proceed to its destination, engaged a pilot and
six English sailors, who had deserted from
Admiral Duckworth's fleet, when that Admi-

these deserters tint only pardon, but a consider-
able reward to induce them to go on board the
infected ship. It is this crew which has navi-

EXTRACT Or A LETTER FROM OUR CORRESPOSDENT

AT LIVEDPOOL, DATED AUG. 21.

COTTON TRADE.—Every branch of the national
manufactures have recsived an impetus, to which
they have long been strangers, with respect to
this important mart of the Cotton Trade. The
symptoms have lately been of the most exhilerating
description. -At our two last principal market
days, 'goods have been amazingly in request, par-
ticularly on Tuesday last, when they bore a lively
advance, obviously the -effect of an eager demand.

MANCHESTER.—TO the above stZlement we may
add, that the demand for Cotton in our market
has been very brisk during the last fortnight, the
sales in that pc, iod amounting to not less than
26,000 bags. The demand fur Colonial Produce
has also considerably increased, at an improvement
in price of all articles of that descriptirn.

The most favourable accounts were this day
received of he State of the Harvest on the Con-
tinent, which is the most abundant that has been
experienced for many years.

The Morning Chronicle tries hard to persuade
its readers that Spain harbours an inveterate de-
gree of enmity against this country, and states, as
a proof, the non-existence of a Commercial Treaty,
although the bases were laid down in the Treaty of
Peace in 1814. It would have been but fair, how-
ever, to have added, that the provisional Articles of
a.Treaty, establishing bases for any future contin-
gencies, have never been cOnsidered as binding
upon the parties. It world have been tvell also,
instead of roundly asserting that the efforts of
Our Ambassador had been rendered abortive. by
the opposition of the Court of Madrid to the inea-
sure,, to ascertain whether anyitegociation for a
Commercial Treaty with Spain was ever on the
tapis at all. We have consulted on this point
some intelligent mercantile men, who are con-
cerned in the Spanish Trade, and they unani-
mously declare their ignorance of any such mea-
sure having been in agitation on either side of.
the water. The error may possibly have origi-
naledin• the demand submitted to the British Go-
vernment; of a loan to complete the 'armaments
then preparing in Spain for the. Colonies, which
business fell to the ground in consequence the
refusal of tile Court of Spain to allow, as a corn-

ptlisation ttii• die atiVatiet., d'ither a tee tia...lc,
a certain IHUtSecl eiteuti with the Spanish Col,-
bfr the introchiction of cotton goods into
Spain during the war. Now, if in qatition be-
tween the thanufactnring interest of the ProVim6
of Catalonia,' and the teinporary distresi of the
King's Treasury, his Majesty Ferdinand VII..
thought tile latter the lesser evil of the two, could
no other motive be found for the act than the
ungenerous one of ingratitude to an ally, tai
which. it has, with so little kesitation, beers as-;.
cribed by the opposition writers
Will any one dispute that it is the bounden
duty of every Government to protect native
in-
dustry ? The bilks of Spain have been deemed bet-
ter and cheaper than ours, yet the introduction of
them is prohibited, because it is the interest of
our Spitalfields weavers that they should be
so. What would the Morning Chronicle say, if
Spain were to complain of this prohibition as ant
act of hostility ? One of the accusations of -the
• Morning - Chronicle against Spain is, that tie
French are more favourably treated than we are.
This, we are.assured, is..a charge without founda-
tion. Both nations are put upon the same foot-
ing, in regard to the dutlea levied noon the same
description of goods, and to the total prohibi-
tion of certain articles. If the French enjoy any
preference at all in Spain, it is tl:at preference
which arise' from fashion, and not under the coo-.
troul of Government. Whilst we see our, oWtt
females so anxious to deck themselves out .ii,
French trappings, we need feel no surprise at a.
similar partiality in the Spaniards of loath'seaes.
We would not ad: ise any set of French raiWilers
and mantua-makers, and cooks, and hair-dro-
sers, so far to presume on the partiality of the in'
habitants of Spain, as to go to that country in
shoals as they come here, lest they should awaken
and feel the effects of the deadly hatred svi:b
which their conduct in Spain, during the usurpa
tion- of Jcsarn ParoNaPartTr., inspired all true
Spaniards against that volatile people.
Those u ho throw so much blame on the Spanish
Government, for the prohibition of British cotton
goods, should be told that it is no new measare
dictated, as so many iunigine, by an hostile spirit;
against. the British irade,—but the renewal of ot,
law of snore than fifty years standing, enactel tor
the protection of the eotoo-mattatactoties of the
industrious Province of Catalonia. 511 long ~st
the French remained in possession of that Pro.
Vince, the suspension of tke art against the in-
troduction of foreign cottons became a measure
of necessity but on the return of peace awl r s an...
qu Ility, the Suffering; teavhich this prothirc hart
been exposed during the' war, and the suagnati.
mous efforts of its inhabitants in favour of tine
cause of Oleir country, rendercd 'ii not nuly asa
act of policy, but of justice, to rant tip it reti-
(ion lot the restoration of their pri.itqa's.
If by any sudden unforeseen politiealeounno-
don, which Heaven avert, we were to be sepa-
rated fur a while from the Sister-kingdom, and
obliged to have recourse to Holland' and (.4er-
many for a supply of linens and erovisions----it
:viii hardly be pretended that in revising our vas-
tons with her after the reunion, although we
should be indebted for it to the aid of 044 Allies
the Dutch and Germans, we should commit rut
act of base ingratitude. The cases are similar,
and every one may make the applicaticm.

It is idle to suppose, that because the susperi-
-sion of the privilege took place under the GO,
YellinMilt of the JUNTA CENTRAL, and was con.

'StVEDEN. If he ever obtains it, it would he one
of the most fantastic sports of Fortune, particu-
larly at a period when Legitimacy prevails, and
the people of most countries return with delight
to their lawful Rulers, and view with horror all
Rerstutionary -elevations.

gotiator to him on the occasion, when Mr. HUNT

LOVE AND REAtioN.

BY CAPTAIN SELLECK

A's I left fair PRU ()EWA one ry sting quite late',
From Love what a feetnre I stet •
" That icicle still do you woo fora mete?
. " Alas! w I p;t!vyour lot I •
" She's fair yiat say--i•granfed; and 'prudent—agreed
" She's b,•th, in extreme, I nrnst own;
'' But heartless, inanimate, frigid—indeed, .
I'd a steno enort a statoe of stone !"
•Convine'd—to AitoeNTta f offered my suit;
And then Reason took me to task—
" That girl may mfore you, bryund all dispute,
But is love all you Seek, rosy
" If that eye beams affection 6is.:ouilly you say),
" It also can kindle with rage !
" And that head, which a sculptor night. wond'ring surrey)
" Is by no NICa /IS the head of a sage !"
" My forward advisers," said I, in a pet,
" You're mighty fastidious, forsooth
" Pray each of you spew me what game I shall set,
" And faith I'll make love to them both !
" Here Love, take this pencil, and itiark for my flame
" Some one in your circle of beauty ;
" And Reason, write elsewhere your favourite name,
" And then I'll endeavour to suit ye.
" What's this !—Sure the world is approaching its end,
" For Reason and Love bath agree!
" The fair M EDIANA they both recommend, -
" As a treasure allotted to me!"
This said—to the fair one I made my best bows,
I found her both Prudent and Kind ;
With dignified grace site accepted my vows,
The grace of the heart and the mind-
Affection threw over each feature a charm,
IVitilc Intellect brightened the whole;
Her voice the most-stoical bosom might warm,
For it hreath'd all the music of S titl !
What lastin,‘', enjoyment can woman bestow.
Where Reflection and Judgment approve !
Oh ! blest be the moment. that brought me to know,
The union of Reason and Love.
