'OUR COLONIAL SYSTEM. The following article appears in the Quebec Ga zette of the 9th Atwood : TRADE AND THE CORN LAWS. We understand that it M intended by this inhabitants of differeat ports of this province to petition his Majesty and bush Houses of Parliament oo the subject of the existing re ! gislationsaffecting the trade of this country. It is well kaoline that it is bade that enables one individual Yo apply hinittelf exclusively to any one branch of auditory, and yet by the 'woos of an exchange of that part of its pro duns which he dam sot require for his owe use, to supply himself with all that le necessary, useful, or comfortable in It is thus that trade or exchange of commodities between individuals of the some couestry is isolispenrshle to individual enjoyasest sad general prosperity. Trade, between different countries, tiperates among communities in the same way as among individuals of the same cuuntry--vivi bee the Indosts y and teems,. the wealth and comfort of lite individuals of which each ip composed. The power of regnisting the trade of the Coluobs, width belongs to dm BMWs Parliament, is in fact a power over the fsetotaseethe industry, and the prosperity of every indivi dual in Oho Cohalls. It is • magic wand, at whose motions morillinlinnop Weed up, and our prosperity vanish like a vaunt,. goner Wimp to Great Braids, and we would be the loot at quessiosrumu Wog that is established by law. Neither bent neannenilidiebeiliipp lesson to mimplaia of ill exercise or Illollbets. Paws, after Ift years' war, imitate debts, taxes, and paper systems, have occasioned great changes in the state of trade all over the world, and particularly in every part or the Bri tish doinisions. There has heels an universal derangensmil in the money prices of every thing, creating issermerable hoots aid difficulties is effectiog the exchange of the commodities of one country against those of , another. sod cutiaequeot in. esmsesleisees and distresses in all. Changes of existing Viss have hero effected to meet this state of things in Great Bria hats and Ireland. The Celestes have, however, been lost eight of altogether; or, if any legislative acts have been made, woutinstly affeethsg these, the change Aar Urn to their die odes/wisps. Inosber made op above rise half of their exports, or, in other worda, they were supploil with rows half of the foreign triode which they required in exchange for their lumber. An altrration has hewn made by tlw Act of the 28th of May host. which must greatly stssoloish this trade, if not destroy it alto getber. Wheat, eraniber ogyssultoral peados*, made op • pest pusportio• of the ressaioder of our exports, or artic.es to be glees is mining. for Illeropeas goods. The stair of trade to which we hove alluded, and which has produced such a fall is the price of train, hos is consequence of the regulations of ths British Parliament exclinled our agricul. torsi produce altogether from a marLel. The grauaries of our foreners, and the stores of our neeichants, are now loaded with wheat, sad no price whatever can be oh. hind foe this article, which is of a perishable astert, and ditaisishier he iatries4e vales daily ; while a great number of lbw &mem batriog beets se iinprodrat as to get into debt, eakelstiair ea the usual price fee tittle groin, are in danger of seeing their beads, their houses, 'brit rattle, im plements, and furniture, altogether devoured iii the coitus of law, or sold fur Rot one half their visual iralne. If ibis state of things were solely the result of natural causes, or of our own art., it would be silly end useless to petition ; hot, partially at least, it is owiug to the operation of British statatea. - - - These 'statutes restrain es from trying to obtain a market, r and making oer purchases all user the world ; they restrain foteignere from estmieg here to perched* or sell, should they he so inclined they obinge sale have our goods carried sole!, in &Wish ship , . In short, they establish a monopoly of our trade in farmer of Great Bellaire : they oblige us to boy awl sell there; sod thee, by the operation of the corn laws, they enact, in effect, that we shall nut buy or sell at all. It is not the monopoly to which we object; we adhere to the doctrine and laegivige of the Act of Parliament which declare!, that " the power of ergo Istilig the trade of the Colonies is violent 131 to the general welfare of the British empire." It is the par tial interdiction of all trade,by the operation of the cone laws, of which we colonials,. Foreigners bare so right to enamplain, because Great Britain es, mars no general control over their trade; and every natiou of right makes such regnlat !MIN IL. it thinks proper with respect to the admission of los rizo good' and foreign produce within its own territory. This sight, common to all, I them upon a parity, with means of re taliation and ilefenre. But we have no such right, lir are British subjects, and mint solonit to the regolatums of the British, Parliament. We have no defence, no means of pro. tection, but in the wisdom and equity of she British Govern ment, to which we have a right to appeal, as British subjects obedient and tree. While our surplus wheat, beyond what is required for our own consumption, is lying, as we have stated, in our grans. ries and sto►es, without I be possibility of obtaining any price, the same article is selling at New York et • dollar a bit ital. In commies chit By Itgriculharal, it is the export price that fixes the home price. Were the same markets open to our merchants as to those of New York, wheat at Quebec ought to bring as much as at New York. The British Parliament iu the existing corn law made a distinction between the British Colonies ■ad foreign coun. tries, by odinitilog oar wheat for consumption at 675. ster ling per quarter, while foreign is e-rbided at 80s. This dis• tinction, by the late fall of price, which is likely to he pertoa• nom, is now also avail ; so that, in isoint of fact, we are ex cluded with foregoer', without the advantages which they enjoy from the absents of the commercial rest, ictions im. posed on us by British statutes. lit the present state of the agriculturists in Great Britain we should be loath lo ask any thing which would increase their burdeus or diminish their profits. Wt. have ressoh to believe that the average of our surplus grain, and our ex ports of the last twenty years, even if the whole were to go to Great Britain, will be found not to amount to two days' aonattmpttua of the people of that country, a trantity which, even if it were admitted on the some fisatilig is the produce of our fellow-subjects at Lome, while it would br tinpurtant I to us, would scarcely be fell to the market their.

FRIDAY, Sinuses 21, 18!h At a meeting of the Proprietors of the Bank of England, held yesterday, for the purpose of consi dering a half-yearly dividend, a question was asked respecting the new Bank notes, when the Chsirman answered that the result was ate ENTER, ramie. We do not think it very-extraordinary that a min should not be able to make an inimitable hank note. The Chairman also stated, that the Director, were must anxious to give every facility fur the exchange of metallic currency to the holders of notes, nut alone of the small, but of all others of their notes. - . The present Ministers have 'hewn themselves no more occasionv than one so exceedingly ready to punish an obnoxious individual, withuut the for mality of a previous inquiry, that the recent dis l i - missal of Sir ROBERT WILSON from the army es- cites less surprise than might otherwise have been expected. Every one looks upon the event as a part.of a system which has been for a long time efficiently though silently operating, for the pur- pose of establishing within the whole frame of the Government a strictness of discipline and subordi nation, and of reducing to the level of a mere mit:bine every individual subject to its control, whether in a civil or a military capacity. The Marquis of LONDONDEERY some time ago in the House of Commons distinctly avowed that the Cabinet was pursuing th a principle, and defended it upon its supposed power of giving energy and effect to the operations of the Government. This is precisely the principle upon which a despotic government is formed and proceeds, and can be suited only to a nation of slaves, where the iodivi duels raised by the caprice of their masters to occupy a certain place or station in the system of public affairs are contented to act at the mere tools of power, end to surrender every pretence to the exercise of their own sense and discietiou for the comfortable privilege of some time longer wearing their heads. What is despotism but a government of terror? and whether the terror applied relates in one country to the probable hies of life, where human life is counted as of little worth, or in another modification of society to the probable deprivation of those comforts and conseniences which give life its value, the actual nature of 'despotism remains unaltered. Agents will not be wanted under the Government in either coun try to execute every project of power with re lentless punctuality, and . the sense of propriety which in a free form of government prevails ge nerally throughout *very department, and often modifies the asperity of power, cannot be expected to operate under a system where no merit is recog ', allied but that of a blind sod desperate obedience. ' We often in the thoughtlessness of familiar convey. motion hear it remarked by the friends of the present Ministers, that a government is perfectly justified in granting offices within the State exclusively to those who are kniiwn to he the friends of the exist- Wog Administration. There is, however, very little -justice and no wisdom in such an observation. This • absolute preference of persona holding particular of . • upon the relative merits of the rival parties in l'ailisment, is an effectual means of leapetusting political divisions, mid of causing the Goverotnein • to be administered with party feelings, or at least of exciting a dangerous presumption to such an effect. ‘Vhat would be besotted folly in the case of a King cannot he wisdom in that of his Mi- Misters ; yet what would be thought of • King who should profess himself the King not of his whole people, but only of a particular party, and that lie excluded one portion of his subjects al together from his favour, while he avowed that every species of merit was centered solely in the other ? Such, however, is precisely the conduct of Ministers, who select their officers, civil or military, riot with reference generally to their personal churactess or capubilitica, but according to • certain stundard of paditical feeling; but still more reprehensible is the act of dismissing valuable public servants f their emplolments, because they might chalice riot to be so tractable in their disposition' as is required by the despotic principles of these jeslous deposi taries of authority. With respect to the cause that immediately led to the dismissal of Sir ROBERT WILSON, the Ministers obserren mysterious silence, but their agents take an unmanly advantage of the circum stance to throw out hints and surmises trefavoura. Isle to the gallant General. The moment selected for inflicting upon S.r ROBERT WILSON this severe intni.innent twetn+ not to have been well chosen, for s. as the g.lbuit soldier (we must no longer call him, General) is slow abreast front the country, be is de prived of the opportunity of rebutting on the instant the pre stnniri ions that are raised against him. At. tempts in the mean time have been made to account for the circumstance. It was first stated that be was suspected of longing suggested the plan of obstruction uilopted by the populace on the day of the Q ! EEN's funeral.

There is another version of the latter account, in which the remonstrance of Sir ltoseaT•WlLsoN is couched in terms which could not possibly alfad any just ground of of tener, or have been to felt by Captain OA ES. In a case where exemplary punishment has been thus summarily inflicted, is is peculiarity desirable that the offence should be dearly known and de. fined. It must be therefore matter of regret that an inquiry was not instituted into the conduct of this gallant Officer, and sn opportunity afforded him to make his defence before sentence was pro nounced. A further extract from the Treasury Minute of the loth of August will be found this day in an. other part of our Paper. The extract which has already appeared its this Paper related exellsively to • regulation adopted for deducting a certain rate from the salaries of clerks in office, from which superannuation fund was to be established for the bemlit of the contributors. The extract which we now publish declares that the Lords of the Trea sury have actually compared the establishment of the Treasury in its present state with its condition in 1797, mud have chreced a plan to be prepared for the purpose of reducing the department as nearly as the incorporation of the Irish Trea sury and other matters will allow to the state in which it stood in 1797, and that the new plan is to commence on the sth of January next. No greater number of officers is to he retained than shall appear to be absolutely necessary, and this principle is to extend even to offices which may have been in exietence in the year 1797; but it is provided that every person whose situation iv not to he abolished, shall retain his present emolu ment (subject only to d payment to the superan nuation fund), until by promotion or length of service he shall be entitled, under the new regula tion, to a salary at least equal to that which he now possesses. By this plain no immediate saving to any consi. derahle amount will be effected in the public ex penditure, for, with one exception, all existing in terests are carefully preserved inviolate. The ex ception is certainly of a singular ware, for while the Lords of the Treasury resolve without any re morse to abolish some offices altogether, and to de prive the persons now holding them of all Wary whatsoever, they are tenderly alive to the intereets of all persons whose offices they preserve, and from the Hama-s of these fortunate gentlemen they will not take one shilling for the public benefit. Upon strict principle this may be correct. The lulrourer is worthy of his hire, and why should he who does nothing receive oily purt of the public money ? Why should he? Why should a single sinecurist, who never did ony thing for the public good, be suffered to draw money from the pockets of the people ? But there are considerations which must be some- Miles admitted to operate in mitigation of strict ju.tice, and we certainly should nut be pleased to are one set of public officers deprived wholly of their ordinary means of sub.isterice, while others ore continued in the undiminished enjoyment of their large salaries.

Yesterday the Andromache was paid off in this harbour, and is to be immediately recommissioned for foreign service. Capt. Sim-refl . . on taking leave of his gallant crew, exhorted them nut to dissipate their hard-earned wages. Sailors are said to make their money like horsey, arid to spend it like asses. But the old adage does not seem to have been veri fied in this case, for never were there less symptoms of irregularity at night, which perhaps is to be ascribed to the kind advice the men had received in the morning, ■nd which they acknowledged with three hearty and grateful cheers. The Salisbury was to have been paid off, all stand ing this morning ; bat the accounts not being fully made up, her discharge is postponed till neat Mon day, when the brave fellows who belong to her will take au example of prudence, it is to be hoped, from the orderly crew of the Andromache. The Salisbury, it is now stated, will be recommission ed, and go forthwith to a new station. On Saturday next the King's squadron is ex pected to be in readiness for see. During his Ma jesty'. stay in Dublin the crew of the Royal George had an open house. where they regaled esch day free of expense. By the better informed, it is posi tively said that the King will proceed to Dover for embarkation, and sail immediately for Calais harbour. From the proximity of the opposite coasts. this is infinitely more probable than his Majesty's liking his departure from a remoter part of the Channel. To-morrow we are to have a grand cricket match on South, Sea Common, so that by a succession of sports we hope to preserve our visitors from ennui. and with the blessing of fine weather to rivet them , till late in the season to this salubrious spot. DOVEK, SEPTEMBER 19. In consequence of the wind blowing directly into the harbours of the opposite shores, attended with a great swell, there have been no arrivals (not even the steam vessel, which was to sail against wind sod tide) front France for the last two days; but per. sons who came from Calais on Monday state, that directions had been given to the Authorities of that town, and along the whole route from thence to Brussels, to make the most active preparations for the reception of our most gracious Monarch. lis the course of last night the Ho'd George and the !loyal Sovereign yachts arrived in the Roads from Portsmouth, and took on board pilots for the River; but we have since learned that they were stopped in the Downs by signal, and are to remain there. It is confidently stated that his Majesty will reach here on Saturday evening, and embark the following day for Calais ; and that the yachts hart been countermanded to receive him. Orders haw been issued to have Post-office packets in readirea to receive the King, in the event of the yacht: , n u! being able to get to Dover. The Mary yacht, Lord Deerhurst, arrived here last evening from Cowes, Isle of Wight, and saile.l again this morning fur Calais. A French messenger arrived here late in the tby. and immediately embarked on board the Georgrana passage vessel lot Calais. Passed by the Mandarin, of Baltimore, for the Downs. The KING drove through the west end of 11, town yesterday in a very bundoulue private with • green body, and wily one footman in a dial livery behind.
