LEIPZIG, JULY O.

Trade is now more doll than it ever was before.
There is a want both of money and of confidence.
It is dificolt for any one to obtain money without
actual security, and if the wait of confidence in-
creases as it has done hitherto, trade most suffer
mill more. The forwarding trade, as they here
call it, has almost wholly left os. Several causes
are assigned. Some of them may be easily re-
moved by an enlightened a Government as that of
Saxony; for example, by improving the roads and
lessening the transit duties. It may be reasonably
expected that pains will be taken to investigate the
causes of the evils which are so injurious to the
trade of Leipzig, and means to remove them will
sot be hard to find: when Leipzig coffers, the
whole kingdom feels the effects. It is singular
that though trade declines, the number of inhabi-
tants increases, many coming from the neighbour.
hood to settle here. The same is 'the case in the
villages in the kingdom of Sunny, where many
persons from other countries purchase land, parti-
cularly farmers who have ebildren.—( Nwresalkerg

LON DON,
TUESDAY, JOLT st, ism.

A Ministerial Print of yesterday states that the
excess of the public Revenue in the week before
last, above the corresponding week of 11117, was
1131.000/. and that of last week 1115,0001. tusking.
in the short space of one fortnight, an increase to
the amount of 436,0001., being at the rate of above
eleven► millions a year, which is an improvement
greatly exceeding even the expectations of the
Cm•weaLLoa of the EICNIQUICR, who stated in
the House of Commons i►l the late Oil 08 of
Parliament the improvement of the public Re.
venue. as compared with last year, to be in the
ratio of only £OO,OOOL per week. The same
Paper *dale, " We believe there is no instance
upon record of • country recovering so ra-
pidly from the depression created by a long war;
nor could such an instance now occur, if wisdom
and energy did not preside over our national Coun-
cils."—That this improvement affords abundant
grounds for congratulation, no one will deny; but
it is somewhat curious and whimsical to attribute
it to the wisdom and energy of Ministers. Foreign
and domestic trade, arts and industry, are, we be-
lieve, the ses! sources of revenue. If any measures
or regulations adopted by Ministers have extended
and enriched these sources, they are certainly so far
entitled to credit for the improvement; but until
this is alsewn to be the case, we are disposed to con-
sider the compliment paid to them by the Treasury
Print as only as. effusion of its habitual Battery.
The depression created by • long war can only be
remedied by a long peace, and the country now be-
gins to feel the benefits of • peace that promises
to be long and solid. This is the natural course
of things, growing out of a system, civil. politi-
cal, and counnser►ial, that existed before Ministers
came into power. and which. if left to their
own wisdom and energy, they would have de-
teriorated, and not improved. If domestic indnstry
and foreign commerce do not now languish from
excessive taxation sad public extravagance, they
can claim no merit for the exemption from
those public ends. It is not their fault that
we have not a peace Income Tax, the Malt
Tax. and many others, that would have continued
to cramp industry and paralyze exertion. So far
as economy and retrenchment assist notional in-
dustry. it t• to the Opposition, who successfully
contended fur these goods, and not to the " wisdom
and energy" of Ministers, who fought hard against
them. the country is indebted for the improve-
ment in the Revenue.

We have received German Pipers to the 13th
instant. It is stated, under the hew a Frank-
fort, July 6, that " M. KUPFiIi, Secretary to
the Prussian Legat. to the Diet, is gone
express to Berlin. The deliberations on the
military organisation of the German Confedera-
tion have hitherto been confined to the ques-
tion respecting the furinstion and composition
of the several divisions ■nd corps of which the
Army of the Confederation is to consist. The line
of defence and ha.is of operations in case of an
attack on the territory of the Confederation, is di-
rected only towards the Nest, and hence it has
been proposed to divide the army into two grand
divisions, a western and a south-western. With
respect to the creation of new fortresses on the
western frontier of Germany, it is not yet agreed
whether the great expense that will attend the
creation of them shall be borne in proportion by
all the Members of the Confederation, or only by
those in whose territories it may he found advise-
able to build such fortresses.

veral German powers, respecting the German Ca-
tholic Church. Baron Wangeishriin, at the con•
elusion of his opening speech, observed, that it

are given in our preceding coluitenv.

An article in a Dutch Paper, received yesterday,
asserts, that the new French plot was bat an ebulli-
tion of the personal discontent of some superior
Officer* in the army, upon what they conceive to he
a disregard to their !befits; and should these persons
joie themselves to the Ultra-Royalitet and " went
their complainingt" against the Ministers in a louder
tone than usual, and project some means in them-
selves, fair and constitutional, to deprive the Mi-
nisters of their places, no doubt these representa-
tives of Majesty would endeavour to denounce such
antagonists as traitors to the State, and designate
their own probable loss of power as the precursor of
the Monarch's ruin, and of the destruction of the
Constitution. It is certain that the Ministers are
ridiculed in Paris for endeavouring to lend import
once to such a trine.

The vintage in the several parts of France is re.
presented, in the Paris Papers received yesterday,
as being more abundant than has been known for
many years. This is expressed by the forcible,
though probably exaggerated phrase, that it is im-
possible to primate sufficient vessels to receive it.
The rye harvest has commenced in Champagne,
Brie, wad thicOtary about Paris, and is also said
to be exceedingly abuntleat. The other tteirvetts
give an early promise. Fo► a number of years the
districts of Picardy, Artois, and French Flanders,
had nut presented the appearance of equally rich
crops.

Dutch and Hantburghls have •nived, with
papers of recent dates. It is stated as a report iti
letters from the French frontier, that the Emperor'
of Avsrata and Itussta, and the King of Pausst a,
will go from Aix-la-Chapelle to Paris in case the
result of the approaching Congress shall be io favour
of withdrawing the Army of Occupation, and that
they will rtvirw their respective contingents previous
to their departure. The Emperor of Runt A 1115

We have received New Orleans Papas to the
23d of May; but they contaia au new..

It is with regret we have to communicate the par-
ticulars of an attempt on the part of the cosnufac-
torero of Stockport to compel an advance of wages.
There are several account.. The following ill ex-
tracted from a private letter:—

" We are unit* eouceroed to state that Stockport has
been a scene of seriess disturbance this week. The evil
disposition of a numerous body of work-people, who here
struck fur as advance of wages, has manifested itself
by attacking the power-loons factory of Mr. Garside,
s the head and front' of whose offence was giving em-
ployment to some females, who were engaged at Burton-
upon-Treat, to continue that occupation which they had
spontaneously relinquished. The windows were one and all
demolished. The Yeomanry Cavalry were called orb, but they
were iodides. in numbers, and several adieus were hurt by
the populace ; on Thursday at aoou, a troop of the 13Th Light
Dragoons arrived from our Barracks, sad exerted themselves,
upon which occasion Serjeaat Corktoo sustained • serious
injury. One-and-twenty persons have been apprehended en
• charge of rioting, six of whom have been committed to
Lancaster Castle, and the others are remoulded for further
examiaatioa."

At Manchester the spinners still continue refrac-
tory, though their conduct hitherto has been accom-
panied by no violence or outrage.

Several Papers relating to the affairs of India
were, a short time previous to the dissolution of
the late Parliament, ordered by the House of
Commons to be printed. The order has just been
completed, and we hasten to present our readers
with several extracts from the dispatches, advice',
and narratives relative to the origin and progress of
the discussions which terminated in hostilities with
the PICISHWAH, or the nominal head of the Msh.
faits Powers. Our limits prevent us from pub-
lishing in one number even such extract+ as will
be thought necessary fur giving • general sketch of
the proceedings adopted by Mr. ELPHINIITOIIB,
the British Resident at Poona ; we are therefore
unwillingly compelled to divide them into two por-
tions, of which the first appears in our present
uumber.

These documents will be found highly interest-
ing, from the proofs they afford that the present,
or as we trust we may now say. the late war be.
tween the British Government and the PEMIWAM,
was caused solely by the arts and machinations
of the latter. It was manifestly the interest of
the Court of Poona, to cultivate the friendship
of the British power in trula.i, and by pursu.
ing this simple and obvious line of policy. the
PIISHWAH had long enjoyed the security af-
forded by its protection. The PEISHWAII, how.
ever. in an evil hour, listened to the ainhitious pro-
jects of one Talmeocusis, who had been a
attendant on his Highness, and submitted himself
blindly to this man's discretion. It will be seen
from these documents now published, that for the
purpose of arranging some difficulties between the
PEISHW•H and the GulcitSVAit, the Minister of the
latter repaired to Poona, under the solemn guaran-
tee of the British Resident. The Minister Gum.

OADMIO. IiAitTRY wart barbarously murdered, and
under such circumstances av could leave no 1101311 t
that the asamerination had been liernetrated by the
orders of TRlNlnucKralt. Ur. ELPOINSToNE,
course, felt himself bound to require of the
WAN to institute an immediate inquiry into slw
event, and openly accused Taimuucture of the
murder. The Pulsing.tn wavered awl hesitated,
but Mr. Et.rnt NaToa oda firm; and after tout b
negociatiun and difficulties, TRIMBOCKJEE was de.
livered into the hands of the Britialt.

The murderer, however, was enabled by the
PEISIMAn's assistance to effect his escispe from
prison, and being concealed, protected, and assisted
by Isis Highness, at length -tsucceetled in raising a
gang of desperate folloiners, to the 1110411ber of
about 4.000 men. With these lie committed
various excesses against the British and their friend•.
Mr. ELPIIINSTONE demanded of the PEISAWAII
that his favourite should be proclaimed a rebel,
bat the PLPIIIWAII declared there was no rebellion.
In the mean time Isis Llighoess secretly issued orders
that all his troops should approach Poona ; that
soldiers should be levied ; that his fortresses should
be garrisoned and provisioned ; and yet its the spirit
of dissimulation which has ever distinguished the
Mahratta Princes, he at the same moment autho-
rised the seizure of TRISISUCKJet, and surrendered
three of his strongest forts to the British as proofs
of his sincerity. Fortunately Mr. EI.PUINSTOISE
was too well apprised of his character to he de-
ceived by such appearances, so that when the
Pxtsuw,►e, having at length completed hisschemes,
threw oif all disguise by attacking the British
troaps and burning the Residency at P 004114 Mr.
Eneittuteroxt had by his &Mlles% foresight, and
energy, provided a British force sufficient to
repel the aggression, maintain the lilmour and
superiority of his country, and p his the
PIAIIIIWAH for his treachery and folly This
brief statement, tubstautiated as it is by &cu.
mute, will, we doubt not, prove satisfactorily
that the hostilities which lately agitated that part of
India did not arise from any ambitious projects
upon the part of the British Government. but are
fairly attributable to the oititcoudoct of the Court
of Poona. War, however. in India, is at sill
times to be lamented, The consequences which it
is calculated to produce not only upon the temper,
and habits, and feelings of the conquered, but even
upon the stability slow own empire, by injudiciously
eateuding its limits, can never be compensated by
the splendour of victory. It is in one respect satis-
factory to think that we have not provoked hostili-
ties, and that the evil has, in the present instance,
been obviated its a very great degree by wisdom and
energy ; but it is by no memos consolatory to think
that we are thus exposed on every occasion, by no
fault of our own. to dangers which no prudence
can prevent, and that there exists even in Princes ele-
vated to the musaud by British power, and long
thought to be depeesdaut upon British generosity
for their support, amb►ttion and strength sufficient
to disturb oar repose, and to agitate the whole
peninsula of India by their military projects.

Lord CASTLSREACII has fixed the time of his de-
parture for the Congress of Sovereigns. lie is to
set out in the first week in September, and hopes to
return by the meeting of Parliament in November.
It is not the intention of Ministers that it should
meet either for the dispatch of business. airless hi
the event of so occurrence which is but toe probable.
If that event should take place before the 4th of
August. Parliament would meet on the return of
the waits.—( Evereing Paper.)

It is said that Mr. PEEL, is about to make the
tour of Europe. and that he will continue abroad
for two years. Politicians do not fail to draw con.
elusiosis from this resolu►ion of the young and pro-
mis:ng Statesman. The ',reference ,hewn to Mr.
ROBINSON would not, perhaps, have given rise to
this step. if the result of the General Election had
not suggested to taint the prudence of keeping
sloof!—(loid.)

The number of new Members aimed!, returned
to Parliament, amount• to lii.

The Cu ANCEL Loa of the Elmo' &Kat etas grant-
ed n sum of 500/. for the relief of the inhabitants
of Scilly and Islands. It is stated, however, by
the Cornwell Gazelle. that 1.0001. at least is ne.
ce.sary to satisfy their present necessities, and from
4,0001. to 3.0001. to establish mackerel and pilchard
fisheries, as the only mea►ure of permanent sup-
port. The same paper strongly recommends the
opening of subscriptions for that charitable purpose.
