THE DESTRUCTION OF SEATON DELAVAL BY
FIRE.—We stated in our last, that on the 34 inst. this noble
mansion, the seat of Sir Jacob Astley, Bart, Northumberland,
was totally consumed. The following are further particulars,
from an authentic source. The accident was occasioned by
a beam in one of the bed room chimnies taking fire, which
quickly communicating to the roof, burst out with sea
fury as to prevent the possibility of human exertions being
of any avail, and in the space of one hour it was found all
attempts to save the main body of the house would prOVe fruit-
less, owing to the immense quantity of hot lead pouring down
from the roof; but fortunately the steward had sufficient.presence
of mind to order the corridor, which united the wings to the
body of the house, to be instantly detached, by which means the
two former were saved. We are sorry to add, that not one of
the beautiful and valuable marble chimney-peces and statues,
executed by Italian masters, was saved from the devouring ele-
ment. Thousands of people assembled to witness the awful
catastrophe. This magnificent structure was the design of Sir
John Vanburgh. We lament to state, that what makes the loss
still, more considerable is, that it was not insured.—This noble
and princely mansion stood on the site of Delaval Castle, the
ancient baronial residence of the family, which has been in their
possession since the Conquest. We have great pleasure in
stating that no lives were lost, and, owing to the great exer-
tions of the servants, all the family papers were saved.—
Fortunately Sir Jacob and Lady Astley were at theirseat, Mel-
ton Constable, Norfolk.

Ma. Eorrort,—ln pursuing the view I intend
to take of the State of Affairs in Europe, such as
they appear to me at the beginning of the pre-
sent year, it is natural that I should turn first of
all to the situation in which this country is now
placed, both in respect to its internal concerns,
and to its foreign connections. The. latter I
imagine, for the present, to be comparatively un-
important, though far from satisfactory, and per-
haps pregnant with future mischief. Whatever
surmises may be made as to the line of conduct
which the Cabinets of Vienna and of St. Peters-
burgh will adopt, in respect to the Greeks, our
opinions upon this head- must still rest solely
upon conjecture. It is impossible to entertain
for an instant the idea that either Austria or
IFusaia. will everztr44 remain paststy
of the important events %Itch are now distra
ing the Ottoman Empire, and still less, that if
they lend any assistance to the Greeks, they will
be actuated by motives wholly disinterested.
This being the case, a partition of the Turkish
dominions is not only a possible, but a most-pro-
bible event, and one which may eventually prove
destructive of the peace and tranquillity of Eu-
r Ope. It seemed one• of the main objects of the
several Congresses which followed the destruc-
tion of the colossal power usurped by BUONA-
PARTE, to adopt the measures best calculated to
secure the enviable blessings of a durable peace.
For the purpose of attaining so desirable an end,
it was determined to restore, as much as circum-
stances would admit,- that balance of power
which the wars of the Revolution and the un-
exampled successes of the French armies had
effectually overturned. How far this important
object has been accomplished, it is not perhaps,
as yet, easy to determine ; but it is reasonable
to suppose that any change may, and most pro.
bably will, endanger the existence of the whole
fabric. Any accession of territory on the part of
one or more of the Powers, will necessitate a
new arrangement and another partition of Eu-
rope.- This very measure, though one of neces-
sity, may in itself present many difficulties in
regard to its accomplishment. In the present
irritation of the public mind, which universally
prevails, it may fairly be doubted bow far the
people themselves will tamely submit to be trans-
ferred like a herd of cattle, or like the sop of
fetidal times, from one master to another. Such
transfers, on the other hand, even when made
with the entire approbation of the people, in-
crease the territorial possessions of a Sovereign,
it is true, but they are far from adding any very
effectual strength to his political power. States
are by such means formed of such heterogeneous
materials, the manners, habits, religion, &c. of
the people thus brought under one sway are so
very discordant, that the whole fabric must be
necessarily deficient in solidity ; its various parts
are, indeed, so little cemented, that its existence
is unavoidably precarious.
In the event of a partition of Turkey, what
compensation would England obtain, as an equi-
valent for the increase of maritime power, which
would then accrue to Austria, but more especially
to Russia ?- Many years will no doubt elapse,
ere the navy of the former of the above-men-
tioned Powers can become a cause of alarm to
Great. Britain ; but this is not the case in regard
to Russia. The comprehensive mind of Peter
the Great soon perceived the importance of cre-
ating a Russian navy. Hence do we see him di-
rect his every effort to secure a port on the sea
of Azor, and resolutely persevere in becoming
master of the shores of the Gulph of Finland.—
His successors, imbued with similar principles,
have pursued the same policy, and neither•labour
nor expellees have been spared to place the Rus-
sian navy upon a most respectable footing. Such
being the policy of Russia, can Great Britain
witness, without some feelings of alarm, the ac-
cession of maritime importance which this Em-
pire would derive from the extension of its ter-
ritories along the shores of the Eu xine Sea 1—
And, on the other hand, how will Russia act, in
the event of England's stepping forth to op-
pose her ambitious career ? That she is not very
well disposed towards this Country, is made evi-
dent by the impediments she does not cease to
place is the way of any con►►nercial intercourse.
The truth of the matter appears to be this—that
the immense power and the inexhaustible re-
' sources displayed by England in the late long
and severe contest with France, have served only
to awaken the jealousy of the Continental Powers,
few of which would not gladly embrace the first
opportunity of humbling, or weakening, so for-
midable a rival.

This disposition of our good Allies leads its
naturally enough to throw a glance upon the
commercial concerns of the country. That they
have suffered considerably since the termination
of the war, admits of no contradiction : that they
will never be what they were at that period, is
perhaps no less certain, whilst it appears doub.-
ful whether they will ever materially hnpro%e.
Nearly excluded from the continental markets,
by his inability to compete with the low prices
at which goods may be manufactured abroad,
the British merchant has scarcely any other vent
for his merchandise than die borne, market and
the Colonies. The formes, owing to the exist-
ing distresses, is so far. from beneficial to him,
that goods are now every where offered up
for sale at a price for which 'they were never
manufactured : and the latter not only affords
him . no greater profit, but cannot, alone,
prove of any considerable advantage. At
a time when England monopolized the sale
of Colonial productions, the trade was highly

advanta4,reous, because they were sold at very
high prices upon the Continent; but now', when.
many of the Continental nations have Colonies •
of their own, or ,can procure such produce from
the Americans at a price comparatively mode-
rate, the sale of the British merchant is in a great •
measure limited to the home market, the activity
which is considerably lessened by the dis-
tresses of the times. However desirable, on the
score of humanity, the abolition 'of the Slave
Trade may have been, it has undoubtedly greatly
injured the West India trade. It
.will always
be difficult to prevent foreign Powers from carry-
ing on, in some manner or other, this iralatt7
man traffic; and however interested England,
may be to enforce the observance of exiStin&
treaties, she might still feel reluctant to make- '•
their secret violation a plea for a declaration of
war. Foreign Colonies will, therefore, most
probably be always supplied with a certain por-
Jlientif negro slaves, and will thus he enabled
to ivork al a -much lower-prigeetilon
planter. And the difficulties of the latter will
become greater in process of time, because as the
number of Slaves now in the English Colonies. •
decreases, the price of labour will proportion--
•ally increase. The prices. of . Colonial produce
• must be therefore raised also in proportion, and
as many of them are rather articles of luxury than
of absolute necessity, it is not impossible that the
consumption should be gradually diminished,_to
the no trifling• injury of the revenue. In the
distressing situation in which we are now placed,
we can therefore derive no great consolation
either from the state of markets abroad, nor from
the condition of manufactures at home. With a... 1
revenue which will probably not increase, and,:..
an expenditure which cannot, perhaps, well be
diminished, it is scarcely possible to lessen. in..
any. degree the financial embarrassments of the
country. What methods the Ministry will pro-
pose to alleviate public distress it is difficult to
foresee, but that something must be done, appears-
sufficiently obvious. , •
_

It is not, however, the commercial' interest of
the cquntry that has the greatest
.claim upon the
attention of Ministers ; the present condition. to .
which the Agriculturist' is reduced, a condition
which threatens to turn a large portion of once
fertile and highly 'cultivated lands into barzen
wastes, demands also their most serious attention.
Oppressed by the weight of taxes, crushed by
the heavy burthen of Poor's-rates, and almost
deprived of the means of subsistence by the low
prices at which he is compelled to part with the
fruits of his labour,' the farmer now finds himself
unable to cultivate his lands, and abandons. an
occupation which was once a source of weaitit -
and of enjoyment, but which now .can lead him•
only to destruction. Thus reduced in his Cir.
curnstances, scarcely able to pay his landlord,
and to procure the common necessaries of life,
11,• is obliged to reduce his expences, and this re
duction, in a country where-every article is either
subject to a tax, or to a duty, cannot tend to
prove the Revenue.
If we now turn to the internal state of tltt
country, the prospect is scarcely more cheering-
There prevails an universal spirit of dissatishic-
tion which threatens the tranquillity of the State.
The advocates of reform, tho Ugh divided into
several distinct classes, are numerous and loud in:
their reprobation of the existing system. of Go,
vernment. The just demands of the one,'-the
dangerous sophistry of the other, and the perni-
dons doctrines of a large portion, - pciwerfoll.y.
agitate the people;- and the disturbed situation of.
the public mind apparently forebodes 'a storm,
which the vessel of the State may find it difficult
to weather. At scarcely any previous perioddid
the' Legislators of the British empire meet to dis-
• charge more important duties than those which will
fall to the lot of the Members of the present HouSe:.
During the recess, the greater number of them
will have had both time and opportunity to be-
come thoroughly acquainted. with the real Situa-
tion of the country, and With:the disposition of
the.public mind : let us hope, therefore, that they
will have seriously considered these imporant
matters, and that they will come fully prepared
to do their utmost, if not to remove, at least to
lessen, the difficulties under which the country
now. labours. Ireland will particularly claim their
attention. It must be hoped that some effectual
measures will be adopted to put an end to -the
sanguinary outrages that disgrace that unhappy
country. Much has indeed been done by .the
appointment of Marqueis WELLESLEY to the
Lord Lieutenancy of that kingdorri ; but we
must look up to the British Parliament for an ef-
fectual remedy. The approaching Session Will
be, no doubt, stormy ; but let us hope that it
will prove also memorable in the British annals,
by the wisdom and policy of the resolutions
which will emanate from an assembly of enlight-
ened and truly. patriotic Statestnea.

On Monday last, GEORGE BAKER, Esq. of
Elemore Hall, made a liberal return to his tenan-
try on the payment of their half-year's rents.
A waarrel occurred in the pit at Ouston Col-
liery, on the 29th ult. between Wm. Snooks,
aged 22, and Robert Pigg, aged 16, which led
to the death of the former, and the committal of
the latter to prison, on a charge of manslaughter.
Snooks• having beaten Pigg for some neglect of
duty, the' latter threw a stone at him, which
striking him on the back part of the head, frac-
tured the skull, and occasioned his death on •the
2d inst. An inquest was held on Thursday and
Friday last, before Michael Hall, Esq. Coroner,
and a respectable Jury, -Allen a verdict of Mau-

STRASBURG, JAN. s.—At the moment that the
Journals of the capital informed us of the insane
attempt of malevolence on the Chateau of San-
mur, we did not expect that the town of Belfort
would be at the same time the theatre of a simi-
lar event Four individuals, who dishonoured
the epaulet they formerly wore, Sieurs PefTulu,
Deibordes, Brouke, and Lacombe, and were im-
p:icated in the conspiracy of the 19th of. August,
1620, attempted to seduce the 27th regiment of
the line in .garrison at Belfort ; but the conduct
of that 'faithful corps, commanded by. loyal
officers, defeated their project. Flight has un-
fortunately removed the conspirators from the
punishment whiCh Was due to them. TranqUil-
