PARIS. JUNt 30. It is not for us to endeavour to penetrate into the consequences of a day, so fer►ile in political results, as that of iriedlami ; bat whatever may be the ideas of that genius,. which has doubtless already conceived them, it is no longer in the power of his eternise to prevent them. The ascendancy of the eonfederacy formed under the auspices of France is henceforward incontestible. If the Emperor of :lonia and his feeble allies persist io making war. it east only be a series of losses and sacrifices far tl'•mt. The general fate of Burope is not less fiord Bo the deteemiltadon of the Emperor Napoleon what it MU, he is abli to raise an insurmouutable barrier against the proj-els of Russian ambition; be pousaies all the means of effeffing the changes necessary for the repose of Europe, and generously to indemnify the Bovereigns, who sincerely wish to accelerate that happy period. The vidory of rticclised is the knoaiessent of that political [fa. gee!, so often renewed against France by England. The British Government has irrecoverably lost the blood-stained clue of coalir,iont. It will be asked, with less anxiety than curiosity, what will be the lot of the King of Prussia. the whole of whose dominions will. in a few days. be is the possession of the French f We shall not under take here to discuss either the generous proposals which may have been mad. him. nor the imprudent missals by which they were socceesled. Before the battle of Friedland, he might still appear to possess eaugldieg to place in the diplomatic balance; he \vas still King of a few Province;, and of the relics of an army. As long as Russia and England left him any hopes, he might have bad some merit in sacs ficing them to his security; but pow that be is stripped of ever] resource, all that he may preserve must be a boon of the magnanimity of the Empe. Tor of the French: The most important consequence of this battle is. ptrbaps, the complete dissipation of that imaginary military glory which rendered the Russians formida ble to all nations. The fall of the Hyperborean Co. lossus will resound to the extremities of the earth. It will be heard by the Persians ; the Turks will re. ply to it with shouts of joy and victory ; and if it were possible for them to obtain any transient sue ceases in those quarters, they would only expose themselves to an immediate repetition of that dread lesson whicb they have just received from the Irt i his whole campaign his dearly demonstrated tlse Russians cannot stand before an army he.i.led by a chief worthy to command it.

All their best troops and .bleu °Seen had been eslested, called forth, formed, and fortified at leisure, during more than eight months, on their own frontiers. The Russian Cabinet. neglecting every thing besides, was the. toughly sensible of the necessity of contesting with the French army that superiority which it eroded.

N APLItS, JUNE 5. The expedition which sailed from Palermo under the command of the Prince of Hesse Philipstahl, and landed on the gth of May at Reggio, was composed of seven regiments, viz. the Philipstahlchasseurs, the chasseurs of Apulia, the grenadiers of Valdimaz &lra, the cavalry of Valdirnazzara, Samnites, can noneers, and pioneers. To this corps of the regular army was added a troop of brigands collected in Sicily. After the battle of the 28th, which was decisive, the General narrowly escaped being taken by two French Chasseurs. It is now known that he has re•embarked with a small number of his men ; all the rest were taken or killed ; six pieces of cannon, all their baggage and all their ammunition fell into our hands.—.—This expedition may be considered as the last ef fort of a Court blinded by its resentment, which ought, nevertheless, to be thorou g hly convin:ed that neither its troops one its banditti will ever be able to conquer a kingdom, l.st through its own fault, and now defended by a wise and valiant K,rng, furtified by the love of his subjefts, and sur rounded by 40,000 Frenchmen, accustomed for fifteen years to conquest, and forming part of a nation which has 200,000 men in arms, and has conquered all Europe. runs 9.
