" The higher the value in which the EMPPROR htli the amity of hi. BRITANNIC MAJEfoTY, the keener the regret he mult feel at the complete alie nation of that Monarch. " Twice has the Emperor taken up arms in a caufe in which the intetells of England were moil im mediately concerned—but he has folicited to no pnr pore her co operation t, promote the accomplifhment of her own objeos. He did not require the I b onid unite her forces with his—he was anxious only the thould make a diverfion in their favour. He was allonithed that in the fitriherance of her own caufe The herfelf would make no exertion. On the con trary, the looked on a cold fpeeattix ~ t the langui• nary theatre of the war, which fhe had herfelf k•nd -led, and fent a part of her troops to attack Buenos Ayres. " Another portion of her army, which Teemed to be defined to make a diverfion in Italy, finally with drew from Sicily where it v. as affembled, Hopes were eatertained that they had taken that tier, in order to throw themfelves on the Neßpolitan coati, but it was foon underflond that they were employed in taking poffeilion of Egypt. _ 66 But what moll ferilibly hurt the feelings of his IM►ARIAL MAJESTY wag, to fee that in violation of the faith and expels Ilipul•uions of treaties, Eng land annoyed the maritime trade of his fuhjefl6; and at what period was this pr..,,zaing adopted ? When the blood of the Ruffians was flowing in the glori• ous battles which accumulated and direited againfi the armies of his IMPIKrAL Mai tsrv, the whole of the military force of his Mejetty the Emperor of the Faamcu, with whom England was. and nal is, at war 44 Wh en t h e t wo Emp er ors made peace, his Ma jelly, notwithstanding his juii caufes of difpleafure at the coodu& of England, did not, however, refrain from endeavouring to tender her fervices. The Em pe•or Ilipulated in that very Treaty that he (hoold interpnfc his mediation between England and France —and he accordingly wade an offer of that media tion to the King of GakAT Barrats, apprifing him that it was with a with to obtain honourable condi tions for him. But the Britith Miniflry, adhering, no doubt, to the plan that was to diffblve and break off all the ties between It offia and England, rejeaed that mediation. The Peace between Raffia and France was likely to bring about a G:neral Peace, but it was at this in.,nrent that England filddenly awoke from that ap parent lethargy in which Ike had slumbered—though it eras only to throw into the Nerth hat fire brands, which were to rekindle, and have actually kindled, the flames of war which the was delimits not to fee extingnifhed. " Her fleets, her troops, appeared on the Danith Coatis, to execute an a& of violence of which balmy, Co fruitful in examples, records no parallel. A Poser ditlinguned fol its peaceful and mo derate conduel, and for a lung and unespcacd courfe of wife neutrality, and who fullained, amida fur rounding Monarchic , . a kind of moral dignity, finds itfelf treated as if it was engaged in feaect plots. and was meditating the downfal of England—while the whole of there imputations were only meant to juilify the rudder) and entire fpoliation of that Power. 66 The Emperor, wounded in his dignity, wound. cd in the affeainn he feels for his people, wounded in his engagements with the Cuurts of the North, by this as of violence committed in the Baltic, a dole lea, the tranquillity of which has fo long depended on the Court of St. Jaime., and is reciprocally pa rant eed by both Powers, did not diffemble his relent ment againi England, and warned her that the ihould not remain indifferent to fuch a proceeding. " His Majeßy did not ferefce, that while England, having fuccefsfully employed her forces, was on the point of feizing on her prey, the would offer a frets, outrage to Denmark, in which his Majelly was to bear a part, 6I Newproofitions, Dill more infidious than thole made at firfl, were made to Denmark, which aimed at binding down to England that Power thus fubju gated, degraded, and applauding, as it were, every thing that had happened. " Still lets did the Emperor forefee that it would be propofed to him to guarantee that fubmiffion, and to promife that that at of violence &fluid nut be attended with any mifchievous confequence to Eng land. u The Englifh Ambafrador learns to have imagined that he might venture to propole to the Minifter of the Emperor, that his Imperial Majefty fhould un dertake the apology and defence of a proceeding which his Majefly had In openly condemned. To this llep on the part of the Cabinet of St. James's, his Majefty has thought proper to pay only that at tention which it deferved, and has deemed it high time to fat limits to his moderation. 4 4 The Prince Royal of DINMARIC, endowed with a charailer full of nohlenefs and energy, and having been bided by Panvmsoca with a foul as elevated as his rank, had apprized the EMPHICOR, that, jualy enraged againft what had recently happened at Copenhagen, he had not ratified the Convention refpetling it, and that he confidered it as null and void. 1 ‘ That Prince has jull now acquain'ed his MA • JESTY with the new propofitions that have been made to him, and which are of a nature rather to provpke his refinance than to appeafe his refentment, for they tend to Ramp on his actions the teal of degradation, the imptefs of which they never will exhibit. " The EMPEROR, (truck with the confidence which the Patrice Royal. placed in him, having moreover confidered his own grounds of diffatisfaelion with England, having attended to his engagements with the Powers of the North—engagements entered into by the Emprefs CAT H ERIII E, and by his late Imperial MAJESTY, both of glorious memory, has refolved upon fulfilling them. HIE IMPkItIAL MAJESTY breaks off all commu nication with England : he recalls his Embaffy from that Court, and will not all.sw any Amhara. dor from her to continue at his Court. There shall htncef , rward exit no relations between the two Countries. " The EMPEROR declare. that be abrogates for ever every aa hitherto concluded between Great Britain and Kuala, and particularly the Convention c.ncluded in 1801. He proclaims anew the princi ples of the armed neutrality, that monument of the wifdom of the Emprefs CAT 14ARI NE, and binds him. fell never to recede' from that fyltera. " He calls upon England to give complete fatisfac• tion to his lubjcas, with refpea to all the juft claims they may let up, of (hips and merchandizes feized and detained contrary to the exprefs tenor of the treaties concluded during his own reign. " The Est vi 'tot gives warning, that nothing (hall be re•eltablifhed between Rufla and England, until the latter (hall have given fatisfaaion to Denmark. " The EMPEROR expeas, that his BRITANNIC MA• sry, intlead of pet mining his Miniliers to fcatter frefh feeds of war, in compliance only with his own feelings, will be induced to conclude a Peace with his Majetly the EMPEROR of the Patric', which would be extending,iu a manner, to the whole world, the inetlimable bleffings of Peace. ,‘ When the EMPEROR fhall be fati►fied upon all thefe poiirs, and efpecially upon that of a peace between France and England, without which no part of Europe can expetl to enjoy any real tran quillity, his IMPERIAL MAJESTY will then willingly return to the relations of amity with Great Britain, which in the [late of jolt refentment which the EM PE K flonld feel, he has maintained, perhaps, too long."

Let the country prepare to call into aaivity its phyfical ftrength, by putting an end to that fyliem oft:elution which only tends to alienate the affeEtions of a great clefs of our fellow-citizens from that Government which we have all a common interell in fupporting. The jargon with which fome Prints endeavour to fatisfy the appetites of their gilidnuncs, reminds us of the pettifogging Attorney who fed his client with words, inftead of preparing evidence for his acquittal? —•' How could ycu negleO an affair in which I am fo deeply interelled, after denting me to leave it wholly to your management ?"—" I have done ever y thing for the heti : depend on my word—they can • not hurt a hair of your head"—" Hair of my head ! they may have it all and welcome—but my life, Sir, my life, was entrufted to your care !"—" Keep your (Weary, my good friend; you are quite fafe in my ' hands."—" Safe 1 I was tried this mr:rning—and am to be hanged tomorrow !"—" Impollible ! they dare not hang you—lf they prefume to do fo, I (hall in dift the Judge and Jury for murder !" We have learned from a refpeCtable quarter, that the Treaty of Partition of the Tut kith Empire has been figned and ratified. The three Powers int zr cited are France, Auflria, and Runt. France is to re ceive for her (hare the provinces bordering on the Adriatic, the Seven Iflands, the Mom, and Egypt. Auntie isto get Servia, Bofnia,and part of Wallachia. And to the lot of Rullia will fall the other part of Wallachia, Be4farabia, Moldavia, and the !nand of Candia. The deftiny of Conftantinnple is laid not to be fixed ; but in a divilion of fpnil among three parties of very unequal firength, it requires no great fagacity to divine, that the difputed lot will even tually fit!! to the (hare of the ftrongelt. dII RICO.
