ship Marmion, Capt. Petrie. Liverpooi pa
per of the 22d, which we have perused at the
Coffee House, contains no additional particulars
in relation to the state Of the manufacturing
districts, bur draws most gloomy picture OIL
the laboring classes generally, and sees no pros
pect Of their sufferings being speedily allevia-
ted
A London ministerial paper can discover no
way of Immediately diminishing their suffering
but by increasing the stock OF food In the coun-
try. "Means OF employment must be found Tor
the poor, not in making roads, however bene-
fetal such labor may be, but in the immediate
objects of necessity--in augmentlng the means
of subsistence The sea. in the first place cannot
be said to be exhausted, as long as we know
that the Dutch carry the food Of thousands
from the coast Of Scotland, and the land cannot
be supposed incapable of yielding further sup.
plies while we have the example OF the rock OF
Malta supporting 100000 inhabitants by pro-
duce arising from the soil exported from Slcl-
ly.' !,
We conceive this to be the correct view oil
the subject. The commercial embarrassments
of Kentucky have been far greater than those
of England, yet the people of the former have
undergone no physical sufferings, simply be-
cause population did not there press on the
means OF subsistence. The only way OF mitiga-
ting the distress, is by encouraging the produc'
zion and importation Of food in every possible
shape---and so general is this opinion becoming,
that ministerial paper which has heretofore
advocated the opposite policy, says that, "as to
the repeal of the Corn Laws, as an ultimate
measure, there cannot possibly remain the
slightest doubt 1t is tact that in Some OF the
manufacturing districts the poor rates haze actu-
alty erceededthe rental; and the increase Gin gen
eral) is far more injurious to the landed interest
than the Corn laws can possibly be beneficial"
AS low contagious fever which had prevailed
in Dublin for two months, had lately had very
considerable increase. It's general prevalence
is attributed to the hllhness of the city.
1t is reported that Lord Cochrane has been
assured by the British Government, that it
would not concern itself with his proceedings,
if he did not enter an English port.
1t is affirmed that The Holy Alliance mean to
defer the PRONUNCIATION of the Portuguese Con-
stitution,- till the Governments have time TO
make representations TO the Emperor, Don Pc
dro.
The accounts from Constantinople are still
of doubtful character. The city presented a
scene of devastation, all the palaces of the gran
dees having been pjllaged. The Sultan was
encamped under the protection of the banner
Of the Prophet, surrounded by his partizans.
The firm conduct of the Sultan has induced ma
ny of his former opponents to make common
cause with him; but it is still admitted, even by
those most anxious for his success, that no GER
tain opinion can as yet be formed concerning
the ultimate result of the bold measures which
he has taken.
In the commencement of the struggle, none
of the foreign, but The English Ambassador,
could procure courier to convey the intelli-
gence Of the instruction 10 their respective Go.
vernments 1t is added that 5000 Jannissaries
have fallen Gy the hands of the bostandgis In
the mean time, it appears by the accounts from
Corfu that the insurrect'onary spiri. has ex-
tended itself 10 Albania, and even to the maLo-
metan inhabitants occupying the lofty chain of
Pindus, but this revolt could have no connection
with that Of Constantino2le. The Turks of
Castoria, II appears, were so~enraged at the in
ltelEgence, that they murdered The Archbishop
and great number of peaceable Christians,
demolished and burnt the churches, attacked
and destroyed San Maria, and, after being de-
ieated by the Christians, they turned their rage
against the town of AnaSelitzas, which they
burnt, we'll as several Turkish villages in
that country. Similar accounts are given from
OchriGa and Scodra
London, July co. City, Wednesday Evsning..-
The Settlement, as far as it has gone. on the
Account Of yesterday, has been without default,
and this being holiday, there has not been
much business done. Consols have varied from
III, during the day, to ~, and closed at IT
3-8; New per cent Script is a. ! premium,
and Exchequer Bills at Is; aud the only com
plant is OF the quality Of money in the Market.
South American Securities have still further
advanced in consequence of the intelligence re-
ceived from Colombia by the West India mail
received this day. Its positively asserted that
100000 dollars have been shipped towards the
payment OF the dividend, and that further sums
would follow. Considering the immense con-
sequence that attaches 10 these States that their
credit should be supported with this country,
there Can be no doubt but that every exertion
Will be made TO overcome the difficulty which
has existed to the payments in question. As
soon as Mr.. Hurtado's intelligence reached Bo-
gotta as TO the failure of Messrs. Goldschmidt
and of the failure in raising the Peruvian Loan
an extraordinary meeting Of the Congress wa,
called, for the purpose of considering the best
means OF relieving the Colombian Government
from the stigma that would attach bv breach
OF faith; the result Of which, il is presumed hoe
