removing the preiudices of our brethren a.

between the two nations, united as well IN

10 pive such an account of it, as may at
once extend its sale and dlfuse its sentl-
ments.
The name Of Mr.. Walsh, an American
gentleman connected with the legation from
his own government. to that of France, has
been SO extensively whispered, as the au-
thor of this pamphlet, that we presume
there can be no improperly in mentioning
it. The form adopted is that OF letter,
and the person addressed is said to be ' a
gentleman who enjoys the highest reputa-
. ton as statesman and an author, both in
Europe and America. 1t was published at
Philadelphia last December. The author
tells us, and there is strong evidence to
confirm the truth and excuse the tone OF his
asser,ions-that
-: The sketch which he has drawn of the
French finances, is collected from original
documents, of unquestionable authority, and
together with many of the topics in relation
10 the state Of England, upon which he has
merely touched, forms but the outline Of
much larger work which he now has in
state of forwardness. inthe publication OF
these pages, he derives no-small confidence
from the habtual attention which he has,
given to political studies, and from the fire.
quens intercourse which he enjoyed, during
aong residence abroad, with many Of the
most enlightened statesmen or Europe
These advantages greatly facilitated the at
tanmene Of correct information, and in the
opinion of those particularly who are &C
quainted with the extent OF the last, cannot
fail 10 add weight to his theory, & 70 stamp
character of peculiar authenticity on the
facts which he has occasion to introduce>Ia
the progress of this enquiry" p. ".
The number of subjects discussed, and
the want of regular connections between the
various discussions, renders it difficult to
give satisfactory analysis OF the work -
The authors leading propositions however,
are distinctly stated in the outset; and

,Tke Reviewer then proceeds to quote
passages from the letter, which, as the re-
marks are short, need not be here repub.
lished, We rather recommend to our read
ers, (the whole having been republished by
Mallory and Co. in cheap ed'tion) to read
the entire letter, as there is not page in
it, which does not contain very useful To-
formation.

UIXiam CobbeH continues to publish his
Political Register, in which he fires many a
home shot at the ministry and their adher-
rents, from what the English wits call his
Stone Battery"-Newgale. He has adj
dressed series Of letters to the tradesmen
and farmers in and near Salisbury, on the
report OF the bullion cOmmitlee, headed Pa
per asainss Goid-in which he applies his
causticks to every fibre OF that deadly cancer,
the enormous debt and oyergrown paper cur :
rency of England.
On the perusal Of bis letters and late files
of London papers, it appears, that the people
Of England are engaged in dispute not
much unlike that which formerly occupied
much of the attention of our fn.ncicrs and
men Of business, on the relative merit of Bos-
ton and country bank paper. One party
maintain, that the bills of the bank of Eng
land ought to make the circulating paper
medium Of the nation, and decry the paper
OF this country bankers as assignats, as piic
ros1, &c &c. Cobbett and others insist. that,
bad as is the credit of their country paper, it
rests on a more solid foundations than the
bills OF the bank of England, which the bull
lion committee have reported, cannot possi-
bly, be paid in specie during the war, nor even
in Two years after the comn enccmen, of
peace, should that take place IN u short lime
Cobbett has formally denounced Piu's won
deriui fiscal system, Of which he says, he
whs once the advocate, but sees by sad ex-
perience its ial,acy, and indirectly compi-
mcnts the method our government have a.
dopIed Of distinguishing the national debt by
actual paymen, = hos'or Patriot.

National LIE Ltgisiasuvt.-Ihe United States
Congress commence theii sitting on Monday
next The business 10 be transacted, will be
important and momentous. 1t will be in their
power TO give tone TO the energies of the
nation, or by indeeision TO relax every fibre
OF manly excrtion. In relation TO our foreign
atfairs, the course, from, recent circum stances,
appears clear and explicit. Should &. Britain
refuse 10 abanaoD her restrictions, after the
example set by France, a decided stand ought
10 be taken against her. In the event Of her
rendering resistance on our part necessaiy,b
refusing 10 repeal the Orders, Biockades, SC.
none Dat parulzsn Of England, an enemy to
the Interests oil he Unned States, will have
the hardihood and folly to say that she ought
not To be opposed. Can the rcbellious voice
OF such men influence the proceedings Of our
gove nment /! Can the feeble Glamour of a
handful Of British partizans, have any weight
on the councils OF the nation We believe
not and Cannot but hope, that from former
events and present circumstances, Congress
will now act with that decision so in,espensa-
bic to the welfare of the nation. Let their
deliberations be governed by frmness, and
the American People will firmly supper,
them.

Na'ehez, Stht. 26, 1910.
At late hour last night, we received the
suhIoined extract OF letter, which we loss
no time in laying before our readers. From
this ii will he seen that the Florida CoDven-
ton have been compelled to have recourse to
military force, and that the fort of Baton
Rouge and Governour Delassus is in the pow.
er OF the patriots. We are informed that
few days since the Convention received intel
ligence that they were betrayed, and that
Gov. folch had galley at Galvestown, in
which he meant to embark the Convention
for Pensacola, aud that he himself was in the
Eastern part of the Province alarming, and
sewing dissentioD among the people.-In
this dilemma, prompt andvigorous measures
became absolutely necessary, and the result
is here related.
Pinkneviie, Sehf. as, 1910.
We have received information directly
from Baton Rouge, that on Saturday night
about so men. under the command of Gen
Thomas, entered the fort of Baton. Rouge.
Young Grand Pre- who commanded, gallan-
try attempted TO defend it, and received Sc
we're wound in his neck with broad sword -
One OF the guard fired on the assailants and
was immediately shot down with pistol by one
OF Capt. Johnson's dragoons--another Of the
Spanish guard was wouDded-no damage re-
ceived by the troops of the Convention. H..v-
ing quieted every thing in the fo-t, they proce-
ded to the house Of His Excclency, dragged
him out, carried him to the fort, with two
boxes of money found in his room, and loaded
him with irons-but not without having to
knock him down with the but, end ofa musket
The Convention had about 2sO men in The
place when the messenger left it, and every
thing was quiet"

MISCELLANY


TO every argument against the omnipo-
tcuce uf commerce, the ready reply is, [" the
habits of our people are SO commercial and
50 fixed, that nothing can charge or control
them" But the two great cohtending pow
crs have changed and controlled these habits.
The embargo and noB-inlercourse changed
end controlled them and manufactures will
soon have absolute control of their habits.
! Commerce has been said to be the hand
maid Of agriculture. If this we're the case,
the hcndmaid ought to mind her mistress and
not be gadding abroad so mueh. 1t COM

have been employed in it too many risks
