COMMERCE.
" The political' events blive been unfAvourable
to commerce. It still was kept alive in the midst of
the contentions that havede)ted the Continent
blood, because those nations ,th.tt were'involve.,lits
the war preferred their neutrality—that right d4emed
.even in our times inviolable. But.• the Enghsii
;gislation, already misled by the ambition of
,oriiver-
sal monopoly, has overthrown the ancient barrier of.
tht Law of Nations, an;l trample,l their independence
On foot, substituting in \the room of them a new
maritime code., The of-dlr.:ant:es of -his' Blitannie
Majesty have'realit!ed these innovations; that of the
`)
t in of November,' 1807; is particularly reniarkabk;
it
1 pronounces• by an universal blockade the inter.%
diction of all our ports, In subjecting the ships
neutral Powers, friendly and 'even allied 'to Great
Britain., to the visitation of itsernizers,' to be con:.
',ducted to British ports, and there to De to :d by an
arbitrary inquisition.
The Emperor, obliged to oppose just' 0-prisa's
to this strang,r, legisl.nion, gave out the Decree ut the.
23d of November, ordaining the seizure and con-
fiscation of the ships which, atter having to4chea itt
England, shouid enter the ports of France. From
these measures, prOvoked by..Uie British Law, the
almost absolute cessation of'the -maritime relations,
and m'ny privations for the French' merchants, ma-
nufaCturers; and. cons,umers,' must have necessarily
ensued. We all .knoa, with what, resignation thew'
• privations were endured ; we know
have
they are
already become habitual, that int), have awakened:
the genius of inv4iition,. and .produced a thoUsand:
resources in substitution (Attie objects Which e ary
in want of ; ,we know, filially, that a. Great Nation,
essentially agricttural, can, oy posseSsing to abun-
dance all articles of utility, easily forego those.
which only form certain luxuries or conveniences of
life, partaiularly when its indwpendence and glory.
should be put at stake.
-" These circumstances. have favoured one of the
greatest scourges .ot commer&, smuggling. But it
has been strongly repressed. The Government is.
preparing new means against this fee to: the

revenue and national industry; the great emolu-
ments it procures excites the most ardent ,cupidity.
Those who Ought .not to be honoured with the ap-
pellation, of merchants, least_ wd should degrade
cbtumerce, are still devoting, themselves to criminal
• peculations ; they think that they are 'only • braving
the shame, of an ordinary transgression, but the pub,
lic 'indignation- and vengeance will overtake them,
and teach them, that,: under circumstances where
the nation employs for its defence, in an unexaMpled
war, the iaterdiaion of all commercial relations with
the enemy, the violation of these .dispbsrtibris is
, an hostile declaratiorre a true alliance with this same
enemy ; that consequently every smuggler. renounces
the" benefit of the municipal-laws, to be subjected
solely to, those of war, and,that he ought to thead
the terrible and rapid application of those laws,
which authorise the invasion of his fortune ,and
personal castigation. • \
"'The Government, penetrated with the situation.
of the French commerce, has strove to mitigate the
evils, to -provide for its wants:
• " Abroad, a treaty with the kingdom of Italy
_ secures to France all the advantages which are com-
patible with reciprocal justice. In the interior va-
rious sums have been advanced to manufaciurers
and proprietors of produce-which puhlic events had
'accumulated or cramped in their stores.
Tile Caisse d'Amortissement has interfered in
the ouifittings of aeventures. ,
" A law has limited the bounds of 'the interest
on money ; Offices .established at Lyons and at Rouen
are prelusive to a grand offacility in the cir-
culation of the nutrierary and merchandize.
"The Exchange and the Commercial Tribunal of
Paris see-rising for their accominodation a stately
Palace on the scite of the Nunnery of St. Thomas:
Coeformably to the new code, an organization
of the Tribunals- of Commerce of the Empire is pre-
paring., The Prefects, the Courts of Appeal, have
been consulted on the-most eligible scires for these
Tribunals, as wellas on the subjea of their number,
the Judges and, their Surrogates: A general projea
has been submitted to the discussion of}he Council
of-State, and to,the san&ion of his Majesty.

AGP I CULT U#.E.

- " The Prefeas"the Courts of Appeal, and of the
Menibers of the General Councils of Department
formed in Commission, are also
called upon to dive
their advice on a projed of the greatest utility, that
of a- rural code;. so Importan; to the prosperity of
Agriculture, and so closely interwoven with nation4l
prosperity,

_
" In the mean time, one of the principal improve-
merits of which agw-iulture is capable, is daily ef-
ieaed by the re-organisation of our repositories for
the breedol horses. Eight new repositories 01-atal-
lions. have been formed this year. Premiums held
out to the owners of the best horses brought to the
fairs, rewards decreed at the departmental races, are
so many additional means of favouring the ploduc,
tiou of the most eligible species of.this animal.
" Tsco new sheep farms have been introduced:
Six hundred Merinos, of the best breed, have been
ordered.from Spain; and they are already arrived in
France, notwithstanding the variety of obstacles that
have occurred on their passage. They will be divided
in two new establishments, as yet in embryo. The
mult-iplication of the flocks increase: rapidly, and .w ti
may consider the happy revolution introduced in
this branch7as completed.
lay it one day be so also with the culture of
cotton. in spite. of .the contrarieties of a hardy
spring, and tolerable cold autumn, the attemptS made
still give room to hope, for ultimate success. We
arcj►;;Cl t•y auger well also of the-attempts made

on the subjeLl of the syrup.; cat th' grape.

The rich

culture of tobacco is daily eF,tending ; that which is
, gathered in Cie vicinity of St. Maio equals-in quality
those Of America. France• will one day,. to jodve
by appearances, not may supply its own wants with
that production,- but also export it to her nek,h-
bouts. •

THE iLIET IC TREASURE AVD FINANCES

Regula: and-a judicious administratiOn, pre\
vail irr ere!), ckpartment of the Publii..:Treastify. The
national aEcouuts reduced, to a system the tuna
scientific und luminous
.; it -differs only from the
mode adopted by the most merchants
the extentiutici tieceswy complication of• the transac-
tions of Government. ,‘

`1 Tite. Finances have been gradually brought by
the t-tiptror trout a state of dilapida►ion ,and conlo-
sion, to a stata of order and prosperity unknown itl
the GOvertnnems the best -a" dministered. It is a
trophy raised by ► .-protts exertion, by combinations
,the ino,t j,P,licious, and by a perseverance which has
unravelled the Inost iinfleate details, and surmounted
incredible difficulties. The pation enjoys the bene-
fits t.vh;ch result :from this new sort of conquest.
Sinc,', France' has generously consented to the adop-
tion of indireCt taxation, the finances have really been
consolidated, and the utmost facility given for carry-
ing on the functions of every department of the pub-
lic service. .

" The Finances in modern timei may be consi-
dered_ as the security' of States, and the measure of
their stability. If they furnish Government only
with inadequate, precarious, or oppressive resources,
its energies becom paialyzed, individuals insoltent,
and if \var, or any other calamity, should visit a na-
tion under these 'circumstances, it must subscribe to
its own dishonour, or be involved in irretrievable
ruin;

" The Finalictfs of a State are not' eSfentially and
efficiently good until they become independent of
circumstances—until they can be maintained inde-
tiendently of the' ruinous expedient of resorting :to.
loans and excessive contributions—until, in tine, they
are so conneaed and identified with national prospe-
rity,.that they constitute a dirt emanation from it 3
then only csn'they be deemed solid, efficient, per-
manent, and essentially national, and particularly if
they have received an organiiation sufficiently situ
pie, so that in an extraordihary emergency all the
property; and all the individ6als, may be called upon,
promptly to furnish their respeetiverputas in advance.,
" The endeavOurs of his Majesty havebeen in-
dessantly direded to the attainment of this desirable
object, 'and they have been crowned by the Lutist
complete success, and the finances are calculatgd in
future to meet with equal effeet the-exigences of
war and of peace.
" In a period of peke, 6A nZillions will be suffi-
cient to defray the public expences, and wily leave
a large surplus for national improvements. The re-
ceipts; Which amount at the present moment to 80()

millions, will, 'according to this arrangement, be re-
duced on-fourth.

" In time of war, it is not in the contemplation
of his Imperial Majttstv to resort to the illusory, ex-
pedients of imposing taxes of a noVel description, or
to hold out temptation to raise-new supplies._ The
contributions on the recurrence _of war will be
brought beck to the war standard—i. e. E:00.
lians;_ancl_eventhett raised only .by___tou cir. ,tso mil-
lions at a time, in case of need; and this will be-done
by a simple scale or table of propositions, which
will enable evert itizen to judge of the share he has
in the good or bad fortune of the State.
".Observe, Gefitlemen, that this simplicity has
no affinity or connexion- with that so considerably
extolled as the result of a single dire& contribution ;
it is, on the contrary, founded on a convidion that
taxes 'ought to be laid on Various objects,. that our
Jaws of finance.include all the taxes which it was
expedient to establish, anti that all that is just and
reasonable has been ededed.

" It remains only t 9 advet r, to the Survey or Regis,.
ter, without will:101p.; it'or unm pilogress of the scold
of increase or diminution would be deficient, in pro-
portion, and would continue to area the proprietors
of the funds atito:,l:y surcharged 3 the making up of
this Register, which ought to efface so much ine-
quality, to repair so triu,ch involuntary and inevita-
ble injustice, is pursued with so much constancy,
that those who di.belive the praCricability of this'
immense wor, no hinger doubt of its speedy exe-
cutioir:, I must not here/ omit, Gentlemen, the
creation of the Court. of Accounts, to the establish-
ment of which you co-operated in your last Session.
We wanted a new institution, powertol in its
unity, present' to all the depositaries of the pub-
lic property, by the rapidity of its'action embracing
all the responsibility of interior Accountants con-
necled-,with the public income and expenditure.
This Court. ought, by the. distribution of its duties,
and the number oftts
,Members, to be adequate to
all the occasions, and responsible fir all the labours
that may be 'entrusted to it. The principles on
which this establishment rests, the choice. of its
members, the consideration in which they are held,
every thing guarantees t he 'success the Government
has promised its'elF, that of a salutary controul over
the several accountants. • •

ADMINISTRA-PION OF TILE WAR DEPARTMENT.

"-The,same principles of Order, 'and the same
views foie the acceleration of the service; have in-
fluenced the general diredion of the Commisariat,
whose first essays justify the eiyeaations that had
been formed. This AdirPuitration: renders the sUp7
plies,Cif the army indelTpdent of coulrattors, who
have so frequently dope injury, at • the same, time
that it secures the advantage of au economy, very
sensible to the public funds.

N All f.N,E.

" Though during tie present campaign the Go-
vernment has bin ted ins maruhne operations, still a
squadron armed at 'Toulon, a7i if by enelLintnieliti
land conducted ith Skill, has been able to defeat,
by, able manmuvres, the combinations of the enemy,
by conveying to Cut fu two years supplies of;men,
artillery, provisions, and ammunition. After hav-
ing thus.rendered usees4 the expedition With which
that barrier of the, Adriatic was' threatened, the
Fleet of Admiral GANTHEAUME returned safe
through all. the difficulties of
C a boisterous naviga-
tion, and all. the dangers ocontinUed tempests.—
The-colonies have in like manner been successflully
supplied with provisions, by squadrons of frigates
, and corvettes, which, while they.. fulfilled that im-
portant object, had,' Lite the squadron that went to
'Corfu, the advantage of making prizes of a great
number of the enerny's,ships, richly laden.' In India,
prizes to the-value of I 5 millions have been the result
oft he cruizes of our frigates, one of which duly sur-
rendered, rind that after aoglorious contest against a
super)or force*. -
" Our cruiztrs in all parts of the world, and above
all in the Seas of India and Guadaloupe, have
proved themselves formidable to-the enemy. But it,
is. not so much with a iew to what if has done, but
to what it may do, with time, that our Marine ought
to be considered.' l'en. Snips of the Line, con-
siructed in the docks of Antwerp, and fitted tbr,sea
many mouths since, are awaiting their destination.
Tile Flotilla .of Boulo/ne, kept up and equipped,
is.itill in readiness to undertiake the operations for
'which it was readiness
created. Twelve Ships of
'the Line and as man" Frigates have been launched
within the year, and twenty-five inure, and as many
Frigates, on the storks, ..attest the ai..-tivity of our
dock-yards. Our p,t.rts are preserved in perfe&
