From the Nene, which forms, with the Seam, the Entrance of the battle, down to Vigo, not a 'creek, nor a harbour, nor a river, nor a neutral spot of ground rendaiiis : .411 is France. though not strictly denominated by that appella tine. to consequence of this subjection of the ma ritime powers and territory to one ruler, it becomes not only dill cult, but almost impossible, for Aus tria, riussia . , sir Saxony. however disposed they 1114:p be, to can. nnn 111C4iI! 111 any shape with the Go verionent of this country. Priissi I, though nomi nally an existing state, and io possession of various polls on the Baltic, )et du-es not either trade, or evil' hold any intercourse with Great Austria is nearly iii a similar predi , :ninent ; for though Triest is still open us a place of commerce, and consequently as a medium for the transmission of lute lligence ; yet if we consider its local poi tio.i ut the head of the Adriatic, and the circuitous, as well as precarious nature of a voyage from thence to any part of Spain or of Portugal, num capita by the French, it amounts, in *soint of fact, almost to a total preclusion of all confidential communication. Turkey labours under the same isoida4e, nod under equal impediments. It is therefore almost impossible for these powers to coalesce. nr to ccuicert any siianltuneous effort fur their emu: non extrication from their ',result lametit able subjection to the oke of Fraiiee. Netw.,Mtaiitling, however, these multiplied ~ which NAPOLEON'S tyraiiiiical dlspotisam lias mflleted or impos,sl on the slaves who are ed iniiterl still to assume the royal or imperial title ; and notwithstemlittg the probable de structiou which must immediately foilow ally attempt on their part to esnaucipate themselves ; it is certain that such inteutions or plans are already matured, and even ready to Inc disclosed. The jouri.eyof FRLDERIC WILLIAM and his QuErst to St. Petemburgh. the isoginentiii; ferineunition in the Russian dome 'nous, which has broken out into acts of violence, or of ilisaffectioO ; the 10:•eisation of unigazilies, the purchases of grand, and the inlitary preparutions or. levies actively coutianed throughout the Aus trian States; all these symptomS announce the up/would% storm. Germany will probably ex hibit speedily u scene of war, and other battles will be fought on the leriiks of the Rhine, the Dansilv, and the %labile, beforr IiJNAPARTI: eau place env of his r..letions or generals on the thrones 1101, occu picd by their uicient sovereigns. The silent Lut rapid return of the tyrant, from Oil Castile to Paris; his sudden and unexpected appearance in that cart ai ; his prompt reititivA from thence, after scarc..l ,hewing !Mime:int the opera. to time fro:a . tier of Germany; the andpensian of military opera. • tions in Spain, and the announced arrival, in a short I time, of the imperial guard from that country, at a moment wheu their presence end exertions are most wanted beyond the Pyrenees ; these events eh quently pourtruy the agitations and apprehensions of BONAPARTE. Those fear. are by no means either groundlt'AS or imaginary. Desperate and lost as the condition of Europe seems, yet there are principles of resusil tatioa in the mass, which emit sparks, an•l which may kindle into flame. Revoli4ion, and despot and conscription, have all their limits, which, once attained, things return in a contrary direction. NAPOLEON seems nearly to have reached that point. Many plaunomena announce it, though nut per ceptible by every observer. If he has not been completely foiled in Spain, he has been opp,o. and in many places repelled or vasiquieted. Not one hal of that peninsula is subjected to him, at the present hour; mid his presence, which iirought ictory with it, is now withdrawn. The Castilian pertinacity will nut be subhued by his representa tive ; we shall prolialily soon hear °fir:lit:PH reinov . ing a second him! to Burgos. 'Fliroughout Italy, but partiiadarly South of Naples, Jou:tines new' snhjects have rig n against him. But the circum stance which, more thou all, threatens the duration of NAPOLEON'S usurpation, is, the desertion among hisforeigu, and the a eariness among his French sol diery: Ills throne stands upon one principle us its ba-i.; that military despotism, and the government of one tyrant, is preferable to anarchy, revolution, and the guillotine. It is so, we must own; and the French have gratefully recognized this priaci ple, in the person of a Corsican soldier of fortune. But, if his insatiable ambition, or his guilty terrors, condemn the French, and Europe, and mankind, to perpetual war; if nothing short of complete revolution, from Portugal to Sweden, can allay the tempest in his ratted, or give repose to the earth, the evil will redress itself. We believe that the term approaches, though the mode and time of its accomidisliment remain AB yet concealed., THE BRITISH PRESS. LON DON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25. ESCAI'Z OF ME Bkrxr FLEET. The Racoon sloop of war, Capt. WEi.su, arrived on Saturday morning, at Portsmouth, with iutel h4ence of the escape of the French Bret from Brest. The Racoom was on her passage to Cudiz, a lieu. on numbly noon off U►huut, she fell iii with the Lyra sloop of war, Capt. nEVANS, Nhich ship laid been just dispatched to Plymouth by the reconnoitring frigate stationed off Brest, with intelligence, that all the ships of war :that acre reirily fur sea in Brest, had escapist out. either oa Monday night last, or curly on Tues day morning.— They had not been seen by any of the ships ou that . station, the course they steered is nut known, nor is their destination—the wind was northerly.—Copt. WELmt conceiving it to he of essential importance that early information should he communicated to the Admiralty of the circumstance, made every possible haste to Ports mouth; on Isis arrival there it was immediately com municated to London by telegraph. It k stiiptwed, that. as Lord IMIIIEn, who sailed from Torbay on Tuesday afternoon. was not at his station on Thursday, his Lordship had received the inform;ttion, and had gone in pursuit.—The opinion as to their destination is divided between Cadiz and Martinique.—lt is apprehended that they will be joined by the six sail of the line, (two of which are three tlecket,), which the French took possession of at ferrol.—The following ships sailed from Tor bay oitii Lord GAMBIER, 62.—Caledgnia, I to, Ad miral Lord CIAMBIEII, Captain Sir U.

What a golden opportmiitb• did 'Mr. C•ti SING possess, on Friday night, had he the promptitude of that great man, to puy a splendid compliment to M►. SHERI• DAN, his toition • and friend : The sun, whose cheering rays shone upon his eddy youth, and ri pened him into manhood, was then, 'tis true, over clouded ; but the fruits of his KTDIII*, Dueler the in fluence of a devouring element, rivalled, at the moment, the splendour of that4iamimiry. and Riled the sky with its descending glort. It has happened, more titan once, that the citizens of this grist me tropolis have been kit:cling with delight, in crowd ed houses, at Covent-gardeu and Drury-Ism., to - Mr. StIERID.t May.. wondering Senatss were valuated wigs his •:ices The page s f , history presents 114 a.:!, Pi -is, Statcsineu, s e al Orators, but, witi, liar :ice-snug of Mr. Sutoni., a e have heard t•f i t. mar, die powers and ctitan ity of a':rsr mind endaare., them all, who was ut the t :mum and the TLIIENCL of his age.

If, then, inn tea case of a fire or a flood at Leyden, or a Ititriieaue in the We.t Indies, a Briti►h public could feel ter enemies and strangers, how powerfully must their sensibilities lie awakened by the calamities of a man, in whom every subject of England has an interest, and whose talents constitute him au object of public care.—What mere public feel. ing or private friendship Lay suggest to retrieve • h:s affairs, we cannot anticipate. IVitether tinny lane Theatre is to rise again, a plimitix. from its ashes, or whether, at a monsent of unexamplA pressure, a moment we confess moat milatrouraLle for any exertion of public spirit, he is to find a sups port in the liberality of the State, we copilot p:•. amine to say.—The City of Loudon, which, by its vote, considered him the mau worthy of reeorelia; the transeendant merits of Lard NEI,BOS, can..,:: be indifferent in such a cause.—Let it not be said that the capital and the country arc only jest to the dead, and know not how to honour awl reward living merit. The mitts who have had hearts mei hands open is the day for Spanish Patriots, must fact for the Advocate and Champion of those Pa triots, himself the best of Patriotssof whom any country could ever boast. Were such a man fni lered to be emit flown to the earth, by a calauid.y against which nu human prudence could guard, and no human power prevent, it would be a dis grace to the country to which he belongs, a dis grace to the age iii which he lives, and a subject ui reprobation and astonishment to posterity. Some of the papers say, that the case of the ' Duke of YORK being nov iu the course of trial, it would be indecorous to make any observa tions upon it.—This language in mc:e affectation, cant, and isquealuishitess.—lithe Duke of YORK be innocent, the more his ease is discussed the more it is for his advantage. Fal s ehood has every thing to fear, while truth has every thing to hope, Irian examination and inquiry.—ln the few obser vatimit., however, which we propose to make, we shall accommixlate ourselves to the taste of the Duke's bui-discst friends and advocates.— We will confine ourselves to his letter to the SPEAKER of the (louse of Commons, on Friday lust, as read from tile Chair, and laid upon the table, the authenticity of which, under such cir cumstances, we presume will not be qnsetionr,!. The first objectionable passage in that epistolary production that strikes us, is that where he de - dares his innocence " upon the honour of a PRINCE." We have heard of the honour of a Gentleman, and the honour of a Peer, but the ho nour of a Prince, as a recognised solemn sanction and asseveration of truth, is quite new to us. 1,1 public society, the laws of which are pammousit In all others inefficacy, the honour of a gent :t . ti.a.i equivalent to an oath. 141 the House of Lords the /meow of a Peer is rrceitv.l by the Constitution as an obligation equally binding; but of evideece delivered " upon the honour of a Privet" we met r heard heforc. 'this discovery was reserved for the new morality; the Copeuliageo morality of Mr. CAN NISIG and Mr. Pekin:vat; and zirtainly is m t to be• fou n d in any of the musty books of rut morality, which these gentlemen effect to despise. hut admitting the honour of a- Pritee to be as appeal recognized by usage, we think it mho.' I: considered " a custom more honoured is Metal than the observance," at the present moinent, that the honour of a Peer or the hamar of a Geo. tleman would have had as much weight with the . publie•.—Not many years have chinned since the Emperor ALEXANDER and the King of Paessts pledged themselves, as Printer. over the tomb of FitiDERICIL the GREAT, to eternal friendship and co-operation; ytt many months &A not elapse until one of these honourable Princes joined the staudard of his enemy, iind retired from the field, clud in the apoils of his fallen friind. Of all inju ries, the mast galling that one lintann being can indict upon another, i♦ to raise him high out of his sphere, Quad devil him t hc:e. „ "Quo, edit Bstraprlu• 4iss Jelit rests nests valour."
