The depth of water that covers the rear of the

The United States’ sloop of war Peacock,

r Those who ridicule the idea of the introduc
tion of manufactures into this country on a large
scale, as being injurious to commerce, can -
crols over from
e marriage ceremony of j
cer
tainly not reflect upon’ the subject—whence
arose the great"‘'commercial superiority of the
British but from manufactures? In time of
peace home manufactures with every nation,
-are the great basis of trade s In the period of
European war, we make money circuitous traf
fic, by remaining neutral and carrying cheaply.
But at a season of peace, the Europeans can car
ry as cheaply as we; and if we have no manu
factures of our own wherewith to supply the
markets of the world, in a commercial point of
view, we must fall in the rear-ward.
It is stated (how true we know not) that Ba-

election in New-York, basin consequence, re
linquished the editorship of the Courier to Cul

was tfie hireling editor of the profligate Federal
Republican, a successor worthy to step in Ba.

■f 6-day We continue the report of the inter
esting details relating--to the long pending trial
of sir R. Wilson, Mr. Brace and captain Hutch
inson. They were of course* found gaiety, as
the chargee against them were admitted in the
written account of'the transaction by gir R.
Wilson, tod on the verbal acknowledgement of
all parties. They have been Sentenced to thrfe
months’ imprisonment, which is the slightest
punishment the law prescribes for the offence.
Private letters give different versions of the
following rumors. We subjoin two statements
—the first, dated the 24th April, is from the
Morning Chronicle—the other dated the 25th,
from the Courier:—
PRIVATE CORRESPOXnESCF.;
f “ Paris, April 24.
“The <}ake of Wellington arrived m Paris on the night
before last. The aid-de-camp of the emperor Alexan
der, whose arrival here 1 mentioned in my last, brings
despatches, of which one of the subjects' is to withdraw
from the..duke the command of the Russian army in
France; which he holds is generalissimo of the allied
forces. The precise cause of the difference existing be
tween the Russian and British cabinets cannot long re
main a secret to the public;, it would appear that they
relate to the settlement of a new order of-things in con
templation in this country. According to the most pre
valent opinions, these differences arise from pretensions
set up by Russia in favor of the young prince of Orange,
in the event of the reigning family of France being re
moved from the throne. The expediency of the lattey
measure, for the general tranquility of France and that
of Europe, is understood to be now sensibly felt by the
Allies. An article which has lately appeared in the Bel
gium Moniteur is thought ■ to be remarkable, under the
P resent circumstances. The article, which is a most
attering eulogy of the young prince of Orange,
concludes with the remark, that the young prince justi
fies already the high destinies to which he may be cal
led. The high destinies, in the opinion of many, 1 are.
obviously the throne of France. The government of

Carpenter, in the years 1806 tod 7, was in
• defatigable in his attempts to convince the people
of the United States that they are “their own
worst enemies.” As he is about to take charge
of the Courier, lie will, no doubt, make similar
exertionsOand will, we are sure, again fail.
If ever there was a government, if ever there
was an administration, that deserved the love, the
confidence and support of the people, surely it
is ours.

LATRFROM ENGLAND VIA, MADEIRA.
We learn verbally, by the British ship Hope,
captain Cuthbertson, arrived yesterday'Horn
Madeira* in 36 days passage, that just before
leaving that island, a ship had arrived in 14 days
from. London, bringing 4 report that the prince
regent a$Hrent Britain had died suddenly, im-
mediatelybefore she sailed. ; This intelligence
Was verbal, as the captain had not time to obtain
any printed advices. The report was doubted at
Madeira. The same vessel also brought the re
port of the marriage of the princess Charlotte of
Wales to the prince of Coburg. This event
most probably took place before the death of the
Regent.—City Gazette,.

By the brig Falcon, from Londonderry, the
editors of the Mercantile Advertiser have re
ceived Irish papers to the 7th, containing Lon
don dates to the-2d of May, and Paris accounts

certainly taking steps in that view. They lately made
overtures to a character of great eminence in fins country,
who suspecting M. De Richelieu’s feelings on that point,
ventured to con^de to him the communication he had
received. That minister replied, ‘such overtures do not
surprise me, you may be further consulted on the same
subject.* Whence it would appear that M. de Riche
lieu is not a stringer to the Russian plan, in favor of
the young prince, and that he presides over the govern
ment of France, : as it has always been thought, under
the immediate influence of Russian councils. In the
hypothesis of such a change of dynasty the late vote of
credit for the sixjmillions demanded by M. de Richelieu,
might be suppomd a provision for the retiring princes.”
i “Parts, April 25.
“We are all Occupied here jn conjectures and reflec
tions on the proljuble result of a treaty of alliance which
is reported to hive been signed between the emperor of
Russia, his majekty of Prussia, and the king of the Ne
therlands. It is teid that the object of the duke of Wel
lington’s visit t< the Hague is to obtain an explanation
of the king of th: Netherlands as to the intentions of the
high contracting parties in this triple alliance. The noble
dutte is particu ai-ly interested in acquiring an exact
knowledge of th< object of this treaty, as it is generaily
said that Russia, has manifested a wish to deprive his
lordship of the cpmmand of the allied army stationed oil
tlie French fron iers, and to offer it to the prince of
Orange. What 4egree of credit is to be attached to these
reports I will nq say. I yesterday heard a Russian gen
tleman say, that t was absolutely necessary that Austria
should cede Galli ia to the emperor Alexander, who ne
ver could nor wo ild be satisfied until that province was
added to his dom nions. It appears that Russia is become
the fast friend an; firm supporter of the king of the Ne
therlands. To B issian influence is attributed the little
attention which has been paid to the remonstrances of
this court, relativfe to the protection and asylum afforded
to the French rej cides in Belgium. Many persons sup
pose that the re ult of the triple alliahce will be the
forming of a simi »r treaty between England, France and
Austria. But ret tUect that -what I send you is bid report—
and the report of *aris!.'! n
“Palis, April 27.
“The reports i -lative to the duke of Wellington being
superceded by th prince of Orange in the command of
the Russian and I russian contingents, lose all credit; and
these rumors are only the inventions of an enemy, for
the purpose^of si wing dissentions ahd divisions among
the allies. The r is now another story in circulation,
namely, the disc very of some seditious and insurrec
tional movement unong the troops composing the royal
artillery, who are Said to be implicated in a plot to over
turn the government. I have no doubt there is just as
little foundation ftr this rumor as the other.
“M. Talleyrand quitted Paris yesterday morning for
Valency. ( ;
“It appears,' that the king will not go, in person, to
prorogue the chaiibers, but that a commission, presided
by the chancellor,'will be nominated by his majesty for
that purpose. It 'is generally supposed that the proro
