contain accounts from Caraccas and Laguira to
the 6th. The news from Peru is favourable ; the
troops from Colombia and the 3,000 men from
Chili, have changed the fate of that country.—
The President Bolivar was expected at Santa Fe.

COAST DUTY ON COALS.—Petitions are pre-
paring hi the Maritime Districts, to be presented
next Sessions, for the repeal of this injurious and
unequal tax. The abandonment of it by the
CuAncar.Lou of the EXCHEQUER will give uni-
versal satisfaction, and its effect will be exten-
sively beneficial, by increasing the employment
of various classes of the people, and promoting
generally agriculture and manufactures. The
repeal of this tax should be accompanied with
the repeal of another—the tolls now pay-
able on the CARRIAGE of LIME.--lii many
districts lime is exempt from toll, when
used for the purposes of Agriculture ; but to be
beneficial to the people and to the Government,
Lime and Bricks used for BUILDING, and for all
other purposes, should be exempt from all toll
whatever. The exemption will increase the con-
sumption of foreign timber, and of various other
articles of foreign and domestic manufacture,
and eittend the circle of national industry. Every
thing which tends to increase the employment
of the people, and to elevate the aggregate
value of the productive industry of the country,
is directly beneficial to the revenue, by enlarging,
the consumption both of exciseable articles, and of
foreign commodities subject to the payment of
in,-
port duties. In as far as ,the consumption of the
latter class of commodities is increased, there is also
a proportional benefit to the shipping interest and
to the foreign commerce of the Empire. Even
the reduction of taxes and duties, therefore, as
has often etiough been irrefragably proved, may
he so conducted as to improve the Income of
the state, as well as to benefit the private cir-
cnmstances of individuals. As a general prin-
ciple, we do nut dispute that indireot burthens
are preferable to direct taxation, and that the re-
peal of the assessed taxes ought therefore to pre-
cede that of the duties upon some articles of con-
sumption. But it is nevertheless obvious that
the most injurious taxes and duties are those
wfiich are imposed upon the materials.of labour,
—upon those articles which are in progress, not
towards theirfinal consumption, but towards being
subjected to farther operations cf industry.

We are glad to see from a French Paper that
the English in Paris have begun a subscription in
behalf of the venerable Greek, who was lately
attempted to lie massacred there. We hope our
countrymen on this side of the water will also go
hand in hand, ith them on this melancholy affair.
We insert an Advertisement soliciting subscrip-
tions, which we heartily recommend to the no-
tice Of the benevolent.
