UtraEl of a Utur from 1 SMtm it Bloti KiM, the Impending rupture between tb VtipU Main) to in tbi, tj, dated Our little army and the Indians on this coalt. are gill in lufpenle with refprft to the ultimate views of the Spaniard A mtflage was fent a few days ago by culo id Lowrey to the prefideit of Gnatimala, requeft iwg to kiuw if he ha received full and expreis in ltruclions from the court of Madrid, to govern him uk fiwure conduct towards the Mulquito Indians, and we are not to expefl his final anfwer unt the 8th iuttant. Ifitfhould he of a hoftile nature, the army, with all the Indians and negroes attached to it, are to jretire a piace called Brewer's Lagoon, about twenty four miles from the mouth of Black River, a very lroig, natural port, which entirely commands the navigation of two fine rivers, and with little affiftance from art, nuy be rendered ablblutely impregnable. The engineer with leverai experienced officers have already viewed the fpot, and pronounce it completely unaflaiiable, by the mod powerful force, with any prolpeft ot luccefs, provided it is properly fortified and defended." Although it remains a whether a free circu lation of Mr. Neckar's publication will be permitted, or ci ulh' in the bud yet by means of a French cor refpondent, we have ceen favoured with an extract from it, by which we may form fome idea of the power ofhisMoft Chriltian Majefty, and the many relources he has at hand.

I his wealthy kingdom (rays the financier) contains upon an average 16,000,000 cf inhabitants. Its extent is 81,000 fquare miles. The foil is proper to the cultivation ot every thing that Europe is known to produce, and boafts of fome which are peculiar to the country, a great number of navigable rivers and canals, together with near 9000 miles of open high tend to tatilime the inland trade, wlnift part of its coafts are waflied by two different teas. The climate temperate and whoiefome, might lengthen to an older age than any other part of the the lives of its inhabitants, were moral caufes to counteract the favourable influence of partial nature. Add to this, that the induftry of the French in general difplay itfelf in fo many (hapes, that this kingdom needs borrow no aiiiilance lor the refources derived from the arts and lcjencet.

Some v. colonies in the new world conftitute one part of the king's domains, from whence goods to the amount ot 110 millions of livres are imported yearly. The contribution of the people, joined to the re Venues of the crewn, the patrimonial eftates of the cities, towns, conftitute a total of 600 millions (about tj millions iterling.) The clergy's revenues may be computed at xj millions of livres annually. As to tisde, tne yearly balance is proved in our favour to a mount to 70 millions of livres, before fe breaking out of the la it war. 1 he gold and (liver coin circulated in the kingdom exceeds of livres the in create ot this wealth may be valued at forty millions per annum, and this increafe is, in all probability qual to the augmentation of the ipecies of all the Eu ropea 1 ftates put together." above ftatement, which our correfpondent fays, Vis clearly proved in the bo of the work, concludes with a reflection worthy of a true philanthropic, and which cannot but do honour the feelings of Mr.

Neckar. i What a wonderful extent of power, exclaims tins content himlclt with the improving luch profperity by the'wifeft nvans! How ftrong fuch a ihield, to refilt the workings of covetous jealuufy I And what an inex hauftible fu of regret does a prince, fo iituated, prepare for himflf, wno would dye the earth in hu.nan blood, for ot aining a trifling addition to his fuperiori ty, which is not wanted, ana can be purchafed only at the dear price of public happinefs, fufceptible of to much incrcafe and improvement A Mr. Arnoli, purfer of his Britan'c majefty's floop of war CalW, who loft one of his legs in the late war, is conftrucYmg a balloon in London, which according to his advertifement, will be the molt noble, grand, and lublime le ever exhibited, or, perhaps conceived tCe to: jugate diameter or axis of this balloon will be equal to his majelty's inip tne Koyal ueorge. an haif times more than the quantity of inflammable air contained in the balloons of Meflieurs Blanchard and Lunardi.

Nothing can put us into fuch an advantageous condition for treating with any body of foreign or as an in ternal renovation of a found conltitutiin anJ whoiefome regulation among ourlelvcs.
