And, with little attention to [ the replies, proceeded to speak of |he 5 powers of the different Sovereigns, and ’ of their views. The Russians he,said were ilietnost formidable people in Eu ' rope—England and France hud not the same military advantages, although their ' troops had more moral power than any * of the other nations. A Frenchman oir . becomng a soldier leaves a better coun try than any lie can be called to serve in ’ —and the Englishman in general finds himself worse off abroad ■ than at home— so that only the refuse of the population is inclined to enter the army. The Kus r sian, on the contrary, ceases' to be a mis t erable slave, uul becomes literally a . freeman wheh he quits Russia. He im- J proves his condition; he finds comforts which he never could enjoy at home; and* I consetfuently Alexander might increase his rmy to any amount upon services out of Ins own dominions,-and if he or ganized Poland well, he would secure the command of Europe. Alexander’s object had always been tntake Constan tinople, but he, Napoleon, had distinct ■ ly told him that he never would permit the Greek Cross to be placed on the Crown of the Czar. Austria was willing to assist the views-of Russia, if she her-, , self wa.-, to be guaranteed m the posses sion of the provinces contiguous to the Turkish frontier—so -that France and England would lie 'left alone to defend Turkey, i-ln-speaking of the power of Russia4m* objects of conquest, he said, the Csssacks were formidable, not so much frpm their numbers as their pecu liar ‘ability to endure privations in tra versing unknow n countries. They also resembled the Bedouin Arabs in the gilt of vision—so great in this respect was the faculty of the Bedo'ains, that when in Egypt upon an occasion when he wished by means bf his telescope to observe a body of men that appeal ed on the horizon, he had scarcely levelled In glass when a Bedouin near him recog nized with the naked’eye another Be douin, and described his dress <s*c. so as to distinguish the tribe* to which he be longed. “ England, he said, could never be come a Continental Power. Forty-five thousand men, -with all the bravery o' the nation, could never give her author ity on the continent. A naval and com mercial system was alone Adapted to he; situation, and could alsne preserve her from the ruin with which she was threat ened. Lord Wellesley was right in saying that the distress was permanent, r Lord Castlcreagh had made himself a j courtier to the sovereigns, and had neg . lected the interests of England. England 8 was like the dog looking at its shadow. ( in the water, and who dropped the meat out of its'mouth. If there had been an v able minister in the British Cabinet at the arrangement of the affairs of Europe, the , terms hfthe peace would have been very f different from those concluded on. The Utmost possible extension of commerce. g“ and a total relinquishment of continental y military ambition, could alone rescue - England from its present difliculties. . The king of Portugal should have been made to grant :ive years exclusive privi t lege of trade with the Brazils, as the price of the Portuguese throne. I “In former times the English minis ters had made peace tike merchants, and f had filled tlie pockets of their country. The present Ministers had set up for gentlemen, and had ruined themselves, r «In the year 1783, England threaten ’j ed to go to waragain, if France did not agree to the Commercial Treaty, which speedily mined her. The French min- J inters were obliged to accede to the de-. 1 mand, as they had no money, though the. *" consequences were foreseen. Thte doc * uments in the Bureau Affairs Etran " geres would prove this anecdote. Kng -1 and,in throwing away the advantage of 9 her naval power, acted like Francis I. at Pavia, who having stationed« battery of ; 45 pieces of cannon (in those days a n«- ■ merous force of artillery,) and which bat tery would have assured him the victory,, V interposed himself and his Gens, d’ar -1 meric between the guns and the hostile r lines, that they couM not fire, and draw * iog his magnificent grand sabre, he lost ’ the battle. The naval blockade was like rubbing the body with oil to prevent perspiration, and then suffering as mv face does at ibis moment, (said Bona % ■ -f parte) an eruption for the want of it. .If useof her war* lime supe riority, «he might tend ambassadors to commabd foreign courts. .Now she was 1 insulted With prohibitory decrees iu eve ry petty state. W ith 45,000 men, he repeated again and again, England can never become a continental power; be sides, the attempt would be fatal to that fitoe constitution in which the English so jifetly pride themselves, and which in . truth, has been the source of lier extra ordinary power, commensurate with her extent, Svhat has been the result ofher military, efforts? She had gotten possts i sion of his person, and an opportunity to shew her want as generosity. She had disturbed tire legitimacy df thrones, -since he was the lawful sovereign of France, fie wished for general peace,- as it was his true interest, and the only way by which he could t.e relieved from the rock on which he was now confined, j “He then entered into a long personal tirade against governor Lowe, on the treatment he had received, and of the many misrepresentations of his conduct which had been pul forth. He spoke of . Mr. Warden’s publication as unfounded in almost every particular, and express ed himself in severe terms of Lord Ba thurst's speech. He was surprised, he said, at Lord fcfidmoufh’s ami Lord Liv erpool’s want of decent propriety to wards him -on the discussion, and he thought he had shewn them civilities to assure him a more liberal treatment.— England, he concluded, was in a curious predicament—she had won all, and is ruined.* LATEST FROM ENGLAND, „ By thp ship Juno, capt.

During the early part of the month the demand was very considera ble, anti prices advanced; but throughout the last week,it has very much fallen oft’, without, however, causing any decline in price. Should the present dullness con tinue foe any length of time, a trifling reduction may take place; but our stocks are light, and the supplies to be expect ed for the remainder of the year, small, and the trade in Manchester, good, there is little doubt that the demand will re vive shortly and prices rally.

' By a itference to our Legislative j« - ceedings it will be seen, that Mr. h Vi liamson proposes a committee to prepare and report a bill to tax the Branch Banks of the United States in this State. How this proposition will be received by the Legislature, we-know not: But we hum bly conceive an interference off the kind to be without the pale of its authority. The Congress of the United States have by its adoption, declared constitutional the act incorporating the Bank of the U- States, and all its ramifications. The treasure has been sanctioned by the ap probation of the States individually—at least no remonstrance on their part has 1 expressed any tiling like dissatisfaction. ■ f the merexlictum of a single Slate, can 1 under these circumstances, modify or subvert an established law of our Nation* j al Legislature, we at once open an ave nue through which the most perplexing' difficulties and monstrous abuses may: enter; subjecting, at times, the general good of the -Confederacy to the control ingand undue influence of an integral part. The great fundamental principles of our free Constitution are watched by the; people with an eye of holy jealousy.— No direct infraction—no open violation of features, will ever des troy the stately fabric, or even mar its 1 beautiful configuration.

The advances I of Error is still more to be dreaded, ber! cause it is the pioneer to all that is ruin ous in civil and moral polity. The native; frailty of man, still rendered more frail j . and blind by the alluremedts of wealth & the blui dishments of folly, generally in-j duces him to embrace present and iirvmr- I diate aggrandizement, without consult ing the future upon the more permanent advantage am! security which may result I from his conduct, either in relation to : himself,to Society,or to posterity When ■ Error is thus introduced, confounding right and wrong, and sanctioned by the pjlferful voice of interest it is difficult to convince the public mind, that a disease is engendering which, if not-checked be-. fore it readies a crisis, will produce a general and dreadful mortality!— What, fellow citizens, if we tell you. ’ that we are in the incipient stage of sucli a disease !
