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

A

NOTHER Jamaica, and a large Leeward Island Fleet, have safely arrived since our last report. The market for West India produce is already overstocked; it is therefore almost needless to add, the cargoes of the cuts in question will remain on hand for a considerable period.-Every report of ours for the last three months has been filled with accounts the most unpleasing, as to the state of internal and external com merce; and on the present occasion, we are sorry that we cannot do other than detail a series of commercial misfortunes hitherto almost unequalled. Look which way we will the prospect is indeed dreary.

Whilst we are engaged in writing this report, the ports of Portugal are about to be closed, and of course many of our first-rate inanufacturers and merchants, if not tota i ruined by the disastrous event, will receive a shock which will have very bad effects. Already a failure of the first magnitude has occurred at Manchester, whereby the tra ling world in general will be deranged, and several workmen and their families reduced to distress, perhaps to an absolute s ate of want.-Most of the Oporto merchants, particularly those who composed the English Factory at that place, have either arrived in England, or are on their passato his country.---The Portuguese merchants residing in London, as well as the English merchants engaged in the Oporto and Lisbon trade, have come to a truly foolish resolution, namely, that of refusing all bills drawn upon them, for acceptance, from Portugal. If they have received value, such a resolution is not very compauble with the boasted integrity of English merchants.

"The manufacturers in the north of France have petitioned the Emperor to allow Portugal to remain neutral, urging, that if prevented from getting cotton from Lisbon, their manufactures will be stopt, and an immense number of people thrown out of employment."-This paragrapli we copy from one of the daily prints, but we do not vouch for its authenticity.

We are really inclined to believe that, in respect to our dispute with the United States of America, nothing will be done to put the country out of its present state of suspense. Both governments seem to be taking a nap, or are dozing over the commercial interests of their respective countries.-Prussia, seeing that all the world appears inclined to turn its back upon us, has shut its ports against our shippingThe Danes do not seem to relish the patched-up armistice, which has lately been ́ concluded between Copenhagen and Great Britain; and we have little doubt but,, should an opportunity occur, they, in conjunction with their opposite neighbours the Swedes, will endeavour to annoy, if not entirely prevent, our trade in the BalticRussia has, it is said, at the desire of Bonaparte, determined to break off all connexion with this country; and a proclamation it is thought will be issued by the Court of St. Petersburgh for the closing of all the ports of the empire against English shipping.

Thus then stands the commercial world at this moment-our export trade nearly annihilated-our manufacturers in all parts of the kingdom unable to give employment to their servan s-our merchants dreading the arrival of every mail from most quarters of Europe, lest they should learn the failure of those in whom they have placed the fullest confidence-in fine, our ability to procure naval stores, such as miasts, tar, hemp, &c. apparently at an end. In fact, the only pleasing communication which, we can convey to our readers is the following: The impediments which lately opposed our trade in the Persian frontiers have been removed, the government having disclaimed all knowledge of them. They are now stated to have arisen from the rapacity of the officers who collected the duties. During the suspended intercourse by land, upwards of 600,000 maunds of ind go, exclusive of other articles, were sent by sea from Beugd to Persia and Arabia.

The following list of captures we transcribe from the Journal du Commerce :—“ Paris, Sept. 20. The Isabella, Laws, bound to Sunderland, was taken on the 13th inst. by L'Espoir privateer, and carried into Fescamp-24th. The Owrle, Radelite, from Ipswich to Liverpool, and the Two Brothers, Truman, from Sunderland, were taken ou the 16th inst. by the Roderic privateer, and carried into Cherbourg. The same privateer captured the Pomona, of 250 tons, and sent her into La Hogue.--27th. L'Aigle privateer has taken the Friendship, from Riga to Sunderland; the Nancy, from Memel to Hull; and a collier belonging to Newcastle. The Decide privateer carried into the Texel on the 17th inst. the Nicholas and Martha, laden with wine.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT.

WHEAT sowing is generally finished, and upon warm and forward soils much of

it is up, and has a most promising appearance; the quantity sown throughout the whole island is greater than ever, and districts in the north, where formerly wheat was scarcely ever heard of, are now covered with it. The lands have generally worked well The turnip crops have been improved by the rains beyond expectation, and the clovers; but the grass is still short. In the best cultivated counties, large breadths of tares, rye, cole, and thousand-headed cabbage, have been sown, and appear in a very flourishing state. Without such assistance, it would be impossible to carry the stock of cattle at present in the country through the winter-The hemp culture has decreased of late years; but the political circumstances of the country seem to indicate the propriety of encouraging the growth of that necessary article and of flax. There is an appearance of universal prosperity in the husbandry of the country, and every agricultural process is carrying forward with spirit, and under the most favourable circumstances. Orders from Government, for the supply of our forces in the Baltic, have the effect of giving some support to the markets; but a vast plenty overbears the prices, which are generally reduced: in the Spring, however, well-fed things may be expected to fetch a high price.
