When Buonaparte observed that the power of Britain rested on the profits derived from three or four vegetables, scarcely known a century ago; he said no more than was true, though the truth was distorted by his vexation. Other powers, also, derive great gains from some of these plants: among others it is understood, that the manufacture of Tobacco into segars for smoking, and into snuff in the territory of New Spain, which is a royalty strictly maintained by the crown, is extremely productive. The amount is not less than 253,100/. sterling. The manufactorics of Mexico and of Guetaro are the most considerable. The present disturbed state of that country, does not allow us to conjecture what portion of this revenue, really curiches the coffers of the King of Spain. AMERICA: UNITED STATES. Acknowledged justice of Military Retaliation. One of the American Papers, answers Mr. President Madison's late Proclamation thus. The President says, the enemy wantonly destroyed the public edifices, having no relation in their structure to operations of war; and adds, that the destruction was under the insulting pretext of retaliation, for a wanton destruction committed by the army of the United States in Upper Canada,' &c.-Is it supposed that the capture of York is already forgotten? York was the capital of Upper Canada, and there all the public buildings were destroyed, including the Capitol, where a scalp was found in the Executive and Legislative Chamber, suspended near the Speaker's Chair, in company with the mace and other emblems of royalty. [Vide Dearborn's Letter.]-This destruction was not only never shown to be unauthorised,' but was the theme of continued exultation during the whole of the second year of the war. We regret as much as Mr. Madison himself the destruction of the costly monuments of taste and of the arts at Washington, and more particularly of the public. archives, because we fear that the conflagration has removed evidence of the 'origin of transactions,' which ought to be preserved; but complaint certainly_comes with an ill grace from the Captain General of our armies, under whose auspices similar atrocities have been committed.

They are even said to have possession of some of the most fertile districts in that country. Their troops, posted at all the stations where there are wells, on the skirts of the deserts, either lay under contribution or cut off the caravans going from the borders of the Persian gulf to Medina and Mecca. A mixed caravan of traders and pilgrims, amounting to 1200 persons, having recently made some resistance, or refused to submit to the composition re Population decreased and repaired. The devastation committed by Bonaparte individually upon the living race of man, is a mischief at which humanity will sigh the most, but which nature will soonest repair. The population of Ghent has sunk under its withering influence, from nearly one hundred to less than sixty thousand souls: that of Brussels from ninety to sixty-six thousand. The peace, it is thought, has already added or brought back four thousand to this latter city. DENMARK. Commerce.-Copenhagen, Oct. 7.-In Sep- FRANCE.

No periodical journal or manuscript shall be published at Paris, reckoning from the 1st November 1814, and in the Departments, reckoning from the 1st December following, unless it has obtained the authority prescribed by Article 9 of the aforesaid law. 2. This authority shall be granted and may be withdrawn, viz:-For the daily journals at Paris, by the DirectorGeneral of the Police; and for all other periodical journals and writings which shall be published in the kingdom, by the Director-General of the bookselling trade. "3. The Director-General of Police and the Director-General of the Bookselling Trade shall respectively watch over the journals which they authorize. "Given at Paris, Oct. 23, 1814. It is understood that the famous son of Nimrod, Col. Thornton, has experienced some disappointment. He had hired a country-house in the neighbourhood of Rouen, which city was completely in an uproar on the day when his attendants, estimated by the beholders at some hundreds of dogs, some scores of horses, and some dozens of jockies, grooms, whippersin, helpers, and keepers, made their triumphant entry, and passed through the narrow streets of that ancient metropolis of Normandy, in full cavalcade. But, whisper affirms, that the laws against trespassing on private grounds, now reviving with vigour, have opposed in this civilized country obstacles to the colonel's movements, and exploits,-unmoveable obstacles! which it is thought, he would not find amid the extensive wilds of a Polish forest, or the steppes of Tartary. But, this may be brought to the test of experience: if the Col. still envies the gratification of hunting the wild bull, the savage wolf, or the obstinate and ferocious boar. What may not the ruling passion accomplish? GERMANY. Leipsic.-Hamburgh, Oct. 18, 1814.—“ The Anniversary of the Glorious Battle of wishes of the Hamburghers, who are as (Signed) "D'AMBRAY." French Knighthood. It appears from the Paris Papers, that an income of 3000 francs a year is necessary to qualify a man for the order of knighthood.

It is difficult to determine whether it is proper to denote the present crowd of English in France, travellers, or visitors. Certain it is, that the French begin to draw from them, and their manners, very advantageous speculations in the way of Commerce! An Englishman, whose name is not publicly mentioned, has fallen distractedly-others say, mortally in love with the handsome Lemonade-seller: he has taken apartments in the Palais Royal, for the gratification of neighbouring gardens supplied the inhabitants with the remaining shrubs and flowers of a favourable autumn, to decorate their windows to advantage.

"A new play, by Klingemann, was admirably performed, and M. Herzfeld, the manager, spoke an occasional prologue in the character of Duke Leopold of Austria; the name of the play is German Fidelity, in which the author has combined fine writing with patriotic expressions, which were received by an enraptured audience.— The stage of the Theatre, and General Bennigsen's box, were decorated in a masterly style. An ode and a poem, from the pens of Pretzel and Zimmerman, appeared in the morning paper, and although the Danes had no share in this victory, the President of Altona, M. Blucher, gave orders to illuminate. From the accounts received from various parts of Germany, the rejoicing is, no doubt, universal. At the Town House there was a grand feast, as usual on such occasions; the Hamburgh Senate are not behind hand in extrava gance and luxury, imitating the City Aldermen and Common Council-men of London, who are never tired of a greasy chin.

In general the Embden and Dutch busses have had very moderate success." Benevolent Institution.--Dusseldorf, Oct 3. -A society of Germans, both men and women, has formed itself, to prepare peaceful and agreeable retreats for the warriors returned from the holy contest, who, by their wounds, sickness, weakness, or age, are incapable of procuring a livelihood.
