COMMERCIAL POLITICS.
The prominent feature of our re
cent European intelligence is of the
utir.ofl confeejuence 10 the commer
cial part of the community. It e-
veu embraces a more extenlire
range; and the confummation of
the plan now in agitation bids fair to
put an end to the mifertes entailed
on mankind, by maritime war : con-
feauently, in its operation the in-
terefts of the whole human family
are involved.
It is well known, becaufe it has
been extenfive y felt, what u liufl
vexations and arbitrary reflri-Tions
our commerce has been fubjecled to
by the belligerents during
lapfe of years. 1
A- ia(t it appears that one of them j
is difpofed to conciliate and render
arms, in a (hort period fhe will com- in thole provincies where the peo-
mit u national filicide. Prol'cribed pie are lealt capable of robu (l labors,
from tlie principal markets, herj On th? coalt of Coromandel,
maim failures, the fource of her and in the province of Bengal,
wealth, will languilh and die. Mif-. when at fome dillaitce from the
cry and diftrefs will abound in the I high road, and a principal town, it
very vitals of her kingdom. The j is difficult to find a vill vge in which
pili.irs of her national credit will be j every man, woman and child is not
(haken. Her enormous paper cur- j employed in making a piece of
rency will depreciate. Her boafted I cloth.' The afliftance which a Wife
navy, the nation’s glory, in a few, and family are capable of affording
years, for-want of foreign lupplies of j to the labors of the loom mav ha-e
! much contributed to a preference
given by a lazy people to tins maim
hemp, pitch, &c- will become rot
ten hulk and ufelefs lumber. And
her immenfe national debt will final
ly involve her in a national bankrupt
cy. A revolution will tread on the
heels of her difallers, and her rotten
I and corrupt government will give
j slice to one that is equitable and
long | i' J t -
Fhefe are no chimeras of a heat
' imagination ; they are events that
perfe.Tly in fine order of nature,
us that justice which has fo long
been demanded in vain ; and it is
confidently reported that a commer
cial treaty has been formed between
this country and imperial France.
Conne£led with this, Mr Adams’
midi in to Ruffin is of th - firfl im
portance, becaufe it is well ufeer-
tained that the principal object of
r°- ’ T 1 .. ' time powers, in order io digclt
lair complexion, by occupation ; ncw p m il[6 , ne co d c f or the govero-
a taylor ; w nt away in citi.^ rij j^entof the civilized world. From
cloth j s aud arniefl vvi'h patrols, in o^ authentic fources of infor-
and probiblyil rifl .*, as the par- j-mauon wc leaWt that this g aud and
benevolent plan, to put an end to
legalized robbery and cold blooded
murder on the ocean, will undoubt
edly be a lopted.
Great-B-itain alone will oppofe
the humane, the godlike plan, and
refill its benevolent and friendly
one r atiotis The conlequ nee will
be, that a war with England will be
rendered inevitable.
Jr, the event of this, although wat
is one of the greateil fcourges that
ever afflicted humanity, we trull our
countrymen will b-» unanimous and
one | la * miv 'hortly be expc&ed to b
realized.
We therefore, as vigilant and
watchful citizens, ought to be pre
pared to meet our foe? for, a thirdly;
in cafe of Mr. Adam-.’ embaffy be
ing crowned with complete fuccefs,
our city will be the firfl object of
attack, and if we are not on the alert

S ong fymptoms of the circum

Eafi have been manifelled by that j
very power which produced its ex-
ten ft m ? we mean the military pow- I
er in the Engliflr Ealt India fettle |

engendered among the officers of'

hence the weavers live entirely in,

The dfftintlion of drefs in Indoflan,

which it had a thoufand years ago.
Ornaments of gold or filver are
marks of foppery, which are indulg

are not worn about the perfon, ex
