favour of Mr. Whitbread’s proposition, and 
against Mr. Pitt’s amendment, in the af¬ 
fair of Lord Melville. During tHe debate 
cn the claims of the Duke of Athol to an 
additional corr pensation for the Isle of Man, 
Sir William evinced a perfect knowlcage 
of this subject; and it was owing to his 
efforts and those of some other gentle.men, 
that Mr. Pitt is supposed to have altered 
his original intentions of burdening the 
insular revenues with the liquidation of the 
Bums recently granted. Sir William Young

MONTHLY COMMERCIAL UkPORT. 
T>RITISH Trade and MANur.\CTUREs.— The late orders from South America have 
^ had a good effect in reviving the manufactures of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Man¬ 
chester, and the return of the feet just arrived from Jamaica will add to the export of their 
articles, as considerable orders are now executing for the West Indies. All kind of muslin 
and cotton goods are very low and very fiat in the London market at present, ana not likely to 
jnend. Ihe produce of Russia has likewise experienced a considerable fall, such as tallow, 
hemp, flax, iron, &c. &c. 
Of the six millions of exchequer bills voted by parliament to be applied to the relief of 
trade, only about one million and a half has been disposed of by the commissioners. ‘ This 
small issue is to be attributed to the loss with which a loan in this form is attended, and to 
the extreme difficulty in the present times of procuring securities satisfactory to the gentle¬ 
men intrusted with the application of the grant. 
West Indies. —A large fleet is just arrived from Jamaica in.the river, a part of which is 
also arrived at Bristol and Liverpool, but the produce comes to a very bad marker, ic being 
already over stocked, particularly with sugar, coffee, and cotton wool, with respect to rum 
it is in demand, and prices advancing. When this fleet left Jamaica, provisions, as beef, 
pork, and butter, were in great demand, nor can the islands be supplied until the months of 
October or November arrives, as then the slaughtering season commences in Ireland. 
North America —We hope the explanation of Captain Bingham will clear up the un¬ 
fortunate mistake relative to the Little Beit, and that French politicians will feel themselvea 
disappointed in creating a rupture between the two countries, of this the mercantile world 
seem satisfied, as no advance whatever has taken place in the price of American proauce. 
South .America.— —By the latest accounts from Rio, we are informed that the demand 
for British mannfactured goods increases every day, and that the British speculator knows now 
the sort of goods suitable for this country, which at first they were totally ignorant of. Large 
remittances have lately been received thence, in dollars, cochineal, cotton, hides, &c. and 
the shipments now making at London and Liverpool for this country, are very considerable. 
East Indies —Large shipments are now making by the company for this quarter of the 
globe, but bullion, which formerly used to be exported thither, forms the most trifling part of 
the present export.
