BONNE, OCTOBER 4. The Chatnber of Commerce at Cologne has deve. loped, in an energetic Representation, the disadvan tages whiCh must accrue to the Rhenish Provinces from the new system of customs. It affirms that the foreign trade will be destroyed, the internal com merce impeded, the forwarding of goods by land and water prevented, the intercourse between the coun try and the towns abolished; since, while in the latter the law would be enforced, the former, as it cannot be guarded, will be provided with smuggled goods, and the receipt of the customs will net cover the ex pense of management. We may hope that his High ness Prince Hardenberg, to whom the representn:ion has been delivered, will appreciate the remarl s of the Chamber of Commerce, and in his wisdom adopt such measures as may prevent these fatal consequerce:. The Merchants on the Rhine make heavy c =- plaints of the supplementary duty which is t ) be paid upon foreign goods now in the magazn23,— They cannot conceive that the declared ob j ect . of the law, which is the encouragement of internal, in dustry, can be promoted by laying a duty upon goods which are in the country, and may remain in it; or by regarding as foreign, and liable to diary, goods which we have received since our re-union with Germany, 4nd before the publicaticn of the Tariff, from the States of the Confederation or frem France, at the time when the left bank of the Rhine was incorporated with it. . - stitute for Linen, is sold at his East India, Hambre, Manchester, and Family Linen Warehouse, No. 16, CHEAP SIDE, and no where else whateva.

ORIENTALVEGETABLE CORDIAL, by his Majesty's Royal Letters Pater.t.—The salubrious powers of this Cordial have been long ald universally acknowledged by the testimony of thousand'. It is a pleasant, safe, and effectual remedy in Bilious Disorders, excruciating pain or spasm of the stomach and bowls, sickness, vomiting, ilatulencd, crudities, and acidity. It greatly incruses the appetite, promotes diges tion, and fortifies the stomach and bowels. In fainting, lowness of spirits, nervous and hysterical atrophy, it is highly beneficial; by bracing the nerves, cherishing the animal spirits, and giving vigour to the system. To these qualities must be attributed its having proved serviceable in rheumatic cases ; and in attacks of the Gout it hu freed the Patient, when every effort of the Fa culty had been tried in vain. It has also recently been found to possess the excellent vi:tue of preventing an-sickness. The Cordial is sold in its greatest purity by the Pitentee's Agont, Mr. Edwards, fti, St. Paul's Church-yard, Lor.don, in bottles 4s. 6d. and 225. each. Nein est vivere sed valere vfts.--MA " Lif• is oely Life, when blest with Health." THE finest system of Ethics is to confine within due bounds, and thus to regulate the Passions ; stares:reined and insubordinate they impetuously &woe those harriers which Religion and 3lorality have made sacred; to c•:r't but not anni hilate their appears the lesson of Prudence, best calculated to limit their effervescence.

Thilunwary victim of solitary vice, (early acquired at school, before Reason has asserted her right over the mind), will, in contemplating his powerless state, become susceptible of enlivening sensadous, in knowing that the most complicated state of exhaustion may be roused into manly energy.

We best explain our met!-ed by observing to patients labouring under this malady, that a few days only are required for the removal of early symp- toms ; that the most inveterate case will yield to our remedies within a month, and that in a person who only suspects himself injured, the di:ease may be prevented altogether from appearing; similar lark • dies to many other derangements ef the gene. a.. rem.. appL Any o. rativc system, as weakness, ulcerations, &c. especially strictures, obstinate cases of which are daily removed without the use et caustic or stimulant!, Some peculiarities incidental to the softer sex, have not escaped our attention ; in which mildness combined with efficacy has saperseded the means usually adopted.

The Memoirs of Count Las Cases, and his Liver to Lucien Bonaparte, are now published in German at Leipsig, and in French at Brussels. The Public cer tainly obtain remarkable information in these Works, and the situation in which, according to them, the man is placed whosepower and greatness had an in fluence on almost every body now livino, may in spire his enemies with interest and pity. But if those writings have this for . theit object, it is more their contents, than the manner in which they are com posed, that tends to promote it. This latter is so very unsuitable, that it is not owing to it if the object is in some measure obtained. As the advocate of Napo leon, Las Cases has not shown either himself cr client in a favourable light. The tone in • v.-Lich he speaks is revolting by its presumption, and disgust ing by its vanity—instead of being insinuatint, by modesty and self-denial. We will not make war on the unfortunate prisoner of St. Helena ; but we can not quite pretend as if we knew nothing of the dark side of his actions when in power: yet this is what Count Las Cases expects from us. He has not writ ten any better in his own cause.—ln the most arbi trary manner, he assumes to himself honour and me rit from every thing, and is pleased with himself in all, even in the most contradictory, circumstances; as descended from noble ancestors—as an emigrant tak ing the field against his opponents—as the Chamber lain of Bonaparte—as the enemy of the Bourbons, whom he considers as restored through a breath in the national honour—and as the companion of Bona parte in the rocky island. His excuse for not return ing to St. Helena from the Cape of Good Hope when it was left to his choice, is unsatisfactory: there newt be some peculiar circumstances at the bottom of this. However this may be, Count Las Cases has certainly not made the opinion of the Public more favourable to Napoleon by these writings. COLOGNE, OCTOBER Our Sovereign had appointed a Committee to exa mine into the judicial inuitutions which the French Governincin kit in the countries now forming the Gland Dnchy of the Lower Rhine. This Commit tee, consisting of six members, has decidedly declared in favour of the publicity of all Urkds, of trials, and the preservation of the Jury. But the German lawe yeas have set up a most - . violent opposition to this sys tem. Some have ascribed to despotism, others - to re voletionary errors, the happy changes 'which have been introduced in the manner of dispensing justice. —A writer of repntation in Germany, Mr. Weller, Professor of Jurisprudence at Heidelberg, has just published, in the Literary AIM nal of that city, a dis. sertation, full of eloquence and erudition, on the Me• morials of the Committee of his Majesty the King of Prussia.. lie proves that the protecting forms, against which some persons now declare themselie., were formerly the basis of the common law in Cc:- many : he maintains, that even the Caroline has re tained many of them. He supports his opinion by the authority of an eminent German writer, Mr. Moeser, who was a contemporary of Montesquitu, and in his writings exhorted the German Princes to restore the primitive judicial forms, with the modii cations adapted to the age in which he wrote. Mr. Welker further informs us, that the two most formi dable adversaries of the Jury and the publicity of judicial proceedings, Mr. Fenerback, in Bavaria, and Mr. Grolman, in Hesse-Darmstadt, have renounced their opinions, and are now convinced that these stitutions arc indispensable, wherever it is wished that public and individual liberty shall net be mez empty words. ABOLITION OF THE SLAVE TRADE. ADDRESS TO THE ALLIED SOVEREIGNS AT ADCZA-CHAPELLE. (Ormeluded from the Sr&s of yesterday.) A near approach would certainly be made towards the total extinction of this traffic, if the right of visit ing and of detaining vessels engaged in it, or which have slaves on board, were universally agreed upon, so that the national vessels of every State might have the power of visiting the slave-ships of all the others. Without the general agreement of the civilized world to chi.; plan of maritime policy, nothing can effectually bring about the proposed object. It would always be in the power of an independent State, however insig nificant, which should refuse to adopt it, to cover with its flag the contraband trade in slaves, and to ensure th its impunity. But even though this agree ment Auld be universal, yet, while the punishment • **grime shall consist merely in a pecuniary pe nalty, its extinction will remain incomp let e. The risk of confiscation would be counterbalanced by the im mense gains resulting from this trade in blood, gains which would necessarily augment in proportion to the new obstacles to be surmounted ; and it is to be feared that in many cases men would yield to the temptation. The only step to take, when the Slave Trade shall be declared to be an infraction of the general law of nations ; the only step agreeing with these principles, and which can conduct to the desired end, will be this, that the Sovereigns of Europe now in Congress as sembled should proclaim, that reckoning from the Ist of June,lB2.o, the dealer in slaves shall be put on the same footing as the pirate; and by this method, simple and easy as it is, the liberation of Africa will be certain and complete. At least, when the dealer in slaves shall be branded with the character of a pi rate, and when he shall be subjected to the same punishment, the Slave 'trade will soon become a crime as rare as piracy now is in the world. It is impossible to make any objection to this mea sure founded on reason or justice. It is only the ne cessary consequence of principles already established. Theft, murder, or violence committed on the sea, with intent to steal, are all acts of piracy; but does not the Slave Trade carry with it theft and murder? Even during the middle-passage, numerous murders are committed. In the most favourable cases, a heap of slaves perish miserably from the fatal effents of a cruel imprisonment. When then this trade shall be forbidden by law, it can no longer be looked upon except as a capital offence ; and when it shall be de clared an infringement of the general law of Nations, it will be, like other acts of piracy, a crime which every body has the right, and which it is every body's duty to repress. What must greatly contribute to the adoption of this phut is, that it is equally simple and proper.—There exist already in all Inaritime States laws against pirates, and the manner of trying them is a settled thing. There will be no need, therefore, of complicated regulations for putting in force the decree which all the Great Powers of Europe might make on this subject. The dealer in slaves bemg declared a pirate, the enemy of the human race, would be immediately ranged among the great cri minals, and his crime would receive its just punish ment—that of a robber and an assassin. The period proposed for putting that system into execution will allow to all persons engaged in this traffic a sufficient time to withdraw from tit. There will then remain no longer any excuse for those who may be taken acting an contravention of the general law of nations, founded on that of (ion and nature, the application of which it would only serve to proclaim. &apposing that this plan should be applied, it would still be necessary to exercise a vigilant superintend• ence over the manner in which the Slave Trade might be carried on during the period of its permission, and perhaps to extend that vigilance to some years after the termination of that period. Without thisprecau tion, it would be prosecuted with so much ardour from the present moment until the epoch fixed for its close, that probably the months of its remaining existence would be filled with a mass of evils more numerous and enormous than ever the world witnessed in an equal space of time. Would it not then be de sirable that the maritime Power; of Europe should equip small squadrons for the protection of the coast of Africa, winch, dispersed along the coast, would execute with rigour the existing prohibitory laws re lative to the Slave Trade? The extent of this traffic would then be repressed in as far as it might exist within the limits which have been traced ant ; and When it shall once have ceased, the frequent visits of these squadrons would render all attempts at its re newal hopeless. The personal risk to he run would then be of a nature too serious to render it probable that the number of persons necessary for fitting out and manning a slave ship would delibcrately expose themselves to it. Then might we hope to see the ships of war of different nations meeting on the ocean, not as enemies, but as friends; not to sacrifice the lives of men for false or frivolous causes, but to protect, en lighten, and give happiness to the human race. And now, illustrious and generous Sovereigns, per mit the author of this address humbly to remind you that the measures here submitted to you, wise and noble as they indubitably are in themselves, are par ticularly worthy of your elevated rank. In deigning to decree their adoption, you will fulfil in an eminent degree the duties which revelation makes the especial duty of the supreme authority in every State : you will become at once the terror of evil doers, and the Mi nisters of GOD for the welfare of the most oppressed and most miserable class of human beings. To you then, illustrious Sovereigns, humanity ad dresses herself, as the Xicegerents of that SUPREME Powna.whose continued' essence is benevolence, in the humble conviction that the g-ent interests of man kind have particular claims on ynn above all other Monarchs—on you; whom the Li of Prtovanxsen has so visibly protected, and for wh:aart the arm of
