—••-BONAPARTY does not liiese *holly indifferent
to the personal danger we have alluded to, as we ob.
• ' genre, that among the volunteers who offer on the
present occasion, great numbers desire to be enrolled
in his guard. It seems to us not unlikely that he
will chiefly trust to these, as he did at Marengo, and
we may hear, if they should be 'really attached to his
interest and welfare, as the former were, when he I
was Consul, that they may, in like manner, desire
and entreat him to retire from the personal danger.
It is difficult in what light to construe his hints of
. the possibility of barbarous hordes (meaning the Cos-
Mkt) reaching Paris, for the united objects of plunder
and revenge." Speaking in the dramatic sense, no loan
- is better acquainted with stage-effect than our otity
enemy. His apostrophising so pathetically on the
condition of the &mess and the young Kltto In that
case, could not, he.vas sure, be lost upon the sett-
. dtive Parisians. If the Orator can touch them in a
certain point, he gains them to all intents and pur-
• poles': and as foreigners have often been the best
historians of countries they have little more than
visited, so foreigners seem most successful in playing
upon the senses of the French. In this light we view
• the Piogiarnation of M ACDONALD, issued from Macs-
• tricht,„ in the midst of powerful enemies, as it should
seem. The language from the mouth of that veteran
warrior, whose first motive for drawing'his sword,
was the cause and love of liberty, will, we conceive,
. produce its intended effect, and will, in comparison
with that of Marshal BLUCIIER to the same people, et-

irrecoverably lose that eminent attitude they had just

lation respecting the relative value of doubloons,
dollars, silver and gold, at different periods, and the
course of exchange with England, and concludes by
assuming, that an alteration to the extent of 30 per
cent. has taken place in the relative value a the cit..
culating medium of Jamaica, and of that of Great
Britain—that is, that the planters receive a premium
to that amount on bills for hard cub, because they
are discharged in England in a medium more valu-
able than that which had been given for them, and
Which is consequently a substantial addition to the
price of West India produce in England.
It is likewise asserted, that. though articles sup-
plied from Great Britain have not actually advanced
in price ; yet, from the effects of the change in the
circulating medium of that country, every man who
compares his invoice with those of former times,
must see that he is charged 30 per cent. beyond what
was formerly the case ; or, in fact, an enhancement
to the whole price,. duty and mercantile charges ex-
cepted.
From the shone outline of the grievances, as set
forth by the Committee, under which the Colonists
labour, it is too evident, that though their language
is respectful and moderate, yet their dissatisfaction is

The late proceedings of the House of Assembly of
Jamaic'', as inserted in the qTATESNIAN on the 27th
*ad 2911 t instant, appear to us so interesting to the
Commercial concerns of the Empire, that we take
this opportunity of making some further remarks
'upon them.
The vast and complicated political, agricultural,
lan ufactering, monopolizing, and colonial systems
of this country, empire no ordinary capacity to re-
,.
concile their rsiious, end, in some respects, jarring
interests, and to promote their mutually beneficial
,operations for the general good. Thus we have
.seen in-our own day, that consulting the claims of
humanity by the abolition of the Slave Trade did
trot meet with complacent feelings of acquiescence
on the part of the West India planter and the African
merchant—the substitute of sugar in the place of
grain in our distilleries, white it was intended to re-
lieve that very planter and merchant, was certainly
:viewed with an evil eye by the landlord and farmer
.r-and the monopoly of the East India Company has
men 4 long time reprobated as an infringement upon
the geseral mercantile rights, inimical to the adven-
etaroas spirit, and detrimental to the interests of the
manufacterar and merchant. While, howrrer, the
latter are to hoes a considerable participation in the
trade to the East, with the exception of that to
Onina, we,find, 4rometw proceedings of the house
of Amembly of Jamaica, that the measure is
viewed with jealomsyland an alarm, prophetic of the
most serious import to the colonial interests of the
West Indies, without a corresponding relaxation in
*ha restrictions upon their agriculture and commerce;.
stnd it appears that ithey have given instructions to
Aibeir agent in London to press this upon the serious
attention of Government. Thh transpires from the

ket will, no
but should the war with America be protracted, and
the India trade be thrown open, which no doubt it
will, most of the evils which they at present sager
are likely to be protracted and encransed, which may
lend to eventual consequences, much to be deprecated
