AND AUTIiEr4TIC CORRESPONDEN(;

The Paris Papers of Tuesday last, which were
due this morning, have not come to hand.

We have several times had occasion to express,
our regret that such a man as BLACAS should ever
have had any influence upon the French Govt.' a-
ment, as there is nothing In him in point of
talents, knowledge, or principles, tha(intitles his
opinion to respect. His folly, or something worse,
and the ronfldeuce which was unfortunately placed
in hint by the French Monarch, who judged of
others by his own amiable feelings and honotfr-
able views, led to the return of the tliurper on
the 20th of March 1815, and to all the confusion
and consternation which ensued. The result,
however, in time immortal battle of Waterloo, re-
stored the rightful Monarch to his throne, and
established the peace of Europe. But BLACAS
deserves no honour for this glorious result, and it
it bad not occurred, for the happiness of Europe,
he would probably have been an obsequious vas-
sal
to the Usurper.. We should think that such
conduct on the part of BLACAS must have opened

Are 'eyes 'of the French Government, yet' as we
-understand that he is yet on_ a mission at

the Ministers have not power enough to re-
cal him., Lie certainly• does. no credit to the
Court which sent 1 m, and it. 'is very probable
that he will. commit Some blunder at Rome, if
suffered to remain, as be is no match for Popish
.artifice. it is said that

branches of the Royal Family, at head of, what
are called the Ultras, most of whom arc, perhaps,
well-intentioned, but who do not appear to have
marched with the. times, and .--who seem to expect
improbable, or rather ltoposOrle events, which
all. attempts• to accomplish would only tend-.
to produce new disturbances that Might shake

all legitiMate Government iu .Avire... „We

As. die affairs of France,-and-gte;tmit'etnents
of its Government, nmst. be interesting to. all
other States, we refer ettr Itea,ders to the Letter
from our CorrespondenA Paris, received- this
day. We perceive diorite seems,to trtertain"fhe

same opinion of M. 13LACAS as ire f have ex-
pressed in the preceding article, and heYnee we hope
to bear 'of his return front Rome, and of the end
of his political influence in France.

ed letters of recall. The nominations which the
various circumstances will require, •are subjects
fol. various conjecture ; and one or more of your
Northern Gentlemen are already spolsen of as on

We beg leave most earhestlyto direct the Eaten-

lion of the Public to the Official 'Report of a
Committee of the House of Representatives of the
United States of America (see o'ur,lost page), as
a further proof of the hostile feeling of the Ame-
rican Legislature towards Great Britain. It can-
not fail to impress on their minds the correctness
of the view which we took of the tendency of the
measures of the Government of that country, and
of the principles advocated by the President in his
Speech at the opening of the present Session of
Congress. It is now evidesst that the Aniericans
will not be satisfied to remain on amicable terms
with this Country, unless His Majesty's Govern-
ment are prepared to abandon the 'Colonial Sys-
tem, and to allow a free intercourse,: in: American
Vessels, with His Majesty's Colonies. It unfortn-
nately this point is accefiedf6 by the
King's Minis-
ers, it will prove ruinous to the British Ship-O'wn-
ters, and.render-the West India Islands:entirely de-
pendent on the United States. We ale therefore
induced to refer our Readers to The luminous Re-
port of the Privy Council. of the -31st of. May,
178,4, on the attempt then made tO'obtain a free
intercoarse between the Sugar Colonies. and the
United States in American bottoms. The rule of
conduct prescribed by this Report has been adhered
to by Great Britain, except in cases of necessity.
The rule was, that this country should strictly
adhere to the Colonial System, and " should ne-
" Ver submit EVEN TO TREAT on the favourite ob- ,
"ject of the United States, namely, the admiS-
" Sion of their ships into the trade of the British
" Colonies ; and' rathef than submit to it, pOints
" out a mode of effective and DI6NIPIED RETA 7
LIATION!"--If such was the cotsdnct of Great

Britain at the period. alluded to; ought It not to
be the same flow ?-The tbreat ciintained in this
Report of the ilottsie Representatives of the.
strength of the American Navy,-3erill- without doubt
raise the feelings of the people of this country,

and lead them to requite some satisfactory expla-
'nation from Government of their intentions on
'Oils :subject. We are afraid., from Vations
stance's, that these is too strong a disposition in a
certain quarter to conciliate the United States), and
that the American Trade Bill now before Parlia-
ment is the beginning of a change in our Colonial
System, which cannot fail to be productive of the
worst consequences, and to depress and ultimate-
ly to destroy-the Naval Power of the Country. We
are sorry that we cannot compliMent the Secretary
of State' for Foreign Affairs on the commercial
arrangements he made on the Continent; but we
hope that, before .any farther concessions are
made .to America, his Majesty's Ministers will
recollect the conduct they pursued in 1806,
on the TifENT American' Intercourse Bill, and the
opposition they successfully made to that
impoli-
tic measure. For the present, we shall content
ourselves, by referring to- the inimitable and nn-
answerable Speech of the late Master of the Rolls
on that memorable occasion ; and shall conclude
these remarks with an extract from a letter writ-
-ten by that distinetished-anil enlightened States-
man the late Earl of LIVERPOOL, and to express our
regret, that all his Lordship'S writings on this and
other important subjects, have not been publish-
ed. In reference to the inroads which were at-
tempted to be made in 1806-7 on the Navigation
and Colonial System, his-Lordship in this Letter
says, " By the measures which have been and
" are now taking, it is evident that there are
" persons, who not daring to attack the Laws of
" Navigation, and the Maritime Rights of this
" country directly and openly, are entleavocring
" to sap and undermine them, deceiving the igno-
" rant under various pretences. I wish that my
-" infirmities did.not prevent me from affording
the little assistance' my talents might enable me
to give : but my Principles are Manifest in what
" has already been published, and in the protests ,
" which
,have entered against, many attempts of
ct. this nature, which one time or another will also
"be seen-by the public."
