A strong army is assembling ngainet the Russians is Finland. and if 16 peace do net soon tali. place,. the Russians will be oblized to withdraw. The events whnit have lately taken place in the Soutlr of Europe encourage us is hope for peace in the North." A Gentleman recently arrived from Bennis, gives the frollowing account of the politit•al state of that country Afters detention of several mouths, I obtained the liberty of vettiroi4 to England. We were hurried away from Revel: before we had eetnpleted our preparations.

This had been done by the connivance of the Government ; but Ceuftxcoer.r, the Freuela Ambeetudor, sent his agents, under die name of Collbllls, to every sea-port town, and stopped the commultic..tion with Euglatid. This celebrate,' character is in reality master of the Russian Empire. He has contrived to remove the greatest part of tilt Rue. siati annoy far from the scene of his intrigues. To say nothing of the invasion of Finland, he procured an order to send a large force to Archangel, under ' pretence that Fretlend meditated an attack on that place !

We have received some farther commttnicifions from Holland, sue of which, a letter from Rotter dam, of the .2td instant, repeats the rumour of the probability of an iiibnediato war between Austria :mil France. it adds, that Ru.s.ia, and even Prasam, reduced as she is, will co-operate with Austria is the impending contest. The glo rioas SUCCCWOMI of the Spaniards, and the defeats and discomfiture of BON APAI:TE in the south, could nut fail to give an impulse to the north, but ae tremble for the result. We fear he is not yet ripe for cutting down, and that his crimes and disgraces are not yet sufficiently known by the nations of Europe to have produced that moral effect ou the public inlaid, which, if coMplete, must render them invincible, and divest him of all Lis strength and nicans to retain them iu subiectiou.

It was only in the beginning of the year 1801 by the articles of the Police of Liineville, that Louts, Prince of Pima, was made King of Etruria. Botso.sarr. himself was the instrument of his elevation to. that sovereignty ; the very os tensible pretext of v.hich was, in order to recom pense CHARLES IV. King of Spain, for his fidelity and. all Iterence teFrance. Lot ts, Prince of Parma, had espoused, in 1:03, that Monarch's eldest dang,hter, the Infanta MARIA. LOCLIA of Spain; and the Queen of SPAIN herself was, as is well known, a Princess of Parma. The new King en joyed his precarious dignity,. conferred by polluted hoods, only u short time. After suffering under aliemititti of mind, he died shout four years ago, tenting one son, un.infant, who was committed to the totehi.,,ot of his mother. In this. delicate arid critical situation, surrounded by perils of et ery kind, the Quxxx Iltricxs, though herself not more than e 2 years of age, conducted the affairs of her son, stud of Tow:arty, with distinguis!,ed prudence and temper. But she never/betegs moot rested a spirit too lofty, and a mind too inde peudeat. to. submit her harbouss, commerce, and. revenuer:, to the unroutroulable disposal of her Corsican toaster. Oa more than one occasion she ereu ventured to resist, or to erode compliance with NAPOLEON'S orders, where they were of a notate obviously incompatible with the existence of Tub eany, as a free or on independent State. lu addi tion to these proofs of firmness in her griblic capa city, she was supposed to have given an offence still more wounding todite pride of the tyrant, in her priesie character, by refuels% to listen teeny proposals of marriage with the Boxsesave, or with the BE•utmeitoes fwnilies. ECORSE 1311A1.1- 9Riewssts arid Jteosiv. iloNsesitre were both suc cessively proposed to her as husbands. Bet the elevation of her sentiments would not allow her to ion-chose the ',annual poisetsion of a dependent principality, by an act of degradation ; and she refused to. contaminate the blood of BOURDON and of AUSTRIA. by an alliance with Narotowc, or with JOsiPtii: From that time her fall was unqueotiosontly detertmiezd, though cireatusteneet delayed ire execution-- In the commencement of the present )!1-, pin the Tyrant %Mind Mi en , the Queen Ti..
