Still 1 never Coffered myfelf to /erred from my eittleavours to fecure the good y country. „ My principal 404. was to obtain either an al or a firtmle neutrality ; but this was refufed e,'both by the Emperors of France and Aultria. of them t. as «wally folicitnus for my alliance ; even a corifxlcrable German Court, upon whch 3 a l ight to place tny girdled L o pes, rcfnfed to Ire ittelf.

My dignity, as an Eleaur, in danger of being espored to the fate of many ['timely families, now conflrained to live upon nercy of salter Co.trts, and to receive the fnms tea [us their fultailence, as an alms : my cowl. try would have been treated as a conquered province • by the victorious army of the French. " It was worded. on the part of Wirtemberg, to fupply a contribution of eight millions, two thou land horfes, and as many men as would have been fufficient for conducting the French artillery, and other carriages attached to the army. This was not accepted—but a demand was made for ten thoufand men, and one thoufand Ironies, to be at the difpofal of the French army. I anfwered, that this was be- i yond the teach of my abilities, and that the military in Wirtemberg were accullomed to the grant of fur loughs every year, which would, of cuurfe. be fill canceled. • What you cannot effecri, your country can,' was the anfwer of the Emperor Napolecn. I replied, my States will not content.' The French Emperor immediately Paid, I will (upport you againll your States.' " No choice now remained: I fubfcribed to the articles of the treaty, a tranilation of which, from the French into the German language, fo far as it relates to this bulinefs, 1 will now read to you : His Majefty the Emperor of the French and hie Highnefs the EleAor of Wirtemberg, have this day concluded the following treaty; the former by his Minillcr, M.Didelut, his Envoy at this Court, and the latter by Count Winzingerode, his Minifter of State and Foreign Affairs, and Prefident of his Ps ivy Council : • Article I. His Majefly the Emperor of the French and King of Italy, guarantees to his Elcanral High nefs of Wirtemberg . the independence and integrity of his territories, with all the privileges and preroga tives now in poffeflion of the EleAoral Houle, as they were efiabliffied by the treaty of Luneville, and the Conclufum of the Empire. 11. His Elehoral Highnefs, on his part, engages to limply the French army with ten thoufand men, including from feven to eight thoufand infantry, and one thoufand buries.' " This treaty I have figned ; and I will-1 muff abide by it : but I cannot fulfil it, unlefs you fupply me with the means. I tibmit the treaty to your con. fideration, and require your content for the levy of two thouland men. I alfo require the affinante of a firm in tpecie ; not leis than half a million will be adequate to the prefent Rate of a ff airs. This de mand does not originate with me ; the Emperor who has fubfcribed to this treaty would have impoted more, had I conf-inted to it, but this I refuted. " The French Emperor has left me this afternoon, in full perfuafion that the terms of the treaty will be complied with to the utmost extent. Should thefe fail in the leaf' degree, difagrecable confequences to the country will be unavoidable. You are the xeprefen tatives : into your hands I commit the fare of Wir. tembcrg. It depends upon your decifion to fare the country, or to render it unhappy. Think maturely on the fubjea ; I (peak to you as a father. Midake me not: it is notmy demand—it is that of the French' Emperor. I repeat it the third time ; mistake me not : I b leech you to weigh it maturely, and to look forward with calumet's to the weighty refponfibility for which you will have to anfwer to COD, your country, your own confciences, and to poflerity, fhould you, in this dangerous crifis, expofe the State to au overthrow. "I, for my own part, will do my duty—l fvrear it ; I will never confent to the reduaion of my houfe to a nate of wretchednefs. I fubmit this to your tranquil confideration. Qn this account I have pre pared an apartment in my caftle, where you may plane your deliberations witho.t interruption.— There is no time to be loft : I than remain with my Privy Council alfembled,and when your determinati,:n is fixed, let me know it, that it may receive my rati fication : then I (hall require you all to be prefent.— /sin one mutt be abfent, or expee any excute fur the refofal of his alien:, which I hope will not he necef fary.---.Have you all underflood me perlealy ?"-- " All."—" Then retire."

P. S. In the beginning of °Sober, Wittemberg was compelled by impetigos circumaances to enter into a military treaty with France. Napoleon's fu.cegßs have (ince been the means of determining as to the advantages of that treaty. What a change of circumilances ! In the beginning of Oflober the Alsatian piquets were daily apprehended at Stutgard —at, ptefent a more favourable profpal pteknts it. Pelf of that reward which Napoleon has 'mantled to his allies.

Againft fuch numbers it would be rnadnefs toattempt to make a Rand, and we hope means have by this time been adopted for the retreat of our countrymen. Unlefs fome very culpable negligence prevent it, we have no doubt of their being able to retire inro Sweden, lhould there be any difficulty in procuring in time the ne cetfary number of tranfports. There is ever] reafon to believe that the French Emperor has by this time returned to his Capital to dietate what farther arrAngements he may deem ne ceffary refpefling the formation of new kingdoms. He was for fome time reproached with being new made. If he fucceed in the extenftve plan which he has formed, he will, before he flops, be one of the olde ft powers in Europe. The Elalor of Wirtemburgh, as we have already informed our Readers, is one of his prefent favourites. What a change ! Two years ago, the Provincial Af femhly applied to BONAPARTE for fupport againit their legitimate Chief, and found favour in his fight. Now, the Prince againtt whom they appealed has the fame arm lifted up in his favour. In the preceding columns we have given a copy of theEleflor's addrefs to his States. The intelligence communicated in the Litbon let ter, inferted in our laft, of fourteen French Chips of war having been feen off L'Orient by a Swedi(h tra ce!, is rendered very probable by difpatches received on Saturday From the Port Admiral at Plymouth, which Rate a report, that another fquadron had d raped from Brett, between the 15th and roth ult. the deßination of which was unknown. There is little doubt that the fquadron chaced by Sir J. Duc !WORT H i and loft by him, to the weftward of the Canaries, was bound for the Weft Indies. It is believed, too, that Sir J. DUCKWOILTH, after lofing fight of them, continued the purfuit. Admiral Sir JOHN soat.acs W failed yeller- day from Portfmouth, with feven fail of the line, two frigates,-and one !loop : he is etpeEted to be followed by other veils.

S•a—From the calamitous events that have r:.• cently taken place on the Continent, it behoves every caber and reflecting Briton to contemplate with cool nets the dangers that threaten us—and to Pigged Poch Reps as may tend to promote and ellablifh the fecurity of the Country. Under this impredion I beg Mr. Editor, you will do me the favour to publith in your Paper the following hints. As the war in which we are engaged, mull from- the nature of the corded, be unavoidably hafting, all meafures of ephemeral and uncertain defence, ought immediately to beabdicated, and fuch unly'fubflituted as will enfure us a fubttantial and efficient proteaioa —nor lhould the cold calculations of mercantile ava rice be placed its competition, or (offered to interfere, with our national fafety. Having an inveterate and potent euemy to contend againfl, whole inordinate vengeance and avidity would defpoil us of every • thing valuable we pouted, equivalent facrifices mutt • necelfarily be made. But as pecuniary confiderations fhould not finale our means of defence, neither fhould any other plans be adopted, than loch as are lealt detrimental to our commercial pr ofperity, 'and upon this principle the whole body of Volunteers, as they ate at prefent eon tingled, fhould be without delay difbanded and abolidred. Two very cogent reafons imperioufly call for the adoption of this meafure—thetperfea in adequacy of fuch a force to cope with the viaortous legions of Bonaparte, and the incalculable injury our commerce fuftains, by the abliraaion of individuals. from their mercantile purfirits, for the purple of being imperfra(7 initruited in the tile of arms. Were the pecuniary talcs, incurred by the Volur• leers neglating their bullock to attend their mi'itary exercifes, collected, it would be found fully compe. tent to the maintenance, and equipment of a very conliderable regular force; and it is only by fuels a force (whatever the advocates of our Volunteer fyf tern may tugged to the contrary) that the veterans of France can be fuccefsfuly and effeaoady °pooled. I believe, Mr. Editor, few people will be difpored to difpute the zeal, courage, and difciplire of the Ann.:jars and Rullian foldiers, and yet their armies have been annihilated with afionifhing facility by the French. If fuch armies are theref re incapable of re filling this formidable foe, can any mara s ecdowed with a common portion of intellea, imagine for a moment, that our columns of Volunteers,compcfedas they are of the moll heterogeneous materials, and commanded by men unveiled in military tcienee. will be able to make an efficient refinance? I would,however, by no means be thought to throw the leaft difparagement ow the exertions ref thofe zealous and gallant men, who have fo patriotically rallied round the flandard of their country in the moment of danger. It is not the Volunteer, but the•fyftem itfelf that is the objet of reprobation; whatevermightheexpeaed from courage or zeal would, I amperfiraded, be chearfully atchtevid by the BritahVolunteers ; but courage and zealareonly two (and not the molt elfential) of the innumerable qualifications of a liildier—es capability of funairrias fatigue, a coolnels and pretence of mind in battle (on ly to be acquired by being familiar with danger), a cheerful fubmiffinn to, and active execution of the or. dens of a fuperior officer ; theta ate the tirft and rag prfia/requilites of a feldier,and theft are the palliatale and prominent defects of the Volunteer eitablifhmeat. From what has been obfervcd, it i, clearly evident otty only refource is then in a regular well trained difci plined army ; and as the iraereate of oar regular et tablifhment, to the event required for the proteaioa. of the country, is abfolittely impradicable upon the prcfent fyllem of entitling men for general and per. manent lervice ; other ohms mull be retorted to that will not drain, but rather replenifh the finings iliac fupply our regular regiments with recruits fur unli mited fervice. For that porpole I would recommend that all our regiments of the line, as far as they are at prefent numbered, (viz. ico) fhould have 3 batta lions of Soo men each, making in the aggregate a force of 240,000 men. Toe ill battalions to he for general and unlimited fervice, withadditional pay,and to be diflinguifhed Gum the reit ofthe army by a (tripes 'oflace,or fume other badge upon the arm. The fervice of the zd to be limited to the United Kingdoms and the Ifland-, with a fimilar charaatriftic mark of the nature of tite'r krvices, fuch as a tingle (tripe of lace upon the arm, and the 3d, on the principle of our National Militia, to be confined to the protalion of • the United Kingdoms only. The men cempofing thefe lad Battalions, to be annually balloted for, and to be allowed the liberty (to a certain extent each year) to volunteer into the zi or rR Battalion. The ad Battalions to be raifol by recruiting, and Volun teers from the 3d, of which the 2d Battalions already formed, will conftitute the foundation ; and the tit Battalions to be entirely fupplied with volunteers • from the other two. The bounty allowed for volun. teering to be proportioned to the extent of feraice. If to the above, we add the Regiments of Guards,• Cavalry, Artillery, and we than have an effec tive Army of 360,000 men ; and lhould this /time be thought incompetent to the tele ity of the country, let us then avail not laves of the enthafiatin thatirct vades every chats of fociety in the nation, and eitablith corps of local fervice opon found, fond, • And trite pi incipies of war, but in the name of every ••' thing that is dear to its, le: us not confide the la!ety • of our laws, air liberty, and our conititution, upon a (*pecks of indeferiptive force, organized on the prin— ciples of lie volurteer fyltern—it we do, we are itre• coverably loft. -Itt laying this plan before the public, I am not in. f ee libl e o f t he r,blttlions that will be made againit the principle of rai6tig fn large a proportion of men by ballot, but thefe ate times that are pregnant with difafter. and require the application of Wong mea fares.
