price formerly set by the English is no longer an
example.
The Frankfort, Letter-writer, however, still harps
upon- the English manufactures, and the itrimediate ;
connexion which .the English maintain with the
interior of the Continent, by means of their agents,
travellers; Bre...from Hamburg)). But can he possi-
bly.be ignorant, that even these merchants, in the
interior of Germany, may avail themselves of any
port from whence the land carriage is considerably'
cheaper than in the vicinity of any of the great and
rich cities ? In reality, the blockade has opened so 1
many facilities to the interior of Germany, and has
occasioned, the discovery of so many advantageous
ports, as to remove every idea of preference given
to Hamburgh. A free choice has thus dire&ed
the. mercantile interest to give the preference where
they clipOse; mid this, it seems, has pointed out
Embden for the South, and Stettin for the East of.
Germany. . , .
From these • places, the . fairs' at Leipsic, and
Frankfort upon the Main,, may be supplied just as
cheap by land as from Hamburgh and Bremen ;
and where there is an opportunity of being supplied
by water, and the carriage is ever so low, yet as the
weight of the English manufa&ures bears no propor-
.tion to their worth, and they are more liable to be
damaged by water, land carriage, if possible, is al-
ways preferred... .. .-. . . .
• • There are_two• principal reasons why Hamburg!),
in common with any•trading -town, enjoys such dist
1 tinguished advantages, viz. its situation upon large
I navigable river, and the 'large capitals of its inha-
bitants, which afford them so many opportunities
for facilitating the' sale of their goods. ' But in re-
'sheet to commodities, the change Of. fashions, and
the variety of new inventions, continually introt-
duced, Must operate as 'a considerable advantage,
Compared with other articles of trade, in which
Haniburghers are engaged. Experience also evinces
that no English manufa6tures of any kind are sent
over here as consignments ; or at least that they
bear no proportion to the other articles sent here for

ME. OiERA:7-After the grand serious Opera of
•GrOia.ti-eCririazzi, in which GRASINI and Bii.A.7
HAM deservedly gained high applause, a superb new
Ballet of the heroic kind was brought forward last
nighfat,the King's Theatre; under the title of Td;
cr-
lane. and.iiagazet. It .is chiefly derived from the
serious Opera of Joxana, and is the composition of
M. .Rossi. It is a very magnificent
,spectaele,. and
does credit to' his talentS as a Ballet Master. The
outline of the story is so well known, that we need.
not detail it to our Readers. As these are martii:J.
tunes, a tattle is one of the principal scenes, thOugh
it might be thought that the World has too much of
the reality of such scenes to stand in need of any copy.
However, the contest is managed with admirable ef-
feet; and it produced much applause. The fable
is by no means devoid of interest, and it has re.
ceived every splendid advantige from the liberality
of the Manager. The dresses are very showy and
striking. TiAt: talents of the Dancers are brqught
forth with 'fine effeEt. Dcs 'HAYES and PARISOt
exerted themselves with very great skill, particularly
-the former, who • has hardly been excelled by the
most celebrated of his predecessors. The Music,
which is partly selecred and partly original, does cre-
dit to the taste and genius of Mr. Blsmor, who is
said to have been a pupil of BIANCHI. The new
was received. wAll great applause by a numer-
L ous audience of the higher order.

Still the test of experience is a • standard by
which the Writer of ,the Frankfort-Lotter would be
unwilling to abide. Governed by malignant pre-
judices only, his principal objeEt, at this critical
moment, has been to represent Bremen' and Hans-
,burgh, in the eyes , of, France, in the most unfa-
vourable light, as mere Continental appendages to
England.
In the conclusion of his Letter, there is a curious
transfer of reasoning to the Eleaor, of Saxony.—
The odious part of this is his intention, by means
of faLie colouring, to excite by the plau-
sibility .of his inferences, to Ilwaken and confirm
every prejudice in his favour.
• We feel no inclination to investigate, or Inquire
into the nature and tendepcy of the obje6tions ad-
dressed to the Saxon Minister. We would only re-
mark, in general; with-respect to Germany, that in
au Empire in which hitherto there have been more
princely ;households than there are Prefeas or
Sub-Prefels in France, articles of manufaCture
and commerce would be in a very wretched condi-
tion, if England were
,blotted out of, the scale of
existence.
The remains of the feudal system—a degree of
military mania—the want of external security, of
order in the Interior,. and of public spirit—a super-
fluity of idle hands, and that passive obedience
which has more weight than the voice of the Peo-
ple—it is These, I say, and neither Englishmen
nor English manufaClures; which are the sources of
all the misery in Germany.
.It is. these that give a
probability. ao, the appearance; that the aEtivity and
industry of all European' Nations may soon fall un-
der the Enecny and oppressor of trade; and at the
footstool of a Foreign Nation ; in a word, under a
miserable existence, which may bedragged on from
one century-to another.
If the Frankfort Letter-writer had only one spark.
of 'magnanimity in his sbul, this lamentable, but'
true picture of, things, could' not have escaped his
observation ; to which his eyes, as *ell' as others,
should have been open ; and he would also have
shewn. more' reverence toWards the last monuments
of the ancient grandeur of German trade and com-
merce. He, however, seems-to think it a very easy
task to annihilate Hamburgh and Bremen ; but he
has forgotten the infamy that• must attach to the
aa of giving up the laborious itruatare of many
centuries to sudden 'destruaion. He should have
recolle&ed, that all human Constitutions are sub-
jest to certain inconvenienciea—and that there are
even plants, which being once stripped of the
moss that proteas their roots, must inevitably pe-
rish by the first - frost that follows. The calami-
ties and the wretchedness to which the People of
Germany have. - been subjeaed by the late wars,
might have furnished hint with a subject -for other
Letters, in which he might have exhibited more
penetration, more patriotism, and more esteem, CORN-EXCHANGE, FEB. 12.—Frorp the continu-

tended to state that his wife had just made an addi-

he seemed to say that he himself had been' brought

at least gave birth to some strokes- of pleasantry,
which effeetually restored the Audience to good-
humour.

A Sporting Gentleman Undertook, on Thursday
last, for a wager of 20 guineas', to go to Shepperzon,
a distanCe of 18 miles, in three hours. tie went
the first' seven miles within an hour, and lost the
wager on Hampton Common, where he stuck in the
mud, and lust his shoes.—The same bet was taker,
by another person, who won the wager

with ease, although far inferior in size. and reach t 4

is said, will attempt it over again for too guineas,
on Saturday next, play or pay, and after that rutx

The following is extraaed from -Relf's American
Gazette, dated Dec. 1, 1806: " We are informed
.that the vile miscreant THOMAS PAINE, having been.
visited by a second stroke of the palsy, is deeply jai-
pressed with theleinousness of a life spent in revil-
ing all religion, .and in contemning divine revelation ;
and that lis in daily prac=tice of prayer for heavenly
grace

Ships loading at that Port for Portugal round to Sptt-
