THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 19, 1830. PRICE 7u. ROYALTY IN MISFORTUNE. " To point a moral or adorn a tale." When Marshal Boufflers urged upon King William Ili. the claim of the widow of James 11. to the dower of 50,0001. settled upon her by Parliament prior to the Revolution, the King acknowledged . the claim to be just, and promised to exert himself to see it paid.— Notwithstanding this Royal assurance, neither the Queen, nor any of the family, ever received a farthing of the money. When Charles Edward, commonly called the Pretender, fell into poverty, application was made to the British Ministry for a portion of the grant, but without success. Louis XIV. was then requested to use his influence for that purpose; but he said, " It is an unfor. tunate family, of whom Ido not wish to hear any thing." Little did the Grande Dlonarque think then that his own fate, and that of his house, would soon resemble that of the unfortunate Stuarts. REPORT from the SELECT COMMITTEE OM the AFFAIRS of the EAST INDIA COMPANY. ANECDOTE OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION. A gentleman who has recently retutned from Paris, and who was there during the great conflict, has related an incident which, though trifling in itself, is characteristic of the state of mind of the labouring classes of the French capital. In the heat of battle on the Wedneaday, two men, who appeared to be of the very lowest class, came into the restaurateur's where our informant happened to be, and begged something to quench their extreme thirst. They had each swords in their hands, and the weapons were bloody. There was wine upon the table, and they were solicited to partake of it. They each, however, filled with water the glasses handed to them, and added only so much wine to the water as was sufficient to colour and flavour it. They returned thanks for this refreshment,: declined taking any other, and returned to the battle. Their calmness and temperate conduct were admirable. In general men of the same class in other countries would have sought for, and drank with avidity, any ardent spirits as a means of sustaining their excitement. These men were evidently afraid of taking any wine unmixed, lest it might disturb the cleanest; of perception, which enabled them to act most efficiently. NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE. The history of this interesting fragment is as follows; and we leave our readers to form their own judgment as to its authenticity. It appeared in a work which was immediately suppressed in France ; and since that period no trace of it has been discoverable; so that this MS. copied horn it at the time, has very nearly the value of an original. It purports to be part of a letter written by Buonaparte at the period of the execution of Louis XVI. and must be perused with peculiar feelings at this eventful moment : I , I learnt the next day that the Advocate Target had:refused his professional aid to his Sovereign. This was, in the strongest acceptation of the term, to erase his name horn the records of immortality ! What were the arguments of his cowardly pru dence ? I shall net save his life, whilst 1 may risk my Own.' Malesherbes, Trouchet, Deane, faithful and devoted subjects (whom I could not imitate, but whom, if I were a Monarch, I would place at my right hand), united to defend, by their zealous exertions, the descendant of St. Louis. Should they survive this coura geous act of fidelity, I will never pass them without baring my head. Detained by business at Versailles, I only returned to Paris on the 16th of January. I bad consequently lost three or four scenes of this ambitious Tragedy, but on the 18th, I at. tended the National Convention. Ah ! my friend ! whatever these revolutionary maniacs may say, a Monarch is not merely a man his head will fall, it is true, with that of the shepherd, but he who commands the murder will shudder at his own temerity ; and were he not compelled by the force of his secret motives, the sentence would expire on his lips ere its utterance. I gazed eagerly on the Intrepid mortals who were about to dare to pronounce on the fate of their virtuous Sovereign. 1 studied their looks—scrutinized their very hearts. It was by the excess, the importance of their trespass, they were supported, whilst inwardly awed by the rank of their vic tim : could they have ventured to retract, the Pri- had been saved But unfortunately they had said, If his bead does not fall to-day, ours must soon submit to the stroke of the executioner. This was the predominant ides that dictated their votes. No pen could with justice describe the situation of the people in the galleries. Silent, gloomy, breathless, their looks were alternately directed towards the accused, his advocate, and his judge. Circumstance as strange as horrible, d'Orleans' vote was--Death ! The shock of electricity would have been less visibly felt : the Assembly rose with one spon taneous start of horror, and the hall reverberated the murmur of similar and responsive feeling s one man alone, immovable as • rock, kept his seat—it was I I I ventured to inquire of myself the cause of this indifference ; I found it in ambition—only such a sen timent could reconcile the conduct of the Duke of Orleans ; to me. therefore it was natural : he sought a throne to which he had no title, and such acquisitions arena to be made without forfeiting the right to virtuous and general estimation. " I shall now, my friend, become concise: I do not like the unfolding of funeral crape. The King was condemned to death ! and if the 21st of January did not for ever affix an odium on the French character, at least it added a glorious name to the list of martyrs ! What a town was Paris on this awful day ! The popu lation appeared in a state of stupefaction : it seemed that the people assembled only to exchange gloomy looks, and to fly from each other without speaking. The streets were deserted, and houses and palaces wore the appearance of tombs. The air even seemed to I smell of the executioner. To be brief, the descendant of St. Louis was lead to death, through files of mournful automata, but lately his subjects. If any one be near you, my friend, when you read this dispatch (even if it were your father), conceal from him what follows—it is a stain on the stuff of which my character is made. That Napoleon Buonaparte should be sensibly affected at the destruction of a hu man being, and constrained to keep his bed from the consequences of this impression, is a fact scarcely to be believed, though true, and one which I cannot avow without blushing with contempt for myself. Yes, I experienced a feeling which, however admirable in another, was disgraceful to one who had disavowed all the weakness of the human heart. The night preceding the 21st of January, I had not closed my eyes ; yet I was unable to account to myself for the cause of my unusual agitation. I rose early, and eagerly ran wherever the crowd was assembling. I wondered at, or rather I despised, the passive imbecility of forty thousand National Guards, of whom nine-tenths were only mechanically the agents of the executioner. At the Porte St. Denis I met Santerre; he was followed by a numerous staff. I should have liked to have cut off his ears; I spit at him, not being able to do more. In my opinion, his post had been better filled by the Duke d'Orleans ; his object was a crown ; and we all know that such a motive overbalances many considerations. Pro ceeding along the Boulevards, I reached the Place de Revolution. I was ignorant of the invention of a guillotine ; a cold perpiration crept over me. A stranger, who stood near me, attributed my agitation and paleness to a peculiar interest in the King of France. Be of better cheer,' said he, he will not perish; the Convention is only desirous of proving its power, and he will meet his pardon at the foot of the scaffold.' If that be so,' replied I,' the gentle men conventionalists are not themselves farfrom their fall, and never would culprits more richly deserve their fate. He who attacks a lion, and would avoid being destroyed by him, should not wound, but I throw him dead upon the spot.' A low and confused noise was heard —it was the Royal victim ! I hurried forward, elbowing and elbowed; I approached as far as I could—all my efforts to get near were vain; the scaffold was hid from me by an armed fares. The rolling of drums suddenly interrupted the mournful silence of the assembled multitude. It is the signal of his release,' said the stranger. And it will rebound on his murderers,' I in such a case, half a crime is a weakness.' A momentary sileenee ensued. Suddenly something fall heavily on the scaffold; the noise struck at my heart. I inquired the came of a gendarme. 'lt Is the falling of the an,' he replied. "The King is not then saved? he is dad, he is dead I' 1 became insensible for seen minutes, and, without knowing by wham, I bed been taken by the crowd. I found myself on the Quai des nestles; there I movered BOUM degree of recollection, but I could utter no word except ' He Is dead,' In a state of distraction I reached home, bat at least m hour elapsed befoul had pufsedy regained my smug TRADE or THE AMERICANS AND OF OTHER roitticNtits WITH CHINA. The Russians are said to be excluded from Canton in consequence of the privileges they enjoy of trading with China overland. Of the other European nations, those which have been mentioned as conti nuing to resort to Canton are, the French, the Dutch, the Swedes and Danes, and the Austrians ; but the trade of all these is compa ratively trifling. The most important of them is the Dutch trade, which used to be conducted by a company with exclusive privileges, but is now thrown open. There is, however, a Netherlands Association, of modern forma tion, by which the Dutch China trade is principally conducted, and which appears to have been established with the hope of promoting the sale in China of Belgian manufactures. In that object the Ne therlands Association failed ; and its returns in tea have caused • loss, it is said, of 25 per cent. on the capital employed. This As sedation is restricted from exporting B • it manufactures to China. Although the Dutch trade (u before observed) is principally carried on through the Netherlands Association, no such restrictions as to British manufactures is imposed upon Dutch private traders, who, however, in consequence of heavy losses, occasioned by competition with the Americans, are stated to have in a great measure aban doned the trade since 11125. This trade of the Dutch has been carried on in ships of front 400 to 500 tons, and is conducted by resident agents in China, where there are two supercargoes and a consul. It does not appear that of late years the Dutch have experienced any difficulties in the trans action of business at Canton. The Americans used to conduct an extensive carrying trade Prom China toHolland and other parts; but this has considerably fallen off, owing to the Dutch and other nations importing direct fur their own use. It has been stated, however, that the Americans can still com. pcte with the Dutch in their own market. The aggregate of the American trade with China has increased since 1814 ; but latterly there has been a falling off: Their exports consist principally of dollars, which, even since they began to take British manufactures to Canton, have formed two-thirds of the total exported. The imports into America from China are chiefly teas aid manufactured silks. The latter article is said to yield the best return, though that has not always been the case. Their tea trade was formerly very profitable; but, in consequence of ovcrtrading, encouraged by a system adopted in the United States of giving to the importers of tea a year's credit for the duties, it sub sequently became a losing one. The American trade with China seems also to have suffered from the establishment (by authority of the Act of the b Geo. IV. cap 88) of the trade of the Company from China to Canada, which settlement was previously sup. plied, in a great measure, with tea smuggled from the United States. That part of the American trade which relates to India and China, is stated not to labour under greater depression than any other trade of the United States ; and opinions have been expressed, that if conducted upon correct principles, and brought within proper limits, the American trade with China might still be profitable. The Americana are said to navigate their ships at a less expense, not only than the Company, but than British merchants in general. Some of the American vessels are chartered by various persons in shares, each of whom may and often does send a supercargo ; but this is not done in all cues. Instances have been mentioned of the transactions of a voyage having been wholly, and without difficulty, managed in China by the commander of the ship ; but the more fre. quent practice is to employ a resident agent, it being thought that the business Is better arranged with the Chinese by persons of established confidence than by strangers. The American Consul, at Canton, acts as agent for those who choose to employ him ; and there are several American merchants who reside in China. The Americans are well treated in Chins. Their trade is said to be popular there in consequence of the large importation of dollars ; and it has been interrupted only once since 1814. The cause of the interruption was an accidental homicide of a Chinese by an Italian seaman of an American ship. lie was given up to the local autho. titles : by their order he was put to death, and then the trade i was resumed. EFFECTS EXPECTED FROM THE AROLITION or THE COM. PANT'S EXCLUSIVE PRIVILEGE. . _ . The opening of the trade between Great Britain and China would not, it is thought, cause any alteration in the policy of the Chinese Government towards foreigners, unless the revenue should fall off from an increase of smuggling by free traders, or unless there should be from private disputes more frequent collisions between Europeans and Chinese. In either of these contingencies, apprehensions are entertained that the trade might be entirely interdicted. But, on the other hand, it is said that such a fatal result would be averted either by the sense which the Chinese Government entertains of the value of the trade, or by the influence of the population of Canton, and of the tea districts, which are deeply interested in its continu ance. If the trade were interdicted, tea, it is thought, might be brought to Sincapore, and other places accessible to the British tra ders, in Chinese junks ; but such a commerce is stated to be con trary at present to the laws of China ; and much doubt is felt, whe ther, by the mesas of such insecure vessels as the junks are repre. sensed to be, tea could be obtained in sufficient quantities for the English market. it is said that the interest of the Hong merchants, in a pecuniary point of view, would be promoted by an open trade, as an increase in the number of the purchasers of tea would afford an opportunity for commanding high prices. In spite, however, of such expected advantage, the Hong merchants, from an apprehension of increased risk and responsibility, are represented to be against any change. On the other hand, it is stated that the Americans and other fo reigners, dealing freely as private traders, have not experienced any combination against them on the part of the Hong merchants. In order to derive advantage from a free trade between Great Britain and China, it would be necessary, as some think, that the monopoly of the Hong merchants should cease, and that a commer cial treaty, upon mutually liberal principles, should be formed be. tween the two countries. It is, however, apprehended that the Chinese would not be induced to enter into such a treaty by any other than coercive means, and these it is fancied might be easily and successfully used. Many oil the witnesses are strongly impressed with the belief, that a very large increase in the consumption of British manufactures would be the consequence of opening the trade. Private merchants, they say, can push a commerce much better than a company; and new wants and desires would be created by the never.ceasing swiss of individual enterprise and speculation. These witnesses refer not only to the fact of the Americans having of late made exports of British manufactures to China, but they also refer to the result of opening the trade with India, followed, as that measure unques tionably was, by an immense increase in the exports from this country. In opposition to these views, it is said that the small proportion of the American exports of British manufactures, relatively with bullion, coupled with the fact that the officers of the Company's ships, having no freight to pay, have not increased their exports, ought to be considered as proof that the consumption has not, as yet, been found susceptible of any material augmentation. It is further stated, that a formidable obstacle to the growth of a profitable ex port trade from Great Britain to China, arises from the obligation under which India is placed of annually effecting a large remit tance to England, and which remittance is now advantageously made by the Company through the medium of Chinese produce. It is likewise observed, that the extended use of British manufactures in India has been promoted by fiscal regulations, which the British Government had the power there to make, but which it could not effect in China. With respect to the price of tea, it is thought that the first effect of an increased demand in China, consequent upon the opening of the trade, would be materially to raise the price there ; though in deed this effect (unless the Hong should he enabled to dictate prices) might be expected gradually to subside. It is said that the charges of bringing the tea to England ami selling it, would be much less in a free trade than they are at pre sent, and therefore that tea would be afforded to the consumer at a lower rate. In answer to this it is temarked, that most of the Com. pany's charges are controlled by law; that these might be reduced if the law were altered; and that what the Company get in shape ol' arz fit is necessary, with the obligatiorts imposed upon them, to en able them to administer the government 6? India.' According to this view, whatever the consumer of tea might gain by a rientkill of the rate of profit to the importer, would either be at a sacrifice to India, not now in a situation to bear it, or must be made up by the people of England; besides whit% it has been obseeved; 'thee, the ability of the private traders to furnish tea cheaper than the Com. tff , ~'",,' . l'i r,;" l o* , • ilt-..- - It s _---,---- r Eate rs 4,v b 0: 11113"1412) lb .1:111)IcATE i - r t -.li, _ , • ' ' A any would depend upon the effect which an open trade mi•tht have open prices at Canton. One great advantage expected to result from an open trade with China, is the facility which it would give to private merchants to effect returns from India, in which great difficulty is row cape. rienced. It is said that the Company partake largely of this incon venience, and that owing to the pressure of the demand for the Government remiLtances, it has become necessary to make a China trade a principal chanrel of effecting them. Deprived of this chan nel, India would be obliged to remit through the private trade, by which (~could remittances to so large an amount be practicable), a lass wnu'd be sustained equal to the difference between the rupee valued at the board's rates, and at the current exchange. If the trade were opened, the Company would still possess the power of trading with China; and it is thought by some that their capital and influence might enable them to trade more sueeessfkklly than private merchants. But it is said that this competition might be mutually injurious, without the country's being benefited by tt:i extension of her commerce; and that the Company's prefits, if they had competitors, would be so reduced as to prevent them from. on. oistering to the financial aid of the Indian territory. Your Conoiilttee have thus endeavoured to gi%e a fair and be. partial summary of the evidence on the China trade which has been brought before them. Whether this object shall have been faithfully and satisfactorily effected will appear to the house, by a careful perusal aittl examina tion of the whole evidence Itaelf ; but it will not fail to Be borne in mind,that in the midst of such multifari , :tia and conflicting statement. as that evidence contains, and restrained as your committee ha% • been (both by what has been expre•srd in the luniaf, and by dui,' .own sense of what, at the present period. would be prudent or just) to a plain unbiassed narrative of their praetdiigs, i. has not hem in the power of your committee to offer such obsertiations, nria as enter upon such discrimination of the evidence, as might be a guide to the Louse in the decisions hereafter to be made. Your committee have, on the contrary, done their utmost to guard against the appearance of a leaning on the one side or the o.hcr. Their observations, your comadttee have felt, ought trot, by au l inference of their own, to convey opinions which may have bee:, taken up; but, In the ClCectivion of the important duty commiued to their charge, while from necessily some valuable information may be left unnoticed, they have studicualy endeavoured, by classitiea tion and arrangement, to bring the n.ost material parts of the evi. deny into view, and thus to facilitate to the house the 'mans of acquiring for itself an accurate knowledge of its real tendency and result.
