Where there is honour " ed, there is generally danger; and we shall cei great difficulties to encounter, great sacriti , form, great virtues to display, should ire successful contest, for a number of years, with BUONAPARTE. There must be no bungling, f on our part ; no sign of lethargy; no remiss' competency in the direction, and no awkwarc management of our defensive and offensive mea , contest we allude to, and in which we shall, soon engaged, presupposes in the iudivithia! have the conduct of our affairs, during t, trial, the g reatest talents and vigour o 1 soul. nistry of t his description, and were the strugc , 20 years, against the genius and activity o f b BuoNsesiers, widding, at the same time, the Europe,—we have nothing to apprehend.

We have extracted from the Moniteur of th documents. One is an address from CAVIDA' siens himself Prince Arch-Chancellor, to the Senate. The second is a report made to Boor a. War Minister CLARKE, (alias COUNT DE N. They both relate to the expediency of raising scription of 36,000 men. These documents a interesting; as they serve to throw considerable the late arrangements made at Vienna, and to temper with which they were made. We can the same time, through the Sycophantic crab& CLAnKr., a strong and decided repugnance, on the French, to the system of the conscription levy is to be raised out of the conscription 1806, 7,8, 9, :Ind 10; which left a disposcab 80,000; and in order to render the project p: %Val.

That CLASILS W 706 THE NATIONAL REGISTER. LotiDon, SUNDAY. NOVEMBLMIS. 1809. POLITICAL EYCNTS OF TDB WEEK. , Dutch Papers to the 21st inst. Afoniteurs to the 28th ult. and Hamburgh to 22d ult. were received yesterday.. The two former observe the most profound silence relative to the Conditions of the Peace ; but the latter is less cir cnrnspect, and hazards some observations ou that subject. According to these, the Kiiig of BAVARIA receives an ac cession of territory, extending to die eastward as far as Lintz, and to the north, a part of the Bishopric of Wurtz burg. A Prince of the House of Lorrain, who, in con sequence of the Peace of Presburg, had received the latter, as a kind of compensation for the loss of Tuscany, gets it is said, Saltzburg and the Tyrol in exchange for Wurtz burg. This transfer was probably suggested with an in tention of mollifying the proud spirit of the Tyrolese, by offering them .an Austrian Prince for their future Sove reign. The ring of SAKosy receives, it is likewise as serted, an addition of territory in Polantl ; and Istria, with the maritime towns of Flume and Trieste, to be annexed to the kingdom of Italy. Such are the stipulations of the Peace, according to the Hamburgh papers; but we must be cautious how we credit them, particularly as the French Official Paper observes so guarded a silence. BUONAPARTE did not arrive on the 28th, as far as we can. collect, either at Fontaiubleau, or at Paris ; and this will probably ac .count for the reserve displayed in the Monitenr. The Official Paper has noticed, at last, the conclusion of the Peace, but without comment, or the slightest allusion to the conditions.. It states only the bare fact, and the day when it was - signed. We have not been accustomed to this laconism in the Oloniteur, whenever it announced a similar occurrence. The word Peace communicated no snortifving impression, excited no painful retrospection, for the las! fourteen years, in the minds of Frenchmen. They , conquered it by their audacity ; and proclaimed it vi ith the most exulting triumph. The garrulity and frittered mo rality of that people were conspicuously displayed upon these occasions. We are, therefore, surprised at this ex traordinary deviation from their national pomposity and garrulity. The Noniteur of the 21st, in communicating the intelligence of the Peace, does it in the following concise and u norna merited statement : " PARIS LE 20, OcToßßE.—ta paix entre S. M. ITN:- PERE:UR nes FRANCAIS et S. M. r Enipereur d'Autriche, c ete signee 14 decemois." peace &between his Majesty the Estes:non ors THE 4.‘ rt ry( IT, and his Majesty the Emperor of Austria was signed on litth of this month." e 'This statement is of no further importance than to re move every doubt, and, in fact, we never entertained /any, of the existence of the tact. It leaves us in the same obscurity we 'ere in before, relative to the conditions of the T; . eat... We suspect the first communication will be mark to the Senatejuithe presence of the victor himself, seated upon his throne, and surrounded by his 'Marshals, particularly those who distinguished themselves in the late ca mpaign. The Princes of Esslingen, Wagrarn, and Echmuhl will, by their presence, give a greater Eclat to the ceremony ; and we are very much mistaken if this be not the reason of the silence hitherto observed. Scanty as our information is on this subject, we are able at least to destroy one rumour, which obtained consider able credit. We allude to the renunciation, on the part of FRANCIS, of his title of 'Emperor of Austria. The Moni teur gives him expressly that very distinction; a had he been .comp:lled to renounce the Imperial title, wink. the ...mmoillll NOV. dby the offi- • ours wit! be sg which has* founded on to speculate fly ignorant ; s, may ex- cen signed ; discretion of employ it One nant feelings d inaction.— int down pa. ern along the er project he sigh for free- st convulsive When every - ohably, and idiverted at- ettie and the g opposed to to be acquir- ertainly have • frces to per- • maioAain a, • h NAPOLEON for example, mess : no in- rdness in the ,ristires.
