The iuore studiously he endeavours to suppress kis disgraces, the more will they be suspected and • atm ned.

The Duke of Wtawsmnsao has recei►ed& sommowe to attend the Government "5 • of Vienne; obvionsly aware of the impending storm, is using every means to incre.ise, to organise s and to discipline She forces of the Monarchy. Such seems to be the position and aspect of the Con tinent, according to the leaf feeble and imperfect lights which are afforded us. In the event of a speedy renewal of hostilities between France and Austria, however the total ex hausture of Prussia. or the timid, prudent, and nations policy of Saxony, might induce or compel both those States to remain neutral, it is difficult to imagine that Russia would be a mere spectator of such a contest: what part then would Autz •isza take ? Would he, as the enemy of Great Britain and of Sweden. as the ally of BowaritavE, and, as his instrument to subjugate the Spanish to a vile Usurper, join his arms to those 41 Nati A? Would he. as far as in him lay, rtialise the plan attributed to him in The Connote Casette of the nth of August, and divide the Con tinent of the civilised earth, on this tide the At lantic, with the murderer of the Duke D'ENGHiEN; who has recently attempted, by the most flagitious practices, to seize on the dominions of his friend, sod whose crimes almost seem to reproach the justice of Providence I Are the nobility, the army, and the people of Russia, so sunk or se passive, as to become the agents of such a league ? Would no recollections, drawn front the Russian annals, terrify or operate on ALZIANDEIei mind ?—We cannot venture to solve these questions. We trust that a policy more mag nanimous, more moral, more consonant to every sentiment of wise, safe, and practicable expediency, would sway the Cabinet of Petersburgh. Bat we axe oot wholly without apprehension, that, during the interviews and rouferetices of Tilsit, some pro. positions or pleas, resembling those of whish the outline is gives ate The Corneae Gazette, were laid before the Emperor by his Contican conqueror.— The Muscovite Empire is, in fact, far more an Asiatic than an European monarchy ; although Pelee, Tea GREAT. by abandoning Moscow, in order to fix his residence and his court at Peters burgh, became a member of the latter confedera tion. It is too possible, that a ductile Prince, who saw himself • prisoner in the bands of NAPO. xxox, who had witnessed his triumphs, and who beheld in him the Sovereign of the West, might be deeded and induced to become himself the Sove reign of the East. Thus, like the Houma and the Perthian Empires, in antiquity, or like the Eastern and the Western Empires of Rome, dividing be tween them Europe end Asia. Of this filet we have' however no proof; and we wish to consider it as an illusion, invented, per haps propagated by NsroLeou for his own pur poses. Should war commence nevertheless between France and Austria, it is impossible that a Power so circumstanced as Russia now is, particularly in Fin/and. and ou the Tagus, ►hould fail to take an affirmative part, hostile ar amicable. in the destiny of tbeCouttnent. . The Eurydice, of 24 guns, and the Primrose, of te, with about to transports with troops, sailed on Wednesday from'Plymouth far Spain.

Haycock, three Miss Barns, Mr. and Miss G. Field. From this selection, it would appear that no Watering Place in England is more abundantly supplied with provisions, and the means of pro ducing the best species of animal food, and yet we did net find the name of a single London Alder maw in the list of visitors since the commencement. This is the more surprising, as we understand many other names equally attractive might be found in the town, which private reasons induced the owners to conceal, preferring, as it is called among travellers of distinction, a strict iscogaito. Among these were John Doe and Richard Roe, Capt. Die, &e. Yesterday morning, at half-past ten o'clock, his Royal Highness the - Duke of YORK left hi, apart ments at St. James's, for Wandsworth Flats, near Hanford, to review the 15th Light Dragoons, or King's Hussars, commanded by his Royal High ness the Duke of CUMBERLAND.

Mrs. SIDDONS is still upon a visit to Lord and Lady HAACOeRT. It is highly probable that the public will no more be gratified by the exertions of this unrivalled actress. The Edinburgh Theatre, it is said. will close nn the sth of next mouth, hut we suppose there will be an after-season, as Mr.. Euwin is said to be en gaged. Mr. BANNISTER and his Budget have arrived at Chester.

On Monday, Colonel M•enews gave a dinner to the Officers of the tat Herefordshire regiment. and Colonel Mittman', Inspecting Field -officer of the district, at Belmont. After the cloth was re moved. the Colouel, in a neat speech. stated, when the elegant vase on the table was presented to him by the Officers of the regiment, it was filled with the beverage of the county; on the present oc colon, it contained the liquor that approached nearest to cyder (old hock), and he felt happy in the opportunity of pledging his friends around The cup then went round, and the evening was con cluded is the most convivial manner, the company not separating until a late hour.

The first and third afforded good sport: The second was yrry keenly contested. The whole was conducted in such a manner as to do great credit to the Steward., The 'fineness of the day greatly contra/toted to the other sports, which were attended by many thousand, of spectators, who, after regaling thetn,...lyr/, in the inns and booths fitted up for the purpose, retired., much pleased with the sports of the Joy. The Steaanls, after electing their successors, dined at the ordinary et Caueneit's.
