boat night we received the Paris Papers of Saturday,
nom which we give copious extracts in another col
The Astrid des llettgl is occupied with the task of pros
i”r, the Infamy of the French ministerial doctrine, that the
end justifies the means ; and it remarks, with ludicrous pro-
-I.e edit y, that Cie Lilo and M. rat. Viii t,.e are not agreed
as to that positiom. The Cllnllit!iliGll,l4 has a dissertation
I.n the burial of the actor Ihltt.trrn. Neither of these ar-
ticles would be in the least interesting to our English
readers. The Covet ice Freincaig is engaged in ili).;•iissing
the more Important question relating to the right of infi-
nite, to change their place of abode, and lix their rate of
wages. This paper laments the ignorvoice of the French in
all mitten of trade. "Is it not humiliating," it exclaims,
" that the French, who, in science, literature, and the tine
lets, are at least as well informed as the inhabitants of
lireat Britain, should fall so far behind them u to every
question respecting political economy ?" This discussion
1).11 originated in the ferment excited among the silk-ma-
nufacturers at Lyons, in consequerce of Ilse prozress made
lately by our weavers. The Court ire rrancais toys truly,
" :UN! workmen 4:1111 he produced only by the perfect
ecdom of trade, !the Spirit of association, and the Ault-
dame of capital. A nation which has these elements of
resperity will soon have workmen who will raise its
manufactures above competition. These simple and ob-
vious truths are well understood by the English Mini-
sters, Messrs. RIO DIN MON, HUSK gem's , and Peel..' The
:.;ournaliat concludes, that though it will he lung before
France will art on the enlightened principles of English
leeidation with rtspt et to these subjects, the debates that
will take place in the course of the Inosecntions
mitituterl against the parties at Lyons, fur endeavouring
to seduce the French wearers to come to this country, will
fleetly be productive uf the most beneficial molts, by lead-
ing the legislators of France to follow that litxral system,
which we, on this side of the channel, have found to
Le to advantageous. The Etude of Sunday gives an se•
ceunt of the defeat of the Egypt i squadron, from which
the loss of the Molionietans would not nenii to have beta

tom the Jamaica Papers we received yesterday. we
bars:extracted a letter of some importance f the Colom-
bian Nlinister, Senor lieu, to Sir IsawasNer li At slues,
our Naval Cotoniander-in-Chirf in the West Indies, ft'S•
per:ting a flOtt C131111t31 by the new ItepUbile to interdict
all commercial intercourse with the Mosquito shore, except
on such terms as the ('el Man Government may think• tit
•o This extraordinary interference with the trade
1-ftwcen the %Vest Indies and the Initiate coast, is foil:tiled
upon a preposterous assumption of the right of do iii ll ion
over the Mosquito shore, as far as Cape Gracie* a Dios
4r,ailiff this territory was formerly irclueled within the Spa-
nish province of New Grenada. The Cohnithian Govern-
ment claims to succeed as the inheritor of all the pretensions
set up by Spain, when she exercised leer authority over the
pros mceo of which the Republic is composed. Senor tie At.
e.etruestels that " the porseessien of all the power and dominion
ulnas Sra.iti illairstailiel over the lands, as well cultivated as
uncultivated. of New t irenaela. is now rested in the Republic
of Colombia." This we base no hesitation in denouncing as
a sue.t,streris and intolerable doctrine ; it is as nefarious in
P‘ccipsle as the Board of Clair which Loco XIV. used
te-insliatats: in his newly-annexed territories, in order to
disarm what pretensions hr could raise in right of them to
wise upon the adjacent country. Col.( ...Ma has net as yet
c ar.!•ftlal to any right belonging to Spain. Sh, is entitled

to the excitise of an itidependent authority within the li-
mits actually occupied by her population; butbeyond those
limits, it is not to be borne that this Power of yesterday
should avail Bull' of an artificial claim of Spain, to forbid
the British or any other people from trading with the set-
tlers on the Mosquito Coast. I t is admitted that the Republic
has no establishment ou these Coasts, but, says the Colom-
bian Minister,' this is no reason why she should not exercise
over them the dominion which she has lawfully acquired."
Senor GuAr. very dexterously begs the whole question, viz.
the right of dominion by the Colombian Government over the
Mosquito shore ; and he then concludes, soundly enough,
that England has no reason to complain, because her inter-
course with the settlers is cut off: lint let us oak, how did
the Republic of Colombia "lawfully acquire this de-
n:Minn ?" States may, between each other, mark out and
fix the limits of unoccupied territory, which lies contiguous
to their posiaessions, as the English and North Americans
did with Is erect to the boundaries between Canada and
the United Stairs. The dominion over the territory within
the lines of dentareation is thus " lawfully acquired" by
each Government. But when the Emperor of RUSSIA, some
time ago, issued an imperial ukase, annexing to his empire
an immense tract of the western shores of North America,
was it considered by England or the United States that the
At root ‘T bad, by that simple act of his will, " lawfully
acquire I," the dominion which he claimed ? Certainly
not ; and be was soon compelled formally to renounce it.
Nor because Colombia, in what she may call a " primitive
and fundamental law," has thought proper to include
within her limits a line of coast oil which she has not a
single resident, does it follow that she is entitled to inter-
dict our commerce with the natives. Even if we had ac-
knowledged a right in Spain to exercise dominion over this
coast, Colombia could not pretend to succeed to it. Spain
has ceded none of her rights to Colombia. The Re-
public has indeed established its independence, but that
is a widely different question from its right to set up
pretensions to dominion over adjoining vreitory, because,
forsooth, the Spaniards bad, previous to their expulsion,
claimed an authority ova it ! The Colombians have
achieved their own independence, but they have not, ac-
cording to any principle of the laws of nations, acquired any
right to seise upon adjacent tatritoty. The Republicans
must curb their ambition. It is quite absurd fur them to
calculate upon compelling the British Government to ac-
knowledre the Republic, in order that " a special agree-
ment" may be concluded for the abolition of the restric-
tions they have, without colour of justice, imposed upon
our trade with the lusquito coast. 111'1; ur o a might as
well forbid us, on the plea that he hail proclaimed his
sovereignty over Poyair ; and, indeed, he would have a'
better ground, fur he bad at least attempted to make a
setticintait.

The affair of Futures the actor has, we learn, re-
dacts' a strung and very general impression on the Parisian
populace. " A-bas les P.etres"—" A-Isis Des Caktias," are
inscriptions which have since then frequently appeared
upon the walls of the churches during the day, and have
at night been effaced by the palice. We fear the clerical'
authorities in France will go on until they will provoke
mom hostility than they will ho well able to combat.
Their party is distinguished at once by its violence and its
weakness ; if they mean to fight the battles of the Revo-
lution over again, their policy ; if they do
not, they sadly want both prudence and foresight, to
sound, as they do, the note of preparation.
11`hat spell of fully could have induced the clergy to
force themselves, as it were, upon the public displessufe,
by refusing to open the church-doors to the soortil remains
of Pm tiers: ? Does the profession of an actor necessarily
so corrupt his life, and taint his moral Amnia, as to ren-
der him untie to enter into the kingdom of !leaven? If
this he so, then is 'i.e Severe/ire and the Goverment of
Franc: guilty, beyond all nations, in holding forth to this
profession every possible encouragement—in taking its
members under their especial patronage in maintaining
snore th .bees at the public expense, in Paris alone, than
is to be found in the capitals of any five kingdoms in Ea-
rope—aml these too at such enty prices of admission as to
give an entrance to the cury lowest classes, and courting
the crowd by every diversity, whether of &alma, melo-
dramas, opera, vaudeville, pantomime, and petite, pkees,
in which acting can be made to furnish diversion and dr.
light !! flow can all this be, if the profession due actor
contains within itself the principhst of its own corruption,
111161 ' 're to its own depravity? If to escape from the
charge of being an accessary, you admit,—as in truth and
co iiiii son justice you must,—that a man of talents us the
stage may be as kind a friend--as indulgent a father—as
faithful a subject—and as honest a mass, as if he folluweal
any other profession, or filled any other station of life,
then what insensate 30.11 is that which refuses to consign
to Me earth, with the accustoms' antes 111 l dieser Christian
lonia!, the remains of one who, confessedly, may be as fit
to enter Hearne, and as likely—ah, more likely—to be re-
ceived into it, than any one of those who, in the venous of
their priestly bigotry, would spit upon his shmud?
The Almighty, in his benevolence, has endowed his
creatures with various gifts, which fit them for the endless
diversities of their condition here below ; and are those
who devote their talents to the moral amusement of man-
kind, and to the instructive cheerfulness of the age in
which they live—are they to be treated, when dead, mews
probates and outcasts? When we think on the Daisies of
TAcass, of La Feels, of Ileum sr, can we help asking,
with indignation, is it because a man, when living, lass
been an actor, that the high priests of that religion, whose
spirit is forlwasance, amid whose essence is charity, ore to
rush between the altar and his grave, and to scuffle with
the interment of his corpse? If the clergy of France will,
by such an exhibition of their spirit and their chew-
ter. expose themselves to be deservedly stigmatised, the
fault is their own. They will do wisely, however, to
pause before they again reedure on acts of a similar COlll
plesion ; or they may chance, in the next exercise of their
authority, to excite an outcry of •' .1-bas l.s p.'rcs,"
which may kave them no time to count their beads.

We wish well to the true interests of France ; we
would have her clergy loveil and iesprettal; Gut to be so,
they must alter their course, and change their policy.
They may Hatter themselves,—and we fear they do,—that
their church stands upon a r.a.b ; but let them rmenibm
that they have care already split the key-stono of the
fabric, and that it has been by no means so eenhintil,
within the last thirty years, as to harden it to the endur-
ance of a eeoail shock.
