Exlrafl of a letter, dated PARIS, M/trS. I had the pleasure to address you fome weeks ago—l then lubinitted to yoirMme upon the situation of France and of Europe; the situation of rhings has not since -fTTfeeality changed ; blit a report has got into c rcularion here, which if founded, indicates a fyltem of policy much better calculated to promote the real interdls of the Continent of Europe, than that hi. therto putfued, whi h teemed to have no other objeft than to pro*, more the intereff and views ol Great lfinain. It is reported that KUifiaSc A dlria have coYne to z perfect un dt.lfanding upon the great politi c.d questions which touch the in tcreiis and future policy of the c >ntineats of Eurbpe, whi h to be regulated hereafter without aiv interference on the part o! • England, wiiofe great objetl has | always been to embroil the potveis • on the eo ltinont, and prdfit of their w trs and disasters, to rerard thdr : civilization and progrels in manu faftures, and thereby render them 3 tributary to English indurtry. It ois advanced, that the great eonti- Tvenra! powers, feeing th.lt ‘the Bourbons cannot reign in France, an 1 maintain, alone, the internal tranquility, have in contemplation •>to give another, chief'to the na tion, and let her choose her otfn form of government. Napoleon tad is spoken of, and, in tint case, Austria is to make certain concef *Turns to Raffia and Prulfn, as a compensation for tne fccquifmon of p >wer and influence, which {he will obtain. If this report be true, it is the moil fatal event for Eng land that could take place—iris .perhaps decisive of her fate. But’ ‘tins is a policy too wife and too lu* tnu.ou’ to he adopt and : the venali ty * umiders, and the ledu&ionsof E.i.'glilhgeld, forbid us togive much cr>. ik to it l have alf i apprehend e ‘ that the ambition of Rufiii i uft be opposed to an order of t cogs which would llrengthen An n ria and eftablifti a barrier to her a ggrantifzement in Poland. R it, t tnis> it may be opposed, that, by certain flipnlatiom, her ambi tio us views might be turned fo vva ds Turkey, where, fire cou'd promise hers if success and glory, without, perhaps, acquiring any additional military ibength to alarm her neighbors. Conquered provinces can rarely increase the lolid power of the conqueror ; and if the antitnt empire of the Clt ars become a R ufid ii province, it would rather open a field to com mere a*n J man ime ambition, than augment the power of Alexander. 1 dwell well with particular plea sure, upon this new and enlighten e l view of tle politics of Europe, because it promises peace, civiliza tion anu profperry, and would re duce England to her natalal rank among nations, and above all, it would open a widcca rccrtocwrcom mcrce and induflry ; it would fix our prosperity on a (olid basis, and enable us to contribute to the in dependence of the whole America, 4-1 J conlolidafe tne libeities of the ttw world. 1 his mult, and, no doubt, will be, the ermftant obje& of the United Stares. We mud h ive no European neighbors, if we Wish to maintain our free and h.ip pv government. Great Britain xvdl be our eternal enemy, and our jmerefts demand that her cololfal maritime power be diniinifhed; and it is a wife and well combined iyl t c,n of esclufiou iroui the courineut of Europe that is bed calculated to halten its deftrudlion, and kt fcfie wutld free. With to the flare of the public mind here, it is daily be coming nioreadverfe to the present order of things. All the measures of government have a tendency to perpetuate the difeontent and ap-, piehenfions of the people. The perfection of all those who took any part in the revolution, or served Napoleon, is continued with new auiuiofiry ! Neither the laws nor the confutation are refpe&ed by the chamber of deputies, which •foe ms to have laid aside all mode ration. The purehafers of the na rional property, fold since the re volution, calculated to amount, with their families, to eight mili ums of inhabitants, are in daily fear that their property will be wrested •froi\v then The difeontent of the army incrrlfes with the mitery to which it has been reduced. ‘1 he ancient nobility are become more iofolem than even, betore tbo re volution. All places, under go vernment, are given to men whote ignorance and age render them incapable of fulfilling-their duties. No one asks a place, who cannot prove that he has been a spy, a traitor, or borne arms against his country. No one, in France, can have a place, unlci’s he can prove he has been an emigrant. Merit fetid p-''nothin are hunted down, as the great; t vices,-arid all tiie fe bu r es and cmrtiption, that exiffed before the revolution, (and which gave rife to ii.) are daily introdu cing themlelves under the protec tion of ti: * government end nobili ty. N ‘.ilritig could maintain this order of things dn France, but the coalition of all i mope ; let that c<*a!i:ion be dilfolved, ami the Bembo.is difuppear, never again to drench their country with the blood ol its citizans. trmi the Beirut Commercial Cbre nt-le, cf Apr:l io, 181 6. It is well known that the em peror Napoleon was an effe&ivc protestor of ad the arts and the ici ences i but it is not so generally cnderfteod, that, whenever any important difeovery was made, in any branch of art or tcience, he set negociatioii3 on foot to pur chafe the fee ret of the invent! n, with a view to publish it in live vioniteur, not only ter the benefit of France, but of the world at large. The remedy far the Gout, by DrPra dier, was then purchased by Na poleon, at the price of <i,sooX fter ling, paid fiom his private put fe, and the formuh was imme diately published in the Moniteur as follows; take Balm of Mecca, 6 drachms, Red Bark, i ounce. Saffron, half an ounce, S trfapariii i, one ounce, Sage, one ounce, Reddled spirits of wine, 3 lbs. Dissolve separately, the balm of Mecca in one third of the lpirita ot wine ; nwcerate the red of the substances in the remainder, for 4.S hours ; filter and mix the two liquor?. Tor use, the tindure ob tained >6 mixed with twice or thrice the quantity of lime Water ; the bottle mull be thaken, to mix the precipitate, fettled to the bot tom hv ftandinir.

A poultice mull be prepared of linked meal, which must be of a px'd confillency, and lpre3d verv hot of the t hie briefs o a finger, on a napkin, in as to be able com* pletety to Turfotsnd the part a{fe£te ed ; if ir be-required for both legs, from the feet to the knees, it will take aboht three quarts ot Ihffeed meal. When the pediltice is prepared, and as hot as the pstient can bear it, about two ounces of the pre pared liquor tnull bepoerrd equal ly over the whole iiirfacc of each, without its being imbibed ; the part affeded is then to be wrappea up in it, and bound up with flan nel and bandages to preserve the heat. The poultice is generally changed every 24 hours, fometiiTies at the end ot twelve. It would, be whimsical, if the Prince Regent were to-be cured of this tormenting and dangerous disease, hy a remedy, for which h< wauld be evidently indebted to the public fpinrand liberality of Na poleon. Balance cf Trade.—* -It has been dated, that the imports into the port of Bolton, during the lalt yefar amounted to fifty millions of dollars, and those to the port of New-York to fifty-two millions. Put down the importations to all the Other ports in the union at what they were at Bo ft on -and New- York, which is probably too iow, am. vre have an aggregate or two hundred and tour millions. Our total exports, during the fame pe. riod, amounted to only fiity-lix trillions, leaving an excess of ‘im ports, oyer our exports, in one year, of one hundred and forty*, tight millions of dollars. To make familiar the conlecuences which mutt result from this, suppose a a tanner rahes for lale produce and Hock, which brings him one hun dred thouf&nd dollais a year ; and buys in the fame time, of the mer chant, ‘goods for confinnption to the amount of four hundred thoc tend dollars, ft requires no great mathematical calculation to de monlfrate, that this man is rapidly going down hill, as the prompter lays, and that he mull either re trench his expenses or Toon become a bankrupt. So with a nation. Experience will demonstrate, if it has not already fatiHfied the nation of the fact, that the vast importa tion of-foreign goods, have tended infinitely more so embarrass and i.npovertth the country, than all the embargoes and non inttreofirfe laws which we experienced durian .k * ° the war. One year jgo, we predicted the evils whicn are now felt in everv part ot ourcountry, in consequence ol this enormous influx of loreign goods. Ihe evil has not yet at* tamed its height ; and it requites much prudence and circumspection the part ol the merchant and his cuflosnerf, to sustain the fiiock So long as peace continues in Eu rope, the it a pic productions of the northern dates cannot find a per manent mat Ret abroad, except at **erv reduced prices. Europe will raise her own proviftons. Indeed, we find that the beef, butter and potatoes cf Ireland are already com peting with the fame productions of our own in the American mar ket. In fact it may be aflumed as a truth, and the sooner the fact is realized the better, that the iorpins produce of our farms will depreci ate one third, crone halt in value, from the average prices which they have borne for the lad twenty vears ; and confequer.tly the abili rvofthe farmer to buy will de crease in more than a proportionate r mo. Pruckace therefore admon iihes a coTelpondent curtailment of enpenfes; and those who dlfre’ garded her monitions, must reap tfrtt fruits of their impudence. An. tides of houlehold an.J domestic manufacture nwjft be fubftitured Tof foreign fabrics; we must encourage American iftHead of European me. chani.cs, and barter for their gabdg those productions of the foil which can no longer find a market or a p.ice abroad.
