It is said that Ministers have at lengdi resolved to
give America a foretaste of what she may expect
from a perseverance in her outrageous conduct to-
wards Great Britain. The granting of Licences to
import American produce is suspended, so that all
Commercial Intercourse between the two Countries
may now be considered as nearly at an end. While
we applaud the vigour which thus levels a chastise-
ment at the American democrats who have hurried
their country into a war, we acknowledge that it
would give us much satisfaction to see some discri-
minative arrangement adopted, by which those States
which have manifested an amicable disposition towards
this country, might be exempted from the interdict.
—The Federalists have fought many a hard battle,
both in and out of Congress, for the true interest of
both countries, and, if the measure be at all practi-
cable, should experience from us, even in war, a re.
turn of friendship.
IA similar system of commercial discrimination,
applied to Europe, might also, perhaps, be advan-
; tageons. NAPOLEON, whenever he wants revenue
licences a limited number of ships to sail to British,
Pmts. VA return with prescribed cargoes. Prohibit
all trade with Old France, but permit a regulated
I trade with the people of Holland and Flanders, of
Genoa and Leghorn—with those countries which are
only Frock by compulsion.

A cii

bas come to our knowledge which

proves incontestably, that the information received in
France on the subject of Sicily, does not wholly ema-
nate (as the article from the Paris Papers, received
Yesterday, would insinuate) from u fugitives," or the
"Journals of Palermo and Messina." Lord WILLIAM
SZNTiNcic recently intercepted a letter from a certain
'personage to BoisAPitara, in which the writer gave a
minute description of the British force in Sicily, and
implored the assistance of an army to reconquer the
Island. The writer of the letter (who could not deny
the hand-writing when it was eshibited), was instantly
ordered by Lord Wm. BENTINCK to prepare to quit
the Island. The Editor' of the Motsiteur, whose ar-
ticle we gave yesterday, has more than once evinced
au eager desire to replace Sicily under the paternal,
care of his Government.

j A vessel has arrived from the coast of Asturias, by
which letters have been received from ltibadeo to the
11th instant. A proposition has been made, which
will probably be extended to each of the privileged
ports of Gallicia, Andalusia, Murcia, and Catalonia.
At Cadiz, which is the most distinguiilied of those
favoured harbours, it has been recommended • by a
powerful body of the native merchants, to convert
that place into a free port. It has been at last disco-
vered, that the but thensome duties imposed, without
I materially augmenting the revenue, have greatly de-
`creased the trade, and by the rival intercourse of Gib-
I raltar, where no such impositions are exacted, the
commerce of this once magnificent depot has been
nearly destroyed. .

The letters state, that the number of sick in SouLr's
army alone, amounts to 7000, but that the fever
among the British forces has nearly disappeared.
The retirement of DALLASTEROS is attributed to
some intriguers about his person, who have imposed
on the openness and honesty of his nature, and who
have awakened all the prejudice and arrogance of the
Spaniard, while they put to sleep the liberality and
moderation of the Patriot.

HOUSE OF COMMQNS.
