Complaints of distress, scarcity of money, and dill; tress Of trade, are not co , .fined to Britain only. Every - where they are the same, but in some countries they ?;e raqre aggravated than even among ourselves. In • the United States, which comparatively were ua• :" -Singed by the war, excepting a few illegal captures Com them by their quondam friend I3n—NAPART4 and 'which they bore with great patience—in the United , States the extent of Commercial distress baffles all . description. In the North of Europe, and through. out Germany, there is comparatively but little de :Mand Tor the products of industry ; that is, few can find means to purchase them; and pseudo economists, • reeking their brains to find out the cause of the slow sale of their manufactures, can find no other but,. tossbiaation among iht Britiskilasufdaurers m sell prime Cost, till they havi ruined ail their Conniestal rivals : nor do they once ask themselves how our Manufacturers could find capital to throw away in such an aboard and ruinous scheme. In the South matters are in no • better condition. Throughout Italy there is nothing but complaint— except among Ecclesiastics. With them things have mended within these two years, though they neither have, nor ever will, acquire either the wealth or the influence which they possessed in former times, and which they so much abused. Potentates have not, nor ever will forget, how often—hew invariably, in Catholic countries, they have endeavoured to set themselves above the Kings of the earth ; nor will they ever permit them again to preach up rebellion among their subjects with impunity. In Spain, according to letters from Madrid to tke 2.! instant, the se ircity of money, especially in the capital, has never been equalled. In the maritime . towns the distress is less severe, as the commerce they possess, such as it is, keeps a little money circ :dating but the . poverty of the Treasury and ere inefficiency of the taxes is such, that the persons dependent on the Government, as well as the Army, receive no pay. In the interior commerce is so completely at a stand. and the inhabitants generally so impoverished that neither loans nor cnotributions can be obtained.—The same letters mentin that Don PEDRO CEYALLOS has been removed, and PIZARRO, late Spanish Envoy at Berlin, acts in his place as Prime Minister : this Gen tleman was in office under the Cortes, and then be longed to the liberal party ; but what changes his ac cession to power will produce, is very uncertain. The reason why King FERDINAND has put aside his old Minister, is not stated, he has however fared pretty well, since it is added, that he is to retain his former salary, and gn as Minister to Naples. This is, in facr, a considerable fall, but, under the Asiatic system by which Spain is governed, banishment has frequently fallen to the lot of degraded favodrites. But to return. What is the cause of the general distress ? What likely to afford relief ? The first question may easily be answered generally—the late long war; but to trace the secondary causes—to follow money ' and property through the devious• winning, and unnatural channels into which they have been forced by the operation of the war, would occupy volumes. Instead of attempting directly to answen the second question, which would take up much root*. and at present to little purpose, let us examine .other for a few moments—are the general &strew: otmedialle ? Yes, for the plainest reason possible. The demands of mankind are food, clothe:, and hdgirsz. The earth has not lost its productive powers, nor am any of her mineral contents less within the reach of labour and industry than they have always been. In other words, every thing that mankind wants is as much within the reach of man, and in as great abuts dance as ever they were. Have mankind lost the power to call them forth ? Has man ceased to be as industrious an animal as formerly ? Neither t h e one nOr the other. Have different classed reciprocally ceased to need the productsof the industry of the others? No ouch thing. Their wants are as great as ever, and they are mutually as willing as ever to part with their respective productions for an equivalent. .Wby then such general distress ? The answer must strike every intelligent mind. The general system of So ciety has in some way or other got io deranged, that .the regular barter of the products of industry is in• cumbered and impeded; that is, the oleftemes incurred, in-some way or other, on the transfer, defeats its ob ject. Whenever mankind shall have sense'enough to vesiipte this question, they will easily find ou t the cause of the prevailing distress—and they will, w ith equal - facility. discover the remedy. The industry of each individual can only spare, be. yond the absolu te demands of his own wants, a car- Wu portion, for the usaititenance of thou gam nurtiern and industry furnish within: required 41k:4:oh* maim of thecouguttnity. No artifice whatever can enable any comm unity to go on prosperously for one moment longer than the labours of those who are productive can maintain themselves and those who produce nothing. Whenever the number of the latter becoMes g reater than the forma can maintain by the surplus I , i , Of their laour, s crisis b induce 3 'which must ultimately wor), as °lip mire. tof f ,peopla who 4 possest properly klMi3,ll)q cautious andfriggst in their expoutittne; thus theirrisdoctive powers of 'industry cease to - he called foriaten'molit wanted, And hence l'stagnetion of trade. Soils a Crisis we have now at .tsinsl, and it is folly to continue to shut our eyes to the remedy. Like medicine during a malady, it may be v.try nauseous, but it is indiSpeasable to the cure. MAILS. A Hamburgh and a Dutch Mail arrived, just as this Paper was putting to press. On the 25th ult.' the EMPEROR Of RUSSIA arrived at' Grats in good health, and on the 29th reached Petersburgh. . The Dutch Papers state, diet the French Govern• silent has .appointed two Lieutenant• Generals and two Marechaux-de-Camp to inspect the troops in the French fortresses on•the North frontier. Last night we received German Papers, euntSining the AJdress of the States of Wortemberg to the new Sovereign, and his answer. They are important do cuments. The necessity of adopting the Represents• dye system is admitted, and probably the laws neces sary will, ere long, be enacted in the form of a Con stitution. Letters from Charlestown of the date of the 18th.1 October, arrived this morning. They repeat a story from St. Domingis as new, which appeared in the STAR of October 29th. On that occasion the article in question stated thia the Tessa had sailed from ,faquernel on the 21st August : to make it plausible on the present occasion, the date has been transposed precisely one month,as it is now made 21st September. In short, the whole article, (which gave out, by the bye, that PETION and CHRISTOPHE were at war and in the field against each other,) appears to be an American fabrication. Other letters from Charleston state that the emi grations fro:n the South to Buenos Ayres continue,to a very great extent. An immense number of French Officers lately sailed, carrying with them arms, ar tillery, and war munition of every description, in order to assist the Patriots in their emancipation. In another part of our Paper will be found a full Report of the Proceedings of the Court of King's Bench yesterday, in the case of Lord COCHRANIL His Lordship was fined One Hundred Pounds, but, as will be seen from our Report, the fine was not paid; and we regret to learn that his Lordship re mained in the King's Bench Prison np to the time at which this day's Paper went to press. To-morrow the reign of GEORGE the THIRD will have exceeded in duration that of HENRY the THIRD, and will he the longest reign since the Norman Con quest. May it last for many years forger. and may the condition of his MAJESTY permit his return to the exercise of his authority The immediite cause of the death of• the flrtmoo' pLailt of MECELIAIBURGII-STRELITZ was a &fluxion of the bream.

Friday the Right Hon. DAVID FOYLE, Lord Justice Clerk of ScotlAnd, was re-elected Lord Rector of the University of Glasgow. A Requisition has been signed by seventy-nine Members of the Common Council to the LORD MA Yon, requesting him to convene a Court to consi der of.the preient distressed stats of the Country. The LORD MAYOR of Dublin held a meeting of the Nobility, Clergy, Bankers, Merchants, Gentry, and Traders, at the Mansion-house, on the 16th (Saturday last), at two , o'clock, to consider the best mode of relieving the wants of the Poor of the City of Dublin during winter, and to create a Fund by subscription for that purpose. We are assured that there was no meeting in the Market-place of Birmingham on Friday last,. as stated in a London Evening Print of Tuesday, and thence copied into this and other Papers. Mr. HUNT did see Colonel MGMenow on Tuesday, and, as reported, not the Colonel only, but two or three other Gentlemen, who, accidentally, perhaps; came into the Colonel's room as soon as Mr. HUNT had entered it. Having mentioned his business, be inquired how he could deliver a petition to the Prurrca REGENT ?—He was told that there were two modes: One by bringing it to the Levee, the other by deli. wring, it to the Secretary of State for the H ome Department. He inquired if there was no other mode ? and was answered— No.. Sunday morning two boys, brothers, named Tho mas and James Mason, were found dead under a• tree, clasped in each other's arms, in the mountain of Snatty, county of Clare. They were on their re- Miro from Limerick, where they were on Saturday last. , An Inquest was holden on the bodies. Ver. dice-Died by the inclemency of the weather. CHILD Dnovertlo.—A fine male infant, apparently about a month old, was found at the door of Mr. Yates, in Holborn Bars, on Monday. It was wrap. ped in a sort of clothes basket, covered with a blan. ket, and it bad on very decent clean lion. A Lady, named Grierson, took the child under her. care. Another of the transports, who lat ly escaped from Newgate, as it is supposed, is detained at Hereford. Information was received at Newgate yesterday, that a suspicious chaiacter •had been takes into custody there, and when interrogated he refused to give either his name or address. A person was bag forthwith to Hereford to ittestify the pritoner. • 111,114 Pani•lgOeß, MAlLS—aaa. ova. ,„. all. out.
