jedion is treated, in the Treasury Journals, as a
mere chimera. •' Our trade," they say, w would
suffer indeed, if the articles in which we deal,
if our own produffioos, and the produce of our
Colonies, were mere luxuries, which nations
might, dispense with. But is that the LA? Are
not the produCtions of the Colonies absolutely
necessary to the Continent ? Can BONAPP ITC
prevent the Continent from having them ? Can
any decree he can issue, induce the people of
the Continent to dispense with the use of
sugar, of coffee, of cotton, of linen, of in-
digo, of logwood, of drugs, of hardware, and
a variety of other articles ? He may render
the iatroduetion of them more difficult, and the
circulation of them more circuitous, but still they
will reach every part of the Continent. But it
may be said, if the Continent will not dispense
with the use of sugar, of coffee, of cotton, of in-
digo, of logwood, kc. where is the great necessity
for this measure? Because neutral nations know
that these articles, the produce of our Colonies, are
liable to seizure and confiscation in the enemy's
ports—they, therefore, purchase them in the Colo-
nies of the enemy, and the enemy are thus supplizd
with them, not by British ships, not by British Co-
lonies, but by American ships, and by French and
Spanish Calonizs. But if we interdict that trade,
it we say that no ship shall convey to a French port
any Colonial produCtion but onr o en. we shalt then
ohlige the Continent to take them from us; the
Continent not being able, as w: have already slated,
to do with, ut them"

Niw all this may be very doe logic, but we fear
that it is not fact. The inferences may be trne, but,
unhattv'atcly, the premises are false. In the first
place, the productions of our Colonies :ire not all
articles absolut:ly necessary to the Continent ; and
in the next place, if their citculotion upon the Con-
tinent be rendered mow d;lficitlt and circuitous,
they cannot circulate tae the sums extent, and with
the s.sm: fatiility, after, as before the restraints. It
follows, therefore, that the consumption will be less;
but we trust the redelion will not be so great as
the enemy expects. It is. we fear. to. •ueh to
attemit to peon, that our trade will not suffer at
all.

Oar last accounts left the titular King of FR amcs
at GotsEeM-Hall,' in Essex. We and, however,
hemline Edinburgh papers received yesterday, that
prepirations wese still making for His hlai Est v's
reespition at Helyrood-House. We admit that there
.was scarcely time to countermand the orders for
toiling op the hitter place for the accornodation of
the Illustriocis Visitor. it is probable, however, that
food arrangement has been made, respefting the
saoidence of His ftlaaaser in this country. In this
state of things, we did not mean to obtrude the
airdrs of this unfortunate Patron upon the public,
until we load something new to attraa their atten-
tion. That forbearance, however, we are not al-
lowed to indulge. tie Mowing t'ort of yesterday
says:—
" it is really surpri.ing that certain Papers will persist in
'nisi:presenting the ciecionscoires et:encliil the an isal of
Louts XVIII. in this country. This public trier re-4 a,uied

Gait.tion's hotel, in Albesnarle•street, was .oftuAlly
prepased for the reception of Locos XVIII. long
before his intention of cretin., to Eng:a•tsi Was made
known, even to the King of Et. OE !inn or his

from boasting any sources of its own, it copied the

Lout. XVIII. would, reside at Holyreod-bouse, r•.r

ing. This is a sintatton one would think net
of very high end lofty pretensions to authenti-
city or originality. But if there were no other ob-
jeftion to the vapouring boast which we have
Tooted, it should have passed, like many others,
without notice. If there be any one point in w!..ich
the most of the London prints ore agreed, it is with
rtspea to the objeft of the visit, and its probable
consequence. They agree that L. is political. and
that nothing can be more abturd or romactic.—
"tick has been the r.',araaer and s:esctiption of it
given in 14. Morning PO4l, in common with many
other prints. What then are we to thir.k of a paper,
avowedly adverse to the cause of tier Bocaltoo.o.

advertising itself the Gezette of Louts XVIII.
the only deposi..,ey of his secrets and views,
and that so reclusively, that any other is
unworthy of credit ? Are we to be told. that Louis
XVIII. is so weak and so besotted, as to choo e a
Print adverse to his interest, his hopes, and his de-
signs, for his confidential Journal ? Or are we to
understand. that there are spies among his followers,
who steal his secrets for the purpose of communi-
cating them ,o his enemies ? Thespiesof BON AAAAA e,
and the Agents of his secret police, are spread
ova all Europe. They can assume all shapes and
disguises; and against the arts of such men, Louis
the XVIIIth cannot be too much upon his guard.
Their intrigues. if we are not misinformed, have de-
luded him to England ; and it is well, if they do not
sueceed.in lead.ng hint still further astray.

It has been erroneously stated, that General
Wurrstocce is to be brought to a Court-Martial
upon Charges preferred against him by Sir SA MU ci
A yen MUT Y. No Charges have yet been preferred
against that Officer. }t is cestainly the intention of
Govevnment to instittre an investigation into the
causes of that disgrace which His Mat esvv's arms
sustained at Buenos Ayres, but whether by a Court
of Inquiry, or a Court-Martial, is, we beliere,not
yet determined.

The Townshend packet, whieh left Lisbon on the
19th ult. has arrived at Falmouth. The Aveltrnd
packet, from hasland, had arrived there before she
letters by the 7ramsh<lod will not be

counts in town than any she can have brought. A
Bremen vessel, which left Lisbon on the :fifth ult.
arrived at Deal on Sunday tan. No corroboration
' of the reported revolution in Spain had been re.
ceived when this vessel salletlyand the news was en-
tirely discredited. It was believed that the French
army had left Bayonne on the 15th ult. and that they
were within 40 leagues of Lisbon. The captain adds,
that almosball the English property was embarked,
and the whole cf the faßory in readiness to sail; all

Some of the Papers of Monday announced, that
a Messenger had left town with dispatches for Co-
penhagen. War being declared between this coun-
try and Damn-I. he could only be sent with a flag
of truce, and hence it was supposed, that the dis-
patches contained a new proposal to negociate. The
Gentleman, bewares, who has left town for Copan-
hageo. is not a Messeng;ir, but Mr. %sr, the Da-
nish Consul. lie had pusitive orders to leave this
country. _ _

The circulation of the counterfeit shillings and

check the currency will ignorant persons, who con-
ceive the same to he the counterleit Irish money; we
are happy. however, to learn, that such pradlices
have already been noticed, and that the Solicitor to
the Mint is about to take the necessary steps to
remedy this inconvenience; as all persons are guilty
of an offence in so doing, and are liable to a prose-
cution for a misdemeanour, in defacing the legal
