It seems to us not unlikely that he will chiefly trust to these, as he did at Marengo, and we may hear, if they should be 'really attached to his interest and welfare, as the former were, when he I was Consul, that they may, in like manner, desire and entreat him to retire from the personal danger. It is difficult in what light to construe his hints of . the possibility of barbarous hordes (meaning the Cos- Mkt) reaching Paris, for the united objects of plunder and revenge." Speaking in the dramatic sense, no loan - is better acquainted with stage-effect than our otity enemy.

If the Orator can touch them in a certain point, he gains them to all intents and pur • poles': and as foreigners have often been the best historians of countries they have little more than visited, so foreigners seem most successful in playing upon the senses of the French. In this light we view • the Piogiarnation of M ACDONALD, issued from Macs • tricht,„ in the midst of powerful enemies, as it should seem.

It is likewise asserted, that . though articles sup plied from Great Britain have not actually advanced in price ; yet, from the effects of the change in the circulating medium of that country, every man who compares his invoice with those of former times, must see that he is charged 30 per cent. beyond what was formerly the case ; or, in fact, an enhancement to the whole price,. duty and mercantile charges ex cepted.

COp.II•EXCIIANCIM; JAN. 31 . — 0 n account or the The late proceedings of the House of Assembly of Jamaic'', as inserted in the qTATESNIAN on the 27th *ad 2911 t instant, appear to us so interesting to the Commercial concerns of the Empire, that we take this opportunity of making some further remarks 'upon them. The vast and complicated political, agricultural, lan ufactering, monopolizing, and colonial systems of this country, empire no ordinary capacity to re ,. concile their rsiious, end, in some respects, jarring interests, and to promote their mutually beneficial ,operations for the general good. Thus we have .seen in - our own day, that consulting the claims of humanity by the abolition of the Slave Trade did trot meet with complacent feelings of acquiescence on the part of the West India planter and the African merchant—the substitute of sugar in the place of grain in our distilleries, white it was intended to re lieve that very planter and merchant, was certainly : viewed with an evil eye by the landlord and farmer .r-and the monopoly of the East India Company has men 4 long time reprobated as an infringement upon the geseral mercantile rights, inimical to the adven etaroas spirit, and detrimental to the interests of the manufacterar and merchant. While, howrrer, the latter are to hoes a considerable participation in the trade to the East, with the exception of that to Onina, we,find, 4rometw proceedings of the house of Amembly of Jamaica, that the measure is viewed with jealomsyland an alarm, prophetic of the most serious import to the colonial interests of the West Indies, without a corresponding relaxation in *ha restrictions upon their agriculture and commerce;. stnd it appears that ithey have given instructions to Aibeir agent in London to press this upon the serious attention of Government. Thh transpires from the ket will, no but should the war with America be protracted, and the India trade be thrown open, which no doubt it will, most of the evils which they at present sager are likely to be protracted and encransed, which may lend to eventual consequences, much to be deprecated of the Bri rine frigate, by an English vessel, supposed to be the bulifetigabk frigate.
