The'aetive getalue and coristant observation of the inha-
bitants of St. Domingo have carried the preparation of colo-
nial- produce to a degree of :perfection Whitt 'the neighbour-
' log colonies have been unable to attain. The fabrication of •
indigo esidne seemed condemned to be the perpetual sp'ort of
-chance, and the caprice of circumstances.. Its suecesswas
always doubtful. The fabricator of indigo who only lost a
tenth of the coves, or vats, of that plant, was considered as
There were sortie ‘vho lost a fourth. The hOiaunr of
scertaining invariable rules was reserved for the intelligence
and experience of M. Nazon, inhaleitantrof the quarter of
Mit:balms. The arts are indebted to him for' certain marks,
. accordine• to which ukhgo is made upon !principles as cone
stint as those which direct the etfiner in the manufacture of
sugar. N. Eruley, who has imparted this discovery in an
_excellent Memoir upon Indigo', read, in the Lyceum of Arts,
on the Floreal, year 9, expresses. himself thus :---A"fhese
precious advantages France will henceforth enjoy'. She. owes
itein the labours-and the intelligence of Citizen Nazone a co-
lonist, and a proprietor at St. pommel), but at present in

se‘rvations and-long exnerienc: lie•has.been enabled to secure

are twelve feet, Freisi metres., The
ceratiint requires train I. to .; emirs ; more or less,
aceorditig- to the temperei nee ;:ee, := experienced-at the Mo-
ment. Jt is also-necessary to Lave reeard to the quality-of
the plant, the nature of life soil• that produced it, and that
of the water in which it is immereed. The first index' which
'shews that the maceration approaches it_peoper point, _is the'
.sinking of the Scum, or fonat, which rises into the space of
about a sixteenth of a nieree, that was left vacant in the cure
on compressing the herbs. (.1. metre is three feet). When
the cute is eovered•with a kind of crust of a copper blue, the
moment of sufficient Maceration is hot' far distant. This
symptou,. however; •is insufi cient, and Men deetti,tful.—
There is another on which more reliance eae he-phteed;"
that is,. to draw nom a ...pent, or cock, in the lowole part of
- the CUNT, a little of the thud it conteins. It is received in a
silver cup ; when the fekulent particles beginto precipitate to
the bottbni- Of the cup, -then it is judged,that the: herbs have,
attained the true degree of nraCeration for obtaining indigo.
Such--was the proceditreornost in use ; bet it too often led to
error. A certain mean to secure correctness, is to ely;erve
carefully the water contained in the cup. Five. or six mi-
nute, after it has been placed there, it: tOrrns round the sides
of the cup a glory (aureole.) ,thlecortion of feculai or sediment,
at first of a green .7olour, and•then blue. When the macera-
tion is not at the requisite point, this cordon orgirdle has dif-
ficulty to detach itself from the sides of the cupe but finally
precipitates, and comiccuirates at the bottom of the vase,- al-
ways towards the centre,nnid the water above it becOmes •
pid, thatigh of a yellowish tinge. -•
".Then these sieeos- are perceived. they indicate infallibly
the stiecess of this ,first operation. The liquid is then placed
into a second basin or etve, made below the former. This
second cure is called liatterie, because the use is to beat the
fluid still charged with theefeculae .That it may speedily de-
tach itself, it is stirred : this operation is performed with the'
-arm, oe'with a mill. It is essential that it be not beaten too
long: a timee exci•ess of beating mixes anew the fecuite with
the water, from which they cannot be again separated, and
the contents of-the cure are lost,:, in place of indigo only
troubled water is Z)btained.• • • '
" The latter inconvenience May be easily avoided with a
little attention. When it is observed that the feculent parti-
cles are sufficiently united, the water is poured from the bat-
terie into nthird and Owner basin or cave, called diablotiti.
The bottom of the batterie is fotind covered with a blue and
very liquid paste thiS, is received in sacks of coarse linen, in
form of reversed cones, and the watery parts ace left to drain
from them.. .The sacks are then emptied upon tables in the
seehoirs, or drying places.; the blue paste is kneaded; when
it becomes thick, it is spread, and cut in small squares, that
it untythe sooner become dry. The indigo is then Made, and
is stsonsutiiciently dryto be marketable. I suppress .details
contaanetkin a much lonpir memoir, of which I furnish* only
an extract. It was important, to make known, that there exists
et cc-nit prOcess,' by ptirsuing which there is no fear of being
deceived in the fabrication of indigo.
Experience, bas proved -that this process has never failed
to produce complete success; mote than 1500 eaves, fabricated
ziording-to it in different quarters of St. Doutingo,..have fur-
niched proofs of its correctness."

Tit only remains to put the indigo in sacks, which
should be suspended to facilitate the expression-of
the water it still retains. It is then put to dry in
t'ae,sun, 41 boxes made for that purpose. Before
it is perfectly dry, it is cut in small pieces of an
inch square, which detach themselves readily fron
the box when the indigo is entirely dry. The in -
, halfitain-s of Terra Firma dry the indigo under
sheds: This method is more tedious, Inie.is

L An Account of a Tribe of People culled KroO-
' men, inhabiting a smolt District the Grain.
Coast of Africa, betweon Cape Mount ond Cape

' - .mealy Governor of .sierra Leone',. and one or the
Cdra'missioners of;African: Inquiry.
-The district inhabitedhy the-kroomel, extendx
accOrding to the'biaps, about twenty miles alommg:
the coast, from north-cVeSt to smith-east. Its ex'-
teat inland, is not accurately known, but it is sum-

the sea coast. The 14:roc) country lies between''.
54..-a'nd 7. north !:-i;:..itude. Vettra-E.'roo, the_
in July:. 7. 4,,3.
The general aspect.af dire country is champaigni
and it is very woody. It is •free, however, from -
Marshes. TB chief-vegetable pratictions are -riee, '
cassada, yam r,, and .:mialaguetta peFper.
The rite which it produces is valued by Euro-
peans on an accomrmt irs simperior whiteness to
:what is in gerleral to be met with .on the coast.
,Therivers :hr-ugh it tl&not appear to ,
be large; :mar to rise at any great distance fromit
the- coact,- although the-Kroomen, whfmseTepre—
sentatlons of distance are nor vemy precise, speak
of them as.eXJ-entling.k great way. They are said
to.be full, of banks and shoals, \thielf obstruct the
navigation.
In t e roo country there are but Live tow-,:s;"
'viz. Littie-kroo, 7filch the northernmost; then
Bettri77-1:ion, which is the chief town ; then Kroo-
bah, Kroo-settra, and lastly,. Will's-town. A
ftmysmallviliages, inhabited by straw-revs or slaves,
are said to be scattered over' the intermediate
space, and at a greater distance from the shore,
probably for the purpose of carrying on their cal-
tivation. The population of this small district is
supposed to be greater than in most other. coun-
tries on the:coast. No less th'int- 800 Ktoonicti
were estimated to he working as labourers .at
Sierra Leone in the year 1809 ; and Kroomen are
-said to be found, though not in such large bodies,
yet in considerable numbers, at every factory, nay.
at ahnost every village, in the intermediate space,.
which is an extent of 330 miles. Besides this,
they are employed by all time vessels trading he-
twcen Cape Mount and Cape Palmas, to carry on
their trade, as factors and interpreters, and also
assist in thae. work of navigation, and particularly-,
in manning boats. They are also to be found,
though in inferior numbers, on other parts of the
Coast. •
The Kroomcn who thus employ themselves,
either 'as traders, sailors, or labourers, IA a (Es.,
tance from, home, are seldom less than fifteen
years of age or more than forty. • Those who. re-m'
•main at home are chiefly employed in agriculture,
aid a few in fishing. They rear also a few cattle,

be articles which the cultivate are rice, cassada,
yams, and plantanes.
The,land seems to forrit a.common stock, and
not to descend by inheritance. Each man settles,
or rather cultivates, where be pleaseo. Agricul-
tural labour is conducted chiefly *by women,
though sometimes by domestic slaves.
The commerce of the ICroomen is carried on
entirely by barter, as they, have no fixed medium
.of exchange.. The artieies which are in greatest dee
mand amongthem are tobacco, cotton cloth of East
India fabric, • a few English shawls and handler-
" chiefs, leather trunks, fire-itima, bar-iron,
which they man ufacture th emselves into implements
of husbandry, knives, &C.; and cowries, which are
used.in making:their: fetishes or amulets. In te-
rns, for these- articles, they sell a little ivory,
palm-oil, Malaguettapepper,. and ricer,. and occa-
sionally supply ships with fire-Wood, plantanes,
cassada, and even with. bullocks. They will some-
times row off in very-small canoes to ships at a
distance Of fotir leagues from the shore, With not
more of these articles than will procure for -them
a few leaves of tobacco,
.reekoning. their toil and
hazard as nothing. Their chief article of barter;
however, is their labour; which they hire to -,Eu-
ropeana in the way which has been already de-
scribed.- This is the source from which they de-
rive by far the greater part of their imported com-
modities. They have long been the exclusive in-
termediate merchants, or rather factors, between
tween the vessels trading on this part of the coast
and the people of the interior; and while the
Slave Trade flourished, this employment occupied.
a -considerable number of bands. Since the abo-
lition of that trade they have sought other, lines
of service, and, in the year 1809, as has been al-
ready mentioned, the number of those who bad
hired themselVes as labourers at Siorra Leone
alone, a place distant about 350 miles from their
own country, was estimated at 800.
The form if their government is monarchical ;
but. it appears that the old men (the Aristocracy)
of the country possess considerable influence, and
that the power of the monarch is small, except
When it is supported by their influence. Each
town has a chief, whom they designate King, at
least in conversing-with Europeans ; but there is
one chief whois considered as superior to the rest,
and who rules over the whole. The power, how-
ever, of the inferior chiefs seems to be very great
is their own districtS, and their power is probably.
hereditary. At the same time the children 'of the.
greatest chief work as labourers, while they arc
young men, in exactly the same manner as the,
people ; nor are they to be, distinguished, on or-
dinary occasions, either by their dress, or hY.the
superior respect which is paid to them.
With respect to the principal nionarcb, I ap-
;irehend that his power is seldom brought into
action ; and that instead of being the source of
all authority, the fountain of justice, the original
proprietor and ultimate heir of all lands, he is in
general not more than the last referee 'in im-
portant disputes, and the person in whose name
business with other countries is transacted. A
national war indeed must, in conformity with
this last principle, be carried on in his name ; and
hacked by this, the real agents compel the ser-
vice's of ail the people 3 but independently of the
coningcurr voice of those head men, who possess
the greatest share of activity and talent, his power
is probably far leSs than that of some of his own.
subordinate chiefs. This is a remark which ap-
plies not to the Kroo country in particular, but
to all the African tribes which have not adopted
the Mohammedan faith.
_

I could not learn distinctly in what manner the

chief authority was conveyed, whether by inheri-
tance or otherwise. I have reason to believe that
a sort of prime minister, or vice-king, is named
by the king, who, in case of the king's, death, will
possess the sovereign power ; but whether as a
mere locum tenons on account of the youth of the
regular successor, or whether, being in posse3sion
of the chief power, be will continue to hold it till
his own death, or whether he has been chosen as
being the next heir in lineal succession, and there-
fore will succeed as a matter of course, I could not
learn. A mourning, or cry, of seven days conti-
nuance, takes place on the death of a king, during
which time it appears that all arrangements re-
specting. the succession are made.

TWENTY-TKIRD BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.

Moscow, October 9.

PARIS, OCT. 27.—The advanced guard, corn-

manded by the King of NAPLES, is upon the Naia,

Icagues from Moscow. The enemy's army is

upon the Kalouga.

Some skirmishes have taken

place for the last three days.

Pie King of NAPLES has had all the advantage,

and always dniven the enemy from their positions.

The Cossacks hover upou our flanks. A patrole

oflso dragaons of the guard, Ommanded by Ma-

;Or MARTHOD, has fallen into an ambuscade of

the Cossacks, between the road of Moscow and

lialouga: The dragoons sabred 300 of them, and

opened tbentsebrel a passage ; but they left 50
men upon the field of battle, who were taken ;

among which is the Major dangerously wounded.
The Duke of E.T.4IIING2N is .at Bohorodock.—

The advanced guard of the Viceroy is at Troitsa,
•
upon the road to Dmitrosv.
The colours taken by the Russians from the

Turks in different wars, and several curious things

found in the Kremlin, have been sent off for. Paris.

'We found a lladona enriched with diamonds.—

has also been sent toParis. We add here a

statistical account of Moscow; which was foUnd

among the papers of the palace.

le appears that RAsTorcHIN has emigrated.
At Voronovo he set fire to his castle, and left the

following <writing attached to a -post
" I have for eight Years embellished this coun-
try-house, and I have lived happy in it in the bo-
som of my family. The Inhabitants of this

state, to tue number of 1720) quit it at your ap-
proach*, and I set fire to my house that it may
not be polluted by your presence. Frenchmen; I
have abandoned to you my two Mosccw houses,

here you will only find ashes.t
(Signed) " Count FIDOR RASTOPCHIN."
0 They have returned.
-t In truth, he set fire to his country house, but.-this exam.
pie has but few imitators. All the houses in the neighbour-
hood of Moscow are intrenched.

VORONOVA, SEPT. 29.—The Palace of Princq
KURAKI.N iS one of those which have been saved

from the fire. General Count NAUSOUTY is lodged
in it. ;We succeeded with great difficulty in with--
drawing from the hospitals and houses on fire

a part of the Russian sick.
There remain about 4000 of these wtctehed

men. The number of those who perished in the

fire is extremely great.
We have had, for the last eight days, a warmer
sun than is experienced at Paris at this season.--

We do not perceive that we are in the North.
The Duke of REGGIO, who was at Wilna, has

entirely recovered.

The enemy's General-in-Chief, BAonATIow, is

dead of the wound which he received at the battle.

of Aloskwaf

The Russian army disowns the fire of Moscow :

the authors of this attempt are held in detestation
among the Russians. They► eonsider RASTOPCIIIN
as a sort of MAR AT. He has been able to con-

sole himself in the society of the English Com-

missary WiLspiq.

The Staff-Major will cause .the details of the
battles of Smolensk and Moskwa to be printed,

and point out those who distinguished themselves•
We have just armed the Kremlin with 30 pieces

of Fannon, and constructed chevaux-dc-frize at

all the entrances of it. It forms a fortress ; bake-

houses and magazines are established in it.

PARIS, OCT. 23.—Minister of General Police,—

Three Ex-Generals, MALLET, LAPORL', and Gul-

DAL, have deceived some National Guards, and d:

rected them against the General Member of Po-
lice, the Prefect, and the Commandhnt of. La..

Place de Paris. They committed violences against

them. They frdsely spread the report of the Em-
peror's death, Three Ex7Generais have been ar-

rested ; they have been convicted_ of imposture ;

justice is going to be executed upon them. The
most absolute tranquility ieigus at Paris. it was

troubled in three hotels where the Brigands went.

The present Decree shall be aublished, affixed,
&c. &c. &c.

(Signed) The Duke of Rovico,
The Minister of General Police.

PARIS, OCT. 25.—The individuals arrested yes-

terday, and those suspected of being their ac-
complices have to-day been transferred to the Ab-

baye. A military commission has been appointed
to decide upon their fate. It has met to-day, and
heard the charges and interrogatories read.
Pants, OCT. 28.—The intelligence in private
letters from the army, comes down to October 9;
at that epoch, the inhabitants of Moscow who bad

retired at the approach of our troops, commenced

to return to the capital. The genurou. goodness

with which his Majesty the Emperor had d:stt ihule4

succours to all those whom thc fire had reduced to

misery, has excited the.gratitqcle of the irihabitants;

and in proportion as the fugitives return to their

homes, the peasants of the neighbouring country
become more assured, and hasten to furnish the

markets and wiarehouses of Moscow with all

kinds of provisions. Ills Majesty the EmtEnun

alwayi enjoys good health.

NUREMBERG, OCT. 18.=`r1We Polish General

DEMBROWSKI has beaten the Russian Generals

DECUR and BIR4Now, in two bloody battles upon

the Berezina. They have:fell back upon Mozyar.

Marshal the Duke of BEI,LIT NO'S, corps has ar-

rived in the Town of Muisk and its neighbour-

GERONA, OCT. 17.—According to intelligence
this moment received from Gen. LANIARQUE, CORI-

niandant of Upper Catalonia, Marshal SOULT'S

army has fortunately effected its junction with the
Army of .the Centre,' commanded by his Majesty
the King. of SPAIN, and. with that commanded

by the Duke of ALBUFERA. This mass of
force, which nothing can resist, has already

commenced operation's; the results of which must

be decisive.

BERLIN, OCT. 15.----lutelligence from Konigs-

berg states, that General D'YORK'S. head-quarters

LOSS OF HIS MAJESTY'S SHIP CENTINEL,, AND 20

SAIL ,OF MERCHANTMEN.

YARMOUTH, OCT. 30.—Arrived yesterday even-
ing after post, his Majesty's ship Mercurius, with
about thirty sail of • the homeward bound Baltic
convoy; 'the reminder ate dispersediin the North-
sea. The Mercurius brings an account of the loss
of the Centinel gun-brig, and twenty vessels
of this .convoy, on Ilugen Island, and the shoals
leading into the Great Belt; crews happily
saved. This unfortunate event
.took pl:lce on the
night of the 'loth lust, His Majesty's ship Aqui-
inn bad arrived at Gottenburg,h. The mbasador
flout Spain to nussia has arrived here, and will
will embark on board his Majesty's ship Arab.

Our Letter from Torbay mentions a report,
brought by the aptain' of the American ship Ex-
periment, which was captured by his Majesty's
ship Rover, that the Maidstone- frigate' has been
taken -by the American frigate the Essex. Neither
the date nor any particulars are mentioned, and as
we know the propensity of American Captains t 6
propagate false intelligence, we are not inclined
to attach any credit to this, rumour. No accounts
upon the subject have reached the Admiralty, and
we know that on the 17th Sept. the Maidstone
was cruizing in company with the Spartan frigate.
—lt is not improbable that the capture of the
Guerrierc may have led to this report.

REPORTED tAPTi;IZE OP' TUE MAIDSTONE FRIGHT 2

BY THE ESSEX AMERICAN FRIGATE.

Tar.rAY, OCT. 29.—Put in last evening, after
post, not being able to reach Plymouth, the Ex-
-perinient letter of n,wque, carrying six 'guns, with
a cargo of cotton and rige, ofßaltimore, but from
Charlestown, bound to BoUrdeaux, and taken on
the 21st, after a chase of 12 hours, within 20
miles of the Corduan, by his Majesty's . ship Ro-
ver. The Captain of the American reports, that
his Majesty's frigate Maidstone-had been captured
by the American frigate Essex, and that the Ame-
ricans have schooners building 120 feet in length,
supposed to be for privateers.

PkYMOUTti; OCT. 29.—Arrived the ship Bruns-
wick, O'CLARY, in 26 days from Quebec; left the
ltiver St. Lawrence with a convoy -of. 113. sail un-
der his"..Majcisty'sship Prometheus, and parted from
them on the 20th inst. in a heavy gale of,wind.—
The Brunswick kept company with the Flora, and
parted from her in the Channel, and left her pro-
ceeding for London.

. Sailed his Majesty's ships Bittern for Basque
Roacis, and the Reindeer on a cruize in the Chan-
nel.

DEAL, OCT. 30—Remain in the Downs seven-
teen sail of the line, several sloops of war, the
whole of the outward bound, besides coasters 'and
colliers, all wind-bound.

PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 30.—Arrived his Majesty's'
ships:Loire, Peacock, and Slag, from the Downs ;
the Stork from Plymouth with a convoy ; the
Hope from, a cruizc; and the ship Flora from
Quebec.

Sailed his Majesty's ship Plover with hornewdrd
bound and ‘others, under convoy for the Downs,
but the wind varying more to the southirard, the
whole have conic back.

FALMOUTH, Cr T. 28.--Arrived the Sear, M&Y,
from Malaga and Lisbon, ten days from the latter
place, with the loss of booms, &c. &c.

On Friday, the 23d inst. the Duro brig, James
Tucker, master, was captured between the Eddy--
stone and theßam-head; by the Seas Surd French
privateer, commanded by M. Rossee. The crew
and Fasfengers were used in the handsomest man.;.
ner tw the captors. The French Captain and ofii-
cers gave up their beds to them. On Suu:ky they
were informed that it was the intention of Ate ,
Captain to release them, on condition of kaving:
seve4al French prisoners of war here, friends to the
Captain, exchanged. They were furnished with a_
letter to the TranspOrt Board, and the Captain of
tlic privateer widtrEvok to laud them at the
zard ; but a British frigate hove in sight, and the
privateer made sail off the coast. 41 second attempt
was un-de to laud them at :Guernsey, but that was
rendered unavailing by the appearance of a brig
in chase of them. The, Captain then ran to the
isle of Bas., where he gave the crew his launch,.
with a compass, chart, sails, brandy and provisi-
ons, to reach England. Some time after they tell
in with the Linnet sloop of war, which towed their
boat to-,the coast of Devonshire, where they
landed on Monday last.

REFoßm.—The present seems to be the age of
reform; not only for Parliaments but Play-houses .
Since the opening of the Winter Theatres this spi-
rit has broken out among the lower part of the
audience, and all the fury of an O.P. uproar has
been directed against those Ladies who presumed
to . place their cloaks on the . front ,of ,the
Boxes, till they were removed. This truly ridi-
culoUs zeal for decorum appears in .the following
hand-bill, which has been circulated through the
town, and we insert it that the Ladies may he
aware of the insult which they suffer from turbu-
lent vulgarity which appears under the affecta.
tion of taste, delicacy, and respect for 'good man-,
ners.

THEATRE.—Ladks putting shawls, tippets, cloaks, &c. over
the fronts of the Boxes, disfigures Theatres.
Gentlemen sitting on the fronts of the Boxes, and thereby
turning their backs to the Audience, is insulting and inde-
cent. _ _

Gentlemen of the Pit—You who 'have ever been considered
the best judges, in Theatres, are locked up to for a reform of
the bad practices, above-mentioned; it is therefore hoped,
that, whenever a shawl or cloalt, or .any thing of the sort
shall be hung over a Box, you will raise your voices and cause
it to he removed; and that whenever a Gentleman in a Box.
shall turn his, back to you, you will resent the insult.
• Gentlemen 4. the Gallery—Yon, who on a tate occasion !let•
a good examp'.e to the Box Company, by taking in your costs,
hats. &c. as soon as the impropriety- Was pointed out, and
joined your Pit Brethren.—Assist them again; persevere and
you cannot. fail to succeed; one good Regulation usually lead.;
to another.

AnifXatilvin, OCT. 26.—From the year 1750,
the North F;.ik, in Icincardineshire, emptied itself
'into the sea upon the lands of Kirkside and Wood-
stone. About a twelvemonth ago, however, in
conscquence of an . overflow in the river, and a
very high tide, it excavated a new channel on the
lands of Comieston, upon which, on an average,
one-half of its contents continued to run during
the last fishing season. A new revolution has now
taken place in the course of the.river, which, on
Monday last, completiy opened out its old clan.
Del upon the lands -of .Kirkside and Woodstone,
by which a valuable property is restored to its
former proprietors. This river had, several time 3
'previous to the first mentioned dale, undergone 8,
similar change from the satnetcanses and, upon
one of these occasions, it gave rise to a long and
• expensive litigation,' between the new and old
proprietors, which Wa.S at int decided in favour
of the gentleman on N:'hose grounds the river had
begun to flow ; all. artificial means -employed to
obstruct or charge the course of a river being

VtLEBRATION OF THE ELECTION OF THE RIGHT

HON. GEORGE CANNING.

On Monday last a highly respectable company,
tie friends
of about 400 Freemen and,Gentlemen,
friends of Mr. CANNING, partook of an-ele-
Vnt dinner at the Liverpool ArmsHotcl.—The
„rge room was suitably fitted up for the occasion,
e front of the orchestra being beautifully deco-
rateds'i with a 'crown, composed of lamps, inter-
oved with wreaths of laurel; and at the other
114 of the room a transparency, presenting the
dumber 1631, which was the number of Freemen
t,uo placed Mr, CANNING, with so large a majo-.
ltY, at the head of the poll.

. , .
, Mr. CANNING then rose ; and, in a most elo-
rent speech, in substance spoke to the folloW-_
:IS effect :—He observed, it had been his lot
k(en to rise in other places, with.the weight of
'qNtientous questions upon his shoulders, and
Zith the anticipation of honourable controversy;
4ts however, never rose in: his life with such ideasi.
4Ni under such embarrassments as he did at pre- •
Ite'lt. There is. somethinf_, in opposition which
t!litnates, but kindness only orerwhelMs -; and his
rst fear in rising to address them w is, that he
3'''ght not be able to finish what he might wish to
as-the-expression of his own feelings, and in
acknowledgments for those which they had
:Pressed towards him. In a political life, of no
I:ry short duration, be • observed, that he had
f ,4ny duties to fulfil; and LC had endeavoured to

t greatest, most powerful., wealthy, and en-

themselves, as the lovers anti advocates of peace,
as absurdly as if an inhabitant of a West! India
island, amidst earthquake's and 'volcanoes;
should talk, of physical order and perpendicular
position. Who does not love. light better' than
darkness ? But when the storm is abroad for Our-
- poses inscrutable to us in the moral and physical
worldwhen Providence has let loose upon us
this scourge of mankind, to talk of loving peace
in the abstract, would he a reflection upon the un
derstanding of those men, if it did not call in
question the heart. Absurd as the doctrine was,
when applied to our state and the state of the
world in general, with what aggravated:absurdity
did it present itself to our view in a great com-
mercial town ? Peace—with whom ? With that
Friend of Peace, with him who had fettered the
commercial intercourse of mankind—and with
him who had told them publicly that it is his ob-
ject to destroy that which Was'the foundation of
their greatnes—that which is the glory of their
State. They were not content with this absur-
dity ; they describe, in glowing colours, what are
the sufferings of war ; and they f sin would per-
:suade us that those who, in spite of our suffer-
ings, would exhort us to persevere, are insen-
sible to the miseries of our fellow creatures. War
had its miseries in the stagnation of commerce,
and in the privation of many domestic Comforts ;
who was the man that had a heart to look at them
without being affected ? Ent he wished his adver-
saries would deal fairly. .War, he observed, was
full of difficulty and danger ; yet it had its conso-
lations too. • But how happens it that those Gen-
tlemen invert the glass, when they, look at the
victories of our enemies ? As they are presented
to our view, we hoar no particulars of the
miseries and privations .to which they sub-
ject the inhabitants of France ; but, on
the other band, when they lOoked at our
exploits, they turned the diminishing side
of the glass, and presented us with a magnified
view.of our miseries. But I would ask them,
Whether the mother, in France, when delivered
ofa male child, did not look forward to the 19th
yeAr, when he was to be torn to
,pitiless destruc-
tion ? He would ask them whether agriculture
was not languishing for want of male pOpulation ?
The subjects of the conqueror are eon-Soled by
glory ; but let us be mindful of their unhappiness;
and in a war from which we cannot extricate our-
selves, let the perseverance which England has
already so successfully exerted, be continued ;
in a- war which had realized such victories as
our past history might warrant us in expect-
; but such as the boldest imagination durst
not have conceived, and such as would be trans-
mitted by the, pen of the historian to the admira-
tion of posterity. ,If- peace could be obtained,
God forbid that it should not be so ! but is peace
to be enjoyed with the security of ileace ? It
must be so enjoyed, or it would only substitute a
temporaryrepose, to be followed by a more dread-
ful and destructive war.--It had been said, and
said wisely too, that character had its inconvcr
niences, that a man of reputation dared not do a
base action, though it might be advantageous ; and
.to extend that remark from individuals to national,
character, it might be safely asserted, that, when
a nation forfeited its honour, it 'had forfeit-
ed its existence. Not such the opnions of our
adversaries, who think that peace purchased at- any
price is - preferable to war carried on with such
sacrifices as we are making. if he thought the
continuance of the present war adverse to com-
merce, he could not present himself with confi-
dence to a great commercial community, and he
well knew that its interests were inseparable
with the general interests of the Empire. He.
said, they had been told that if they would vote
for those Gentlemen, the streets of Liver Fool
-would be full of the bum of industry, and
that: all would be happy; peaceful, and tran-
quil. He .asked but one question in an-
•swer to that, which 'was, if England sunk, bow
was Liverpool to survive ?—They had been told,
and that very lately too, and. he (Mr. C.). had seen
it echoed in publications which were understood
to supptqt the opponents of their adversaries—
that, if there was nothing in the wickedness of
war, there was something in the hopelesSness of
our case, that ought to induce as -to listen to
terms of conciliation. They bad been told also,

thatall the allies of Great tritain were-unfortu-
nate, but he should rather say that the converse
of the proposition is true; that the unfortunate are,
our Allies, that we had stepped forward in de-
fence of struggling liberty—to raise the fallen---4o
protect the weak—and to uphold those who re-
lied wholly on our assistance to save them from
the sword of the conqueror; but' in fact he (Mr.
C.) saw nothing that impoVerislied or impaired
the national hope—he believed that we still might
have greater privations to endure,i)ut of this he

was confident, that we could not be saved alone.
It was our lot, that as the safety of the great corn-

munity was interwoven with that of the ,country,
so was that of England interwoven with the
general safety of Europe and the civilized
world. It had 'been imputed to those with
whom he had acted, that though the evils of

war had afflicted commerce, that—something was
yet left by the enemy which might possibly he en-
joyed. The policy of. those Gentlemen had offer-

ed him a solution to that question ; we were told
that by surrendering those measures by which it

was attempted to retaliate upon the enemy, we

should conciliate America.

The surrender had

been made. whether improvidently or not it was
not then necessary to argue ; that was matter of
controversy ; that it was made fruitlessly, was
matter of fact. He would not have it thought
that he was of opinion that no amelioration could

be possibly made in the internal state of this coun-
try, nor relief ahorded to the commercial interests.
One advantage, be said, arising from the insulat-
ed state in which We had been placed by the

success of the Decrees of the encitiy, was; that

we had learned the more to look to our resources,

and he trusted that there might yet be many bless-
ings in store for us. This led him to consider a

question which bed been more fully commented
upon by his friend, Mr. Gladstone—they might

naturally suppose he meant the trade to
And long before be had the slightest hope of pre-
senting himself to this town,the worthy Chairman

knew that he entertained an opinion, that commer-
cial relief was to be derived to the general commerce
of this country from the extznision of that trade.

.
rrf stated, that be OUght to gnard this aPiniiiii
with two qualifications; the first, that great .as
he thought that relief g(would eventtially be, he
did not think it would be so 'extensive or so sud-
den as would be expected, and the.first thing 'to
be guarded against with all those who engaged. in
it, was—a too precipitate reliance 'on. the enjoy:
ments of the good that might. he offered ; and,
secondly, a, too great despondency if those first
hopes should not be realized. He was afraid that
the first adventurers would hope too much, but
he trusted they would not despair too soon. He
believed it was in the general nature'of commerce
to find its own level, and much must be left to in,
dividnal ' enterprize and industry : but he trusted.
that the result would be, upon the whole, bene-
ficial. The Second qualification was, that we are
not to 'consider, the question of the India trade as
between the Company and the Country, and if we
entered into the discussion with that Spirit, it would
do injury to both ; but we were to consider our em;-
pire in-India anomalous in the history of the world,
not to be judged by general rules, .and not to be
brought into the scope of general reasoning and
judgment-'--an empire depending upon opinion.
gentlemen of their commercial iinowledge, on such
a subject as that, would-not expect much reasoning
from him ; but he thought it desirable to express
these heads of opinions under which that great
and complicated question most be considered. He
freely .owned that much remained for him to
learn, and that he not only should thankfully re-
ceive,
,
but earnestly court the communications and
advice.-of every individual amongst them. The
queStiOns of war and peace, and the question of
commerce, he obSered, necessarily lead 'hini to
the mere particular consideration of that connexion
which he had so auspiciously formed with this great
commercial town. To have been called to such are - .
presentation in such a Manner, would be; if his poli-
tical life' should terminate to-morrow, One athe
most glorious ends that he could . have desired;
but when the commencement of their connexion
was accompanied with a wish that it might be
perpetuated; lie wanted the courage to re-echo
that wish, hut he ought to re-echo it with some.; '
thing like consciousness of his own %volt of personal
claims'.. He said that they had been told; that
during the contest, all the exertions, and all the

free, the liberal spirit of the contest had been on
the side of their antagonists, and that none had
voted for him but poor creatures under venal in-
fluence or tyrannical compulsion ! When he
looked down the tables before him—when he view-
ed- the countenances of the youths of Liverpool,
who had been militant in his cause—in their own
cause, beaming with ingenuOuiness, spirit, 'and
truth, be was furnished with a triumphant refuta-
tion to that assertion ; and that led him to suspect
that. it was true on the one side and not on the
other, and that the imputed ought rather to
have been' the imputers. He. stated further,
that there was a singular coincidence between in-
ternal and external subjects. God forbid that he"
should impute to any Englishman that he was a
friend to the enemies of his country.; it could not
be. But unconsciuSly to themselves some simi-
larity of sentimmt will pervade their views : it is
thus we have heard that Lords of the soil bare
alone an interest in the Constitution of England—
but all have alike an interest. Not the soi! only,
not the 'hereditary possessors of acres only, but
those also who by their honest industry and com-
mercial enterprize, raise those acres an hundred-
fold above their value. He really believed—be
was- willing and anxious to believe, that those who
used these arguments did not know how' exactly
they corresponded with the doctrine of the ene=
mies of their country, who told them that soil and
territory- are the only just titles to the Empire of
.the laud and of the sea. To this haughty opinion
Great Britain had always answered, that though
small, rocky, and comparatively barren', yet as
she is mighty in herself, and powerful by the
efficacious means which her commence affords,:
she has a right to the trident of the ocean, the
sceptre of the world. To both those arguments
he returned the same answer—the right is in
England to give, and commerce to share, the do-
mination of the soil: The arguments against fic-
titious greatness; and in- favour of natural right,
are. in hoth instances the same, and he had no
doubt of the coincidence being accidental, but it
was singular and striking. He would not tres-
pass upon their time any-longer; and thanked -
them for the honour done to him ; and when, in
looking back, he could find little to' deserve it,
and he could only look forward with hope that he
might not• disgrace it.

Police Regulations =ln consequence of the num-
ber of daring street robberies which have of late
been committed, some of which have taken place
in the early part. of the evening, by gangs who
knock down the unwary for plunder, the Magis-
trates of the elifferent PoliCe Offices • have issued-
orders that .the Officers parade the streets until a
given houi at night to watch and secure. offenders.
In addition to this order, extra constables have
been appointed for temporary services of this de-
scription, which, it is hoped,' wilt prevent these
depredations in'future, and prove a check upon
house-breaking, which has commenced with great
activity.
