wing an independent country the privilege to iel—to pay us a tax for carrying on her own trade! what effect must this have upon America'? Yoa send her in quest of those resources that will ul itely make her independent of your manufactures. that you make the enemy a nation of soldiers, America a nation of manufacturers; and thus all you can to enable the one to beat you, and other to starve you (hear ! hear !). I say again, anent the feeling of Amerita towards this country. ..anent that you have provoked that feeling. With - at of tedious pertinacity in ill offices—a teazing lesness—a kind of incapacity to be quiet,you *aye wed yourselves out of the affections of America. i have not acted with- wisdom —you have not !cl with dignity—your strength lies in the entirety .our commerce. There has been too much of a rued g spirit of envy, that should have been foreign to great a people. Why should we have been so jealous :he little trade of an infant state comparatively ? , u should have put such thoughts far from you ; in rtaining such you descended from the grand eleva. that was peculiarly your own, to meddle little game with which your dignity should not .e suffered you to interfere—you have lost much dealing in small games ( Hear, hear!) You have lg been too great to profit by them—look back to time when you possessed one Continent and in !need another—you lost the one in a wanton effort put about a hundred thousand pounds into your usury ! You call this pride—it is the want of de ; for if you had it you would know how to .use in your own greatness, and not descend to trifle a rivalry that would betray rather the craving monopoly than the spirit of emulation. Let gland be to America what she ought to be, and merica will be to England all that we could wish Be warned by the infatuation that once lost ,u America, and let not the same infatuation drive now into the arms of France. Mr. CANNING took a very extensive view of our .merican relations, and in a speech of very great igth, minutely replied to the obwrvations ef the fferent Members. He complimented the Right ronourable Gentleman (Mr. Grattan) for the lcndid declamation with which he that night had pported the Motion of his Friend (Mr. Whit ead ). Still he conceived, that notwithstanding the peals of those who opposed him , be c ou l d well su p . irt the system w hich the present Administration had irsued with respect to America. it still was his !ty to inform the House, that although provoked as Misters were, the regard they lid to the country, -bad them to interfere with discussions which were ading between the respective Governments. The Aim of the Right Honourable mover, went to the :cut of fettering the conduct of Government in dk ;sions with the Ministers of neutral states. He nsolered the present discussion premature, and de ided the Orders in Council upon the principle of re iation. The right of resisting the attacks of an my was a principle of self-defence. If the attack through our commerce, we had II right to retaliate -ougli commerce ; if neutrals acquiesced in the de ; us of our enemy, we had also a right to retaliate, d :,eize neutrals ; if this was not the principle ac awedged by Belligerent States, our grandeur and sublimity mentioned by the Honoureblee Mem. r oppoite, would sink to simplicity.—(_d laugh ! ) tier all, to what did the proposition from Mr. Pinck 'y amount ? It was this—that when Great Britain .ve up all her Orders in Council, that of the 7th of unary, 1807, as well as the rest, then the President old some time or other suspend the Embargo.— here was no precise time specified for this. But the em-importation way still to be in force, by the Llf of your commerce would be cut off. Besides, you ) s sessed no security that French ships in the liar. airs of America would not take the rest. The .oposal itself was a mere mockery, for the one half their ships, released by the removal of the Em trgo, would have gene into the ports of Frances ; iw were they to prevent this ? A partial embargo, imitting trade with England, and not with France, .as a contradiction in terms, it was perfect fie ; in proportion to the necessities of France would the number of the ships that cleared out for that iuntry. It the embargo was taken off this day, he iuld know to-morrow at Lloyd's what was the price insurance of American ships to France or Holland. !hat were the acts of h_ ,stuffy displayed by this coon ? In spite of the Non-importation Act, we had rice passed acts in &veer of American commerce. —The Non-Importation Act alone, in other times, -ould have been a sufficient pound of war. The fight Honourable Gentleman then defended himself th grea& ability from the charge of arrogance ;ought against him by the Honourable Gentleman. Whatever charges of this kind might be brought gainst him, he derived consolation from the very ifferent ctpinioni expressed hy Messrs. Pinckney and :onroe, the American Andeiesaders, on the nature if the communication with them. Lord HENRY PETTY - in a most animated speech !plied to the various arguments of the last speaker. He dwelt with peculiar energy on the effect produced America by the letter Mr. Canning to Mr. 'inkney, dated the 23d September, 1808. That ommunication reaeiled A :::erica previous to the Elee ion—a time in a dernoceatic country of great heat old political zeal. as ins effect ? It was to be :raced in the follow Ing c:rcumstance: it was well un derstood that in the various states, previous to the election of a President, each c ate elected an inspector, :o whom was delegated il.e vote of that state for the election of a chief m.e,:iorate. It was well known :hat on the appointment ti•e inpectors, previous to the late election ter ;I Preeident, persons from the federal, oche: wise the Englkli inteiest, were almost universally returned. Bat such was the effect oi the able and well-timed conaao of the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, that :lie whole public mind of America was insulted by his ill-placed irony; and the consequence was, that a revilution of public ()pillion took place, by which the party in America presumed not most friendly to English infleience, was intrusted with the Sovereignty of that important Empire. Mr. ROSE entered into various explanations of circumstances to which an illusion was made by the p r eceding Speakers, and contended by expressing his hope, that the people of America understood that their best policy was connected with English predo rniaance. Mr READ cxpressed his determination ntit ivilege of replying, to Whicli, to avail himself of the 16 t h e e i g inal naaver, he was entitled. However, he ABLY. could more freely cllspente with the mere* of the right, inasmuch as every argument that was Eby his oppenents was ably met by the Honourable Mends who supported him ; and where there was ;nth a mar nicest deficiency in meeting his observations, he could 11.0 t, at that hour, ttesspass on the House, even for the purpose of exposing the absurdity of such attempts.

By the vessel which brought from Heligoland the German Papers from which we yesterday gave ex tra ts, an Officer arrived with dispatches for Govern ment. If we may credit the reperts in circulation, thfiie dispatches confirm, in some degree, the accounts we gave in our last, of Russia not being disposed to join in NAPOLEON'S projected overthrow of the Aus trian Monarchy. It we may judge from the price of Stocks, this news receives sonic credit in the City.— A war between France and Austria is now considered as certain. An exchange of prisoners has been negociated with the King of DENNIARK. A cartel has been appointed, and sail in a few days from the Norc she will take upwards of 200 Danish prisoners, principally seamen, and return with an equal number. Dispatches have been received from Admiral 8-roP ronD's squadron off Rochefol t, brought to Plymouth by the DorrEitta.r. brig of war of 18 guns, Captain When these dispatches came away Admiral Ducx won-rn's fleet had not joined the ships that were then watching the enemy's motions.—Admiral STOPFORD'S squadron was seven sail of the line, four frigates, and one brig.—The enemy's force, eleven sail of the line, (one cf them a 3-decker, and one of them a 64) and three frivates. The three frigates which were chased by the CzsAr, DEFIANCE and DoNzwsL, were driven on shore at Sable d'Olonne, and supposed to be rendered useless. The enemy were tryii g to unload them. They are the Italian, the Calip: o, a a Fames. On the `26th ult. the enemy's fleet got under weigh fi-om Basque Roads and procceied to Isle d'Aix, where another of the . r frigates got on shore, and where, we unders!and, hopes are entertained that they will not be able to escape some farther injury, when Sir J.

A vessel which arrived at Dover yesterday from off Flushing, states the French ships lying there, and now ready for sea, at a less number than we gave yester day trot► the Hamburgli papers. According to this vessel the whole force consists of nine sail of the line, a 50 gun ship, and two frigates. The Charlemagne French prize sent into Falmouth, as we stated yesterday, was one of e;ght bound from L'Orient to G uadaloupe.. The RALEIGH went in pursuit of the others, and slime of them will probably be taken. The nutster of the Charlemagne states that the Fi cnch had ready for sea, in different ports of France, about 30 ships of the line, the greater part of which, according to report, were destined for the West Indies. Dispatches have been received at the Admiralty from Admiral BraTir, at the Cape of Good Hope, dated December (.79 ; they advise the capture of the 1...,kent1., Captain NV() )tcoNlar, of 22 guns, by la Ca noniere French fr*gate, C 6 guns, after a severe,and obstinate engagement, which continued near an hour . , off the Isle of France. Eight men were killed, and, about (20 wounded, among w:lom, we can assure our Readeis, there was net an Officer of any description. The crew of the LAUREL were daily expected to arrive at the Cape, their exchange having been ef, fected. Among those taken after the engagement, Nv eJe two or three officers, who had previously been appointed to the CuLlawn.r., of which ship the LAUREL was in search when she fell in with la Ca- noniere. From tLe absence of neutrals from the Isle of France, the F nict cruizing of our ships in that station, by which all supplies arc intercepted, the in habitants were reduced to a most deplorable state.

He is allowed to make the best of his way ; and bettings is 2tol on time. The match is for two hundred guineas, and the pedestrian goes half the stake. During the conflagration at Christ's Church Col. kge, Oxford, another fire broke out' at Lee F; r.n (Mr. HonoKlN's), in the same county. It burst out in a hen-roost, in a spaciousfarm-yard, and commu nicated to the stables, over which a man and a boy were sleeping, and whq were burnt. - Above 20 head of cattle were destroyed, together with several ricks of corn and hay, but the dwelling-house was preserved. Neither Mr. H. nor his family were at ho lie at the time of the fire. The premises were very sl:ghtly insured. Last Saturday, at twelve o'clock, a chimney tock, fire at Lord CIiArtLtVILLE'S house in Grosvenor square, which burnt furiously for some time, but was fortunately got under without committing any farther injury. The same day the Nag's Head public-house caught fire, but was soon got under without much damage. A melancholy circumstance lately occurred at Kil kenny, in Ireland.—Major CHAULES LLOYD of the 66th, was, with a division of his Regiment, on march from Dublin to Cork previous to emharl;ation. After dining with his brother officers, and the officers of the Cavan Militia, he left the.mess before the rest of the party broke up, being anxious to return early to Mrs. C. LLOYD,' whom he had left alone at the inn, but who in vain looked for his return : for, dreadful to relate, the night being very dark, and a bridge which he had to pass being much flooded, it is con jectu,-ed that he either missed his path across the bridge and got into the main current, or that he had sunk through a hole that . has been discovered in the bridge since the waters subsided. The most diligent searchfor several days was made for the Andy without success, but on the 2ad nit. it was found by accident, in the river, about a mile below the town ; it had not received any injury except from being immersed so long (eighteen days) in the water.—Makw Li.orn was the eldest son of THOMAS LLOYD, Esq. of Winchelsea, in Sussex, and was very recently married to Miss EmNtA HALE, daughter of the late General HALE. - z it e e e it it t, IS a, A 0, ly ... - h.
