" A year only has elapsed since all Europe was with is, ; now all Europe is marching against us. It is because the opinion of the world is formed by France, or by England. We should the Er :ore have every thing to dread without the energy aad the power of the nation. " Posterity shall say, that if great and critical circumstances presente‘l thcm.e:lve•, they were not above France and me." It appears fl . om the above document►►, that the Tyrant is at length humbled and desirous of peace. \' hat a contrast does the above reply pteient to his har:ingtic of Felituare last, when, after the dre.:dful mmtatity of the Russian cam paign, he came forward to &mart' new 'sacrifices.

Monday, further Paris papers were receive d to the . 18th instant. They contain three Piojell da Si-status CoaAutte, calling on France for a new conscription of 300,000 men in addition to the 280,000 so recently called for, making the enormous total of .580,000 mm, over and above. the con scription in the beginning of the year. The first of these Piwjets, which is extremely long, begins by referring to that ulemorable sitting in which the Empress pointed out the necessities of France; it states that France can only be safe by proportioning her efforts to those made to subject her ; that at that period the defection of Bavaria, and the deser tion of the Saxons, were unknown ; that circumstances had rendered glorious victories bat ren ; that. the cry of alarm mid for assitance of our children and brothers still in arms, stiil -gloriously fighting ou the Banks of the Rhine, resounded on the banks of :he Sein, the Rhone, the Gironde, the Mosehe, and the L •ire.

Addiliot;al Paris Papers to the 2 , 2 rd inst. arrived onW ednes day. They prepare us for the speedy receipt of more glorious news from the Rhine. A letter from Spire of the 15th, states that there had been much obstinate fiOrtin4 for some days between Cassel and Weeket"; and in such (ems as to encourage the most sanguine hopes that the - enemy have experieneed some fui titer serious disasters. Buonararte was doubtless fully informed of the late events in Dolland; but initcatl of acknowledging them, it is said in a 'pretended statement from Amstet dam, of the Lbtli, that all went then • precisely as he wished, thcnc,h it was on that very • day that _. 'the glorious counter :evolution was effected in the Dutch capital. The fallen Tyrant had decreed the formation of ; two armies of one hundred thousand each, the one at Turin, the other at llonrdeaux. Some private letters from France, however, state in positive terms, that Lord Wellington bed actually reached that city. Some French Ministerial changes have taken place., the most jarticular of which is the • appointment of Caulaincon:t, to be Minister fur Foreign 1 Aft'airs, in the room of Mark. The fears of Buonaparte again I display themselves most forcibly in an exhortation to French men, which appear in their papers : -- i • "it is England which is boom n.; England is in mu enemy's camps ; it is for her ; it is to satisfy her t mextingniiiiatile hatred against France. that the nations of the Ninth h.ivt het.%) put in mn- I 1 ". ititrcd attainst France is the patriotism of Englishmen. Who i. the Frenchman that at this idea, ii nut icatly to seize 1 his arms and exclaim : No, ne‘cr shalt Frangt bend her neck to England." .
