It is under s tood that a 'Gentleman, tharged *lth dispatches for the Amu iiran Envoy, at Paris, had hems previously lauded a c u e coast of Frasice. The American frigatel aid out, as was expected, make for the Thames, b u t shaped her course for Holland. Our re a d e r, will perceive, in the Extracts that we Me given, with what rancorous resentment the con duct of Mr. Jacesox has inspired the predominant party in America. Even the very sm.ite have abandoned the language of diplo. 'n al, nut hesitating to declare that of Mr. in his correspondence, 6 ' insolent." iatrullociun of a Bill to " authorise the tasident to send out of the country offending 11inisters," is a measure evidently proposed der the impulse of sudden irritation. We canuot see the u:Ces,ity) the importance, or the utility of such a Bill. The Budget of Mr. GALLATtm is a lamentable Fuel of the departure of America from the prin. ci;.;e of ecoisuiny, on which she hitherto has acted. The seeds of corruption have, we grcatty fear, already been scattered in that only remaining seat o f frecdoln. Even the remarkable trouts that have recently Occurred in Europe, aro less cafes. hied to cacao st:r e risc ) than the apneunced pro. ' bability of the United States being compelled to,. . resort desiecable anti ruinous !system of behe Toeing. Fur the last seven years the prosperity. of Aeieries—the increase of her retenue—and the atinctioe of her debt, have been subjects of Atli teal triumph.—Yet, itt 1810, with the example a England before her eyes, Ainuricais about to open the ilood..gates of corruption to "Loan-mongers'! " As yet—the emightions from England have been Only frwu those classes who could no longer exist in their native lastly in consequence of the effect of this very system, which is about to be adopted in America. Farewell, a long, an clot nal farewell, to the happiness of that land, in which the funding, tuft, baeking, jobbing, fighting system, onto gets footing. *hat has America to do *lth war ? If the kingdoms of Europe prefer blbodshed and slaughter to peace, why should America involve herself as a party in their madness ?---s—llas not Ame rica the meads, the 'tropic, 1119% boundless mans, of cousiort and happiness, within the busota of her own territory ? What a despite. ble race must be the Americans if they any longer hesitate to refuse all intercourse with the belle. gerent disturbers of Europe s But the comb scree of America... Shall Anieriea. submit, to the privation of her commerce ?...What society of human beings can ever hope fur independence.... Wl+it society indeed ever deserved the enjoyment of that blessing...whose restless cupidity...whose insatiable avarice, leads them to the most re. mote regions in pursuit of wealth, while they neglect the blessings, the comforts, and the hap piness which nature has placed Mere their eyes at home. The exchange of the products of the various climes of this globe was the origin, and is the only natural, reasonable, mid legitimate object of commerce. With all the bigotry, superstition, and, in many respects, gross ignorance of China, we look in vain for the same steady adherence to the true. principle of natioual independence. On what coin. try is China dependoutfor her commerce? America is of extent superior,and in resources equal, to that vest Empire. Why does nut America, by a vi mous adherence to Non-Intercourse, compel ber popolatiuu to eircet their attention to the 'fabrics. Con of those articles of. human comfort and me. easily, for which she nuw transports the'prudice of bee soil across the Atlantic, to be mended into clothing for the very men who Wood the ass. tenni on which the imtlestry of Europe is nit. cised.

No Official Communication has yet been made on thtrsubject of India. Some particulars that have been stated from private accounts, are said to be exaggerated—but the general facts, unfortu. nately, appear to be but too true. GENERAL ERNOUP, it seems, has put arms into the hands of the Negroes in Guadeloupe to resist the meditated attack of our troops. This mea sure has probably a tno.fold object—for if the bland should, as indeed is expected, fall iato out hands— it will be thus rendered a troublesetne ac. , quisition. The independence of Domingo has, in all human probability, laid a move solid foundation for the final extinction of the Slave Trade, than even the matchless exertions of the Friends of Humanity and Religion in Great Britain. The large island of St. Domingo will, perhaps, be a di f ficult point in a negociation foe peace. Is it to be abandoned by France? Will England submit to countenance a fresh attempt , of Neteotxott at the subjugation of that island ? There can be little doubt that the. Independence of St. Domingo must -finally lead to the Indepena deuce of every other Island in which the Africans are the cultivators of the soil. _.

The illaconteets which have unhappily broke! set in India, have long been foieseen by these beat acquainted with the state of our establishments in that country, and in particular with the relative Intention of the Civil and Military Servants of the Company. • The Officers , serving in that country have frequently complained - that the fatigaes aud privatilms they had to undergo did not receive an adequate remuneration. The hardship of their si tuation heti been considered to be aggravated, when compared with the facility with which the persons in civil employments acquired a sufficient fortune to induce them to return to their native country at a period sufficiently early to citable them to enjoy the fruits of their labolir. This comparison has been a source of dissatisfaction for more than thirty years. The following state ment, - which . was drawn upin the year 1780, will skew what was the situation of things in this re spect, at that period, at Bombay.

'rho great number of the civil servants, compared wi►h that of the military, who felt themselves, within the period of three years, in a situation to return to Europe, must strike the most superficial observer, and prove at once the great advantages the former possess over tae latter. In fact, ac cording to th• above statement, it twitters that the number of civil persons who returned to Eu rope in the costs. of thresycan was in the pro portion of 1 to 3, white this number of military Officers who accomplished this desirable object was only in the proportion of I,to 30. •••••••••••• commusiestkon re.: The following is another spt•cting the disputti in India :- 46 The discontents at the Presidency of Madras, are of three kinds—The Olken of the Company's army are dissatisfied with the !missies of the .Gatettfor, Sir George Barlow, la -tlia Military Department of his Goverainent. The Civil Ser.. Tonal of the Company have observed, with regret, many of the measures of Sir George Barlow in the Civii,Dopertsision ; and the Frito-Traders, well as thetivil Servants, are surprised and dine. ' 1 tided with some interference, which they consl.l .der to be of an improper nature. The dissatis. faction does not, perhaps, ettend to all the Com pany's Officers, Civil anti .Military, but is very general. The Military Officers have forwarded a memorial to the Court of Directors, and a renion• strange to the Governor General ; the Civil Ser. ,ants have made no remonstrances, or 'hewn by any public act that is known here their sentiinents. A number -of Military Officers have been sus. peaded the service, and ordered home, for acts connected with the memorial, as detailed in a Ge. krill Order pnbliihed in- your. • paper. Many Civil servants, high in office, have been removed from situations at th e Presidency to others up the" _country; the causes of their removal have not been stated to those removed, and are not known here. One of the Free Traders has been ordered tudiii; another been removed from his office of Ma. giatrate From this abstract of the state of affairs at Madrie,it is obvious that there is no insubordination among the troops, either Native or European ; that the King's Officers in India are not concerned, nor have taken any part in the proceedings of the' company's Military Officers. The troops said to bcgoing out cannot, therefore, be intended foie ` purpose or. checking insubordination among the troops, -beeausenene exists. , An annual em. barkatiun of ateruits to fill up vacuities is altrayt malle t and often of regiments, in tithing° for those ordered home in `rotation. No measures of conciliation have, as far as is known here, been adopted by Sir George . Barlow or ford Minto, ' and there ivevery reason to 'Whine that the Court of Directors have confirmed most of those which Sir George Barlow has dented it right - to re& sort to." • - • • • • The arrival of the French custom-been officers . is said to be so greatly dreaded in Ifolland, that a great many of the inhabitants' were preparing to -Great Britain native country, isid - seek au asylum in Britain or her colottlos. - - . • By a Itusalan' Ukase of this 9th November,' the esporatioa of grain from the ports of the White Sea and the Baltic is subjected to a duty of fltty copecks, instead of six, for each measure.
