THE foreign papers received in the course of the week, contain no intelligence of importance. Partial disturbances still occur in some parts of France ; those which result froth a dearness of provisions must shortly terminate, as the harvest has begun ; those which are occasioned through the machinations of dis affected men, will, it is to be hoped, be entirely sup .pressed through the vigilance of the executive go vernment. The disasters which have befallen the royalist armies in South America, are again stimulating the parent -state to fresh exertions ; a force composed of drafts .from every regiment in Spain is to he dispatched forth with. The advises from the Brazils bring the pleasing in formation that the insurrection at Pernambuco is entire ly suppressed, and the royal authorities restored. It should seem by ktters received from India, that hostilities are tarrying on against some of the native . aids ; and that a new war is apprehended from the protection affuaal by Seiudiah to the hostile Pin rdarries. In another part of our paper, it will be .seen that ..the charges preferred against NI‘K inlay for a conspiracy •at Glagcw, have not been proven. This has given much cause of triumph to those, who can see nothing• in the precautionary measures of government but op pression: how thr this man was a participator in the -alleged crimes, .we may judge from the address of the Lord Jestice Clerk; and we seriously recominend the admonitions contained in that address, to those per sons who may have tunguardeilly lent themselves to the views of discontented or designing men. Math kosincss has been done during the week on the Stock Exchange, and the funds left off on Saturday lower than they have been. Without indulging in conjectures on the probable causes of the extensive sales which have taken place, we would fain • attribute them, not to " specalations in foreign countries," but to a revival of trade at home offering opportunities of em ploying capital more advantageously : the accounts of the prospects of an übubtlant harvest, and of the increas ing activity. in the manala?turing diqricts, are favour able to this supposition. THE NATIONAL REGISTER. One of the German Papers rezeived in the begin ing Of the week contained a furious tirade (copied from the Ghent Journal) against what it is pleased to call the overwhelming preponderance A Great Britain not merely on the Continent but over the whole world ; by her fleets, her colonies, her fortified stations, she is re presented as controlling and watching every shore, the coasts of the Channel, those of the North Seas, of the Mediterranean, the West India Islands, South Ameri ca, Asia, in short the whole world ; that her power is stronger and more inaccessible than that of armies ; that She went to war to enrich 'herself with the spoils of other countries ; that she only has reaped all the advan togas resulting from the battle of NVaterloo, the glory of which may, it is added, be contended with her ;-- and that through her power and influence the manufae tories of the Continent are rapidly going to decay and ruin.—This article is given at length in the Morning Chronicle of Tuesday last, as evincing " the intense spirit of hostility against England tvhich prevails on the Continent."—We are however somewhat sur prised that no observation or comment was made upon it ; because its statements are in direct opposition to those advanced by Mr. Brougham in his luckless speech at the close of the session : he designated Great Britain as a little military state in one corner of Eu rope; possessing no influence upon the Continent, from which, through the imbecility °lke- Ministers our ma nufactures were every were excluded ; that our marine was sinking, and that we were in fine falling from a first to u third or fourth rate power in the political scale of Europe. We will not attempt to reconcile the Ghent Journalist with Mr. Brougham ; but we will take leave to led the Morning Chronicle editors, that to cite the article in question as uffirding a proof of an " intense spirit of hostility" towards this country, is something worse than folly : it is precisely that kind of proof which the remarks in the columns of the Morn ing Chronicle present, when copied into a foreign jour nal, of the spirit of public opinion in England on the conduct of Ministers, the Suspension of the Habeas Cerpas Act, or any other public meetsure. The fact is, that this article, like many similar ones which appear in the foreign papers, emanates from the same sources as those which marked the days of Buonapurte's fiercest hostility against us ; it is the production of proscribed Frenchmen, of characters whose hatred of this country is unceasing, and never to be allayed ; they cannot think of her even without perturbation, and when they write of her it is with a pen dipped in poison, and in all that bitterness and anguish of heart with which they view their own fallen condition, and the destruction of that system they incessantly laboured to perpetuate. But what relation have such men as these with Europe at large, that their ravintne against England are to be adduced as a proof of the feelings of the Continent to wards her? Their wish is to recover the power they have lost ; theyform part of a system the object of which is to keep alive in France that hostility towanis Great Britain, which formed so prominent a feature in all Baonaparte's plans. We deny thatetuking " the Conti nent" in its largest sense, there is that spirit of hostility towards this country of which we are perpetually told. Every state, we admit, is anxious to import as few of cur manufactures as possible; and if they can dispenne with the use of them, or thereby encourage greater industry 1 1 amongst their own people, or keep the little specie left them, to repair the havoc which the war occasioned in their towns and villages, are they to be blamed for it ? is this patriotic feeling to be branded with the name of hostility to this or any other country? surely not.— Whatever disappointed or factiot.s men may-say to the contrary, we know that Europe feels, and gratefully acknowiedges all that Great Britain has done to work out her salvation ; and ages will pass away, ere her ge ner-ous example, her noble disinterestedness, or the un parallelled aehievements of her fleets and armies shall cease to" be remembered, applauded, and admired. By the Duke of Kent packet, arrived at Falmouth, we hive accounts of Tunisian pirate, of 9.0 guns, hav ing captured a Ilussian brig, off Lisbon, and taken out (excepting four men) all the crew, and ordered her fir some Barbary port. The finer men left on board watch.. ed an opportunity, and threw the pirates overboard ; they then carried the vessel safe into Lisbon. A Por tuguese frigate has also captured a private ship, of 18 guns, and carried her into Lisbon. It is said that she had fallen in with a Soauish ship, and killed the crew. The King of Portugal has prohibited Spanish' vessels fitted out in Portuguese or Brazilian ports from carry ing on the slave trade, in ports lying within that impor tant tract •of territory between the Equator and the 10th degree of Northern latitude. A contract of 400 sacks of buiscuit meal has been made at the Victualling Office, at sixty live shillings per bag—at the rate of 151. per load for wheat. The termer contract was 05s. Thus there is, by the change of the times, a present saving to Covenimenl, upon the same quantity, of 3001. -We are authorised to contradict the statement of- an important mineral . discovery on Lord Crosvcnor's F'lintshire estates, to recent discovery. of this nature having been made —Liverpool Paper. Mr. White, from the Sliadwell Police Office, has he;:n appointed to succeed Mr. Plestow, as one of the Magistrates at Queen .square. JULY SS. Py a letter from an Officer, serving with the British Army in India, dated Setapore, Oude, Feb. 14, 1817, it appears that vigorous military operations arc carrying on in India against one of the Native Chiefs, and that according to the opinion of the writer of if, there is a probability of another Mahratta war, in consequence of the facilities afforded by Scindealf to the incursions of the Piudarries on the British territories. Don Juan Boit de Apodaca, Viceroy of New Spain, has pub:ished a Proclamation, addressed to the inha bitants of those provinces, calculated to produce the happiest effects. The tone is at once firm and coneili. atory ; and expresses the confidence of the King, that the fidelity of the people will co-operate with his en. deavours to produce a total pacification "If however, adds the Viceroy, " their obstinacy compels me to forego my natural disposition, 1 shall punish those whom no. thing else can reclaim. But I hope this will not hap. pen ; for I mu firmly persu ided every one will hasten to share the benefits which this clemency of the King so generously offers to dispense to them." Paris Papers of Wednesday last arrived on Saturday morning, but their contents are quite unimportant. The reaping of wheat in the environs of Paris, is ao. tively carrying on. The Marseilles Journal states, that according to the latest news from Algiers, the plague is at this moment committing its ravages in that city. Saturday morning we received American Papers to the .25th—Canada Gazettes to the 20 ult., from which we extract the following : " General .Carrera has been denounced by the Go. vernment of Buenos Ayres, aeaused of intending to give to the United States the exclusive trade of Chili, to the disadvantage of Buenos Ayres. There is an account in the Salem Gazette, of June 21, stating, that the Royal Army, 2000 strong, under Morales, had been totally defeated by the Insurgents at a place called the Miasiona, 100 miles below Augustura. A proclamation bus been issued by the King of Pros. sia, dated ,Berlin, June 17, which chews the benevo. lent attention of his Majesty to the wants of his sub. jects. it appears that two millions of crowns were as signed by the King to purchase grain for the inhabit. ants of the provinces of the Rhine, and in Westphalia, in contemplation of an approaching scarcity, before the harvest could laird any relief: The humane intent ons of the King were, however, so tardily executed, that much misery ensued in consequence, and his Majesty ordered an immediate inquiry to be made into the eaeses of the delay, and threatened the " most severe punish ment where it shall appear that either negligence or cupi ity has prevailed." An immediate aiel taithful report upon the subject is to be made to his Majesty. The threats contained in the remonstratue of the Portuguese Minister to the Government of the United States. appear on the authority of a private letter front Lisbon, to have been enforced. A ortuguese frigate is said to I aye captured two armed vessels, in the service of the South American Spaniards, and to have condemned the crew of one of them to expiate their piracies by death. It is not stated whether these ships formed 4atrt ef that force which had been equip. ped in Baltimore and other ports of the United Stater, fr the service of Buenos Ayres, previous•to the Act ofNeutrality passed in the last Scssian of the Con. .grass. • The Barbary Powers, as if unable to endure the peace to which England has reduced them, seem resol ved to wage war against etieli other. The Regencies of Algiers and Tunis are the first to shew their rest. lessnes; ; and hostilities, though not actually corn. menced, are said to have been denounced by each against the other. There is an anecdote mentioned of the punishment of a corsair by tlus Bey of Tripoli, in consequence of his capturing, by mistake, an En glish vessel, which chews the salutary influence on the Barbary *coast, of the late chastisement inflicted on Algiers by the British squadrons. • We are not inclined, upon reflection, to accord fully with a recent letter from Florence, that British credit would buffer in consequence of the assay of our silver coin at Genoa. It is probable that the assay was cor rect. Most natural aad proper it certainly WC-8 that some such operation should take place. Every mint, and especially that of a State, whore so rainy foreign coins are current, as at Genoa. ought to ascertain and make public the intrinsic value of them all. It is un erroneous idea that exchanges between commercial countries arc in all cases regulated by the intrinsic value of the precious metals in circulation among them ; and it was a particular error of the Florentine bauker, that the value of our silver currency furnished that standard in the present instance; for ifso, tlir exchange must have risen in consequence of the issue of the new coinage, which, though inferior .to the old sterling silver which had disappeared, was in . a greater pro portion more than the current money that in circula tion. If tither metal were to be resorted to at fixing the proper par of exchange, -it must uraloubteilly be gold which is our legal standard of currency, and at the same tune is, from its intrinsic value, the .must exchangeable commodity. It is a curious fitet, that none of the info-it:l.lm Courts pay so trell to the Law . y as as, the Insolvent Court.
