fURSORY REMARKS :
On the different States and govements on the Con
tinent of Eoropo at the close of the year 1826.
The present subject is suggested to our
attention both by the period at which we
bow write, the qlose of the present year, and
'the commencement of the new one ; and
by the state of- circumstances which our
present interference in the affairs of Portu
gal has produced.
If we throw our eyes over the continent
of Europe, the first Power which arrests our
attention, m dignity, weight, and strength,
is Prance. Her Government is peaceable
and flourishing ; and the crown seems as
firmly fixed in the present dynasty, as is the
British crown in the House of Hanover,
The name of Bonaparte seems as complete
ly to have lost its influence, and to be as
milch forgotten, as the names of any of the
brigands of Europe in the dark ages of its
history. France ha3 not only established
peace at home, but has laid the foundation
of peace in a system of finance just as solid
and regular as that of the English Govern
tnent. Nor is it to^be overlooked that this
revenue is levied with the slightest possible
burthen upon her numerous population.
Every year taxes are repealed, and the re
ceipts ofthe treasury seem to advance with
the decrease ofthe popular burthens. Nor
is her public and military force in a less en
viable condition. Her Navy, upon which
a yearly expenditure takes place equal to
the construction of six line of battle ships
and as many frigates, is now regaining its
ancient formidable character. Her army
is numerous, and highly equipped, and oc
dupies a clmin of arsenals and fortified towns
on the North, the Last, and South, which
re.ider her frontier unassailable. Add to
which, her military occupation of Spain
pushes her power to the extreme western
shores of Europe, and gives her possession
of the best ports and harbours of the Bay
of Biscay and the Mediterranean, up to the
very Straits of Gibraltar. Such is,the
present condition of France, who, to,
with England holds not merely the baTaw
but the destinies of Europe in her hands*
With regard to Spain, tbft rie!lt^j^#er to
ViirrK nnr attention i<* tpit -- wA sec in
credit of the Government, is, therefore, bet
ter than at the end of the seven years’ war
so gloriously concluded by the late Earl of
Chatham, or than it was ou the breaking out
of the war in 1793, commenced by his son.
The average rat? of interest upon the Eng
lish debt is under 4 per cent, whilst the debt,
of every other power in Europe is no where
under 5 per cent and in most countries as high
as six, seven, or eight per cent. And if we are
referred to the period of 17S8, when Mr. Pitt
established his Sinking Fund of one million
to controul a debt of between two and
three hundred millions, we may also refer
to a surplus fund of five millions, which is
more in proportion to the present debt than
tb*e sinking fund of Mr. Pitt when first crea
ted. Upon the whole, though England,
from various circumstances would find
most beneficial to preserve the peace ofE
rope, she has, perhaps, of all the powi
the least to apprehend
war. Of ini
hie dread. Her navy only requires to be
let loose to sweep every flag before it. Her
Colonies are in a state of perfect security,

military force, when required to act, will be
found, as it always has been, invincible.
Her Continental allies form a strong part
of her power. She can attack France, at
any time through Flanders if it be deemed
I that it is in the power of a respectable city'to be
stow, evinced rather in the expression of feeling than
the show of pageaatiy.
We are glad to observe that the papers in the
necessary $ and, in conjunction with Prus- I southern country are -striving to direct the attention

the progress of that ambitious power, in all
future wars.
We cannot better conclude these obser
vations than with the forcible and eloquent
description ofa contemporary writer. ‘Look
says he, “ at the general progress of the
British empire in the materials of wealth
and power, since the beginning of the war
in 1788.—Her commerce trebled; hfer
means of productive industry quadruple,
her works of defence, and of eommunica-

more profit than ’those with which thcy ha&rc been
engaged for a few years past, and also to learn that
in some places the enterprise has been commenced.
Wine, sugar, and silk, are the principal articles held
in view, and sufficient demonstrations have been
made to afford the best prospects of their ultimate
if undertaken. On our first pa?e will be found
•a interesting account of a successful experiment;
i« .cultivating the vine, in a section of the 'country,
that might be supposed far more unfavourable than
in this state; and in the ensuing columns other ex
tracts favouring the project.—Cotton continues to
sell at from 8 to 10 cents in the seaports, nor are
there any indications of an advance.

second Turkey, in
: human-race, and every quality
iguisli and adorn it, seems
ecline, and melting away be-
eve of the beholder. There are
wo feeble instruments of preserving
the public peace in this country; the horrible
inquisition, which rules, curbs, and extin
guishes, by trampling under its feet every
liberal opinion—and the French army,
which, in the present wretched state of the
government, serves as its domestic police.
Such a country as this cannot long exist
as an independent kingdom- It must either
soon become a province of the French em
pire, or break up into disjointed states, like
the Italian Republics in the eleventh and
twelfth centuries.
The next power is Austria, weak in her
self, and more enfeebled by an adverse feel
ing in the majority of her subjects Italy,
discontented even to sedifion under her
barbarous and unnatural rule, and Hungary
rather submitting as a fief upon stipulation
and compact, than as a sub ject state. There
are, here no features of a representative Gov
eminent, and, therefore, Austria has little
of external strength or authoriivin the affairs
of Europe.
Prussia is-in a condition very httle dis
similar. Her military strength is indeed
great *, the whole kingdom being as it were,
one camp; but her financial and political
strength are nothing. The King has bro
ken his pledge of giving his people a repre
sentative government, and therein has for
feited the good wishes ofthe best and weal
thiest of his subjects.
With respect to Russia, she can never do
anything very effectual in Europe, unless
called in as an arbiter, or as an ally. She
- has no pecuniary resources to enable her to
interfere as a principal, and to overcome the
&«advantages which distance must inevita
bly throw in her way. Strong in her itn
penetrable deserts and inhospitable climate,
she may defy attack, but she is utterly in
capable of any formidable offensive move
ments, without the assistance of neighbourly
C wers. Look at Turkey; which has kept
ir at bay for centuries, and even Persia, a
power utterly unknown to Europeans, is en
abled to threaten and waste her frontiers.
We may dismiss the Netherlands, and the
Northern Powers.as satellites to the greater
orbs, whose motions they must watch, and
whom they depend.

■but above all, and paramount, stands that
strength, which consists in the just and de

the great body of nations with confidence,
and the members of their several Govern

With whatever warmth of language

national interests, may happen to express

tial defect in the political system might be
repaired, they will not therefore make com

avoid by timely abstinence from provoca

The first experiment of stage coaches
travelling upon railways have been made
with great success between Darlington and
Stockton. The railway from Witton to
Stockton, a distance of twenty-five miles,
was formed for the conveyance of coals;
and so great is the advantage of this kind of
road in lowering the expence of carriage,
that coals which formerly sold at 18s. per
ton, in Stockton, are now sold there for Ss.
6d. The railway passes through Darling
ton, which is at a distance of 12 miles from
Stockton, and two coaches now travel the
road daily, conveying a very great number
of passengers at the rate of a penny per
mile each. The vehicles are the bodies of
old six inside coaches, placed upon new and
lower wheels, fitted for the railway.—They
are drawn by a single horse, which oflen
States of | draws from 20 to 30 passengers, at the rate
of 10 miles an hour, with quite as much
ease as a horse moves in a gig, the traces
being generally loose, and his principal
effort being to maintain his speed.

Injustice.-r-'Ihe English laws form, in
many respects, the most extraordinary sys
tem of contradiction and injustice, that ever
under the name of law pressed upon a peo
ple. On a trial at the Clerkemvell sessions
(London) lately, there was no proof against
the prisoner, and he was about to be ac
quitted as a n«alier of? conrse, when the
judge advised tho jury, out of charity, to
convict him, because the court could then
discharge him with a penny fine, and no

took abroad in^ the'central money | wou Id amount to a larger sum than the
poor fellow was worth. And so the jury
perjured themselves in charity to the vic

In the lower part of the State, sugar is
becoming an article of extensive cultivation.
A friend in Early county writes us that last
year he made 1800 lbs. of good sugar from
an acre and a quarter of cowpened pine
land. We have a sample of his sugar for
exhibition, which is highly creditable for
his skill and industry.—But the vine seems
best adapted to our climate, and at the same
time likely to produce the greatest profits,—
and it would be ’.veil for the planters to set
seriously to work. Cotton we are persuaded
will get worse and worse, and the sooner
we begin a new system the better.—Journal-
. \ ,
On s the road between this place and Ma
con, we were gratified a few days ago, in
noticing the preparations making on two
plantations for forming largq Vineyards.
The exercise af a little skill, which can be
easily acquired, will enable our citizens.to
make in abur dance, Wine and Sugar of
excellent quality. We have the climate and
soils adapted to the production of each of
those valuable articles, and none will belter
reward the industry of the cultivator. We
should rejoice to see some portion of the
labour bestowed on cotton, more profitably
employed on other objects.—South. Rec.

the Navy Yard at Gosport, yesterday.after
noon, (March 8.) At half after four o’clock,
she moved from her cradle, and glided into
her destined element, in a style graceful
and majestic beyond any thing we have ever
witnessed on a similar occasion, amid the
cheers of hundreds assembled to witness
the interesting and imposing spectacle.!
Not the slightest accident occurred to mar
the general joy, which might be read in the
countenances of till present, and burst from
eveiy lip. The Nffohez is certainly a sui-

around stern, of- the best materials, and we
