attack on the ConSiitution glanced at in the Pre•
sident's late Message, is more fully explained in the
following Resolution, lately introduced into the Ver•,.
mont Legislature. The Resolution is precisely what
was to have been expetled from that Legislature,
and from the man who introduced it. The men
who advocate the proposed change should proceed
with deliberation : they are treading on hallowed
vroursd : they are aiming a blow, which, if it should
not Overturn the Constitution itself, will rouse the
shunbering spirits of its friends. Differences of
opinion on the minor subjt as will be forgotten, and
all w►c value the. Constitution' will rally round it
as a common standard, as the sacred bond of union,

LONDON,
FRIDAY, DECEMIIVIt 18, , 1807.

WE this morning received the following letter
from Plymouth :
" PLvstotint, Mc. W.—Arrived the Lisa/cut
Gun•brig from Palermo, with Dispatches for Go-
vernment, which were immediately landed, and
forwarded to' the AdMiralty the Druid Frigate
from the Squadron cruizing off Ferrol ; and the
Peqe/ope Frigate from a cruize in' the Channel.
Arrived the Plover• Sloop Of War from a cruize
in the Channel ; also the Ann hired Armed Brig
from Gibraltar, with Dispatches; sailed thence the
30th November, and on the following day pole a
Squadron of five Portuguese Ships of the Line and
a Frigate, ' with the Royal. Family on board, from
Lisbon, supposed to be destined for the Brazils ;
the-Ann learnt from this Squadron, that the French
Army,' consisting of 30,000 men, had entered Lis-
bon on the 30th November.

" Also arrived the Growler Gun-brig from the
Squadron off Cadiz, • with .Dispatches : she fell 'in
with the Squadron under the command of Admiral
Sir SIDNEY SMITH, cruizing off Lisbon, alt well;
and the Sophia, Capt. BOHMAN, from Stockholm,
with tar, for this Port."

How this report came to be current at Plymouth
we cannot conceive, as it is wholly destitute of
foundation. The Ant brings no such intelligence

Ito , easel
or the. Gr4wler go near Lisbon, or fall in with the
Squadron of Sir SIDNEY SMITH. We therefore re.
main still entirely in the dark with respea to the*
,state of affairs at Lisbon: Sir SznsiT Smtru,, v.ve.
may now venture to state positively, is waiting offF
Lisbon expelling to be joined by the Forces
Sicily, under the'comtuand of Sir JOHN MOORE; and'
when that jun&ion takes place every thing that can
be achieved by skill ,and gallantry may, be expelled.
Sir J. MOORE left Sicily atiout the 98th October with
a' force of 10,000 men, for the purpose of co-ope-
rating with Sir SIDNEY SMITH. We may therefore
expeat very shortly to hear some. important and sa-
tisfalitory intelligence from that quarter.

The Insolent, which brought Dispatches yester-
day, states, that Lord COLLINGWOOD was 'off Tou-
lon with eight Sail. of the Line. Admiral THORN-
BROUGH was gone to Tripoli for provisions. The
Windsor Castle and the Queen, of guns each, are
gone to Gibraltar to refit.

Wa understand that Orders for reprisal against
Russia will be issued this dtly, and the Answer to
the Russian Declaration will appear to-morrow.

We yesterday announced the arrival of Sir A.
PAGET, and consequently the failure or Our nego-
tiations with the Porte. We never entertained any
sanguine expeaations that they would be brought
to a successful issue. The ill-concerted attempt upon
Constantinople, and the invasion •of,Egypt,,plsnding
a negotiation 'threw' the Porte completely fhp:: the
arms France ;. and the present Ministers hAvenot,
been able; .with all their efforts, to counterad,the
cad of these. Unfortunate measures.

We think it right
.to lay the follc;wing Letter be;
fore our headers, without pledging ourselves for the-
truth of its contents We think the Committees to
which 'therdiffererit parts Of the prisideno 41(64,
were referred, could hardly have made their itaports
time enough for such a decision to have taken place
in Congress, and the intelligence to have reached
this country.

EXTRACt Or A LETTER 'ROM MANCIIISTAR, DATED

atct►+etx 15, 1807.

A Gentleman of respeEtability arrived about four o'cleck
this afternoon, at the Bridgewater Arms, at'ter a very quick
passage, from America, via l..iverpool ; he brings an account

IN FAVOUR OF THZ ENGLIsiI, by a LAROIL MAJORITY."

We understand that Earl CAmbarr, Lord HAWKES•
BURY, Lord MVIGHAVE, and Mr. Secretary CANNING,
will this day wait on His MAJESTY at 'Windsor. It
is supposed that it is intended to hold a Council
there; and it is said, that, to save His MAJESTY the
fatigue of coming frequently to town, a considerable
part of the public business will in future be transact-
ed at 'Windsor.

when, , after a debate, it was referred to a special
Committee, consisting of all. the Aldermen, and a
Commoner out of each Ward, to consider the same..
The Coal and Corn Committee reported the in-
convenient 4ituation Of the Corn-office in Tower-

GREAT BRITAIN ANI) RUSSIA.

• CONOISE ABSTRACT OF THE BRITISH coMMIRCr
WiTH RUSSIA IN THE BALTIC.
Greet Britain, during the present generation, has,
employed, on an average, about 600 ships and 700:
sailors, in her traffic with Russia. These ships are
commonly between ! and 300 tons burthen, carrying
to or 12 men, and Petersburgh, the metropolis,
their principal market.
The staple exports from Russia to Britain, and in
which, unfortunately, consists the principal occupa•
tion of those ships, are those of hemp and flax, tal-
low; iron, dealS, Russia linen, and a few other sun-
dries, of inferior value ; in, the whole to any of the
preceding staple articles, the total annual amount of
those exports to Britain considerably. exceeds three,
Millions sterling.
;Russia, in return, takes front Britain a miscella-.
neous •assortment of manufaaured and raw mate,.
rials, amotinting, in favourable years, to about half
a triillion* sterling ; consequently, the clear annual
gain of Russia, in her traffic with Britain, is betereen
two and three millions sterling, which balance the
receives in cash or in bills, on the Continent :, and.:
to This enormous gain might be added; Ctistcitn7„,
house duties, Shipping and COmmission charges,
and.theatnallerstreams derived from the expend's.'
ture of our sailors in her ports.
The exports of Russia, from the Baltic ~.to all the
other nations of Europe, are not one-third, in value,.
to those with Britain alone, and the balance witb,-
them is not in her- tay.our.
We shall next submit a few comments on thii
Russian commerce, and shall endeavourto pnint-oet
resources in lieu of this precarious and unprofitablP
connexion. It would be madness and parricide;io
us to contribute, by direa or insinea commerce,
feed the treasury of a Government that has Confede''
rattAl with tbe' roodern 'Bella for our- destruetion.,
Uvu'. AND Fi.ag.-;.-The principal consumpti4t.,'
in sail-cloth, cordage, and linen. We can, hevievf.
be furnished with a sufficient irantity of both hemP '
and tiax from the East Indies, and from Baal'
Bay. It also could be cultivated, with mums' a`r
Tanta d, in many fertile parts' of our extensive
can Colony, the Cape of Good Hope. By proper
legislative regulations, we can greatly enlarge ono
stock at home; Scotland and Ireland .plvdtice f 13,44
sufficient for the manufattoty of their Untivo"c"
linens. •
TALLOW.—This is principally used in the mantic','
faaure of soap and candles. , Our internal resourcet
would be the multiplication of more oxen in agricell.
ture, and is waggons and draft. But independent
of tallow, it seems indisputably necessary that flue.
nos Ayres, the great magazine of tallow, hides, and
flesh-meat, should be speedily retaken by an °de!
quate force, and proper commanders.' We shoal°,
without loss of time, provide resources against the
abolition of the Rusiian trade,, and against 3' ruP:
ture with North America. If our exertions are not'
like those of our foe, prompt and vigorous, relt3'
forcemeat* will be stolen out there, and afterwardg,
oft' the first favourable opportunity, the noierin.ts
rojeas of France against the Brazils, from the 6,1c10
of Cayenne, will be put in execution.

DEALL—The domestic cultivation and increase 01'
both the pine and the oak, require prompt encourage'
ment, and judicious regulations. In the mean three' ;
we have resources both for deals and for masts, trPT.

from the inexhaustible teak forests contiguous Iv
