Full Text

The British Parliament to be in session the 6th November. From his Britannic Majesty's Speech we may expect some information of the new coalition forming in Europe to oppose the progress of French domination.

Newspaper Jacobinism is in a hectic in the United States—The saffron-coloured Aurora, enveloped in murky clouds, and deceptive fogs, is now the only harbinger of delusive mock-suns. Old Argus, who once had pretensions to an hundred eyes is now a cyclop with one, and that blurry :— and the Chronicle—alas! "sans wit —sans sense—sans sous."

The Jacobins mutter about the commerce of the United States, with England, as disadvantageous. If it were necessary to notice such blockheads, it would not be malapropos to say, that the Exchange between the two countries is from five to seven per cent, in our favor. No bad thermometer of the state of trade.
