COMMERCE OF THE. LEvANr.

In our preceding number, we gave an Ultimate of
the export and import trade of Greece, with the o.
Their nations OF Europe and taed the various art-
Giles of Greek produce and uduAry which compelled
the materials of that commerce. The reader will CON-
Family keep in mind, that the whole fcope of this in
vegation is directed to afcertan and to defcribe the
magnitude OF the commerce of the Mediterranean,
with view to illuttrase the policy which has grown
out OF the revolutions of the lal thirteen years to

made it open commerce and tho the Greeks took
advantage OF this to engrofs great proportion to
themfelves of the German trade, Germany was ne.
