MARY ON THE coAsT OF EAS FLORIDA. Admiral CoCEßuittes ezpeditii►n, f r the success of which some groundlets apprehensi►ms were re cently entertained, has at length been heard of. The gallant Admiral has commenced his career by the capture of St. Mary's, a considerable American fort, situated at the mouth of a river of that name on the ,c4N4t.,of East Florida. The achievement was at tained with inconsiderable ln•: on the part of the Britislt : the following are all the particulars which have as yet been received of this event s— • COVE OF CORK, FEBRUARY 15.

The Admiral threatens to attack New York." Since yesterday we have received the Paris Papers of Friday. They contain a long note or remon strance to Congress from the French Minister Tat.- LEYLAND, on the subject of Poland, (a copy of which appeared in the STAR Of the 13th inst.) It is a mild and temperate appeal to the Rood sense of the Plenipo tentiaries agaigst any attempt at again partitioning that country. It will of course be declared an lode. prudent kingdom. With respect to Saxony, it ap pears that the King recovers the sovereignty of a small part of his kingriom, but as he receives it un conditionally, that is to say; without being permitted to remonstrate against or challenge the decision of Congress, the important point is recognised, that he was fairly taken prisoner at Leipsic with arms in his hand, and that therefore his territories were to all in tents and purposes conquered Provinces. • His pride is thus completely mortified s and his seal in the cause ot. reov Amur% has met ha- severest le ward- in. humiliation and disgrace during the rest of his reign. Two Dutch Mails arrived this morning : the intel. ligence they convey is a mare echo of the contents of the French Papers. The arrangement of the leading points which oecupied die attention of Congress his been mode known throughout Holland, although not officially, and has diffused universal joy. The subject of the Gan Laws underwent anothet discussion last night, in the House of Commons, on the question for receiving the Report of the Resolu tions of the Committee, which was carried by a ma• jority of 235 to 38. We have examined with much attention the argu ments that have been brought forward in support of the proposed advance of the prohibitory price of Corn ; and the more we have investigated, the more we are convinced of the impolicy and injustice of the measure, and the futility of all the arguments that have been advanced to enforce its propriety. We have but little hope of producing any effect in that quarter where alone it could be useful, by any thing we can advance ; but knowing by experience the power of truth, and convinced that it is a duty we ewe to the community, we will continue to raise our feeble voice while the least possibility remains of its producing the smallest effect. If it were our opinion that every individual, who supports the measure, was actuated only by interested motives, we 'would at once be silent, for we cooktit then have no rational hnpe of being heard by any who have a voice in the question ; but giving many of them credit for the sincerity of their professions— nay more, believing that they are actually persuaded that dear ors, lash wages to mechanics and labourers, and an exoriitata value set on all articles of manufac ture, are for the general benefit of the community, we still continue to think that possibly we may in- duce some of them to examine, with more care, the ground of their opinions, and to hesitate before they entail upon their own families and upon theother members of the community an evil, of the magnitude of which they seem now ignorant. It has long been an axiom with financiers that two and IWO do not always make fear. It holds equally true of rash I for excessive rents eventually bring excessive expenditure. But for a moment we shall take it for granted that dear tarn is a likaise to any country. If so, why for corn to be importable when the price is Ws. ? Would not 160 s. bring double that double the benefit to the community t And, ifthe doctrine tie true, 200 s. or SOO& per quarter wet, IstEl mime rapidly advance the prosperity of the mint -try t for a II• high prptieting :price for corn will in ? entosa.the prige of those articles which the usanufae. ludirprepirteetertis customers, the agriculturalists," and ionsequently the higher that price the more will iht se for his manurattures ! —Those who argue thus (and there are some to whose intell..ctual powers this appears to be sound logic) should engrain, why dear corn makti manufactures dear ? the qitestion is an wired ht their own proposition. But they ought at the same time to enquire a little, how twirl hand, the manufacturers could employ if they had lio other markets for the produce of their workshops but the agriculturalists of Britain. Now, it is very pus ink that the landholders and farmers may be willoiT.,-as customers, to pay high prices fur m inufactiired :a tides; butunless they can consume the entire ma:at -factures of the country, we apprehend they will find it somewhat more difficult to persuade the fortign consumer to come to our markets for d.ar gcods, than to persuade the farmers of the truth of a self evident proposition, that under high rents they :raw have a proportionably high priCe for their produc... .. amlt as it is 4 , bad policy to depend on foreign na. dons for subsistence," perhaps it may be equally bad I policy to depend on foreign nations (or the consump tion of bur manufactures 1 Whether it may be good iar'bad policy, the proposed law win g in its close .fleencei, be proved la be a prohibition against the exportation of our manufactures to other nations. In other words, the tide of the Bill will be found to he a misnomer. It shoald be entitled, As Au to dimi nish the popufatiox of the Empire, that eve may never le in danger of ma havin: a sujiatcy of Cora for the moult: 481 are so so . ntsme it 1 %Von—perhaps this may be desirable. We have heard of an author who has un dertaken to prove that the population which ,4 has increased and is increasing, ought to be diminished," and we have met with grave and learned men who have subscribed to the soundness of this dogma ; but, however true it may be io the abstract, that this re-_ form in . the body politic should be accomplished, we -apprehend that it is not quite " the proper season for the abolition" of procreation—neither of persetu nor of mosey: because we have, as a nation, incurred a debt whit.* can only be liquidated by the fruits of in dustry, and the quantum of this produce must de pend on the number of hands that can be produc tively employed. They labour under a lamentable privation or per veriiun of intellect, who cannot see that the Utopian idea of independence, in any respect whatever, if followed to its consequences, would destroy the whole fabric of social intercourse. Man was not made to be independent—he is placed in much butter circum stances—the necessities of every individual crimpels him to receive the help of his neightnur, and to con „tribute in his turn tc supply his brother's waits. All : ialershinges of this kind, %hen analysed, resolve tbeniielves into barter. Tie intermedia of money and bullion, not well understood by shallow poleti clans, serves t bewilder them. However many hands the article which I dispose of may pass through, before it reaches the consumer, and in however many ways it may be paid fors however many other ar tides may in this chain of communication have been paid for by the prices repeatedly paid to each seller of my commodity—l ultim ttely obtain for my article, • /110.64 but the tea, the sugar, the silk, with which others have parted to possess themselves of the fabric which was seat.front my warehouse, or the corn sent from jay fasiat.L. It by any bad management my clntla or my tars .is sent to market, loaded with too high 'an espense, I must be content to receive less coffee,* or hemp, Acc. in return, or I must keep my own commodities unsold ; for the foreign consumer will give me no more of his produce for my article, than could procure for him an equal quantity from the rival trader of another nation. They labour under a great mistake who imagine that this country never exports corn but in the shape of grain or of bread. It is actually exported in I.lrge quantities in the shape of lima, broad cloth, and hard ware. Yes, look to it, ye short sighted politicians Once destroy your manufacturer, the fabrication of which employs many consumers of corn, and you will find. by sad experience, that muslin sent from Glasgow or Manchester was really corn exhorted from Great Britah o I Ovid it have been believed, if we had not the evi. dence before our eyes, that propositions so plain as almost to defy the possibility of illustration, should be so little understood in England, in the Nineteenth Century ! For the sake of your country, of your pos terity, of your own individual property ! pause a little before you venture to entail such a calamity upon the Empire as the proposed measure will produce !

The friends . of Mr. BARCLAY, the new Member, had, it seems, announced their intention of chairing him al this day, and by twelve o'clock the whole of the Borough was in motion.

THE LATE ACTION BETWEEN THE ENDYMION AND PRESIDLN r. The following , is :t fuller account of this well. (ought action than any which we have yet seen pith. liched. It is taken tiom the Rao/ &meth Gazelle of the 25th of January, which we have just rec. ived; " At seven In the morning of the 15th January, the Unite.' States frigate President yr at Oeseay..Tred nearly within gun-hat of the Majestic, steering to the Lane/4rd under a press of salt. 1 he squadron, cimsistim; of the Mujest:c. Errlyntion, Posnmue, atul Tenedos, rave eliace; the Eadymion paused the squadron s and gained fast on the cheer. About ball-past two the tquadrun was eight er nine miles astern, when the President commenced firing bee *tern-gnat 66 The President used every exertion to escape by wettlng her sails, throwing overboard boats, spars. provisions, Ste. to lighten. her, but the superior sailiu. of the Ernlymion being evidonr, an 1 1 that she gained rapidly on the Presitiete. an action became una voidable. The l're4clent made an attempt to cross the Endy. mime, bow, and give a raking broadside, this manopsere was siticated by the Endymion puttitij up her he: at newly at dip same moment, and thereby brought the two ships en a parallel line of sallinz. The amino then commenced, at half paw ave, ar about muskatsahot, and continued until eight o'clock, wbvii the President ceased firing and 'hewed a light ; she. then abet a brie asitead, Entlyinion turned hands up, bent new mums, nos peered other damages, and was ton again in nearly her former position. when the Pontone and Tenetinscame up and their helm took possession, the whole of the Didymium's boats having hen destroyed. " On boarding the President the loss was found to be upwards of 100 killed and ws unded, of a complement of 52 men; the. Ere, third, and fourh Lieutenants, and six mid s hip me a wire killed ; Commodore Deca• um and the sailing master wounded, and the ship completely riddled iu her hull, and the masts badly wounded.—Pavt cf Commedore Decatur's nose is shot away. " Endytnion's loss was 11 killed and 15 wounded—not an of- Geer of the number. The principal damage she sustained was its her sails and egging. " The day following the action a dreadful gale commenced at N. E.— I he squadron separated in the night, and be weer twelve and one the Endynsion's main and foremast went by the board, in comequetice of the rigging, where it had been knotted, giyun; way; notwithstanding this disaster, by the exertions of her Officers and crew, the wreck was *non cleared, and in tb. course of the day, although in a tremendous sea, in the gulf stream, and in a continued gale of wind, .he. was completely. utast.4l and riaed and prxeeded for Bermuda. On her voyage she experienced a gale mere severe than the farmer one, which lasted three days. 66 The action was Welly within pliers' filet, and many of ills F.ndyntion's shot went through. both %Licata .1:e President, veld* was not the case in a sh.gle instance on boar I the Endymi.e." 011.511aVATItlals DV THE BEHMUD4 EDlTott. " We cannot conclude without expressing our admiration of the superior conduct of Captain flupe, his Officers, and ship's company, not only during, but subsequent to the action ; by their valour they have removed a transient tarn'sh, which the loss of two or three badly manned and worse fought ships (except the Java) had occasioned, and convinced the world, 'hal ig British friate of the rime class as the Endyniins. when 6 we ll lined' and ably commanded, is a match fur any one-Jerk ship in the world ; and the extraor dinary circumstance of turning the hands up to bend sails immedi ttely niter the conclusion of so severe an acti‘in, is in itself a higher panegyric than language can express." We understand that 41 the American Commis sioners lately engaged ifl the Treaty at Ghent are preparing to proceed to tlgscoun:ry. and the purpo se of their visit is supposed to he to follow up the work of pacification by commt i rcial arrangements. They are already provided with passports, and the Ameri can ship the Neptune, which is at Br, st, has the pri vileges of a cartel for their safe.e ,, nveyance.
