could, in the mean while, prepare and augment its ' forces, and if the lime of things thould, in other re fpefts, remain unaltered. But, while Europe temporifes, Bonaparte's Go vernment acquires every day new debility. His power increofes by the fubjugation and new organi zation of all Lombardy and Parma. The relative geographical advantages can undergo no change favourable to Audria ; but, in feel, the contrary.— Befides, there can he nothing more dangerous than the policy of the French Government, which has ever gained more by negotiations than by its arms. If we enumerate the battles of the lad war, the French loft as many as they gained. It is always in the intervals between one great period and another, in (colons of infincere, nominal peace, that they enlarge their dominions. We are therefore firmly perfuaded, that the Court of Vienna, if it would confult its Own tr ue interelts, Mould not helitate to renew the war as fpeedily as poffible • and ought to make every effort to prevent Bonaparte from confoiidating his power. Affured of the alliance of Ruffle and of England, when (hall it find a conjuneture more favourable ? The fecond thing aiTtimed as a conclufion in the Auftrian plan, is " that, if war be inevitable, the allied Courts ought to aft with the mod vigorous efforts of which they are capable." In this the Court of Vienna has formed a jult npinion. - But it errs ha. fuppofing for a moment, that it would be le ft aleas in•the misfit of theconteft. The good faith and helm of his Mikity the Emperor of Rana are too wall known to admit a fhadow of miltruft upon this head. Neither would dad Engli(h Government be ditpoted to facrifice loch immenfe toms of money, if its de termination were not finally flied. After this condufion in the plan, are mentioned three things, the co operation of which is requilire, in order to bring forward thofe great energies which are neceffary to the fuccell of the alliance, namely, the military arrangelnents, the financial arrangements, and the general policy. t. " It is timid, that military efforts would be of no avail, if the Austrian armies Ibould enter the field lets than etio,ooo thong." We entertain too high an opinion of the refourees of the Court of Vienna, to doubt but the Auftrian army may be put, in a fhort time, upon loch a re fpcelable footing, as to enter the• field in (efficient force. Being in alliance with Rudiasoind certain of the good faith of!that Power, it will have only France to oppofe, and will not be under any great necafity of maintaining a force to obferve Proiffia. It is very true, that the French, :redeem as they (hall fee- war to be inevitable, will put themfelves in too. tion ; and that Auflria will have to fullain their firfl attack till the Ruffians join them. But, as the Ruffian troops are ready to march, a body of them may be detached immediately, which (hall advance by forced marches to offal in the proteflion pf the Hereditary dominions of the Honk of Aultria, and to refill the full impetuofity of the torrent. a. The finances are next mentioned in the plan. The difficulty in regard to them, mud be in a great meafure removed by the fubfidy from England. Be. fides, it is certainly to be expected, that in this, as in what regards the completion of the army, the Court of Vienna will not fail to employ all its means and refources. The contingent of Ruffle woulti he, on the whole, • le,ooto men, deducting ae,too for the kingdom of Naples. There would remain 90,0c0 to aft in Ger, many, which might he conveniently toimed into two armies, one of eo,oco men, to affernble on the fton. tiers of Gallicia, oppofite to Lemberg; the other of ,#O.OOO, to offemble along the Bong, (rapt:l(lm Lublin. - The fird of thefe armies might, upon the full ap pearance of hoftilities, detach the column mentioned, which fhould march was Gallicia towards the Da- Rube, to affilt in oppofing the first attempts of the French upon the hereditary dominions in Germany, when it Sunda have arrived in the vicinity of Raid • bon ; its fubfequent movements would be determined by the condition of the Aufirian army. The red of the Ruffian army timid follow imme. diately, in order to reach its declination with the (mailed potlible lots of time. The other army would march by fablin and Cracow. It were to be wiflied that we fhould know whet routes the Court of Vienna would particularly ciefire that thefe two armies fhould take. In all cafes, their marches fliould be refpeftively fo arranged, that they may not meet at Tefchen. As to their operations, the fiat might be employed on the left Bank of the Danube, in communication with the Araltions upon the oppotne Bank, having its left upon Douauwerth. The fecond army, upon arriving in Bohemia, would proceed into Franconia, or wherever the dote of affairs fhould require its pretence. The Court of St. Peter (burgh is about to fend a enoisfential perfon to Paris, to make a loft endeavour (wide Bonaparte to Wen to reafonable condi aboulel Ode be accepted, it may prevent the *lienv. But, in the mean time, nothing is to be ne. Fleeted r for it isicestain, that we (hall Ineceed only in proportion as we put ourfelves in a refpcflable prs fstion. And we ought to be ready to begin the mo ment the negoeiation• terminates. The reatoninga, fuggelled upon the probable pre grefs of the military operations, appear to proceed upon very falutory and judicious views. It is agreed that any operations aphid the frontier of France, ;long the Rhine, whe.lier below or above Menta l , would be attended with great difficulty. It is rather on the Italian line that the hod fuccefs is to be ex petted. It is confecoently towards that qua: ter, that the principal efforts ought to be dimities'. All this part oldie plan mul► be allowed to be [serially well m ranged.—(7o 6c a dad on lilonday.) PARLIAMEATART PR.Ck.-EDIn HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7. . .
