M. Royer Collard understands too well the political situation of France to enter into a Ministry composed under the influence of a col league of M. de Villele. It appears to be confirmed, that the former enters the Chamber of Peers with M. de Villele and Pey ronnet. Thus the 76 Peers would be 79, and 14. de Villele, with his two Lieutenant-Generals, would find himself at the head of his little army. BUCHAREST, DEC. 16.—(Extract of a private letter.)---Every thing here announces war, and we are on the eve of great events. The Russian armies are ready to march. The agent of Austria, M. Aque nean, who resides in our city, has just given orders to the mocans (shepherds of Transylvania, who bring their flocks into the plains of Walachia to pass the winter,) to quite the banks of the Danube, and to retire with their flocks towards the frontiers of their own country. About two out of every hun dred of the water carriers, Hungarians by birth, have been made Austrian soldiers, to protect, under their costume, the houses and shops of subjects of Aus tria-who reside in our city. The guards of the ca pital have been tripled within these few days, and no citizen is allowed to be out of doors after eight in the evening. An order of the Hospodar has also been published, by which every one is prohibited from quitting his domicile, or acting in any way that may excite a tumult, under pain of being treat e d as a disturber of the public peace. In this state of af fairs, the notables of the city have proceeded to the house of the Hospodar, Ghika, and requested him to call together the chiefs of the Bulgarians (domi ciled for a long time in this city, of which they oc cupy a considerable part), and intrust to them the superintendence of the police of the capital, as in cases of great emergency. Two hundred citizens make the round of the city every evening; their place of rendezvous is the monastery of Radou-Voda, a fortress situated on a hill, to the east of the Castle of the Cathedral. Every one hurries to intrust all his valuable property to the chief of this monastery. We learn from Hermanstadt, that the number of the Austrian troops is augmenting every day in Transylvania and in Bannat. Only foreign troops arrive there. Those of the country, according to the policy of Austria, are sent into other Provinces, where the soldiery are ignorant of the language of the inhabitants, and the inhabitants are equally ignorant of their language—these troops consist chiefly of Italians. CORFU, DEC. 4.—(Extract of a private letter.) — The report is prevalent here that the fortress of Pa tras has fallen into the hands of the Greeks. The Turks, having learned the catastrophe at Navarin, hastened to capitulate with General Church, on con dition that they should be allowed to march out with all the honours of war. ,They dreaded that want of provisions would, ere long, oblige them to surrender at discretion. (From the Courrier Francai- of M. de Hermopolis and M. de Chabrol, 'Members of the Old Ministry, will figure ill in the New.— if they dream of continuing the Villele Ministry, they will be instantly at variance with their new Colleagues. If they wish sincerely to follow a new system, what attitude will they take in the Chamber when the former Administration shall be attacked, or when the question shall be the reparation of some of the numberless faults in which they had their share of co-operation and responsibility ? Will they de fend the Villele Administration or disavow it ? It is probable that the Moniteur will dissipate to morrow all these doubts. The public, satisfied with being delivered from the triumverate (Corbiere, Vil lele, and Peyronnet), will wait, in judging the iiew Ministry, till their system be clearly revealed by their acts. This judgment will, therefore, be ad journed to the Session, for we can only then ascer tain what the Ministry really is. DURHAM ELECTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —Although Mr. Lambton's elevation to the peerage is not yet confirmed by official announce ment, universal belief seems to be given to the thing as au event that will very shortly take place. Under this impression, Mr. Russell, of Brancepeth Ca4tle, has come forward to solicit the honour of representing his native county, through the medium of an address to the freeholders, signed by his uncle Mr. Tennyson, M.P. Mr. Russell is himself at present in Italy, though it is expected he will shortly return to England. Mr. Tennyson's address, it must be observed, is couched in too general terms for his political principles to be gathered from it. His friends, give out, however, that he will support the liberal system of policy pursued by Government, and consequently that he will be a warm adherent to the present Ministry. The rumour that Sir Hed worth Williamson, Bart. of Whitburn, (who is like -wise abroad at the present moment) intends to offer himself for the palatinate, is not considered as worthy of credit, particularly after Mr. Tennyson's declara tion in favour of his nephew. As little credence is attached to the statement that Lord Encombe, the grandson of the Earl of Eldon, will come forward. Your's respectfully, Durham, Jan.- 5. CMS. GRAND BALL AND SUPPER AT THE MANsioN-HOUSE, VENN-CA STLE-UPON-TYNE. —OD Thurs day evening last, Mrs. MAYORESS (the lady of the Right Worshipful BENJAMIN SORSBIE, Esq., Mayor of New castle), gave a splendid ball and supper, at the Mansion house, to all the fashionables of that town, as well as a large portion of the hunt ton from the neighbouring counties o f Northumberland and Durham, in all upwards of 500 la di es an d gentlemen. A little after ten o'clock, the ball commenced with a contre dance, which was led off in ex cellent style by the Sheriff of Newcastle (EDWARD DALE, Esq.,) and Mrs. BELL of Woolsington, the lady of Max n-stEw BELL, Esq., M. P. Between twelve and one o'elrick. the doors of the Oak-room were thrown open, when a 'Very attractive coup &ell presented itself to the company in th e s hape of a long double row of supper tables, display ing, in the first style of arrangement, all that was delicate and inviting for the evening's repast. The wines, confec tionary, and ices harmonized; and nothing, in short, was omitted that was in anywise calculated to promote the general enjoyment. it is impossible to speak in too high term s of the unremitting a nd polite attenti on o f th e am i a bl e liostess, as well as Mr. 31.1. v 0u, to their numerous f r i en d s ,throughout the evening. The Facade of the Man s io n- house was brilliantly illuminated on the occasion. DisTRF,ssiNG SuiclDE.- - On F riday evening an inquest was held upon view of JOHN Buter, formerly a pensioner, by th e De p uty Coroner for the City and Liber ties of Westminster, at the Coach and Horses, near D e w s _ yard. whets Mr. SCHOFIELD was chosen Foreman Of the Jury. Baavo, the watch,man, on the Tothill-street beat, &posed to his seeing the deceased about ten o'cloCk on Thstrsday night, putting the sluitters to against the window ; he called out " Watch !" several times, then adding, that he would give the woman (who was his wife) .in charge. Witness went into the parlour, w here he found her forcing the shutters with a poker. She in stantly threw the poker down, and running away, sa id , cc I wish you may get mei." Deceased had given no charge, but shut himself in the parlour, At half-past ten o'clock witness went again to the spot, when the deceased's wif e W 5 bawling outside the premises, to inform him thit she had seen the gentlemen who were to pass him t o t i s parish, at Hawshurst, K ent, the next morning ; hut he snade no answer to her. Witness at length burst open the door of their lodging, when the deceased was found banging to an iron hook in the wall, and his body quite stiff, which was immediately cut down by the witness, The deceased's wife fainted two or three times, on finding that he was really hung. FANNY SURGEE, who lived just opposite the deceased's -house, deposed to their quarrelling on Thurs- NY.; that deceased then complained of being Struck sever al times by his wife, who refused to go to his parish. The deceased, it was known by his wife, had also a rope About him. Deceased had been run up " tally-hills" by his wife, and reduced to poverty. After much deliberation the Jury came to the following verdict--" That the de ceased had hung himself when in a state of distraction, in consequence of the misconduct of his wife." . . ;j ~, : 5. , '6' Ei ,',:' .; ti 7, „, 0 o c , '•J ~, s F, !w E.: A. 4 ~ ... c , '8 r , :to 4' . ::''' ° 2 00 •-j ± § E ..., '4 .

MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 7, 1828. We publish, in another column, the detailed accounts of the Revenue of Great Britain, for the Quarter and Year respectively, ended on the sth January inst. The decrease of the Revenue during the Quarter, as compared with the cor responding Quarter of last Year, is not so great as had been expected, and does not amount to so large a sum even as we had anticipated on Saturday. The decrease is only 188,002/. This arises from a diminution of receipts, under the following heads : Customs 11,304 Excise 240,955 51,000 Yost-office. 303,287 But an increase having taken place of 25,564/. under Stamps, 11,487/. under Taxes, and 78,234 i. under miscellaneous heads, the total decrease in the Quarter is, as above stated, 188,002/. The decrease in the Year is still less. The produce of the three preceding Quarters of the Year having exceeded the produce of the corre sponding Quarters of 1826 by 172,0001., the de crease in the whole Year ending the sth January, 1828, notwithstanding the deficiency of the present Quarter, is only 5,9931. Under the variety of gloomy reports which have been in circulation relative to the falling off of the Revenue, it is consolatory to find that the total decrease ofthe Year is ofso trivial an amount. We wish, however, that we could consider the result as entirely satisfactory. The decrease of 779,7091. in the amount of the Revenue of Excise in the Year, and the still larger propor- tionate decrease of that source of income in the Quarter of 240,9831., skews a diminished con- sumption of various articles essential to comfort and luxury ; while the decrease of the Post office Revenue likewise proves that a less active internal trade has been carried on ' than during former periods. The increase in the Customs in the Year does not compensate for the decrease in these heads, for probably the whole increase which has taken place, arose from the Duty on Foreign Corn let out of Bond ; and the decrease in the last Quarter, though not of itself of great amount, is important as chewing that the ratio by which this branch of the public income was before increasing, is not maintained. On the whole, the character of the present statements do not alter the opinion we have on former occasions expressed. They need not excite alarm, but they must awaken considera tion ; and as it is hardly possible, under existing circumstances, that any very material 'eduction of national expenditure can be made, the neces sity which we have so frequently pointed out of of additional taxation, or of the partial abolition of the Sinking Fund, is become more evident. It may be interesting to give in one view the amount of the Revenue of Great Britain in each of the last four years, and the aggregate amount of the Customs and Excise in each of those years.

We received yesterday the Paris Papers of Friday, and the Gazette de France dated Satur day morning. The former contained ►arious speculations relative to the persons who were to compose the new Ministry ; but all uncertainty upon the subject has been dispelled by the arrival this morning of the Moniteur of Satur day, containing the following Royal Ordinance : " ORDINANCE OF THE KING. " Charles, by the grace of God, King of France and Navarre. " We have ordained and tie ordain as follows: " Article I.—The Count Portalis, peer of France, is named Secretary of State for the Department of Justice. " The Count de la Ferronays, Peer of France, is named Secretary of State for the Department of Foreign Affairs. " The Viscount de Caux, member of the Chamber of Deputies, is named Secretary of State for the Administra tion of War. 44 The presentation to the offices vacant in the army will be hereafter made by our well-beloved son the Dauphin. The nominations will be counter-signed by the Minister for the Administration of War. " The Viscount de Martignac, member of the Chamber of Deputies, is named Secretary of State for the Depart ment of the Interior. " Certain duties of the Minister of the Interior are separated ; they are those which relate to commerce and manufactures, in order to be re-united to the present duties of the bure•m of Commerce and Colonies. " The Count de St. Cricq, Member of the Chamber of Deputies, is named Secretary of State President of the superior Council of Commerce and of the Colonies. " The Count Roy, Peer of France, is named Secretary of State for the Department of the Finances. " 2. In future public instruction will no longer form part of the Ministry of Ecclesiastical Affairs. "3. Our Secretary of State for the Department of the Marine and of the Colonies is charged with the execution of the present ordinance. " Given at the Palace of the Tuileries, the 4th of Jan., 1828, and the 4th of our reign. (By the King) " CHARLES. " The Peer of France, Minister Secretary of State for the Department of the Marine and of the Colonies, " Comte de CHABROL." Then follow two other Ordinances of the KlNG—the first, naming the Count de VILLELE, Count de PEYRONNET, Baron de DAMAS, Marquis de CLERMONT TONNERRE, and Count de CORBIERE, Ministers of State, Mem bers of the Privy Council. And the second elevating the Count de VILLELE, Count de PEYRONNET, and Count de CORBIERE, tO be Peers of the Realm, by way of consolation to them for the loss of office. It is impossible at this moment to surmise what effect this change may have upon the general policy of France, but we trust that who ever may be the Minister of that country, he will be convinced that the true interests of the nation require a steady adherence to those prin ciples for the preservation of peace which M. VILLELE invariably acted upon. The express which brought the Moniteur left Paris before the business at the Exchange corn. menced, and we are therefore at present ignorant of the effect which the official announcement of the change may have had on the public secu rities. On Friday, when it was tolerably well known who would succeed to office, the Three per Cents. varied between 68f. and 68f. 25c. We have given in another column a few ex tracts from the Papers of Friday and Saturday. The Paris Papers, received this morning, con tain a paragraph from Nuremberg, dated the 30th ult., which states, that an English courier passed through that town on the preceding day, charged with despatches for our Ambassador, at Vienna, from Mr. STRATFORD CANNING, Who had arrived at Corfu.

The greater part of that island is known to be in possession of the Greeks, and in order to subdue it entirely, Lord Coch rane has projected an expedition. Colonel Heidegger seems resolved to wait for the arrival of Count Capo d'lstria before he decides on this offer, which is so honour able both to him and to his country. CORFU, Dec. 4.—We do not`know any thing certain respecting the result of the Greek expedition against Scio, though Colonel Fabvier had occupied the island and be sieged the fort. We are ignorant whether he has continued his operations, or whether circumstances have obliged him to give up his enterprise. However, the appearance of Lord Cochrane on the coasts of the Morea, gives reason to conjecture that the Greeks have again left Scia, and obeyed the summons of the Admirals of the Allied Squa drons, dated Oct. 24. A great part of the Greek ships, under the command of Lord Cochrane, has given chace to several well-known pirates, in the Levant, and destroyed the most of them. On the coast of Messina, Lord Cochrane has attacked the schooner of the notorious pirate, Kukerzzi, and taken seven of the crew prisoners ; the commander succeded in escaping on shore. On the 22d of November, a Dutch merchantman ar rived at Zante, which had sailed from that island only a few days before, bottnd to Messina. It had been taken by a pirate, but was delivered off Maina by Lord Cochrane, who sent it back, with two men belonging to. the crew of the pirate, in order that they might be delivered up to the constituted authorities, as suspected of being lonian subjects. NAPLES, DEc. 13.—The celebrated Cardinal, Fainizio Ruffo, died this morning, in the 83d year of his age. FRANKFORT, DSc. 29.—Exchange on London, two months, 141. We received this morning the Nurernburg Correspondent, and other German Papers, to the 31st ult. It appears that Mr. STRATFORD CANNING has arrived at Corfu. Count GUIL LEMINOT had proceeded in a Sardinian vessel to Toulon ; and M. RIBEAUPIERRE is said to have arrived at Odessa : FROM THE FRONTIERS OF POLAND, DEC. 17. It is affirmed, upon respectable authority, that in case of a campaign against the Turks, the following are the corps of the Polish army which would be allowed to share the laurels of their Russian brethren in arms :—First, a divi sion of cavalry, under the command of General Kosnucky, consisting of two regiments of Hulans and two regiments of Chasseurs ; Prince Adam, of Wurtemburg, has hitherto been employed as Brigadier-General in this division : 2dly, a division of infantry, under the command of General Krasensky, consisting of four regiments : Sdly, a brigade of horse artillery, under the command of Colonel Schwerin. These corps had, on a preceding occasion, under the reign of the Emperor Alexander, solicited the favour of being allowed to take part in that campaign, in case of hostilities, of which there was every appearance, herore the Congress of Verona, and it is now reported that they have expressed similar sentiments to the Emperor Nicholas, and that his Majesty has signified his approbation. NUREMBURG, DEC. 30. An English messenger, who passed through this city yesterday, stated that he came from Corfu, where the Eng lish Ambassador, Mr, Stratford Canning, had already ar rived from Constantinople, and by whom he had been sent with despatches to Sir Henry Wellesley, English Ambassa dOr at Vienna, whence he was to proceed by way of Frankfort' to Loudon. M. de Ribeaupierre id said to have already ar rived at Odessa, and to have sent from that place a courier to St. Petersburgh. Count Guilleminot, the French Am bassador proceeded directly to Toulon in a Sardinian vessel. The post from Constantinople of the 1I th is said, in letters received from Vienna yesterday, not to have yet arrived in that city, but it was known by our couriers, that after the departure of the three Ambassadors, Baron Ottenfels, seconded by the Ambassadors of Prussia, the Netherlands, and Sweden, continued to negociate with the Divan for the preservation of peace. cAu.T.SRUHIC, nEc. 28. We have received the melancholy news of the dreadful fire at Bonndorf, a town in the Black Forest, fifty-two buildings were reduced to ashes, among which are the post office, the tax-office, all the inns, and the principal houses. The violence of the wind had extended the fire to six dif ferent places at the same time ; 280 persons are without shelter, and have lost all their harvest. VIENNA, DEC. .26. A French courier, who arrived here yesterday evening, brought at length certain information of the departure of the Ambasiadors, after all the negotiations to obtain the acceptance of the intervention in the affairs of Greece. The Perte had again categorically declared, that it would not hear of a pacification to be effected by such means. The Queensbury Packet has arrived with a North American Mail. She sailed from Ber muda on the 2d of December, and from Halifax on the 17th. Rear-Admiral Sir CHARLES OGLE, Commander-in-Chief of his Majesty's ships on the station, was still lying there in his Majesty's ship Hussar. By the American. Mail, which sailed on the 18th ult., Papers from Halifax of the 17th ult., St. John's of the 15th, and Prince Edward's Island of the 3d, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house : From St. Andrew's we are gratified in finding that the revenue of the port is greatly on the increase from.the last or any previous year ; the commerce of the country is stated to be in a very active state, and one certain !.4rool of this assertion is, that every mechanic in the town is in full employ, and it is even difficult to supply the demand for their labour. Money has become more plentiful, and credit greatly improved. The timber trade has been on the decline for some years past; but this is not to be regretted, as it was attended with small profit. The lumber trade is of vastly greater service to the coun try : a much greater proportion of labour is employed in the manufacture of lumber, and therefore more industry encouraged. The Halifax Papers mention a report of Lord Dalhousie being appointed to succeed Lord Corn bermere, as Commander-in-Chief in the East Indies ; ' and that his Grace the Duke of Gordon was likely to be the new Governor-General of these provinces. The first steam engine ever erected in Nova Scotia is now in full work at the Albion Mills, in the district of Pictou, and is found quite equal to the purposes for which it is intended ; the mines are about 30 yards deep. This intro duction of the power of steam forms a new era in the his tory of this rising colony, and it is confidently expected before the lapse of many years to see it applied to other objects of equal utility. To his Excellency the Governor, whose anxiety for the prosperity of the pro vince is so very conspicuous, the circumstance must afford much gratification. His Excellency has given the views of Alessrs. Rundell and Co., every aid in his power, who have expended upwards of 20,0001. in the anticipation of considerable returns, which are likely to he realised; and he has 'now thepleasure of beholding the resources of the country becoming every day more and more developed. It is with sincere regret we have to notice the continued ra vages of the small-pox at Halifax, and the numerous adult persons who had fallen a sacrifice to its baneful effects ; it had occasioned such a dread on the Bos ton authorities, that an ' order bad been issued, di recting that all vessels moving from Halifax should be required to come to an anchor at a distance of 100 yards from any wharf or street of that city, until the same are visited by the resident Physician or City Marshal, to ascer tain no person has died of any infectious or contagious disease on board ; and that no person shall be permitted, before such visit, to land ; and the pilots are directed to give notice of this order to all such vessels. An extensive sale of landed property, belonging to the late Win, and R. Pagan, had taken place at St. Andrew's, and hail realised 50 per cent. more than they would have brought last year, and many of them from to 3 to 500 per cent. more than they would sell for ten years ago. There will probably he more houses built in St. Andrew's next year, than in any since 1824. A new Paper had been establish ed under the title of the Colonial Patriot. The small pox had made its appearance at Cherencooke, among the French—a second attack was frequent, and generally prov ed fatal ; the medical gentlemen had strongly recommended vaccination. The contagion had been greatly increased, and spread by the sales of woollen cloth in the town during the autumn, at Halifax, and but for this might have been avoided being carried to this settlement. It is with much regret we have to announce the loss of Lord HARLEY, eldest son of the Earl of OXFORD, and several other passengers, on .board it packet-vessel, the Fanny, from St. Maloes to Jersey, on the Ist inst. The follow ing letter, received this morning from Lieut.- Colonel FYERS, Commanding Engineer at .1/ Jersey, who was likewise a passenger in the Fanny, but fortunately landed before she struck on the rocks, describes the particulars of his escape, and the melancholy loss of the vessel and other passengers : I am happy to infirm you of my safe arrival here on New Year's day, after another most providential and extra ordinary escape. I sailed from St. Mato, in the Fanny, about half-past seven o'clock, with a fine, fair wind, a heavy sea, but nothing to be alarmed about : we arrived about half-past seven in the great roads, when they called to me to say a boat was waiting for me. I did not move then, as in the very small portion of cabin left free for pas sengers, I could not step out of my birth without annoying a lady, Mrs. Fitzgerald, who was very ill, and on a locker oitside of my birth. H a lf a n hour after, Anley came down, and told me th a t w e could net get into the pier in less than one hour and a half, and I had better land with them ; I therefore scrambled out of my,birth. Th e o th er cabin passengers, Mrs. F. and her has rand, married three . weeks before ; a very pretty girl, a Miss Murray, daughter of a Dr. Murray ; and a French woman, all resolved to re. main until they could reach the pier. I jumped into Anley's boat, who, with the cockswain, pulled for the pier : the town boat shortly followed with five or six more ; but when within about 200 yards of the pier, the wind suddenly shifted to the northward, blowing a perfect hurricane, more violent than has been known here for many years, blowing down trees, &c.—it raised also furiously. We of course lost ground, and they wished to go round to Le Dicq ; but I desired them to pull for the new landing place, and I threw off my cloak, preparing for a swim, expecting every moment to be dashed upon the rocks ; however they skilfully ran up the little creek under the Magazine, and landed me comfortably under Simon's garden. The other boat got round to St.,Croix, with great risk. During this time De Touche anchored under the Hermitage, close to his former disastrous spot : the Fanny drifted —h e jumped into his boat—a French gentleman after him into the sea, and swam to him ; th e others were left to their fate, and about ten minutes after I lauded, I had the horror of being informal that she had struck upon a rock near the Little Green Island off the Fold, and sunk immediately. The' unfortunate passengers in the cabin were all drowned, also Lord Harley, son of Lord Oxford ; young Collins, of the Library; Mr. Miller, and others ; in all eight or nine. Indeed I have every reason to be most thankful to Providence for my wonderful escape." The r m r o ea st de i r t s tt i e n re o st u i:g Passa ge i n th e Ameri can PRESIDENT'S Message, which we laid be that which relates to the discussions at present paper of Tuesday last, is going on between America and Great Britain. Those discussions have arisen out of a difference fore ' u produced by our Navigation Laws, and they af ford (if that were wanting) a striking illustration of the strange impolicy of those ancient restric tions on our' trade and shipping, and of their at effects even in reference to their own petty ob jects. We need not mention that all these laws are founded on the principle of monopoly ; and that the object of our Navigation Code w a s to exclude the ships of all nations from any por tion of our commerce, while we were to grasp at all we could of theirs. The natural effect of this contracted policy is to put other nations 01 their guard ; and accordingly, America, one of the greatest naval powers of the present day, adopts a restrictive code, the counterpart or our own—with this difference, however, that it is merely in the way of retaliation. Ths law on which the Americans profess to act declares, that from whatever port any American vessel . is ex' eluded, every British vessel coming directly fiat the same port shall be, in like manner, excludd from America; and whatever port is opened "to American vessels in the British colonies (for the dispute respects the intercourse between the British West Indies and the United States) every British vessel coming from the same port, shall be freely admitted into America...-. This is the principle of the American law; and how does it illustrate the effects of as exclusive policy ? Our object is to engrosl for our own ships the largest possiblt share of the commerce of the world ; but marl how we are thwarted, how we are met in liminebl the countervailing restrictions of other nations The Americans say, " If you ars for free trade we are for free trade ; if you admit our vessel° we admit yours ; but if you restrict, we restrict from whatever port we are excluded in your da minions, we lay that port under a similar in terdict in our own." The Americans thus rs taliate upon us the exact measure of our ow' laws ; their policy is a species of self-actiel machine, which indicates in America the es.o point of restriction in Britain. Their Navie tion Code is a mirror in which we see faithful ] reflected the odious image of our own restrir Lions. Our ancestors, in their mistaken ze4 sought to grasp by monopolies the comment and navigation of the world. But now oil crooked policy is retorted on ourselves ; th poisoned chalice commended to our own lips and we really cannot help wondering, with the facts full in view, how any rational inquirer 0 still adhere to the most mistaken policy of r e striction and monopoly. Is it not clear that we set on foot monopolies against other 1 0 tions, they will set on foot , monoplies agal° us ; that we shall be fought with our own weapon' and that our navigation under the mean si timid policy of monopoly, will be less extend' than if we were fairly and honourably contend° with other nations for the commerce of ti world ? We ought to throw down our navig tion b oldly as a prize to be won by supers' daring and skill ; and if other n a ti ons do t , same, are we afraid that with our advantages' shall not draw a larger stake from an open 0:0 petition, t h an ever we could receive from V: poor and piddling policy of monopoly ? We, 0 to be sure keep our own commerce for our 01 . ships, but when other nations keep theirs w het we gain ? The probability is, that we l•se by t: transaction ; and that what we retain is n ot' _ equivalent for what we would have gained r our inroads under a different system in the cot merce of others. We regret there should b e any discussi ° however trivial or however amicably carried a, with the United States, more esp ec i a lly 4, 1 ' the two parties are so entirely agreed in e x ciple ; and only differ on details. But it n 0 • . be confessed that the Americans aresomew ) dogmatic and peremptory in their way ; whe .j r 4 , they ought to make great allowances for our P. nisters, who cannot at once disentangle their f licy from the trammels of ancient prejudic t they ought not immediately to zesort to ret, tions, which can have no other effect than perplex matters, more especially when they ltoc that the disposition of the British Ministrl not to press these restrictions to any obnoxi c . lengths. It is by such calm and conciliate : proceedings, that a good understanding can ' , established; and that the two great nations . Britain anti America, can be preserved fr‘ what is more revolting and odious, nameli', war of commercial restrictions after the war arms has ceased. EXPRESS FROM PARIS.
