The •
eution of the Merchants of Paris to the
as t'f PaaNce, given in our Paper of yester-
re-PraYing for what in effect would amount to
Ame G.gnitlea of the Independence of the South
r can States places the French Government
..the p an
et' dilemma. The prayer of
etition
.s altogether so reasonable, that it
c'alung be rerosea without implying in the French
G rernment a most culpable inattention . to the
cial interests of France; and, if complied
th,
sanctions the principles of revolution,
a
" brings Austria, Russia, and Prussia,
m °lle concentrated power upon her. Which
f
the two alternatives will France take ?
To •
- wise and efficient Government, with a real
;tad hearty desire to promote the welfare of the
"IntrY it governs, the alternative presents no dif-
fl'ultles ;but the case is far otherwise when a Go-
vernin?nt is entangled by its relations with foreign
,tyres, and those relations bear ‘ll character that
Prevents their exhibition to the public eyes and
such, we think, is the case of France. The
doctrines, the principles, the practical govern.
Inent Of Russia and Austria are hostile to liberal
Politics, and so far are hostile to the real and
hest.Policy of the French Cabinet; and when the
lets of that Cabinet ever since the restoration of
the Bourbons are considered, it will be seen how
the real and best interests of the people have
been sacrificed where they at all clashed with
the Previous disposition of the Sovereign, or the
10", of the persons to whom that Sovereign
had
Committed the care of the Empire. The
'hvasian'of Spain irrecoverably fixed the prin..
eiPles by which the French Cabinet would from
that time forward be guided, and bautill France
to the Holy Alliance with the strongest bond.
ti Elder these circumstances we cannot very long
''
doubt what will be the issue of the Petition, and
the
remarks of the Etoile (a demi official paper)
clearly shew the nice distinction (not to call it a
Paltry subterfuge) that will be adopted in order
to say,.
-- appearances with the country, and to per-
sist in the conduct that has been hitherto put--
stied. This distinction is, that the question is one
Politics not of commerce. The Government of
Trance affirms that the intervention of commerical
agents is not reqUired ; that permission to trade to
the South American ports has been already ob-
tained/ and squadrons are now in the South Sea
and the Gulf of Mexico, for the protectiont
14ertch Commerce. This may be true, but
y
't
aa means shows that resident commercial
agents are not wanting. The contrary has been the

established pr:uciple ,for. ages, .Amd.have we 2.11
this time been golng OU. wrong and inciiriing:
useless eitpence ?' Surely riot"; Tor"tlie *rind war

is required. The prinission to trade was obtained

from:Spain, from a country whose authority 1ia.41.
been renounced, whose power has been annilit.E'
lated ; so that the very trade 'of France is a serious:
offence to the South American Governments, a.
positive defiance thrown -in their teeth, and an
utter disregard of
,their hiws and Constitutions.—
If this is so, the distinction vanishes ; it never'
had any real foundation, and plain common sense.
revolts at the idea of treating a question of com-
merce alone and distinct from a questi.On of policy.
They are intimately connected, and Cannot be,
separated. England has takeh up the question
as a question of policy and cornme'rce,and in con-
sequence her trade. with South America is per-
milled, the trade of France is -ba;-ely tolerated.
The value of . the trade the- French. Government
is thus trifling with may be imagined from- a
disclosure hi the Petition, viz. that BoOdeaux
and Havre alone sent- 50. ships to South America
last year with French produce and manufacturei
to the value of 33 millions—besides GO ships to
the ' ports -of Cuba and ; whereas '2OO ships
for Martinique, G uada loupe, Newfoundland;
Cayenne, Senegal, and Pondicherry, have not
exported, half the vaine.

ft appenrs by the Paris Pai)ers of Monday that
e departure of the Emperor of AusTitit for

Italy was to take place on, the 7th instant ; and
among our extracts is a letter from Milan, dis-
closing some information respecting the intended
Congress o Sovereigns in that city. The Em-
peror of 'lttYssiA and the King of PausstA are
expected there ; and the King of NAPLES will, at
the earnest request of his Imperial relative, also
be present at the Congress. It is believed that
the visit of Prince de METTERNICH to Paris was
undertaken to prepare the way for the confer-
ences that are to take place at Milan, which, it
is said, will embrace, not only the affairs of
Italy, but also the most complicated and impor-
tant interests which, now occupy the attention of
Europe.
The Toile gives a translation of the tnessage
of the Vice-President SANTANDER to the.Colotn-

bian Congress, and says, " after reading this
messaooe in which we remark wisdom) modera.
-
tion, and dignity, what becomes of the virulent
declamation against the French Ministry .for not
having anticipated, or at least followed England,
in recognizing the
.independence of Colombia'"

Frankfort Pnpers to the Bth ingtant arrived

this morning, but their contents are not of any
importance. A Notice has been issued by the
Beard of Commerce at Embden, calling upon
all Masters of East Friesland vessels, which,
since the year ISI. 5, have made voyages to and
from East Friesland and the ports of the Nether-
lands, to produce their receipts for the Bork=
light-house money paid by them to the several
Netherlands' offices, in order that the amount
may be refunded to them by the Government of
the Netherlands, this money having been levied
by mistake on the ships of East Friesland.

The Allgemeiae Zcitung of the 6th April, con-
tains no political news, or any thing worth notice
except the foilou;ing article respecting the Seces-
sion of some Roman Catholics to the Protestant
Church :

UPTER AUSTRIA, 3.lAucn 20.

The Leipsig Literary 'gazette, No. 010, Dec. 1824, says,
that at Gallneukirchen, nearly 400 per Sons have gone over to the
Protestant Church, and ate incorporated in the parish of the Rev.
M. Kotschy at Efferding. We can contradict this statement With
this assurance, that it has indeed happened at ,Galineukirchea
and in the neighbourhood, that several -Missionaries,. called
Boosnians, from their famous Clergyman Boos who led thern
astray, were disposed to separate from the Roman Catholic Com-
munity, and that according to the laws crt toleration in force here,
this secession was allowed them; but after the termination of.
the'religious instructions which the law prescribes, only 14 of
these visionaries declared their intention of going over to the
Protestant Church, and not one of these persons is incm.P3-
rated among the parishioners of M. Kotschy at .Efferding,
or is likely to be so in future.

The Nuremberg Correspondent of the 6th
instant informs us that M. SCIILATTER, who was
appointed by the Canton of Berne to examine
the experiments made at Eglisau,
find salt by boring, bus theim, and Biel, to
reported that little if any can be found there,
and even supposing it could be procured in
sufficient quantity, that it would be more advan
tageous for Switzerland to purchase its supplies
of this indispensable article from Wirtemberg
than t
and Baden, as heretofore, o establish
salt-works within its own country at an enorrii-
()us expence• "file decision of the Swiss Can.
