The Resolution is precisely what was to have been expetled from that Legislature, and from the man who introduced it. The men who advocate the proposed change should proceed with deliberation : they are treading on hallowed vroursd : they are aiming a blow, which, if it should not Overturn the Constitution itself, will rouse the shunbering spirits of its friends. Differences of opinion on the minor subjt as will be forgotten, and all w►c value the .

WE this morning received the following letter from Plymouth : " PLvstotint, Mc. W.—Arrived the Lisa/cut Gun•brig from Palermo, with Dispatches for Go vernment, which were immediately landed, and forwarded to' the AdMiralty the Druid Frigate from the Squadron cruizing off Ferrol ; and the Peqe/ope Frigate from a cruize in' the Channel. Arrived the Plover• Sloop Of War from a cruize in the Channel ; also the Ann hired Armed Brig from Gibraltar, with Dispatches; sailed thence the 30th November, and on the following day pole a Squadron of five Portuguese Ships of the Line and a Frigate, ' with the Royal . Family on board, from Lisbon, supposed to be destined for the Brazils ; the - Ann learnt from this Squadron, that the French Army,' consisting of 30,000 men, had entered Lis bon on the 30th November. " Also arrived the Growler Gun-brig from the Squadron off Cadiz, • with .Dispatches : she fell 'in with the Squadron under the command of Admiral Sir SIDNEY SMITH, cruizing off Lisbon, alt well; and the Sophia, Capt. BOHMAN, from Stockholm, with tar, for this Port." How this report came to be current at Plymouth we cannot conceive, as it is wholly destitute of foundation. The Ant brings no such intelligence Ito , easel or the. Gr4wler go near Lisbon, or fall in with the Squadron of Sir SIDNEY SMITH. We therefore re. main still entirely in the dark with respea to the* ,state of affairs at Lisbon: Sir SznsiT Smtru,, v.ve. may now venture to state positively, is waiting offF Lisbon expelling to be joined by the Forces Sicily, under the'comtuand of Sir JOHN MOORE; and' when that jun&ion takes place every thing that can be achieved by skill ,and gallantry may, be expelled. Sir J. MOORE left Sicily atiout the 98th October with a' force of 10,000 men, for the purpose of co-ope rating with Sir SIDNEY SMITH. We may therefore expeat very shortly to hear some. important and sa tisfalitory intelligence from that quarter. The Ann fell in with Admiral MURRAY'S Squa. dron, front Monte Video, in the Chops of the Chau , ; :lel, all well. as Inn mentioned in the letter, nor did that V The Insolent, which brought Dispatches yester day, states, that Lord COLLINGWOOD was 'off Tou lon with eight Sail . of the Line. Admiral THORN BROUGH was gone to Tripoli for provisions. The Windsor Castle and the Queen, of guns each, are gone to Gibraltar to refit. Wa understand that Orders for reprisal against Russia will be issued this dtly, and the Answer to the Russian Declaration will appear to-morrow. We yesterday announced the arrival of Sir A. PAGET, and consequently the failure or Our nego tiations with the Porte. We never entertained any sanguine expeaations that they would be brought to a successful issue. The ill-concerted attempt upon Constantinople, and the invasion •of , Egypt, , plsnding a negotiation 'threw' the Porte completely fhp :: the arms France ;. and the present Ministers hAvenot, been able; .with all their efforts, to counterad,the cad of these . Unfortunate measures. We think it right .to lay the follc;wing Letter be ; fore our headers, without pledging ourselves for the truth of its contents We think the Committees to which 'the r differerit parts Of the prisideno 4 1 ( 64, were referred, could hardly have made their itaports time enough for such a decision to have taken place in Congress, and the intelligence to have reached this country. EXTRACt Or A LETTER 'ROM MANCIIISTAR, DATED atct►+etx 15, 1807. A Gentleman of respeEtability arrived about four o'cleck this afternoon, at the Bridgewater Arms, at'ter a very quick passage, from America, via l..iverpool ; he brings an account later by several days than any hitherto received in this coun try ; he was present at the Sitting of Congress when the 4 , .../Or p I wuts tha rt :la p illi..

We understand that Earl CAmbarr, Lord HAWKES• BURY, Lord MVIGHAVE, and Mr. Secretary CANNING, will this day wait on His MAJESTY at 'Windsor. It is supposed that it is intended to hold a Council there; and it is said, that, to save His MAJESTY the fatigue of coming frequently to town, a considerable part of the public business will in future be transact ed at 'Windsor. Mr. Ct.ii NE,: the Admiralty Messenger, left the Admiralty yesterday, for Portsinouth,with dispatches, to be put on board a fast sailing Vessel for the Fast• Indies.

The Merchants conneaed with the Rnssian trade met yesterday at Batson's Cotfee-house, pursuant to the requisition which we mentioned on Tuesday. After deliberating for some' time, a Memorial was drawn up, and agreed to; which is to be presented to the Lords in Council this day. The objetit this Memorial we have'already described to be the release of all the Russian Ships, &c. detained under the late embargo. A Council sat yesterday at ,the Admiralty, for the examination of Pilots, who are to be employed upon another new Expedition. A great number of Pilots attended. There was much bustle at the Admiralty. Dispatches were received yesterday from the Texel, dated the 16th instant,. which announce the capture of several French Privateers. The parti culars will appear ii the Gazette of to-morrow evening. CITY 13USINESS.—Yesterday a Court of Comtnou Council was held at Guildhall. • The Covert proceeded to consider the proper mode to be adopted fur carrying into PKeoltion the pro posed plan' for augmenting the regular forces of this country ont of the Militia, and for increasing the Mi litia so far as the same rrelates to the City of London - ; when, , after a debate, it was referred to a special Committee, consisting of all . the Aldermen, and a Commoner out of each Ward, to consider the same.. The Coal and Corn Committee reported the in convenient 4ituation Of the Corn-office in Tower street, and recommended its removal ; to which the Court agreed. The office of Common finnt was agreed to be abolished.- • • The Chamberlain was directed to pay oil 40,0001. Temple-bar Bands, on the sth ofJuly n ex t, an d to give notice to th e sev e ra l parties interested. Yesterday soon after Lord CoLLltrowoon's Dis patches arrived, a.Cabinet Council was held at Lord MuwitAva's residence in the Admiralty. It was at tended by Earl CAMDEN, Lord HAW/Cl/SW.7AI', Mr. SeeretClry CANNING, and other Members of the Ca. but neither the result of their deliberations, nor the nature of the Dispatches, have transpired.

GREAT BRITAIN ANI) RUSSIA. • CONOISE ABSTRACT OF THE BRITISH coMMIRCr WiTH RUSSIA IN THE BALTIC. Greet Britain, during the present generation, has, employed, on an average, about 600 ships and 700: sailors, in her traffic with Russia. These ships are commonly between ! and 300 tons burthen, carrying to or 12 men, and Petersburgh, the metropolis, their principal market. The staple exports from Russia to Britain, and in which, unfortunately, consists the principal occupa• tion of those ships, are those of hemp and flax, tal low; iron, dealS, Russia linen, and a few other sun dries, of inferior value ; in, the whole to any of the preceding staple articles, the total annual amount of those exports to Britain considerably. exceeds three , Millions sterling. ;Russia, in return, takes front Britain a miscella-. neous •assortment of manufaaured and raw mate , . rials, amotinting, in favourable years, to about half a triillion* sterling ; consequently, the clear annual gain of Russia, in her traffic with Britain, is betereen two and three millions sterling, which balance the receives in cash or in bills, on the Continent :, and . : to This enormous gain might be added; Ctistcitn7„ , house duties, Shipping and COmmission charges, and.theatnallerstreams derived from the expend's.' ture of our sailors in her ports. The exports of Russia, from the Baltic ~.to all the other nations of Europe, are not one-third, in value,. to those with Britain alone, and the balance witb ,- them is not in her - tay.our. We shall next submit a few comments on thii Russian commerce, and shall endeavourto pnint - oet resources in lieu of this precarious and unprofitablP connexion. It would be madness and parricide;io us to contribute, by direa or insinea commerce, feed the treasury of a Government that has Confede'' rattAl with tbe' roodern 'Bella for our- destruetion., Uvu'. AND Fi.ag.-;.-The principal consumpti4t.,' in sail-cloth, cordage, and linen. We can, hevievf . be furnished with a sufficient irantity of both hemP ' and tiax from the East Indies, and from Baal' Bay. It also could be cultivated, with mums' a `r Tanta d, in many fertile parts ' of our extensive can Colony, the Cape of Good Hope. By proper legislative regulations, we can greatly enlarge ono stock at home; Scotland and Ireland .plvdtic e f 1 3 , 44 sufficient for the manufattoty of their Untivo" c " linens. • TALLOW.—This is principally used in the mantic',' faaure of soap and candles. , Our internal resourcet would be the multiplication of more oxen in agricell. ture, and is waggons and draft. But independent of tallow, it seems indisputably necessary that flue. nos Ayres, the great magazine of tallow, hides, an d flesh-meat, should be speedily retaken by an ° de ! quate force, and proper commanders.' We s hoal° , without loss of time, provide resources against th e abolition of the Rusiian trade,, and against 3' ruP: ture with North America. If our exertions are not' like those of our foe, prompt and vigorous, relt 3 ' forcemeat* will be stolen out there, and afterwardg, oft' the first favourable opportunity, the noierin.ts rojeas of France against the Brazils, from the 6 , 1c10 of Cayenne, will be put in execution.

DEALL—The domestic cultivation and increase 0 1 ' both the pine and the oak, require prompt encourag e' ment, and judicious regulations. In the mean thr ee' ; we have resources both for deals and for masts, trPT . the E. and N. W. coasts of North America, and fr . o . l _ l l Botany Bay. The defeat of oak could be supp l i ed from the inexhaustible teak forests contiguous Iv India, and perhaps from some, parts of Africa,. Ili; dering on the Mediterranean.

I hope sincerely nothing may again interfere to threaten our peace, or to cut the thread of friendly intercourse which still subsists. -Business in general has been very dull ,for some' months past, a circumstance that may, and is gene rally attributed to the late prospeifi of War, but pow that the cloud which hovered over our beads is' fast dispelling, we look for a revival." FATAL DUEL IN AMERICA. EXTRACT'OF k LETTER FROM A GENTLE3IAN IN NEW ORLEANS, DATED OCT. 1. "This morning, at ten o'clock, I shook Lieute nant T. by the hand—and this evening, at eights I held in my hand a ball that had passed through his heart. " The best account I can give of this melancho ly affair is this :—A number of Officers were amus ing themselves in, their quarters last evening i with cards, when R. came in and was asked to play : ho declined, with a quotation from SHAKSPEARE.— Some criticisms was made on it by T. and an argu ment of some warmth took place—disagreeable .refleelione were made—bad language ensued, and this morning.T. ,sent . a. a challenge. They me t, just before night, opposite to this City. On the word, fire, T.'s pistol Sashed, and R.'s snapped.-- pti the second, they both fired almost at the same `instant, and R.'s ball passed quite through T.'s bo. dy, and lodged in , tho left sleeve of, his shirt.— Ile staggered a few paces—exclaimed, " I am a dead man," fell into the arms of his friend; and in stantly expired." f , What a dreadful affair is this—and how much is to be lamented the frequency ofsuch occurrences. IL did not wish to 'fight liim,"but, unfortUnitely, all attempts at accommodation were vain. T. poor fellow, would listen to no proposals. He had a strong presentithent of his fate, and expressed it ; but he behaved with the utmost firmness and reso lution. R. was much affeeted,' and embraced him in the agonies of death, exclaiming, in a frantic manner, " My dear friend, why would you force_ me to do this ?-I,et me declare in your dying ear that I have no enmity to you—that I did not wish to meet you—and that I shall mourn your death as that of a brother."
