When the War Ministers, whose riches and power increase as their country becomes Impoverished and depopulated, can all into their set.. vice such powerful agents as these daily Journals, whose talismanic pens transform acemes of carnage' and poverty into the visionary appearance of glory and prosperity. ‘Ve say, that while the Ministers have .uch powerful engines at their command s they easy I well boast an extended and intriguing influence, which has spread more mischief throughout Europe than ever disgraced a TAIISCILLANE or a BAJAUT. The people of tisk country are in reality indebted to the interested servility of the Press for the principal part of the sufferings and unparalleled priratioaswhich, for the last twenty years, have been azcomnlating in a Collateral ratio with oar WAT/OWAL DM) within wi.ich period several of the pretended patriotic Journals werevurchased by Mr. Prrr, and corn )lianded " by that Pilot that brought us into the Storm," to support his measures, and inveigh, with CI possible bitterness, against the Friends of Freedom.

CAUSES IND EFFECTS' . OT MANY GREAT EVENTS "we NAVE 0001441 1 6 - DURING TUE LAST TWENTT•MIVL TEA= - Published for the me of the CoatiMood History, als/lici pre vent the mistakes generally met with to the modern works of this Kind. 1. The Treaty of Commerz.l pegcriated betw•ist Great Britain and France, in 1786-7, which causal the ruin of the French manufactures of silks, velvets, &c. by the preference given to the English cotton ma nufactures, and the consequent disuse, both in Eng land and France, of those of silk, velvet, &c. 2. The decrease of the French manufactures caused a want of employment to the French artisans, whose attentions were thereby turned to the study of politics, and the practice of those mischiefs which arise from idleness, poverty s and the want of work. 3. The great number of Politica} Works pub lished in France at the period alluded to in the se cond article, converted that country into a kind of political debating society ; and the failure of the finances depriving the then Government of the means of keeping the people in awe, was the principal cause of the French Revolution. YARHouTIN, OCT. 21.--Arrived his Majesty's ship Thistle, having on board an Officer from St. Petersburgh, charged with dispatches, who imme diately lauded, and set off for London is a chaise and four. We. miderttand Captain Nicuou.s, of the Marines, earn *bier in the Thistle, and arrived at the Admiralty, at six o'clock this morning, with dispatches from Lord CATHCART, the particulars of which have not transpired ; but a Cabinet Council was summoned, and a Bulletin is expected to be issued in the afternoon, which we shall publish ; if in time for a Second Edition. 4. The inability to find other productive sources of taxation, caused Mr. Pitt to have recourse to the In come Tax ; and the disgust with which the people sub mitted to this impost, was the cause of its producing so much less than the Minister then estimated it at. We udderstand that a Merchant at Baltimore has 'been charged by the American Government with high treason, on the ground of having supplied stores to the enemy (the British). The Elections in the United States excite no less bustle and curiosity than those in England. We have received the following, as the probable compu tation of -votes for the Presidency :—For Mr. Da Wzrr CLINTON, New Hampshire, 8; Massachusetts, 22; Rhede Island, 4; Connecticut, 9; Vermont, 8; New York, 29; New Jersey, 8; Delaware, 4; Maryland, 3 ; North Carolina, 15 : Total 110. For Mr. J. MADISON, Pennsylvania, 25 ; Maryland, B•, Virginia, 25 ; South Carolina, 11; Georgia, 8; Ohio, 8; Kentucky, 12; Tenessee, 3; Orleans, 3: Total 103.—There are a few votes deficient which are unexplained, we believe five in number. The following is a journal of the recent proceed ings of Sir Home POPHAM'S squadron, on the coast! of Spain. We regret to learn that the enterprise! against Guettaria has entirely failed : " We joined Sir Home POPHAM'S squadron at St. Andero; we took on board the Ist battalion of Royal Mariues, contrasting. of 637 men, and pro ceeded off Cuettasiw o igpcompany with his Majesty's ships Venerable, Meduta, Shin, Iris, Surveillante, Diadem, Latona, and Fox, all.having either Marines! or Spanish troops on board, in order to make an at tack on the rock of Guettaria, which is in possession of the French, and very strongly forti fi ed. We ar rived off the Rock en the morning of the 18th of September, on which, and the following day, we ! disembarked guns, ammunition, troops, seamen ) 6:c. on the banks of a small river, celled Sem margo, being about four miles distant from the place where we intended to erect our batteries. In the course of the night of the 18th, we got a two gun battery erected, and commenced engaging with enemy on the 19th, at day-break, on which day we were employed with seamen dragging guns up hills, end very bad roads, to erect another battery, which was to have been within musket-shot of the rock. — About 12 o'clock at night, on the 19th, an alarm was given that a reinforcement of 10,000 French were coming down on us from St. Sebastian, on which oc icasion we were ordered to disable the guns, and such stores as we could not retreat with, and to re-em- I bark all our men, and such things as we possibly I Gould. However, by day-light, we had almost every thing off, when we found out that there bad been a false alarm given ; accordingly the orders were then countermanded, and orders given to disembark men, guns, stores, &c. and we proceeded to erect batteries again. About noon of the 20th, however, orders were again given to re-imbark all guns, stores, &e. On the 25th, we weighed and proceed ed to St. Andero. One man, belonging to the Ma rine Artillery, who had both his legs shot off, is since dead." 5. The falling off in the produce of the Income Tax, and the large amount of the Unfunded Debt, were the chief causes of the retirement of Mr. Pitt from office. 8. The Peace of Amiens was made to fund the floating Debt at ■ peace price; to procure the re peal of the Income Tax ; and to get rid of the speci fic incumbrance for which it was mortgaged ; and as soon as these effects were obtained; the execution of the Treaty ceased. 7. The destruction of the Treaty of Amiens, caused the ruin and self-destruction of t many of the best subjects of the realm, and whose families were thereby reduced to poverty, and remain in the greatest distress to this day. • 8. The Property Tax succeeded the destruction of the Peace of ...Amiens, and was the natural suc cessor of the Income Tax ; the public having submit ted to the experiment of the latter, had no power to resist theinfliction of the former; the alarm of inva sion, certainly was of much use in suppressing the murmurs raised against it. 9. The Coalition which was destroyed by the fatal i battle of Austerlitz caused the death of Mr. Pitt. ! 10. The conduct of the Cabinet of Prussia during ! the campaign which ended with the battle of Amite"... litz, caused the rupture betwixt France and Prussia, which ended in the overthrow of the latter. 11. 'I he desire of engrossing all the raw materials et the West Indies and America, and preventing the Americans from carrying their raw materials of cot. toe and colonial produce; as also the manufactures of Great Britain to France, and the powers under French, influence, were the cause of the Orders in Council. It. The Orders in Council, by destroying neutral trade, were the cause of our losing the commerce and friendship of America ; and the loss of that trade with the Continent. which had been previously car ried on under the American flag. Is. The increase of taxes, and the increase of paper circulation, caused an advance in the price of provisions, and all the necessaries of life. And, 14. The increase of taxes, and the decrease of trade, have caused an increase of bankruptcies and general distress, amongst nearly all the middle and lower ra►►ks of the population of these realms.
