RAGUSA, IN DALMATIA, AUGUST et

There have arrived hertz two merchant vessels
from Constantinople, having OP board several persons
charged with missions for various parts of the Conti.
nent. One of these persons has had. several con-
, ferences with the Members of our Government, and
it is whispered that we are about to resume our pr.-
cieat independence subject to a tribute to the O:t
man Porte. Such is the situation of our country from
the anarchy Which prevails, that we would prefer al-
most any Government to the present.

In the statemeut of the6l7..ench fir.aaces furn.:lle4
by the Pri,ce of oise poiat was pasta
over w!iich ought to Lye been stated, when contrast.
ing French with British taxation. 'Liking the Frencla
.National Debt, as it now actually stands, he figas that
while the expenditure for -England aniounts:-*.lio
francs for each individual. per annum,. is rarc e it
only amounts to about francs; but•bastiogi,t to.
have reminded the House, that the t4ati6nkl Debt•of
France had; during.the Revolution, been; reduced trt
A sweeping lair to oNt-third of its amount, is fkif
thipd agaim redused to a third! In other wordsv4e,

old debt of France, wi.ich is now to be paid'vettla
honsur and Addity, is oute-ninik only Of tho reallebt.`
contracted; the public creditors having lmen defrauth7
ed of eight-ninths of their .original claim. Britain ,
Has never in this manner applied a sptmge to ant.
part of her debts, Were she thus to wipe off eight-
ninths of their amount, the contribution for each in-
dividual would. be only one-ninth of 120 francs, or 13
francs per annum. Is France, in equity,.less bound

to pay that part of her debt whicb she expunged by
Revolutionary laws, than that portion which the Re.
volutionists allowed to remain as a claim against the.
State ? When she shall have restored the claims of

her defraudvd creditors, then let her compare the
honour, the industry, the resources, the good faith of
France, with those of Great Britain.

We regret the necessity we are still laid under
of re-cording fresh captures, of dajuable ships, by
American Privateers. It will be seen, in our Ship.
,news, that they have captured some more ships from
Buenos Ayres. Let us hope that effectual. means,
for the future protection of our commerce against the
efforts of such marauders, are, already, in forward-
preparation.
There is something in the character ..n(the Ameri-
can system* of ma itisne warfare which callifar eaten.
sled inflictions on the people which perrnissq4, 411.7
maturdim whoever are willing to embsrk in their pri.
vateers, and the Government gives a- premium 'to'
every Captain of a privateer who brings to America.
the Register of any English vessel, captured and sunk
at sea. It is pot more just to seize privite property.
at sea, for the mere purpose of destruction, than ta,
capture towns on land for the like purpose of destruc-
tion. Since the enemy seeks, as a part of a-system,
the destruction of private property, they ought to be
made to feel the effects of the tame system in what-
ever way we ran visit them with the infliction. The.
United States should be made to fee.; the 44,...4.nne.
would have them cause the voice of the puopleaolwei
