THE ST4TE§M.AN:- PIIII6IPOSITI •. .1 .! to l itDON: Timisnaar l OCTOBER 19. • N Tna terms of theleace between Austria and France are variously reported, but have not yet been suffered by Government to transpire. It is believed that they arc in possession of more spc. clic information tilpi the Public has yet received, their agents do not scruple to admit that the terms are believed to he . mest humiliating for Ans. till. A few days will probably put us in pos session of the heads of the Treaty. One report on this subject is, that the pertinacious refusal of the Emperor FRANCIS to yield the maritime town of Spalatro, was the cause of the prairie:Ai f the Ne;otiation. The hsktour of this pfacri9 g ood, and certainly is an acqUisition of some valijt to the French ; bat if, as is by some believed, Alivajria bas conceded even her capital, it is tiffiCUit to account for a comparatively inf•rior abject hay. a. init retarded the conclusion of the arrangement. ,We doubt ti.e fact, and we forbear to state the reports on the subject of the great ex. tent of territory ceded by Austria, as we really apprehend the truth to be unknown—conse. queutly what is asserted, may be deemed mere conjecture. The renunciation of the title of Estrvion Or A.IIIITIII a is asserted to have been aliptilatual as a natural consequence or the ces sion of Upper and Lower Austria. From the great length to which the negociation was pro tracted, we anticipate more favourable terms for A.ut i tria l than is generally believed to have beets granted. • ...iimm....i, ,f ii•-• VIA , EXTRACTS All Portuguese Pipers and a Cib raltu Chronicle, will be found in anothet . part of oar Purer.

It is the interest of the new Government (, root out the abuses anti defects of the old one—and that course King jo+rett will doubtless pursue.

Ti the EDITIOR of TILE STATESMAN. Sta—l rely on your impartiality for Inserting a few lines, though they should contain opinions different from yours. Is your Paper of yesterday, you propose that the King's title should be changed to that of Em. -*tor because the French had changed the title of their Matriarch ; we are not, most certainly, to follow the example of that giddy Helium in all their nonsense, and I think it would be attended with 'bad cettsequaciis. Those Who were born the King's subjects in America, ,would thiak it eery strange that they no longer had a Kiwj. This is a 'Lel common expression all over Erg. lish.America, and all through the Republic, szasiara a subject of Me meaning our King ; and that expression goes more to attach the King's American subjects, tie well as his late subjects, the people of the United Stales, to Eng land, than any thing else. Another reason for not clawing the title is, the best-informed men of my acquaintance are of opinion, that Bonaparte will be the last Emperor that France will ever have: when that change shall take place lit France, some people here mar i say, 6 You have made one change to aememilltae l date yourselves to France, why don't ?Gumlike el second change to accommodate yourselves to her P i —There are other reasons also why it should not be, which reasons I do not think proper to pub Now that I am on this subject, I do think there should be p change, but not of the kind you recommensie I think the King should be styled " King of the English Dominions," that would include the vast and valuable possessions in America and in Asia, to give you an idea of the importance of which, I shall merely mention that the American Archipel (commonly, though imprte ! perly, called 6 West Indies,') alone employ WOO sail of English vessels constantly, and purchase goods manufactured in this country to the amount of seven millions annually. That part of the . Em. pire is too valuable to be excluded from 'the title that the King bears. With respect tot British Isles,' or' England, Wales, and Scot land, form an island called ' Britain : 1 how you can make the plural number of it I know no;. I am, Sir, Your humble Servant, A SUBJECT OF Tilt MNG. London, Oct. 17, 1809. • In compliance with the request of one Corte 'pendent we bare inserted his totters we ham nei ther the vanity to hope, nor the bigotry to insist, that our opinions are incontrovertible. Our rea. sons for sag/testing the assumption of the Impe rial title by the Monarch of the United Kingdom, are founded not on our own partiality for titles, but on the effects produced by such distinstions on the minds of the mass of mart. kind. Between the two great and potent England and France, the dominion over Europe is coefesseilly divided. While France is in actual isosseseion of the Continent, England permits or restrains, at pleasure, the maritime in.. terceurse of the otber quarters of the Globe with the Continent of Europe. And paransoant as Fresco is on that Continent, the almost boundless colonial possessions of England—her irresistible navy—her industry.--her mechanical ingenuity— aud her commercial ascendancy, may well beadle mated as conferring a power fully equal, if not superior, to even that which France has at last at. tabled by her success in the last struggle of Amine. But Peace must at some period arrive; for perpe.l teal War, we apprehend, no man anticipates. That the title of N'APOLLON meet be recognised, as a preliminary to even negotiation, we as. same as an incontrovertible position. If, then, the King of ENOLVID acknowledges the Empe. rot of FKANCE,--not only throughout Europe, but iu Asia, will the superiority of rank amnngst the kingdoms of Europe he conceded to France t. That stark admission were inconsistent with even, very obvious policy, we think it not difficult to thew. " England," says NAPOLEON, 66 cosmos cc contend against France tingk.kasedeci."......How long she can contend against France single.handed it is impossible to foresee. But England has con. tended singlo.handed against France. The resist. ance of Spain, and the campaign with Austria, have for the last twelve mouths taken off the great - weight of the French force. But England may now be said to be contending aingle-handed not only against France, but against the concentrated strength of France, Rolland, and all the Nur. therm Powers; and whenever negotiations for Peace shall be opened, England will certainly de. mend to treat upon an equality with France, or we very gnittly mistake the character and temper of the people of this Empire. To assume, therefore, a title of equality, does appear to ns absolutely and indispensibly necessary. In the Mediterranean, nn the banks of the I3os. phorus, throughout the Peniusnla of India, at the Court of Persia ' in China, and throughout the whole Continent of Asia, the machinations of the French aro at this moment, though silently and unobserved, yet universally and indefatigably in operation. In India French agents aro ac. knowledge) to be very numerous, and it is well known that they are scattered user very distant parts of Asia. The character and achievements of Naeotssui; French industry and address have communicated in even the remotest regions. The influence of external pomp, and of title, in every place that we have mentioned, is so well known, that it were superfluous- to argue that point ; and it is imposale hle to doubt that iu all future negoelatioas, whether commercial or political, the French will not neglect to avail themselves of every saperlorl. ty, whether affected, real, or imaginary, that sea increase-their weight end influence is 'WOW". of Princes, accustomed to attach to 01111 title insportaice infinitely beyond what is 1 ebb Europe. Even In Europe the operation of sae, a superiority would neither be unseen, nor unfelt., The situation of British Ambassadors and En. voys ill the Courts of Europe would not be very Osmond, with h rank inferior to that of the a gents of France ; but in the Cowls of the Dan. bary and Mediterranean Powers—which are amongst the favourite objects of I'rsueh commer. cial policy, their ascendancy would be powerfully promoted. In Constantinople, in Persia, in In. die, in China, and throughout Asia, the opera. don of the principle would finally operate mate,. rially to the promoties of French influence. To admit the superiority or right of paramount precedency of France in the Courts of Europe, now undergoing so important and entire a change, were in our opinion most impolitic, and might possibly, apd eveu probably, excite diplomatic arrogasace, which would lead to disputes, the con. sequences of which might be highly ineoevesient. We are arguing not only on the presumption of our suggestion! being the prtsorsor of PEACE but en the rithability that 11 may trod to prevent the revival of dispute s by tithing away the Wu. rat jealousy eacitrd by superiority. Whatever accesNion or title the aad Of the French Nation may *link proper to ameme, to us it appears politic, and expedleut, thin the Head of the Waked Empire of Great Britain and Ireland. should assume 4 title of equality. In this opi. ciao, wefts, perhaps be singular, hot it is our elision, midis rounded on the wish for PEACE, sod for the preservation of PEACE. With re. spa* to the istarality of the title, we beg lave to opprist te our Gerrespoodeet, that the Islands adjammt to Britain hare erect been comprehended under the poemi title el the British 101, in . clodlog 'erne, or Ireland, the Western Isles of Seetland 4 4a.--booe would the title of King &gland neesesaslly merge bate that of Epperor of the British Isles. • imetiowrawmeasoa 7'IIE47'RM GOVENT-GeiRDEN.
