The money was saved from a Spanish vessel bound from Ba nn:lab to Philadelphia, which was likely to founder at sea. As saving money for the purpose et restoring it to its just owners is a thing utterly repugnant to the principles and practice of the French Government, all the papers is the employ of that Government have been violent in their da aunciation of the officers of the 4 4aros anti of their conduct, and in their calls upon the Executive to execute the vengeance of the law upon these vio lators of our rights, and insulters of our revenue Notwithstanding these oleic and unequivocal indications of the will and pleasure of the repre. sentatives of his Imperial and Royal Majesty, our Executive have had the effrontery to diem gard those indications, and have gone so far se to grant a special permission to the Avon to make entry and land the treasure of which she had taken charge.

Their object was to ascertain the intentions of Government on the sub. ject of reciprocal intercourse with France, so fre quently demanded of late ; and which, it has been represented, would prove highly beneficial to Great Britain. 'Licences for the importation of mines and brandies hare hitherto been refused ; but the Board signified yesterday, that if France would consent to take one-third of the tannage 6f any vessel bound to her ports from England, in colonial geode s British mannfaetures, and NO India piece goods, Government would consent that one-third of tire cargoes of vessel, bound to the ports of Greet Britain from France showid consist of wines, wheat, &c. to the utter exclusion of brandies. Tie Deputation was given to understand, that no direct proposition would be made to France by Ciornenment on this sub, ject, but that they would sanction the operations of merchants having obtained the approbation of France. it is reported that the Fat'scu La nnon has, through the Commercial Board,, at raris, communicated to oar Government the terms an which he will permit a reciprocal trade between the two *Antrim, to which an answer of a cond. liatory nature has been or is on the point of being reintlOf We hive this day given cow lli.estiers that mot ley.chartett:rcti document of the RIFOIiT of tho VINANCR Cossurrratt.

The 'patient (to change the figure, which is sot al. ways bad writing) is dying; and the physicians say, after a long consultation, ‘ 4 we propose a fine remedy for you to be administered II years hence."

There is one, however, on which we must touch. Above two millions expended In MAI. TeLLo TOWERS! First, as to these Towers, they are to kill all the enemy, like Dobadil—" Twenty more ! kill them too !"—But this Is in words Daly,. like Bobadit's powers. And if they had all the power they assume, the (Meaty would do as Bobs.' dirt opponents no doubt would hare done, W hitt strength and courage been real, they would avoid these MARTELL° Towses, sot by staying at 'home, (for then the Towers, by .their ter. rors, would be of use) bet by landing where they ars not.

If yoon► can't beet the enemy but by hittitig your. self in strong held*, you are undone ! If yew cannot, or mill not, fortify thScouotry, by lim ning its. heart, and taking. that for your shelter, you are lost ! You are at the mere* of a man whose eye never beamed with mercy en kaftan being ! You may cover the entire coast with towers, and every military position with towers; but you hare lost the only shield that can cover you from the enemy's ambition and sengeauce!—Autl useless as these rearms are, the expenditare of their first cost is nothing to 'their perpetual and ever-preying cost. The very keeping up, end expenditure of these niters, is more than the whole amount of the Reruns Committee's saving ! —God use us froth such Reformers! IN General SAARAZIN'i reply to the FRENCH Emeseon, there is much internal evidence of the truth of its several accusations against NAPOLEON. There isalso that kind of proof, which arises from the affinity of the charges with the character of the secured; which affinity between actions and cha. racier, although sometimes ieceassfally preserved in a romance, is very seldom to be found in a fic. tion assumieg to be mere matter of fact. We are, therefore, compelled to give a considerable credence to GENERAL SA RRAZIN'S statements; and we shall be extremely glad if they have the erect of adding many and many to the number of Englishmen who hate the character of the French Tyrant.
