CONTINENT MUST PALL: the rank is not taw— Again—" MI is peace on the Continent, except a few seditious Spaniards in the pay of England, whom my armies shall chastise. Think you to seise this moment (June /2) to attack me? I have 'only 80,000 men in Portugal and Spain, and the military force is fully 800,000, wldont reckoning my faith fill Allies of the Confederation of the Rhine.— Do you think to frighten me ? Do you think I will renounce my project against Spain, and my measures against England ? You deceive your.. selves, and the very means by which you hope to embarrass me, will, on the contrary, facilitate my views." Read this ye advocates of perpetual warfare. Upon what, we demand, rests your hopes, of success in so unequal a contest ? And ye inhabit ants of these once happy kingdoms, let this fact sink deep into your minds, that BONAPARTE has decreed, " Either England or the Continent must fall !! !" lie is no doubt a man; but he is armed with power superior to the rest of mortals; and entertaining the most implacable enmity towards—not the people of this country—but its present rulers, who have pro claimed " Eternal War against NAPOLEON", he has resolved to employ the means in his hands' to ac complish his purpose. But this is not the only occasion on which he fulminated this denuncia tion ; he has again and again compared Britain to ancient Carthage, whose fall he meditated.— It requires but a very slight observation to convince us, that BONAPARTE is not a man who threatens in vain. The important changes which he has brought about on the Continent, are sufficientFproofs of his perseverance and his ability. But our safety is yet within our own reach. It is to beJound in a change of measures, which, it is Obvious, however, can only take place on a change of Ministers :—an• event which cannot be too devoutly wished for, nor too suddenly accomplished, because on this alone de pends our safety as a free and independent*nation. 7 1- 110 ) * STATESMAN. _ LONDON: • FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18. 1 In our preceding columns we haie inseited a Do •timent, bearing to be " BONAPAITLIS Speech to the Russian Ambassador," .at a Court or Levee held at 'aris'en floe 12th. June last, which, wear! persuaded, will excite considerable interest in the public mind. Forgeries of State Papers, Intercepted LetteriN Treaties of Peace, 'and Accounts of Naval and Mi- Mary Engagements, having of late become so com non, it may, perhaps, he expected of us to say a word or two respecting the authenticity of the speech of NirotroN, to which we refer. Upon that sub- ect, however, we have little to advance. All we know is, that it was received in this country in manuscript French, by a respectable merchant in the city, through whose medium we are now enabled to lay a transla tion of it before the world. Having stated this, it will easily he seen that we de not vouch for its being a genuine document. At the same time we are in clined to regard it as authentic, both from the simi twits- of the style to that of •Boseraerr, and the principles it avows, which are so characteristic of that extraordinary personage. There was indeed wanting an explanation, on the part of NAFOLEON, of the motives which led him to act in so conspicuous and unparalleled a manner as he has done,ever since he was called to fill the Chair as First Consul of the French Republic; but whether the present will be consi e..red in that light, or whether the principles which it lays &son, will be recognised as the result of a wise and necessary policy, are questions which we do not pretend todeterminei For ow own part, regarding this document as authentic, and having considered it with more than ordinary attention, we are iuclined to subscribe to many of the leading points upon which it insists. We are inclined, for instance, to regard the conduct of the Elperor of Resat& ip the same point of tient hat Boor/arum& does.

The necessary alterations would amount only to about 3501 - . Mr. S. DIXON disapproved of the Report. If iil, was meant that Mr. Sword Bearer and the rest of the. Household should, in the afternoon, dine in the room in which vagrants and others, whose notiOnsoess pro. ceeded from their misery, were in the forenoon con.. fined, he conceived that such a plan was, above all others, to .be deprecated.. He recollected a most re., irc4ble Othoer (Mr. Cannon) having fallen a rig*, Ann to his attendance in such a room as this ; and, feg his own part, he would it any time walk a milt round, rather than pass through that room for tki. purpose of swearing an affidavit. Mr. Alderman HUNTER (the Lord Mayor. Bleat) supported the Report of the Committee.. It was not intended that Mr. Sword Bearer, and the rest of the Household, shoulddine in the room appropriated is the forenoon for vagrants, &c. but that another room, undertbe room now used for that purpose, should be dedicated to their use. . Mr. Dorararorap said, then it was the intention of 'the Lord Mayor Elect, to consign persons accused to a dungeon, previous to their being examined. Mr. Qum opposed the motion for agreeing to the ,Report, on the ground that no reason was assigned for this, as be conceived it, unnecessary expenditure 4 the money of the city. The motion for agreeing with the Committee in this Report, was then put and negatived. STATE COACH. The Report of the Committee cppointed to inquire what repairs were necessary for the State Coach, was , brought up. It stated, that the coach was in a very .decayed state., andihat even for immediate repairs, besides the annual sum usually expended, 891. would be required to be laid out on the present State Coach, to make it fit for the safe conveyance of the Lord .Mayor. The Committee therefore reported, that con ceiving this too large a sum to be expended on repairs to the present State Coach, they had ordered the pre sent expenditure to be confined merely to repairs of the barnessi &c. and they, submitted that a new State Coach ought to be procured. • After some discussion; the Report teas agOed. to, and it was-referred back to the same Committee to cam , * abject thereof into effect, and to report. LORD MAYOR'S DAY. i . hisvprpot begged to put a question to the Lord Mayor Elect, ffie4 ts to which he considered the whole of the metro s. and particularly the ladies, who had been &F -ollow' forward to Lord Mayor's Day as a novelty,. in y and their friends were peenliarly interested, being Softy above an others in which the City of London was sup. ”sed to exhibit its hospitality, not only to the leading charac test in this country, but also to all strangers of eminence who might happen to be resident in London. The question he had to put was this, whether the report he had heard was correct, namely, that it was the intention of the Lord Mayor Elect, ander.the plea of the continued indisposition of his Majesty, to ditcontinne the Anniversary Diaper accustomed to be given on the.9th of November ? The Lotto MATO% ELECT (Alderman Hunter) had no hesita tion in saying, that it had been his intention, after consulting his Worthy Friends, who had undeptaken the office of Sheriff for the essuiag year. to suspend, at least, the dinner usually given on Lord Mayor's Day, and that on account of the continued indis position of our Gracious Sovereign. • This resolution had been eome so on Ms part, however, without any intention o pejo. vere in it, if not agreeable to the general wish of that Cont. He had not embraced the plan which it had been his intention to adopt, in conseqnence of soy expectation that either the chum. ter of his Mayoralty would thereby be Increased, or his ex. Penaes be diminished: On the casual, he was satisfied 1 that his popularity, his vanity, and even his pecket,.l would be best consulted by having the .usual Annlver. sary Diaper instead of the plan which . he had adopted, and as to which it had been his intention to take the sense of that Court---letters containing the leodirg features of it having heed in preparation, which be expected would have been in their hands tomorrow morning. He now only wished to have the Sommer the Court, to obey it. He then read the outline of his plan, which consisted, instead of the public Anniversary Disney, of parties of 300, at the Mansion-house, once a for . night, to dinner, the lady Mayoress having, on the evenings of the same days, a ball, to two, at least, of which entertainments each Hentleman, accustomed to he invited to the Lord Mayor's Dinner" should receive tickets of invitation. Mr. Distom was byno means satitiledwith this tubstitutelbr the *West City Feast, which he was anxious to sae kept up la iterweastomedepleadout. Mr Dow'woßD concerted in the opinion of the Lord Mayor Piglet. Mr. Wentz thought that after the entertalament given by the Prince Regent, which, in point of extent and elegance was never equalled in this or any other country, there could be so fear that the annual and loaristablished dinner of the City of Landed shaold seem unbecoming. Mr. QOM argued strongly on the same oldie, expressing his • astedilbamotthat the present Lord Mayor and late Sheriff should ace have tam an opportunity of satisfying the Corporation thattbeirtersetfaloess of the 9th lovembe r did not proimedfrons as regard to their own peepers. - Mr. Ahleininmillepree declared that he cheerfully acceded to the wielmsaithe Court, and that the Lord Mayor's day should beLkeptasysinal. ._Mr MioW HILTGATE stated that it was only when hewn* In formed Of the improbability of the attendance of the sisal it. lawless sosipany, and when he reflected uperatie !Wes In. astalnd Indisposition, that he thought the an . • proper for thommoidedation of his fellows. , An - Memrabloileser bermes mistaken in stating that the .

Mr. Sheriff Brace concurred in opinion with the ,Lord Mayor Elect, and it was understood that Abe Lord Mayor's Day should be kept as usual. A Memorial from the Scottish Hospital, praying the aid of, the Court, was presented and read. and a .nalire of ?mains given for the Chamberbilitto subscribe a sum in support el that charity, as the gift of the Court, which will be considered one future day. The Thanks of the Court were voted to the Rev.
