    <* rtt a vast terfitory . The subject branches out into an hnmense discussion , and it will be ably treated in both houses . Numerous petitions have been prepared from commercial towns for the opening of the trade , against which the East India Company plead , that it "will be injurious to those who embark

    in it : but of fliis question we cannot allow thein to be fair judges . We doubt , also , whether their Mameluc system is beneficial ; and whether it w « uld not be better for all parties to allow Englishmen to possess landed property in India , and engraft themselves ¦ with the natives of that extensive country .

    The dispute on the right of the Livery of London to be received by the sovereign on the throne , has been revived ; for they had a meeting , in which an address to the Regent was fcgreed to , containing many severe remarks on the conduct of ministers .

    This address was not allowed to be presented but at the levee ; and , in conse ^ jquence , at the next meeting several refblutions were entered into , which were directed to be conveyed to the Prince by the sheriffs . However , the substance of the petition and resolutions * will be laid at the foot of the throne ; for , at £

    meeting of the Cotnmon Council a siiriilar address was carried , and this is to be presented by the Mayor and Common Council , who are always received in state ; their address being read and answered . Thus the City of London has

    expressed its sentiments fully ; for the Common Hall was nearly unanimous , and all the exertions " of power and commercial influence could not produce a majority in favour of ministers in the Common Council * .

    beginning to deveiope themselves . It is stippbsed that he w ? H soon head his immense army which is uo give law to the north . The krfty Autocrat will probably be humbled , and Sweden , though protected by our fleets , must

    tremble for its existence ; though we should rather suspect , notwithstanding an etivoy from us with dollars is said to be in Sweden , that the French heir to the crov ? n will not forget that he is a Frenchman ,, nor withdraw himself from , the politics of the great nation .

    The war between the Turks and Russians is thus held in suspense , and it is evident that if the French attack the former , the latter will easily overrun again the territory tha ^ he has lost . Austria is to be cordially united with France in its new undertaking , and th £ two emperors are to have a meeting to

    plan together , most probably , a new division of territory . Thus the mighty ones of the earth go on their accustomed course , and the reign pf peace is retarded ; but as light overcame the primeval darkness , so out of this horrible confusion shall a new state arise , in which

    the heroes and great men of the present day will be considered in no berter light than boxers and prize-fighters . Sicily is not completely tranquillised . It was not likely that the late change would take place without leaving bitter remembrance in the minds of those who have

    lost their aecustomed power and influence in the government . A melancholy day has passed in Cadiz , though in the account of itrthe joy of the inhabitants was expressed by jcvery ; manifestation that could be devised : in illuminations , splendid dresses , masses and feastings . The afflictions
