manufacturers do not know how to execute. We
readily agree that our industry should be protected,
by hindering the competition of foreigners to the
prejudice of our own manufactures, since, in spins
of all theories, this is the conduct of the most en-
lightened nations. But, allowing that our manu-
factures ought to receive encouragement, we cannot
beliave that this should authorise a monopoly to the
injury of other interests that merit regard. These
casks, which must be hooped at u triple expense,
carry all over the world the fine brandies of Ileus,
and this increase of expense may operate very unfa-
vourably on the sale of that moat important article.
As fur the prohibition of fine printed cottons, it
is equivalent to an express order to smuggle them
into the kingdom. These cottons are so very gene-
rally used, that the women hardly wear any thing '
else at home, especially in some provinces. . In Ca-
talonia they cannot give these articles those bright
and desirable colours which so much recommend
them, nor have they that taste and elegance in the
patterns which are their chief merit. NVill our fine
ladies wear the stuffs which were formerly taken fut
the Mulatto women of Rio de la Plata?

FRANKFORT, DEC. 14.

. ,

Our accounts from Troppau of the Gth say, that
the departure of the Emperors of Russia and Austria,
which was announced as near at hand, as well ua
that of all the ambassadors, is deferred fur an null•
mites time. This seems to have been a sudden
resolution, for a ratification made by the High
Chamberlain of the Court to Count Suurau, in his
quality of High Chamberlain of Bohemia and Aus-
tria un office which includes the function of Minister
(of the Interior), announced that his Majesty the
Emperor would return to Vienna by the Idth, and
preparations were making in the Imperial Palace,
which gave reason to suppose that the Emperor of
Russia would take up his residence there.
A Nuremberg,. Paper has an article, dated Lower
Saxonv, which says, " A report is spread of a mar-
riage *between the Crown Prince of Sweden and a
Princess of a Emily which is related to the most
ancient and'powerful Royal Houses, and to which •
the Swedish nation seems particularly attached."

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 12.
The examination relative to the affair of Dr.
Damhe are still continued. Though the public hear..
nothing certain respecting the contents of the papers
of this man, it is known that a smith has been
arrested who bud fidse keys to the principal prisons
of this city. It appears that Dr. Dandle has nut
confined his conntxtions to the capital alone.
STOCKHOLM, DEC. 5.
Though tha supreme tribunal has pronounced its
opinion that the King of Sweden is authorised to
acquire landed property, The Courier of Stockholm,
iu two of the lust numbers, opposes this opinion of
the ritinuert, on several constitutional grounds. It
remarks, that the idea of considering the King of
Sweden 03 the first Stye:l6h citizen, is very well, if
it procceda flow the King us au expression of the
humility with which he contemplates his elevated
situation : but if he is to be considered as such by
his people, and introduced as such in the legislation,
his high destination would be lost —The writer pro- •
