LONDON,
MONDAY, AUGUST 19, 1816.

So much of our space is to.day occupied with
the Trial of Lord COCHRANE:, that we are com-
pelled to abridge and postpone the rest of our news,
His Lordship was found guilty, and will be brought
'up for Judgment to the Bar of the King's Benda
in the next Term.

The .French'Papers to the 16th supply a few
extracts. They speculate upon the question,
whether the Algerines Nv ill defend their sea coast,
or retreat towards the interior. There is a third
view of the case which they do, not scent inclined
to look at, but which we consider to be inure
'probably the true one than any other.

The following are the chief articles worthy of
votice in a Flanders Mail just arrived! _
Guingt, AUG. 14,—The English Jrnirnal
'called the Time), complains of the hostilities
which are committed in this city against the Eng-
lish commerce ; and it alleges, in proof of its
.charge, the little scene of burning some handker-
chiefs, and our article upon the shoes made by a'
wachine, which are sold at Antwerp for 18 sons
This hostility, says the Journal, resew-
tAiles the mad system of Bnonspafte.

Let us be allowed to answer a few words:—
" The English boast of having alone dared to
kesist when the power of Napoleon seemed not to
be shaken. Their motives greatly diminish the
merit of their resistance : more interest and less
flanges.. Mare interest than any other people to de-
stroy the preponderance; because the ques-
tion ors reduced nearly to this, which of the two
Powers, Prance or England, should rule in Europe ;
less danger; becanse its position seeured•it from' it.
We do not ocean to contest tome the claims which
the English have to the gratitude of the world,
but to hinder people from going in their favour
beyond the, truth, and attributing to their zeal for
• the good of all, what is merely the result of their
regard for themselves. •
Y.',,,•;\:•:;•sm is the true characteristic (cachet) of'
v
this rbition, which is, admirable in so many other
re;:petts ; this vice is that of the age, anti it is
the result of the extreme civilization of which we
are so vain. Unhappily all reasoning fails against
a passion so vile, and egotist» cannot be combated
except by egotism. Tice example is given as be the
tuition which now holds the sceptre of the world ;,
and it is this domination which destroys all the
rencrosity of its polidy, which obliges us to re-
Initials that are becUme sacred and obligstory,
upon all nations.

" The merratitild patriatiiill of the English is
eKelm'ive and intolerant ; iti3 passionate, because:
it i 3 deeply interested. It is the rigour of their
prohibitory 14W§ that caused the independenee of
the thiited States. It is said (which must be re•
rated Without ceasing) the evident opposition of
its interests to those of Europe which created that
mad Continental.Systemi- which would have suc-
kcelled and delivered- all nations>, had its author
made it the sole object aids policy. It is this same
mad srston which all nations will one day rounie
it they are reasonahle."—(Journal de Gctud—
Journal de lu Ittlgiine, 4ag,15.)

(There is much of truth, much of ingratitude,
some judicious reasoning, a good deal of in-
justice in this Essay, which, speaking as it does
pretty, nearly the opinion of the Continent con-
cerning us, merits and shall obtain our more par-
ticular notice hereafter.]
BRusset.s, AUG. 15.--p—Aq, article under this
talteu like the preceding from the Journal

-of ChM, gives an -Ottracilrom a speech made by
Air. Hayden, in the Assembly of The'States of the
Province of Antwerp, ur.nn the •deplorable Biwa,
tint) of the manufactures in Brabant, owing to
the enormous itoportation foreign (that is;
English) gOods.-,--All branches of 'industry (says
Mr. 11.) are equally threatened with destruction.

Yi At Farnhout the manufactory of tickings is
-annihilated, 3300 persons are out of employ;
some cloth manufactories with difficulty maintain
themselves; that of . hats, at Nl:Alines, which has
been celebrated for a century, is declining. Our
beautiful silk manufactories scarcely exist any
