EXTRACT FROM A MERCANTILE LETTER, DATED

YAMS, 6TH INSTANT :-

" You reason justly respecting the political
affairs of England, and the influence these must
have on the trade of your country, which I am
convinced can never rise again to that transcen-
dent height on which it once st 0011, long as the
National Debt is so enormous', or so much is wr one
from the manutactutiitn and commercial classes to
pay its support. it is difficult to enter into com-
petition with othkr commies which send their
goods into the market not so much burdened with
expellees. Ibis England could do as long as the
continental war lasted, and she was alone on the
'sea;. There is, besides, a want of corresponding
energy and exertion in your Goveinment, or at
least, so tie view things at x distance from the
vortex of par y factions, which does not corre-
Ap,,ild to existing einer.:encie.. It will he seen
hire with astonishment, if your Government al-
lows the Awe' leans to take possession of and keep
the Florida., as snail an act would be consnleted
as the strongest possible proof of its Own tmliar-
' rassments, anal as such, no doubt, it will be inter-
preted by rite cunning people of the United States,
who have been the only- gainers by the late dis-
asters of Europe, and who will 'use sight of no
ad-Vantages which may aria out of the weak-
ness of tiny part. Widi regard to ourselves,
notwitlistHndin.- the ilivision that exists in the
public mind, and the certainty that a very bois-
terfws discussion will take place on the project
of the Minis'ers, in proposing violations of the
charter, added to the probable risk that public
exaspeo i.ot may give rise to results arid el-
Irv's of a set toils nature, the reifies have risen.
This is attriboted to the stagnation, or rather ces-
sation, of commercial busiorto, which has placed
the capitals of many in a state of inactivity.—There
now are in the cellars of the Bank, 200.000.000
francs (eight millions ster;ine) in money onem-
ployed ; and besides, from England large remit-
tances come over to be invested in our Funds
These causes may be tree, hut, for my own put,
I think there is something factitious in the rise of
the rentes. aura that it is in ot great measure owing
to one of those systematic plans of speculation so
often practised in London with success, but which
will, ere long, bring a large portion of our Go-
vernment paper again into the mat ket. At [He-
lmut, however, no embarrassments are remarked
in the commercial houses here."
