nion at all. Nothing boa the union of an Opposition
puny can have any chance against a Ministerial patiA
and therefore, if it be right at all to oppose bad Mi-
nisters, it is necessary to do so by party association.—
Thts is the Reviewer's general reasoning, to whiclrhe
allows the exception of such important questions (rich
for instance as the Slave Tnulc) in which all the mem-
bersof the party are not agreed.

In such an union, he adds; the power of great fami-
lies forms a most necessary pert. It is vain to stigma-
tire this co-operation as the influence of a domineering
aristocracy. On the contrary, it affords a counterpoise
from the wealth, rank, and station of the great Opposi.
don families, to the resources of force and corruption
at the diposal of the Crown : they are a rallying point
to the scattered strength of inferior partisans, and a
more permanent mass in which the common principles
may be embodied and preserved among the vieissitatles
of fortune ; and in the lapse of time, so apt to have a
fatal effect among the more tickle and more numerous
orders of socety, they are eminently useful in temper.

Sr. Doat!Noo.—Christophe, the sovereign of part of
' St. Domingo, known as the kingdom at Hayti, has, since
the death of Petion, who was President of the ether
part, endeavoured to unite the whole island under his
authority. Far this purpose he has approached with
a military retinue the territory which is under the Pre-
sidency of General Boyer, the successor of Petiod, and
issued two proclamations announcing his views, and
promising to those who may support them the guaran-
tee of their persons and property, the confirtnation of ranks
and employ to military and civil offices, and protection
and rewards to others.—lt appears that Boyer resists
Christophe in these views of aggrundisenvedt..
By recent accounts from St. Domingo, it appears
that Christoplie, failing in his efforts to induce that
portion of the Island, under the new President, Boyer,
the successor df Petion, to acknowledge his authority,
is marching to attack Port-au-Prineo, and that Boyer is
preparing to repel him.
PRUSSIAN LOAN.—Privy-Couticellor Baraemann is
arrived in London with the remaining; obligations of
this loan, completing the sum of 5,000:000 sterling.
They are at present in the possession of Mr. Rothschild,
the contractor, who will deliver them in a few days to
the subscribers.

Extra& of a letter from Bilboa, dated Aug. 17 :
" We hailed with much satisfaction the arrival of the
Diana frLate ; no sooner had she appeared, than the
insurgent privateers; which previously infested our
coast, diaappeared, kt the great joy of the iahabitauts.
By the latest advises also from Cadiz, we learn that two
or thrze English ships of war are off that coast, nu
deubt for the purpose of preserving some little respect
for legitimate flaw. Such is the present state of Spain
—at nation that once meditated an invasion of Great
Britain is now glad even of nominal protect:tat from two
or three of her frigates "

real satisfaction in stating, that at Dudley, Stour-
' bridge, &c., the iron trade was never known so brisk
as it is at this moment ; the foreign orders are so
great. that it is impossible to get through them with
sufficient celerity ; we may also add, that the pipes
and other apparatus connected with gas works, give
employment to a east number of hands. The nail
trade is also so brisk, that Ole masters at Dudley and
Stotathridge have recently le.sen able to raise the wages
of their workmen. To a feeling and patriotic mind,
nothing can be more gratifying than to observe the
contrast which the :shave districts present when the
autumn of 1816 is compared with the present time :
at the former period, all was distresa and dismay : at
the presaut, all is ildustry and opulettce.

by machinery, to any degree of recumbency, without is
perceptible motion to the patient.. Her Majesty slept
in it, on Wedritsday niglrt, and enjoyed tt more refresh-
ing sleep than had been expected.
Up to eight o'clock, on Fridny evening, no chains
had taken place. Her Majesty remained five from. any
violent, symptom of her complaint, and, compared with
the preceding 'Week, certainly in a much more favourable
,gate. The Duke of York arrived from the Hone
Guards, and the Prince Regent from Hampton am rt,
about six o'clock • and, after visiting her .‘l4d.rty, diet
dined with the Princesses. Mr. Keate, and Mr. Branile.

Francis Mittman, ore Thunday night, and slept at the
Palace. Sir Henry lialford returned from Winds":
Castle about three o'clock on Friday, and, we under.

Accounts have been received at Lloyd's, tkat two
valuable Portuguese ships, insured in Londol, had
been captured by two riratcs, with commisaigris hunt

that a Captain, who had been in the river Plate, bought
a whole quire of them from the worthy General for a
