MONTHLY COM (MERCIAL REPORT; 
HE embarraffments of the merchants at Hamnuren have increafed to an alarming de- 
gree, and during the whole month of O€tober, every mail that has arrived, has added 
fevera] names té the unfortunate lift of houfes which have ftopped payment in that city, 
where there are fcarcely any perfonsin the mercantile line, whatever may be their wealth 
and conneétions, who have not experienced confiderable difficulties, while the effe&s thereof 
have extended to Bremen, Frankfort, Amfterdam, and many other of the principal trading 
towns on the Continent. The general and extenfive conneétion which has of late fubfitted 
between the greater part of our merchants and thofe of Hamburgh, naturally excited appre- 
henfions of the mof ferious confequences inthis country, which have in part been too juftly 
verified, by the failure of feveral commercial houfes in addition to thofe alluded to in ow 
aft report. It is to be remarked, however, that the number of a€tual bankruptcies has nog 
been much greater than ufual, w heh fhews, that in general fuch of our merchants as have 
had the misfortune to be involv ed with the infolvent houfes abroad, poffefs the good opinion 
of their creditors, and that it is evident their difficulties arife from this ensore ees thock, 
to which mercantile tranfaGtions are always liable when carried to an unufual extent, an 
particularl; in time of war. It is to’be hoped the ailiftance which the Bank are underftood 
to have agreed to give, will be fufficient to enable fuch houfes as are really folvent and 
refpeétable, to overcome thefe temporary embarraflments ; and it mutt contribute to. increafe 
the favourable opinion’ entertained abroad of the wealth and refources of this country, ‘to 
Jearn that a very confiderable fum in f{pecie and bullion is about to be fent over to Hamburgh, 
as a means of alleviating the ftagnation of credit. ‘The lof$ of the Lutine frigate which had 
en board part of this money, confifting of 600,000 dollars, has been a very unfortunate cir- 
ftance both in itfelf and with refpeét to the object in view, as it mutt occafion a great dif- 
appointment, and delay the intended relief confiderably ; we cannot help doubting, how- 
ever, whether this meafure of fending over fpecie, and thereby influencing the courte of ex- 
change, would alone be adequate to the purpofe for which it is intended, the mifchiefap- 
pears to havearifen chiefly from the want of a fufficient demand for the immenfe quantitics 
of goods which had lately been fent to Hamburgh ; and it is not improbable that théretreat 
of the invading army from Holland, however, unfortunate in other refpeéts, may have a far 
vourable effeét in reftoring confidence and fecurity in tbat country, and thus, permitting the 
trade of a confiderable part of Europe to return to the channel into which it has been diiven 
by the war. 
We have lately given fome account of the prefent ftate of the linen manufacture of 
IRELAND; the next important obje@& of commercial fpeculation in that country, is the 
Provifion Trade. ‘The great demand caufed by the fupplies requifite for government fervice, 
has greatly raifed in price every article of peggy that is generally a fubje& of export 5 
and the enormities committed By the difafiected in the Weft of Ireland laft fpring, in hough. 
‘ing and killing vaft numbers of young cattle in fome of the principal grazing counties, will 
probably tend to much enhance the value of thofe which fhall come to market next feafon. 
At prefent, from a combination of circumftances, every kind of flaughtering cattle is nearly 
@5 dear in Ireland as in any part ef Great Britain. The Woollen manuta&ture, which it hag 
been fo long a favourite object of the Irith patriots to cherith, is, not wit hRanding their zeak 
and wiihes, ina very declining itate. This may be eatily proved by the immenfe quantities 
of fine cloth which are exported from Great Baits to ireland, nearly the whole con- 
furnption of the latter country being fupplied by the former. ee many years this manu- 
facture was under the peculiar proteétion of the Dublin Society, who, however, did not 
adopt any very comprehengve or efficient. meafures for cherifhing or extending it; they efta- 
blithed indeed, in tne metropolis, a warehoufé forthe retail fale of Irith cloghs in which 
the public were fure to find the beft cloths, with the prices affixed; this was buta feeble 
aid to a nationa} manufacture, and even this advantage it has now loft, for the focicty have 
recently withdrawn their patronage and fuperintendance from the inftitution, from a con- 
wiction of its inefficacy, after a trial of feyeral years. It is faid, indeed, that the fociety 
Were obliged to give it up, from the very low ftate to which the cloth manufafture had 
allen in Dubtin; the manufacturers being unable to produce a tufficigat quantity of goods
