rwreunt M thcit. AAA, their lands, and possessions. It has
already beta established, that England was justified is 'fleeting
Agents to watch deer the strict fulfilment of the obligations
contracted by that Treaty. U the lawful vigilance of her Oa;
eets so appointed was the real occasion of their ignominious fate,
the remaining duty of this Government is broad aud manifest.
If the Indians, whom we were bound by treaty as well as by
justke and humanity to protect, require our prom?: and efficient
protection, to save them from being dispossessed, and pursued,
and cater.ainated, the duty of L'ngLand, in that case, is equally
clear. We make no charge of negligence upon Ministers—we
infer none. Vie trust they have not failed in that satred owes
of maintaining the national honour and good faith to those on
whose behalf they were pledged. But again we repeat, these
eases mut be investigated; and Parliament must know, and the
country must be satisfied, that British subjects and Bridals allies
are not to be oppressJd in the dark, and with impunity.'

' It may be interesting to many in England to know,
that it is stated, on good authority, that the three
millions of re:des, which have been allotted to Great
Britain out of the sum agreed to be paid by France,
in name of Indemnities, will be more than sufficient
by 500,000, to pat all the admitted claims of Bri-
tish subjects.

We have frequently remarked that the Continental
Powers were acting on BoNAennyeasystem of ex-
clusion, to the prejudice of Britis4 interests. We
have done much for them, but they are not willing
to do any thing for us. They will take our money,'
in the shape of loans, to any extent; but they oppose
the introduction of our manufactures by exacting the
most oppressive duties. Nothing but an utter igno-
rance of the-true principles of commercial policy can
' dictate such conduct. In attempting to injure the
trade of Britain, thty are, in fact, striving to destroy
their own. Experience alone must teach them_ and

it will only be when they find a retrogression in the
productive powers of labour, that they will discover
the errors pf their system. We are led on the pre-
sent occasicas into these remarks, by an Ukase which
has just been issued by the Emperor of RUSSIA, by
which English woollen cloths are charged with a tran-
sit duty of five hundred copecks, whi:e those of Prussia
are charged no more than 120 copecks per archine.
—The consequence of this Edict will be to cut up
entirely the sale of Yorkshire cloths, which has been
hitherto very considerable throughout the Russian
Empire. Sach is its effect, that even already nume-
rous vessels are daily arrivirtg from Stettin and other
Prussian ports, at Petersburgh, filled with cloths of
Prussian manufacture. The conduct of Russia in
giving this preference, is as impolitic as it is un—
fair. The market of Great Britain is the :not im-
portant of any in the world to Russia, because, the
consumption of the most valuable of her products
depends upea the extent of our shipping, which far
exceeds that of any other country; and it ought to
be the of Russia to cultivate its esmnsereial
relations with this country by every act of fair reci-
procity in its power.
