In our present commercial distress., while our trade NOS in a

to us the markets of South America—a country of immense
extent, said of unlimted wealth, whose resources would grow
a ith the growth of its indepeudence, and in ashurt tune run
ble it to put chase and consume whatever we could exposit for
its use. The disposition of the people of the new slate ought
therefoie to be consulted as the memo of promming 11.11 io-
tercourse eel benefielitit. Fashion ruled in states us much as
hills ideals. The Smith Americans were habituated
to consider us as friends and models; they a ished to obtain
the Islip, obalam of frtemen, mitt to enter into political ie•
lotions with freemen. Such a disposition a e should fester,
not oily for the advantage it might bring, but for the evils
which it might prevent ; for let the house consider what
might be the cithsespiesire of rejecting a union a ita stuns,

ancient jealousy or contemned ft iendsitip. We slasuid
therefore draw the hoods of itifeenost.ciost r between unr-
eels es and the South Americans, by allowing those who
had bled iii the service of their own country, and who
could not now find subsistence or employment at home, to
go out to their assistance, to acquire additional experiet.ce
in the new amid, and to promote the progrem of human
happiness awl treetiom. They there wunld learn, nut to
auppoi t the dominion of continental despotimi, blot to co-

The resolotiou was agreed to, and the report ordered to
be reeetred ou Mosirla

The Report from the Select Committee of the
Muse of Commons on the Bankruptcy Court has
been printed. it states, that •' the Committee are
of opinion, that a removal of the sittings of Com-
missions of Bankrupt from Guildhall to Furnival's
Inn, would be productive of great and general in-
convenience ; they cannot, therefore, venture to re-
commend such removal."

By a paper laid on the table of the House of
Commons, it appears, that the issnes of the Bank
of England have been considerably reduced during
the last month. The total amount of Bank of En-
gland notes in circulation on the 4th of May was
t1ti,418,850/.; on the 11th of May, 25,774,i.501.
and on the I b'th, i'5,709,0110/. In the short space
of a fortnight the diminution is 739,770/.
It was intended, it is said, to propose a Property
Tat, but the intention has been abandoned, as it is
considered more desirable to keep it in reserve, and
propose it in the event of a tatnre war.
Reports are eireulatated at Frankfort that the
Dole of Wellington visits Stockholm in Jane, to
negociate affairs of the utmost importance, in the
name of his Government. These affairs of im-
portance are, perhaps, the differences between Ber-
nadotte and the Emperor of Russia. rliploma:ic
discussions on the subject are understood tb have
taken place in London.
