IMPORTANT.
It was the beginning of last month whispered in the ministerial circles of England, that arrangements were progressing to bring Napoleon Bonaparte back from St. Helena, and confine him in England (which Bonaparte had requested.) Nothing was wanting but the consent of the Continental Powers. The government of England was seeking this consent with no little earnestness. There must be something brewing. Great checks, and balances, are important political engines. Let us wait the result and not prematurely enter into commercial speculations which may derange our operations.
