Exclusive uf the Princess, the great chtirrfi dig

Pari#. It ie, therefore. Concluded, that the'pre
? sent Pope is to be deposed, and Cardinal Fescb, half
brother to Buonaparte's mother, ie to be raised to
the holy See. This circumstance is very possible,
and that tume innovations in the riles of the Ca
, thelic churcIt are in ’ rowtemplalionv «« likewise
find no difficulty in believing. But wS reject, as
jfllhird, the proposed marriage between Buonaparte
an3 the Princess of Saxony. -If tiiis alliance were
intended, Josephine would not be allowed to visit
Fontainlleait; some decent pretext might have
■ent her t» the hot baths at Aix-lu-Chaprlle, or e
•Ven to Heaven : but she woifld not have entered
Fontainldeau, had it been the intention of her lord
and master to repudiate her.
•\Ve have not heard any official notification has
H'been given of the Llsurprr’s intention to direct in
person the operations of his^arniies in Spam ; nor
have We been able to ascertain whether a consider
able part of the French force lately employed in
Germany, has passed the Rhine on their way to the
Eyreaers. The only corps which appear to proceed
in that direction, is that commanded by the duke of
Abrantes. This consists of the quotas furnished
Vv members of the confederation of the Rhinr. and
amounts to about 27,000 men. We have not heard
that French troops have reached a similar destinati
on ; and we have been told that they received a
< promise not to be employed in that service. Junol’s
..corps together with the new levy of 36,000 con
arripts, will probably, constitute the force, with
which Buonaparte means to renew offensive opera
tions to the Peninsula: Marmnnt’s corps has been
•ordered to return to Dalmatia, and reinforced by a
. .part of the Italian ariny, will ih the fyst place, co
operate with the. Bavarians, in order to n Juce the
biave Tyroleans to subjection ; and having per • j
formpd that iniquitous service, tnvude the western
provinces of the Turkish empire. The three corps,
eanimanded by Massona, Davnust and Oudinot, re
main partly in the German (frovihe-s, reded by
Austria, or proceed to Poland, from whence they
<*B«y cheek, or impel the earner of the Kussians l«

which Buonaparte may think it expedient
to make in Poland. The report is revived th.it Ku

crsnlry. A formidable army, amounting to 6b,060
men, is tit l>e. stationed on the Danube, in order to
Watch the movements of Austria, and see the coin
'' diliows-ef the late treaty executed.
The termination of hostilities in Germany di
verts the torrent of Buonaparte's ambition from
that country to Spain. Like an ever-burning, al
■tways emitting volcano, after having made the fields
•nd habitations of one' region, a dreary scene of de
vastation, lie suddenly lures i;is tiesl ruruve course
■J* another quarter, and there renews with increased
violence the work of desolation, Tbeie are few,
-who sinre the signature of the urmLlice, were nul
prepared for the event} and taking all tin circum
atauces nf the limes, the character of the man, and
the nature of the contest in consideration, we ar*
much more surprised that it has not taken place
Sooner, that at its occurring how. The firmness
of the Austrian government, it cannot be denied,
lias procured this icspite for the Patriots; and when
' sUUy is important, the emperor Francis ius, by hi*
spirited conduct during the negotiation, not only
... 4»«cured mors favourable terms for himself, bfit gi
.ven the Spaniards a fairer chain e of asserting their
independence. He recognizes in the treaty of peace
it is tro», tits sovereignty of Joseph } but <viu\ the
Irghvst dalvfjOre for the good faith of the eniprror
Fiam is, we entertain not the slightest doubt, that,
if the patriots ar« true to iheuiselvca, errd able to
protract lh« struggle for another year, that sovereign
will not consider it as a restriction to make another
diversion m their behalf.

It implies a very superficial knowledge of the

He must completely break the spirit of tbe Tyro

victed tif the submission uf Russia i nee tin danger
