Frankfort and German Papers have been re-
ceived this morning to a late date, but their
contents possess no political interest. The spi-
rit of free trade seems to extend its beneficial
influence to ►he various states of Germany, who
now begin to see that the more unrestricted trade
and commerce become, the more likely are they
to benefit all classes. In fact, nothing but a
perverse understanding can advocate an illiberal
system of commercial restriction : a narrow po-
licy bespeaks a narrow soul ; and the more en-
lightened a nation becomes the more is it dis-
posed to take to take an enlarged view of in-
terests, that to possess a lasting quality must
have an universal application :

MAYENCE, NOV. 24.
We learn that the Councillor of State Bourbound,
Commissioner of the Netherlands for the Naviga-
tion of the Rhine, will be Consul in this city. Our
city, situated at the conflux of the Maine, the
Middle and Upper Rhine, not far from the mouth
of the Necker, possessing a spacious free port and
large magazines in it, is extremely well adapted to
be a principal depot for the commerce of the Nether-
land, whence the countries on the Upper Rhine,
the south of Germany, Switzerland, &c. may be
speedily supplied with all the goods that they have
been used to receive from Holland ; and like-
wise, too, all the produce of those countries
may be most conveniently sent as return car-
goes for Holland. For the facility of commerce
in general, it is much to be wished that
such a depot were established in Mayence, which
in many respects is a natural staple place. Our
Government, which is well aware of what is really
advantageous to trade and manufactures, will un-
doubtedly favour an undertaking for the execution of
which Dutch agents have already come hither to
obtain the necessary information on the spot.

In the Address of thanks of our Esttes to the
Grand Duke not a word is said of the free naviga-
tion of the Rhine, or of the commercial treaty lately
concluded with Bavaria arri Wurtemburg, though
both were mentioned in the Speech from the
Throne.

We believe that we express the sentiments and
views of all enlightened men, when we reckon mea-
sures, designed to promote the freedom of com-
merce and manufactures in Germany, as calculated

:o have the most decisive and beneficial influence on

the welfare of the whole country. The Hessian
and Prussian Governments have the great merit of
having taken the lead, and opened the way to a
general convention between all the German states
for the regulation of their commercial interests, and
the establishment of a uniform system of duties, &c.
Those who are sensible of the importance of trade
and manufactures, which, in modern times, are the
chief foundation of the greatness and power of
states, cannot fail to see in this union, and the free
navigation of the Rhine, the commencement of a
new era, and the pledge of the future prosperity of
the German states.

The cold, which has so suddenly set in, will, it
it should continue and interrupt the navigation, be
very injurious to trade, because larger quantities of
Colonial produce are on the way from Holland
hither, and our stock is almost exhausted in conse-
quence of consignments to Baden and Bavaria.
Corn, as might be expected, has fallen consider-
ably, and as the accountA front Holland, France, and
England are not favourable, a further decline may
be expected.
FROM THE FRONTIERS OF THE BUCKOWINA, Nov. 18.

The plague, which has proved so disastrous in
the Principalities, has extended also to Podolia.
The sanitary cordon on our side is strengthened, and
the time of quarantine for travellers is fixed at four-
teen days. We may hope that the setting in of the
cold weather will prove favourable to health, and
that the vigorous measures of the Russian, as well
as the Austrian Government, will prevent the pro-
pagation of the disorder. Some peasants are said
to have been victims to the plague near Kaminiecz ;
unhappily a murrain also prevails in that country,
and whole villages are reduced to poverty by the
loss of all their cattle. The accounts from the in-
terior of Russia, respecting the state of the public
health, are favourable. _

FRANKFORT, Nov. 30.—Exchange on London, two
months, 151 k.

Quebec Papers to the Bth of November, and
Montreal to the 10th of November, have been
received at the North and South American Cof-
fee-house : both thel above Papers contain an
account of a severe storm which was experienced
at Quebec on the Saturday preceding, which had
done great damage to the small craft, and three
or four schooners.

Accounts from New Orleans, of the 22d of
October, received at New York, state that Gen.
BARRADAS was still in that city. It was re-
ported that in the late gale at Tampico, the
United States sloop of war Hornet was dis-
masted : the Hound and Eclipse, of New
Orleans, were lost.

Bombay Papers to the 2d of August have
been received at the North and South American
Coffee-house ; their contents are unimportant.

Letters from the Havannah, of the 26th of
October; have been received at the North and
South American Care.a-bouse:—They state
that the whole of the Spanish fleet had arrived
there. The Chilian, BUTLER, and the Cor-
nelia, CONSTANT, from Tampico, arrived at
the Havannah on the 24th of October, with 19
Spanish officers and 448 soldiers.

Letters from Madrid of the 26th Nov. state,
that the news of the evacuation of Mexico by
the Spanish troops had been received by the
Government by an extraordinary Courier, which
has caused great consternation to the Spanish
Ministry, who did not expect such an unfavour-
able termination to their hopes.

We are sorry to hear of the failure of a con-
siderable, though not an old-established, silk house in Lon-
don. Most of the manufacturing houses in that branch
of trade here are said to be creditors."—Mcmehester Guard.
