From the soar manner in which the Cocain speaks
of the French Government, and especially from what ft
sayiabout the treatment of Mr.Bownixe,we may bemire;
that the Bocanoxe IlaIV been chewing their !wig teeth%
to oar pretty people. The Borascars might, sometime
ago, have skinned Mr. Bowaixe, or any other English
wan, alive, and stuffed his skin with straw, isithout DA
NIEL STRWART saying one single word in disapprobation
of their conduct. A Treasury newspaper, like Swirr's
new light, is a mere /awl, and makes any noise that is
put into it by'the spirit from beneath. Most likely the
paragraph was seat to STUART ready writtem—Hemenow-
ever, it will be delightful to see our pretty gentl
engaged in a wrangle with the Knights of the Holy

the state of our means of going to war. In the paper-

oat know that they do ; but they may; and that may
restrain them a little. They must have been pretty for-

have carried it with a high band as far as tasted to
England ; anti that If they be restrained far the present.,
they will not be long restrained.

The ignorance of the British Cabinet, in all matters
that concern the British interests its relation to Foreiga
States, has genersEy been a sebject of great surprise to
both Englishmen and; Foreigner'. Yet, this ignorance
naturally grows out of the Borough raongering system
of Government, or the system of governing Cy correp
iron. A prime minister, or any man who takes
an active part in the government, has quite enough to do
in governing Parliament, males labouring to inaueoce
poblic opinion. Ts be en ablW Financier, inslsol, was
deemed a necessary quality in tbe character of an able
Minister. But that ies part of the Boroughniongering
system ; for it was always • difficult office to extract the
largest possible sem, from the Peor&s's earnings, in
order to meet the rapacious Tax-Eaters. In the two
others, of Fiaaseier. and Lcader-Generalof the Howse of
Commons, Mr. PITT eminently excelled. Perhaps, no
man ever equalled him in those great properties of a
STATES:RAYON they are called in this country. Bat.
although it may appear bold to say so, his knowledge
wan confined to what was necessary to the two characters
we have named. He knew nothing of our foreign

years. lie knew nothing of that general lime of policy

nothing in him but knowledge derived from those vile

ST. BaELTHoLOMEureir. OCT. 11.—The area:ration of the
independence of Porto Rico has occasioned considerable
anxiety here, among oar planters. from the circumstance
of its operating tuncli among the bhck people, and af-
fording them an additional playe of reface. We Lee,
already felt the evil effects of the emancipation of slaves
at St. Domingo, in the numerous attempts made by
them to have our islands, by seizing the craft, in which
several have been socconful. The body of adventurers,
'who have elected themselves as declarers of the inde-
pendence of Porto Rico. consist of 14 few desperate thm
racters of no property, headed by a man who is very
little better, and who has expended his all in equipping
a couple of vessels with the hope of obtaining consider-
able booty, with which to repay themselves ; and who
are really no %eller than pirates. who, under the pie-
fence of assisting the South Americans, will plunder
both friends and enemies.;
