Hence, no-doubt, proceeded, in a great measure, his partiality for mar, and indifference to peace. During the former, his 800,000 men in arms, awed the world: in the latter, they only threatened and terrified himself. Such an army was like a two-edged sword, which it is diffi- cult to wield ‘vithou.l wounding ourselves. _ As long as NAPOLEON did not feel the waste of consoli dating his empire beyond the period of his own existence, and transmitting a crown as NI ell as a same to posterity, he relied on incessant warfare as his security, during his life• lt was only when repeated successes had opened still higher prosy ects to his ambition, that he saw the propriety of lay ing doe et fOundations for his power, and adding . lasting solidity to his greatness. He wanted an ally against his own aiinv, whose friendship would support him against that mass of soldiers, whom he bad taught to annihilate kingdoms and thrones, and he sought and found him among the Princes he bad conquered. The ancient house of Austria sanctioned hi.; usurpation by her alliance, and it is not un reasonable to suppose that the birth of a son may have given him new views and new feelings, and materially changed the nature of his ambition. To preserve ought now to have become his object rather than to extend, and his late attempt to consolidate the enormous power he possessed on the Coo tinent by comnelling Russia to adhere strictly to his ruinous commercial system, has by its very defeat, and the destruc tion of his veterans, all:oiled him an opportunity of safely restoring peace to the world. His present armies are nuttier OUS it is true, but they are composed of young conscripts lately taken from their paternal roofs, and who have not been long enough inured to the splendid toils and-woes of war, to prefer them to the enjoyment of domestic pursuits and happiuess. Should a general peace be made, and should they be di,banded, instead of forming discontented par ties and hatching rebellion in the State, they would joyfully return to the bosom of their families, and restore to society useful members who still retain their veneration for, and their ability to fulfil, its duties. The surviving veterans, so much reduced in numbers by the last campaign, would now form the peace establishment, and preserving their military rank and means of subsistence, would have no cause for dis satisfaction. Reviving commerce might reconcile all orders of the people to aGovernment which owes its greatest un popularity to its suppression of the blessings of trade, and the great object which NAPOLEON has now evidently in view, the securing the inheri , ance of his crown to his son, would be more easily-effected. It cannot be denied that, no longer feeling only as an Emperor, but as a father, the completion of this scheme must lie paramount to every other design in his mind, and that he would purchase it at the expence of many sacrifices. *As peace alone can accomplish it, is it not therefore reasonable to consider it as one of the reasons that would induce him to embrace peace with joy, even if attended with a considerable reduction cf his present power?

PAnts, ham 15.—Her Majesty the Empress Queen and Regent has received the following intelligence of the situation of the Ay. n ies on the 11th June : The Emperor arrived at four o'clock in the morning of the 10th, at Dresden. The Horse Guards arrived there at noon. The Foot Guards were expected the following day, the it th. The Emperor arrived there at tlk moment when lie was the least expected, he thus rendered useless the preparations made for his reception. At no ,, n, the King of Saxony went to see the Emperor, who lodges in the suburbs, in the fine house of Marcolini, where there are a grand suite of apartments on the ground floor, and a hand some park ; the King's palace, which the Emperor formerly inha• bited, having no garden. At 7 in the evening, the Emperor re ceived Mr. de Kaas, Minister of the Interior, mid of Ju.tiee, from the King of Denmark. A Danish brigade of the auxiliary division, placed under the Prince of Edam'ld's orders, on the 2d of June, took possession of 'Althea. The Prince of Wilma, on the 10th, was at Breslaw ; the Duke of Treviso, at Glogan • the Duke of Belton°, at Grosse!' ; the Duke of Reggio, upon the frontiers of Saxony and Pros%ia, on the Berlin side. The armistice had every where been published. The troops were making preprations to place their barracks. and encamp in their resoretive positions, from Glogau and Leignitz to the frontiers of Bohemia and Gorlitz. Pants. JIVNy. Majef.ty the -FinpresF4neen and Regent has received the following inteJtigence of the situation of the army on the even;og of the I.lth : All the t , •oops had arrived in their . cantonments : barracks are building. and camps are forming. The Emperor has a parade every day at ten o'clock.. Some of the enemy's partizans are still in our rear. They make war on their own account, after the manner of Schill, and refuse to acknowledge the armistice. Several columns. are in motion to destroy them. Her Majesty the Empress-Queen and Regent has received the following intelligence from the army, dated the 18th : Baron de Kolas, Danish Minister of the Interior, dispatched with • letters from the King. has been presented to the Emperor. After the affair of Corei:lia:rn, a treaty of alliance was con. eluded between France and Denmark. By that treaty the Eta• peror guaranteed the integrity of Denmark. in the year 1811, Sweden made known at Paris, •the desire she to of uniting Norway to Sweden, and demanded the a.si-tance of Fiance. She was answered, that whatever wish France had to do au agreeable thing to Sweden, a treaty of alliance having been con. eluded with Denmark, guaranteeing the integrity of that power, his Majesty could not give his consent to the dismemberment of the territory of his ;illy, 'From this moment Sweden detached herself from France, and entered into negotiations with her enemies. Afterwards, the war between France and Russia became imminent. The Swedish Court proposed to make common ean.e with France, but at the same time renewing its propositions relative to Nor way. It was in vain that Sweden represented, that from the Nor wegian porte, a descent upon Scotland was easy ; it was in vain that she dwelt upon all the guarantees which the ancient alliance of Sweden gave France of the conduct she would follow towards England. The reply of the Cabinet of the Thuillerles was the same,—it had its hands tied by the treaty with Denmark. From that moment Sweden no longer kept any measures ; she contracted an alliance with Russia and England; and the first Initiation of that treaty was the common engagethent of compelling -Denmark to cede Norway to Sweden. The battles of Smolensk and of the Moskwa restrained the acti vity of Sweden; she'received some subsidies, made some prepara tions ; but began no hostilities. The events of the winter of 313'ar. rived ; the French troops evacuated Hatnburgh; the situation of Denmark became perilous : at war with England, threatened by Sweden and Russia, France appeared unable to support her. The King of Denmark, with that fidelity which characterizes him. ad. dressed himself to the Emperor, in order to get out of this situation. The Emperor, who wishes that his _polies' should never be at the expence of his Allies, replied, -that Denmark was at liberty to treat with England to save the integrity of )t.r territory, anti that his esteem and friendship for the Kin. , should receive no diminntien from the new connection which t he tbree of eitcuntstancvi obliged
