^a»— i WK£\ m rt w- X X 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 Every year taxes are repealed, and the re ceipts ofthe treasury seem to advance with the decrease ofthe popular burthens.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, — land, Samuel A. Willson, Mary Green,Ben- AUxens^ Mar. 30,1827. Mu<b sensation has been excited in Savannah by the ^3ath of ChXrleS Harris, Esq. which occurred oaSaturday tha l7.th inst. In noticing the event tie Georgian says, “ TJic whole life of Charles Har ris has indeed been one of usefulness and benevo lence. Honors have ever courted his acceptance, and there is no politic^ distinction in the gift of his admiring fellow-citizens which did not depend upon from a renewal of I ^ a^P* 41100 ; but he has invariably declined OfinvStt ste'car. have no poesi- 10 ft**to th° cmnamiy vritt. 1 which he was more immediately connected, that ex perience and knowledge and talent which would have shed a lustre up^it, and haVe claimed the ad- . . iii miration of the world in the most exalted station.”— except against a black insurrection, and her I fmi era i honours were of the most exalted kind HALL. jamin Freeman, Joseph Cunningham, ..-Mathew, Wilson, George Thornton Jar.

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 sia and the Netherlands, could easily check 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- d and water r her codcentation of immense acquisitions which give her the keys the world and more cs- jolute command over all the maritime intercourse which can be of cultivators to objects that will be likelyti) yield 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.

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. over the t be more satisfactory to ev- a to find the first figure in the vass occupied by his own country. It is ‘ indeed, both abroad and at home, that 1 the countries in Europe, England stands need of peace, as wall to heal the h she has sustained in her fi- of twenty years, as to gain >al discordsj especially in peace no man we trust, be the expense of one atom debt, how- her means the Atlantic, with Africa, or with the eastern hemisphere.- The fleets of England were never so predominant as at the hour at which we now describe them, over those of every actual or possible rival. The elements, and frame, and spirit of the army never so well arrayed or constituted. Her arsenals are provided for more than ten years of war ■but above all, and paramount, stands that strength, which consists in the just and de fensive character of British policy', inspiring the great body of nations with confidence, and the members of their several Govern ments with respect. With whatever warmth of language those Englishmen whose duty and genius lead them to conduct the discussions of our national interests, may happen to express their feeling of a public wrong, or their soli citude for a remedy, it may bring foreigners into aD unlucky predicament if they venture on such grounds to build any hope of pro fiting by our apparent quarrels with each other. the great mover of the commonwealth, it is unavoidable to paint grievances in strong colours, that they may catch the eye and fix the public attention ; but we repeat-that the jtower which fancies that because Eng lishmen remonstrate boldly with their pub lic rulers, where they feel that some par tial defect in the political system might be repaired, they will not therefore make com mon cause with their Government against, the intrusions or designs of strangers, will find itself in a very unfortunate mistake, and exposed to perils which it would be wise to avoid by timely abstinence from provoca tion.”—Bell's JVeekly .Messenger. teresting to. those who give their reflection so wide a rage as to embrace its discussions.—The paper from whence it is derived, lias long maintained a high standing for penetration and judgment in such matters.

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. As n proof feos; 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 ~ .JUL, .. ..v, were acquitted, the fees 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 tim of an absurd and unjust legal formality, that the funded undred millions, I est thnn when it of that sum. The Benj. Baker, Daniel P.
