The Bank of the United States of America has refused to pay in specie, their dividencə on all the stocks, except the bank shares and Louisiana stock, in consequence of the coine of exchange being so much against that country. This is a proof of their violent hostility against this country; but we have every hope that as soon as the transactions in Spain are known in America, this disposition will abate, especially as Buonaparte has recently ordered a fresh embargo; and also the condemnation of the American ships in his possession, which the French are now actively proceeding in.

STATE OF TRADE. Lloyd's Coffee House, August 20, 1808. -Since our last report we have the pleasure to announce the arrival of a large East India fleet, a Jamaica, Leeward Island and Mediterranean fleet. That from the East Indies consists of the following ships, viz. The City of London, Marquis Wellesley, Lord Duncan, Castle Eden, Lady Castlereagh, and Surrey, from Bengal; Windham from Bengal and Bencoolen; Lord Hawkesbury, Earl Howe, Airly Castle, from Fort St. George and Colombo; and Metcalfe, Devonshire, and Charlton, from Bombay, with a fleet from the South Seas, sailed from Point de Galle 14th March, and St. Helena 19th June. Their cargoes consist of: Bengal muslins, 33,000 pieces; callicoes, 130,714; prohibited goods, 48,232. Madras callicoes, 86,208; prohibited goods, 43,692. Bombay callicoes, 6,650; prohibited goods, 113,647. Company's raw-silk, 801 bales; opium, 30 chests; indigo, 1,575 chests; lead, 1 box; cinnamon, 4,654 bales; hemp, 240 bales; kèmoo shells, 48; cotton, 677 bales; saltpetre, 50,960 bags: fused ditto, 1,278 blocks; sugar, 4,531 bags; pepper, 3,400,483 The last Mediterranean fleet brought into Ib.; ditto white, 144,108.

It is a satisfaction to us to state the arrival of a fleet from Oporto, laden with wine, and that several ships have sailed thence within a few days past, so that in spite of Buonaparte's stratagems the trade to Oporto goes on as usual, without any interruption whatever. A number of ships have likewise sailed for Cadiz, Malaga, and other parts of Spain, and we trust it will not be long ere we see vessels clearing out for Lisbon, &c. The commerce with South America has most fortunately already set the Manchester looms to work, whereby thousands of our countrymen will have their usual full employ. At Rochdale the demand for baizes for the same country, has been so great that it will be nearly six months ere the present large orders can be executed. Leeds, Halifax, Manchester, Nottingham, &c. &c. &c. &c. are all at this moment full of

Wools continue very low from the great quantity on hand; but we are happy to say a considerable degree of activity now prevails among the manufacturers of Yorkshire; and in the London market, the merchants are at present making large purchases of baizes, serges, flannels, Yorkshire cloths for Spain, Portugal, and South America. The large importations of tallow lately made from the Brazils has lowered the price of soap, and candles, and we sincerely hope that a still further reduction will take place in those necessary articles.. Large quantities of barilla, have lately arrived from different parts of Spain, particularly from Gibraltar and Sicily, and additional supplies may be daily expected from Alicant and Carthagena, &c. &c. &c.

Several Greenland-men have lately arrived at Hull, Whitby, &c. with full cargoes, which no doubt will reduce the present high price of whale-oil, &c.

In the general opinion, our implacable enemy has done his worst, the deep darkness of night is past; the clouds are dissipating, streaks of light appear; their refractions gratify us; and Jocund Day stands tip-toe--but, it is, on the vet misty mountain's top." The morning itself has its glooms, its obscurities, its uncertainties, even its shades; and those who have seen the clouds of the morning, gathering, roiling, spreading, enveloping all around, will wait till they are elevated by the effalgent sun, ere they pronounce on the beauty

of the day.

Our Report of the State of Trade for this month may with propriety be taken as a part of our Political Periscope; it gives us infinite pleasure to find by it, that the remedy for the discontents among our manufacturers, is found in labour and diligence, and that labour and diligence have scope for their exertions for six months to come.

What the ensuing six months may produce, it is impossible to foresee; but if they equal the last six months in important events, and in events equally favourable to British interests, they will deserve a distinguished place in our annals. If other nations on the continent, should, in imitation of the Spanish nation, resume their connection with Britain, and exert themselves con animo to break the yoke under which insatiable ambition has subjected them, if they rouse their faculties, and behave with the spirit of resolute and enfranchised men, then will the time approach, with a rapidity which is proverbial of time, when we shall have to add our congratulations to those of other well-wishers to the human race, and we shall once more be hold friendship, brotherly kindness, and charity, predominating among the sons of men: then will be " jocund day," indeed.

We indulge such anticipations with pleasure: but the means of obtaining them, the labours that must previously be undergone,these may not be overlooked by the wary politician. A just summary of circumstances as they stand, while it excites joy, is not without a something to justify apprehension. The Spanish patriots have atchieved great things, in forcing the French admiral Rosilly, with five sail of the line, and a frigate, to surrender, in Cadiz harbour; in surrounding the French general Dupont, at Andujar, who

which certainly has deprived France of native troops to a number exceeding 50,000 men, and has subjected her arms to an incalculable loss, in the disgrace that has befallen them, and the dissolution of that charm which, in the eyes of the ignorant, surrounded their proceedings. It will be recollected, that the vessels lost to France, are the remains of that fleet which fought at Trafalgar; so that, France has had the singular misfortune to lose two complete fleets; that which she fitted out for the conquest of Egypt, and that, with which, in conjunction with the Spanish, she hoped to conquer-Nelson. Not one ship of either of these fleets has returned to its national port: a very uncommon circumstance!

As to the character of the French troops taken, or destroyed, we see no reason to suspect them of diminished bravery, or their generals of diminished skill: they fought; even when hope must have been in the wane, they fought: but against the ability and bravery of their antagonists, and adverse circumstances, principally owing to the immaturity of their plans, they fought in vain. While these events were passing in the South of Spain, the North of Spain was held in uneasy quiet by the troops of France, and by its proximity of that power. Not that its population was insensible to its condition, but that it was overloaded with French forces, which possessed all the strong holde, and to have revolted without a prospect of success, was not justifiable: to wait in hope the issue of events, was better policy than to give way to the roxysms of despair.

These considerations account for the safe advance of Joseph Buonaporte from Bayonne to Burgos, and from Burgos to Madrid. In this capital he arrived about the 29th of July, with his suite of ministers and statesmen. We pay no attention to the professions, and to the first bows, of a new king, a king raised from nothing to occupy a throne: they are matters of course. But, it is proper to remark that his new Catholic Majesty had no time for deeds: in a day or two after his arrival, information reached him of Dupont's disaster: and measures were immediately taken for evacuating Madrid. He left that city in the night between the 29th and 30th, taking the route of Segovia. Of his subsequent movements little is authentically stated. We hardly know how to credit all that report has charged him with during his short residence

at Madrid: but those who believe report, af- | of. the Spaniards, and those posted too distant firm, that a character like his is well described by our poet Spencer :

For nishacke a heavy load he bare Of mighty strength, and pillage severall, Which de nad got abroad by purchase criminall. He was to vecte a stout and sturdy thiefe, Wont to robbe churches of their ornaments, And poor mens' boxes of their due relief, Which given was to them for good intents: The holy saints of their rich vestiments He did disrobe, when all men carlesse slept, And spoil'd the priests of their habiliments; Whiles none the holy things in safety kept. Then he by cunning slights in at the window crept. Portugal is at this moment the subject of expectation: Great Britain has sent thither a well appointed army, under an active general and the importance attached to his success is very great. We have been favoured with an inspection of a private map of the city and its adjacencies, and with explanations; from which we gather that some time may yet elapse before this expedition has accomplished its purpose. Anxious as we are for its success, in common with all our countrymen, we have derived this advantage from our knowledge of the localities, that we acquiesce in the sentiment of the proverb

enough, if well enough."

As to Napoleon, the prime instigator of these calamities, he quitted Bayonne directly after his brother had advanced for Madrid, mnade a show of himself at several of the towns on the coast; and arrived at St. Cloud August 14th; just in time to behold the celebration of his birth day, on the 15th-which we leave him to enjoy "with what appetite he may."

from the coast to meditate a similar exploit, are, no doubt, of the same Besh and blood. This event cannot be concealed from them: neither can it be so completely concealed from the continent, as other events have been: neither can other troops, forced into the service of Buonaparte, fail of considering it as an example to be, imitated on the first promising opportunity. If it may be connected with a forbearance on the part of the Danes, with an avowed intention on the part of the Spanish deputies in England, that one of their number should visit Petersburga, and with the rumours of a pacific disposition prevailing in the north, then it acquires still credit to these rumours; because, we have attach some greater importance; and we always understood that the nobility of Russia depended for their incomes on the sale of the produce of their estates; and having now no purchasers for this produce, their interest leads them to regret the advantages they have ever reaped fror, British connections, which, of course, they wish to see renewed. We know too, that some of our Russia houses have left agents, or partners, in that country, for the purpose of availing themselves of the that such an opening would not be very disfirst favourable opening; in full confidence tant. The languid conduct of the war by Russia against Sweden, the recent movement of the Russian fleet from Cronstadt only to Revel, the collecting of Russian armies where Sweden cannot be the object,-these are so many inducements to us in attaching credit to rumours that the Gallicism of this court is ebbing.

It is now publicly acknowledged that Caulincourt, the French ambassador at Petersburgh, and the assassin of the duke D'Enghien, follows the emperor Alexander as constantly and as closely as his shadow of this the emperor has expressed his dislike: Caulincourt pleaded the positive orders of his mas

It must be owned, that these are dangerous neighbours to Austria: as they are also to Russia: the position of affairs in this quarter is critical; a wrong step will render them desperate.

We figure to ourselves the effect that would be felt by this ambitious nadman on the arrival of intelligence of those incidents that recently had befallen liis forces. Whether he knew of Dupont's surrender is uncertain: we rather think, he did not. As it took place on the 20th July, and as the communication with France was interrupted, he could hardly be acquainted with it in less than a month: we should not wonder if it proved, that he received this news on his birth day fête. About the same period, nearly ten thousand of the Spanish troops that he had decoyed from Spain, liberated themselves from his tyraney, and with their commander at their head, quitted his standards, and declared for their own country.

:

Sweden maintains her hostility against

France; and defends herself against Russia. Denmark maintains her hostility against Britain but the French have taken such complete possession of Holstein, that, it is thought, the king of Denmark discovers, that they could have done no more had they been his enemies.

South America is looked to with great anxiety, by the parties struggling for the Spanish crown: Buonaparte had attended to them with exemplary vigilance: that chief had sent of several advice boats (we believe five) with intelligence and orders to his friends in the Spanish colonies of these, the British have taken four, and they hope to anticipate the fifth. A few days may probably inform the public that Joseph Buonaparte has never been king of Sonth America.

The Brazils continue peaceable: long may they continue so: and long may the Prince reign deservedly in the hearts of his people. North America perseveres in her embargo. We have never seen the weakness of this step. We give America credit for continuing it. But, the connections of Britain are forming in other places, and those commodities for which some parts of her empire have hitherto depended, considerably, and herself, partially, on American produce have, been replaced in part, and may be ultimately in toto, from the produce of British industry elsewhere. Flour and lumber have not risen in our West India islands to the enormous prices anticipated by apprehension: Canada has afforded some supply: Nova Scotia some supply: the islands themselves have directed their labour to the raising of provisions: and they have all the prospect of an ample and plentiful importation of rice, of salted meats, &c. from Brazil. This we ventured formerly to predict; and we trust that our predictions will prove to have been founded on good authority. In short, the goods that America might by this time have demanded from Britain, will now be in demand by other quarters so that the absence of her orders, we trust, from henceforth, will not be felt, among our population, though certainly, it must be, among the merchants who dealt

with that Continent.

The British possessions in India are quiet: an embassy is sent to the court of Persia, and this, with other steps taken to counteract the schemes meditated against British In India, we trust will prove successful. short, India, as well as other parts, will experience relief from the employment Buonaparte may find at home.-At home!-We close by repeating this expression: as the French revolution begun in an extraordinary manner, was promoted and fed by extraordinary means, so there is more than a bare possibility, that it may end too, in an extraordinary manner.

We presume not to say, that such an event is near; but we venture to say, that it may be nearer than some think for :-Events of such a description commonly occur when least expected.

But, without anticipating such an entire close of European difficulties, we may be allowed to consider the aspect of the time, as it affects our own country, as now considerably more favourable than it has been: our hope is, that the morning has broke upon Europe, from a quarter, and by a means unexpected; and that, to Europe, as well as to Britain, relief will issue in deliverance, that scenes of prosperity are approaching, introductory to which

Since the above remarks were written, we learn that it is positively affirmed that Lucien Buonaparte, undoubtedly the wisest of the family, who has constantly refused the sovereignties offered him by his brother, has solicited from Great Britain protections We have seen calculations by which it for his passage to America.

We give no opinion on these statements, at present: but, we are decidedly of opinion, that she will with great difficulty, if at all, recover and rejoin those connections in trade which she has lost and this will prove to be her heaviest detriment--a detriment, not to be obliterated for years to come: this she has

The latest intelligence states an insurrection against the French in the province of Biscay: we hope it is general, and if spirit may render it formidable, it will not want for spirit. As this province commands the western passes into Spain, its accession at this moment is of superior consequence. IT DECIDES THE FATE OF ALL THE FRENCH IN SPAIN: and it will, if judiciously directed close those passes against the entrance of reinforcements.
