On TIE 'npolicy Of E.glish and French Restrictions
on kyadc.
There can be no doubt but that both Great
Britain and France have acted with the utmost
inpollcy in the restrictions imposed by them
se'erally on commerce. A nation so ascend.
ant as Britain in naval strength, in manufac.
lures and commerce, would have best advanced
her interests by removing every shackle to the
freedom OF trade. In this way the greatest de-
mahd wo1ld have been created for her goods
ana ships, which would, in all human probabi.
NY nave been increased by the activity of our
competition. Our habits as well as ambition
maae Us SO decidedly an agricultural nation.
'hat may be assumed as certain, that we
shonlo ior century at least have priscjpally
employed. our resources in that occupation, but
lot me trammels unjustly imposed upon 70
reign nat'ons IN consequence of which we
shou'a nave raised larger surplus of raw ma
.er'ais ana consumed larger portion of Brit
ISM manufactures. Let us dwell for few mi
nuies on TINS topic, and estimate the probable
gam OF ". Britain by an adherence to such
pohcy. In the year l79O there we're imported
into and consumed in the u. S. foreipn com.
mco't'es 70 the amount of sixteen millions of
dohars. In the year 800 the amount rose to
thir'y-iour millions; since this period the in
crease has risen in an equal ratio. From these
data 1t might, perhaps, be safe to conclude that
the quantity OF foreign goods consumed in the
y. D. would double in every ten years. which
would IN twenty years produce fourfold con-
SUMPTION. AS, however, our consumption in
great measure depends on our ability. and az
our ability has been very much increased by
the peculiar state of Europe, which during the
last sixteen years has considerably augmented
!he demand for our raw materials, we shall oI,-
~ assume the duplication of the consumption
OF foreign goods in twenty years or the ag-
greeate OF foreign goods consumed we know
,ha' more than half come from England and
her dependencies We shall in our estimate
take them at only one half The following

The present character of the people OF
the United States Of America, as the only
independent civilized nation oil this quarter
Of the world, is pesuliarly important and in
teresting. The northern par, of the Ame-
rican continent which they inhab,, is much
larger than all Europe---than all Christen-
dom--than all the other parts of the civiliz-
ed world. Their dominions are united in
one Connected body, c, mining the glowing
region of the cane with those, where the RI
gor Of the north forbids vegetation through
half the year. e.
Their inland waters invite them to an
carly familiarity with the marine cradles,
train them as IN their primary nautical
schools, and draw many of them on to NEE,
all the changes fthc inconstaot ocear. The
facilities Of modern navigation, acquired by
habit and improved by all the relative arts,
have established the most intimate connex.
ion between US, the younger children of CT
vii pollty, and all the people of the old
world.
Their woods and forests draw many of
the United Americans to the active chase,
armed often against beasts of prey, teach

the fores, and the morass-laborious though

agrlculsurest is always an improver. The
most antient families, and those of the first
intelligence, fortune and standing, as well
as foreign emigranls of the latest years, are
engaged u the settlement aud improvement
of con.iguousEor adjacent forests. Where
lately every production of nature Aourished
in wilderness, there now the garden, the
meadow, and the forest smile. This stea.
dy and extensive progress of ameliora.ing
industry and skill, affects the mind, the bo-

necessary rural improvements offer to all
the Americans a prudent and ganful en-
ployment for surplus income, producing Of

of the first corps commanded by gen. Belle,
parde, the only one which had not fought
and which was still entire, and Of the
wrecks of the 2d, the Sd, the 4th, the 5th
and the 9th corps, which had been crushed
in the preceding battles. Ifthcse corps had
lost nothing and had been united such as
they were at the commencement Of the cam
paign, they would have formed 100000
men. The ensmy had no more than 90, 1000
men, thus we see how enormous are the
losses which he had experienced.
When the archduke John took the field,
his army consisted Of the 9th and 9th corps,
forming 10000 men. AT Raab it consiste d
of $4,000 men. Its loss would then have
been $4,000 men. Ant in these $4,000
men were comprised 1000 Hungarians of
the insurrection. Its loss, therefore, was
really Of As 900 men.
The archduke Ferdinand had entered
Warsaw with the 9TH corps forming 10000
men. Il is reduced to 25 900. Its loss Is,
therefore, of $1,000 men. fa2e.
We see how these different calculations
support and verify each other. SIX
The viceroy beat at Raab Sc, 600 men with
$4,000 Frenchmen.
At Essling 10000 faen were beaten and
kept in check by 10000 Frrnehmsn, who
would have completely routed and destroy,
ed them, had it not been for the event o.
bridges, which produced the want OF am
nunliion.
The great efforts of Austria have been
the result of the paper currency, and OF the
resolution which the Austrian government
took 10 risk all. In the danger OF bank
ruptcy which might have brought Oh re-
volution, they preferred adding 500 millions
to the mass Of their paper currency, and to
make last effort to eetit discounted by
Germany, Italy and Poland. 1t is very
probable that this reason had more influence
than any other upon their determination.
Not single French regiment has been
drawn from Spain, except the imperial
guards.
Gen. count Lauriston continues the siege
of Raab with the greatest activity. The CT
ty has been already burning for "a hours,
and that army which gained at Essl1ng SO
