CEUTA.--The complete command
OF the Straits. and the additional secu-
rity of Gibraltar, by possessing means
of victualling it at pleasure, are not
the only advantages which England
will derive from the occupation of
Ceuta. This city is situated within
100 miles of Fee, the second city, and
great emporium ofithe trade Of the EN-.
pire of Morocco. The distance is
triliing in country where trade is car
ried on by means of caravans, and
when the trader who, in the hope Of
gain, has braved all the dangers of the
desert, and has already travelled seve-
raj thousand miles, is sure of finding
a ready market. OF this advantage
the Spaniards could never avail them
selves, on account Of their superstiti..
Gus and political animosities against
the Moors their want of trading CAPT.
tails, and the nature of their govern.
-ment, by which even retail inland trade
was shackird IN "a manner almost a.
mounting to prohibition. But the Bril-
fish trader will have none of these OBJ
stacles TO dread and we are happy to
see that conciliatory measures have
been already adopted with success.

The curse OF this country is verbss-
ity of argument---or, more strictly
speaking, verbosity of consense. E.
very thing is to be done upon paper.
We have paper politicians, paper states
men, paper-armies, and all our acts
are upon paper We seem to rejoice
in the wrongs which are heaped upon
us, because they give US the best of
the argument; we glory in our politi-
cal honesty merely because, (whilst
honest as we are, we get kicked, } it
enables our Legislators to make pathet-
ic speeches /; and the murders of the
Chesapeake seem not to have been
unweicome, inasmuch as they enable
the scribblers prettily to turn period.
The day is coming when the people of
this country will dearly pay for all this
tick-nickery ;--.-when our wrangling
politicians will discover that expert
ence is the only true guide in affairs
OF State; and that acts, and not words
alone, are the instruments of the most
successful negotiation.

Ex'rael OF a private Letter from France.
"Bonaparte is SO given to passion, that
at times he appears mad, and there is no
doubt that he will at last turn really mad
In his late journey to Antwerp, he cum
mitted himself in such a way, that sta
tute Of lunacy would have been taken out
against any other person. When the de.
pntation OF commerce AID manufactures
were introduced, he abused them in the
coarsest way, called them " Fools, they
did not know what commerce was, That
they had deceived him with their pro.
misses, but to punish them he would
build town on the other side of the RI.
YER, plant 5000 Dutch families, and give
it such important privileges, as would
ensure it to become more famous than
Tyre and Carthage" He stopped the
Archbishop of Mecklin, who went to
compliment him at the head Of the cler.
gy. and said 10 him, in great passion,
" how dsrs, he appear before him with
such false language, that he knew their
hearts, and that they refused to pray for
his marriage with Louisa. that If they
had their deserts, they ought to have
stone tied 10 their necks, and be thrown
into the Schelds, but that it it were done
there we're dussi betes as TO think that
they died martyrs" The above, how
ever s;faoge, may be relied on.
. I ne situation Of Holland is most la
menta5le, see nothing bot bankruptcy.
I" The emperor scarcely ever takes the
advice or opinion Of his ministers. Like
Mahomst he considers every thing that
comes into his head Is inspiration. The
