FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER %, 1926.


A vessel has arrived at New-York from Lii
verpool, which port she left on the l4th ultimo,
but brings papers no later than the 10th. Lon
don papers are to the 18th ultimo letter
from Paris states that all the Allied Powers
have given their sanction to the new Portu-
guese Constitution; and that they have notified
the Spanish Government not to interfere in the
affairs of Portugal. In Spain, the Liberals and
.A5solutists are said to have come TO blows near
Saragossa, but it was not known, at the last &C
counts, which party had triumpheo. copi-
Gus summary of items, though not very interest
ing, are inserted in another part of this paper.
We refer the reader to the opposite page for
well-written political let,er-headed "Virgi-
MIA Politics" and taken from the Providence
Literary Cadet.
Mr. Clay arrived at Washington, on Tuesday
evening last The Journal of Yesterday states
that his health is much improved.
The Philadelphia Sentinel supposes it to be
LOUIS and not JOSEPH BoNAPARTE, who has
made application to be allowed to reside in
Holland.
A newspaper political controversy has for
some time been going on between the Editor Of
the Literary Cadet, published at Providence, R.
|. and John Holmes, the U. S Senator of Maine.
Mr.. Holmes has Withdrawn from the contest,
on the ground, he says, that the Editor is not a
gentleman. The Editor, in retaliation, brings the
same charge against the Senator, and publishes
the following letter, written few days before
the late Presidential Election, in support of the
charge
"JVashington, 2lst January; 1895.
"DEAR SlR-You will see hit in the Wash
ingtou Gazette Of this day. which | think will
meet your views; and probably require republl-
cation.

can be their uierior objects? IS the Governor

Maine. You will have seen by publication In

towards me. If their schemes in our county
can be defeated, it will be a another republican
triumph. If the Courts are at Kennebunk, te-
deralism will emana,e from their head quarters,
and the republican party is down 1t is OF as
much importance to us, as the rejection OF VIM
gate and Ames was to you Do write or speak
10 some of our confidential friends, and give
them this view of the subject.
"IVish our prospects here acre better. Clay, it
is feared, intends to SO over 10 Adams! But
cannot believe that he would thus betray his
friends, and debase himself Crawford friends
seem determined to stick TO the last. If they
should have to yield, fear they would divide
between Jackson and Adams. Jackson is un-
popular in Virginia and New-York; the delega-
ton are afraid of an union Of Jackson and Gin
ton. What will be the result is extremely un-
certain l hope may be mistaken when as
sure you, that fear we shall have another
.adams administration for four gears, but Ihope
moi longer.

cations alone voting in the negative. A pro.
test was handed in by the Georgia delegation.
which was entered on the journal Of the
House. The Judiciary Bal is probably lost,
owing to disagreement between the two
Houses relative TO the arrangement of the
circuits. The House Of Representatives pre.
posed conference, which the Senate have
refused to accede to, and it is supposed the
House will adhere to the bill as originally
passed. The bill for the relief of the Sur
wing Officers of the Revolution, and the
Massachusetts Claim, have not been called
up again, and there is now little ssrobabil;tv
that either of them will be decided upon this
session. multitude of Bills, Cor the relief

an oath, that if the opposition members (lnany

abandon it, he would abandon them. and
would not support Gen. Jackson for the Pres

relative to this transaction, are from the AZ

Mr.. Randolph's threat has actually given
the Bankrupt Bill its quietus for the present
session. Alarmed at the awful consequence
OF offending so valuable an instrument Of their
reckless ambition, the rartizans Of Mr.. Cal.
houn have yielded to necessity, and moved to
lay their own bill on the table. The man
ner in which Mr.. Hayne surrendered was in
genious and specious, but the motive was SO
oontcmptibly degrading, that even Mr.. Ran
dolph himself seemed to pity him. Will such
men ever again have the effrontcry to pirate
about corruption We heard Of the arrange.

On the Effect Of tie Balance of Irnde


O" the Effect Of the Balance of Trade
Changes and em6arrassmen's in trade have
been experienced throughout the commercial
world, and, in England, they have caused gen.
eral dismay and such severe distresses, as throw
into the shade of insigniicance the light in
conyeniences which we have suffered, In
view of these facts, some have been led TO at
tribute our embarrassments to foreign causce.
entirely concur in this opinion when Il ia
stated in these general terms, though should
iIler from many who bold it in the assignment
OF these foreign causes, and, especially. from
those who deem them the sole agents in the
case. There are circumstances in our domes-
tic condition, which are, Of themselves, stuff.
Gent to produce partial evils, while they ex.
pose 70 external mischief, and aggravate lis eff
iects. ! cannot believe that the scarcity OF
money, in our country, is in any measure. ow-
ing to an unfavorable balance of trade, as il is
called. This notion is so popular among us.
that it will be useful to state, with distinct
ness, the theory on which it is founded, and
attempt to show its falacy. This is more i'm.
portant at this time, since this opinion does not
float IN the commuDiiy,as an imperative spec
ulation. II is strangely applied by different
reasoners to. recommend and justify measures

PEACE IN IsDIA.-By the accounts we this
day publish, it will be seen that the Burmese
war has been ended like nost Of the wars in
which the British have been engaged, in the
east, by large accession to their already ex-
tensive territories in that part of the world.
We are not sufficiently acquainted with the
causes which led to this rupture, to judge
which Of the parties was most in fault. In
tie course of il, there has been great destruc-
lion of life and of property, for which an inn
mense weight Of responsibility rests some
where, portion, at least, of which, we DOUBT
not, falls to the British, who have been the
cause of evils for which they can never sufIi-
GENTLY atone. L, however, the power they
have acquired, is exercised with moderation,
and with just regard to the rights and well
fare of the people, it may be productive of i'm
portant results in favor of the cause Of civil
cation and religion. That such may be the
case, and that the lights of science and of civ
ilization may be diffuscd where mental dark
ness now reigns, must be the desire Of every
man who feels an interest 10 the welfare and
happiness of his species.
