The following we give as a comparative view of the
late law and the new one. Many items are not inserted,
but it will be sufficient to chew the important changes.
The principle of restricting trade for the encourage-
ment of domestic manufactures, which England is
striving to, and would if possible, immediately,abolish,.
is here acknowledged and. put into effect. This law is
not to raise a revenue. The, Secretary of the United
States Treasury is afraid'that the revenue will decrease.
It is merely to encourage home' manufactures'; of
course England and most of the other Powers will lay
on countervailing duties, and trade *ill be fettered in-)
etead of encouraged; the law will' be evaded ; smtzg'-
gling will bonanza stidargettendo ask will.beneore pro-.
Stable; differences about the treatment of smugglers,
or the right of boarding may ensue; and. if no.fighting
follows, some antipathy most certainly will.

BIRM A N EMPIRE.

The Birman army consists of occasional levies and a
small permanent force of a very inferior description ;
some undisciplined native Christians and renegadoes,
who act as artillerymen ; an inconsiderable body of
'cavalry, and about 2000 infantry, as ill-armed and
equipped as they are undisciplined. The levies are easily
raised on the spur of the moment, as every man is liable
to be called on for military service, and several orthe
great proprietors of land hold their estates on rattail
tenure. It is supposed that the largest armies ever as-.
sembled by the Birmans have not exceeded sixty thou.-,
sand men, though the numbers of that which lacer
conquered Asam were much more highly rated in the;
public accpunts. This, however, was probably an ex-,
aggeration. The infantry are armed with swords and:
muskets, the cavalry with a spear. The,htter are all
natives of the mountains of Khasi, (Casey, to the east
of Tipurati, Bengal). Their horses arc. wall and not',
