[BRITISII PRESS.]
At the Council held at Windsor, on Friday, it
was resolved to issue a Proclamation, enforcing
the provisions of the Foreign Enlistment Act.
This Proclamation was published in last night's
GazOte, and will be found at length in a pre-
ceding; column.—After noticing the happy terms
of peace and amity on which Great Britain is with
the Powers of Europe and America, and the strict
neutrality his 'Majesty is determined to main-
tain in the disputes of some of those Powers
with their former subjects, it observes, that all acts
of hostility by individuals, subjects of this realm,
against any of those Powers are calculated to call
in question the sincerity of his Majesty's declara-
tion of neutrality, and to provoke those powers
to make reprisals on the persons and property of
his Majesty's subjects. The proclamation then
adverts to the war between the Otto Man Porte
and the Greeks, and the attempts that are mak-
ing to fit out ships of war and privateers in Bri-
tish ports, and commanded and manned by Bri-
tish Officers and seamen, to cruise against the
Ottoman Porte, contrary to the provisions of the
Foreign Enlistment Act, which prohibits all his
Majesty's subjects from enlisting into foreign ser-
vice, or fitting out or equipping, in his Majesty's
dominions; vessels for warlike purposes, without
his Majesty's leave. His Majesty, therefore,
commands all his subjects, that they do not take
any part in the said contest, nor infringe this law,
the violation of which is a misdemeanour, and
will, on conviction, subject
,the offenders to fine
and imprisonment. All ships engaged for such
warlike purposes are liable to be forfeited, and
all Officers of his Majesty's forces and customs
are charged to seize them wherever they may be
found. _

Another very uninteresting day passed on the
Stock Exchange yesterday. In Consols, which
opened at 88, sellers, there was scarcely any bu-
siness doing till towards four o'clock, when the
market became much more cheerful, and several
bargains were completed at 88,i, buyers, making
an improvement on the day's business, which
closed much more lightly than it commenced.
Money was considerably easier.—The Foreign
Market remained nearly stationary as to prices,
and inactive as to business. The only difference
in it was in Spanish Bonds, which were a shade
worse, the old being done at 1611. En the new,
some transactions took place at 121 13. The
business in the Share Market was as unimportant
as that in the Foreign Market.—ln Mincing-
lane very extensive business was done in Sugar,
at full is. per cwt. advance. The Coffee sales
were dull. The Exchanges were nearly sta-
tionary, and very little business was doing.—

DIORNING CHRONICLE.]
The Proclamation, which bus for several days
been expected, against fitting out ships of war or
privateers against the Turks, or otherwise vio-
lating the provisions of the Foreign Enlistment
Bill, at length made its appearance in the Ga-
zette last night. The wording of the preamble
bears s.utficient evidence of the quarter from
which the application to enforce the law has been

made :
" And whereas the Ottoman Porte, a power at peace with
his. Majesty, is, and has been for some years past, engaged in a
contest with the Greeks, in which contest his Majesty has ob-
served a strict neutrality : And whereas great numbers of his
Majesty's loyal subjects reside and carry on a beneficial com-
merce, and possess etablishments and enjoy privileges within
the dominions ofthe Ottoman Porte, protected by the faith of
treaties between his Majesty and that Power."
The Government cannot certainly be accused of
,precipitation in taking this step. From the
moment that so much notoriety was given to the
' arrangement with Lord Cochrane, it was no
longer possible for Ministers to shut their eyes.—
It has been supposed by some, that the object of
giving this publicity was to force on an inter-
ference on the part of Government, which..would
afford a pretext for withholding the remainder
of the Loan. Others think that it was altoge-
ther a stock-jobbing ruse. When we consider
the respectability of the parties. who originated
the report, we cannot bring ourselves to believe
that they would lend themselves to ,such very
questionable conduct.

Of the many distinguished individuals connect-
ed with the Silk Trade examined by the Com-
mittees of the Legislature, we observe that Mr.
Hale alone took a part in the proceedings at the
Meeting of Silk Manufacturers on Monday._
We cannot therefore consider that Meeting as
by any means representing the Silk Manufac-
turers of the Metropolis. We. do not believe
that there is that stagnation in the Silk Trade
which is stated in the Resolutions. We see
every where signs of a very ,different state of
things. In Derbyshire, Cheshire, and Lanca-
shire, new establishments have lately sprung up;
in. Suffolk and Essex the same thing has taken
place ; and, within the last few months, the ma-
nufacture has been extending itself in the envi-
rons of the Metropolis.—(ibid.)

We have received American Papers to the 6th
'of September. They are altogether barren of po-
litical intelligence, except that the observation, of
some Newspapers here about the Georgian affairs
:appears to have raised the anger of the Transat-
!antic Editors. In allusion to some articles on that.
subject in the Courier, the Aurora of Philadelphia
remarks, that those who argue on a dissolution of
the Union on such grounds are not wise. "
th9se, who think the Union in danger deduce
it," quoth the Aurora (Sept. 5), " from the
movements' in Georgia, it will certainly turn out
to be an unfortunate selection of arguments for
its object, The result of the Georgia business
will only add another to the many previous practical
p,roofs of the vigour and stability of the Federal
Government, and of its capacity and power to
guide the nation through every peril, whether
foreign or domestic. We know of no, " states-
en,"tn at. present, on this side of the Atlantic,
who believes in the heresy uttered by the Courier.
If that Journal knows any such, it would " per-
form an acceptable service.by naming them. All
this may be very fine ; but, as the old proverb
says," time will tell !" A hundred years ago he
