THE STATESMAN.

PROPOSITI WEAN.

LONDON:
TUESDAY, AUGUST 1.

IN TUE STATESMAN of Friday hot, we.. stated
our opiuiou that it was not " unreasonable to
4t conjecture that N.troceoe would hasten from
"6 the Banks of the Danube to those of the
1* Scheldt, the IVeser, or the Elbe, as he did
" from Madrid to Slrasburgh, when the Arch.
" duke CHARLES, by the passage of the Inn,
'6 commenced that war which has terminated in
" the absolute annihilation of the House of Aug-
" tria."— Decisive as was the battle of Wagram
agsinst the power of Austria, the crisis of NA-
rOLEON'S fortunes cannot be said to have been
, passed, twill be shall have finally secured his power
by repelling the formidable attack of our wilted
Fleet and Army—for if, by their success, the .po-
pulation of Holland and the North of Germany,
now groaning under French domination, should
burst forth into open insurrection, he will then have
to maintain hostilities in Spain—in Holland, and the
North of Germany, at the same moment that he
is compelled to hold his fortified poti!ions in Aus-
tria. The character of this extraordinary man is
so well known, that it is not to be supposed ho
will be idle in an emergency so imminent.—From
these considerations, we thought it reasonable to.
expect, that he would immediately fly from the
scene of inaction to that of active hostility-;—to ,
that quarter of the Continent in which his pre.
sence would give more vigour and animation, than
could be infused into the armies under his con.
trout by any delegated potters. It is now ru.
moored, in the last communications from the Con-
tinent, that he has actually returned to Paris.—
This fact has not yet been received through
any channel which can be deemed authentic—
but the probability or that event leaves us
no inducement to doubt the truth of the re.
port. No information has yet been receiv.el of
the operations of our Expedition. The
tants of Walcheren are said to be disposed to re.
ceivieus in the most friendly manner—from which
the easy possession of that place may perhaps be
anticipated. But that the shores of the Scheldt
will not be defended, and that vigorously—is quite
beyond our expectation. With the first inielli.
genee from our fleet, tie think it is probable that
accounts will also be received of a very formidable
French and Dutch force in the neighbourhood of
Antwerp. If every part of France is stripped
of tri. it may be with certainty expected that
the lotirineditated and publicly known point of
our attack will not be left uncovered.

It, an article from Breslau, of the 12th of
June, it is mentioned in letters from the Austrian
frontiers, that the Russian corps which has entered
Lemberg has established a sort of mixed govern.
ment there. Count Wenstian is appointed Go.
vernor of Gallicia. The circles of Billitt z, Cracow,
31yelawirc, Buchnier, and &Airliner, are placed
by the Russiaus under separate administrations,
all Magistrates retaining their posts, Ice.
From this arrangement it is not imposzible that
some dispute may arise at a future period between
the Emperors of FaA &me anti RUSSIA ; —this to he
sure is of slight importance, as Is; sPOLEON will
continue to cajole the weak—infatuated—doge.
nerale ALLIANDER—just so long a...the alliance
is convenient—as the subserviency of the -Masco.
vile is necessary—and only until the gigantic
plans of NAPOLEON shall be sufficiently matured.
—Were it not Si outrage upon common sense to
couple the name of the wise Cr.-I-sus with the
frivolous and puerile Ar.exasere, it might be
said, that, like the " long-enduring" hero of the
Odyssey, in the Cave of PuLvru EMUS--A LE.vor-
DLit has the especial favour of being reserved fur
the last morsel.

On Thursday the li'alsinghan packet arri►ed
at Faltnouth, in 17 days, from Lisbon. General
CuAwrotte had arri►ed there from Portsmouth,
with about 3000 men, as had also about the same
number from Cork, the whole of which were en.
camped in the neighbourhood of Lisbon. Sir A.
WELLESLZY was understood to be on the Spanish
frontiers, but bad not, as pre►iously stated,
formed a julictiol with CULSTA, although he was
on the eve of joittitig him.
Fresh accounts la►e been reeei►ed from the Do.
mega!, on board of which is Lord WELLIALEY,
and the Suite of the Embassy to Spain, on the
261 b alt. to 6.40. W. lung. and 49. N. lit. -about!
60 miles South a Scilly, all well. The Dosegu
had t.skew three prises, by which Otis iutelligeoce'
ias beto remi►ed.

Yesterday American letters and pa;►ers were re-
ceived from New York to the 17th, and from
Philadelphia, by the way of Liverpool, to the
$5lll ult. 'The Diary called 46 7%C True Ameri.

mously by the Senate, excited much alarm, and
produced a strong sensation in the market fur
American pr►duce. It still be recollected, that
the former Non Intercourse Act was merely tem-
porary, and would have died a natural death had
its restrictions nut been renewed by this measure.
The consequence of which would have been, that
the trade would be thrown open with regard to
both Great Britain and France, and we, who are
supposixl by the Republican Government to have
retracted our Orders in Council, should have no
exclusive benefit resulting from such a concession.
The new Act continues the provisions of the
11th Sect. of the former Act,. by which the Presi-
dent is empowered to prevent its operation with
respect to the country revokincits'Orders or De-
erect. The clause is as follows :
" Provided that nothing therein" (in this Act)
46 contained, shall be considered to prohibit any
" trade or commercial intercourse; which has been
66 or may be permitted, in conformity with the
" provisions of the 11th Sectimi of the '6 said"
46 (former) 64 Act."
in the American Journal-to which we have re-
ferred, the revival of the Non-interceurse Act is
considered as an affair of course. Had it-been a
new measure against Great Britain, it would have
been resisted in the Senate by the former oppo-
nents of the restrictions ; but the whole is passed
over both in Congress and in the public papers, as
a matter in the ordinary routine of business requir.
in; nu uotiee.

The following are extracts from letters respecting
public concerna of some importance.
U Norfolk, June 6th.
" The flaytian brig Victore, *hose arrival was policed is
oar last. has been, we understand, seized by the Cu.tom- hong.,
as a Frenen vessel *bade entry is forbiddt:n At law. This case
will present an haportnat qucsti•tn upon she independence of
the Island of Hayti. It is eertainly true that in conformity to
the views of the late Admbilaratko,arol in compliance with
the wishes of the Grand Emperor, nor lan s have said, that
St. Domingo is nut iodepenciem. /low far policy may direct
u to refuse to acknowltdee the independence of that
we undertake not to say ; hut the consequence of the eus.dem-
natioo of this vessel as a French rcesei, will must probably
briug a piratical war wpm our commons."
" New-York, June 13111.
"We learn by Captain I.sx from New Orleans, that
the French t;ontol there liati obtained permission from the
Governor, to bind about 18,U38 French lishobitant4 from the
Island of Cuba, who had been i rilered assay by 0: Spanish
Government. Captain 1.. met is the river sewn sch•wner, and
a sloop, and outside the bar three pc-bossier'', all from St. J;t.o
de Cuba. having on board Ira) French passengers. A ship
was to fallow with 50upassengera."•

Besides what we have before noticed with re-
gard to the Non-Intercourse Act, the American
Papers contain a regular history of the proceedings
in Congress. In the House of Rept esentatives, on,
the 9th June, Air. Nilson, on the part of the
Committee to which was reterreil• the HeseWinn
Math(' to disbanding the military forces raised
under the Laws of April Bth, IttbB., reported the
