cessary waste of labour is an 'absolute loss to man-
kind generally, and that aery community is, (or
Might be), benefited by the icitustry of every other ;
for, blind as many are to the fic3;,:tife whole human
rue forms but one family, and the greater their free-
dom of commercial intercourse the greater the bene-
fits which they mutually confer.
• Nothing can be more absurd than a belief that the
reception of a foreign manufacture, ate deafter price
than it can be prepared at home, can be an injury.
It is a real benefit, and all that ib wanted is, that all
should act upon it as a principle—as the means best
adapted to bring the industry of every individual to
the best market, and to procure to hint the largest
possible morn for his labour.

. A series of German Papers received since our last
has furnished us, among other interesting extracts
which will be found in our preceding columns, with
an excellent Answer to the foolish Dec'station which
we had occasion to notice yesterday of the Flemish
Associators against the use of British manufactures.
The tendency to exclusion, the writer justly remarks,
is common to all countries where manufactories exist,
and animates the village shoemaker and tailor as
well as the greatest manufacturer; nor can it be
.
doubted, he adds, that the exclusion of foreign ma-
aufactures is advantageous to the native manufacturer
and artisan, and that it is quite natural for them to
wish to make it appear that their interest is the gene.
:al interest of the State. But that the consumer of the
manufactures can lung for the exclusion of foreign
articles from the market, in order that he may pay a
highn verics for what he wants—that twenty-five mil.
lions of Germans can have so far lost their reason as
to require of their Governments to be protected
against the liberty of bushes bettff soar at a lower juks,
and petition for a general tax on consumption for the
benefit of some few German manufacturing towns
and individual proprietors of manufactories—are ab-
surdities which he forcibly holds forth to the ridicule
they merit.

-

It is hardly possible to ebnceiia any thing more
ibsurd than systems caliplated to restrain, in 'any
way, the ciscalation of thcproduets of industry among
gill the families of the earth.. ,All prohibitory laws
respecting the consumption of articles of roreign pro-
duction originate in ignorance of the real interests of
mankind generally. The forced use of the mannfac.
tures of any one country, in preference to those of
other countries which can furnish them cheaper, is
.neither more nor less than a compulsory waste of a
portion of every man's labcur. If, for example, a
Man who needs a coat, which he could buy, if left to
seek the cheapest marker, for the produce of 'ix days
labour, must purchase it from a arVdgur at one half
• More, he must then work aim dap instead of six. In
other words the State itself, that is, the general com-
munity, thus lose three days labour of each indi-
vidual whenever he requires to have a new coat—
and so of every other article of consumption. In
fact, manufactures which can only be upheld, any
where, by such a sacrifice of the consumer's industry,
so far Irons being beneficial, are actually injurious to
She community that maintains them. They tend to
impoverish a country ; whereas the same quantity of
Industry, directed to proper objects, would tend to
enrich it, by furnishing products fit for other markets
thus cirelaiing all the produas of industry ever
IP list surface of the earth.
Nothing can be more evident than that all cane.

The ten persons implicated in the affair of the
Black Pin, and acquitted by the Court of Assize,
have been set at liberty. The Sieur Grimaldi, who
has made so conspictrius a figure in this cause,
has, in a letter in one of the Journals, conjured
the public to suspend their judgment on the at-
tack which has been made on hie homer, until he pub-
lishes a memoir, which is to put the whole truth in
its proper light, to confound calumny, and to prove

The cause of the Cosseur Luellen came on to be
heard in the Royal Court yesterday, when M. HUAI
Advocate-General, declared that he now restricted
the accusation to a single chapter, intituled, Mom-
tele yang de Sainte. Helene. M. MaptlisON, the Advo-
cate of the accused, confined himself, therefore, in his
defence, to this point alone, and endeavoured to stew
that in consequence of the refutation which they had
subjoined to this pretended Manuscript, there could
be no criminal intention in the publication. The Ad-
vocate-General afterwards moved the adjournment
of the cause till to-day, in order to reply to the plead-
ing of M. Merilhon, which was done accordingly.
In the Afteha la Nantes it is stated that the French
vessel le Jean Charles, Captain Peytavin, having
left the Havannah on the 11th July, was, after pass-
ing through the streights of Bahama, chaced and
captured by a Corsair galliot of the Indepenients of
Florida, carrying the white flag with the green cross.
The pretest of the capture was, that theJeanCharles,
having cleared from Havannah, the merchandise
which she had on board must be on Spanish account.
She was carried to Amelia, where she arrived on the
27th, after being completely pillaged and rummaged
by the crew of the Corsair.
In the Northern Provinces of Sweden, the cold was
so intense on the nights of the 22t1 and 24th August
last, as to have reached the freezing point. The da-
mage which it has done, especially to the garden
fruits, has been considerable.

BERLIN, SEPTEMBER t 7.

On the 24th the King arrived here from Potsdam,
and, accompanied by the Princes and Great Officers
of his Household, reviewed the troops of the garrison.
lr will be recollected that General Oneisenau put
at the disposal of the Beneficent Society of Coblents
his table service which had cost 1300 thalers, in or.
der that the produce might be applied to the relief of
the indigent. The King hes purchased the service
for the sum of 2000 thalers, and presented it back to
tike General, whose humanity has thus obtained a
most bonourable reward.
PETERSBURGH. SEPTEMBER to.

An important change in our Ministry has taten

cillor and Minister of Justice, has obtained leave to
retire with a pension of 10.0b0 Burins. He is suc-
ceeded in the Ministry of Justice by the General of
Infantry Prince Lobanow Kostowsky.
