parades, dressing, or idleness. Sometimes evcD soldiers forgetting whattbey owc their own couF try. have been seen aldifg princes in sub]ugat- ing the liberal principles of nations who often show themselves too generous. Their studies, which ought to be directed only to the public good, often have tended 10 the peryersioh of all trueprinciples of fhumanitys although ammuch inclined 10 think that many princes only pre- serve large standing armies i'll time of peace with view to guarantee the rights of their nations.
 The American soldier is constantly employed in agricultural labor-the strict discipline to which he is subject keeps him on a level with the dispositions which are endeayored to be produced in other countries by continual pa rades and drills; the effect of which is perhaps to destroy, in q time of perfect peaee,as many warriors as would perish in an active campaign of tila same duration. No soldiers iii the world are as well fed, as well clothed, and as well paid, as those of the United States.
 The American government has engrafted its military institutions on it's civil administration; and the result it has obtained is not only an improvement, but masterpiece of military system.
 The small number of soldiers it maintains, causes the thousands of men which in other countries fills the ranks of the army, to addict themselves to the pursuits of agriculture, trade. arts, and sciences. Have the soyereigns of Eu- rope found more security in the refinement Of their policy, and is the government of the Unit ed States less secure for having taken the course 1t follows? .Neu- Orleans Courier.

Public Debiors.-We cannot refrain from the expression of hope, that the bill for the relief of unfortunate public debtors, now before the House of Representatives, will be passed into a law before the adjournment of Congress. A class of the most intelligent and enterprsing men in the country, whose hands are tied up from re-
 engaging in business by debts which they owe to the Government, and which they can never
 pay, will be set at liberty by the bilinquestlon, and denabled again to exert theirsdll, talents and
 experience, for their own benefit, and to the
 great advantage of the country. The Govern
 ment cannot possibly expect to realize a cent
 from citizens whose property has all been swept away by the misfortunes of trade. the tiuctua-
 tions in the foreign and home markets, and the
 variabfeness and uncertainty of our commercial Legislation. We cannot conceive one sol itary motive, of substantial nature, to pre- vent the immediate adoption of a measure for the relief of individuals who have been heretofore among the most useful and val uable of our feliow-citizens. Humanity and sound policyequalIy dictate their iiberationirom ttllc thraidom Of hopeless debt. The Govern ment will lose nothing by it, while the country

 whose disasters were partly occasioned by its own perpetually changing commercial policy
 By way of illustrating the truth of thesesugges-
 tions, we state fact which has lately come to our knowledge: single house in Philadelphia
 lost upwards of one hundred thousand dollars,
 by the mere propostionin Congress, in the year
 1926, to reduce the duties upon teas! This pro position had the instantaneous effect of redu-
 cing green teas ten cents on the pound, and five cents on black teas. Surely, when congress
 thussees the disastrous tendency of theirownact, tho doubt intended in their inception for the public good,) they willperceive thatthose who have suffered from them have strong claimup- on their lberality and indulgence.--.tat Mtel.

There IS rufnor abroad that a strong cols- ion of sentiment has taken place between his Majesty's government and the East India Com pany.
 It IS said that the Austrian and Spanish gov ernnents have recalled their Ambassadors resid- ing at the Court of the kingof the Netherlands.
 The London Courier of the 9th Dec. says, ssWe stated yesterday froman authentic and ex- elusive, source, that the King of the Netherlands had refused to fuifi the conditions of the armis- tice, and that Messrs. Cartwright and Bresson had proceeded to the Hague to remonstrate with his Majesty
 Since writing inc above, wehaye received a pryateletter from Brussels in which it is stated that the mission of Mir. Cartwright has not had the unfortunate result presented in the Brussels papers.
 41hpesp, Dec. 6.-king William is stated 10 have answered, among other things, to the ob- seryations of Mir. Cartwright on the noD-execu- ton of the armstice-s.My My Allies have soIemnly guarantied to me the sovereignty of the Neither lands, if they abandon me will defend myself alone, to the last extremity and will never suffer any communication between the faithful proyn- ces and those that have rebelled.''
 From .Me1ieo.-WE have beenfayored withthe following extracts from letters written by most respectable friend, now in Mexico.
 's.Nenieo, Dec A. go hence to Pueba in the American diligence, which now goes every other day, thence to Xalapa, probably in Mex lcan coach, and from Xaapa to Vera Cruz in a litter, that part of the road being excessively rough for q carriage.
 'sThe treaty will probably not be ratified by the Congress now in session, which will turn 1t over to the session in January.
 sThe political state of this country Is getting more and more unsettled.o
 Vera Cruz, Dec I9.-I am sorry to add, that this country is again becoming infested by large bands of robbers to an alarming degree, and that the Amelican diligence, in which was passen- ger, was the first vietinof their audaeity. es- eaped with the loss of all my valuables, and a severe stroke on the breast with the butt-end of q carbine.o
 By the Schooner Oscar we have received ad- vices from the city of Mexico of the 10th ult.-- The government had been concentrating their troops iii the capital since the lst December, and at the date of our last accounts, 5000 were assembled there, and their number was daily laugmenting. One would infer from this fact, l that the men in power were anticipating con- test for the government in the capital itseii and preparing for the event. We have no precise information respecting the positions and num- bers of the insurgents. five may be allowed, however, to judge from the fears of the govern ment, expressed in their preparations the ifasar- gents would seemto be pretty formidable New causes of dissention had arisen; new feuds had sprung up among the members of the govern ment. which, we conceive, will not be easily d. layed
 It was reported when the Oscar sailed, that Mr. Butler, the American charge des afaires, had succeeded iii forming a treaty of commerce and limits. Lousldaa Courier.
