on the West Indian station have latterly been able to
make consist of small privateers, fitted out against our
trade from Guadaloupe.

to pay for one of colonial produce, and all the gold
of France will be rapidly swept away, as it was not
long since, when the Americans came into our pints
by hundreds. Besides, who does not know that they'
give a decided preference to the wines of Madeira, ei
Spain, and Portugal, as having more body, and to
the brandies of Catalonia, a's being cheaper ? and,
moreover, not content with consuming it themselves,
they will hawk it about in the north of Europe, to
the great prejudice of ours, for which we have for
some time found a considerable vent by land. They
will sell us tobacco, but does it suit us to crush a new
branch of agriculture, which is making daily the
greatest progress, and frees us from a burthensome
foreign tribute ?
Cottons! Cannot the Levant furnish us with enough,
and take in exchange the rich productions dour ma-
nufactures ?

Sugars and Coffee! Where can they get it for
themselves if not from the possessions of England or
her conquests ? Will they have the effrontery to
bring us the produce of our own colonies, now become
the prey of our enemies ? This would be too much.
What care we fcr those costly superfluities, the con-
sumption of which is of so much injury to our own
soil ? If our epicures c-annot do without them, our
privateers will not let them want.
Many more reflections, Sir, might be added to
what I have just said, but let us confine ourselves to
this : the Americans, tolerated by us as neutrals, will
do us still greater injury with regard to the exporta-
tions of our grain. They can curry theirs much
cheaper to all the people that consume ours : being at
equal price and even higher, it will always be preferred
by the English ; they will bring it to Spain anal Por-
tugal, and deprive us of the last vent which still re-
mained to our southern departments.
All that has been said until now, relates not only
to France, but to all the countries subject to her in-
fluence or under her dominion, and from which may
be drawn this true and melancholy consequence, that
all maritime or colonial commerce, admitted or tole-
rated on the Continent of Europe, will always turn
to the advantage of the English people, and will fur-
nish them with the means of prolonging the war ;
that the Americans are about to become the most
powerful auxiliaries to this commerce, and that the
veil under which they pretend to disguise it will give
lit a new energy—that it is the greatest interest of
France and of her Allies to defeat, by all possible
means, that odious connivance between the people
who call themselves our friends, and the eternal ene-
mies of our repose and prosperity. E. D.
I was on the point of forwarding my letter when I
learned, from a good source, that all is now finally
arranged between England and the United States,
and according to the news of the 29th of April, to
reciprocal satisfaction. This open and frank step of
the United States, is at least more decent than what
they first adopted. They have agreed with the Eng-
lish not to sail to France, Holland, or Italy, and to
take from them the inclination (admire the precau-
tion), a new Order of Council of the 29th April
last, declares those countries in a rigorous state of
blockade ! All the ports of the United States are
opened as formerly to the English commerce. This
is excellent ! It remains to be known whether these
happy combinations will not be rendered useless by
him who so well knows how to have his orders exe-
cuted. Whether he will suffer all the countries that
surround France to be inundated by English goods,
which would be fraudulently introduced into his Em-
pire ? Whether the frontiers of Germany or Switzer-
land will not be as rigorously shut as those of Hol-
land, to whatever may come from that self-called
American commerce ? Whether all allies will not
join in the total exclusion of a flag which has become
too suspicious ? Whether precautions will not be
doubled and carried to the greatest pitch of severity
—whether we must not learn definitively to do without
some factitious engagements, and thereby prevent
one or two millions more men from perishing as vic-
tims of English monopoly and American cupidity ?

The Duchess of Buccleugh has been swindled
lately out of several sums of money, by means of let-
ters sent to her Grace, purporting to be written by
Lady Elizabeth Murray, stating that her Ladyship
was under embarrassed circumstances in London.—
, Her Grace believing the tale, sent money at different
times, as requested, addressed to the Crown Hotel,
Soho-square. Her Grace afterwards, in correspon-
ding with her friends in Edinburgh, found that she
had been imposed upon, as Lady Elizabeth Murray
was in Edinburgh, where he: Grace had been for
some time past. A few days since her Grace re-
ceived another letter in the same hand-writing, and
purporting to be written by Lady Elizabeth Murray,
requesting another sum of money ; stating that it
was to convey her to Windsor, she having been ap-
pointed to a place in the Palace, under their Majes-
ties. The money, as usual, was requested to be sent
to the Crown Hotel, Soho-square. This letter was
answered by her Grace's agent, requesting that Lady
Elizabeth Murray would wait upon the Duchess of
Buccleugh, at her house in Privy-gardens. Yester-
day a young man, genteelly dressed, about 20 years
of age, called at her Grace's house,-and informed the
porter he was grandson to Lady Elizabeth Murray,
and called by the appointment of the Duchess. The
porter being informed of all the circumstances, shewed
him into the stew ard's room and procured a con-
stable. He was taken to the Public Office, Queen's-
square, and underwent an examination before the Sit-
ting Magistrate, who committed him to Tothill-fields
Bridewell for further examination. He said his name
was Nichol.

The Leeds waggon was lately overturned at Clay-
ton Heights, owing to the road giving way, and the
waggon rolled down the frightful precipice at that
place. There were no passengers, and the horses es-
caped by the shafts breaking at the moment the acci-
dent occurred.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 8.

TAE KING V. SAMUEL ALEXANDER.

This was an indictment charging the defendant
ith perjury, in a trial before Sir .1. MANSFIELD,
where he gave evidence as a witness on behalf of his.
son, Israel Alexander.
The whole of the case (though there were several
averments) turned upon one point, namely, whether
he had sworn falsely on that trial, in saying that " he
was not in copartnership with his son." To establish
this falsehood, several witnesses were called, all of
whom proved that he was.—On cross-examination,
however, it appeared, that although they so swore
it, yet that he was not in partnership with him at the
time when 14e was giving his testimony.
Serjeant BEST shortly addressed the Jury in his
behalf.
Mr. GARROW was about to reply, when
Lord ELLEVDOROCOH referred to the record, and
finding the allegation incorrectly stated, the defen-
dant was in consequence acquitted.
