PARIS, -Nil' 13.. s

Those Citizens who.are constantly.solicitous for
the welfare of their Country', have nor seen with
indifference the resolution which the Government
lave come to, to cptn a Canal between Brussels
and Charleroi. This ,Canal, by giving great aai.
vity to the working of the Coal Mines of Charleroi;
Will considerably reduce the price of their tirodnas,
as well as of the White Stone, the Iron Faetorics,
and.othier Materials which abound there.

The Canal of Charleroi, will also convey the 'lir°.
duce ot the soil . and industry of the Departments,
Which are watered by the Meuse ; the Wines of
Chanipaine, whose carriage by land is very expen.
Sive, will arrive in Belgium at a moderate price, by
means of this Navigation. The Burgundy Wine
will be transported with the same ease and economy,
if a communication of the same kind were establish-
ed between the Meuse and the Saone.

The Commercial Treaty, which is negotiating,
as we are informed,• with England, will doubtless
introduce'some modifications of, the prohibitory sys-
tem which now prevails. Experience has sufficiently
thewn that prohibitions do not prevent the introduc.
tion'of Foreign Articles of Manufaaure. If these
modifications of the system of Prohibition, which
211 Well-informed Merchants desire, be adopted, they
will give a great& extension to Canal Navigation.
It is to be hoped these observations will not escape
the vigilant eye of Government.
The Minister of diarine thus closes his Letter to
the Maritime Peeled of Brett:

441 am fully convinced of this principle, that the Colo-
ties should exist only for the beneht of the Nlother Country,
rand particularly for its Commerce, hence the report I made
'to the Firit consul on the propriety of reviving the regula.
Lions of the Decree of the month of ,kugust, *74 But that
these regulations should be followed, it is indispensible that
the French Commerce should be exerted in supplying our
Colonies, in order that stone of them may be lett destitute;
for it would be the height of injustice to reserve their Corn!

abandoned and regularly exchaitgal against articlei of French
industry. The Commerce of 'France is very naturally about

order must not be neglected, 1 fix its attention in a peculiar
ilLinner on Tob4o and C4enne, the former of which yields
about Asoe,ozo of byres produce, and Cayenne only re-
