F ' -0 NI A G Eft .., iA N 7 PA P ER. ELBERFKLI), JULY 27 .—phe Times cOmpiains of the invectivei of the Dutch and German Journals agaios - t England. The Ghent Journal in parti cular (they say) asserted, that " Europe is now under the yoke of England. This yoke is more real than that of Napoleon, although it is not ac rnmpattied by such humiliating forms." These inveetives are considered abominable, as the great • differeore between militaty subjection and coin ' theLcial precedency is purposely oveilooked ; they are convinced this clamour proceeds nom the Boottapartists, now spread over all Europe, who have inherited the hatred of their Loi.d and Master against England. In what then consists this yoke, they say, imooied by England ) What constraint does she exercise towards foreign powers ? Her wholecrime is, that she is moreindustrioua and more ingenious titan other nations, and precisely on that account more a trading, more a colonial, and more a maritime power. Does she by violence or decep tion force the other nations to take her goods They trade with England because it in their ad vantage to do• so ; this advantage is mutual, he cause otherwise no trade could subsist. "Do not therefore abuse us (they conclude) but endeavour to t ival us, if you deem such a course advanta geous, if you have sufficient genius and industry to- vie with its in the honourable and open course of commercial rivalry ; and if you succeed in gettiog the better of our superiority, and establishing your own in its place, then you will have made war with its in our own way, and beat Its with our own weapons." Is this real ignorance of the condition ,of the Continent, -or is it scorn that suggested this language ? Can he be called magnanimous, who when his ad versary is bound hand and foot, challenges him to the combat ? in this last predicament are the people of Germany, whose goods are nor merely excluded from the English harbours, but from almost all the markets in the world. Where do our merchautmen yet find insurance ? Is not the old Eanseatic fig still lying in the dust, and nirruhterii4. , to pieces ? We hoped that we should again erect it, when 500,000 Germans flew to their swords, among whom the 30,000 English were lost like a rivulet in the ocean. It ought to occur to them that no people are blind to their own interest, and that of all voices from the Seine to the Niemen speak only one and the same lan guage,. There must be something more than .Buottapartism at bottom ; for in that case the whole Continent would have become Buonapartist after Buonaparte was no more And yet . The Times talks of the honourable open warfare of commercial rivalry, in which genius and industry alone can have the as cendency. Well then might we answer . , if you challenge us 'to the field, we accept the challenge with pleasure. But that we may fight Honourably and with equal ar:ns, loosen first our hands and feet, that is, allt:w our vessels a free entrance into ywir harbours, and we allow your vessels to enter our's. Allow our manufacttirers to send ship loads of goods to your towns,, to expose them every where by an army of riders, and to auction them before the doors of your manufacturers, as we are obliged to allow you to do with your goods.-1, Allutv out manufacturers to throw away their shopkeepers for a mere trifle at your fairs ; allow them to put all the Jews and warehousemen, and all time idle vagabonds, in requisition, to inundate the low country with them, as we a te o bli ge d t o all o w you to do with respect to us. Allow the same free entrance to our linen and lace, our iron ware, our grail), our wine, and on; brandy, as we allow to your calicoes and muslins, your sugar, and rum. y ou yourselves say, " the advantage must be reci procal, or no trade can subsist." Grant us, then, what we have already granted to you, and then the battle will be equal ; then the genius and in dustry of the oatioos may contend for the palm. We could wish The Times to have sufficient im partiality to t Lis to their challenge, and then to give themselves the trouble to observe .the impression whin tois proposal produces on the English. And if that high winded people should spurn from them the proposal with roil tempt, that in such a case they would have the courage to say to them, " these demands, which are equally offensive to your pride and your inte rest—these demands have been already realised by the Germans to us ; by those very Germans of whom hundreds of thousands have bled to tear Lack England from the brink of destruction to w , ,i r t, i t had been brought by the Continental System !" PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. An Address was riot long since presented' to the PRINCE REGENT, purporting to be an Address from the Loyal inhabitants of Cornwall, but was too strongly expressive of party spirit, and too offensive in its general substance, to come from so respectable a County, and therefore the truly loyal people who belong to it, presented an Ad dress of a very different kind, and which fairly vindicated the County from the disgrace of hav ing assented to the former. The following are the sentiments of the Royal Cornwall Gazette of the 16th inst. on the subject : THE COUNTY. ADDRESS TO THE PRINCE REGENT. " The year 1816 was a period distinguished by events of no ordinary Occurrence, and will form a remarkable epoch in the annals of England. The country had recently terminated an awful and long-protracted contest, in which her energies bad been exercised in a mapper corresponding with the magnitude of the interests which she had at stake. She retired from the field,—.Victorious, but bleeding ; covered with glory, but exhausted by her efforts ; and requiring much time, skill, t idd patience, to restore her to her pristine vigour; "The othrr nations of Europe felt proportionate ly the shock of the revulsion from a state of wide topread War to that of general ; and, in en deavouring to accommodate themselves to the or der of things, they unavoidably added o a cm. harassments of Britaiu. Her manilla:tures, with 'tvltich she had so long supplied the Old anti the new, were no longer in request 'ciinthierce lingered around her shores, vainly eX4recfing its . accustomed impetus ; the spirit of adveriorte stood tot pals all busines Irtrignished ; and a w.r.ferai feeling of sadness and dismay peiiyaded eveq cdmitenance. To add to the national distress. s it pleas - ed Heaven to blight the fruits of the earth by tinge , nial weather.' Tort eats of rain, during' the mouths usually devoted to harvest labour awl festity, beat tlown the grain to the ground, or rendered it unlit fur the use of man. Thus ; almost th e l as t re source of hope was taken away, and the misery of the country was fearfully augmented. At this particular season, when the minds of SO many thousands were exasperated by the want of einployment :int! by the privations under which their faMilies lahoured,—tlie millions of Sedition burst forth from the gloom in which, during the days of the national prosperity, they had been compelled to abide; and from Spa-fields to the remotest corners of the Kingdom, their voice was heard, uttering the deceptive cry for reform. " Of the kind of reform which toady of those characters contemplated, a indgment may easily be made by referring to the proceedings of the 2d of December, when the streets of the Metro polis were crowded by a lawless armed mob, hear ing the banners of revolution, and engaged in plunder and bloodshed ; or by those of the 28th of January, in the present year, when the life of the Illustrious Person exercising the functions of Royalty was endangered by a frantic mob, whilst be was returning from theAlischarge of one of the most important duties of his high ofice " This traitorous attempt naturally led to an investigation of the nattue and extent of the lbs. a&ction, which, it was lamentably too evident,' had taken root in the country. Committees •of Parliament were appointed, consisting of some of the most upright Members of With patties in that body, who found that treasonable designs and practices were in being, to Meet which, it was necessat y for a time to suspend the Habeas Corpus Act. To the propriety of this 'suggestion the wisdom of Parliament assented ; and, pro bably, by this means the country has been pre served from the horrors of extended insurrection and rebellion. " But ►wile Parliament was thus securing the safety of the people, the latter were not unmind ful at what they owed to the Parliament, the Go vernment, and the Constitution. The loyalty and integrity of the nation was roused ; and Addresses to the Prince Regent, from 1410 St of the prin cipal counties, cities, and towns in the kingdom, gave his Royal Highness the hest assurance of the general so:indnesti at political feeling, and thus tended materially to repress and extinguish the fiames,of disaffection. " It might have been thought that, after the explosion of the Spa-fields and Palace-yard poli tics,—,--after the experience Which bad been thus afforded, of the: danger of hearing the minds of an uninformed poptil,ive by misrepresentation and exaggeration,—ready good and nise men would for a while have stifled (belt' comphints, bow well soever they might suppose them to be ionnded, until a state of national calmness should have pointed out the proper time for their di,cussion.— Common sense would have dictated such a course of pioceeding, but our reformers of Cornwall WPre ahore. lei„/ hv Rile!, a musty guide. The prevalence of congiaiulatory invet logs afforded our western Illismiuuti, a plea for again assembling and displayi.g the oratorical abilities of the leaders to the charmed ears of those competent judges of the science of govern ment behind the bar " In the notable Address to the Prince Regent, prepared by this enlightened and tetuperate,body, his Royal Highness was told, amongst other things, that the Ministers are " all interested in stifling the complaints of the people," and that they (the Addressers, or re-dressers) "cannot but believe " that the area•ures l3tely adopted by Government to suppress - disaffection, " so far front being designed to strengthen the existing laws, and preserve the constitution, are part of a systematic conspiracy to overthrow them, and to establish, in their stead and on their rains, a despotic and military tiovernment." In con clusion they "conjured his Royal Highness to believe" that "it the baffled hopes, rejected prayers, and unredressed grievances of the people had at lengths driven them to listen to the counsels of violence and desperation, to aggravate the causes of their discontents would not be found the most effectual mettod to remove them."--In a former Address, his Royal Highness was told by the same party, in ekfect, that they were dis satisfied because economy, retrenchment, and a Reform in the Representation of the Commons had not taken place ; and they " mo st eat nest ly conjured his Royal Highness to believe that the feelings of the people were no longer to be trifled with, without the risk of a crisis which they for bore to name, and would not willingly content )late." " Expressions so vinient,—intiendos so palpa. ble,—and tnibconeeptions so glaring and dange rous, presented to the Prince Regent as the sentiments of " tl►e Gentry, Clergy, 'Freeholders; and other Inhabitants of Corn could not fail to make a deep impression on the moderate and reflecting part of the natives and residents of this county, all of whom were stigmatized as concurring in the productions of the Reformers, by the sweeping designation which th e y thought fit to adopt. h was, then, the duty of those who felt aggrieved by such an imputation, to vindicate themselves from so foul a suspicion, and to come forward in.the presence of their Prince and coun- try, to defend their characters and their opinions. This they have done, fully and effectually, in that honourable document which will hereafter serve as a complete refutation of the assumptions of the party, and as a correct standard of the feelings of Cornishmen in seasons of doubt, difficulty, and danger. Envy may cavil, sla►ider assail, jealousy distort, and falsehood misrepresent, the,motives by which those who signed . the real County Ad dress were actuated ; but till they can obliterate the names of nearly thirteen hundred truly re spectable inhabitants of this County from the lists appended to Cleat important article, their vain attacks will recoil on themselves with a load of ignominy proportionate to their offence.", THEATRICAL REGISTER.
