It was then proposed, that, io consequence of the urgency of the care, the Resolutions should be Un medintely referred to a Committee, which motion was also adopted with acclamation. The nations of Europe affected by this measure have no right to complain. Action and re-action are equal and contrary, and a restricted mem. sore in one country necessarily peochtees a corre sponding effect in another: In like manner, when the new Russian Tariff made its appearance, it was acknowledged to be contrary to the liberal policy and principles of the Russian Government, and justified merely on the ground of the restrictive systems of other nations. Thus the nations of Event, while they are politically at peace, stand committed in commercial warfare. Oar Ministers have lately professed to have seen the errors of this system, and evinced a disposition to correct them ; but it is now become soextended, we fear that, with the very best intentions, they will find it difficult, if not impracticable, to retrace their steps.
