Without affe.i. img to dive into any gr.-it d ;pth of political re st. trch. but str tidily keening in our virw, the ac tea' changes which hare talvn place in the telt this country with 'France. since Ron, PAnr t with 'Pew hit trolls from the heights of Boulogne, a id duly appreciating the probable elr-as of sta-h c'...rt e sle:, we are inclined to think, that notwiih. • van .ing the increased influence of France, that nntwithuand•ng the oriistra. an i subjugated Nate of cite cronnr-ie: Of Cat:in:nta I Europe, and t'imigh the obi:as of ctidition h .v.• com;.l-tetv faded. and the compait itself has been .6.101 iied, there is in •he orevnt state of Great Britain and France, powerful inducements with lalth to enter upon a ni-gociation. and to t onulude such a peace, as it will he the interest of both countries. in the pur s•ii: of their respeaive schemes of policy, to uphold and preserve. Ir must be frequently in our view. that the obstruelions to a separate peace ate entirely re rnoved,that by the conduet of the Court of Sr. Pews burgh. this country, proudly conspicuous for the atria maintenance of her goad faith, has now deservedly the merit of that high cheracter, without being enbjelted to those impediments, which, on the nil lion of the Earl of LAVOIRDALi, in no atirtall degree contributed to render that nego tiating' fruitless. We are, therefor*. now disentan gled from the consideration of complicated and fre quently clashing interests, and the policy and duty of both Governments would be to appreciate their own separate interests, sn weigh the nature and im portance of the erriiv.lents and concessions in the power of each to give, always contrasting the aaual acknowledged naval superiority of Great Britnin with the extended Continental preponderance of Trance. ?edged in the resolution which has takes place in the French appetite for dominion, however we lament even its consummation, we still must ;distend, that it is moth less h.‘stile to our interests, and snore conducive to successful negociation, than the Jacobin principle. whi* denied all interference with conquered countries, under the revolutionary cant of the integrity of the French empire. In the changes of the old Get manic Constitution, in the new Confederation of the Rhine, in the esta blishments of the new Dynasties of Westpl.alia and Warsaw, and in the probable views of Bort A e A at x on the Hanseatic Cities, there is an extensive bobverbi• n of old establishments, and a boundless event of French influence. But they are merely transfers of lower and supremac:, without the least increase to the aaual aggrandisement of France. Indeed to him who closely scrutinises the anions and objeas of NaroLausi, during the lau campaigns, it will ap pear that they were more direaed to elevate aul d;gnify the family of Bog AAAAAA than to promote the ultimate security of France. Here then are in• sincements with BONAPARTE to negotiate. Here is a great change in the rulati.ms between Great Britain and France. Since the late negotiation tat the Eul of LAILDLIIDALL the number and the natute of the equivalents are considerably augmented an.l clanged. It is true, as to him, they are the result of his auccess, and the fruits cf his vi Tories. Still they are incl:nplete. They want in the mind of Bo a rn-u , r;al confirmation. With all the chardteristic imp itience of humanity, he thirsts for that which it is most difficult to ac Ittire, and esti. • mat-, i.s •alutt by Co: strength of the oppsition which restrains his gratirization. In a word, he wants the aclinnwlealgracnt of Great Britain With out it, 1w cnnc.iter s di-tenure nt his greatness and his • •ia.

It is Lis true policy; and ;t the lame rims that it guarantee, the security of his throne of his (dynasty, it gratifies and flatters the passions and vanity .Ithe motif. It is for Great Britain to make the most of her acquiescence. It is a mighty gown to him, and demand; important compentation. will be said by some s i nguiar patriots, that it is a base and dastardly policy.

But is there nothing to apprehend from the ex tended an i hostile int:unce of France in the North of Europe, and over those countrie: up:.n which we are loored to depend fur the most important ma. I terials of our naval stores ? Above all, ought we to overlook the great increase of wealth and capital the attainment of Peace must impart to a country so coinmercially engaged as this; and which, when ever the zonduct of Fra.oce imposed the aecessiiy. would enable us to recommence hostilities with ree newest energies and ren seated vigour ? The policy of bon countries directs to a Peace ; and neither, in the result of its being completed, would lose sight of the necessity of increasing its security, or of im proving the resources for attack. So far they would yroceed pars equal. It is impossible, in a question of flis kind, to overloot an inference forcibly suggested by a care tut coutempiatioo of the passions and hob:4 of the Head of the French empire. Hasty in the tayres slims oi his vengeance, end bu led up by the splen did events of Ms tot tone, he had menaced Great Britain with invasion, mad tar that apparent pur. pose assembled his numerous armies opposite our shores. It is a question wnetuer they ever Weft seriously intended fur the avowed objeß, or win dier they west not concentrated in that quarter must appropriate Wit C 42111411113446011 of the de ! lusion, and as the most convenient tkpti for im mediately marching to execute his then not sufaci 'lolly matuied objets against the Continent. At all events, he has tried the eifeds of his donhle.handed policy, and has proved that the scourge with which Le menaced us, was intended for the degra dation and suffering of others. Su.h pilafs re lieved him for a time from the necessity either of giving up or realising his promise of invasion. But the moment is now arrived when France and the world will call sposifam to attempt its execution. Will he make the attempt? Are not his means for accomplishing it considerably deteriorated *inn the Prussian war With all the rapidity which charac terises his movements, with all that seeming want of preparation and fare-thought, which, on a first view, surplice, yet nearer observation will convince us, that he carefully measures the intervening obstacles, and never makes the advance until he has almost the moral certainty of succeeding. The probability is, that he will not invade. He knows the variety of impediments, the superiority of his enemy on that element, where even he, the darling of For tune, has been universally disappointed. He is aware of the manners and spirit of the people whom be has threatened, and of the incalculable danger to the scot, ity of his own throne, in case of failure and defeat. What then it the alternative left to him ? Negotiation. How should Great Britain receive it By turning the hasty and irritable feelings of her enemy to bet advantage; by gaining from the di lemma to which this stressing Conqueror is reduced by his own insolence and vanity, that which his injustice would refuse ; and what, from a chain of unfortunate circumstances, she is at pre. sent disabled from demanding. Sine. the octit maces of the late campaign, Malta, for which'we weut to war, has lost considerably in comparative importance. Sicily, the Om gat sou of the last negotiation. is also materially depreciated. The cession tat the Mouths of the Cattaro puts Bona- PAST& in possession of the navigation of the Adriatic, and will most probably lead to his attain. meat of the Grecian Islands. Of course, from geographical reasons, Malta and Sicily lose greatly in comparative value. as France will command the key of the Levant, although a British, fleet should blockade Toulon, or British croisers ride triumphant in the Msditerraneen. Indeed, under such a state of things, we cannot we the policy of continuing an expensive war, without as obit& or of refusing to accede to terms of negsciatios, which we trosfiderstly presume *maid be headed on interests ao slcipro. ago. eally onviceable, that allowing the 0../as *sixes to subsist with undiminished vigour, it would be the policy of both nations to fulfil them, eve% with the view or u:tita insuring the oleander% of their designs against each other. - _ FOICEIUN lAI 6/AR/6:VCR.

Marshal Masque has key at Paris for some days. It is said that his Serene Highness the Prince of Neufchatel, is g3oe to the Head-Quarters of Mar shal Brune. It is generally imagined that the ob je@ of his jou•nef relates to a negotiation com menced with the Swedish Goya-nine:a. A corps of the army, which is supposed to be des tined to.shat the ports of Portugal against the Eng lish, in case the Court of Lenioa should not accept the mediation of Russia far the re-establishment of maritime peace, is assembling near the Western Pyre nees. it is said that General Juin., Governor of Paris, will have the command of it, and that Isis Excellency is to set out to-morrow week, to put himself at the head of this corps, which is to be called " hhe Corps of Observation of the Gironde." ALlltlif I. It is asserted. that the condo.% of the King of Sweden has irritated the Swedes aglinst him to such a degree. that he could not possibly have re ceived a worse reception than ke did at S.ralsuad, and that be was that two days afterwards when riding abroad. If it Isle true that this ?glace has met with so deplorable a fate, he is the third King of Sweden that has been assassinated within the last century. It is easy to foresee the political cot:- sequences take death. Ta a certainty they would sot be favourable to the enemies of the peace of the Cbotioent. The extraordinary entertainment given last night in the garden of Tivoli , by way of rejoicing for the peace, and the return of the k.mperor, attraaed an immense concourse. The public was highly satis fied with the dexterity of Foriosa's company, and the beauty of the fire-work% which were played off at ball past ten. A fire balloon was launched, and. rose majesti cally to a sufficient height to be seen by all Paris, and was instantaneously enveloped .in flames, pro duced by the fire-works which it contained. At eleven o'clock precisely, M. Garneria having bees informed that the person who was to accompany him, had changed his mind, nimbly leaped into his car, and rose, wishing a good night to the specta tors, who replied with unanimous acclamations. The balloon, the same that was used at the coronation at Milaa,was decorated with festoons of coloured lamps, which enabled the eyes follow it, till it mingled with Weans.
