THE NATIONAL REGISTER. their troops. The season of the year, and the removal of almost all the grain to the fortresses and inland towns ) compelled them to depend entirely on their own re sources. The expellees, the difficulties, and the hazards of the war were thus doubled. May not the wish of avoid ine similar inconveniences induce them to defer the open in:, or this campaign ? The fields which they now threaten only display promises of fertility. In a few months they will be realized. Fruits will then have succeeded to flowers, and the heavy rustling of the loaded ears to the light witticg of the growing crops. They will then enter, not enly to conquer, but to reap ; and the land itself, e%en should the population be hostile, will prove an ally to their cause. Meanwhile, will they lose, or Buonaparte gain, from delay, any material advantage ? Not many weeks since we should have answered in the affirmative but the state of France has varied. Unanimity in submis sion, has ceased to exist throughout that empire. Ilecou raged by the attitude of the Allies, the Royalists have re sumed both spirit and activity. In thel'irest and in the South they increase their adherents daily, and occasional defeats only serve to discipline them for final victory. Foreign aggression, at such a time, might give a contrary impulse to the poptCar feeling, and lead it to assist Buonaparte in repelling the invaders, whilst, if left to itself, it would progressively be won over to the Royal cause. This may be another reason for the inactivity of the Allies. They =ay have grounds to trust that demonstrations alone will suffice to terminate the war: that, secure of assistance whenever they may require it, the Royalists will so el feetualiy exert themselves as to insure success, and that France will work her own deliverance. In remembrance of her past gteatness, in tenderness to the character of a noble though misguided nation, they once more leave her an opportunity of redeeming her honour. To her they confide the task of re-conquering her King, who, if carried to the throne by the arms of his own subjects, will no longer labour tinder the imputation of having been imposed by foreigners, and will hold a stable sway. Should their hopes be again disappointed, they at least secure powerful diversions for the time when they may think it proper to enrol ce their declarations with the sword. Letters have been received announcing the welc ome in telligeucc of the disputes with the Chine!,e Government having been amicably adjusted the latter end of November. Advices from Buenos Ayres upto the 911) of February, state that the Spanish insurgents have been most complewly tAlccessful against the Royalists.

Is the position of Bonaparte in regard to the Powers altered by the . first success of his enterprise, or by the events passed since his arrival in Paris. The Powers, informed!of the landing of Bonapart could see in him only a man who, by advancing on th ritory, with force and arms, and with the avowed pr . ( turning the established Government, by exciting tI the army to revolt against their lawful Sovereign, am the title of Emperor of the French, (1) had incurred which all legislations pronounce against such outrages, by abusing the good faith of the sovereigns, had tiro' treaty,—a man, in fine, who, by recalling upon Fran, tranquil, all the scourges or internal and external w Europe, at a numient when. the blessings of peace ml soled her for her long sufferings, the sad necessity of, armament, was justly regarded as the implacable ene , welfare. Such was the origin, such were the groumf claration of the 13th of March ;—a Declaration of win, and necessity have been universally acknowledged general opinion has sanctioned.
