The depression il not owing so much TO the
condition of the Liverpool market, rs every

day, are from Z 10 81 cls.-principnl sales ST

was called home; her husband, eight surviving

urday. 18th. The Picayune says" In
the death Of a man Of the stamp Of Judge
Porter, whole nation sustains loss. He
was eminent for his forecast; he was sober
and wise in deliberation, and prompt and
determined in action. No man breaihed
who was more sincerely devoted 10 the
best interests Of his country. The State
of Louisiana was his pride. To it he
brought commanding talents, disinteres-

of human rights kindled in another cline
and inflamed by political persecution and
domestic bereavement. In the councils o.
his adopted country, he was eminent for
his wisdom. his eloquence and bis purify Of
character. But those only who knew him
in Ills social relations can fully appreciate
his loss. In his manners, Judge Porter
was most bland and elegant; his conversa-
lion was most aff1uent Of instruction, aud
overhowiug with wit, and playfulness !;
his friendships were ardent and abiding,
and to his kindness and benevolence there
were no limits. When such a man dies.

From the Southern Patriot.

The intelligence from Europe is sinsu-
larly barren OF interest, There is not ma
terial enough forsa Politicians discourse
or an Editors theme for FIVE consecutive
minutes. Onthe Continent all is as un-
ruifled as if there had been TRANSMISSION
inro the Cabinets Of ST.. James and the
TuiIleries Of the Souls of Sir r. Walpole
aud lhe Cardinal Fleury. Crowned
Heads have exchanged the exciteinents OF
war for the incentives To mprovemenls--
military enterprises for amelioraling pro-
jects. They have become Uiiitariass.-
Instead Of The march of armies, we hear of
nothing now but lines ofintercourse that is
to smooth away diversilies Of interest. de.
srroy provGiucial distinctions aud produce
the unity of he whole human falnily.-
Supplies are demanded now from Par
liamenls, for Substituting. but for exploring
all imaginable sources ofcommercial profit
and eulargimg in boundaries. The strug-
gle is moi for Military domain, for its own
sake, hu, as it may become the auxiliary
of new acquisitions iE trade. Colonial
rule is soUghl not as the nuiriment to ma
,ional pride, but as means of invignraling
mercantile enterprise and multiplying mar.
kels.
In This new emulation, this ascendancy
of the arts Of peace over the excitements
OF war, we discover the augmented power
OF The middle orders in Europe. Military
desires strengthened The means Of indul-
gence. There ls couiagion in The pas-
sions that belong 10 war, which seizes mul.
tiIudes and are transmitted through an en-
tire generation. The sIimuants that al
tend The rivalry Of arms-,ha, renders The
notifications Of defeat so biuer, aud the
ambition that follows success, so exciting
- disguise The cost of national conflicts.
But the check comes al last in The shape
Of pecuniary burthens. Calculation then
takes the place Of enthusiasm. 10 the
present generation war, in all forms and
aspects, is distasleful, not only on account
of its bitter recollecIions, butts costly sac
ri6ces. Accordingly, it is impossible for
rulers now to find in public feeling lLose
rroyocations that lead 10 national hostility.
The middle orders throughout Europe,
having acquired power from their wealth
and intelligence, oppose bulwark TO the
ambition Of Princes and Statesmen, sup.
posing that they should entertain schemes
Of military asgraudizement, hoping TO find
an echo in The general senlimenI. Ac.
cordinsly there is no prospect tha, The
present settled repose of peace will be soon
exchanged for the deceplious triumphs Of
4
dissentious that threaten revolution. spend
their force ia a tumult Of words aud q
harmless array of numbers. A rebellion
in Ireland, would be among the political
phenomena of our day. An outbreak in
Wales ends in the destruction of few
turnpike gates. A religious feud in Scot
land terminates in subscription.
