trade, to reduce the Three-and-a-Halfper Cents.,
and take something more from the stockholders.
His Income-tax, therefore, is creating general
discontent, and this ruler of the nation must,
we believe, submit to be ruled also in this
poiht, and abandon sooner than he wishes his be-
loved Income-tax. PEEL will henceforward be
known as Income-tax PEEL, but he seems more
likely to:get the name, than receive the produce
of the tax. He who directs its course is the
ruler of society, not the man who receives a large
salary, 'and has the disposal of much patronage,
to propose measures that cannot be executed, and
who is glad to take laws from the wiser multitude,
whom he pretends to govern. Whoever may be
the ruler of this mighty nation, it is perfectly
clear that Sir ROBERT PEEL is not. He only
possesses the Treasury for the interest of a party.

Hindostan under our command, and open to our
trade, yet that trade is not of as much value as

[e trade with the United States.

Probably the statesman that planned these
expeditions, was smitten with the gigantic
amount of wealth obtained from Asia at former
periods ; but he should have remembered that
the plunder of a treasury, by which an adven-
turer is enriched, is very different from the re-
ciprocities of trade, by which small gains are
made on both sides, and millions are benefited.
He *might have known, too, that where a
few Princes are very rich the bulk of the
people are very poor, and that in such coun-

tries fortunes are rather made by laying the
Prince under contribution, than by exchang-
ing any commodities with his subjects.
Opulent people, though Republicans, are better
customers for a trading nation than the impo-
verished slaves, however numerous, ofany despot.
The idea of extending our trade amongst the
Asiatics by military expeditions seems to us
one of the wildest that ever entered the
head of a statesman. Commerce opened the way
to India, and commerce established our dominion

there. We doubt whether arms ever repayed
commerce the obligation, and extended our trade
in the same proportion as trade gained for us au
empire.

Having seen the absurd idea we have adverted
to boasted of by a Contemporary, we must, on
behalf of the free-trade party, say they want no
such auxiliary as war. They repudiate a trade
which is commenced in slaughter. The freedom
they ask for themselves, is freedom fin• all other
men. They know that trade, to be lasting,
must be mutually advantageous. Its bargains
must not be made under the cannon's mouth.
They prize trade too highly not to shrink back
with horror from staining it with carnage. They
know that if they rely on war to promote trade,
they must tolerate war in extinguishing it. They

snow if they seek favour fbr it from Princes, the
atter vil I make it their slave. They know that
f they call on Governments to promote it, they

place its fate in the hands of politi-
cians, and make this great means of civil-
izing mankind, and connecting them all in
one common brotherhood, subvervicnt to these
petty interests and passions of statesmen. Know-
ing these things free traders will shake off with
disgust and horror all alliance with those who
profess the principle of promoting trade by mak-

G. war.

Accounts have been received from Madrid of

e :22d instant, and from Barcelona to the 23th.

The bombardment, which was to commence on
the 94th, had been suspended, and negotiations
had commenced between General VAN HALEN
and the •Junta. Foreigners generally had gone
on board the vessels in the harbour, but the
English and French Consuls still remained in the
city. CAMPREDON had recognised the Junta.
The REGENT, before leaving Madrid, reviewed
the National Guards, and was received both by
them and the citizens generally with great en-
thusiasm. The Cortes had been prorogued till
his return, in order, no doubt, to prevent seditious

harangues respecting the insurrection at Bar-
celona. Previous to the prorogation, CALA TRAVA
laid before the Chambers, by order of the RE-
GENT, a .succinct account of the national debt,
with the proposed means for meeting the defi-
ciences of the revenue. It would be difficult,
however, to give a satisfactory outline of his
speech, and we shall, therefore, give it entire on

the first opportunity, merely stating, that if the
proposed plans were carried into effect there
would remain a deficit of only 42,000,000 reals.
The Three per Cents. were done at 21,1 for cash,
and 22 at GO days, with 4 premium, for 2,200,000
reals; and the Five per Cents. at 254 for cash, and
26! ii 3 3-16 jat 60 days, for 36,200,000 reals.

The articles in the Paris papers relate almost
entirely to the election of a Deputy for the first
arrondissetnent, and the affairs of Barcelona. The
election was to commence yesterday, and close

this day. The contest was between General
JACQUEMINOT and M. PORTALIS, all the other
candidates having retired. It was generally be-
lieved that the former would be elected. In al-
luding to the insurrection at Barcelona, the Na-
tional says, that, whatever may be the origin of
the outbreak, the Christinos arc trying to turn it
to their own profit. They predominate in the
Junta, as three-fourths of the men on the list
are known to belong to the moderate party, and
these are openly devoted to MARIA CHRISTINA.
