Thai hate and indignation will make
them withhold all commercial facilities
from France, and thus she will at once be
excluded from all participation in the com-
merce with the Brazils. In strict alliance
and amity with this country, the Portuguese
government will Often new sources to our
commerce the trades of the Brazilswill derive
from our power resources & activity, an ex
tension, a spirit and a vigor, winch it never
possessed before - Thus the transfer of the
Portuguese government to the Brazils will
throw the Brazils open almost exclusively to
Greas-Britain. Does Bonaparte see too no
danger to the Spanish possessions in South
America, by fixing a branch of the royal
family of Spain in Soutjiv America, possessed
of a navy of about forty ships of war, and
closely allied with such a power as England ?
,.s far therefore, as we have been able hi- I
therto to consider the subject, we think G. j
Britain more likely to be benefited by the j
measure to which Bonaparte has driven the
royal family of Portugal than France. But
there is one point of view in which bis poli
cy ought to be contemplated—as far as he
possibly can he will get rid of all the an
cient royal families upon the continent. By
the removal of the Braganxa family, h# will
have banished out of Europe one of the an-
cient royal families of Europe. Let the roy-
al family of Spain look to itself. Short
will be the interval between the expatriating
the Braganza family and the dethronement
of the Bourbon.
Oct. 10.
Lieutenant General Sir John Cradd ck
does not come home, but is to retain the
chief command wnthe Madras side of India.
On the 5th ult. the day of the return of
the Imperial guards and garrison of Peters-
burijh (about 11,000 men) to that city from
the thealre of the war, the emperor went to
meet the pr? cession, accompanied by the
French ambassador Genera) Savary. This
minister of Bonaparte rode on the right hand
of the Emperor, and engrossed all his con-
versation. The Austrian Ambassador was
also near the Emperor but was not at all
attended to, nor indeed was any other per-
son in the Imperial train. Savary was in a
military dress of the most jior^eotts desenp.
tion. He far outshone the Emperor; every
eye was fixed on him ; every one appeared
to look upon him as the principal person
present ; and all seemed ready to make the
mistake which the wife of Darius had fat-
merry done, to fall down and worship him
for Alexander. But while this was goicg
on. the Russian nobility had pressed and
brought forth, almost by compulsion, Lord
Granville Levison Gower, our dignified and
much respected Ambassador, from the re-
tirement in which he had resolved to pass a
day signalized by the prevalence of French
interest ; they placed him in a conSpicuoas
situation in the front of the Senate house,
to view the procession as it passed. A
grand dinner was afterwards given exclu-
sively in honour of Lord Gower, at which
the Emperor Alexander expressed great dis-
pleasure, sayii'g he did not require such a
comp'ement for the Ambassador of France,
but he could not approve of so invidious a
distinction being shewn to the British Am-
bassador.
With the dispatches brought to govemi-
ment en Wednesday from Petersburg, a
number o! private letters "¦ere received.—j»
By these we learn, that the intelligence of
the surrender of the Danish fleet to the Bri-
tish forces, was first c mmunicated in that
city by an American captaii* ; and the cir-
cumstance:, being exaggeratedi theexchauge
up n England fell horn thirty to twenty-four.
Subsequent official advice, however, inform-
ed the Russian government of the real ob
ject of the expedition, end the actual situa-
tion of affairs ; in consequence of which
the exchange recovered to 244 and 25. It
is stated in one of the letters, that a Couri-
er had arrived from France with a dispatch
from Bonaparte, 111 which he complains of
thclatdinessof the emperor Alexander, in the
pcrf rma«ce of many of the secret articles
of the treaty of Tilsit; assuring him at the.
same time, that the French troops could
not be removed from Polandiiritil all the
stipulations of that treaty were fully per-
formed.

fantry, &c. ; 121 lieut. field marshals ; and
2;i! major generals, including nine grand
crosses, and 241 commanders and knights of
the order of Maria Theresa. The infantry
consists of 63 regiments of the line ; one
regiment »f Jagers, and 37 frontier regi-
me-is, infantry and cavalry ; 8-regiments of

horse ; 12 of hussars, and 8 Uhlans ; besides

Monday last being St. Andrew's day,
was celebrated by the Si. Andrew's society
of this city, with that decent and well tem-
pered hilarity which reflects honor on the
highly respectable members of that charita-
ble and praiseworthy institution. The plea-
sure mutually felt and conferred by the so-
cial collection of citizens whose object is to
relieve the wants of the distressed, was
much increased from an investigation of
the annual report of the application of the
funds, and the certainty that a number of
poor, though worthy objects, had already
experienced relief from the institution.
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year :

At half past three o'clock, the society
having finished their usual business, the
members sat down to an elegant and plen-
tiful dinner, provided by Mr. Peck at whose
hotel the sociity assembled. After dinner,
the following toasts were drank, each suc-
ceeded by a national or other admired song:
1. The day, and all who honor it.
2. The land O'Cakes.
3. The land we live m.
4. The President of the United States.
5. The memory of General Washing-
ton.
6. The navy and army of the United
,-States.
7. Agriculture and Commerce—the twin
sisters.
8. Wisdom to our Rulers to discern the
true interests of our country, and firmness
to pursue it.
9. Attachment to. our native country &
fidelity to the-land we live in.
10. All national Societies—May their
chief aim be that of doing good.
11. Scotchmen and Scotchmen's beirns,
and a' them wha' lie in Scotchmen's arms.
12. The Beggar's beanisMU.
13. Goerdie M'Gieeger's Maleson—we
wish nae ill to any body, but if any wish
ill to us to them be it.
14. A' the bonny lasses that play among
the heather—weal tim'd daffin.

ment is better than riches.
16. The American Fair.

Field Artillery. Whilst our natural enemies
were known to be on terra finn.i. we were
turning all Our attention to defence on tlic
wsiter He contended, that musKa ts i.i the
hands o''ourcitizens, and cannon on our shores,
were tiie proper methods of defence. There
was another measure, he said, which oug-iitta
be a, (opted previous to any step for the defence
of the nation—a me:.sure 0! juatice—-a mea-
sure which would hot only entitle us to success,
but which was uaiineiu.y calculated to ensure
it -a measure which would unite all hear.s an J

house should no longer permit the nation to
