Joseph Bonaparte’s return to Paris, is sta

French coast, to be preliminary to the de_

to be. proclaimed king of Spaiu. We attach 1
no credit to this statement. That Joseph
Bonapcrte will never return to Madrid, and
that his brother will unking him, ts very
probable—Equally prubable is it, that Hi i»

Empire, and himself sovereign of it. Wc
remember a memorable threat he nee d

Joseph’s government. “ If you do not ike

like Joseph, is pretty evident—that hey
like him still less, is equally clear—and spue l

Whitbread observed_ *
’* VVit1' aspect «o America also, the house
had fesnlved “ that the intercourse with
that country wa-> uncertain and interrupt
ed. It oust be recollected, that a lew
year* ago we had been told by the authors
and mIlocates of the Orders in Council, that
the uade with America would not be mucR
affee'ed by th m ; that trade would foice
its own way ; that Ameiita would soor\
see her true interests , and that our inter
course wiili that country would remain un*
diminished. America, at that time, told
tms country, that it she persisted in orders
so contrary to the rights of independent iu
Sions, -he wjuld suspend the intercourse be
tween the tarn countries. The authors of
our Orders in Council anticipaied no evils
iioiu tliis measure ; but the distress ol our
manufacturers now clearly proved that t r< a«
evils had resulted tr m it, and that the’loss
o' the American market had been severely
leit in tms country. No man attempted to
t cny the suffering* of our manufacturers, or
to say, that they were overstated, m thciy
petition. 1 heir misery was sufficiently well
known to the world, nnd tlie only r- ason al
leged t r not going into a committee, was
the impossibility of giving them any substan
tial renet. f the nquiry should, however,
nov tvkep'acc, ue hoped that it might still
oe possible tu prevail upon imnisteis to re
trace the i step* *ilh respect to America,
and to re open that market to our exerts.
\ve ban o er. often told, that it was ,m
possible to repeal those Orders in Council,
until the french decrees should have ./ver*
repeated. If, however, me Berlin ami
Milan d .trees were n -w ac tually rent U
ed, why not repeal the Orders in Council ?
