~: 1 e 1 1 • Totnt of Public Policy. We have again and again stated that Spain is virtually at War with this :Country in coniequence of her Treaties with France,' and that it is . from an interested-policy only on the part of the latter, if 'she delay, for a period, ,her demand 'upon the tomer for the execution of those Treaties. The Treasure from South Amerin has arrived, or is daily arriving in the Ports of Spain, while we very cOmplaisantly permit it to be safely conducted thither, for the purpose ultimately, of furnishing the means to the CHIEF CoNsul, of Trance, into whose hands it must be transferred ,wheneyer Ile d to demand it, of carrying on his PI, :n of Invasion, or, what will be still mote ruinou s t o this Country, of protraffing the War. We live some reason to belieVe however that our Ministers must be reldtantly roused from their lethargy upon this subjeft. Authentic AdVices are received in this Country from Portu gal, that French Privateers' are fitted out in the Spanish Ports, and that British Prizes are carried in and .sold there ; in consequence of which a * Memo.' rial and Remonstrance is talked of ou . the. part of the • Merchants interested in the Portugal Tcade, to be presented to our Minister. ,Such . a represents. lion we hope will induce him to all, and take t!..use steps of which the obvious intevests• of the ,Countiy should have long ago induced tlfe . attoplinn. It was y.esterday very confidently stated, that the Eatavian Government had positively refused to take any atctive part in the Invasion of this Couniry, and that in consequence the equipment of the ;Vessels in the Texel had been. suspended. -We can readily give credit to, the disinclination of the Dutch to such a Strviee, and kuowing this disinclination,• it is pos. . 6 ..i,b.l,cjhat the. CHIEF Comot, may have resolved not ~Fp .4114 them. :Witll.:lrevea to Runic, we shoUld 'he happy 'that %,o.4Pulti say, we have any thing more to hope for,at, the present moment than a Cold Neutrality'.--- We believe that ,the Cabinet of St. Petersburg's views with dissatisfy Lion the Invasion of Hanover by the French, and it is willing to attribute our blockade of the Elbe and. the Weser to just motives of retaliation on our part.' But entertaining tiovery 6vcurable Opinion of the Talents, the Firmness, and the Consistency of the British Cabinet as it is at present constituted—it is -averse to committing itself too far with . Men in whose Experience, Wisdom, and Decision, it thinks it cannot safely confide. With resped to the policy of the Blockade of the Elbe and the 'Weser, considerable doubts we under. atatnd now begin to be .entertained. We hailed it as a symptom of vigour in our Ministers which was new and unexpe6ted, and as such it met with our applause. But it is now doubted, how far we are not by this measure aiding the views and wishes of BorfArAttrt in the exclusion of British Manufac. tures from the Continent. Were those Rivers open to Neutrals, there can hello doubt but-that British Commodities would find a vent there, and the pre. sent stagnation, of our Trade is perhaps not cotripcp sated by the ephemeral credit for a vigorOui mea. sure which our Ministry have claimed upon this oc. cAsion. . , On ,Monday evening, at half past five o'clock, their Rity , al Highnesses the.
