THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1810.

There is every reason to expeit that we shall
ehrrrtly hea'r satisfactory intellikencd from. Ame-
rica. The :letters of the 30th of March state,
that Mr. I‘.lAcc6r's Bill had 'been thrown orit of the
Senate by a majority, of two, and that a Bill had been
brotikht in for the repeal of the Non-Intercourse MI.
This account is confirmed by the intelliigence're;
ceiived yesterday by.the Manchester packet, which, on
her passage, fell in with 'the William. Tell, from.
Norfolk, Virginia-,on the .9th inst. The passengerrion
board of which stated, that the Noti-Intercourse
Act was to cease on the Monday after the. If illiam
Tell-sailedt which was on the Bth ult. Of-course
we cannot pledge ourselves fora the triult of iutelli

nonce so received.
-
The Anieii-can Governmt.:ut has borneo much'
from France, that it is. rather hazdrdo4 to speculate
upon its future resistance ; but surely when the
last outrages of BVONAPAtiTE are known in America,
they must rouse the resentment even of those who
have hitherto been most partial to k'ra,nce.

In addition to the 'other, insults which IIooNA-
PARTE has heaped upon the -Americans, it is' re-
ported by the persons who arrived in a cartel on
Monday last, that he leas ordered all Americans to
quit Rance without delay, under pain of -imprison-
ment and confiscation orpfoperty.

... It is with sentiments of the strongest satisfaaion
that -.ue Call ih: wtentiotrof our Readers to the de-
tail gi, en yesterday by the CHANCELLOR of the
EXC:IEQUER f the state of the Finatues of the
Country, Notwithstanding all the confident, asser-
tions of our foreign Enemy, and all the gloomy pre-
diaions of our domestic Patriots, the 'Trade of this
E:npire, instead of decaying', is in a more flourish-
ing condition than it, ever was, even -in the most .
prosperous years of peace; and such is the state of
our Finances, that* the Interest of the Loan, the
One per C, nt. for the Sinking Fund, and the Ex-
polo s of the Management, have all been provided
for without the impoiit ton of a single new Tax, or
the augmentation of any old one. The Loan has
bey n obtained cpon 'terms m6rp favourable to the
Public than, -any Loan that ever -w-is coutratied in
this Country. Notwithstanding the,immense amount
of the. National Debt, the Public have'obtained a
Loan of Twelve Millions of Money cheaper, consi-
derably cheaper, than any individual in the Country
could obtain one, even upon the best and most un-
doubted security. The Interest to be paid for this
Loan amounts only to 41. 4s, 70. per cent. which is
more than 1.55. less than the legal interest. But while
we rejoice in this indisputable proof of our prospe-
rity, and of the-prind state of our Finances; let us
not forget how much we owe to Mr. PITT, who,
by his wisdom in planning, and his firmness in pre-
serving the Sinking Fund, certainly laid the founda-
tion of that solid system of Finance, which has
enabled us to meet the unexampled burthens of the
extraordinary times in which we live. This flou-
rishing state of our Track and of our Commerce will
appear in a still more conspicuous point of view, if
pu, in competition, with that of France. BuoNA-
VOITE, in the hopes..of destroying the Trade of this
country, sacrifieed without remorse the little- re-
mains of trade which-France possessed, The Cus-
toms of France last year, according to the statement
Of the French Minister, did not produce 500,00o1:
which is not more, than one-fifth of what they pro-
clncal three years ago ; and during that very period
wliert BuLtat,PAiere's Decrees and our Orders in.'

Council 'deprived France of tour-fifths of her trade,

that 'of Great Britain his g(ii.e on progressively in-
creasing. The Trade of France was, as we have
already stated, worse last year than it ever wis be-
fore, while: that of Great Britain was greater last
year than' it ever was, before, even in the most pros-
perous year of peace. In. 1805, when BUONAPART4
was at Ulm, he made use of the memorable expres-
sion, t6at.be wanted ships, colonies, and commerce.
Since that period he has lost near forty sail of French
line-of -bat tle-ships.--he has lost the Spanish Navy;
he has lost the banish Navy, which undoubtedly
would have been as much at his disposal as the
Fleet of Holland; he has lost Martinique, Guada-
loupe ; in short,le has lost every Colony possessed
by France or her allies, except the Mauritius ; and
to, complete the whole, he has nearly annihilated
the commerce of France and her unfort-unate al-
lies. Such has -been the result of BUONAPARTE'S
efforts to obtain Ships, Colonies; and Com-
merce, and yet we are told by his admirers in this
Country, that his plans are all formed with-wisdom,
executed with vigour, and crowned with success.---..
We once more Congratulate' the Country upon the
statement made last night by the. CHANCELLOR of
the EXCHEQUER, because it affords an additional
prof that if this Country be but true to itself, if it
be not weakened by intestine divisions, it may bid
defiance to an hostile world.

LITEIIARY FGND.--Yesterday the AnniverSary
Meeting of this excellent. Institution took place at
Freemasons'-hall. The Duke of SONIERiET tdok
the- Chair; and was 'supported - by. Lord
.CHESTER and Lord MotaA. L9lll POMFRET, Lord
VALENTIA, and several other Noblemen and Gen-
tlemen were present. The usual loyal toasts were
given, and received with the warmest approbation.
" The Literary Fund," of course, was one of the
most popular toasts.. After Lord MotaA's health •
had been drank, that Nobleman arose and delivered
a very animated speech in praie of Literature,
and its influence in imf)roving the knowledge and
happiness of mankind. His Lordship thin spoke
with zeal in fovour of the Institution and its
supporters. He paid smite very handsome com-
pliments to Mr. FITZGERALD, for his persever-
ing attachment to the Institution, and the poetical
abilities which he had so often displayed, particu-
larly on the present occasion.
Mr. 'FITZGERALD delivered some animated lines
in support of the cause, with powerful effect ; and
Mr. BitowNs also very, ably recited a composi-
tion of great merit, on the same subjea, written by
the.Rev..Dr. Simmoics, a gentleman of well-known
learning and talents.

The:day .was enlivened by glees and songs by
Meisrs. SHIELD, INCLEDON, TAYLOR, T. DIBDIN,,
&c. &c. and the whole was the triumph of good
humour, animated by benevol,nce, and every teeL
ing can do honour to human nature.

Though ►;o colle6tiorp was annonnced, yet the li-
beral zeal of many persons present induced ',hem to
come forward, and some handsome donations were
made on the spot.

It was a subject of general report that Mr. DAVID
WILLIAMS, the benevolent fouticlet of this admir-
able Institution, was prevented 'hum attending by
severe indiquasition.

This morning, about half-past eleven o'clock, an
alarming tire broke out. at Mr. Topus's, upholsterer
and cabinet-maker& in St. Paul's Churchyard, which
raged with such fury that it threatened destrucion
to the whole neighbourhood, but fortunately, by
the timely arrival. of Several, eng'nes, and a copious
supply of water, its ravages were prevented from
doing any other damage trial-) totally destroying the
the whole of the premises where it first b;.pn,
