MONTHLY REPORT OF THE STATE OF COMMERCE. London, 20th September, 1807.

THE

HE East India and Jamaica fleets are arrived. The former consisted of the fol lowing vessels, viz. the Harriet, Monarch, Sovereign, Alexander, Lord Castle reagh, Asia, Bengal, Earl St. Vincent, Lord Nelson, Lady Jane Dundas, Waltham stow, Hugh Inglis, and Huddart. The cargoes of these vessels consist of the following articles, viz. Bengal goods, of muslins 42,312 pieces, callicoes 157,504 pieces-Prohibited Bengal goods, viz. of callicoes 68,789 pieces-Madras goods, viz. of Bettelles 500 pieces, muslins 150 pieces, muslin handkerchiefs 100 pieces, callicoes 90,890 pieces-Prohibited Madras Goods, viz. of callicoes 5891 pieces-Prohibited Bombay Goods, viz. of callicoes, 101,086 pieces, raw silk 1,023 bales, saltpetre 55,200 bags, sugar 15,500 bags, cochineal 39 chests, opium 20 chests, pepper 1,618,105 lbs. hemp 244 bales, copper ore $16 bags, nutmegs 213,601 lbs. cloves 90,853 lbs cinnamon 302,567 lbs. Mace 44,870 lbs.-Subscription investment, 316 bales-Privilege goods, 3651 chests of indigo, 1584 bales cotton wool, 1071 bales cotton, 12 chests gun Tragacanth, 596 chests gum Arabic, 30 chests Rhubarb, 82 bales raw silk, 13 bullocks' hides, 36 jars castor oil and green ginger, 30 chests safflower, 59 chests camphire, 14 chests ginger, 30 chests gum animi, 600 bags pepper, 21 bags gall nuts; besides sveral other parcels of various sorts, the particulars of which are not yet known.

The Jamaica fleet, we are informed, brings home large quantities of rum, sugar, coffee, and cotton wool, all of which, we regret to add, come to a very bad market. This fleet, on entering the channel, consisted of about 70 sail, part whereof was destined for Liverpool, &c. and about 40 have since anchored in the Thames.

The total failure of the expedition sent out to Buenos Ayres under the command of General Whitelocke, together with the obligation imposed upon the British of quitting Monte Video, &c. at a very short notice, has strongly affected bur merchants and traders in general: several of the former had shipped large quantities of goods for Monte Video, which they must now either dispose of at a heavy loss, or leave them liable to confiscation. This blow has been the more severely felt, since several of the periodical prints had made it a practice to speak of the capture of Buenos Ayres as an event which would inevitably take place. The adage says, that "malum ex malo nascitur," and never was it more fully verified than by the arrival of an account “of the Dutch ports having been shut against erery vessel, even neutrals, coming from England," immediately subsequent to that of the failure of South American projects.

Hitherto our task has been in some respects painful; we now, however, find a pleasure in announcing that there is every appearance of our unlucky dispute with the United States of America being amicably adjusted; the report which has prevailed in town within the last few days, of an embargo being about to be laid upon American · shipping, is totally groundless.

We are happy to learn the issue of our expedition to Copenhagen, whereby our maritime interests in one quarter of the world are secured; and it pleases us to find that the Ministry is on the point of sending a considerable force to protect the vessels of our allies the Portuguese against the attacks of the rapacious Gallic tyrant, who strains every nerve to alienate from us the confidence of all commercial nations.

The Yorkshire clothiers complain, in common with other manufacturers throughout the kingdom, of the dullness of trade.

The hops are now picking throughout the kingdom, and the accounts from the plantations are, generally speaking, favorable; but especially from those of Sussex.

At the East India Company's sale, which began on the 2d of the present month, prompt 4th December next, 30,000 bags saltpetre rough, viz. 1479 bags sold from 52s. to 52s. 6d.--the remainder, 50s. to 51s. 6d.--sweepings, 300 bags, 44s. to 45.In private trade, 20 bags, 40s 6d. to 45s. per cwt.: and at their sale, September 4th, prompt 8th January 1808, sun hemp, 237 bales, sold from 40s. to 47s.-915 bales, sold from 40s. to 471.-915 bales, 33s. to 39s. 6d.-134 bales, 24s. to 29s. 6d →1 bale, 15s. per cwt. The East India Company will put up at their present September sale, besides those goods already declared, the under-mentioned, viz. Neutral property, mace 620 lbs. prize ditto, mace 80 lbs. and cloves, 1650 lbs. for sale with the mace, on the 1st October, 1807, prompt 8th January, 1808.
