TRADE WITH big IiEDITERIiNEAN.

In consequenie.of the alarming and increasing de-
predations committed by Greek pirates in the Mediter-
ranean and Levant, a meeting of merchants,
wners, and "tilers connected wITIr the trade to Turkey;
gYPt •
t wis held at John's Coffee house. Cornhill,
on the 6th instant, when it *as determined to appoint
a committee to draw up i memorial to be presented to
his Majesty's Governineht, respecting the grievances,
and the necessi'y fur some immediate measures being
taken to suppress the pirates and afford more efficient
protection ; the 'committee was also author;zed to act in
'furtherance 'of tbe views of the meeting in such a way
as in their di.cretion they should judge to be for the best.
be committee accordingly prepared a representation
'to Lord Viscount Goderich, with a list of the piracies
committed upon British ships. The interview was
promptly granted, and a deputation from the committee,
-consisting of Mr. J. T. Daubus, Mr. N. Kerr, Mr.
'Smut! Briggs, and Mr. John Bluo, accordingly waited
Upon Lord Goderich, with whom were Mr. Grant sad'
Mr. Hu•losson. •
The whole suhj et was fully discussed, and it was
stated by Lord Goderich, that the evil of which the
trade comp.ained had not been overlooked by bis Ma-
jecy's Government, but that some measures had already
been taken to put down the pirates ; and that the mag-
nitude of the depredations, as well as the difficulties
which King's ships found in rooting out the freebooters
would tequire more prompt measures for bringing them
to justice when taken, and more active means to be
used by the Guek Government to remove all further
Cause for complaint. Lord Goderich assured the de
putation that the partisular attention of Government
would be . ccupied in adopting some immediate reme.
dies for the grievances to which the trade was subjected.

The following is a list of the piracies committed upon
English ships, so far as yet ascertained ; and there is
ressen to apprehend that the number actually plunder.
