LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 13u.

THE-

We have received the Paris Papers of Sunday. The
foreign news they contain is principally copied fr3m the
London Journals of last week. On Monday, after hearing
the report relative to the pensions of the surviving Swiss,
who defended the Tuileries on the memorable 10th of
August, 1792, the discussion of the Law of Sacrilege was
to commence in the Chamber of Deputies.

It appears by the Constitotionnel, that the Powers of the
Holy Alliance begin to perceive the necessity of relaxing
the system of oppression they have practised towards the
smaller States of Germany. They foresm that the en-
lightened and independent policy of the English Govern-
ment may be productive of some inconvenience to them, by
inducing the oppressed States to look abroad for their de-
liverance. With these feelings, the Courts of Russia and
Austria have consented to restore the Court of Wirtemberg
to their Imperial favour, and Ministers have accordingly
been appointed to proceed to Stuttgardt, and resume the
friendly relations f4merly subsisting between these Courts.
The King of WIIITEMBEIG, it will be remembered, was
in disgrace, on account of the stand he had made in
defence of the constitutional liberties of his people.
The most important article in these papers is that which
we have extracted from the Courrier Francais. The prin-
cipal bankers and merchants of Paris, to the numbers of
sixty, have addressed the KING, for the purpose of soli-
citing his Majesty to follow the example of England with
regard to South America. Similar addresses are expected
from Bordeaux, and all the Chambers of Commerce in the
kingdom. The address of the bankers and merchants of
Paris, which we have given at full length, is a document
of great importance at this moment. It is written with
ability and temperance, and reveals some interesting facts
as to the trade between France and the New States of
America. On the subje:t of this address the Etoile of
Monday has a aeries of remarks, of which the following
are the principal :
" We do not blame.tbo step they have taken, but we wish to
make them easy respecting the future.
" The Government has said to the merchants, ' Go to America,
you are permitted to which they reply—' We do go, but protect
us there as everywhere else.'
" This is very well, and it seems clear that the Government does
protect them. We learn from the English journals that a French
ship of BO guns and other vessels had been to Ls Guayra to demand
the restoration of the Urania, a French vessel taken by a Colombian
privateer, on pretext of having a Spanish cargo on board.
" The message of M. Santander speaks of the arrival of some
Frenchmen, whose object seems to be to visit Colombia, and exa-
mine the state of affairs ; which indicates that our Government has
its eves open to all that part of the Continent. The French
squadron in the South Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and wherever they
are wanted, surely protect our merchantmen ? Do not agents in
Brazil and wherever they are useful, afford our trade support and
defenders ? Has not the French Government obtained from King
Ferdinand a Royal Decree, opening to all nations the Spanish Co-
lonies; and is there in all the stipulatiors of the new Republics
anything particular to any one Power?
" Neither the United States, who have recognized these Repub-
lics these two years, nor England, which has made treaties and sent
Consuls to the Authorities that might be established (the terms
of his Britannic Majesty's letter), have obtained any advantages ;
the tariff is the same for English, French, and American vessels."
Quoting the statements in the address relative to the commerce
actually carded on, the Etoile says—
" 11, ado not see any reason to be alarmed for our new relations
with the Spanish, or dread their interruption.
" What remains then but the desire of protection by Consuls and
treaties ? But this is the political question, for we have shown that
the commercial interests are duly. protected. In this case we may
observe to the persons who have signed the Address, that this part
of their application is a question of Government, which must be left
to the wisdom of the Blimarch, whose royal soul, wholly engaged
in the welfare of his subjects, knows all that must be done for the
interest of France and for its dignity, which is also an interest of
j first order."

The arrival of every foreign mail confirms more strongly
the opinions we have expressed as to the effvct that would
be produced on the Continent by the late speeches and
measures of Mr. Hv SKISSON for the general reduction of
duties on the importation of foreign commodities. The
suspicions that were entertained against the liberal system
pursued by his MAJESTY'S Government are rapidly fading
away before the continually accumulating proofs of their
sincerity. The important truth that all nations are directly
interested in promoting each other's prosperityiis felt and
understood by the whole commercial world; and the mer-
chants of other countries are beginning everywhere to be
desirous especially of an unshackled intercourse with Eng-
land, which, as containing the richest population, must be
williag awl. able to exchange the greatest amount of saki,
able goods.. Some of the Continental Governments seem to
be far behind their subjects in appreciating the benefits of
free trade ; but supposing them to remain, as they appear
to be at present, ignorant of the first principles of political
economy, the influence of .public opinion and the example
of the States that follow the liberal system of England,
will not allow them to persevere for many years in their
absurd and bigoted views. Meanwhile, we shall reap the
advanstges of the improved and extended intercourse with
the nations that may be disposed to art on principles of re-
ciprocal liberality.
A 'larnburgh Mail arrived yesterday, bringing letters
and papers from different parts of the North of Europe.
At Hamburgh, the proposed alteration in our commercial
system appears to have given great satisfaction. From
Stockholm it is stated that negotiations are supposed to be
on foot with England, as to further modifications of the
prohibitory laws respecting British goods, and also colonial
produce. At Brussels, and throughont Flanders and Hol-
land, there is a perfect unanimity of opinion, that the re-
daction of the import duties will prove advantageous to
the manufactures of tire Netherlands.

13-11ITISII PRESS.

decessors, he delivered on being sworn into office, is, like
1710111 of the American state papers, written in a clear, mo-
derate, and impressive style. A consid.rable portion of it
is devoted to a comprehensive review of the nature and
history of the Federal Government. The principal mea-
sures of the Administration of the late President are then
recapitulated, and followed by a declaration that the same
general course will be pursued by his successor. Mr.
ADAMS dwells with great earnestness on the desirableness
and duty of discarding every remnant of party rancour,
and he particularly recommends Congress to proceed in
their great system of internal improvement. He con-
cludes with a very delicate and appropriate allusion
to the circumstances under which his election took
place ; and he observes, that being less possessed of
their confidence in advance than any of his predeces-
sors; he will stand more and oftener in treed of their
indulgence. After the oath of office had been alminis-
tered to him by the Chief Justice of the United States, we
observe with pleasure that his late antagonist, General
JACKSON, was among the first who offered his congratu-
lations to the new PRESIDENT. The other unsuccessful
candidate, Mr. Ca awroßD,has resigned his office as Secre-
tary of the Treasury, and retired altogether from public life.
On the day after his inauguration, the PRESIDENT nomi-
nated Mr. CLAY to be Secretary of State, Mr. RuSH Secre-
tary of the Treasury, Mr. BASSO un Secretary of NVar, and
Mr. EYSRETT Minister to Spain. These appointments
have been all confirmed by the Senate. Mr. Jost. Pot 8-
SETT has also been appointed Minister to Mexico. Mr.
Da WITT CLINTON, It Is stated, has declined the appoint-
ment of Minister to London. The Session of Congress
closed on the 9th of March, on which day the Senate re-
jected the Convention lately formed with Colombia in re-
lation to the African gave trade, having, by a vote of '2B to
12, stricken out the fist article, giving the mutual right of
search on the seas andcoasts of Africa and the West Indies.
The news in these Papers from South America has been
anticipated by the direct arrivals from that quarter. In a
New York Paper of the 15th of March, we find it stated,
that the port of Trinidad, Cuba, was blockaded on the 28th
of February, by a Ctiombian squadron ; but the particular
object of the blocked., was not known.

We observe, by the Order Book of the House of Com-
mons, that the Committee on the Quarantine Laws Bill is
fixed for to-morrow evening. In determining respecting
the propriety of maintaining or abolishing sanitary laws, of
which Quarantine and Lazarettos are a branch, the ques-
tion at issue is not what are the real causes of plague and
other epidemic diseases, bet whether a specific contagion
be the cause or any part of the cause of those maladies?
This question is of course to be decided by facts, not by
opinions or authority ; and it appears that there exist abun-
dance of incontrovertible facts, each of which, taken sepa-
rately, may be considered as conclusive, and when com-
bined, as irresistible. Of these we need advert only to a
few. The first fact, or rather principle, is, that plague
and other epidemic maladies obey laws which are not only
different from, but opposed to, those of contagious general
diseases, with which alone they can be confounded. It has
been proved in detail, in Dr. 31.scaemes works, that pes-
tilential diseases observe exclusively the laws of epidemics,
of which they are but the higher degrees: this, were there
no other proof against the existence of contagion, as the
cause, or any part of the cause, of this class of maladies,
would alone be sufficient ; but there are many. The
attendants on the sick in the Greek Pest Hospital at Con-
stantinople, where the Doctor made his experiments in
1813, although in intimate contact with a constant succes-
sion of patients, neither took the disease themselves nor
communicated it to others, in their daily visits to the
bazaars or market places. This also is a fact which alone
must be deemed to be conclusive, unless the saute disease
may be sometimes contagious and at other times not. A
similar result was observed in the town of Larnica in 1739,
where many persons ill of the plague, who had landed
from a wrecked vessel, died of pestilence, without any of
the inhabitants, with whom they had free intercourse,
being at all affected. The plague ravaged Larnici the fol-
lowing year at the usual season, without any importation
of shipwrecked persons. In the Levant, the unwashed
unpurified clothes of persons who have died of the plague
are worn without any ill effects by persons in full health.
No plague case has ever arrived in England or in Holland,
the two greatest commercial depots, by ships, goods, or per-
sons, during the centuries of intercommunication between
these countries and the Levant : they were more frequently
afflicted with the disease at periods when no intercourse
existed with that part of the world. It has never been
introduced by Turkish caravans into Persia, or by Turkish
merchandise into India. The absence also of all affirma-
tive proof is alone a sufficient support of the negative pro-
position. The obvious conclusion from the whole is, that
Quarantine Laws are without either foundation or object.
But this is by no means their worst result; for they are
positively and highly pernicious to many of the best inte-
rests of communities, and more especially destructive of
that health and life which it is their professed object to
preserve.

And by what evidence are we called upon to believe in
the existence of such an agent? By assertions calculated
to operate on our fears, and to silence our reason. But
the most extraordinary circumstance is, that the advocates
of contagion should appear blind to the inconsistency of
recommending any diminution of the quarantine restric-
tions, for the accemmodation of commerce, whilst it follows
directly and obviously from their own principles, that
these restrictions, if of any use, ought to be universally
extender" Tate antikiiirof their creed, as deducible from
their evidence before the Committee on Foreign Trade, is
this: " We believe in the existence of pestilential con-
tagion : we believe that the virus of epidemic diseases may
remain in an active state in goods for months or years: we
believe that quarantine restrictions are necessary, and effi-
cient to prevent its importation am! diffusion through the
community: yet we believe a quarantine of a file days to
be sufficient precaution against a contagion that may re-
main in an active state iu goods fur months or years!"—
Credo yuia incredibile est. %Ire are further told of the ex-
perience of persons who have been in the Levant, in mat-
ters of plague contagion. As well might we be told of the
" experience" of children educated by nurses in the High-
lands of Scotland, in matters of ghosts, witches, warlocks,
and Ben-sheae. A residence in the Levant, so far from
giving experience in this matter, has hitherto generally
disqualified the multitude of travellers from judging cor.
reedy of the nature of the plague, because they almost
invariably derive their whole information from persons
who have too much apprehension of the malady ever to
approach it, or to be able to form any correct judgment
respecting its origin. In fact, experience of the practice ff
quarantine is, in Christian eountriea, confounded with
experience of the nature of plague. Of this we have seen
striking instances in tb.e medical evidence adduced before
the Committee on Foreign Trade last year. 'Live the

.II

Turks, then, no experience of plague? Oh! but they
are fatalists! And have they no desire to live? Or have
they been exterminated? Such undoubtedly would have
been their fate long ago, had the plague, which is un-
doubtedly a disease capable of affecting. the same person
repeatedly, depended upon a specific contagion.
There is, we are happy to perceive, a certainty that his
MAJ orgy's Government will adopt efficient measures for
promptly verifying the state of this question, in order that
full justice may be done, on the one hand, to the commer-
cial and other interests, which suffer from the existing
restrictions in so many parts of the world ; and that, on
the other hand, the public mind may be completely tran-
qu:llized respecting the absence of all danger from the
total abolition of the system. But it is, we must say, not
creditable on the part of some of the medical advocates of
the doctrine of pestilential contagion, instead of fairly and
openly meeting the facts and arguments of their opponents,
to endeavour, by clamour, unnecessarily to excite the ap-
prehensions of the multitude.

CITY, TVISDAY EVEXIYO.
This was settling day in Consols, and, contrary to ex-
pectation, they were considerably depressed. One cause
for the decline was attributed to the reported Congress of
Allied Sovereigns at Milan ; but we incline to the belief
that the Buil account was the principal reason for it.
However, the day went off smoothly, and we believe
there was no defaulter. The transactions were 92ii for
Money, and 9311 for the Account.
In the Foreign Market there was a continued dulinosi,
and but few bargains were concluded in it. South Ame-
rican Securities were languid; Colombian Bonds were at
90 801, and Mexican Scrip at par to 1 premium ; Brazilian
ditto was at 211, and Danish 2i 2. The Greek Bonds were
at 511 52, and the Scrip qi ; Old Spanish Bonds were
firm at 2311, and those of I 523 at 184. A new Peruvian
Loan is expected out in a short time. It is stated that a
large part of it is to be sent to Colombia, for the re-
payment of the expenses of the campaign ; the balance is
to be employed in the settlement of the affairs of that
country.
The Mining Shares may be quoted generally lower, and
the market was heavy ; the' e was a little business doing in
the Pasco Peruvian Company, at 151. The Rio de la
Plata Agricultural Shares were lower this morning, but a
rise in diem was confidently expected. The Imperial Plate
Glass Shares steadily maintained yesterday's price; they
were sought after at 2 premium, under the impression that
they would be better. The Honduras an,' Yucatan Com-
pany's Shares came out this morning, and at one time
reached 3 premium. There is a great deal of interest ex-
cited in the City respecting the Borneo Association, which
is expected to come out at a high premium, from the
advantages that are anticipated from it.
In the Colonial market, Havannah Coffle was sold at
from 2s. to 3r. per cwt. lower than the nominal price;
good ordinary was sold at 70s. and 715.; fine ordinary at
735. and 755.; and some were sold at 775. 6d. There was a
good deal of business done in the Sugar market, at prices a
shade lower than before the holidays, but buyers seem more
inclined to come forward than at that period.

Yesterday the Duke of Dorset, the Marquis of Anglesea,
the Earl of Rosslyn, Sir Henry Torrens, Ike. waited on the
Duke of York, at his Office in the Horse Guards. About
a quarter past four o'clock his Royal Highness held
levee, which was attended by between fifty and sixty mili-
tary officers and others. Among those present weee—
Lieuterani-Genend Lord Combermere, Colonel Finch. Captain
Gau tins, of the Royal Duke's Staff; Lieutenant-General the Earl
of Rosalyn, General Sir Wm. lloustown, Lord Stanley, Major_
General Stuart, Alajor-General Win. Stuart, Major-General Sir
Charles Greville, Major_General Griffith., Lieutenant-General
Stevenson, 11Iajor-General Murray, General Sir John Doyle, des
Earl of Leitrim, and Rear-Admiral Sir Chutes Rowley.
The Princess Augusta took an airing yesterday in the
Palk'.

ment which appeared in an Edinburgh Paper lately, that
on Mr. Murray announcing the engagement of Mr. Kean
to perform here, a gentleman stood up in the boxes and
protested against his appearance. Such an announcement

symptoms are perceived, and also setons applied to the
chest and thighs.—Journal des Debets.
