AN.

Ti the EDITIOR of TILE STATESMAN.

Sta—l rely on your impartiality for Inserting a
few lines, though they should contain opinions
different from yours.
Is your Paper of yesterday, you propose that
the King's title should be changed to that of Em.
-*tor because the French had changed the title
of their Matriarch ; we are not, most certainly, to
follow the example of that giddy Helium in all
their nonsense, and I think it would be attended
with 'bad cettsequaciis. Those Who were born
the King's subjects in America, ,would thiak it
eery strange that they no longer had a Kiwj.
This is a 'Lel common expression all over Erg.
lish.America, and all through the Republic,
szasiara a subject of Me meaning our
King ; and that expression goes more to attach
the King's American subjects, tie well as his late
subjects, the people of the United Stales, to Eng-
land, than any thing else.
Another reason for not clawing the title is,
the best-informed men of my acquaintance are of
opinion, that Bonaparte will be the last Emperor
that France will ever have: when that change
shall take place lit France, some people here mar i
say, 6 You have made one change to aememilltael
date yourselves to France, why don't ?Gumlike el
second change to accommodate yourselves to her Pi
—There are other reasons also why it should not
be, which reasons I do not think proper to pub
Now that I am on this subject, I do think
there should be p change, but not of the kind
you recommensie I think the King should be
styled " King of the English Dominions," that
would include the vast and valuable possessions in
America and in Asia, to give you an idea of the
importance of which, I shall merely mention that
the American Archipel (commonly, though imprte!
perly, called 6 West Indies,') alone employ WOO
sail of English vessels constantly, and purchase
goods manufactured in this country to the amount
of seven millions annually. That part of the. Em.
pire is too valuable to be excluded from 'the title
that the King bears. With respect tot British
Isles,' or' England, Wales, and Scot-
land, form an island called ' Britain :1 how you
can make the plural number of it I know no;.
I am, Sir,
Your humble Servant,
A SUBJECT OF Tilt MNG.

In compliance with the request of one Corte-
'pendent we bare inserted his totters we ham nei-
ther the vanity to hope, nor the bigotry to insist,
that our opinions are incontrovertible. Our rea.
sons for sag/testing the assumption of the Impe-
rial title by the Monarch of the United Kingdom,
are founded not on our own partiality for
titles, but on the effects produced by such
distinstions on the minds of the mass of mart.
kind. Between the two great and potent
England and France, the dominion over
Europe is coefesseilly divided. While France is
in actual isosseseion of the Continent, England
permits or restrains, at pleasure, the maritime in..
terceurse of the otber quarters of the Globe with
the Continent of Europe. And paransoant as
Fresco is on that Continent, the almost boundless
colonial possessions of England—her irresistible
navy—her industry.--her mechanical ingenuity—
aud her commercial ascendancy, may well beadle
mated as conferring a power fully equal, if not
superior, to even that which France has at last at.
tabled by her success in the last struggle of Amine.
But Peace must at some period arrive; for perpe.l
teal War, we apprehend, no man anticipates.
That the title of N'APOLLON meet be recognised,
as a preliminary to even negotiation, we as.
same as an incontrovertible position. If, then,
the King of ENOLVID acknowledges the Empe.
rot of FKANCE,--not only throughout Europe,
but iu Asia, will the superiority of rank amnngst
the kingdoms of Europe he conceded to France t.
That stark admission were inconsistent with even,
very obvious policy, we think it not difficult to
thew. " England," says NAPOLEON, 66 cosmos
cc contend against France tingk.kasedeci."......How
long she can contend against France single.handed
it is impossible to foresee. But England has con.
tended singlo.handed against France. The resist.
ance of Spain, and the campaign with Austria, have
for the last twelve mouths taken off the great-weight
of the French force. But England may now be
said to be contending aingle-handed not only
against France, but against the concentrated
strength of France, Rolland, and all the Nur.
therm Powers; and whenever negotiations for
Peace shall be opened, England will certainly de.
mend to treat upon an equality with France, or
we very gnittly mistake the character and temper
of the people of this Empire. To assume,
therefore, a title of equality, does appear to
ns absolutely and indispensibly necessary. In
the Mediterranean, nn the banks of the I3os.
phorus, throughout the Peniusnla of India, at
the Court of Persia' in China, and throughout
the whole Continent of Asia, the machinations of
the French aro at this moment, though silently
and unobserved, yet universally and indefatigably
in operation. In India French agents aro ac.
knowledge) to be very numerous, and it is well
known that they are scattered user very distant
parts of Asia.
The character and achievements of Naeotssui;
French industry and address have communicated
in even the remotest regions. The influence of
external pomp, and of title, in every place that
we have mentioned, is so well known, that it were
superfluous- to argue that point ; and it is imposale
hle to doubt that iu all future negoelatioas,
whether commercial or political, the French will
not neglect to avail themselves of every saperlorl.
ty, whether affected, real, or imaginary, that

a superiority would neither be unseen, nor unfelt.,
The situation of British Ambassadors and En.
voys ill the Courts of Europe would not be very

bary and Mediterranean Powers—which are
amongst the favourite objects of I'rsueh commer.
cial policy, their ascendancy would be powerfully
promoted. In Constantinople, in Persia, in In.
die, in China, and throughout Asia, the opera.
don of the principle would finally operate mate,.
rially to the promoties of French influence.
To admit the superiority or right of paramount
precedency of France in the Courts of Europe,
now undergoing so important and entire a change,
were in our opinion most impolitic, and might
possibly, apd eveu probably, excite diplomatic
arrogasace, which would lead to disputes, the con.
sequences of which might be highly ineoevesient.
We are arguing not only on the presumption
of our suggestion! being the prtsorsor of PEACE
but en the rithability that 11 may trod to prevent
the revival of disputes by tithing away the Wu.
rat jealousy eacitrd by superiority. Whatever
accesNion or title the aad Of the French Nation
may *link proper to ameme, to us it appears
politic, and expedleut, thin the Head of the
Waked Empire of Great Britain and Ireland.
should assume 4 title of equality. In this opi.

elision, midis rounded on the wish for PEACE,

To the EDITOR of THE STATESMAN, •

Stn.—When a man has committed a public act, I
which he cannot justify, it is geucrally the wisest '
Way net to attempt a dilenee, yet it is by no
means uncommon for a persue this circumstanced
to du some ridiculous thing, by which he sncceeda
in concealiee the fully or iniTiity front himself, and
is thee weak enough to suppose, that because he
has deeeitt!il himself, he will succeed by the same
means in deceiving the Public. In this predica-
ment is Mr. James Brandon. Mr. B. 66 complains
" that he is accused of taking a false onth, and
t' that fair. Bish's letter Is intended to prove it."
Whether Mr. Bish intended this or nut, ally, if
B pleases, be left to his own. deciiion ; but
certainly, Sir, Mr. B. has net literally " taken a
false oath." What says the bill ? That the Ma.
stagers, Etc, Ace. Now Mr. Bish says, that as ear,

der this anthlgnttp fot as the hilt sets out with
string. that the 66 orders *ere fernished by Ma-
yfly's," of course the reetainder of the Mill, as
applied to the Managers, is nut trite. But will
Mr. B. swear, that if, instead of Maruiger, his
oust name were sebstitnted, that the bill is nut
then iitrrally true? No; Mr. B. will not do
this: leaved Mr. Brateloti will do well to consider
ashe:tier his friends, the fightiug Jews, have not
else id► been trusted toe far.
'I at) Public are sot to be deceived by such a
stateni,ot as this of Mr-Brandon's ; foe though
Mr. B. has literally sworn the truth, yet the ob-
ject evidently is, to persuade the Public, that
orders have not been issued.to Mendez* for the
purpomts stated in the hand:hill, and I an tempted
to ask, if the ruffiars hid not bas free admis-

perfectly true; but it is equally to that persons
were authorised to issue Orders to the per.
suns named in the hand-bill and such or;

purposes mentioned in such hand - bill. As

We give the whole of Mr. Powell's Letter—of
which only an extrast appears in The Morning

The Duke of PuRTLIIND was supposed to be
dying on Sunday, the thrush having appeared in
his mouth. Dr. Hairs/owes informed Isis family or
the circumstance; however, his Grace got better

not survive long, on Tuesday night. If, how-
ever, he should survive a short time, we under-

him to Bulatrode.

Sir, that at the house of a Jew Pastrycoek in
