DIME 'nut smutty/R.] • " The House of Braganza has lost Portngat.-it experienees the fate of all the Powers who have put their confidence in England. It is a very important success. for France to have deprived the English of the excellent ports of Lisbon - and. Oporto. A new portion of the ancient Continent will be purged of the English influence. " If the independence of the United States has =been useful to France, the new establishment of the Hmise of Braganza in another part of the new conti nent also prepares to her great advantages ; the new relations of the Court of Brazils with Portu gal ; the commercial connections which it will be obliged to form with Europe, will turn to the profit of France and her allies. " What do the Brazils produce ? Cotton and other articles similar to those which are received from the coloities. Other markets must be found for them, for England already overflows with colonial produce. These markets will be looked for upon the Conti nents they will be found in France for the supply of our manufactories and for our consumption. And these operations, in place of being effected by the in termediation of Lisbon, will be done with France, and by this means will ensure to us, besides so many advantages, the_ profits of a direct trade. " The English calculators see, with the unmet grief, these pew circumstances which deprive themii an auxiliary who is so usefully situated for them, and this recent catastrophe of the last ally which England could boast, is unanimously attributed to the awkward 1 and blind policy of the present administration. This policy had already been displayed in resolutions which were not less fatal. • " The blockade of the Elbe and the Weser de prived England of the trade which she carried on in the countries which were not yet occupied by French custom-house officers. The horrible expedition to Copenhagen next fol lowed to alienate from her, her most powerful conti. nental ally. This expedition drove her out of the Baltic—it shut the Sound against her. In fine, the last decrees of the English Cabinet, by which neu tral nations, allies, and even friends, are submitted to unjust and vexatious measures, will no doubt draw down new enemies upon her, and by the total inter ruption of her trade, do much more than France could have hoped for. 44 When the Emperor, while in Berlin, declared England in a state of blockade, he was far from ex-1 pecong that the Members of the English Cabinet would, from their own impulse, have taken steps which are of so real stn advantage to us ; would shut them selves out from all communication with the Continent; would put an end to all the neutral flags, which ase so necessary for their commerce.. The English trade thought to have a resource in the flags of Kniphausen, &c. &c. and these flags were interdicted by France.— She has at the same time, by the new decree of his Majesty, used the justest right of reprisals. " What will be the consequence of this situation, so new for the commercial interests ? Vessels from America can only arrive direct to France ; if they 'allow themselves to be visited by the English vessels, if they submit to the English taxation, they will be sub jected to confiscation. But the United States have too much energy, not to do all that is necessary for the protection of their fl a g. If, as it must be hoped, they succeed by negotiation to obtain the renunciation on the part of England, of her pretensions in this respect ; if they cease to be subjected to the absurd and tyrannical laws, which only tend to the alienation of their trade, England will have the humiliation of being obliged to revoke her inconsiderate measures. " Then the American trade, carried to the highest degree of prosperity, will abundantly furnish us with all kinds of raw materials, and the necessary articles wanted for our consumption, whilst they will take is exchange the produce of our manufactures which they are in want of : that justice granted by the Eng lish Government to the American flag will, at the same time, open a new market for the sale of English goods, and this crisis, so frightful for the trade of Great Britain, will be much enfeebled. i " If, on the other hand, America cannot obtain satisfaction, we have no doubt of the refusal produ cing a declaration of war ' • the crisis in which Eng land is will increase, and the time so much wished for, of a pacification upon equitable terms, will be so much the less distant. 44 If a Mezzie Termine be the present determina tion, and that the American Councils should think proper to submit to their vessels being visited, to the obligation of their touching in England, to the contri bution of the payment of 25 per cent. laid on the vessels which sail under a neutral flag, we can only pity the enlightened men who conduct the American affairs, that they have not been able to succeed in sur mounting these difficult circumstances. But then the American vessels having to fear, on the one hand, their being turaed aside OR their passage, and of hay ing a tribute of 25 per cent. to pay for entering into an alreadyglutted port, where they could find no sale for their cargoes, and on the other, of having the nu merous ports of the Continent shut against them, will like better to run some risk in adopting the only part which is at once useful and honourable. It would only be necessary to make use of vessels which should be able to defend themselves against brigs. By means of this precaution they would almost insure their safe arrival, because the English cannot have men of war every where. Thus, even in the supposition of Ame rica not being able to succeed in her negociations with England, France would still find herself sufficiently supplied with all the articles which she should stand in need of. " That country which has most consumers can al ways command the trade ; and France, enjoying her independence in its utmost extent, the first condition of any peace to take place, would be to establiih such custom house regulations, as that those who should bring cargoes should be obliged to take their returns in the produce of our soil and our industry. " If measures so useful were not in former times adopted, it must be attributed to the influence which the Cabinet of London had obtained over that of Ver sailles, whose weakness made them yield to the first menace of war. di Was it when Frau was obliged to destr( y Dan kirk, or submit to a law of a treaty of commerce shamefully unequal in its conditions, that she slionicl 'establish her navigation act, and contime her custom taut regulations in such a manner as- to attire all -1001mtages of her happy situation! In Franc e we' heal; /mar and coffee su ffi cient for three nip' consumption, and for nearly one yeir's consumption o( manufactured cotton goods. Were we even de prived of colonial produce, we should find an ample consumption in the present circumstances. If indus try were to take another direction—if we were to at tachourselves to the inanufacturesof articles forwhich. the Continent produces raw materials, we might thank England for having opened our eyes to our In terests, which would have made the conservers-pre fer the produce of the Continent, which would. have taught us to make the most of our silks, wool. and 4 . lax, these raw materials which belong to our. own and which art sufficient for el our wants—stich a revolution in our usages would be- a trisis which would be lonfeby England, and which Would have a most fortunate influence upon - the prosperity of the Continent. 44 There is a Providence which guides France , whilst in the British Councils there is 'nothing . 'to be - Me with but a spirit of precipitancy and ffiiorder; :22 which is always the forerunner of the' fall 'of " Europe will always be Europe, even when its husbandmen and women wear less cotton, and when they are dressed in linen and woollen stu ffs, when the interior trade continues open for all nation's, when, in fine, when that by sea will be totally annihilated. But i tifland will no longer be England, wheelher.colo ce, when the produce of her manufactures and re o r t 'lmense trade are reduced' to nothing. It in 47 with justice be said then, that the last measures which have been taken by England, without being of any essential prejudice to the Continent, are of the most injurious tendency to England. 44 It may be asked, what genius inspires the Cabi net of London ? Is it not that of Chatham ? Is k not that of hatred, and of those blind passions which in their delirium distinguish neither good nor evil ? But let us hope, that a spirit of order and of calculation, which has carried so high the trade and the arms of England, will at last get the better of this vertigo— but let us hope at least, should she exhibit no symp toms of return to sound ideas, an end will be put to this horrible rapine by force. 64 But, in case the dispute should be undecided for many years to come, the least misfortune that would be the consequence of it to England, would be her finding Europe no longer accustomed to the goods of her manufacture, and all nations, united in a common interest, in order to encourage the consumption of the articles of which the raw materials are not subjected to the caprice of an unreasonable Government, and to the decisions of the Cabinet of London. Posterity, upon reading the accounts of the last six months' trans actions in England, will ask whether the countrywas then governed by the enemies, or most enthusiastic partisans of France. " The Emperor Napoleon, in devising what could happen most advantageous to France, could not have hit upon any thing more so, than the expedition of Copenhagen, and the destru ctive measures to all neu tral trade. 0. ta ught • " Upon examining their last decrees, we cannot help thinking, that their authors are so many work men from Lyons who have imbibed a spirit of fana ticism in their clubs, and who burn in one day all the looms which gave them bread, and enriched their country. " The Government of England does not literally break in pieces the looms of the country--but it ren ders them inactive—it destroys the sluices of the im mense canal by which the goods with which the mar kets are glutted might be sent—it dries up their sources. 'These contrivances are now more fatal for England than a sand bank would be which should all of a sudden shut up the entrance of the Thames. gg The Sans Culottes of Lyons were led on by the most silly and ungoverned passions—the Oligarchs of London appear to obey a like impulse; extremes meet, and the same causes, in different places and in diffe rent individuals, produce the same effects."
