merely on account of reiter atel insults of chit kind. But
if other serious differynces were ever to arise, those petty
provocations would go far to prevent
,their amicable
adjustment ; because we forget, in this country, that
the Press in other nations has not the sameliceose as
here, and that among them nothing can be published
which has not the tick sanction of the Government.
—lt is extremely natural, therefore, that the Ru'ers of
Foreign States may, though erroneously, be impressed
al h the idea that the British Government shews no
great respect for the honour of other Sovereigns, else
ttiey might have repressed such offences.
From all quarters, Naples, Spain, Russia, and else-
where, we daily hear the loude,t complaints from our
merchants and countrymen, of the supineness of our
Ambahadors and Envoys at Foreign Courts, in ob-
taining redress for such grievances as may casually
arise to their interests. But are they aware how much
of this is owing to the thoughtless folly of seme flippant
Journalist at home, wires:: libel is always throwa in the
teeth of the Minister_cQmplaining ?

At a late hour we received the Moan,- of Wed-
nesday, and the Etoile of yesterday, by Express. The
latter notices the attempts of some persons on 'Change
to lower the French Funds, in which it appears they
were successful, for the Three per Cents. which opened
on Wednesday morning at 74f. 73c. fell, at vac)
o'clock, to 73: 10c. and it is said, on the authori•y e f
a private letter, that they were done as low as 72f.
The Etoile declares there is not the slightest cause for
this depression.

The Hambnrgh Papers, which we received this fore-
noon to the 6th instant, contain an article from Stock-
holm of the 26th ult. stating that the report of an ap-
proaching convocation of the Swedish Diet, which the
English and German Papers spread some months ago,
gains more and more credit ; and that people al-
ready begin to busy themselves with conjectures .re-.
speeting the questions that were likely. to be laid be-
fore the States.

Dutch Papers to the 10th instant reached us this
forenoon. They contain no news from Greece. On
the 7th instant the King, of the NITIMILANDS visited
the Exhibition of the National Manufactures at Haar-
lem, and that of Paintings. His MAJZSTT spent four
hours in the exhibition rooms, and repeatedly ex-
pressed his satisfaction at the perfection of the national
manufactures. The following intelligence from Batavia
Is extracted from these Papers:
