Oporto, with wine, and five others may be hourly expected from the same port. If we take a retrospect of the consumption of port wine, we find it has decreased considerably since the heavy duty took place. In proof of this assertion, we give a statement of the exports from Oporto in the year 1800, and those of 1806, from the Oporto Custom-house books, now before us.-In 1800 were shipped To the British dominions 53,511 pipes To the U. States of America To Hamburgh To Sweden To Russia To Holland To Denmark 105 4394 1324 10 10 2 Total 54,210 In 1806 37,902 4324 1361 50 To British dominions To Hamburgh To Sweden To Russia 791 21 213 27 184 Total 39,046 By this statement it plainly appears that to Great Britain and Ireland, the decrease has been 15,609 pipes of wine. The causes for this decrease we do not at present investigate, we merely state the fact. We have the pleasure to announce the safe Indies; viz. the Marchioness of Exeter, Baarrival of a very valuable fleet from the East ring, Admiral Gardner, Lord Melville, Devaynes, Dover Castle, Tottenham, and Union from Bengal; and the United Kingdom, from Madras; under convoy of the Diademn, M.W. Rear Admiral Stirling. Their cargoes clude, Bengal muslins, 40,739 pieces: cal'icoes, 135,768: Madras muslins, 1679: callicoes 222,108 pieces.

And the annual average of the value of the British exports from Great Britain to the West India Colonies, from the years of 1800to 1805 is £4,002,791 sterling. The quan tity of sugar in the warehouses and afloat in the West India docks on July 13, 1807, were as follows, viz. 8 32,636 hhds. at 12 cwt. making 391,632 cwt. 3 3,165 1,023 Total 425.148 cwt Thus have we endeavoured to give our readers from authentic documents, the magnitude of our West India trade, as well of the imports as of the exports; such however, is the distressed state of the planters, that, at present £160 of Jamaica currency is given for a bill on London of £100; thereby paying an extra premium, or rather sustaining a loss of 20 per cent. the currency of the island being £140 currency to £100 British. In our parliamentary report, notice has been taken of the late encrease of trade at the port of London, as mentioned by Mr. Rose; the reality of this has been doubted by other gentlemen; but we hope it will prove something more than a merely accidental spirt. The measures proposed to advance the interest of the planters have been taken into consideration by our agriculturists. We cannot say, that we are under any great anxiety on the subject, and we trust, that since the importation of corn from the Baltic is stopped by public events, the substitution of sugars for this supply will affect the home growth of corn, and other edible productions, very little if at all. The corn used in the distilleries should never have been British. At the East India Company's Silk Sale, on the 5th inst. it appears that China silks average 25 per cent. and Bengal silk from 70 to 150 per cent. higher than their last sale of that article. Yet we fear the want of Italian silk will cause a still further advance of price in the market; which we very much regret, as it will be the means of many of the poor industrious silk weavers being deprived of their usual labours; in fact, it already is the case; and all kinds of silk manufactured goods have risen considerably in price. With respect to the linen market, there is little doubt, but that article must also advance, owing to the want of American flax seed, in Ireland; but this we understand will be only temporary, as government have it in contemplation to give a considerable bounty to growers of flax seed in Ireland, by which means the poorer class of people there will be enabled to cultivate their land to great advantage; the same we understand will take place with respect to hemp. There is no country in the world better suited than Ireland to the culture of this valuable article. Riga and Petersburgh hemp, which sold last year at £65 per ton, is now up to £92 per ton; and likely to be still higher. These prices, will, no doubt, encourage the culture of some valuable crops; and we sincerely wish those who engage in this speculation, every success in their undertaking, as well for the national benefit, as for their own. The Report from the Coinmittee of the House of Commons, taken from the Inspector General's office of the Custom-house, of the annual average of West India produce, states that, from 1801 to 1806, there has been imported and exported as follows, viz. of sugar imported 3,389,734 cwt.; and exported to Ireland 145,480 cwt. and to other parts 1,058,336 cwt., total exported 1,203,816cwt.
