Oar Readers hate already been informed of the application made to the Diet of Frankfort, on the part of the Hanseatic Towns, tweeting the outrages committed on the Trade of Germany by the Barbary Pirates; and that a Commitee bad been appointed by the Ditt to consider and report, what measures ought to be adopted. This Committee, which con sists of the Ambass.dors of Prussia, Holland, Den mark, Oldritburgh, and the Hanseatic Cities, lost no time in their del►berations, and in the fortieth Sitting of the Diet gave in their Report, of which the fol lowing .s a c?rrect abstract : " That nothing but thetas great negligence of some European Maritime Powers could bave given the pirates the anbeard•of boldness to penetrate into the Channel and the North Sea; that Lugland, indeed, had not buffered the Insolent proceedings com mitted close to its abuts, but that this was nor buSeent, unless similar nteasures were eat/peed also by France, Spain, and Par. tags,. That in order to remedy this evil completely, all the European Maritime Powers must combine, and jointly desists the principle, that the Barbary cruisers, if found out of the Mediterranean, shall be considered and treated as pirates ln order to effect this, the Committee propose that Austria and Prussia, as the most important members of the Confederation, and as European Powers who have so largely contributed to the establishment of peace on the Continent of Europe, should teem di:melees to induce Eogland to declare for the establishment of the above principle. " The same two Powers should also use their mediation with Ru.sia, France, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, and the Netherlands, to suppoet this application to England; and, by ►eeping frigates oa the coasts, contribute also on their part to remedy the evil. '1 bat the same request be mad* besides to the Kings of Den mark, 'hoover and the Netherlands, as member. of the Confe deration The complete success of the whole affair depends, in the °pluton of the Committee, principally upon the powerful cu operadon of England." Such is the plan proposed—and a piteous plan it is. Let us scpar.ete theextraneous verbiage, and present the juice in a concentrated form— " It is very impudent, and, to his traders ex the Nerd seas, vary iactiovenient that pirates •hotdd incommode ski, cossams, *lhert kw the pirates should be compelled to carry on their di-preda tions In some other quarter. If thes4 Grad loess can be induced to confine their depredatlens to Ms Mediterremeass, the Northern Derma rill tease to complain of " the unheard of boldness'' of the pirates. _ " That those Powers, which have ships, and money sufficient to nututain them, MUST combine, to punish as pirates all Bar bary cruisers found on the coons of those States who have neither ships of war nor money —trooittal these States art not in at Mai. terrain". " That every kind of influence should be used to induce Eng land to join this conabinstion—And why ? because the general interests of a free and unrestrained commeMe require the anni hilation of such a nest of maritime robbers ? No.—Because the commerce of England in particular, is assailed and injured by them? No such thing. But because, tutilawd the iceterld co operation f Ekilansl thew German enemies of British commerce tannins carry on thiir petty system of exclusion, on account of of Ito interference of these Barbary traders:* Such is the resuk of an undisguised analysis of this document ; and we sincerely hope that it will lead to the, recognition of something like equitable principles for the future conducting of the Trade of Europe, It icily not be denied that the Barbary States have as good a right to carry on their trade as the Ger- Stuns. Every State carries on that kind of trade which best suits it—that is, that which it has the power to carry on t and, as hitherto conducted, in Arne h oo zi s to the commerce of every other State. It cannot be denied that they often mistake their true interests, and adopt systems of commerce which, in stead of being the best, are the worst that could pos. sibly be devised for their own prosperity; but they :Away' fancy that they aro pursuing the paths of sound policy in forcing, as far as they have the means, that trade for which they have a predilection —ln what then lies the difference between the Gee- Moan and Barharian policy respecting commerce ? Let this question be only examined without pre judice, and it will Le seen that the policy of both is the same: they only differ in the swans developed for enforcing their respective designs. All employ suc h power as they possess, to injure the Trade of ether States.. 'Those who have no ships employ their power co land, .and enact laws to prevent the pro ducts of Other countries from passing their respective 'frontiers. What is this but a spirit of direct hostility ? ls the loss to the tradcr less who has his property seized upon land, than to him who has it taken 110113 Jim at us While the present stupid system of restricted com merce is generally persisted in, it is impossible, in the nature 4,1 things, that an appeal to the priaiiples of abstract justice, on he occurrence of certain contin - gancks can be listened te.for justic: is excludmi f by the metal consent, from every thing that respects the commerce of Nations, however its dictates may be regarded in the claims of the respective subjects of each against those of every other, as deleted by their respedive laws. In fact they have, no system, but that of feeder trade by timer ; each using that power within its reach. Where this fails they have no right to demand or expect that the power of other States shall be beneficially exerted is their behalf— nor can this power be lent to any one without an act of injsstice to the one against which, it may be directed. The case would be otherwise were free and unrestrained commerce established among all nations of the earth; for this would cement the whole into one family, and any attack on the property of one would be a direct injury to evert other member of the great community. What interest can this country have in protecting a rival eetameres ? While the system of rivalry is permitted to continue, every thing that can injure the trade of your rival must benefit your own com merce. The Germans may imagine that they can cajole our Ministers to quixotise for the glory of de. !jeering the commerce, as they have the soil. of Eu rope from foreign assault; but they will probably find themselves mistaken. Here we have a right to demand a gad pro quo. Arm and fit out and main tain ships for the protection of a commerce which seeks the destruction of British industry I The idea savours of downright insanity.—But let us not be misunderstood. Do we approve of the injuries inflicted on com merce of any kind by the pirates of Barbary ? No : we think them almost as bad as the avowed system of hostility declared by different German States against the Commerce and Industry of that King dom to which they owe their present existence as independent Powers. As to the Barbary States, we have oftener than once stated our opinion, that their existence is a disgrace to kurope. But shall England therefore set about sweeping this gutter, while the Augean stable shall continue to accumulate, .to our prejudice. the filth of anti•commercial barbarism ? Let the Diet of Frankfort. instead of cutting out la bours for others, set in earnest about the digesting of a proper commercial Code fit for civilised men ! Let them study political economy with a sincere desire to discover its dictates, an.► they will find that the true way to produce and to obtain the greatest possible returns for the efforts of human labour and intellect, is to remove entirely all restraints on the free circulation of the products of industry, not merely in the Northern Seas, but in every Sea ;—aot merely by sea, but also by land; not in one country. but over the surface of the whole earth. Let such a system be recommended for adoption ; and we may venture to assure them that England will not be backward to lend every aid in her power.—But even in this case they might have the consideration at least to offer to bear their own quota of the Alum. The Paris Papers of Monday and Tuesday arrived this morning. The Duchess of BARRY was on Sunday morning safely delivered of a Princess. who only lived two 'days. The Royal Family has been plunged by this disappointment of their hopes into the greatest afflic tion. The Duchess, kis added, is in a fair way of recovery. The celebrated Madame de STAEL, we are sorry to announce, has fallen a victim to the unfortunate malady which has long given so much inquietude to her numerous friends. She was in her 53d year. The literary glory of France has thus been deprived of one of its brightest ornaments. The famous BILLAUD DE VARENXIS, having escaped from the Colony of Cayenne, to which he was exiled, has gone to St. Domingo, where he is new employed by President birtox in editing a Journal, entitleJ, Historical and Politics/ Annals of Heti; The Council of State has had several Meetings under the Presidency of the Duke de Itteuxuro, on the subject of the formation of Municipal and Gene ral Councils. The harvest has now become general throughout France, and the crops of all kinds are remarkable not more for their abundance, than for their excellent quality. At Vienna, the price of corn has bad, as in France, a most extraordinary tall. The measure cf rye, which a month ago was at 34 Exilic is now at 13. French Funds, 14th Ju1y,,66 fr. 10 cents. We have just received Washington Papers - to the )9th, and Philadelphia to the 21st of June. The following are extracts : " WASHINGTON, JUNE IS. " The Spanish and Portuguese Ministers are both at present at Philadelphia, where also resides the Da nish Minister. The British and French Ministers re main at their residences in this city. 44 The Diplomatic Agent of the Republican Go vernment of Pernambuco, M. Da Cruz, arrived at the seat of Government on Saturday last, and it is believed will leave it for the present Mil morning. We have not hearJ what has been his reception here, but presume, that under the present cites:lnstances of his country he could not be recognized in his official character, consistcn►ly with those principles by which our Government has heretolore regulated its conduct in this respect." FROM THE SAME PAPER. " By the Treaty of Ghent it is prolrided, that in the evert of a 4,liff‘tence of o r i:lion lipon the at jtcts under, the consideration of the Cormissiocers, bis Britannic Majesty and the Government of the United States agree to refer the difficulty to some friendly Sovereign or State, those to be named for the pur• pose, and in consequence of which expectation all the arguments are delivered in writing. According to the construction of the British Agent, the boarding line would cut off part of the river St. John's, and about two millions of acres of land from the district of Main." " PIiiI,ADELPHIA, JUNE 21. al By the schooner Alciope, Captain Wells, which arrived here yesterday in seven days from Matanzas' we learn that, on the 3d instant a Hermaphrodite brig, commanded by Captain Belshew, under Mata gcrdia colours, captured a Spanish 20 gun ship from the gold coast, with four hundred and seventy slaves. —The ship was afterwards ransomed at the price of 10,000 dollars. The same brig had recently cap tured a new Spanish schooner, from Matanzas, with a cargo of sugar and coffee. A Spanish vessel, from Havannah, with the Bishop of Havanna!), and the Vice. Roy of Mexico on board, was also lately cap tured by two of the Patriot privateers." NAI - AL INTELLIGENCE. FAST INDIA SiItPPINO.

DERBY, JULY 16. Friday afternoon, about two o'clock, this neigh. bourhood was visited by the awful, but happily very rare phzaomenon of a tornado. It adv.inced from the south-west, and first came in contact with the earth near the Depot, about three•quatters of a mile from Derby, where it was most violent. It there tore up a finsi ash tree by the roots, several large branches of which were carried to a considerable dis tance ; and in its progress it took up a quantity of new hay from the grounds of E. S.,Si nem., Esq. (not less than half a ton) which was citified to an immense height, dispersed to a wide extent, and carried along with the clouds. The storm happily passed over without doing any injury to the town. It was accompanied by very heavy rain, which brought down portions of the hay, some of which was very closely matted together, but the greater part was borne along with the clouds till quite out of sight. The vanes of All Saints' Church were observed to turn round at intervals during the storm, and although the air must have been so greatly agitated in the upper regions, it watperfectly calm below. The storm took a northerly direction, and as soon as it had passed away the sky became clear, and the air remarkably hot : soon afterwards the clouds collected again with rain for the remainder of the day. The quantity collected in Mr. SWAN WICK'S rain gauge was one inch and a hell. ELOPFMENT.—On Monday .evening last, the son of an Officer at the West end of the town, eloped with the daughter of a half-pay Officer. The fugitives were traced to Wimbledon, and their joys were interrupted by the untimely interference of the young lady's pa. rents. The blushing fair one was restored to her home on the following evening, avid from circumstances connected With the case, the affair is likely to amuse the Gentlemen of the long robe is the ensuing term. 4THI: Qurnes FTtE. • Yesterday her MAJESTY gave a public breakfast, Bre. to the young gentlemen of Eton School, alter their Montem, to which their families, relatives, and connexions were invited; :also moil of the R oy a l F ;1 , mily, the Cabinet Ministers and their Ladies, the Great Officers of State :Ind of Ike diffeieut Royal ' Households, and a numerous assemblage of others of the Nobility and persons of distinctions, to such .1n extent, that, in addition to the stock of the ltr:y.q I Establishment at Windsor Palace, &c. or knivc , Iforks, and spoons, 200 dozen of them were procured I from London for the occasion. The preparatienz for an entertainment upon such an extensive sc4:e, and the numerous assemblage of visitors invited to be i lpresent, caused Windsor, its environs, and all the roads leading to it, particularly that leading front London, to he in a great bustle from an early to a late hour. The cards of invitati•sn w,re issued hr the Countess of MAOCLISk lELD, as the Lady in Wait ing, by command of the QUEEN ; and tlist it might be perfectly understood to be a running entertain ment, a note was added to the carts of the Gentle. men, stating that frocks and boots would 1:e adz:vitt:J. Upon this occasion, additional and tempyrary ar rangements have been daily direced, and inspected by the QUEEN and Princess atz.ther it, since their return from London, but principally by the latter. to whose direction and taste the whole fete has b, ; .n principally entrusted, her MAJESIV only amusing herself by viewing them in a garden chair drawn br a beautiful little pony. The weather having bees very favourable, it was determined to have the repast in marquees and tents, of which about filly were pitched on the lawn at the back of the house. The splendid marquee which belonged to TIMM SAIB„ which was presented by the late Marquis Coaxwaetsa to the KING, with all its Eastern magnificent deci.ra tions and ornaments, was pitched for the iiiirition ment and accommodation of the QUEEN, the Place REceser, and the other branches of the Royal Family and their particular friends, who were hoircarred by being specially invited to sit in the Royal presence and at their table. Some of the 0141quees and tents were pitched among the closters of shrubs, ever greens, Sc. which had a most delightful effect.— They were be.onifully and tastefully o:nauseated with real and artificial flowers. The tables were qilendittly and magoificently co vered with gold and silver service: of plate, and every thing was served up in the firs; style, and in a great profusion, worthy the Royal Hostess.
