LONDON:
WEDIPMAT,

There is an unusual stillness 1 the political et_
mosphere at this moment, which necessarily resin&
°sof what may by expected ere long. Not Spin the
commercial horizon. The repossession of Cushaven
tusk expulsion of the French from Hamhurgh, has
ivivified the hopes of a renewed and vigorous trade
through that vast entrepot of German conaemption.
lOur countrymen, however, must not consider all
' the ground over which the Russians are spreading
themselves, as galloping ground. The tide itself
brings oar allies far beyond.the point they expected.
to Wein; and the very weight of water itself, by a
kind of re-action after agglomeration, *ill find its
level again. The wind, which for a long time
blows north, must, by the law of nature, return
southerly. Our hopes of Standing firm, somewhere'
k near where we are, would be stronger, if Dantzic
i were in other hands than those of the French. But
1 our Readers will recollect what we said of it, when
i all our competitors pronounced its fall. No, we
undertake to say, that BONAPARTE counts on it,
and has fixed it in his plan as the appuye for flank.
ing the left of his next Grand Army : and this it
may be made while his right moves for 500 miles
Itogether. We do cot like his profound silence on all
this. He has leant to be more taciturn since Lord
WRITWOUTH so pointedly and openly satirized his
loquacity. We would rather hear him bluster,
vaunt, and threaten : that is the least injurious way
lof exhausting his power sans malice. We were but
too right in our conjectures of the disposition of the
' Court of Denmark. Without ample compensation i
for the cruel mischiefs we have done that Power,
we never shall bring it cordially to aid our
views. Ever since the famous Manifesto ,of its in- i
trepid and wise Statesman, the Count BERNSTOFPt it II
has been of the same opinion with respect to the,
measures of the British Cabinet. The haughty Mi-
nister,
whose monument is now exhibiting at Guild-
hall, and whose conduct is boastingly imitated by
the creatures who have wriggled themselves into the
same power, destroyed for ever the long-existing
friendship between Great Britainand Denmark. He '
tell the Danes that if they did not take up urns with
him against the French, he should employ his arms
against them ! In vain did that philosopher argue
that a sovereign state had a right to remain neutral,
in a war concerning which its subjects took no inte-
rest whatever. No; that insolent, sour-minded man
would act, by surrounding States, as a Lord Lieu.
tenant of a County would by its neighbouring in-
habitants in calling out the posse comitatus
It is laughable to observe the importance given by the
time-serving part of our Press to the change in the
name of a Continental Newspaper ! All is right now,
and must remain so (say the venal scribblers), for the ,
Journal du Department des Douches de l'Elbe is no'
longer to called, but has again assumed that of the
ilumburgh Corrcspondenten. We will not say "oh
ye of little faith," but "oh ye of silly faith !" As,
much is made of this Wiling circumstance, as
though the REGENT of Great Britain had de-
clared, that, in reviewing the effects of the system
which his father's .Ministers have pursued for
near half a century, he was convinced that it had
impaired the strength and exhausted the wealth
of his kingdoms, and that be was determined
to change such system, and its abbettors together,
immediately. A declaration like this might, indeed,
be made the subject of exultation; bat a political
and commercial newspaper, adopting a new title in
the manner of the foregoing, is no more worthy of
notice (except as a proof that the town where print-
[ed is actually at the moment us new bands) than
wonld'be the alteration in the tone of the Post or
Courier towards our men in power, from the instant
Goy cased to be in power.

The examinations or such men as W.tattew Hssr•
IWO and Lord TEIGNMOUTH before a Committee of
the House of Commons, cannot bet gine weight to
whatever may be the decision of Parliament, with
respect to the question of laying open the Trade to In-
dia. We shall, therefore, probably in our neat, make
some remarks upon the effects of, their evidence.
The eyes and the ears of the commercial world are
open to the solution of this great problem. We
must, however, premise, that these great men wish
particularly well to a Company of Merchants, from
whose pursuits they have acquired great wealth, and
from whom they hare still much to receive.

' Yesterday Viscount Siowoeru had an audience
of the Pourer REGENT, at Carlton-house.
Yesterday the Dukes of CumBERLAND and CAS.
swung visited the Puma REGENT.
Colonel QUium, of the 10th Dragoons, is ex:
pected to leave town in a few days for Hanover.
Tim Ducnrss oe Baunswica.—.The state coffin
was finished at FRANCS and BANTING9S, Pall-mall,
on Monday night, and removed to the house in
Hanover-square, where the corpse in the leaden
coffin was put into it. Some tickets were issued yes-
terday morning, to allow a few select personages to
view it, but this was stopped in consequence of the
public becoming clamorous for admittauce.
Towms-
Etsn, the Police Officer, was sent for to cher the
people away from the door.
The Earl of Mona has a right to complain of
Wait coolness of his friends towards a champion
wounded in their service, if they.have withheld from
the public the manifest of his innocence. Could
neither of the Bloody Hands who ha►e recently stood
forward in defence of libelled Royalty, have re•
ceived instructions to vindicate a brother Knight ?
Gen. STUART, who was under orders for Portugal,
and had sent his baggege to Portsmouth to be em-
barked there, has lately received orders to proceed
to the North of Germany.
A letter from Hamburgh says, that 15,000 Swedes
have actually lauded in Pomerania—(This we do not
believe.) That in Hanover all are eager for a British.
General; and that in Bavaria eery aerioua disturb•
ances have broken out against the Goverment.—
Tee satisfaction and enthusiasm of the people el
Hamburgh, in all these accounts, public and privates
are depicted as incapable of being excelled.
The circumstance of the venerable Major CART.
watorr being hustled and robbed in Rt. Martin's.
lane the other dsy, being doubted and even dented
by some, the following extract will verify the fact:
" It is, my friend, true that I was robbed of my
watch, but without ether injury. It was lost in a
good cause; as I was upon duty, going to a meeting
of the Union for Parliamentary Reform according to
the Constitution. It was a lime-piece, which cost me
forty guineas, exclusive of a heavy gold chain ; but
the greatest regret I felt, was for the loss of a seal
which had belonged to my godfather, Lord Tea-
CONNEL, who, when a Member of the House of
Gammons, about, seventy years ago, then said,
Nothing but a miracle could mend them.'—Years,
truly,
" *March IL
