On the Revocation of the French De
ere eg, from Hell's Messenger, oj August
ao.
The measure of Commercial Exclusion
was such a favorite policy of Bonaparte, and
to confess the truth, had produced such se
rious effect on the mercantile interest of En
gland, that it is impossible to think thac he
would have departed fmnv.it without some
of the strongest possible reasons This rea
son is not to be found in the relative com
mercial distressed state ot France and Eng_
gland. In England and in France the dis
tress affected two very different bodies, and
was totally of a different nature. In Eng
land, the Merchants suffered, and thereby
the nronied interest ; the source of Revenue,
and the fund of national and individual in
come. In England, moreover, the distress l
was palpable, positive & visible—It filled our
Gaze'tes ; Tt raised its voice in ourstreets;
it struck the docket against our banking bou_
ses ; and shut up the warehouses of out mer
chants.
In France, on the other hand, the distress
was barely a privation, a privation of lur.u
rits.-There was no visible positive at>
peat ance of di-tress Instead of .ea and cof
fee, frut's and wines occupied the table fur
the morning and evening tepast. The re
peal, therefore, has not been caused bv the
relative distressed state of France and Eng
land. How little, therefore have our min
istu s any cause of self satisfaction, that their
measures have thus reduced France to sub
mission, that England li«s indeed been hill'd
set, but that Fiance is starved. The sub. |
misssion of the French cabinet is not to he
imputed to the distiessed state of the pco- I
pie or country. F.ance indeed wants colo
nial produce, but the want of this is not dis
tress ; neither has the want of it produced
that measure.
In what, therefore, is the reason of this
change of -.ystetn 10 be sought * Why in a Ve
ry few words, it is to be sought in Bonn
parte’s wantofa li tie ready money. Hence
the enormity ot the duties under which alone
file importation is to be admitted. Those
who want Colonial Produce, tea coffee, and
sugar, and cottons, will be willing to pay a
high price for it ; their appetites are sharp
ened by a long want of it. tluy aic as able
as willing to pay.-The dertta d, there
fore. for some time, wiil be incredible, u’.d
the supplies of tlu French Treasury propo.
tionablv plentiful Bonaparte, in laci, g e-.
nearly halves in the price of the supply.
He takes ten pence per pound op raw sugar
burely.sur.h a-measure can have but one
purpose, a momentary supply of his own ex

mands cf the rich and great, and of the ea
ger speculations of the manufacturers _
And how gieat will be that supply ! If this
|be condescension or submission, we have
hiiheVto had a very inadequate notion of
j the meaning and genet al acceptance of these
I terms.

I he short period for which, according to
the private loiters, the measure in to <pi
rate, is another material leatute in it. It
proves, in the fust place, that the cause a ,
hove assigned was the real source of this
submission. If Bonaparte sought the sup
ply ot his people, why should tie limit it to
this short interval, in which it is impossible
that they should supply themselves in any
sufficiency f But tlie most important point
oi consideration is, how will this limitation
“fleet the English mercantile interest ?
Briefly, then, it will render impossible a
large importation, and, therefore, will total
| ly prevent the measure from having any >*!'
feet towards diminishing those immense
stoics ot commodities which are perishing
in the British warehouses. It is draining
the ocean in buckets The impor sttion will
be eager and hurried ; a g.md price will be
given, and tiie purpose, ot the merchan s
will as well, and perhaps better, be answer
ed, by importing a small quantity than alar
ger one. They will indemnity themselvt
outlie smallness of the quantity by.the cnor

Slemish, in the neighborhood of Krough
sliane, county of Antrim, had some dealings
v/ith another man, who lived in another
comity a considerable distance, but whose
name, for proper reasons, we are requested
tni the present not to publish. In the course
otiheir dealings they h id made a bargain of
considerable importance. But betore it was
perfected, a misundesianding took place, and
a law suit was likclyr to be the consequence.

STATE OF THE COIN,
I lie present stale of our interior com •
iru-ice is so critical, am] may lend to such
important consequences, that w* c-nceive
no apology ticc'~ ary for proceeding upot*
this point. In this commer< i;*l < ou*i ry no
tiling perhaps is less g nerally underwood
than ttic very elements and principles f
commercial dealings. l'lie merchants un
derstand. because they experience and feci;
but even their knowledge does not serai to
extend beyond actual experience. They
seem to have tm idea that the principles
which in the particular case under their own
contemplation has evidently produced th©
evil under which they ruff r, is o rvide and
general cause, which most invariably pro
duce the same < tf-ct wherevpr it ac's under
the same circumstances And with respect:
tf> the people nt Inrgu, there arc nine out
of ten who ta'k loudly against the govern
m*.nt, and seni- times eloquently in tavor ot
c mi • erce, without haviogclcar notions even
of its terms and definitions, and who nr©
therefore very invdfiscitnt cilhsr to adv ise or
complain.
If one thirg he evident, it is, that no one
ran properly enu prebend a question who
does not understand its Very terms. The
present relative awe o: our poper and our
coin is occasioned by three main circum.,
srancrs ; the balir.ee of trade, the rate of
exchange nnd the forced and unnatural
augm-n ation of our papier nun y. In or*
Irr. therefore, to form a correct judgment-.
buth of tie evil and of its remedy-. if the
x ent in which it rxivs, ami what may fur
