In the Britft House of Commons, on the 7th May, Mr Wallace moved that the report of the Commit, tee on the Navigation Bill, (for opening the W. •India Ports, ife ) be postponed*) the 30th May; of the fate of the motion we ire not informed. If the British government had indeed sincerely intended to repeal their West India trade laws, as Jus born so confidently advanced, it would bavt been long since done. The delay which Baa occurred may have arisen from a desire to feel the public pulse, as to the propriety or policy of repealing the restriction, or from any vrher reason j hut from the tone of the organ Of popular feeling, the newspaper*, and the at rung remonatraneea against it from the nu. teertms classes of the community most deeply interfiled, Ve consider the repeal as yet pro* blt maftca).

The transition of these Kingdoms from the yoke nf despotism, to independence, some people think, has been achieved at too little expense of blond ; and therefore they would infer the necesaity of civil wins to consummate the important nrqui airinQ. I do nut esteem such poliiicims tlie truest philanthropists, nor th* warm est friends of humanity ; and my declara tions are very opposite to theirs, because the passions and prejudices, the heat and ardor, which accompany the onset uf civil contests, form the the season uf that in temperate conduct, which seldom recurs .iftei the revolutionary storm has blown over, and irasi.n has rescued the helm of state fiom the hand of violence. This country cannot, with its diversi fied population, he exempt from subject* of collision ; but I do believe, and I trust in the Henign Ruler nf human affairs for the result, that there exists too much na tural subordination, too much good tem per, too much good sense,too much virtue, and too much patriotism among this peo ple, to permit the occurrence of civil con tests or counter revolutions in such et* tent as to affect the stability ol the nation al councils, or the general happiness and prosperity of the Mexican Empire. JAMES WILKINSON. SOUTH AMERICA. The importance of effecting commerci al arrangements between our country and the people of South America, becomes more apparent every day, and yet ive have seldom seen more apparent apathy dis played hv those whose duty it is to watch over and protect the interests of the pub lic, than has been manifested since the re cognition of those provinces as indepen dent nations. In France the interest which the people take in conciliating the affections of the people of South America, may, be imagined from the following bets : On Monday, the SQthuf April,the moat respectable merchants of Paiis, to the numbpr of 125. met M. 2es, the Pbnipo. tentiary of Colombia, at a grand dinner to which they had invited hitn in the Jardin Beajon.

Balt- Fed* Qaz. MARKETS. Philadelphia, June 25—A mercantile friond of great intelligence and close ob servation, has lately made some sugges tions to us, which we think it well to re peat for the consideratios of all those whom they concern. They are cs fol lows Ever since the arrival or the Hercules last autumn, attempts have been made, through the medium of the newspa pere, to mislead public opinion on the subject of the price ol flour in foreign mar. kets. Prices, sometimes wholly unfound ed, and, whenever the opportunity has oecured. e.rap:^crated, have been annoan ceil, accompanied with delusive represen tations of future prospects. The conse quence has been great loss to individuals; and the public mind has been kept in a state of excitement towarda speculation, which is likely to prove injurious to com merer in general, and especially to (he trade of Philadelphia, from which it is believed that false excitement has the ef fect to banish most of tlie coasting trade in provisions. An srticle appeared in oor Commerci- al Record of last evening, taken from the N- York American, in which it is stated ti at Flour, at Lima* was, on the 14th ol February, ** 20 to 25 dollars on board, fine of July, and on the rite.** The fact is, that the owut-rs of the cargool the ship Americo,from New York, have advices from Valparaiso of the Mitt February, which quote fl >ur st Callao at 17 dollars, but that the supercargo declined selling st that price. This is widely differeu from SO to 25, and rising. It requires but a slight knowledge of commerce, and of the actual wants ol both coasts of 5»0uth America, to foresee the injurious consequences of the delusions practised qn the unwary, by the reprenen- tations given of prices not only in Brafcil, but in Ls Plata, and also in Peru. The high prices quoted have been for the most part apeculatii%—the writers may have erred I rum want oT reflection and suffi cient care. But, both in New York and this city, accounts of prices have appear ed, wherein there was a design to mislead- The press has been thus made the instru ment of wily speculators.' JNhf.

From our regulai files received by the Robert Fulton, and the sccosnts brought by the Texel and Laurel, arrived at Salem, we have gleaned the following additional item* of ioteifmence *V. r..ftn ORK AT BWTMN- The Chancellor of the Eichequer has anrounoed that, in consequence of the lateness of the season, and the multiulici ty of public *businisa, tilt contemplated additional duty on cottoh will be post poned until the next session uf Parlia went.

On the 11th of May s large meeting of the freeholders was held in tlie county of Norfolk, in consequence of s requisition signed bv the Duke nf Norfolk, K*r| of Ahematle, Lord Sutfield, and many o there, for the purpose " of taking into con sideration the propriety of presenting u petition to Parliament lor s reform in the representation of the people.” Tlie meet ing consisted of between three and four thousand person*. They were addressed by their members in Parliament, (Messrs. Coke and Wndeliouse,) aipl adopted six resolutions, conforming in sentiment to the avowed object foe which they were called together. It is stated by Captain Holdridge that passing Kin v ale on the filat of M*Y, he was boaided by a fishing boat, and inform ed by the master that, with the Exception uf one keg, all (he specie on board the Albion, together with the cotton, had been recovered. < Mr. Eve-hart, with the assistance of the mate, is about to give s detailed state ment of the particulars of the Albion’s loss. Neither the mste u«r any part of the crew of that ship, had arrived at Li verpool when the Hubert Fulton sailed. A meeting of the African Institution was held in London on the 10th of May A long report was retd, stating the num ber of vessels employed openly by the French, and clandestinely by the French and Dutch, in carrying on the traffic in slaves and adverttug to terms of praise to the South American government* in a bolishing the trade ; and that of the Unit ed States in declaring it piracy. Mr John Randolph was present, and addresMed the meeting un the subject. The following notice of his remarks is gi ven in the Times " Mr. John Randolph (the distinguished Ametican) then rose to return thanks for this mark of respect toward* the United Starea (if American, lie said that alter the eloquence which had already been displayed unun this great subject, it would be an act or presumption, scarcely excus able in any stranger, but unpardonable in him, to intrude his unpremedated expres sions "upon them after the able speeches which they lurtt not only heard but felt. (Applause.) lie wss, however, impelled by a double motive which he could notte- sist, to offer himself for a few moments to to their attention. First, to discharge in set of duly in behalf of his native land, in the absence of its official representative —an absence as unexpected by himself as it was unforeseen—and which had cast upon him a duty he feltinadequate to per form—that of thanking tnis meeiingfor the grateful tense they had expressed towards America, and alao to as-ure them that all thatvras ex ilted in station, in talent, and in moral character, among his coun trymen, was (ns was also to be found in England) firmly united tor the Supnrcs sion of this infamous traffic. (Loud ip' plausr;) It was delightful tohim to know that Virginia, the land of his sires, the place ol his nativity, had for Haifa centu ry affixed a public brand, an indelible stigma, upon thia traffic, and had put in the claim of the wretched objects of it to the common rights and attributes nf hu mnnity.—(Loud applause.) Ite reheated ’his thanks to the meeting for the natter ing reception they had given him. “ (The plainness of Mr. Randolph** appearance, his republican simplicity of manner, and east and unaffcctetl address, attracted much nf attention ; he sat down amidst a burst of applause.i” Tlie disturbances in Staffordshire and other parts ol Hie interior of England, which we have heretofore noticed, had not entirely subsided. The miners and fann ing labourers were riotous ; the former on account of the reduction of wages, and the latter on account of the labour saving ma chines that had been introduced. FRANCE, A vessel sailed from Marseilles on the 27th of April for Greece, with twenty-five military puasangers, and there have been two arrivals at that port from Alexandria and Smynar. A French writer, in allusion to the af- fairs of Greece and Ttrkey, remarks that " the French Revolution is the parent of all the revolutions that have aucceeded it ;*’ and the emancipation of the United States of America was the cause of the four powers of the New World that have recently proclaimed their independence. Nothing further is stated of the commo- tioos that have partiallv disturbed the in- teroal tranquillity of France. PORTUGAL.

The language of the ducument, though firm, is conciliatory. On the 3d of April war was expected at Constantinople, and 14.000 troops had been recently sent into Asia, from whence it was inferred that war with Persia wae not improbable. The Sultan had not ra tified the treaty concluded between thfi Pacha of Bagdad and the Prince Kii mah Shah. An entrenched cerop, occupied by tht Turkish troops, under the wall* of Patras, is said to have been forced by the Greeks, who, after killing a considerable number of the enemy, carried off 40 pieces pf field Artillery tent from Constantinople and a quantity of ammunition. The Pacha of Egypt is about, to descent upon Cypria and Candis. T.„ island of Scio, one nf the richest in tht Archipelago, rebelled against the Turks on the P2d of March, and displayed the standard of the cross.
