After bee. iue t rn y combination of whit h tbeStates of Europe a.rt c •pable turned to the uses Ilad perpelkell of 13unaparte, we may, to crown tike whole, see From* Auitria, Prulibia, and Sweden, combined againt • Iluesso • . . Anticipatiisg, as in this eveot we must do, the • further humiliation of the latter Power, it is easy to foresee that Sweden, now under the control of Napoleon, will be aggrandised at her expense. not only with the rebtoratiuu of Finland, but with the acquisition of fresh territory, to render her in future more a match for the potent Emperor of the North, no looser Potent, or the fluttered friend of the Cor sican. The Westphalian, and other adjoimug rissoliroom Monarchs, will share in the spoil and plunder. Austria, with whom Bonaparte must now be believed to act in cordial concert, will have her long.cherisbed ambition gratified with the pos. sessiou of Wallachia and Moldavia—provinces on' which for these many years she has kept a covetour, eye, and for which she has consented to the sacrifice of her best (arid should have been dearest) subjects -.-the gallant sod faithful Tyrolese. It is a sin gular fact, end affords another proof (were another proof necessary) of the miserable, misguided,, and besotted councils which have prevailed, antstill do prevail, over the ancient Goverinvients of Europe, that for the last dozen of years the favourite pro ject of the Austrian Cabinet has been to extend the empire )4 acquisitions towards the South, and. more than any other, by the attainment of Moldavia and Wallachia. For these province% as we have al ready policed. she has sacrificed the Tyrol to Bo naparte ; that is, she has given up the most faithful sod brave people under her dominions. in the hope of being recompensed with the government of a people, who, tram their habits ; and religion. must cordially detest the.,Austrian a one. For the pre radios religionist Moldavia and Wallachia is the Greed—Abaci which there cannot be any other tibia holds so strong and rooted an eatipathy against the predominating faith in the Austrian States. Yet it is • well-known truth. that since the iutrigttaettf Luccheoni, the favourite project of the Austria Cabinet has beta to make so troublesome and useless an acquisition. Should a contest iu the North take place, it will indeed be aliens to ate the various parts per formed by Sweden, Denmark, Prussia, &c. We know that the first-armed country is only held in the Frenckinteetta by means of the prevailing fac tion; Denmark, through good and had, has hither. to still been faithful to the cause of Napoleon; sad Prussia le so completely humbled, that she mat alibiing to whatever her enslaver may dictate. But there ass been a strange revolution in Norther* Politics within the last few weeks; and the 'lea. tion of Bernadotte, while it may have secured Sweden to Bonaparte, has in all probability lest hini Denmark. It should be remembered, that the King of Denmark was one of the caudidata for the honour which this creature of Napoleon has borne away. The consequent disappointment was suffi,Sently galliug ; but the mortification was still further increased by knowing, that rather than permit the King of Denmark to be elected Crown Prince. Bonaparte was ready to support the claim,. of Comm Gotiurp, alio Gustavus Adolphus. This feet, scarcely known in Great Britain, is neverthe less true, and most satisfactorily accounts for the extended liberty enjoyed by the exiled Monarch during the election. He was permitted to advance towards his late kingdom ; but, Bonaparte finding the a:strips* set a-foot was sufficient to insure the election of Bernadotte, had no further °cession for Gustavus, and lie was again ordered to retire. Should Denmark, disgusted by these intrigues, by the par return made for all her services, and by the desire evinced to take military passessios of Holstein—should she turn round. and make cointams ecuse with Russia in a %Tar against Prance, the result must be very favourable to Bri. tans. We shall not speculate on the issue of such • war. We snitch fear that the overwhelming power of Napoleon, hacked by Austria, must ulti mately prevail. Yet the very circumstance of war taking place at all, must be very beneficial. In the first place. it woad operate • diversioo is fs. your of Spain ; and is the next. it would. at least for • time, opera the Bailie to one asamarce. Both these are moss important to the interests of Europe. and more peculiarly of England. Even a struggle for lialfm-year would enable us to iota port • vast quantity of Northern produce. most neceseary to us; and, at the same time, work the Continent with our Colonial surplus and stagnated enanufactures. Then. terminate as the conflict might—however much iu f of Beriamertesaaave would have the consolation of knowing that the Continent, and particularly the North of Europe. could not be more unproductive to us, or more ob i atinattly shut against us, than it Mat this moment.

THE BRITISH PRESS. t•M''' m LONDON..•' FRIDAY. OcrOita S. We were correct in stating yesterday, that Lu cian Pus A V.IRI'K has been sent to Malta, and not to Gibraltar, there to remain until instructions . re specting him are received bum. Government. A letter from the farmer place, given ip another part of this Paper, greatly increases the intere-t that 'night be otherwise felt for his fate. At first he was regarded AS a fugitive from fear of his Brother's displeasu-e. and to avoid the honours which weir sought to be forced upon him. However ferocious ,NAPOLEON may be, a hatred of his Brothers lies slot until now been reckoned among his manifold crimes. On the contrary, it is inconsistent with what has been always supposPil to constitute the top of his ambition—the estobliAinent.of a BONAPARTE Dy nasty. The Malta letter gives a very different view of LUCIEN'S case, and of the character of his tyrant Bloater. It slates, that NAPOLEON had pressed hint to 'divorce his wife, become King of Rome, and permit his daughter to marry FEE.. DI NAND VII. ; but that LUCIEN had obstinately resisted his entreaties ; and that in revenge Na• PO LLON had banished him from the Cmitinent of Europe. Thus circumstanced, lie set nut from hit seat near Rome, accompanied by his wife, their seven children. and suite, amounting in the whole to upwards of forty persons, and embarked at Unita Vecchia, with intent to settle in America. Aware. however, that the sea was covered with the British Navy, and apprehensive of capture, he thought it best to throw himself upon the gene rosity af the English. and voluntarily court that fate which there was so little chance of his being able to avoid. Ile accordingly proceeded for Cag liari. the capital of Sardinia; and having told his story to Mr. HILL, one Minister there, he claimed his protection. Mr. lit Lt., however, did not think it advisable to receive him ; and seat kW. his family, and suite, in the Ponvone frigate, to Malta ; where they have been allowed by General OAKES to re side, on condition of LUI.I E N remaining a prisoner of war moil the arrival of instructions from Eng land.--Granting that NAPOLEON'S selfishness Is extreme, that his heart is as hardened and de prayed as his ambition is bound,. , s, and that nip mural or natural lie or olite;atio i , couol far a mo• meta impede or retar,l the compt,filon of his wishes ; still we doubt the truth of that part of the story which repte.ents Litt' LN • 'needled man, and not a voluntary tale.

Ibis emigration to America has been accordingly long contemplat ed as a probable event ; and 'when first mentioned in the foreign prints as having actually taken place, it did not excite either doubt or surprize. But, had his departure from the Continent of Eu rope been compulsory, the cruel, ungrateful, and . unnatural order, which sentenced him to trans portation, world, we must presume, have provided the means for carrying it into execution. NAPO. trust surely would have prepared a vessel for his votive) once, and not left it in his power to' inflict the deepest wound that ever mortified his pride, airs the deadliest stroke that was ever aim . ..A against his ambition; at the same time that it •is the high. est compliment that was ever paid to the British character, and gives a deeper dye to the guilt of NAPOLEON then say which it ever reel-teed from the poisoned bowl of Jaffa, or the midnight murder of the. Duke D'Ennatex !--.The course which Ministers will adopt upon this interesting occasion, is a subject of anxious and general speculation and inquiry.. Have they sense enough to make the proper use Of this fortunate windfall ?—Will they frank him to Philadelphia, or order him to London? , Will they treat him with jealousy and suspicion as a Stems ; or will they receive him with open arms, ' and with all the rights of English hospitality, as a virtuous stranger in distress, who has intrusted his family and fortune to their generosity ?--Not know ing all the information which Government may have received on the subject. we are not competent to give a positive answer : but whether the migra tion of I.vcias be voluntary or compulsory, whe ter it be a punishmeat or an act of choice, we do think that he means fairly and honestly. With what sinister view, and for w hat criminal purpose, could he go to America. and venture his all in a strange land ? Is it to revolutionize the TranmattlanticWorkl, and carve oat a kingdom for himself in the wilds of the Mississippi. urea the banks of the Plata ?—He could have had titles and kingdoms, comics stud sceptre., at home. without the troable of making them : they have been forced upon him. and be bas rejected them with obstinacy and with iadigantion.— Can it then be sopposed that be would go to Ame rica. to as..ist in those revolutionary schemes in which lie refused, under every advantage and with every temptation es wellies respect tal siseress. to take a pert at home ?—Such • r solution would odt rage all probability, and cannot be endured few • moment—L , America he could have no chancy of success. or say plan of this kind.
