him the propriety of transmuting

suggestion was adopted, and Mr.

to exertion dre sufficiently powerful,

same by land tb 300 francs. Cotton
raised in no other parts, except the
Emperor's dominions,ran be export
ed by land, a part of Turkey in Eu-
' rope excepted ; consequently cotton
produced in every part of the’French
dominion, is subject only to a duty
of 300 francs. Naples has the ad
vantage of importing, subject tb the
old duties, and the remainder of the

THE JOURNAL.
tVEDNLSPAr, January 30.
By Bonaparte’s Decree of 1 the 5th
of August htst, we may readily dis
cover what v are thb prospects of A-
mericans respecting their commerce
with Europe.' Neither an Embargo,
nor a non-intercblTrse can as com
pletely exclude us from the trade of
the continent, as the oppressive du
ties laid on thjT importation of arti
cles produced in the United States,
and exported for foreign market. If
800 francs per quintal, which t6 about
$257 per hundred weight, or 8 2 57
cents per lb. be the duty on the im
portation of Cotton, what can the
planter expect to receive, when it is
considered, that freight and other
expences are to be deducted exclu
sive of his price ? Had we the
privilege of entering the Baltic, we
might enjoy at least a partial trade
independently of France ; but even
this advantage is denied us. Den-
maijf commands the entrance into
the Baltic—her duties are equally
oppressive. Cotton ^/rom Cayenne,
BruxijUSurinam and Georgia long
staple, are subjept to a duty of ‘800
francs—those from Naples, to former
dutigS' Why this difference ? Doubt
less fo epcourage the cultivation of
Cotton in Italy, the most suitable
part of the Emperor’s dominions for
its .production. Nothing can more
effectually promote commerce in one

Despatches from our Minister at

So late as the 5th November, (three
days after the operation of the revo
cation by France of her Decrees)
“ no step had been taken by Great
Britain towards a revocation of her
Orders in Council, nor any move
orient indicative of a determination
jo revoke them.”
A letter,from a member of Con
grass, dated the 14ih instant, receiv
ed in Augusta, says,
“ No plan is yet digested in rc
gapd to our foreign relations. In the
event that the orders and blockades,
shall not be revoked, nothing more
will be done, in my opinion, than to
enforce the non importation act.
which takes place On the 2d day of
next month. Much, however, will
depend on a developement of the po
licy of France towards us, which at
present is of a doubtful character.
“ The question of renewing the
Bank Charter will probably be con
sidered to-morrow, and I believe its
failure is almost certain.”
A bill has been before.the Com
mittee of Foreign Relations, and
was expected to be reported to Con
gress on the 15th instant, for carry
ing into effect the provisions of the
’act of May last relative to Great-
Britain and Frauce. It may there
fore be expected, that commercial
intercourse between this country
and Grcat-Britain will be prohibited
after the 2d of February, unless the
Orders iu Council shall have been
repealed.
