As, therefore, the Present measure is supported by both masters and men, and by the Landed Interest, who came nobly forward in the way of subscription, we trust that a Eill of Experiment will not be lost, so obviously necessary and powerfully recommended.

The Bidding to be made at the Treasury Cham bers on Wednesday morning next at ten o'clock." LIPUEITHAR PARTICULARS.] We copy the following from a Morning Paper)--. " Yesterday the Gentlemen, who have formed lists, with the intention of bidding for the Loan, viz. I. Messrs. RICARDO and Sons, Mr. HABllloilD, and others, 2. Mr. ROTHSCHILD, Mr. MoRGAN, Mr. MONTEPIORE, and others, a, Messrs. REID and IR•INE, Mr. WARD, Mr. ELLIS, and others, went op to Downing-street at 12 o'clock, and had en interview with the Earl of LiVettPoOL and Mr. VANSITTART, at which the Governor and Deputy- Governor of the Bank were present. Lord LIVERPOOL stated to the parties, that he had sent to the Bank a paper, proposing three plans, to ascertain if the Bank would take in the Omnium, and advance the instalments in the usual manner, provided any one of them was adopted. The plans were to raise 'a•Loan of 30 Millions, fixing the last payment on the Ist July, 1520. 24 Ditto, Ist April. 12 Ditto, 17th March. But the Bank had that morning refused to take its the Omnium under any of these plans. He therefore now proposed to take 12 millions from the Sinking Fund on the sth July next, which would leave a Sinking Fund of between three and four millions, and to raise a Loan of 12 millions, of which six millions would be taken in Exche quer Bills, at 20s. premium. A Loan of 5 or 6 millions, he said, would pro bably be wanted next year. The amount of Exchequer Bills now in the bands of the public was about 24 milions, and as Government would want to issue only 800,0001. more, it would leave the amount of Exchequer Bills in circulation under 19 millions. The Loan, therefore, would be 12 millions. — The biddings to be on Wednesday, 90; June at 10 o'clock, 801. Consols; interest commencing sth July 1819.—The bidding to be in Reduced, the interest commencing sth April.—The pay ments as above. Discount 3 per Cent. for Qi9 days, 0. Is. 311. per Cent. The Noble Ellll said, that as the Bank had re fused to take in the Omnium in the usual way, he did not think it advisable to have recourse to either of the High Loans and he trusted, that taking 12 millions from the Sinking Fund would. not be inconvenient. He could not anticipate how " the machinery of the Sinking Fund would operate, thus reduced in the first instance to be tween three and four millions," but it was ob viously preferable tO a large Loan under the de termination of the Bank. Mr. VANSITTART add ed, that it was under the sanction of the clause in the Act moved by Mr. Fox, that the Sinking Fund might thus be applied to the Loan of the year— and there would won he a real effective Sinking Fund, of between four and five millions, appli cable to the liquidation of the Debt. I\lr. ROTHSCHILD begged to know, %vhether Exchequer Bills would remain at their present rate of interest, or whether the rate would be increased ?—The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, they must reserve to themselves the discretion of is. suing than at an increased rate, if it should be come necessary. Air. RICARDO desired to know, RS the Loan was to be so small, whether it %vas intended, that the Corporate Companies should have portions of it assigned to them as heretofore ? Lord LIVER POOL answered, that he bad no with on the sub ject, and be referred to the Governor of the Bank to have his opinion. The Governor said, that he could answer for the Directors of the Bank, that they bad no desire to embarrass the Contractors, by having any part of it given to them. Upint which Lord Livenroot. said, that no reserve should be be wade for the Corporat e bodies." E 1' it V. ADDRESS, 33.6:4,T rinitioken Is/ oil Opening of the Biriiiinghant 7'hcalre.

AMERICAN NAVY., Thetuccessof ilicAtil,liCallS in a fewcontestS with our seamen, owing in a great superiority 'of force on their pail Seems to have roused their national pride into a delusive expectation of being able to cope with its on all otacalions, and to Obtain a nav,il ascendancy Which may render us insigoi ficant in comparison. . The Quarterly Review, in our opinion, is the most valuable literary and political t = rop of uor Coustitution in Chtfrch and State that we ever possessed; hat entered into this subject with its usual ability and knowledge, in its examination of Bettereo's work on " 'kite Resources of the United States of America, &c. &c. &r." end affords such sti , istae. tory reasons to check the tanity of America, and to cheer the desponding in this Country, that we shall avail o u r se l ves at p resent o f the following observations of the loyal , patriotic; intelligeht and judicious Review in question America, above every other Country, is inte— rested in maintaining the peace of the world She has indeed prospered by the troubles of Europe, but it was only su long as she kept herself free front hostilities with all parties ; and as far as site has received any check, it has been owing to her having forsaken the course which Washington, the 'greatest character she has produced, both pre scribed and followed. It is especially her intereit to keep on friendly terms with this country, if she wishet to preserve and extend her commerce, and to find a Certain market for her domestic pro duce. From the return made to Congress for the year ending 30th September, 1818, it appears that the total value of her exports amounted to 73.854,437 dollars, of which great Britain alone took 44,425,553, being nearly two-thirds of the whole, and more than four times the value of the second largest amount, or 10,666789 dollars, taken from them by France. On the other hand, it is the interest of this country, and we may safely add the wish, to preserve peace with Ame rica. it is her interest, became that gteat Con tinent bids fair to become the best mart for her manufactures ; and she cannot possibly harbour a thought to disturb the general peace, so neces sary for all Europe, and more especially perhaps for herself. It is with regret, therefore that we find Mr. Busted predicting a naval contest in terms altogether calculated to stimulate and hasten the struggle which be foresees. It is true, as he says, two suns cannot keep their stations in one sphere ;' hut that of his adopted country m , n has not yet climbed this envied height ; and, to our homely conception, the period is far beyond nt,rtal ken which shall witness the portentous opposition of the two luminaries,' and the decline of that whose beneficent beams have so long cheered and invigorated the. world. It is the wildest of all possible infatuations to suppose, that the partial success of a few vessels can have the least bearing on the great question of naval superiority.' The capture of a sloop, a frigate, or even a 1140043 e line, determines nothing beyond its own faie: the preponderance of naval power must always depend on the equipment and appointment of fleets of large ships. ‘Vith the seamen of a ruined commercial marine thrown wholly out of employ, it would indeed have been surprising if five fri gates could not be manned with picked men, many of whom were prime British seamen, and, not a few, deserters from the nritish Navy, who either fought with that desperation which the halter round their necks inspired, or, as in the case of the frigate captured near Valparaiso, escaped from the expected justice of their country in the moment of detest. But when England was carrying on the commerce of the world, which with her fisheries and the coasting trade created a ,demand for 200,000 seamen ; when ':her naval store-ships and transports averaged the enormous amount of 250,000 tons, and required 15,000 seamen to navigate them ; when her regular navy demanded 145,000 men, it must and did necessa- Illy follow, that the crews the ships of war. more especially those lust fi tell out, were com posed of all manner of men—foreigners, lands men, and boys. It is by no means improbable also that, from the nature of the long war in which we had been engaged, a relaxation of strict, discipline in the exercise of - the guns might have taken place. The decisive battle of Trafalgar had lett no enemy to contend with on the sea ; and this event, added to the subsequent blockading sys tem, which put an end to the French navy, was not calculated to improve the tactics of our own. " But there was yet another cause for that par• tial success which has turned the brain of every American. Their frigates were, in every in. stance, superior to those of their opponents in size, in weight of metal, and in the number of their crew. A frigate is but a vague term, and represses no defin i te idea of a s!tip's actual force ; that of softie of the American frigates was nearly equal to our o!d screwy-fours. We are told ire the North American Review,' that a Mr. Corny, one of the best painters of ships alive,' has made use of a stratagem to flatter his coun trymen, in representing the English frigate,which was cotutnanded by Commodore Downie, of dis. proportionate size. There seems to have been little occasion for this. Let them not suppose, kowever, that even with the twelve sail of the line, and twenty-four frigates, which America al ready enjoys 6 in visions beatific,' she will suc ceed, as Mi. Bristed prognosticates, in wresting train England the empire of the sea :' nor enter tain the erroneous notion that even such a qua- Oron is to he manned with the same facility, •••• with seamen of the same quality, as five or six trig,ates ; or that, even if so manned, it can chose die objects of attHck, and give or avoid battle as it may suit her purpose. Let them also recollect that one decisive victory puts an end to the dreatrs of universal empire : above all, it may be of im portance to them to remember that England never hml so large a eect, in such excellent condition, zs at this time, ready for sea at,a moment's warti. ink;, With the means of CHElnning and sendittlgtheM, forth t that, in addition to the 20,000 mete aii4 }Toyed on the peace establishment, she has tisi appears by the Report of the Finance Committra) a band of 32,000 registered seamen, receiving pensions, the youngest of whom have seen matt ban 14 years' service; and of wh om it is not on. reasonable to calculate Oil eight or ten thoutanti c o ming forward on the first call," c~„~
