Independently of the fluctuations to which over-
speculation and monopoly have occasioned, as has
been the case with Cotton, Oil, &c. we think we
perceive the giadual, though tardy operation, of the
restoration of -a general pacification- in the fall of
price 'of almost all commodities which the profits and
risks attendant. upon a state of warfare had caused
to rise far, very far, above their intrinsic value, but
at length it is beginning to be discovered that many
transmarine productions can be procarod upon much
more reasonable terms than even the present lowered
prices of such commodities would induce us to sus-
pect. It remains still to be ascertained at what price
the planter in America can afford to sell his Cotton
perhaps it may be found that from 12 to 14 cents.
will .amply repay his advance of capital and labour
for cultivating it—and probably the free traders to
the East Indies will soon discover that Cotton, in
those regions, may be had almost for the trouble of
collecting it. Coffee, it may shortly appear, may be
purchased at Batavia for about fcur-pence per pound,
and so on 'with many other commodities, so that we
apprehend the present to be 'a most critical and still
interesting period in the history of commerce, and
merchants as well as statesmen are imperiously
called upon deeply to reflect uponits present awful
'tate, •and to regulate their operations accordingly.
Among the long list of etportations to the Conti-
nent, we are particularly struck with the extensive,
and still increasing, shipment of Colion. Wool—that
it fs•not in our power to check the improvement of
foreign manufactories, or to monopolize the Cotton,
Trade altogether, admits of no question, but we
certainly are not called upon to encourage our rivals,
as we are now doing, by furnishing them with the
raw material upon lower terms than our own artisans
can procure it. The duty upon Cotton, for home-
consumption, is one penny per pound, which, at the
present low rates of that article, is, upon Bengals,`
about 20 per cent. and upon American and Brazils
Cotton, about 8 to 10 per cent. there being no duty
upon exportation, we supply manufacturers abroad
at so much lower rates than our own countrynien.—
We are no advocates for any additional imposition
of duties, particularly in commerce, yet as we do not
think it would be very convenient to repeal the ex-
isting duty on Cotton, we are of opinion that, under
present circumstances, foreigners purchasing it fro'm
us should, in justice to ourselves, be subject to the
like charge.
ROYAL EXCHANGE.
_ _

The business in Foreign Exchanges, confined, as
it must be, within a narrow compass, was limited in
proportion to the small number of.real unexcep-
tionable Bills ; for the profits attending these opera-
tions being trifling, will not adthit of any risk, and,
in consequence, we have to report a partial decline
in the Course of Exchange on Monday, which was
as follows:—Amsterdam, 11.4 k. a 5. ditto at sight,
11. I.a 11.—Rotterdam, 11. 6i.—Antwerp, 11. 7i.
B.—Hamburgh, 33. 11. a 111.—Paris, 24. a 24.5.

easily negotiable, and in demand.

MINCING-LANE.
Having lately reported the transactions of this
place on Saturday, we have only this day to give an
account of Tuesday's market, and we ate happy to
say that something like a revival of trade was expe-
rieneed in some few articles. There was on Monday
more inquiry for Coffee, but that not being Much a
day of business in that article, little was transacted.
No public sales were announced for Tuesday, yet
several sales by private contract were effected, at an
advance of price. East India and St Domingo
Coffee were most inquired for. Sales of Cheribon
were made at 104 s. to 105 s. St. Domingo may now
be quoted at 975. to 104 s. and Brazil 98s. to 1025.-
It was stated that advices had reached town of an
improvement in the price of Coffee at Rotterdam-
be Mier tree or not, we conceive this, perhaps, the
safest article for the investment of floating capital,
and being low will, we expect, excite some attention.
Sugar continues flat ; the business in Muscovades
yesterday was limited ; the purchases are confined
to strong Sugars, which are scarce; upon the whole
we consider die raw market a shade better.
Refined Sugars are stationary : some demand
was, however, experienced for Lumps, and we un-
derstand one house made a considerable purchase for
exportation to Hamkirgh-218 casks Demarara Mo-
lasses were brought forward yesterday, the quality
being -very inferior, they all sold at 235. to 2.55. The
yellow descriptions of liavannah have been inquired
after. Foreign Sugirs, upon the whole, are heavy,
and no buyers in the market.
From the late low prices of raw Sugar it is expec‘
ted that the Import Dirty, which is taken on a quar-
terly aggregate average price, will be reduced upon
British-Plantation Muscovadoes to 275. a 28s. instead
of 30s. Tier cwt. which is the present duty.

ST. DOMINGO.

FROM A COMMERCIAL RESIDENT AT JACS4RI9 =lift

DOM Of HAYTt, MARCH
On the 31st of October, we came-to anchor in the
harbour of St. Thomas's, a Danish island, in which
is a very pretty town. The island itself is of little
importance ; but being a free port, and situated so
conveniently for supplying the Spanish Main, it com-
mands a considerable trade—greater at this time
than at any former period : the dispute between Spain
and her Colonies has already, made the fortunes of
many persons there. .
From St. Thomas's we ran doled Eel* in four days.
Judge of my feelings on landing., in this wretched
hole, destined to be my place of abode for a consi-
derable time. The town.of Jacmel is composed of
a number of dirty sheds, snppogtect on rough poles :
it is a mass of dirty Negro huts.
.It.wAs some time
before I recovered my astonishment. I could scarcely
suppose myself .in the Island of St, Domingo, all
geographical accounts of which are painted in the
most lively colours:.indeed. in .the time of the French
it must have been quite a different place to what it
appears at present. The ruins of many fine build-
ings still remain, bearing evident marks of the ge-
neral destruction and devastation occasioned by the
Icing and sanguinary warfare carried on here. It has
been my fate, on my first foreign trip, to come to a,
place acknowledged by every one to be the very
worst in the whole West Indies. However, there is
this advantage in it—after living here, a person may
venture to reside almost any wiere, without expe-
riencing a change for the worse. I am speaking
now only of the town of Jacmel, my present residence.
You are, no doubt, aware that this fine island is
divided into three separate parts, as distinct as if they
were three separate countries. For this, the S.W.
side, governed by Boyer (elected on the decease of
Petion), the principal ports are Port-au-Prince, the
seat of Government—Aux Cayes, a great harbour
for the Independent cruizers, alias pirates; and this
hole, Jacmel, the harbour of which is very
bad, and open to the ocean; but we have in conse-
quence always a fine sea breeze, which renders the
place very healthy. Second, the N.W. (Christophes)
the principal seat of commerce in which is Cape
Henry (formerly Francois) but there is no sort of
communication between the respective divisions.—
Third, the Spanish part of the island is by far the
largest, but the least cultivated, consisting chiefly of
wood-land; but they export, in consequence, large
quantities of mahogany and cattle.
This island, in the hands of an industrious enter-
prising people, would be capable of producing more
than all the British West-India possessions together.
The soil is rich, and fruitful beyond comparison.
You must have a very contemptible idea of a West-
India Island that produces no rum—l speak of this
part only—and because it is capable of producing it,
the importation is prohibited. The language gene-
rally spoken here is a mixture of very bad French
and Spanish blended together, and difficult to be
comprehended by a stranger. There are only three
Englishmen here besides myself, and these have adop-
ted the Creole customs from a long residence, Every
person found out of doors after nine o'clock in the
evening is taken up without ceremony, and coat ned
till next morning.—[The writer details the customs
of the country, which are no way interesting.l—The'
Government of' the country is called republican 4 but
it is, in fact, tyrannical in the extreme. You will say
I have drawn a gloomy picture of this once-beautiful
and still fertile country; but it is a correct one,
For the last few years, the quantity of produce,
grown here has decreased surprisingly; and no other
remittance can be made, as Spanish dollars have long
since disappeared, and given place to a currency of,
their own fabrication, a sort of tin money, which'
bears a discount of fifty per cent.
The only articles of export are coffee, cotton, and
logwood, articles for which there is always a con-
sumption in Europe ; but the laziness of the people is
such that comparatively sinall quantities are brought
to market. The demand, however, is rather slack at
the present time; therefore the 'stity offered

on his arrival in this conutry, and being possessed

As soon, hoWever, as Mr. Twit, (one of the app.

bringing the information, that hope was at an end,',‘
the Sheriff proceeded to the jail : when the miseribld
culprits, with a steady pace ascended the platform,
accompanied by the Rev. Mr. JOYCE, who hadsbeen
unceasing lip Iris exertions, since their condemnation,
to prepare them for therawful event. They appeared
quite penitent and resigned to their fate. Ryan said
but few words ; he offered up his last prayers for Mr.
Twit—and spoke gratecally of the exertions used by
that gentleman to save his life. Murphy and Walsh
freely forgave their prosecutors, and recommended
their children (thirteen in number) to the protecting
