At Gazepoore, in the province of Benares, 
in the Eait Indies, in the nineteenth year of 
his age, Charles Samler Eamer, efq. (the fe- 
cond fon of Sir John Eamer, bart.), a youth 
of extraordinary promife, and of moft amiable 
manners. He fell a martyr to the climate, 
after ftruggling with the jungle fever fixteen 
Jays. He left England on the 2oth March, 
1804, and arrived a ftranger at Calcutta, 
whither he went a cavalry cadet, at his own 
particular wifh. He was under immediate 
orders to join the army at Cewnpore, nine 
hundred miles up the Ganges, in which ex- 
pedition his boat was run down and funk, 
near the fhore of Baranpore. On his profe~ 
cuting his‘Voyage, by the affiftance of the 
Governor of a Danifh fettlement, be was feiz.

ed with a fever, which detained him three 
weeks. On his arrival at Caunpore he was 
made a cornet of horfe, and ordered to do 
duty with the 23d regiment of infantry. 
Having particular recommendation to the 
Commander in Chief, who was then belieging 
Dieg, he volunteered his fervices, which 
were accepted, and he proceeded near three 
hundred miles further; in which journey he 
was twice plundered by baaditti before he 
reached the Britith army. After this he 
went with it againft Bhustpore, and was en- 
camped with the grand army on the plains of 
Delhi. No further tidings of him reached 
his friends, till the melancholy account of 
his death at Gazeepore, near fix hundred 
miles from Delhi. 
MONTHLY COMMERCIAL REPORT. 
PL HERE are confiderable fhipments now making to various ports of the continent, but we 
underftand they are more in compliance with orders received from correfpondents abroad, 
than from any inclination towards fpeculative enterprife at home. Bonaparte has directed 
the haroour of Catwyck to be cloled, upon the fuppofition that all our contraband trade 
through Holland to France is carried on through that port: it is true that a very confiderable 
contraband trade has been conducted through that place, but to thofe who are acquainted 
with the manner of doing this, it will not be avery alarming meafure. As_a proof ‘hat all 
the regulations adopted have only tended to fhew the ignorance of the French government 
of commercial principles, we have only to ftate, that waen the blockade of the Elbe was 
removed and communication re{tored, inftead of finding the markets exhaufted, and the 
prices enhanced, they were found to be over-ftocked with a+ fupply equal to the demand ; 
and on the arrival of frefth cargoes, the prices declined, andthe markets were deprefled, 
The market has been very bare of pearl athes for a long time, and few arriving, the prices 
have rifen accordingly, Pot afhes have been rather limited in the demand of late months, 
though the ftock on hand is not large; but the fituation of the calico printer has been fo 
embarrafling that little has heen ufed. Our fupplies of fugar are very ample, and very 
little is now going off, as was expected; it cannot therefore be fuppofed that they are likely 
long to maintain their prefedt prices, unlefs the continent becomes more fettled. The 
fame obfervations will apply to coffee, and other Welt India produce, Ccttons have been 
rather brifker, in expeétation of the {pring demand: but this muft uitimately depend upon 
the continental intercourfe. The moderate fupplies brought by the laft Lifbon and Weft 
India fleets, prevented any decline. The ftock of Upland and. New Orleans cotton is mo- 
derate, but of Sea Ifland ample ; and nocwithiftanding moft kinds of cotton gradually ad- 
vanced during the fummer months, the {pinning trade remained very unprofitable. 
Bees’ wax {till remains at the enormous price.at which it is quoted: indeed, ac this feafon 
it is always very fcarce and high; but it has gradually advanced upon the higheft price of 
late years, and itnever was known (o high a it is now. 
Rum is fomething higher. ‘This is an article to which due attention has never been paid 
by the government: iaftead of giving fuch encouragement as they have the power to do 
without any apparent difficulty, by taking all contraéts for the navy in this article in{tead 
of brandy, it would have a very-great etteét in railing it to a price that would recompente. 
the planter ; whereas it isa well known fa, that the price it now fetches will not defray © 
the limple charges upon it, much leis afford the planter any profit on his commodity. We 
hope, indeed, that under the aufpices of tre prefent enlightened adminiftration fome mea- 
fures will be immediately adopted to render the fituation of the Weft India planters better 
thao it has been of late years.
