The reply of the Ante tit an Government ought to be prompt, and if faith ran be reposed in public professions, the answer will be given speedily, however differ ent this rule may be from the common maxims 01 the American people, and the government in paurieular. No nation in the world appreciates time and artful evasions more than the Americans.

But this is rather digressing • from our subject. The notice of the Portn guese Goveinment respecting a portion Of Brazil will tend to, embarrass Mr. MOnro, as lie head of a large and rather turbulent family: The mercantile classes of the community have suffered more than those of the saute calling in European countiits by the general peace ; half their vessels are out of employment, and those employed tlo not earn above a quarter of the freight they did in 180 G. As evidence of this, we have it from good authority, that a barrel of floor is now carried front New York to Liverpool at 75 cents, tar a of a dollar freight, which formerly was 3 dol lars, and sometimes more, and was run itt peace insurance when all the rest of the world was at war. Since then, the commerce of America is crippled and cut up, the ship-owners aitd merchants will consider it hard if Mr. Monroe forbid them to trade with the rebels of Pernambuco. The late Dlr. Cyrus King scouted the -" Neutrality Bill" in Congress as a measure incompatible with the dig 'tits, and independence of the'Repuhlic; brit ano _ tber class of full as much respect,ibility, and of tar greater real weaLli, were advocates for the mea sure, and had weight enough to carry it through the le.gislture ; our readers need not be told this xvai the landed interest, an interest that ought to Le first consulted iu evely state, because it bears at least - three quartets of the taxation in every ' 'country, even the most commercial; it does so in Eugland, and contributes rather more iu the Unitcd States. 'The LANDED INTrItEST II) America care little shout the carrying trade ; its members want to sell their flour, rice, indigo, cotton, tobacco, and naval stores, in the' best manner they can, no Matter whether to an Old-Englander, New-Eng lander, Frettehntnn or Hottentot, if well paid . , • and, by a parity of reas- t ning, they will cultivate s correspondence with the countries that can supply ' their wants on the best tvrrns ; no matter whe ther they he New South-Wales or Turkey. If we are to judge from the best interests of the United States, and from the duty they owe ta friendly nations, we should have no hesitation in conclud ing, that Mr. Monroe will give immediate intima- thin to the Americans to respect the blockade of Pernambuco and its dependencies. That portion • Brazil prodisces all the commodities peculiar to •the Southern Atlantic States and Lirmistana, and wants only a little of the beef, pork, and flour raised in the middle and northern sections ; so that it would be worse than insanil it) Mr. Monroe to risk a new Earopean war on account of the cupidity of a few ship owners and ,•mug. glers, who would not gain by the event half so much' as the 74 gun ship Independence cost at 'Boston. The New York Canal Law, which passed on the tsth ult. provides for opening the navigation from Lake Champlain to Htsdaou's River, and the great western Canal from the said River only as far as Seneca River, which is not a third of the distance originally contemplated. But even this when com pleted, will have a, most material effect on the commerce of Lower Canada, iLasinuch as the water of Lake Ontario from Oswego will be united with Hudson's River. It will then no longer remain a questi., n whether the Merchants in the centre of the state bordering on the Lakes Oneida, Cayuga, Seneca, &c. shall carry their commodities to New York or M:mtreal ; as to the valuable trade hitherto carried through Lake Ch .m-' • plain, it will he lust to us, except in a small portion of lum ber and lire stock. Still by counteracting measures if ins-• enediately entered upon, on the part of these Provinces, murk may yet be preserved, for the country ; the bill for .a canal, from St. Johns to Longueuil, l a id before the Legislature last Session, should it pass into a law, will be a most fortunate circumstance, and if the Government fulfil the public expectation by • opening • the naviga-, tit)l4 from this City. to La Chine, it will be a material point gained. Those undertakings if once begun, might he miner completed than is generally imagined ; and it - should be observed, nature has so eminently favoured us, that we can do more with 10,00(n. than the Americans can with Eve times that sum. We are happy to find, that his Excellency the Governor-in-Chief has not lost a moment in appointing Commissioners in the counties of this novinev, to make re ports respecting he improvement of the inter na l cummunica thins ; and according to their reports the necessary ameliora tions will promptly be made as tar as the means appropriated May go, and from which much benefit will unquestionably Tesult.l FROM THE GERMAN PAPERS. STUTTGARD, AUG. 6.—The town of Welzheim Lad, in an address to the King, of the 17th June, accepted the plan of the Constitution.

FROM THE LOWER ELBE, AUGUST 3. It is said, that in September, this year, there will be Ito Extraordinary Diet in Norway, in which the Crown Prince will declare bite son Vice roy of Norway. As soon as this is done; the present Viceroy, Count Moeller, will leave Nor way, and resume his former post. of Chief Go vernor of Stockholm. Respecting the uay in.. which the administration is to be conducted dur ing the absence of the Viceroy, who, according to the Constitution, is not bound to reside in . Norway above half the year, nothing is yet known, but it is supposed that the most important affairs of state will be reported to the Viceroy at Stock holm. The people of Norway have read, with no little surprise, in the Stockhohn jOlll.llAls, a speech which the Norwegian Minister of State, A nly:r, now in Stockholm, made to the Hereditary Prince on the 4th of July, when he was declared of age. In this whole speech a spirit is manifest, certainly *not that of the majority of the people of Norway, and yet this speech was to he made in the name of the people ; it was to shew the sentiments of the sister nation to its future Sovereign. How; unworthy would it be of the honest Nor wegian, if, living only for the present moment, lie bad already forgotten the bounties and the pater nal government of his Gilmer race of Sovereigns, who sat for centuries.on- the throne of Norway ! And-this in unlimited veneration of a new dynasty ! Though Norway recogoises the services which the present Crown Prince has done to the coun try, it nevertheless gratefully remembers the bles sings which its' former Kings spread oter the kingdom.

A f4rther advauce is confidently anticipated, EXTRACT Or A LETTER FROM OUR CORRESPOSDENT AT LIVEDPOOL, DATED AUG. 21. COTTON TRADE.—Every branch of the national manufactures have recsived an impetus, to which they have long been strangers, with respect to this important mart of the Cotton Trade. The symptoms have lately been of the most exhilerating description. - At our two last principal market days, 'goods have been amazingly in request, par ticularly on Tuesday last, when they bore a lively advance, obviously the - effect of an eager demand. MANCHESTER.—TO the above stZlement we may add, that the demand for Cotton in our market has been very brisk during the last fortnight, the sales in that pc, iod amounting to not less than 26,000 bags. The demand fur Colonial Produce has also considerably increased, at an improvement in price of all articles of that descriptirn. The most favourable accounts were this day received of he State of the Harvest on the Con tinent, which is the most abundant that has been experienced for many years. The Morning Chronicle tries hard to persuade its readers that Spain harbours an inveterate de gree of enmity against this country, and states, as a proof, the non-existence of a Commercial Treaty, although the bases were laid down in the Treaty of Peace in 1814. It would have been but fair, how ever, to have added, that the provisional Articles of a.Treaty, establishing bases for any future contin gencies, have never been cOnsidered as binding upon the parties. It world have been tvell also, instead of roundly asserting that the efforts of Our Ambassador had been rendered abortive. by the opposition of the Court of Madrid to the inea sure,, to ascertain whether anyitegociation for a Commercial Treaty with Spain was ever on the tapis at all. We have consulted on this point some intelligent mercantile men, who are con cerned in the Spanish Trade, and they unani mously declare their ignorance of any such mea sure having been in agitation on either side of . the water. The error may possibly have origi naledin• the demand submitted to the British Go vernment; of a loan to complete the 'armaments then preparing in Spain for the. Colonies, which business fell to the ground in consequence the refusal of tile Court of Spain to allow, as a corn ptlisation ttii• die atiVatiet . , d'ither a tee tia...lc, a certain IHUtSecl eiteuti with the Spanish Col,- bfr the introchiction of cotton goods into Spain during the war. Now, if in qatition be tween the thanufactnring interest of the ProVim6 of Catalonia,' and the teinporary distresi of the King's Treasury, his Majesty Ferdinand VII.. thought tile latter the lesser evil of the two, could no other motive be found for the act than the ungenerous one of ingratitude to an ally, tai which. it has, with so little kesitation, beers as-;. cribed by the opposition writers Will any one dispute that it is the bounden duty of every Government to protect native in dustry ? The bilks of Spain have been deemed bet ter and cheaper than ours, yet the introduction of them is prohibited, because it is the interest of our Spitalfields weavers that they should be so. What would the Morning Chronicle say, if Spain were to complain of this prohibition as ant act of hostility ? One of the accusations of -the • Morning - Chronicle against Spain is, that tie French are more favourably treated than we are. This, we are.assured, is..a charge without founda tion. Both nations are put upon the same foot ing, in regard to the dutlea levied noon the same description of goods, and to the total prohibi tion of certain articles. If the French enjoy any preference at all in Spain, it is tl:at preference which arise' from fashion, and not under the coo-. troul of Government. Whilst we see our, oWtt females so anxious to deck themselves out .ii, French trappings, we need feel no surprise at a. similar partiality in the Spaniards of loath'seaes. We would not ad: ise any set of French raiWilers and mantua-makers, and cooks, and hair-dro sers, so far to presume on the partiality of the in' habitants of Spain, as to go to that country in shoals as they come here, lest they should awaken and feel the effects of the deadly hatred svi:b which their conduct in Spain, during the usurpa tion- of Jcsarn ParoNaPartTr., inspired all true Spaniards against that volatile people. Those u ho throw so much blame on the Spanish Government, for the prohibition of British cotton goods, should be told that it is no new measare dictated, as so many iunigine, by an hostile spirit; against. the British irade,—but the renewal of ot, law of snore than fifty years standing, enactel tor the protection of the eotoo-mattatactoties of the industrious Province of Catalonia. 511 long ~st the French remained in possession of that Pro. Vince, the suspension of tke art against the in troduction of foreign cottons became a measure of necessity but on the return of peace awl r s a n... qu Ility, the Suffering; teavhich this prothirc hart been exposed during the' war, and the suagnati. mous efforts of its inhabitants in favour of tine cause of Oleir country, rendercd 'ii not nuly asa act of policy, but of justice, to rant tip it reti (ion lot the restoration of their pri.itqa's.
