TO THE EDITOR OF THE STATESMAN.

Si,,--As soon as i became acquainted with the
deeply-concerted system of finesse pursued by The
weer" Traveller, in substituting himself for a BPI RITIE D
STATESMAN, (mark the contrast!) I hastened, from
with you in check•

foll7iretriulgated through
spectable Paper. 1 furnished you with a clue, by epis-
tolary intimation, to ascertain the correctness of what
advanced; and, I trust, Sir, you have a►ailed your-
self of making such enquiries as could not fail to elicit
the t►uth' I shall be really to address you again,
11r. Editor, upon this subject, if occasion should
require; as toy researches have not, I am happy to
147, been altogether fruitless, but, in many in-
stances, attended with complete success. As there
bas been a hold, fair, and open statement against
the Lieut.-Colonel and Co., submitted to an enlight-
ened public, which still remains vs:refuted and unan-
swered, it is evident that the authors of such sordid
stratagems as caniplained of, are completely at a loss
for the materials of a tangible exculpation, and that
their silence is a virtual acknowledgment of their con-
viction. I shall conclude, Sir, by intreating the public
to take into their considera'icn a fair, unbiassed view
of the case, to weigh the subject deliberately in their
Mods, and, calling in conscience as arbiter, to form
:their own conclusions.—l am, Sir, your's, &c. R. M.

The Papal government has been induced, by the re-
presentations made to it, to restore to Ancona and
Civita Vecchia the privileges of free ports for the
foreign silk and woollen manufactures, which were
lately withdrawn with a view to favour the national
manufactures. The Government has perceived that
such restrictions do not promote industry, but injure
commerce. The towns of Ancona and Civita Vecchia
bare testified the greatest joy and gratitude for the re-
storation of their privileges.
The Trinidad Courant of the 14th of August says—
" We hoar, with a warm feeling of gratitude, that Sir
Ralph Woodford is exerting himself to proenre for this
colony, a General Free Port Act ; and that the many im-
portant modifications which his Excellency has sub-
.milted to Lord Bathurst were to be taken into eonsi-
dewiest after the adjournment of Parliament."—Tri ni-

valltshy 60), together with its local situation, and other
peril/at advantage, must ere lon becours a very opts-
tem reantry.—(New York papar./
