CO.II.IIO7CATION FIWW ST. HELENS

The following is a Memorandumof Observations,
said to have been made by BONAPARTZ, itt a conver-
sation with some Gentlemen who lately touched at
St. Helena, in their way to England
" Alter the usual salutations, Bowarawrz alluded
to GIADANNZ'S Mission, by observing, that he had
shown the road from Constantinople to Persia; thus
rapidly adverting to India, he aiked what the Rus-
sians were about on their Asiatic frontier? And
with little attention to the replies, proceeded to speak
of the powers of the different Sovereigns. and their
views. The Russians, be said, were the Most formi-
dable people in Europe. England and Fiance had
not the same alilitAry advantages, although their
troops bad mesa moral power aunt any of tbir other
nations. A Frenchman, on becoming a soldier,
leaves a better country than any that he can be called
to serve in; and the Englishman, in general. finds
himself worse off abroad than at home, so that only
the refuse of the population is inclined to enter the
arm,. The Russian, on the contrary; ceases to be a
miserable slave, and becomes literally a freeman
when he quits R ussia. He improves his condition;
he finds comforts which be never could enjoy at
home; and consequently ALaxastien might increase
his army to any amount upon service out of his own,
dominions; and if he organized Poland well, he'
would secure the command of Europe. ALUAN.
nen's object had always been to take Constantinople;
but he (Narotszni) had distinctly told him, that he
never would permit the Greek Cross to be placed on
the Crown of the Czar.

" Austria was willing to assist the views of Russia,
if she herself was to be guaranteed in the possession
of the Provinces contiguous to the Turkish frontier ;
so that Prance and Russia would be left, alone to de-
fend Turkey.
" In speaking of the power of thaw for objects
of conquest, be said the Cossacks wen formidable,
not so much flora their numbers as their peculiar
ability to endure privations in traversing unknown
countries. They also resembled the Bedouin Arabs
in the gift of vision. So great in this respect was the
faculty of the Bedouins, that when in Egypt, upon
an occasion when he wished by means of his tele-
scope to observe a body of men who appeared era the
horizon, he bad scarcely levelled his glass, when a
Bedouin near him recognized with the naked eye ano.
ther Bedoum, and described his dress, due. so as to
distinguish the tribe to which be belonged.
" England, he said, could never btcome a Conti-
nental Power. Fortrfive thousand weer with all the
bravery of the nation, could never give her authority
on the Continent. A. naval and commercial system
was alone adapted to her situation, and could alone
preserve her from the ruin with which she was three.
tend. Lord WILLIOLZY was right in saying that
her distress was permanent. Lord CALST!..IIPIAGH
had made himself a Courtier to the Sovereigns, and
had neglected the interests of England. England.
was like the dog looking at its shadow in the water,
aad Which dropt the meat out of its mouth. If there
had been an able Minister in the British Cabinet at
the arrangement of, the affairs of Europe, the terms
of the .peace would have beea very different from
those concluded on. The utmost.possible extension
of commerce, and a total relinquishment of Conti-
nental. military ambition, could alone rescue Eng•
hmdfrom its present difficulties. The King of Pod.
Tuned. should have becu made to grant five years
elusive privilege of trade with the Brazils, as the pi ice
of his Portuguese throne.
"In forum times, the English Ministers hadmade.
peace like merchants, and had filled the pockets
their country s the present Ministers had set op be
gentlemen, and bad rained themselves.

" In the year 1783, England threatened to go to
war again, if France did not agree to the Commer,
641 Treaty, which speedily ruined her. The Preneh
Monsters was obliged to accede to the demand, as

We have received a series of Porn from the North
of Germany to the 7th instant, the contents of which
are not devoid of interest.

The trade of Denmark with the West Indies is
stated to have been so unfavourable this year, as to
have produced a very great and embarrassing decline
in the Danish exchange. Most of the ships that went
oat this season have returned with only half cargoes,
and even these have proved more than enough for
the markets, so completely are they overstocked with
colonial produced From this unusual combination, of
deficiency in the supply and dullness of demand, in-
cluding of course a reduction of price, the merchants
experience a want of money to cover their bills of ex-
change, which is evert► post-day becoming more dis-
!rasing. The ezchi'nge, it is feared, will not be long
of being again at 560.
The failure which the Danes have suffered in their
Colonial trade, is in some measure compensated by
a promise of unusual abundance in the fisheries of
their own shores. Vast shoals of herrings continue,
as the; have done for some years past, to shew them-
Ores on the coasts of Jutland and in the Belts, and
so attentive have the Danes been :o the source of
wealth thus opened to them, that they will have, it is
said, no less than 150 vessels employed in the Great
Belt alone this year.

In Sweden, the pernicious effects of the restrictive
system—the blame of which, by the bye, we are not
disposed to attribute so wholely to the,Swedisii Gn-
vernment as is generally done, and may perhaps take
another opportunity of placing in its proper light—
are daily exhibiting themselves in some more obnoxi-
ous aspect. The harvest, which in ordinary years is
far from equll to the consumption of the country,
will, even in this gear of general abundance, he r•n

dollars wil requite to be expended in the import, ion
