On the contrary, they readily supposed that in inereasing their communications with her. they . should only have advantages to-partake, and no risk to run. It is in this elotible point of view, that we must considef the political ca feet of France and of England amidst the interests—the pas siene which agitate the States of Europe, and to fat:we the kaeceseion of fluctuations which they have caused the public opinion to undergo. • France imprints on her designs the character of frankness 'sod of generosity, which is natural to her; she seldom con geals her views; she almost always goes strait forward to hir. object. England empidys in her combinations alt ineans . that ears lead to success; tdo often she - employs-peace as a work fer war; the shole extent of her projects is not known till they are executed. She is rather dexterous a9ti crafty than strong. The one is seldom seereat the bead of coatitiont she has sometimes had to support the whole weight of those. into Which she has been led; and her Adelity,to her engagement. bas often imaosed on her the.sacrificteef her blood and of her . treasure. The other has heels constantly the soul of every league, principally of those whose object was the degradation or the ruin of France, and yet she -- ,has never hesitated to abandon them, when her efforts appeared to her to be above the reward which she expected from them': her - alliances-are commercial calculations, and her merchants knosr how to• hring back into her coffers the gold which he pays to Princes Mahe blood of-their subjects. If we analyse the consequences of the principles on which are founded the systems which have habitually gnided the ttvd Powers; if we follow with any attentive rye the varia tions of the prepcniderence whicb they have exercised over the states which are within sphere of their activity, we cannot dissemble, that France, possessing in herself all the elements tif .public , and private'prosperity, has had no dillienity in . r uatdin` g )tee elf against a spirit of invasion; that she has . been attire frequeutlk engaged is preserving than-, in . acastir... ing, in repelling than in attempting aggression, that eves to these latter times, several ages of wars, as one niay.say, here ditary, hat e procured her no other advantage titan that of re covering two or three proViticea, from thy earliest times in tegral parts of the'moriarchy, and whieli a litigated possession had separated fronaher, without operating ; as a proscription against the rights of Soveteiglity. England, on the Contrary, haring succeeded in erecting.for heiself, by her iaulustry and Ler commerce, a greatness wholly fictitious; evaa obliged, to support her power •by the same means that she acifurrq it. 'The more ardent her aainition was; the more artifices and evasion she was forced to employ, to conceal its progress, -to hide its activity; the • more her power passed its Data' al li e mits, the more efrorts and expence werepecessary-to support her in her elevation. Her precarious' situation led her to astride profoundly the nature of her relatiOns with the Couti neidai Powers.. She swin saw she could obt be strong except in the wealiness of others, and this knowledge has beCome the, basis-of her polies', and the invariable rule of her cin din t. which is - the " least praetised in i-renetrating the mysteries of politics, soon perceiyee this evii,ofsintrigues tin& wachin,.tions, siaeaus of which, England holds iind snores aCearsiing to her sole interest, that of impeding the v. v .... of. the Fairepean Governments, of stopping; -of st stroyintr a the industry of hations ; of 'turning aside the chap= Ada of commerce ; of making Europe rerrograide.towarcis bar- 1 harism, in order to enjoy ab , ot all the benefits of civili2ae • Cols.

Already, in 1799, we saw her hasten to terminate the warn India, to suspend, the vengeance which she medi• tated against Spain. She Made herself naediatrix between Thrliey and its enemies.

SOLEURE, Dec. 23.—A1l the world knows that Switzerland does not produce wherewith:U. to feed its inhabitanttc, it is by care: economy, - and fore sight that several of the cantons escape famine ; the Governments are often obliged to make pecu niary sacrifices to supply the wants of the indi gent classes. Let anyone then conceive our distress on see ing, in the middle of winter, numerous armies in vatic - our territory, and empty the magazines which- we were' accustomed to look upon as-our resource and our providence. The cniumn3 haNc. trftv.rszed the can , tons of - Berne, and taken the 'way to the Pays de Vaud ; tbey have lived every where by re.. qinsitinns, or rather at discretion, on the unfor tnnateinhabitants. Many detachments have also passed 'through our territory. The head-quar-• ters •of -the Prince of Schwartzenhergl . .have been far some days at Berne ; the Emperors of Russia - and Ati.4tria have passed the Christ mas Holidays there. Their equipages,- their retinue, the luxury of their head-quarters make a singular contrast with the modesty Of the Swiss ; but what astonishes them . most of all, is the lan-, gunge - of the courtiers. To hear them, the Allies have only to spew themselves for every • thing to give way to their army. - To such a degree does success dazzle people who are not used to -; hut Princes who are wise, and jealous of their repu tation, cannot listen to such language. It is af firmed, that the two Monarchs are going- to Lan. sanne. A part of the army of the Allies is al ready on the way to that town and Vevay. The town of Lausanne is plunged in grief. It appears that the Canton of Vaud will be sacrificed to thennthition -of Berne, which desires to brink back under its dominion Argovia and the Pays de 'Vaud. , Thus Nobles of Berne, ►►nder the name of Bai liffs, will exercise an unlimited authority over these unhappy countries, which are indebted to France for their liberty and politicarexistence. It is known for certain, notwithstanding all the precautions taken to conceal it, that Gen. Belli garde has failed, like his predecessor, General Ha.; ler, in attempting to pass the Adige. lie has lost many Inca, cannon, Ste. and pon toons,.and has been obliged to renounce this pro ject..

All the proclamations which it publishes produce no effect.

Our Diet is convoked, and will speedily assem ble, The debates will be Warm. The Canton of Berne will be violently attacked, and it will be dif ficult for it - to justify the conduct which it has ob 'served •under the present circumstances.

CHABANNES. • ROBBERY AND ATTEMPT AT ARSON. kmostAaring robbery was committed on Tues day afternoon, in'the,prernisei of G.,Sturinan iu Half Moon-street, Piccadilly. During- the oh , sence 'of the fatnilv, 'some ‘illaitis entered the 1 - iott'se bv ineansd . talse and.in, : .atitly pro ceeded the front parlour, where they broke open the book-case, and stole, in gold and Bank notes, to the amount of 6401. They atterivards went up stairs into the diningrrooni, where they packed up tfie whole service-of silver plate, to .an immense amount. The villains then broke open a .chest of drawers, and took Out wear ing apprel and Other - articles, besides a great mimitity. of jewels, ; &r. to the amount of about 3001. After they had committed the robber}, they set fire to the haelt parlour and staircase willr a coMpositian of 'turpentine, rugs, and se veral lrund:es of wood, and Other combustibles, which immediwely' enveloped the place•in {lames. They afterwards left the house with the property, and got off undiscovered. _An immediate alarm .was_ given on the flames being seen issuing from the hark part of the premises, and shortly arter wards a great nomber of engines arrived on the spot. The firemen instantly began to play, and fortimattiv the flames were got under, alter doing considerable damage tJ the premises. Lieutenant- , Colouel' 'BARNES, of whom made honourable mei4tion was made in the last .dis pat cites front Lord WE 1.1.1NG , T0 , displayed a lucky presence of mind, on the 1 ult., when, at the head of - his Regiment; bringing in '2OO prisoners, after being closely engaged with the enemy for several hoUrs, supported by the brave 9th. '' At this moment," says a young Officer, who served under him, when writing flume an account of the action, " the Royals were sta dehly out-flanked, completely irrotoocd by three French battelions. Here (he ac4cts) we stood for a little, in the most critical bltuation, neither they aor we apparently knowing what do. In this shot., interval of awful suspense; a French Major rode up to -Colonel Bixeses, and said to him, he was his prisoner, Sir, refilied the Co lonel, seizing hint by the cellar, von are mine. This ,itt once inspiied ,with determitted resolution the whole regiment, while - a sufficient number flew,-to defend their beloved Colonel; and knocked the Major from his horse ; the rest made instan taneously such a desperate charge, that, with the loss of :t Lientenaut and six .or severs privates, they completely paralysed and routed their assail ants, and brought in' the whole prisoners they had formerly taken,'' A must extraordinary attack has been made for two months past upon the windows of Mr. I - lotto . - SON, an Army Clothier in Soho-square, and still Continues' to be repeated without the authors of it beipg discovered. The attack on the windows of the back of the house, which look , into Dean street, begins about dusk ; they are broke almost invariable with coals, which 'sometimes aie so extremely heated, that they have set fire to the linen furniture of some of the rooms. The coals en tered the rooms with such velocity, that they have been suspected to have been thrown from an air gun. The mystery attending the perpetrators of this wanton act of mischief is considerably in creased by the cirennistance of Mr. IloncsoN's premises in,Soho-square being completely covered by a house and prmises in Dean -street, 'which are exactly opposite .to those in Soho-square, which he uses for his business ; and at the time the windows of his house in Soho-Square are broke, no - person is in any of the incenses' in Dean-stiete - . There have been hitherto about 130 squares of glass broke.. Mr. HoDGsom has had the attendance of some of the' Bow-street patrole,. to . endeavour to detect the mischievous antlrors, but in vain. At the time they were watching, the windows have been broke, and they have frequently received vio lent blows from coals, although they could not conjecture, or suspect, front whence they came. Mr. 1 - 10Dosote is in au equal dilemma,- not being able to suspect any person, nor being aware of any difference with any of his neighbours, that could induce them to do him such wanton in j u , ries. Thus the busin ess res t s up to t hi s t i me. , Mr. WAiNRIGUT, of Poplar, while riding a spi 7 - riled horse, in Leadetthall-street, yeter'aay, was . suddenly thrown front his saddle, and hiS eVe coming in el:tweet ` with one of the iron spikes connected with kedray,it was literally forced our on his cheek ; he was taken in the most excru ciating agony' to a neighbout ing Surgeon. - A Waterman yesterday undertook to cross tlae Thames on the ice at Battersea Bridge, -Im-a• trifling• Wager ; but.ere Ire-had performed one half of his tourney, he was precipitated into the Ri ver, and it was with considerable diffiCulty .he re-. , gained the.shore. . . _ RAM; Avis. -On Tue:sday last a person' of Bosted shot a white• starling', which was - One or ,a flock of birds of the ordinary' colour flyiiig- in the pastures round th a t tmvil. ilcing on'ey slight-. ly •vounded, it is yet alive.
