Dalai'', in answer to the Parallel between England and Russia, by the Abbe de Pradt. M. Dupin. in reply to de Pradt's assertion, that England cannot be happy but in doing good to others, says— " England. in her commercial relations with other nations does them good; when their good agrees With her own—and evil. as soon as she thinks herself interested, whether for her industry or her policy: This is no reproach to her more than to any other Power—for all nations have hitherto followed this line of conduct. They have only differed in the Smits of their selfisbnest and cupidity. The interests of kommerCe influence also in another manner the policy of Great Britain. That nation, the views of which are very exteasive an*profound, knows perfectly that the superiorityk.of lit commerce and itt strength depends on the Ippyleabrace of its tastitiatkoss. 'the 101 l enjoyment of ail its Hittite& That, even to thole ititer times, has it appeared little desirous to lams, on the Continent the same benefit to other nation!. " In a very remarkable Parliamentary inquiry ow the trade of Great Britain, compared with that of different nations, Members of Parliament charged with the inqoiry, asked merchants of London, ,Do you not think that France, if she preserves her new institutions and Coo stitntional Government, will not find in them elements of 1 prosperity for her commerce which she has hitherto been without?' Undoubtedly,' replied the skilful mer chants. England, then, has no pecuniary interest in the preserve* lion by France of her present form of Government, and the liberties guaranteed by the Charter. She sees in them means by which we may swords against the monopoly created by her manufacturiag superiority. We do not say thence that England would help with pleasure to overthrow this fine Eno' nament—the eternity of whioh is our hope. We would only say, that she has no mercantile Interest to prevent such a sub* version. Her views in this respect should not be a motive to us to implore her protectorship." After having established, says the Journest des Debate, the absurdity of the English Protectorship of M. de Pradt, M. Dupin considers the Power of Russia In all Its relations.— This is the most novel part of the tract. M. Dupin thews how mistaken Earope is In considering Russia as barbarian. — The happy condition of the peasants, the Corporation rights of the towns, the incorporation of whole nations accustomed to free institutions, the taste for science end letters diffused among the Russian Nobles, all lead Monsieur Dupin to the conclusion that Russia is less backward 113 civilization than Austria ; • conclusion which will surprise some readers, but which is skilfully supported. is What appears to me to deserve deep meditation (he says is the spirit of the Russian Government, viewed in its relation to the great art of assimilating to its Empire the invaded countries. Since Rome, tholurs of which ,ceased made far the conquest of the world, no country bag bees framed like Russia to extend, and above all, to preserve its conquests. Russia having seen itself destined, like ancient Rome, to compose her Empire of a crown of nations of different religions, customs, and Isngusges, she bee made it a rule to leave to each nation all the ideas that are . dearer to it than political existence." He then shews how Russian policy conciliates all re ligions, preserves every where the see* nodose! idioms. 1 old meteors staadiog, and. iiiirliande itself, as In Polantand*Finland. to constitutional ideas. In painting the defensive military power of Ramis, M. I Dario Is.. math. n• acquainted a ith a new institution,whlch has not excited enough attention :—" The Emperor Ales • ander has conceived the idea of founding in different parts of his Empire military colonies, or rather easter. In them all the male children are born soldiers ; they pass under the standards at the age of 15 ; they remain enrolled till 60. In becoming soldiers they, according to the Muscovite law, Cease to be slaves. Thence the military State, which In other petiole is regarded as a time of servitude, bas for them the double benefit of freedom and glory. " The Monarch takes from the domains of the Crown the land necessary for the establishment and subsistence of the colonised regiments. In return for the lands thus conceded, these warriors are to support themselves and their houses, so long as they shall not be ordered out on any foreign expedition. By this means large armies will be kept on foot during the peace, without any expense to the Public Treasury. " The pay of these corps will commence only when they shall be called out of their respective Colonies—this pay will be moderate in proportion to the limited wants of a people newly colonised—sot indulging in luxury. Tbia military population will bear arms without exception, and Bill he constantly enercised. They will maintain their warlike spirit, like the standing armies of the Roman Empire, at the most formidable period of their conquests. " When this project shall have been tarried into execn' tion, the empire will reckon three millions of males in its military colonies. Among these three millions the Auto• crat of All the Russias will be able, by a simple Ukase, to make all individuals enter from the age of 15 to 60 ; that is to say, at least 15 millions of soldiers. " At present 40,000 horsemen are thus colonised; a single colony not far from Petersburg. near Novogorod, reckons 70.000 fighting men. The total of the military cute is 400,000 soldiers." These details are very curious; hot instead of refuting the opinion of hI. de Pradt on the dangers n ith which the power of Russia threatens Europe, they only modify it. It is as a Barbarian Power that M. de Pradt would have us fear the Empire of the Ceara; it is as a civilihed and politic power that ibis empire is worthy of all the attention, all the vigilance of statesmen. There is one only way of maintaining the independence and the honour of European nations. It is not in • balsams of power, often chimerical and allays precarious, that we can find a solid guarantee. Nations must henceforth hope only from their own strength, sad, above ail, their strength. We agree in this respect with M. Dupin, whett he says —" Let us establish every where strong institutions which may be the reciprocal guarantee of Monarchs and subjects ; let us favour the progress of science and arts, the instruction of the people, industry, and commerce. Let us render citizens happy and Intelligent, that they may prevent the dangers which may threaten the State, and, in the time of need, die with enthusiasm in defence of a country which gives prosperity to their families, and guarantees the con. tinuance of that prosperity to their ipMterity. France May occupy tlae first station in the noble career, which will be at once the security and Ike glory of Western Enrope ; else may command by her etample, end direct by her intelligence.. this is the neutral part she has to act. 1 bit is the sole destiny worthy of her greatness:" On Tuesday evening the ‘23.1 instinanieeting of the innkeepers and publicans of Newark, honk place at the Pack Horse Inn, in that town, for the purpose of taking into consideration the necessity of petitioning Parlivnees for • reduction of the wine, spirit, beer, and tobacco licences; and a committee of nine resident innkeepers was appointed and authorised to take measorrlitor carrying thir object into effect and alio of petitionieg Parliament for an alteration of the lase as it respects private retail brewert and retailers of beer. ISLAND TRADE BE [WEN RUSSIA AND CHINA PETERSBURG. DEC. 10. The Court Gazette contains the following article : AB the merchandise sent to China does not amount to a million sterling ales?. Their carriage to Kiatcha coats about three times the original purchase. The conveyance from Petersburg to Kiatcha is accomplished in five months when no obstacles intervene. But if, u frequently happens, the goods change owners in the mart of Ni•chenci Novo. gorod, a year may elapse before they reach their destination. The ermine, of China takes nearly as long in reaching the European• markets of Russia. Consequently a commer cial transaction between Petersburg and Kiatcha cannot be settled in less than two years. The orders begin to be given in November, and continue to the month of March. The mart of Nischenei Novogorod opens in tire month of August. At that period, the Chinese come to Kiatcha, which is a large rill age situated 6,508 vents from Pekin.' A bridge separates the Kiissian and the Chinese empire,. Beyond the bridge is a Chinese village completely ameba bites'. Kiatcha, on the contrary, is inhabited defog the whole year. These two villages were built in 1728, in consequence of a commercial treaty coitcluded between the two empires. Each is defended by several pieces of artillery of large calibre. From 40,000 to 50,000 chests of tea are annually imported by the way of Kiatcha, one thousand of which is sold at Novogorod. In 1820 theee were sold in that mart 27,000 chests of Borg tea, indepen dently of the green in packets, called by the Itnssisos little lozenge tea. The ltuasians are extremely jealous of their trade with China. None ifut hative merchants, furnished with imperial licences, can repair to Kiatcha. The Chinese, on the contrary, hive creatyd a privileged coinpany which has a monhpoly of the trade on their part. No English goods ran reach Kiatcha except by smuggling, Russian merchandise being alone admitted. There are regular markets in Chinese Tartary, to t;hich, however, the Leaves only are admitted. The road from Pekin to Kiatcha panes through a barren plain. The merchandise is brought to Klatcha in waggons. ECLIrSES rr WIZ ENSUING YEAR.—Stith •isible beret Jan. ( ; Moon, paely risible here.
