" Many Itinch journal have afforded, that the Ojai of the &feast . lint on Toefday len to the Se• nate, was to communicate an Imperial decree, prohi biting all correfpondence with the Britith iflands, and the confifcation of Briti& property, public and private, which might be found in Frame, or on any oldie territory occupied by the French troops. " We expert the publication of the documents and Gfficiil pieces, which may throw more light upon, and give more importance to this meafure.— As we run a ague of erring as to the details; until we have the whole before us, we !bell only fubmit the following refleeions, fuggeßed to us by the firfl idea which this news prelents, with caution and difirutl. This decree, brought shoot by extraordinary eircumflancm—by an exaggerated abufe of the new maritime legillation adopted by England, cannot be confidered but as a reptilel ezercifed by an enemy whole patience and generofity England has at length exhaufled. This decree Teems to outrage the ideas generally received, in which one is not accufloined to hear filch language from the mouth of the Conqueror of Aufterliti llnd . Jena s but the opinions hitherto adopted refpernhig the maritime code, and the ap plication that England has made of them, were falfe in themfelves i foreign to the law of nations, con trary to humanity, and repugnant to the prefent ci vilization of Europe. " Continental wars, in the infancy of fociety, and during the invefions of the barbarians, were ezatily what the maritime wars cre at prefent with refpea to civilifed nations. " Ooe may feel anorrifbment, but Rill ibis Is no thieg beyond firia truth—in thefe ferocious wars, the property and the perfons of the vanquifherl palled levet to the conqueror—individual was never dillin rithed from public property. Force was . the only aw acltiowledged. We read the hißory of 'bete calamities with horror. and yet we can Rill look upon limes teeth trar.qoillity in the preterit mat iiiyfre wars. The Eugllth pillage individuals of their property with *spurn., t they treat their perfons as naves—they even pay no regard to newish. ThoLegiflation of die laiglins 1 , . in every terpern, the legiflat ion of pi rates or barbarians. " If every power polkaed the means of refinance neatly equal.they would foon feel the meellity of recurring to principles left, defirullive of all fociety, o f all veapneal eqrsmerce, of all common indunry. They would coon diningurfh, as they have done in the Continental- war, between the perfon of the na tion, and public and private property. But England moll conveniently' oppofes every developement of fo:ial ideas, es in this relpell the Pets up an exchifive fytlem of morals and laws for herfelf alone. En tirely Reed aloe one objed, fubjeding die greaten interefts of 4repe to commercial avidity, the hes cxhaulled their fubflance, devoured their . capitals, and, Rriuliy (peaking, has conquered the indultry of the Continent. " We have leveret limes thrown nut fame hefty ideas relative to this g. adual ufurpation. This would form the matter rather .1 a volume, than article in a ncwlpaper. In re.umiag our ideas upon this, cubjeft, wa may oblerve the •dvantap England has bad over all the nations on the Continent. She has never had but one °Nett, which was to proceed with a firm and uninterrupted progrtfs. Other States have been diltrafted with the aoimety the has excited . among them relative to intrigues and foreign Ince refts. France alone, being in a fituatisn to pre• vent the ufurpation of commerce, and able to under rate the caufe with fuccefs, has been the particu lar objeft of her enmity and hatred. The French marine has only Bourithed at intervals, hecaufe at the moment when it might have freed Europe from the maritime yoke of England, the latter always called forth enemies to ward off its blows.—Every maritime power has been a !pedal object of attack with the Englith ; but the hatred the bore eo France has furvived the ruin of all the reit which the has defiroyed. 4. Why have Aufiria, Ruffia, and Nutria been fo often in alliance with England ? It is becaufe AuAria is not a maritime power. Daring the fisort interval when Jofeph 11. witted to have at marine, be excited the ill will ofthiEnglith. ~ As to Pruffia, England taw Frederick I. and his fuceeffors pars from the Margraviate of Brandenburg to a kingdom of the firA order, without regret, be canfe it would difreember the Hans Towns. whole concurrence and maritime confederation might isave been dangerous to her. u Refpcaing Ruffin, which advances with the pace of a giant, and which already weighs fo heavy upon the Weetern and Southern States of Europe, Eng. land has not been alarmed ; the (huts her eyes upon remote dangers and fooeOffive ulurpations. She fa vours the fyllem which defrays the equilibrium of Europe, in hopes of gaining a powerful ally in the North—a kind of bugbear to (Tooth her rivals ; and, above all, with the hope of having a treaty of corn. *scree, a hope completely realifed. She is not oon tented with carrying Ruffian merchandize—the her felf has manufeetured•articl es of the firit occeffity out of them-; and thus, far fifty years pall, received the benefits of freights, broketags, and iodultry. " For this fhameful ccmfideration, England has contented to the redudlion of Sweden and Denmark. Perhaps the was charmed with the idea that the two Powers, who commanded the important palthge of the Sound, (hould be weakened in loch a manner , as never to be able to difpute it. Eisfides, the has fan with pleafore tome ;famed neutral cities, under des name of free and Imperial cities with Out protealow, and which the has looked upon as her depots, and ea' offices for her clerks. " But the moment has arrived to flop the couith of thefe maritime ufarpstions. The efforts magenta of to defiroy France have a► length tended to being her into contaft with her enemy. •, The afcendancy the has gained on the Contineat will fufpend its quarrels, and bring back the midden' to a point more important in refpett to the pro/pe rky ol mations, than the acqoifition of Come provinces, grid the advantage they may offer to the pride of their Sovereign. " France, compelled to contend with different anns, ought not, however, to abandon the field of battle : the traveller whom robbers may attack with pifiols, may defend hirnfelf with the (word. The 'reach Government, in bacithing the;Englith into their own i(land, makes ofe of the right they have given her. She will refume the ancient code, the an cient privileges of the Conqueror, till England than adopt a maritime -regulation conformable to the new code of war between civilized nations." MADRID, NOV. sr. Letters fromGr evade mention a fecond earthquake, but do not contain any details of the firll, which gives us reafon to hope that the accidents have not been fo fatal as we have been taught to expect. They (peak much of a journey which the King intends to make to Valentia, a country to which he is extremely partial. NAPLES, NOV.i.s. They write from Capri that the north winds have done much damage there. Eight veffels were lately driven on Chore, and among others a polacre, laden with proviGons from Palermo ; and a (mall armed veffel, employed as a cruizer upon the co.+ Capri is (bort of provifions. It often happens thhe they do net know where to get (applies for the garrifon,cons poled of 800 men, Calabrians and Sicilians, and who do not conceal their difcontent. The following are the particulars of the lad pro ceedings on the :or& of Fra Diavolo, the wretched agent of the Court of Palermo and Sir Sidney Smith: .• For (even' days only a fraall party of the ma lefallors attached to his fortunes remained with him, with whom he endeavoured to reach fozne of tbeEag Hs (hips. From the mountains of Sarno he defcen ded to Callellamare. Not being able to efcape from that quarter, he proceeded to Salerno, and followed the'coaft, from whence, Come days before, a large boar, probably intended to receive him, was difita• vered. Being purfwed by the provincial guard 41( Monte Camino, he took fhelter in the mountains of Olivaro and Campagna. Vito Adeliazi, bis Lieute nant, .was killed in the houfe of a peafant near that towntby two national guards, who wounded another of his companions. 44 On the zsoh ult. S. Belardi, of Palermo, ano ther officer of Fra Diavnlo's troop, was met by a patrnle of the national guards, and WA' not put to death, in confequence ofhis promiflog to difoover to them a hidden treafure. He then conduced them to a myrtle grove, about a mile off where they found a great banner, richly embroidered by the hands of (teen Caroline and her daughters, which Fra Diavula had• received from Sir Sid ney Smith, as the dandard of general infurreaion and mafracse. Near it another Englifh flandard was found, which Belardi declared bad been given to Jo feph Pezza, the younger brother of FraDrav clo.— This wretch having fuceeffively loft all his compa nions, fled with a tingle brigand from the neighhoar. hood of Campagna, and paffed near Eboli, through the midfl of a French detachment, without being kaolin by them. He was wounded, barefooted, in rags, and walked with difficulty. He went to the ' village of Baronife, near San Severino, to buy w pair of (hoes.. The apothecary, who was a corporal in the town guard, feting an unknown perion in (tech a (tate, began to ftifpeft him, and afked him who he was ? His anfwer was, .1 that he was a Ca. labrian who was waiting for his companions. The apothecary invited him to hit houfe, where he was immediately arreded and condn'ted to Salerno. He was there identifl:d by a ftrjeant in the Ntefogian ithatiy." PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, WEDNESDAY, DEC.I7.
