after saw him, when he told me he had seen the Admiral, who was satisfied, and returned him not only the original letter, but the one he had wrote, and did not keep co pies of either. .it being now four o'clock, the Court postponed the exa inmation until to-morrow. This is the last witness for the prosecution. lace I despatched my report of yesterday, I have rea son to thing that the two " secret papers" therein alluded to, are not of the importance assigned to them. With reference to " other documents" said to have been l bited for by Sir Edward C,odrington, but denied to him, I "assured that nothing of the kind has occurred ; on the _" n trary, every document w hich has been asked fir. by any raYt has been furnished by the Admiralty. " Why (it " inquired by impartial men) does not Sir Edward Codring ton state specifically the documents he solicited that are withheld? Why does he not also state what those decal , u enta were whi c h, it i s i ns i nua t e d, w ere o bt a i ne d frcni ' 4l m, and for which he can get no receipt ?" The public has a right to know that fair and impartial justice is done, and that the Offices of the State are con ducted with regularity and candour. The reports in seve ral of the newspapers seem to impugn the conduct of the Admiralty, as if some concealment had been practised by that tloard. lam assured, however, that such an impu tation is t o t a ll y un f oun d e d . Ment i on i s i n d ee d ma d e o f a long correspondence between Sir Edward and the Secre tary of the Admiralty, as to how far the former was in the Position of a proseentor, and this correspondence the Court decided afforded no evidence against Captain Dickenson, and therefore refused to order its production. I believe it contained nothing of public interest. ASSIZES. -(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) WESTERN CIRCUIT—BRISTOL, SEPT- 4. Ms. RICKETS V. TOLEMAN. Serjeant WILDE (with whom were Mr. MANNING, rotLETT, and Mr. W. P. TAUNTON), stated that this Was a case of considerable commercial importance.— tbe plaintiffs (Messrs. Rickets and Co.) some time since 'were partners in a banking establishment in this city, but Which they discontinued in 1826. The defendant was a builder in Bristol ; and this action was brought to recover the sum of 1.500/., - the balance on promissory notes, n utounting to 4,4001., to which the defendant was an in dorser. The facts of the case, which were detailed at very great length by the Learned Counsel, are shortly as follow : 7-The defendant (Toleman), who had a banking account With the plaintiffs, was engaged in mercantile transactions to a considerable extent with a person named Tibbets, who also kept an account with Messrs. Rickets. Tib bets tired to pay the defendant in his own pro- Ibis "rY notes, at long dates, and these notes were endorsed by the defendant, and discounted by the plaintiffs, In the year 1825, Tibbets, the drawer of the b its died in insolvent circumstances, and the whole of the bills not then due, eleven in number, amounting to 4,400/. were of course dishonoured. Toleman, fearful of the con ate en , obtained a meeting with the executors of Tib and and one of the partners in the bank. What then transpired did not appear ; but from the frequent commu nications that passed there could be no doubt that an ar rangement had been made for the hankers to hold the bills till such time as they bad s ee n what Tibheta' estates would pay. The Learned Counsel said it was not attempted to be de-- "d that Toleman had received the money for the bil!s of th e plaintiff; but what did the Jury think was the de fen to this action? Why, that the plaintiffs had ne- Rlected to g i ve him no ti ce of their being dishonoured. -4 e would, however, prove that Toleman had given authority to the executors of Tibbets to pay the d ischar ge of those very bills which he in that authority calls " my debt," but now turns round and says, oh I nwe you not hi ng , you h ave no c l a i m u p on me , f or y ou ever gave me notice of the hills not being paid. The Plaintiffs re ce i ve d th e di v id en d s un d e r the estate of Tib betts, according to the arrangement, and therefore consi dered i t was not necessary to give the defendant notice of the hill s not being paid as they became d ue, as h e must hav e f been p er f ect l y aware t h at suc h wou ld b e t h e case . H e " 11 *- Serjeant Wilde) understood another defence, most outr ageous to the feelings of men of business, was to be set up; there had been a trifling mistake of a few shillings in - e°lll puting th e i n t eres t, and that was to be tortured into a Charge of usury. Serjeant MYREWEATHER..-.We do not rely on USury for our defence. You may, therefore, spare your ob servations on that head. Air. Seijeant WILDE continued.—He was happy to hear his Learned Friend disavow such a vexatious course. The Jury were most probably aware that this case had been tried before, and a new trial had been obtained on the ground that the verdict of the Jury was not delivered in a formal manner by the foreman. But the Learned Judge who tried it, observed " that unless a man was a Tom fool, he could have no doubt of the justice of the plaintiffs' claim." Witnesses were called to prove the defendant's hand writing to the bills, and the authority he gave to the exe cutors of Tibbets to pay the dividends to the plaintiffs, to part discharge •of the account. No proof was ad 'Teed that any notice of the bills not being paid was O r en to the defendant. xr Mr. Serjeant Mtraxwasanxit, (with whom was Serjeant Burdens) addressed the Jury at great le ngth for the defendant. The real question in the sac's was, did the defendant ever receive notice ° I the bills being dishonoured, if he did not, his giving authority to the executors of Tibbets to pay the Plaintiffs any dividends they might be enabled to make, did not, as his Learned Friend Mr. Serjeant Wilde stated, amount to a waiver of his legal right to avail himself of their neglect. That authority was only given as secut ity to the executors, that if they so paid the money, he W ould not call u p on th em at any f uture t i me t o accoun t for it. It did not do away with the necessity of the plain tiffs to give notice, and that they had done so remained With them to prove, or otherwise they could not support the present action. There were eleven different bills, and the law imperatively demanded that eleven different notices should b e g i ven. But he hoped to conv i nce t h e Jury f rom the pl a i nt iff s ' own b oo k s, t h a t t h ey cons id ere d an d these bills as their own, for they received the dividends from Tibbets' es,ate in 1825, end never role him cre di t f or t h em un til t h e year 1827, a ft er th e y had discontinued business, and commenced an action against him for the recovery of the balance. That cir 414"tance clearly showed they all along bad treated the bills a 4 their own ; and if the authority of Toleman to the exe !t!tors did not satisfy the Jury that it was an admission on 4 ' ll Part that he was aware the bills were dishonoured, the plaintiffs had no case. And what, gentlemen (said the ;he y C ounse l) cou ld more c l ear l y prove th e grea t doubt ;leg entertained on the question than the fact of the decla 14ion con s i st i ng o f no l ess t h an f or t y - e i g ht coun t s , a nd the reed for an action on promissory notes was such an one I ' , ever before was seen in a British Court of Justice.

Serjeant WILDE replied. The L or d Cnixe JusTicE summed up. His Lordship a b id , the Legislature had wisely ordered that every party to 4 'lli except the one th whom it originated, should have : i re of its dishonour; but the question for the Jury to asider in this case was, whether the defendant had not 4 11 'ed his r i g h t t o no ti ce , by g i v i n g an au th or ity t o t h e tit e : l4o ra of Tibbets to pay certain monies to the plain ', la liquidation of those bills, which he called his debt. rer ° such a circumstance the law would infer that he had b " ° tice of their dishonour. th lb e.Jury, a ft er a s h or t c onsultation, found a verdict for e p l aintiff—Damages, 1,2941.

EAST INDIA ASSOCIATION AT CARLISLE. At the close of Mr. Buckingham's last lecture on the East India and China monopoly, delivered at Carlisle on the 26th ult. to a highly respectable au dience, including a great number of the country gentlemen who had been attending on the Assizes, it was moved by .li)lin Dixon, Esq., and seconded by Wm. Watt., Esq. and carried by acclamation— , " That the cordial thanks of this meeting be ten ' dered to Mr. Buckingham, for the able and agree able manner in which he has opened the vast fund of his information respecting the trade with India and China ; and that we offer him our best wishes for his health and continued success in the great cause he is so effectually advocating." It was further re solved—" 1. That as the period is now fast ap proaching when the East India Company's charter of exclusive privileges will expire by law, it is highly desirable that the inhabitants of Car- lisle, whose interests would be greatly pro moted by the extension of their trade to India and China, should adopt some effectual me thod of securing this advantage for their city and its neighbourhood, by such legal and constitutional means as may unite all parties ►n the pursuit of so important an object. 2. That as no single individual, however zealous or however able, can hope to ac complish this without the aid of his fellow-citizens generally, it is expedient that an Association be im mediately embodied, under the name of The Car lisle East India Association,' for the purpose of col lecting the best information upon all points connected with the trade to India and China, and of acting in concert with the East India Association of Liver ► pool, Glasgow, and the other great mercantile towns of the kingdom, in the prosecution of such measures as may be deemed best calculated to promote the opening of the rich ar►d populous countries of the East to the skill, capital, and enterprise of all his Majesty's f►ithful subjects, who are now excluded from any participation in those very privileges which are enjoyed to the fullest extent by foreigners of every description." These resolutions being put to the vote, were carried unanimously : and the follow ing gentlemen immediately entered their names as members of the Provisional Committee, for the pur pose of forming and organizing " The Carlisle East India Association ;" George Ferguson, William Wilde, Joseph Ferguson (1), William Halton, James Harrington, John Dixon, Joseph Ferguson (2), Ralph Forster, John Watson, Peter Dixon, jun., George Cohen.

This unfortunately has been unpropitious and unprecedented in the annals of our services ; yet notwithstanding the weather has almost in cessantly frowned upon us, the sunshine of your favours has never been eclipsed by the dark clouds and torrents of the elements.—(Applause.)—The recollection of past and present favours will never be erased from the tablets of our memory. With the pleasing prospect now before us, no foul weather shall damp the ardour of our exertions, but the dawning of another season shall find us alive to every possible improvement, and the exertions of the Ma nagers shall be applied in every department to produce amusement and novelty.—(Applause.) -_I am requested by each member of this establishment to express their most grateful acknowledgment of your liberal approval, and, if I may be allowed, must humbly yet most sensitively to convey my own; and finally, collectively and individually, till the period of our re-opening, respectfully and moat cor dially to bid you farewell.—(Applause.)

A young man named James Thompson was charged with stealing a piece of silk, containing up wards of 50 yards, from the shop of Mr. Poole, a linen-draper, in Fore-street, on Monday evening. Sir PETER LAURIE committed him for trial. Thomas Robins, a stout elderly man, of respectable appearance, was brought up on suspicion of having robbed an aged lady yesterday forenoon, in Falcon• street. The prisoner confidently asserted his innocence and respectability; but was, unfortunately, recog nized by the Chief Clerk and Governor of the Compter as one of the old" dividend hunters," who lurk about the Bank to hustle and rob aged and infirm persons who have been transacting business there. Sir PETER LAURIE therefore remanded him till the following day, and ordered Bates to inquire into the reference the prisoner had given. BOW_STREET. Yesterday a young girl named Elizabeth Duggan was placed at the bar before Mr. HALLS, charged with having attempted to steal, in the shop of Mr. Staw, Great Russell-street, Covent-Garden, a nova mina ring, value 14s. The prisoner declared that she had no intention of stealing the ring, and that it stuck by accident to her dress. Mr. HALLS said it was a clear case, and the pri soner was fully committed to Newgate for trial. Last might two German Jews, named Philip Levy and Solomon Barliana, were brought in cus tody from Hounslow, and placed at the bar, charged with having stolen from the box of Matthias Lasser, at Worcester, jewellery and watches to the amount of upwards of 3004, and also a 50/. note of the Bank of England. The prosecutor, who is also a foreign Jew, has been in the habit of travelling the country for some years past, disposing of his jewellery, of which he possesses a very valuable stock. The manner in which he detailed the circumstances of the robbery, his foreign accent, and imperfect knowledge of the English language, and the pathos which he threw into the story, having, as he conceived lost nearly his all, excited the greatest interest among those who heard his statement. As it would be next to impossible to give his very lengthened account after his own manner, the following particulars must suffice:— On Wednesday evening, he said he was in the parlour of the Duke of York public-house at Wor cester, where it appeared he was in the habit of setting up, when the female servant of the house came to him and said that the two men (the pri soners) who had put up at the house had gone away without paying their lodging. The thought immediately struck him that he had been robbed, and taking a candle from the table, he ran up stairs in the greatest terror, and upon entering his bed room discovered that the box containing the whole of his property was not in the situation he had left it. Upon opening it he found that it was completely stripped of its contents, consisting of jewellery, and money to the amount of upwards of4oo/. In the agony and despair of the moment, he tore his hair and cried aloud, upon which the neighbours came running to the house; and as most of them had known him for years, they joined in his sorrow, and offered to assist him in pursdmg the thieves. When he came a little to himself, he recollected that the box contained a secret drawer, in which he had deposited some money. This drawer lie opened, and found that it had escaped the notice of the thieves. He then thanked God that they had not deprived him of his all. The drawer contained three 201. notes, and a tradesman's acceptance for a few pounds, besides some loose sovereigns and silver. Having lodged this money in a place of security, he then ran out into the streets, inquiring of all whom he met if they had seen the prisoners. He went round to the dif ferent places where he knew chaises could be hired at, and at one of them he learned that two men, answering the description of the prisoners, had been there wanting to engage a horse and - chaise to take them to Oxford, where they said they must proceed immediately. Not liking their appearance, the chaise was refused to them, and the prosecutor finding the route which the prisoners intended to take, deter mined upon following them at once to Oxford, and the next morning he mounted a Worcester coach, which was just setting off to Oxford. He heard nothing of the prisoners until he arrived at Oxford, when he learned that the Paul Pry coach had ar rived from Worcester about half an hour before, and had started for London. He then went to the coach-office, from which the Paul Pry had started, and there learned that " two Jewish-looking chaps, very shabbily dressed," had arrived by that coach from Worcester. His informant added, that they were provided with two large green bags, which appeared to contain property of value. Finding that the thieves had got half an hour's start of him, and fearing that if they once reached London lie might bid adieu to his property, he immediately formed the resolution of taking the road to London by the Gloucester mail, which was then about to start, and which he knew would travel much faster than the other coaches. He accordingly engaged a place, and at the first town at which they - stopped to change horses, after leaving Oxford, he learned, to his great joy, that the Paul Pry coach was also changing horses within a very short distance; and, in fact, in a few minutes after, the guards of both coaches met, and were talking together. The pro secutor immediately took the guard of the Paul Pry aside, and asked him if two persons, describing the prisoners, were passengers in his coach. The guard immediately replied, that there were two foreigners on the coach. The prosecutor then told him, that he had been robbed at Worcester by those two men, and that they had got his property with them. " If that be the case," replied the guard, " you may make your mind easy, for I have got all the luggage safely locked up in the boot of the coach." It was then arranged between the prose cutor and the guard, that the former should make no stir in the business until the Paul Pry should reach Hounslow, and in order to give him time to arrange matters there for the purpose of taking the prisoners into custody, the guard promised to delay the Paul Pry half an hour on the road. It then struck the prosecutor, that as he wore a white hat the prisoners might know him, perhaps,as he passed them on the road, and use some stratagem to escape from the coach. He accordingly proposed to ex change hats with the guard, to which the latter im mediately assented, and indeed throughout the whole affair manifested the greatest readiness to assist in securing the prisoners. Both coaches started at almost the same moment, but the Gloucester mail, as had been arranged, soon passed the Paul Pry, and upon arriving in H ouns l ow , a t five o'clo c k, yesterday (Friday) morning, the prose cutor found that he had at least half an hour to pro- cure assistance before Paul Pry should arrive. Upon inquiring for a constable he was directed to the house of a man named Bennett. " I knocked at the door," said the prosecutor " wid both my fist, and I called out as loud as I could, for God's sake get up, Mr. Constable, come in your shirt, for no time is lost; Paul Prior is coming; I am robbed of my property, and I want you to take de tief." The constable, not knowing exactly how to comprehend so strange an application, but judging from the manner in which the prosecutor clamoured at the door that something was amiss, put on his clothes as quickly as possible, and had just learned the nature of the application when the Paul Pry drove into the town. Accompanied by the prosecutor, he took both prisoners into custody as the coach was changing horses. The constable said to th e pr i soners " You have ro bb e d t hi s gentle man." Both p r i soners i mme di a t e ly admitt e d th at they had ; and o ne o f th e m, a ddressing the prose cutor in Heb rew , o b serve d t h at i t wa s a b a d busi ness, and they did it in an unlucky hour. The con stable, leavin g the prisoners in custody of the pro secutor, and an assistant, took charge of two green bags which the guard of the Paul Pry de livered up to him, saying that they were taken to a public-house, and upon the person of Barliana the constable found four watches, and upon that of Levy he found two watches, all of which were identified by the prosecutor as his property. The two bags were then opened in the presence of Mr. Cooke, the high constable of the hundred of Isleworth, who took an inventory of the articles which were found; amongst which were 88 gold seals, 173 gold rings, besides a great quantity of pearl and other ornaments. The prosecutor stated, that although he had valued the property stolen at about 3501., he conceived that it was of far greater value to him. Unfortunately, the prisoners, in pack ing it up, spoilt a great number of articles by using wet grass instead of something dry. The above facts having been reduced to evidence, Mr. HALLS asked the prisoners if they wished to say any thing, cautioning them at the same time not to criminate themselves. The prisoner Levy admitted the fact of the rob bery, but denied having used any force to open the prosecutor's box. Their bed-room, he said, was next to that of the prosecutor, and they both went into it finding the door open, and were tempted to open the box and steal its contents. The prisoner Barliana declined saying any thing in his defence, and Mr. HALLS, after ordering the witnesses to be bound over, told the prisoners that they were both fully committed to Newgate for the robbery. It is singular that the 501. note has not been dis covered. Both prisoners denied all knowledge of it. MA RLBOROU GH-STREET. A young man of genteel appearance, and under stood to be very respectably connected, named John Hamilton, was brought before Mr. ROE, charged with receiving a valuable flute, the property of Mr. Milhouse, a music -seller, in Oxford -street, well knowing it to have been stolen. The prisoner, in his defence, declared that the flute was given to him by a young man named Fer guson, for the purpose of pawning it, and who told him that the flute was his own property. He gave Ferguson, he said, 255. of the money for which he pawned it, and kept the other .ss. to bimself for his trouble : he could not, however, tell where Fergu son was to be found at present. Mr. ROE said, that this was a different story from what he had told Mr. Selby, to whom he said that the flute was his own, having bought it as a bargain; he must therefore take his trial for receiv ing it knowing it to be stolen. The prisoner was then committed for trial. It did mot appear that Mr. Hilhouse knew any thing of the prisoner, or that the latter had any op portunity of stealing the flute himself. MARYLEBONE. A boy was charged yesterday morning, before Mr. RAWLINSON, with having stolen a saddle and bridle, belonging to Mr. Higgins, of No. 38, Coch rane-terrace, and the evidence given in the case was extraordinary. Martin M'Carthy, an Irish lad, said, " I am ser vant to Mr. Higgins. Master gave me orders two days before )esterday, never to lend his saddle and bridle to any body; but the boy came yesterday morning to tire stable and got them." Mr. RAwuNsoN asked him why he disobeyed his master's orders ? "He brought a bit of a note, your Honour," replied Martin, "and I gave it to Mr. Johnson's groom to read it for me, and he said it was all right. This is the note,:your Honour." It was handed to Mr. Rawlinson, and he read— " Mr. Higgins, have the goodness to lend me your saddle and bridle for an hour of two. YOUPS COWELL." " Martin,—Let Mr. Cowell have the saddle and bridle." This induced Martin to deliver them up. He knew Mr. Cowell was a friend of his master's, and he thought the postscript was addressed by his mas ter to him. Two or three hours after, Mr. Higgins desired Martin to saddle his horse, and " How will I saddle your horse, Sir," said Martin, " when Mr. Cowell has borrowed your saddle and bridle ?" This brought the fraud to light, and Martin being confident that it was committed by the prisoner, he was apprehended. Mr. RAwuNsoN—Are you sure this is the boy ? Martin—As far as my senses and my eyesight is upon me, it is the same, your honour; but his clothes are different. Mr. RAWLINSON—Did you notice his features ? Martin—He's got the very same face, your honour. Thomas Pocock, Mr. Jackson's servant, was in the stable where Mr. Higgins's horse stands, when the note came, and he read it to the last witness. The boy who brought it said he had taken it from Mr. Cowell to Mr. Higgins at Cochrane-terrace, and Mr. Higgins had written the lines at the bot tom, but that boy was not the prisoner, he was taller, was freckled, and had a round and more red face. Catherine Carson, a young Irish woman who lives above the stables, said she opened the yard-gates to let out the boy who got the saddle and bridle; she had an opportunity of observing his countenance, for he looked at her and smiled, as he left the place, and she could swear that the face and the hair of the prisoner were the same,but he wore different clothes. The boy, in his defence, said he was elsewhere at the time, and it was so far proved by his father and mother, who were called forward and examined separately, that he was discharged. A young man requested Mr. RAWLINSON to assist him in recovering a watch. He bought it, he said, of a man named Levy, on the 26th of February, at an auction-shop in Leicester-fields, and he promised to take it back and exchange it for another, or give him the value in some other articles, if within three months he had reason to be dissatisfied. The watch did not please him, and he returned it, and now could neither get his watch again nor its value, and Levy had since then removed to the corner of Ber ners-street, Oxford-street. Mr. RAWLINSON asked what kind of a watch it was, and if it was warranted to go ? Applicant— Mr. Levy warranted it, and said it was a double bottomed silver one, engine -turned. Mr. ItAwLlNsoN—What did you give for it ? Applicant—Eight-and-twenty shillings. Mr. RAwurisoN—lt was not dear if it was good. Did it go well ? The applicant made all around him look merry', and even smiled himself when he re plied, " It would not go at all." Mr. RAWLINSON ordered a summons to be served upon Mr. Levy, requiring him to appear before him, and show cause why he detained the property. UNION-HALL Yesterday a man named 11fahone . y was brought before Mr. SWABEY, charged with having com mitted a violent assault on a young lad named Miles, who was unable to attend the examination in consequence of the injury he received. The defendant was remanded, in order to await the fate of the boy. Extract of a letter from an officer on board his Majesty's schooner Monkey, dated the Havannah, July 11, 1829 :—" Early on the morning of the 27th of June, perceiving a very suspicious-looking brig a-head, we made all sail in chase, the wind being very light ; we gained upon her considerably after a chase of some hours; at length about noon she unshored, got a spring upon her cables, and cleared for action ; we could distinctly see six guns on each side, but were ignorant of the number of men, while the little Monkey had but one gun mounted on a swivel so as to traverse in every direction. As we approached she hoisted Spanish colours, and as soon as we were within musket shot, she poured in a broadside, which, had her guns been pointed with precision, must have swept our decks, and in all human probability have sent us to the bottom. We in return kept up a brisk fire with our long gun and small arms, which did great execution, and after an action of about forty-five minutes, she struck her colours, when we immediately boarded sword in band, and secured the prisoners ; she proved to be the Providencia, formerly a 16-gun brig in the Spanish service, manned with 68 men and officers, and having, when taken, 400 negroes on board. The Providencia had her chief officer, supercargo, and one seaman killed, and four seamen wounded ; while on board the Monkey, though so much moreperson was Englishmen." Among the crew o exposed, f the slaver one we found s five SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Among many articles put forth by the Paris Journals, wherein advantage is one day taken of the inveterate prejudice against England to as sault the Polignac Ministry, on the stupid pre tence of its connexion with that of the Duke of Wellington, and next day a similar use is made of hatred against the Ministry, to found on it some tirade against England, we have met with a performance in the Journal du Commerce, which approaches more to the true character of harum-scarum than most other effusions of ab surdity since the days when Buonaparte was wont to avenge his wrongs from British bayonets and cannon, by invectives upon our subsidies, frauds, and shopkeepers. The article begins with abusing confidential interviews, tete-a tetes, &c., as the only means by which the new Administration can manage to get on, and then contrives to slip into a lecture upon the compa rative evils of a war to the respective interests of Great Britain and France, should there take place between these Powers a collision, which the speculating Journalist seems ardently to pray for, though we cannot flatter him that his wishes are likely just at present to be realized. His first paragraph respecting England is a faithful transcript of some ten thousand others, which people of a certain age, like ourselves, used to dwell upon with signal satisfaction, from the year 1803 to 1815, while the First Consul, af terwards his Imperial Majesty, was (irrespon sible) editor ofthe whole French press. England, it appears, is now, what it was the Buonaparte- , joke to call her, " mistress of the commercial world, by the fortified points which she has usurped on all coasts, and in all seas, either by fraud or violence." There is not " a single na tion, whom she does not force to receive her produce ! or whose industry she does not anni hilate by treaties, payment of subsidies ! terror, smuggling," &c., &c., &c. It looks as if a given. quantum of rigmarole was required for the di gestion of such readers as draw their political nutriment from the Journal du Commerce. The industry of other nations destroyed by sub sidies, now in the time of peace ! That Eng lish industry might indeed be destroyed by such subsidies, were she fool enough to pay them, we can understand ; but how the opposite case is made out, we have yet to learn from the Jour nal a'u Commerce. Other countries forced to receive English produce ! How ? prythee friend, do indulge us with the recipe forforcing produce upon a foreign nation ! Teaching ca licoes to emigrate instead of weavers, would be to solve a problem by which Manchester is grie vously puzzled. But next in the Paris disserta tion comes a war. A war is that blessing for which France, we are told, ought to sigh—and England, throughout all her looms, to tremble. It appears to this statesman that a war between the two countries (for which, by the way, he assigns neither cause nor pretext to either of the belligerents) must be followed by gain to France, and loss to Great Britain, in all their most essential interests. That France would recover her manufactures, carrying on her trade by neutral ships, is a postulate with the Journal du Commerce. There is, to be sure, a principle in the law of nations, for which England has contended, and sometimes, mayhap, with success, that enemy's goods are not pro tected by the flag under which they travel. But this maxim, says the article-writer, England would no longer be permitted by neutral states, and especially by those of North America, to enforce against French productions. We shall follow the Parisian writer no farther than to say, that lie indites foolish words, and in a spirit which is worse than foolish. Both countries would lose dreadfully by a war. By a wanton war, they would sin beyond forgiveness ; and what other could arise between France and Eng land at this hour ? We do not profess to look far into futurity, but if there be two powers in the world, whose solid interests, prevailing and ot any k e o n t her sto friendship prolong beaitsi: notoeane itsiettnatilltiees:mmo opi nions, kindred intelligence, and reciprocal feel ings, appear to us better calculated than those handful and E i an d of are ic t u h r e a y b . e Itmi f : luor F e rm o r t a r uh d i rieicsae of a c l cupi dity of some dozen of sordid projectors--no, nor the blind madness of a suddenly excited mob—that will break the international harmony which reigns between the two most enlightened nations of the universe. Even the Ministers who sought to plunge these great communities into discord, if any such Ministers could be chosen, would not long retain the office which they so abused. The nature of things, as well as happiness of mankind, is against such insane and atrocious projects. The following is the article to which we have been adverting : (From the Journal du Commerce.) The creatures of the raew Administration are every where at the search for popularity for their idols. The press is not their favourite arm to com bat the too just prejudices of public opinion ; it is in confidential interviews and tete-a-tetes that they endeavour to captivate approbation. Open enemies to the general interest of the country, they hope to rally to their cause some local or personal interest, — some old prejudices that they think are still alive amongst certain classes of society. They extol to commercial men the advantages they may expect from a Ministry in harmony with the English Go vernment, and which may preserve from the dangers of a collision with a Power capable of ruining our establishments and exportations. One of our most celebrated and important manu facturers answered lately similar insinuations by the following reflections, which he has communicated to us in writing : Mistress of the commercial world, by the for tified points which she has usurped on all coasts and in all seas, either by fraud or violence, England has made the universe a colony of her industry. There is not a single nation whom she does not force to receive her produce, or whose industry she does not annihilate by treaties, payment of subsidies, terror, or by a system of smuggling boldly and resolutely carried on. " But let us investigate what would become of this prosperity in case of a serious war with France, supported by the latter, not under the inspiration of a conqueror more biassed by motives of personal ambition than the prosperity of France, but with that energy which denotes a free people. What have we to suffer, what compensations can the two nations hope for ? " In regard to France, at the very worst, she would be deprived of almost the totality of a very weak and unprosperous share in commerce; she would be obliged to sell her merchantmen to neutral powers,—to borrow their flags. Nantes, Marseilles, Bordeaux, Havre, might certainly suffer from the war, though, after all, their losses might be com pensated by the advantage of commerciug with tl:e neutral states, and of prosecuting a system of making prizes, which, with the help of the new inventions now in use, might prove very fatal to England. And, indeed, we are modest enough to mention nothing of our military navy, which ap pears to be on a very respectable footing, and caN pable of annoying the British navy on all seas, or at least to oppose it in the Mediterranean, where our. forces would be concentrated—a circumstance which
