Europe prevented by war: were ENGLAND to
make peace with Russia, this would indeed
have an effectupon our trade with Portugal,
fer then she would draw licr supplies from
the Baltic in preference to here, if it we're
opiy 40 strengthen her commercial relations
With the northern emperor; but till that G.
ytnt kes place, it is safe to calculate we
VIII remain the granary OF England. AS to
her prohibition of our imports TO the three
kEtgdoms, she may do that with consent of
both parties, for she has more OF our exports
there already than she wants, consequently
there is no longer any Involvement for US to
carry them. "If you send any more to6ac-
Goes, s,qthout remittances to ray their. FREIGHT
and erhenccs, GYc 7cW nor receive them"
says an extract of letter from merchant
N England and many of those who have
that article in store there, would be glad to
give it to their agent to Fay the e4pences on
1t; the same may be said, as to the safe of
cottons, for there are but little manufacture
ing, of course but little demand for the thous-
ands OF bales lying without a market grain
is the only article she might want of our ex-
ports, for her home consumption, but gene
rally she raises enough for internal use, tho
the seasons are uncertain there, and all de-
ponds on them, should necessity require her
relaxation, necessity will be her law.
The rapid and generalretreato fthe Frepch
armies from Portugal appears now certain,
and this, consequence arises from the want
OF supplies and adequate rcinforcements of
men, and these, more than any other facts,
make us believe that war with Russia will be
prosecuted by France, and that the 100000
men said to be collected in France is more
intNded for march through Poland than
Boyonne'; however, when they are raised
thcy Will answer either purpose. Bona
pare Ycech to the merchants has certain

generous and powerful ally" but half face
glance at something like duplicity of conduct
and breach OF faith. The sailing of an ar
mament from England for the Baltic, has
some connection with the dispute, whether
through concert with Russia, or to take adj
vantage of any circumstance that might a.
rise-and this has been a difference, we
think OF long standing, for we recollect the
number of expresses, and their urgency,
that passed between the courts of Russia
and France, and 1t has been long since the
armies in Spain and Portugal were the OBJ
jects of Bonaparte's particular care, proba-
bly, from a superstition that his resources
would be wanting elsewhere his armies of
those countries will probably concentrate
about Madrid, and keep open communica-
ton with France, should he have given over,
Jo'' me present, any further attempt at con-
guest; we say, at Present, because we do not
think he will ever abandon his design till he
has succeeded, or his means are exhausted
he knows well that it would be too danger
GUS step, for the continuance of his power
it would be an acknowledgment that he was
not invincible; it would spread though Eu-
rope that he was beaten by shepherds and
men undisciplined in the trade of war. and
those powers who had grievances or uan+ad
sovereignty, would try their strength, and to
try the strength of a people, is to learn them
now to conquer costly experiment for ty-
rants.
