pamphlet, and more moderation as to 
politics than we expected. The confti- 
tution of America excites his warmeft 
2pprobation; he inveighs; however, a+ 
gaint its funding fyftem, and the mili- 
tary marine recently forming there. On 
the fubje€& of commercial liberty, Mr. 
Barlow has made fome fenfible obfer- 
vations, and, for the fupport of it, he 
propofes fome plaufible plans. He fug- 
gefts the eftablifhment of a maritime con- 
vention, in order to declare and gua- 
Fantee the rights of commerce; and 
propofes, that under this convention into 
which all commercial ftates fhall be in- 
vited to enter, there fhall be conftituted 
m one of the Hanfeatic towns a Chancery 
of Commerce, invefied with powers to 
determine all commercial differences be- 
tween the contracting parties : the chan- 
cery to confit of delegates from the fe- 
veral ftates, each fending one. The 
powers of this chancery, Mr. Barlow 
conceives might be advantageoufly ex- 
tended to all other branches of the rights 
of nations; in which cafe, a new code 
of publiclaw, or law of nations, would 
be agreed upon, and the conférvation of 
it be committed to the body of dele- 
gates. 
- Mr. Dattas has publifhed, with a 
granflation, the “ Correfpendence be- 
tween M. Bertand de Moleville and Mr. 
Fox,” upon his quotation from the * An- 
nals of the French Revolution.’ This 
correfpondence took place in confequence 
of an affertion made by Mr. Fox, in 
a debate in the Houfe of Commons, 
that Louis XVI. had entered into nego- 
ciation with foreign powers, to compel 
Franee, by force of arms, to renounce 
that fy ftem of internal government which 
fhe hed thought proper to adopt 5 and in 
confequence of Mr. Fox’s reference to 
MM. Moleville’s Annals for the truth of 
his affertion, M. de Moleville denies 
that any paffage in his Annals juftifies this 
charge againft the French King; Mr. 
Fox maintains the contrary, and feveral 
letrers paffed between thefe politicians 
without any fatisfa€tory concluficn. 
The pamphlets which have appeared 
pro and cov, on the fubje& of the prefent 
war, are numerous: Count Zenobio has 
written “ A Letrer”’ to Mr, Fox, on the 
prefent ftate of Europe, the reftoration 
of the Houfe of Bourbon, and peace with 
the French Republic, for which latter he 
is an ardent advocate. Mr. Annefley is 
defirous of a few more campaigns, and 
has given the public fome ‘ Obferva- 
Retro/pet? of Doinefic Literature. —Irifh Politics.

tions on the danger of a PREMATURE 
Peace!” The author of “ Forethoughts 
on the General Pacification of Europe,” 
talks very ftoutly of refufing pacification 
till there is an order of things in France 
capable of giving fecurity, that peace 
fhall be permanent: the pamphlet is 
poor and declamatery. 
The “ Subftance of the Speeches of 
Lord Auckland in the Houfe of Lords, 
May 16 and 23, 1800,” is publifhed, in 
Support of the Bili for the Punifhment 
and more efieétual Prevention of the 
Crime of Adultery. Zealous as we are 
for the punifhment and more effeétual 
prevention of the crime of adultery, we 
cannot by any means accord with the 
noble Speaker in favour of this bill, the 
merits of which were fully inveftigated ; 
and the arguments of Lord Auckland we 
think fully confuted in the fpeeches of 
Lord Mulgrave, the ‘* Subfance” of 
which is alio before the public. 
We know nothing of the authenticity 
of the following publication, the contents 
of which, if genuine, are highly curious 
and iaterefting, ‘‘ Congrefs at Raftadc.

As the Union between the kingdoms
