EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM HAVANNAH, DATED

JULY 29.

" Business here is very dull ; a large number
of vessels in port ; American produce generally
dull, and the Island produce very scarce and dear.
The crops of coffee and sugar are uncommonly
short. The trade to Africa here is great, though
not so extensive as it hes been. For these last
three months, upwards of 15 vessels have sailed,
and nearly as many have arrived. One ship, with
300 slaves on board, is now performing quaran-
tine, having the small-pox on board.
" Several Insurgent privateers are now eruizing
off this coast, and scarcely a ship arrives but what
has been plundered by them.
" A large Spanish frigate has arrived here from
Vera Cruz, with 2,000,000 dollars on board."

MANCHESTER, SEPT. 9.—The refractory Spin-
ners continue to parade the streets now in very
small parties, but are perfectly tranquil. It was to
have been hoped, that the example of those re-
turning to their work on :Monday would have
been an inducement for others to have tent!ered
their services, but it is imagined, that so long as
they can he supplied with money from the diffe-
rent Delegates, which we understand are very nu-
merous, travelling in various pa'rts of the coun-
try, they will continue to hold out ; as fur their
attempting to proceed to any act of violence, the
inhabitants are perfectly secure, as well as the
Weavers in not being obstructed in going to
and from their employment. Another induce-
ment for their holding out is, that there has
been a meeting at Bury with the Weavers,
the result of which was, that the Masters are

nt present acting on the same principle as the
Master Cotton Spinners, in not acceding to any
unjust demand fur an advance of wages.

We have read Mt'. littotlati tar's Letter to Sit'
SAMUEL ROMILLY with attention, and we cannot
but consider it as merely an attempt on dip part
of that Gentleman to revive his drooping popula-
rity. lie NI have no other realofrit.the pnIK
lication. That, there have been net;ej,ices an
abuses in the maWgement of Charitable Institu-
tions cannot be doubted, and that they ought to
he removed every body will admit. But what in-
terest can Ministers have in the continuance of
such abuses ) On the contrary, it must be their
interest to have the purposes of the respective
Founders fully accomplished, and such measures
adopted as may prevent the recurrence of those
abuses. This is the way to obtain a valuable
popularity, and no doubt Nlini::ters will endeavour
by such means to attain it. The visitors of such
Institutions, perhaps, have been induced to rely
too much on the activity and rectitude of those to
whom the management,
of the Institutions have

been intrusted, but the inquiry now set on loot
will render thee► more attentive. Ti►e Conin►is-

sioners are men of the first character, who can
have no object but truth, justice, and the esta-
blishment of a regular administration of the Funds
left by the Founders. lir. littouonata cannot
impeach their competency, and therefore his pub-
lication is needless, officious, and vexatious, and
sbews a rtstless disposition which induces him per-
petnally to intrude himself into public notice. He
may possibly imagine, that by this incessant pur-
suit of popularity, he may induce the people at
large to think that if be were in office he would be
for ever on the watch to explore and to remove
abuses. But he is generally considered as a man
anxious for power, and acting with a Party, and
they would rather see him on the side of Opposition,
where such characters ate useful in keeping
gli-
nissters on the alert, than sinking into submissive
silence or servile acquiesence as a Placeman. We
again assert, that his Pamphlet is wholly uncalled
for, because able, upright, and most respectable
Persons are appointed, who need no hints from
Mr. BROUGHAM what coarse to pursue, and to
whom, indeed, the suggestions of Party ought to

be viewed as the objects of distrust, arising from
vain or interested motives, or as the effusions of
disappointed spleen.
