It is with the deepest regret we observe the fol.
lowing paragraph in the Kentucky Gat'effe) (pr /IN
44th ult.:— -
" Dr. Bedford (a physician of Nashville) states, In-
a publi address to General Coffee, that this luervalp.
ing sevf, *ty of disease threatens the existence of- are
distingu. 'OW Major-General Jackson." -
The debasement of France is complete. The fol.
lowing intelligence, brought us by the Eastern Mail,
since the preceding was put In type, deseribeir the
lamentable catastrophe. The downf.l of Fiance,•
the triumph of the triple alliance of Kings, Filet,
and Nobles, not merely over France, but all As •
countries of Europe.
VERY LATE FROM FRANCE. _ •
66 The brig Ludlow, Captain Mudge, in St &Ye
from Boordecax, has arrived at Boston with a cargo•
of brandy and wine. Paris had capitulated, and tihe
Allies were to enter it on the sth of July.
" Two French frigates were at Rochefort ready
to convey Bonaparte out of France. The embargo
which was laid on the French %east watt_ to Alma
Bonaparte'. Sticape. Soon after sailing, Capt. Mudge,
t was boarded by a Bnitiph frigate, who demanded if;
1 Bonaparte was on board? He, like Lucien, may
sail for the United States; bat will, probably be,
like him, also captured and carried to England.—
TMs, however, is unimportant; the greatest indivi.
dual is nothing in comparison of a nation."
By the extract of a letter from Liverpool we per.
ceive. that the Government of Great Britain -glee to
the cotton and shipping of the Portuguese domioions
a decided preference, to American cotton and Ame.
rican shipping. The object can easily be perceived ;
it is to injure the grand staple of South Carolina,i
Georgia, and Louisiania, and to lessen the value of
that important branch of our commerce—the carry.
log trade. Let the Eastern folks look to it: 'ds
those who mostly suffer. Why Portugal shoold be
more a favourite with Great Britain than the United
States, or why she should particularly encourage the
growth. of Brazil cotton, can only be answered by a
retrospect of every act of Britain which relates to
I the (Jolted States.
The•iticalculable and rapid advance of the Republic
towards Radium! importance; the intelligence and ;
neerpriltiit our citizens, are regarded by Britain,
*Oh jealousy end dread. It is the stride of a giant, l'
and she leers to be crushed under his footsteps. Let I
the wisdom of our Government engage seriously In'
this affair; we have ample means of passing counter.
trailing duties.' We must compel Britain to be just,
by striking at her interests. Stibmission to such in.,
justice should render it preferable to ship in British I
I bottoms with the duty, than even to ship in our own •
vessels gratis. No, we must oppose this sweeping ;
and exclusive policy, the offspring of. hatred aid of
fear. We are moving in a higher sphere, aid the
, magnitude of our orb will soon enable .is to inter. ,
1 cept the rays of glory, and to cast-every malignant.;
1 planet into eclipse.—(soufhero Reporter.) •
