From Debate in the 1 louse uj Representatives, in
Madison's Resolutions.
S. Smith (ot Maryland.) “ I asked, what per
manent disadvantage to our commerce irom Great
Uritaui ? (I he power aimed'at.) I am answered
the carrying trade to the West-Indies.
“ Ji 15 worthy oi enquiry to know the advanta
ges given by the different nations having colonies in
the West Indies, and the disadvantage accruing to
us from their restrictions.
I* ranee permits us in time of peace to carry in
our ships to the West Indies, fish, beef, livestock,
add lumber, and to take our returns only in Tufha
and Molasses; she prohibits our pork and Hour,
except in times of war ahd scarcity J Fiance, re
generated h ranee, will never admit you freely into
her West Indies; it she would, I would give htr
the restriction ptoposed.
uniam nrnws irom us in her own ships
(only) till the (lour, livestock, lumber, Indian turn,'
nee, 4vc. th.«t she wants lor her West Indies, and
gives you sugar and rum iu return. The flour, we
are informed, amounts from 15 to G'0,000 barrels
per annum. Shall we then quarrel with her because
she will not employ our vessels to carry, when she
takes Irom us so large a quaintly of the produce of
our lands ? Can this he the interest ol the farmers
ufid milh is ol this country? If merchants suppor
•ted this measure, they might with liulh he said
tii be interested. She in time of waf, or scarcity,
permits our ships to carry to her Islands.
“ It is said, Great ilriluin can obtain supplies
of Imur, &r. lio n no other country. It is true
-lie now d»pends on the United States for supplies,
sor do I wish tii relieve her from a depeudance that
assists to secure to us her peaceable conduct ; —1
doubt that policy which would induce us to push
nations to the necessity of exeri ism" their indus
try to supply themselves elsewhere "with provisi
ons.
“ I have already stated that Portugal during our
revolution, was compelled by necessity, to erect
ca lls, and has ever alter refused to admit your
Ilnur. 1 will give you another instance. Ireland
brihg cut oil by our war from her Usual supplies,
turned her attention to farming—•■what has been
the consequence ?—Why, she has become an ex
porter of wheat, and actually exports this year
more than would supply the whole English West
Indies.
“ Suppose those resolutions should pass—May
not England reject your flour, (.-.s France,Spain and
others do) and thus encourage the Irish to erect
mills. At present it is no object—for their flour
would meet ours in competition : But remove
ours, and what the consequence would he, must be
obvious.
“ 1 lie gentleman has said tost Canada can give
no supply ol, wheat or flour, lie quotes lord Shct
lield s book written in for the government ol
our opinion in 1/9-E lie tells us that Camilla is
compelled to t ike her flour from the United States,
and quotes the year 17JH, when, from the wetnessi
of their seed time (in spring) they had not Keen a
ble to sow one solitary ear ! As well might l say,
that Philadelphia and New-York took their supplies
from Queberk, because a few years past, they
actually bought large parcels of wheat there.
“ Sir, 1 well recollect in the year 1773, to have
seen wheat from Quebeck in every port of the Me
diterranean. In Barcelona there was 50.000 bush
els Irom lb|cnce for sale at one time. In future,
Lower Canada will have no cause to (ear, even if
ten springs slronld be unseasonable ; for Uppir Ca
nada sows the fall wheat, and last year actually (as
1 am informed by an American gentleman friimi
Montreal) sent for exportation 800,000 bushels of
wheat. I he ordinary export from Lowt r Canada,
is three to five hundred thousand bushels. The
same gentleman informs mo, that the English rora
pames, where dhpitals are immense, have beg an tu
creel mills. 1 ask li England, with those and o
ther resources in hoi power, may not be able to sup
ply the West-Indies? Sir, I say thorp is great cause
to fear she will make the attempt.”
Additional F.xtraits from debate on Madison's Re
solutions—Januari•) 1 O', 17 fi 1.
S. Smith, (of-Maryl.md)—“ Spain lias liid a
heavy duly on our llour to encourage her u\vn, hot
not uioi t than on ihat of other nations. She takes
all their (the English) flour ; a great quantity of
"heat, rorii, and lumber, beef, poik, fish, rice,
&r. dec. ffttn us and is our veiy best customer.—
She supplies us with dollars, brandy, wine, fruits,
salt, and silk gondson fair terms. Some of mess
are articles "Inch cannot he procured from the
powers in treaty, and ought we to offend her to
gratify our resentment against England ?
“ Portugal r elusek since our revolution, to take
our flour—in every other respect she is among our
best Iriends; she receives our wheat, rum and ma
ny other arm les—her late conduct calls for our stn
ccrest gratitude. She supplies us with wine, salt,
some EaJt-Fudia goods, lenions, &c. &;c.
“Why should we declare commercial war against
suchaliicnd?
“ It is unt what Critain may suffer by the sys
tem proposed, but the disadvanlage, which will be
the consequence to the United States, that ought
to he taken into consideration. Our duty is not' to
injure others, butp) protect our own interesu”
From the Anti-Jacobin Reiicw.
CHARACTER OF LEWIS XVIIL
At a moment whiyji the universe, our own happy
I iiiii alonf exceptrd, is the prey of anarchy, an<i de
votee) to horror and contusion, a reflecting spirit na
turally looks around lor sonie rally mg point, some
0 j'Cl, whence, and lrom wham, the' blessings of
peace, order, and lelicity, may once more arise to
1 eai the wounds oi suffering humanity, and to re
store deluded man to the paths of duty audsulini
diuation, to the knowledge of his best interests, and
t;> the blessed interchange of social service, the
bond of union, and the seal of happiness f
The philosopher and the philanthropist, allied tn
no party, swayed by no interest but the universal
principle ol peace and good will to all men, “ still
cast around an equal eye.”' I’ndazzhd by imperial'
splendour, it (races the vices that deform a conquer-’
or, and penetiates the veil that affliction, malice,
and ignorance, liaye thrown around a wi e, a virtu
ous, and a persecuted prince! 'lire one glaring in
terrifick radiahee through the world, and spreading^
despair, ruin, and consternation, in wide arid increa
sing Circles; the oilier great ill native goodness,
wailing submissively the will o| linn, “ hy whom
kings govern, and piinies decree justice.”
In dignified solitude, cultivating those talents and
virtues which are alone calculated to secure the hap
piness ol a people and the protection of heaven;
and, il the tear ot keen regret, the sigh of ill-repress
ed sorrow, or the aspirated prayer lor better days,
force a presage from his labouring heart, it ts for
others that he weeps, lor others that he breaths the
trembling sigh, aim hits to heaven the Supplicating
voice; lot the brave, the generous companions of
ms sad exile; the noble and exalted lew who have
stood firm amid a sea ol trouble; the patriot hand,
whom neither persecution conic/ daunt, nor tempta
tion allure from the station where duty and affection
have placed them: for these he asks—the means to
recompense, the means to bless; while lor the delu
ded multitude, bilse to their God as to their king,
lie prays—the power to pardon, and to make them
happy !
In the last asylum of the suffering earth, in our
own unrivalled Britain! famed for arts and arms,
and still more lor the virtues that guards its sacred
shores, this son of sorrow, this illustrious wanderer,'
has found a refuge and a resting place. May the
spirits of peace and hospitality hover round the roof
that shelters suffering royalty ; and from the roast
of Albion may heascind lire throne of his ances
tors, to rt store tranquility and order to the long
distracted world!
The real character of this prince has hitherto
hem little understood, and in some instances grossly
misreprr sented: to shew it as it is, this slight sketch
m iy suffice; though a mere outline, it is faithful,
and drawn by a hand which neither interest nur
partiality has guided. • ;
l>orn to a rank the most elevated, and reared in a
court the mo&t brilliant and seductive, Lewis the
l.ighlet nth, undazzlid hy the splendours that envi
roned him, at a very early period of his life, concei
ved the noble ambition ol rendering the advantages
ol his birth and situation secondary objects of ad
miration. Grandeur could attract only the herd of
flatterers, the parasite dependants of a court; and,
with a mind conscious ol innate wntth, he took a
holder aim;—he would be loved', admired, and es
teemed, not only as a prince, but as a jian! For
this, he gave the hours ol youth to deep c.ysslant
study : Nature was Ins friend ; she had gifted him
with sound judgment, a pure taste, and a retentive
memory'. These advantages, united to a patient
pel severance in the path he had chosen, produced
then natural effect; and all who had the honour to
approach him were astonished hy the variety and
value ol his acquirements, and soon the puhlick opi
nion ol his taienls and genius was such, that many
works ol uncommon merit, of whom the authors
Were unknown, were attributed to him.
1 he misfortunes of tins amiable prince have r,ot
destroyed his taste lor study, though they have
changed its more immediate objet t. In the hours
ol irappiness, when I’rovidence and fortune blessed
mm in a station alike removed from the cares ol
griatii ss, and train personal apprehension, the
c in: mis o I polite literature and the bellesletters bad
principally his homage; but, placed by the deplora
ble martyrdom ol his august brother, and the assas
sination of his nephew, in a posit.on where even
ills mind was no louger his own, he devoted all Us
splendid powers to the increase of that knowledge
"Inch could best serve Ins subjects, when, consci
ous ol their ingratitude, they should seek* peace in
the filter ol his pauiudl anus. History, the law
ol nations, the languages, politicks, and the arts of
government have employed the hours dedicated to
serious oc< upatinn ; while m the sublime precepts of
unbigotted religion, in the study of pure morali
ty and ol trim philosophy, he has at once found a
ronsolation under aluuitiou, and a. pious resignation
to the will of Cod.
ire result ol a lile so passed is obvious : to as
nuicli Knowledge as sur’b perseveranrt ran be Sup
posed to acquire, is united an intellect ut once lutni
uuus and strong; his conversation is instructive and
pleasing, bis reasoning sound and liberal, and his
general manners arc tJegant, persuasive, and digni
fied. I run) the hereditary courage of the Bourbons,
Lewis-the Eighteenth has, in many personal insttin
crt, shewn that he is no apostate} and his noble re
ply when the Usurper proposed to him the renuHcin
tiun ut the throne of Trance, proved that no one is
more worthy to ascend it.
A strong and natural regret follows this convic
tion. 1 hus worthy, thus endowed by nature and
education, hud he been presented to his deceived a ml
erring people, would not bis talents, his virtues jn)
sufferings, and their own hearts, have draw , j,j,
standard a great majority, who1, percha*- ce * im

Might not the blood-stained u%ur hltv^nn siljri

l'erhaps it is not yet too lats to indulge the h<pc
of an event so ardently to be desired ; and, should
