COMMERCIAL REPORT,

FROM THE 26TH NOVEMBER, TO THE IST DECEMBER.

Most descriptions of produce are held with augmented firin-
ness at rather enhanced prices ; this is particularly the case
with plantation Sugar, the supply of the better qualities being
insufficient to meet the demand. Refined Goods are in good
request at somewhat better prices. This is also the case with
Coffee. Cottons are stationary. In Tallows a good deal of
business has been transacted ; and Yellow Candle cannot be
bought under 41s.

TAE KING OF FRANCE.—VariOUS have been
the rumours of the state of Paris within these 24
hours : in one of the Sunday Papers we read of
a report of the King of France's death, and that
the funds have fallen 5 per cent. in consequence.
it was currently reported in the course of yester-
day that the King of France had dissolved the
`Chamber of Deputies. And we heard last night,
from "a source which we have generally found
correct, that a courier arrived yesterday after-
noon to the Spanish Ambassador, confirming the
account of the decease of Louis XVIII.

Mal-quis WARSIey, we are assured, is ;fume-
(3iately to Supeitede Earl Talbot in the Lord
.Lieutenancy of Ireland. It is said that 'Mr.
'Goulbuen is to be the liew Secretary) in the
place of Mr: Grant. We 'trust the latter appoint--
rneht will not take place, as in such 'case the•
Orange party will gain in the efficient part of
the Government, and the country at large only
in the ostensible. 'lt is also said that the Right
Hon. Robert Peel is to succeed Lord Sidmouth,
I‘,'Secretitry of State' for the Houle Department.—
(Ibid.)

MORNING Pamj
Accordingto the accounts in the-French papers
from Turkey, the cause of the Greeks continued
to be eminently successful in every quarter.
They 'had 'killed two Pachas, and severely
wounded a third. After a dreadful conflict of
nine days in ThelSaly, they obtained .a decisive
victory. it is mentioned as certain, that Ali
Pacha had been relieved from his blockade, and
vas carrying on a' furious warfare agaitAt the
troops of the Porte. The orders sent to different
Pachis to forward reinforcements to Chorschid
Pacha hail been totally disregarded, each finding
that he had scarcely sufficient- toyops,te.prevelit
insurrection within the limits of his''`Own govern-
ment. A body Of twenty' housand Asiaticsion their
march for 'Epirus, had been detained by the
IPactia of Saloni-chi, in order to attack the Greeks
"in the peninsula of Cassandra. The Marquis of
dintaldi and M. Tomasso Felici have renounced'
"their claims under the will of the late Queen or
England. The Act ,of the Governor and Senate,
of the lonian -Islands,,placing the whole -Isle of
Zante under martial law, shews the dangerous
situation to which our supremacy in those .parts.
is reduced., by-that impolitic.s.everity which will
cnotsiiiThr Greeks even to breathe forth a prayer for,
the success of their countrymen in arms, and the
-triumph of the Christian faith !

[MORNING HERALD.]
We learn, from an authority in which we have
the utmost confidence, that Lord Sidmouth will
certainly retire altogether from office before the
!Meeting of Parliament. It is said that the Right
Bon. Robert Peel is to succeed his Lordship as
SecretLry •of State for the Home Department.—
Other reports name Mr. Clive as his 'Lordship's
successor. Much uncertainty exists with respect
to Mr. Canning. The Ministry are particularly
anxious to attach him to themselves for the sake
of his Parliamentary talents; but it is said his
Majesty objects to the employment of the Right
Honourable Gentleman in any other way than as
Governor-General of India. This latter office
has been offered to Lord Melville, who ?could
have accepted it, but that his-Lady positively re-
fused to accompany him. Among other changes,
it is said to be finally arranged that the Duke of
Montrose succeeds the Marquis of Hertford in
the Lord Chamberlainship.

[KEw TIMES.]
The Paris Journals of Monday, Tnesday, and
Wednesday, arrived yesterday. The Budget for
18'22 was laid' before the Chamber of Deputies
on Tuesday, by the Minister of Finance, who
dilated with great emphasis on-the very superior
'situation of the French finances to that of any
other country in Europe. Upon 'this head, we
must take the liberty to differ from his'Excel-
lenCy. W.e venture to assure him that there is
-another country whose financial system is very
far superior, and whose resourcee are substan-:
tially and effectively very much greater. The only
.point in which the French finances have been im-
, proved since the - peace, paradoxical as it may
-eein,• is in the large Debt which it has incurred.
This has afforded almost the only means that exist
in • France of •accumulating large capitals ; and
Withont capital a civilized country must retrograde
• rapidly towards barbarism. The
,French Minis-
ter- talks of, France having remitted- taxes to the
amount of.34.inillions of francs, not quite -12 mil-
- lion itcrling. -Is he 'aware that our Property
Tax produced 14 millions-sterling, the whole of
which was remitted *at once ? The real wealth
-of a-country consists in its surplus capital ; and
the surplus capital is probably— ten- times as
as - that -of *France. The sudden return
to a met:tllic currency has of coarse impoverished
our agriculturists, but-even the agricultural capi-
tal-of England is 'far beyond that Of France :
much more do we exceed that nation in every
other sort Of wealth. The overflow of funded
property in both countries serve to assist
agriculture, manufactures, and commerce, where-
ever it is wanted : and it' is In this view. that we
say France profits by her debt ; England, how-
ever,
,has 'not only a innch' 'larger funded capital
to employ in this way, but she possesses far
• greiter means of turning -that capital to account.
