LONDON, January 9.
On thursday morning several mer-
chants and brokers waited on the chan
celior OF the exchequer, to request that
ne would prevail on the admiralty to di-
rect our cruizers, after having examined
neutrals, not to write the word searched
upon their papers, as, according to the
french DEGREES, that act was sufficient
evidence Tor their condemnation on ar
rlving at any port under the controul of
France. The chancellor of the exche-
quer, we understand, observed that no
such direction should be given by the
admiralty, as government had deter
mined not to relax any of the measures
adopted in retaliation of Bonaparte's
DEGREES.
Great apprehensions have lately been
entertained for the safety of Lord Hut
Crimson; and it is now stated, that his
iordship, together with his brother and
col. EuStace, were taken on board a
packet, and carried into Norway, by a
Danish vessel.
a HG amount VI DllIlSn manutd CtureS
exported annually to the United States,
IS estimated TO exceed ten m lions ster
Ting and the demand has been for some
Sim rapidly increasing, to the great adj
vantage OF our manufacturers.
This increasing demand proceeds from
the following causes The growing
population and wealth Of the United
States, creating greatly increased con
sumption, which necessarily requires an
adequate supply; and from the CONNER
cial enterprise Of the people of that
country, constantly discovering new and
remote markets for our manufactures,
Imported by them for expectation, and
which thus find their way into distant
channels for consumption, where they
were before unknown, and also into the
colonies of the enemy, to which this
country, as bclligerent, has not access.
1t IS estimated, chat sum exceeding
twelve millions sterling, is now owing
from individuals in the United States to
merchants and manufacturers Of the u

1hls account we submit to the scsious
consideration of our readers, and reg
them to observe what quantity Of Iaw
material is furnished by America, for
one OF the most important branches of
our manufactures. What then must be
the consequence, should the voice OF our
desperate politicians succeed in,prompt
ing us into war with the United
states 1t IS quite preposterous to talk
OF the capacity of the Brazis to afford
any thing ike a substitute for even half
the amount Of the cotton we receive
from America. Whence then is this
supply to be obtained ? 1t may be said.
that America must be distressed if de-
prIyed of our market for her cotton out
even granting that, what is to become Of
the immense number OF our population
employed in the different departments
OF the cotton trade, should the A meri-
can cotton be excluded from our mar
ket-and what indeed is to become OF
that and several other articles Of our
manufacture, should we be deprived OF
the American demand We shall leave
these points TO the reflection OF the
public, with the addition of this fact.
that Notwithstanding the aggravated ca
iamlties of war, and the severe restric-
tons OF commerce belonging to the last
year, yet the import Of cotton from A
merica, and the manufacture of that ar
ucle IN this country, far exceeded that
of 1896.

STATE OF SPAIN.
IMPoLIcY OF xNcorRAGIxG AN INsUt-
lection.

KECTIoN.
We concluded our last article upon this
subject, by observing that the monarchy of
spain, in the family of the Bourbons, was
now eXtinguished. The king, who is at length
IN the custody of his enemy, has been com
PEELED to sign his abdicaton---and what
must have been more accutely painful and
degrading; to act the part of disloyal Pan
dar to his own people ; to dcbauch them
from their allegiance to his own legitimate
sccptre.
We are far from being DESTROYS to fan the
flames OF civil instruction in that unhappy
country. The enemy is too powerful for
spain, and the mass of the people have been
too long in a lethargy. An instruction, it is
to be feared, would produce much bloodshed
and little good: Napoleon would fight one
part ofthe country against the other part, &
profit by the exhaustion of both He wonld
perhaps net object to the pretext Of evacua-
ting the blood of Spain through the veins of
the brdvest and most loyal of her subjects
lie might prefer TO skin over the od-bleod-
ed hypocrisy of his acquisition by something
OF the splendor, and seeming desert Of a con-
quest. 1t would be, perhaps in his estimate
OH, a better apology to his conscience and to
the world at large, that he had won her by
arms instead OF tricks.

thus appears, that .hc difference between

revive religious animosties, this growing

may appear at first blush almost incredible
but it is in fact nothing more than the natu

man mind, an effect which the late able dis

Some Protestant landed proprietors and in
habitants of Queens county, ireland. at
whose head appear Lord Stanhope and De
