It is clear that this country has only one line to pursuer and following which, Great Britain will, in a short period-, -be still greater than she has yet been, and may proudly bid defiance to the tyrant of Europe concentrating all his forces for our destruction. Providence bat formed its coast for security. and- Nature has given us strength. courage, and good sense. The time is, probably, at no such immense distance, when BUONAP A Writ, released from a continued attention to the attire of the Continent, will be able to honour as with his vengeance. The hies of the presumptuous myrmidons . who make the experiment, will inevitably be sacrificed ! , But what is the conduct we ought to pursue? recall our troops from the Continent. Let us look stedfastly at the Colossal danger springing from the despotism of litiC011; trolled military power. Let us take a view of our eanger, with eagle eyes—.our possible danger only, its strue; buts danger to be guarded against as much as .if it were real, because it can be guarded against successfully by being done in time. Let us begin to look at them with a, cool head, and , an extensive eye ; 'et us, view it with temper, au to our *mmediate situation, and With diligence as to-, its'ulterior consequences. ISCONAPARTE has not finished , his negociations with Austria, nor will he. tilt intrigue or terror accomplish his designs.— He 'has no idea.of war which is to leave each party as it found it, except only as to the expence produced by the struggle.. His ambition must be _satisfied iu more intelli , gent manner. We are content to • ieekon our chickens before they are hatched, and then' to sulk over the disap pointment which a failure brings with it. Placed as In is in a wide eipinse - ol weakness,:he takeiai much spoil at a time as the patience.of insulted Europe,at the moment will per mit; and as the surprize Chit each act of iniquity occa sions shall subside, he will return to the precious banquet till his gigantic powers, and the, formidabte terror of his name will render caution superfinoms-to.his insatiable cu pidity. For ourselves', and for our own ultimate safety, we can not begin to think too soon, We are but just in time for safe measure& to day, and we may certainly lie too late for them to-morrow. The contradictory reports which prevail respecti4 Peace having been signed between France and Austria, leave us in just the same uncertainty that we ha,e beet) in for some time. If any thing can induie. the Emperor FR•xcis to spurn the humiliating Conditions which • are offered, it is the brave, the patriotic and successful resistance whiCh the Tyrolese offer to the farce sent against them, which is stated" at more than 40,p00. • In the, engagements which have taken place, they have shown what may be effected by .a brave add spirited peoplp, attached to their sovereign, and, their country, and fighting lot their • liberty. What, fl contrast does their conduct afford,' to the wretched and dastardly policy which would have consigned,them bound,- as it were, and fettered to the- triumphant chariot of the despotic Conqueror.
