Correspondent (Newspaper) - September 9, 1812, London, Middlesex SEPTEMBER I PRACTICABILITY AND We have frequently delivered our sentiments on this interesting We this week select the opinions of two writers of cm this same We copy the following from the Edinburgh Re just There is no need tff dwelling upon the ordinary to pics Connected this if peace were we should no Jonger send so many of our the hearts of thousands jnore each time the firing of cannon announced some seamen safety carry our commerce over the world deprived of the privilege of personal other things of the are no men even in an enumeration the the pro fessed of dwell upon trite sub and arrest the attention considerations never very remote But let Ux our eyes immediate effects which peace must pro duce apon the commerce and of the Does to criterion whereby he taay estimate their Let him only kmk to the him contemplate the of the re America repeal of the Orders in He will there see how repugnant war is to the happiness of In one day the whole of froma cheerless waste of and became a scene of and The of the Government did not remain a dead were not like some barren some success gained only to be looked at and talked did in a Gazette to be stared andI turned bad sentences worse come to the bosoms of cottages of the best part of the coun hundreds of thousands wot only thought that a national benefit had been what is ten thousand times they felt it in their own fox they had and and covering for themselves and their little instead of starv ing and as they had done but the moment cannot go beyond this simple appeal to recenta yet we must dwell a little longer on the The thousand ways in which trade is impeded and stunted by need scarcely to be The best trade of every country is that which it drives with the nearest foreign A trade between the provinces of the same it is of all the most The home trade is beyond all doubt more in every sense more important to a than its whole force and the trade between England and or England is scarcely leafs advantageous to than the trade between and or England and Scot No doubt advantageous to both and so must all otherwise it can benefit The consequent safety of the daki the quickness of the is the cause of great advantage of such branches of commerce it it the course of human roily and that the nearest neighbours are the most disposed to quarrel and hence we are so often deprived of our best that the general state of trade is to be the and unprofitable But it be if we only make the experiment for a few years of tot best kind carry on the commerce which the hand of nature points out to and taste for a while its boundless After twenty years enjoyment of we might again get Pampered and might contemn the source of our and feel disposed to risk its continu ance by a rupture for at least twenty is little doubt that we should feel disposed to our of gain at this copious and easy foun It is scarcely to imagine the ef which a state of uninterrupted commerce with the would produce upon the the and the happiness of this At tot time when it was our capital and cre dit had reached an unexampled so even the war could not Under all the dis advantages of universal it struggled on and What have been the consequences of a continued spring would it if that peace restored If against the most rigid police ever devised for any in the face of denunciation of fire and pur goods still find and force away through the iron coast of the enemy to the hands of their what un heard unimagined abundance must they not burst into the markets of the if those tions were at once removed I Newer they in any former time so well calculated lor this universal diffusion and if they are so much Better prepared for equally true is that at no former period was the population of the world so greedy tb receive All the measures would now work in our favor and want of British which he has inflicted upon would only make att Europe more insatiable in its demands for instant those measures were atan The imagination is lost in contemplating the immense increase of our which must instantaneously follow the cessation of hostilities between France and this Nor can it equally well pursue the infinitely varied and extensive of such an augmented commerce upon the wealth and industry of It is haird to say the the our the of would gain most by this happy But we wish to confine our attention rather to the comforts of the than to what we usually term its We wish to point in what way each man in the country would happier for a rather than to show how grand total of national wealth and disposable power would be Let us then such an increase of trade and manufactures as we by augmenting diminish the profits of the tw the consumer the price of every whether of or or Every man in or possessed of any income connected with landed and all those depending on manufacturer and all the industrious and proprietary classes of the commu including a great proportion of professions trading on skill and not on be greatly richer than they now are at tie same every every the coun find that the same a great deal further in the purchase of Men would gain in both therefore would have more money ia their pockets they would have less to pay out of their what they wanted A man who has 500ly a year would have six hundred and would same way for three hundred instead of would by the year three instead of one to provide for his and increase his income at compound interest f or indulge himself and his in this This is as undeniable an effect of any f consequence deduced by mathematical We do not argue from hence in favor of we do not say that it follows from that peace should at all events be made we are merely staling the conse quences of making it and those consequences fol low iVom the nature of the whether it be at or it de sirable aud or PEACE WITH FROM As to the political consequences battle oi the more I reflect on the moire firm is that if for at an offer on our to be not the consequence of the victory t nti good what tnit much will arise from see it the Duke d has obtained our Regents permission to serve as a volunteer iu our army in the a circumstance which corroborates ray apprehension of a to revive the claim of Bourbons in France a if seriously my opi well calculated to excite alarm ftj people of this There are persons and I know it because see their sentiments the corrupt newspapers there are who be lieve that it will NEVER be for Government of this as now to with These persons and they say if he be left Emperor of France and Italy at a no old can Coining more closely to the they that it is as for this Government to perish in an endeavor to overset Napoleon as to make peace with him because certain destruction to it follows the war against republican France had a similar It was then to be aristocracy and monarchy and eccle power might be defeated in the war against republicanism but that that was no argument against tha war they were sure to be over et by peace with the republic of this way of reasoning was then right or I will leave the history of the last twenty years to say it is odd that there should be persons to use the same sort of arguments and as ap plied to what they call a military despotism in They in afraid of the example of the French they were afraid of the example of republicans and levellers they were afraid of the contagion of anarchy and they are now afraid of they know not what for it is quite that they should be afraid that the of a military despotism in France should prove an incitement to the people of Eng land to pursue the French This is im now no to be unless it be the contagion of that military we are exists in and which example it is always in the power of our Government not to We are continually told by the hired that the government of Napoleon is a cruel despotism that the people abhor as people to abhor the despotism and the that they would fain revolt against put him their old If this be what have our establishments to fear from an and communication between the people of the two countries If this be really our Govern ment and all its establishments must gain solidity by a peace because peace could not fail to produce a great intercourse between the two The by being able to come would have opportunities of witnessing our state of and of comparing it with that of in we are told they are and the by being able to go to would have like opportunities of wit the state of the people compared with our own In proof of the facts would supplant The people of both countries would soon know the truth if the facts be as we are told if the government of France Je a despotism and the people in the deepest I that so far from being big with danger to our Government and is the very thing of all others to render them secure for these it is to me that any one person should be found in who calls himself the friend of the and at the same time expresses his disinclination to a peace with It seems to if what we are relative to the state of be that the friends of our Government ought to be the most strenuous advocates for peace with Napoleon it is very certain that they are not so that we are constrained to that these gentlemen are quite and that they do not believe France to be in so bad a state as they say she is that they are at the friends of our The intelligence which is now given us from the North of places Napoleon in a state of defeat and of is the time for ua to offer him terms of it so ob the that if the offer be not now I for my never expect tp see peace made with him by our be not the proper time to make the and 1 cannot imagine the of circumstances that would render an offer of ilie kind He at so we are beaten in the his armies are beaten in his people are rea ly to rise against and his army desert from him by tens at a All this is and asserted in the most positive our newspapers if it be when cask We expect such another sion for him terms of peace If it that alters the case this is what I say either the people of England are told most respecting the and the situation of the Emperor or this is the time for our Government to offer him terms of
