Were this the case, it i9 our ftp opinion that the interests of com 'tierce, so far from suffering, w«ul(i ultimately be benefiied. If, for a irne, foreign trade should appear decrease, if fewer vessels for in stance, should trade between thicountry and I^iverpool^ opr coasting trade would more than make up for the falling oft', it will surprise, per haps, sosne of our readers, to learn that in on^ single day, very lately, namely, on Friday the 28th April last, oo less than 43 vessels, coastwise, arrived at the comparative!v small port of Providence in Wind. Island, of which 48 vessels, nineteen were laden with cotton and corn from the Southern Mates, intended for sup-' plying the numerous manufactories in*Rhode Island. The raw material after having given employment to thousands of hands, will again require vessels to transport the manufactured articles to all parts of the world. The quantity of home pro ductions thus landed at Providence on Friday last, was as follows: 4,925 hales of raw cotton, 10,530 bushels of corn.

Let it he remembered that while these manufacturing operations can be carried on at home. fhe will b-. no necessity of continually shipping specie to England thus draining the whole countrv from one end to the other, of the precious metals, ^mtv-

It appears that Major Laing was everely wounded by robbers in the territory of Toualt Having, how ver, recovered, in consequence ol the. kind attention of a marabout, or priest, he at length succeeded iri reaching Tiinhuctoo. liut he had carcely arrived, before the Foulahs, that powerful and warlike horde which at present exclusively over the immense deserts ol Central Africa, came, to the numbf-r of thirty thousand, and demanded that Major Laing should be given up to them, that they might put him to death

and thus," a* they observed,

'•prevent Christian nations Irom^re ceiving such information as wight enable them, at some future period, to penetrate into, and enslave the countries of Africii.

Before the arrival of the Foulahs, 24 C' iefs, among whom was a female called J\"ama Peircf, (Princess mother) commanded simultaneously in Timbuctoo.

Every body knows the praises which Deniiam and Ciapperton, in their narrative published two years a^o, bestowed on the Sultan ISdlo, the sovereign of these very Foulahs who have just assassinated Laing and Ciapperton himself. It was a relation of tiie Sultan Hello's, Ahmed-Labhon, wno repaired to Timbuctoo, on the arrival of Major Laing. After having accomplished his immediate onject by the assassination ot our hiavfj friend, he destroyed the ouj^nrhv in Timbuctoo, and established, as the sole Governor of the city, the very Othman Vouid-Quaid-Aboubeknr, whom we have already mentioned. Poor Ciapperton was murdered at **v Sakatoo, the ordinary residence of the Sultan Hello notwithstanding* the kind reception which he nau cxperienced from the So I tan on his first visit. This double perliih of the African Prince, bv whom tne=c sanguinary acts have been eitn^c ordered or permitted, and that after ft having shewn so much attachment to the Eoglisn, appears to have oeeQ^^# simpiy owiii^ to the distrust cre«Cted in his minu by certain individuals, w*:»: ^viio represented our unfortunate cyuntryinen as spies foe tne pu pose ot ascertaining the best means ot laciiitating the conquest ol hti comi-
