STATE OF AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA.
In a note from the Moniteur, upon the policy of Austria and Prussia, the writer remarks, that it is no wise surprising that the number of troops which Austria has put in motion should incline England to believe her disposed to coalesce against France, but that Napoleon entertains a better opinion of the Emperor, than to imagine him guilty of such short sighted policy as to put his crown and dominions to hazard for the sake of swelling the maritime insolence of England and introducing into Europe a Semi barbarian Power, to press down, and trim the balance of States, with which she is wholly unconnected.
The writer proceeds to comment upon the interference of Russia at Ratisbon, in throwing down the gauntlet to France, and using every effort to precipitate the Germanic body into hostilities, and winds up his clause by observing, that the states of Germany knew better than to excite a war to be fought at their own doors, which must either weaken or destroy them, and afford some pretence for Russia to pursue the manifest policy of the North, its taking advantage of their lassitude and debility to increase her power in the South.
Prussia is then appealed to as a model for them all: her submissive, her well judged costume they are all invited to wear, she alone knows her interest as connected with France, and the Emperor of Austria and his States, are entreated to set their features by this mirror of good policy and complaisance.
In a word, this note pursues the double object of intimidating and cajoling Austria; it affects to believe her inclined to peace, at the same time that it infers hostility from the movement of her troops; it intimidates by unmasking motives of interest and ambition in Russia, in every alliance of war with the states of the south.
There is no question but the situation of Austria is critical, but there is no reason for despair: no power ever escaped from destruction that has been so near to it as Austria; no power has ever exhibited such wonderful reverses of good and ill fortune. In the 17th century she was twice on the brink of ruin; her territory over-run by a victorious enemy, and her capital besieged. In the next century, she withstood a coalition of the most powerful Germanic States confederating with France, and it was not until she seemed utterly lost, that she put forth her strength and rose superior to her disasters.
It is the misfortune of Austria, that she exhausts in the splendor and magnificence of her court, the resources which should be kept for her defence; it is thus, that in the commencement of a campaign advantages are always gained over her, before she can muster her troops or regulate her supplies. But notwithstanding, Austria has a strength somewhat unaccountable and peculiar to herself. More deficient in pecuniary resources than any other great power in Europe, she is better able to subsist and do considerable things without them. By long habit, the whole state is formed to its necessities, and the subject is more ready to supply free quarters, and submit to military licence than any other. The country is abundantly fruitful in all its parts, and whilst the war is carried on near home, an arbitrary government, operating on so extensive an object, can hardly fail of such resources as must serve an Austrian army; which is still paid, as Tacitus describes the troops of the ancient Germans to have been; "they have a plentiful table in lieu of pay."
Though slow in her operations, Austria makes amends by her perseverance; if she does not play the game with sufficient spirit, she never throws up her cards; and though by an error common to many courts, but particularly fatal to this, she is accustomed to interfere too much and too minutely in the operations of the campaign, there is reason to believe that the prudence of the archduke, under whose guidance her armies are, has effectually cured her of this folly.
By the celerity of her movements, France has an undoubted advantage; but it has always been the design of Austria that the issue of the war should rather arise from the general result and concurrence of all the operations, gradually producing a solid, though a slow advantage, than from the effect of a bold, quick, and masterly stroke.
Prussia, now on the edge of the French territory, with a ministry who already consider Bonaparte as more their master than their own sovereign, with the name of a
French ally, is almost as effectually a viceroyalty of France, as Holland itself.
The scheme of war, which is concerted between Austria, England and Russia, cannot yet be known. If it be intended that the latter power should march troops into Germany, Prussia is the point of contract. That the court of Berlin will not suffer her territories to be made a thoroughfare for the Russian armies is certain; and that she must be alarmed at the proximity of so large a force, is natural. What plan, therefore, will she pursue? An armed neutrality is almost as expensive as war, with none of its probable advantages; and this is not exactly the time for an alliance with France, and a participation in the contest. It is difficult to know the exact course that Prussia will take. It is probably neither her policy nor interest to join the confederacy, because none of the objects of the confederacy immediately concern her. The intent of the war is to drive France into her boundaries, and recover the conquests which she has made from Austria. In this, Prussia can have no concern. She has lost no province in Italy, no imperial city in Germany. Of whatsoever territory France may be divested, Prussia can have no claim to it; nor can Austria, from views of safety, permit her to have it even as an indemnity.
With no immediate object in the war, can it be supposed that she would fight to replace Austria in her former strength, or restore that balance of power, by the dislocation of which she has chiefly prospered. Prussia, as has often been said, has no concern with the balance of power, or, if any, one immediately opposed to its re-establishment. The balance of power (if the treaty of Westphalia be considered as regulating it) was instituted before Prussia was politically born; she considers it, therefore, as a sort of Nugatory law, and renounces its sanction and obligation.
The object of the court of Berlin is either to continue the present state of the continent, or to improve her condition from the ruin of the house of Austria, and the evident policy of France in the event of a successful war, to oppose Prussia against Russia in the north, and prevent the accession of the latter power to any future European confederacy.
The Court of Berlin, therefore, must rejoice at the present quarrel between France and Russia; it is a gale which blows her on her voyage. France has now a direct interest in strengthening her in order to oppose her to Russia, and as Bonaparte must necessarily keep some out post in that quarter, Prussia need not fear being deposed, after she has served the turn of her ally.
BOSTON, October 21.
Latest from Europe.
Several packages of papers were received by the Mary, captain How, arrived yesterday from London, but their dates are no later than those received by the Pomona.
On the important subject of the confederacy against France which now assumes a bold and formidable aspect, the London Times, of the 28th August contains the following remarks:
A more important subject than that which now engages the public attention relative to the grand confederacy can scarcely be expected to exist. When the ambitious projects of Bonaparte came to be fully developed; when it appeared that the treaty of Luneville, the peace of Amiens, and every other treaty made by the usurper, were no better than the fallacious truces, formed only for the purpose of gaining time to mature his plans, and to furnish him with what alone was wanting to him, a navy; when the subjugation of Switzerland, the encroachments in Italy, and the continued oppression of Holland, had opened the eyes of politicians as to his real views, it then became a question what power should first enter the list with this enemy of peace, of liberty, and of independence. Some power must lead the way in checking the mad career of his ambition; but the continental powers with the exception of Russia were torpid, palsied by fear, or incapable, from having been entirely exhausted, of making an effort. England alone had the spirit and resolution openly to resent his insults, and resist his tyranny. It was the reasonable expectation of most persons well acquainted with the state of Europe, that the sense of their own danger would induce the continental powers to embrace the opportunity to form a strong league for stopping abuses and aggressions, which could only end in sapping and undermining the liberties and independence of the civilized world; for restraining within due bounds an enormous military power, which threatened to overawe the world. Politicians were somewhat disappointed that more forward dispositions to this effect did not appear, and yet it probably was for the better, that the measure was not precipitated.
Though France had boasted that England was unable to contend single handed with her; England has shown that she could singly continue the war with the "Great Nation" year after year without suffering loss or damage; her resources unimpaired—her commerce even increased.—This was in itself a grand point to be established. It gave to the continental states a confidence in the strength and power of Great Britain. No other state in Europe could have done the same, it therefore proved that England was proper to be the first in this grand confederation for the liberties of mankind.
It was proper also that the usurper should have given further unequivocal proofs, besides those which we have mentioned, of the malignity of his designs. Trusting in the tameness or inability of the other powers, this he effectually did in the violation of neutral territory, in the seizure of the Duke D'Enghien, the invasion of Hanover, the insults he wantonly gave to the ambassadors of the most respectable states, in the usurpation of the Italian crown &c. &c. It was well too that these things served gradually to awaken those whose dearest interests were concerned, to enable them gradually, and therefore effectually, to make their preparations.
We trust we may now congratulate the public on the fairest prospect that has ever yet appeared, of the abridgement of that monstrous power, so formidable to all Europe. The former confederacies against France were ill compacted and inefficient, while the enthusiasm by which the French at that period were actuated, was as a wall of iron. In the Coalition, Austria was the only Continental Power that was sincere, active, firm, and efficient. Prussia soon dropped from the confederacy, and became almost the ally of France; the crafty Catherine fought, indeed, with her manifestoes, but she gave neither money nor men. Had Paul I. continued the honorable career on which he entered, when he sent Suwarow into Italy, the power of France might have been readily reduced; but the versatile Monarch soon relinquished the virtuous design, and the recall of his General blasted the hopes that all good politicians had begun to entertain.
The present confederacy is headed by two young and high-spirited Monarchs (one of them the descendant & namesake of that hero, whose single arm once sustained the Protestant cause, and the cause of liberty in Europe.) The power and resources of Russia are infinite, especially when combined with Austria, which has at this moment the best appointed and finest disciplined army in Europe, and, perhaps the most accomplished General, Prince Charles. This confederacy, therefore, of Russia, Austria, Sweden, and England, is certainly most formidable, especially when we observe, that its efforts are directed against the obnoxious Tyrant and Usurper, who cannot be regarded with sentiments of esteem, even by his own subjects, or rather slaves.
We have recommended, and we again recommend, in case of a new Continental Coalition, a magnanimous distinction between the Usurper and the people of France. We hope the powers united in so good a cause, will, in a noble and impartial Manifesto, distinctly disclaim all schemes of partition, all interference with the interior arrangements of that country. From what we know of the sentiments of that people so harassed, so broken by revolutionary violence and rapine, we have not a doubt but the consequence would be the restoration of their lawful sovereign; but like our own Charles, he should be recalled, not forced upon the nation. Such a declaration, accompanied by a solemn profession, that their wish was to restore the independence of those States, whom the unhappy success of revolutionary France has subverted, would, we apprehend, completely palsy the arms of those on whom the Usurper depends for defence if not effectually turn them against him.
COMMERCIAL.
Extract from remarks in a Liverpool price current of Aug. 27.
COTTON.
Since the date of our last price current, we conceive that about fifteen thousand bags of Cotton have been sold, of which a considerable part were Uplands and New-Orleans.—From the first to the tenth inst. the prices of those descriptions continued gradually to advance, and about the last mentioned date 19 3-4d. per lb. was given for prime Uplands, and 20 1-2d.
per lb. for prime New Orleans; shortly afterwards the demand became considerably lessened, and some few sales were at prices from 1-2d. to 1d. per lb. under what had been previously current. This suspension after such extensive sales, and the reduction in price, the effect of an attempt on the part of the dealers to depress the market more largely upon terms somewhat favorable. The principal part of the holders were however firm in their determination not to sell at a reduced rate; the dealers are again come into the market, and are making purchases but not to any great extent at the prices quoted. We entertain a favorable opinion of the future currency of those descriptions as from the accounts we have received, we believe that nearly the whole of the last crop, is arrived, and that a considerable number of the dealers have not yet supplied themselves.—The stock in the importers hand is still large. A few hundred bags of the middling and inferior descriptions of sea island have been sold at prices from 1d. to 2d. per lb. above those current at the close of the last month. There is not however much enquiry at present for this description of cotton, but we nevertheless look for an increased demand, at somewhat higher prices in the course of the next, or the following month. Some few bales of Bourbon from fair to pretty good qualities have been made at from 2s. 8d. to 2s. 10d. per lb. as the stocks are heavy, and the demand limited, we do not look to any material amendment in prices.
INDIGO.
This article is scarce, and in brisk demand.
POT ASHES.
The market being better stocked with pot ashes, prices have given away, and it seems probable there will be a further reduction if the supplies are not very small. There are few pearl ashes, the prices of such are consequently better supported.
BEESWAX.
Very scarce.
NAVAL STORES.
The low price of turpentine has induced some speculation, and the late arrivals have been speedily bought up at the annexed quotations, but as there is a considerable stock of the old importations on hand, we do not expect any material alteration soon. Tar is steady, and likely to support the present currency.
STAVES.
The demand having continued pretty steady for staves, and the arrivals having been moderate, the stock of good remaining in the market is small and although an advance in price is not expected, it is probable that the present quotations will be supported.
TIMBER.
Considerable supplies of hardwood having arrived, the dealers will not purchase unless at prices considerably reduced, the quotation is therefore merely nominal. Oak and pine are likely to meet a sale at the present currency.

The brig Stork, Cornell, of Rhode Island, at Malaga, the 5th September, in 76 days at passage, and sailed the next day for Mar-seilles, having been brought to, to the westward of the Western Islands, robbed, and the captain, supercargo, and boy, severely flogged: they threatened to cut the boys head off, upon which he immediately jumped overboard, and was picked up a quarter of a mile from the brig.

The brig Jefferson, was captured on the 12th, off the Capes, from Marseilles for Philadelphia; and brig Henrietta, Darnell, of Baltimore, from Guadalupe for New York, off Sandy Hook.
The schooner Charlotte-Augusta, Judry, sailed in company with the Adventure for New York. Captain Bunker left Malaga the 14th September, and informs, the last accounts from Cadiz, stated the combined fleets were in port, and were blockaded by a British fleet; the Carthagena fleet were also in port; and capt. B. understood that our affairs were likely to be adjusted with Spain.
The United States frigate Constellation, sailed in company with captain Bunker, for the United States. Captain Hammond, from St. Petersburg, informs, that the Russians were making every preparation for war—that 5 sail of the line were hauled outside of the Mole at Cronstadt, and ready to sail at a moments warning—that there were in the harbour about 20 sail of the line, most of which were getting ready for sea—that one ship of the line and two frigates were launched at Petersburg the latter part of July; that three Russian frigates were cruising in the Baltic; and, that at present, the Russian army consisted of 600,000 men.
A war with France was considered as inevitable. A number of British ships had been taken up for the conveyance of troops to Lubec. We have carefully examined our files of Bordeaux papers by the Louisiana, which are to the 12th of September; and, though we have not discovered that a Continental Coalition had been formed at that date, or that war had actually broken out between France and the powers supposed to have coalesced, yet, from the articles we have translated, the reader will perceive that such an event is apparently not very remote.
France has withdrawn into the interior, to act as circumstances may render necessary. A great part of the troops originally intended for the invasion of England; Russia is marching her hordes towards the Austrian territories; and the Emperor of Germany embodying his legions in great numbers, to co-operate, as it is supposed, with Russia.

The combined squadrons left Ferrol on the 16th thermidor, and entered Cadiz on the 4th Fructidor. Admiral Collingwood with four ships and a frigate entered the roads the same morning.
On the 14th instant (September 1st) the first division of the armed body commanded by Marshal Davoust, arrived at Lille, and continued on the day following their march towards the Rhine. Three regiments of horse chasseurs and two regiments of hussars have also passed through that city on the same destination.
Strasbourg, August 30. The new organization of the Austrian troops has been successfully effected. All the regiments of infantry will be composed of five battalions, and one of grenadiers. The last will have 600, and each of the other battalions 900 men.
According to the German papers the negotiations between France and Austria continue without interruption. The same papers speak continually of the great movements making by the Russian troops in ci-devant Poland. They state as certain that an army is forming there; but of its number, its object, or by whom it is to be commanded, they are uninformed.
September 1. They write from Ratisbon that the French charge d'affairs, on the 25th August, transmitted to the ministers and envoys resident in that city, a note, the substance of which is that the Emperor of the French has found it necessary to direct his attention to the movements of the troops and the reassembling the armies in the Tyrol and on the frontiers of Italy; that he wishes to preserve his confidence in the pacific sentiments of Austria, but that he cannot dispense with demanding an explanation of the movements which are in agitation; that if this explanation should be unsatisfactory, a French army shall pass the Rhine, but that the princes and states of Germany may reckon upon the friendship of France, which has been manifested upon every occasion, and of which so many proofs have been given, &c.
We are assured that the note by which these explanations have been demanded has been presented to the court of Vienna, whose answer we wait for with the utmost anxiety. In the mean time we know generally that the Austrian army formed at Wells, near Lintz, in Upper Austria, has crossed the Inn, and taken military positions in Bavaria. We know also that the court of Munich has been officially informed of this measure.
PETERSBURGH, August 10. It is confirmed that our troops are taking a direction towards the provinces dependent on the house of Austria, and particularly towards Galicia and Silesia, and that they are assembling in the environs of Toppau and Jagerndorf. They speak also of bodies of troops which will be embarked, and that they will be joined by a foreign force.
September 2. His excellency the minister of foreign affairs arrived at the imperial camp at Boulogne in the night between the 11th and 12th fructidor, and on the morning of the 12th transacted business with the emperor. That part of the imperial guard stationed at Paris departed for Strasbourg; the companies of chasseurs will march to day, and the grenadiers to-morrow.
Florence, August 17. An Austrian courier arrived here yesterday from Naples brings intelligence that the court had quitted the capital, and retired to Palermo. At the departure of the same courier a considerable fleet lay before Naples, but he was ignorant to what nation it belonged. The armed force under the orders of general Sait Cyr, is concentrated in the two Ambruzes.
We are also assured that the kings of the two Sicilies on being solicited to take a part in the differences which exist between France and England, has renewed his former declaration that he will observe the most scrupulous neutrality. Several couriers passed through the city within these few days, from Petersburg for Naples, with all possible expedition.
Genoa, August 24. We have received news from Toulon of the arrival in that port of the squadron under the orders of M. Jerome Bonaparte. His progress has been retarded by tempestuous weather.
Boulogne, August 31. That part of the French army on the sea coast, which has departed for the Rhine marched in columns, in the same order which is practised in the camps; so that
when they arrive on the theatre of war, they will be found all formed and disposed for the operations of the campaign. A finer army was never seen, one more impatient for battle, or more animated with the prestige of certain victory.
Captain Hawley, arrived at New Haven, informs, that just as he was leaving Trinidad, a mail boat arrived from Barbadoes bringing dispatches for the governor, who was absent at another part of the island—Soon after her arrival news was in circulation that a French fleet, consisting of 31 sail of battle ships, from Rochefort was spoke in lat. 9, long. 41. The inhabitants were preparing for immediate martial law. Captain H. touched at St. Thomas; while there a number of vessels arrived, which had experienced much damage, in the severe gales of the 19th Sept. in lat 23, long. 63.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29.
At a time when the combined fleet is said to be before Brest, ready to co-operate with the inner fleet; when the whole line of coast opposite to England is lined with troops and transports prepared for the invasion; when the great contest between England and France, has some chance of approaching to a crisis; it may not be uninteresting to the reader to peruse the following reflections from De Croisueil's 5th part of Revolutionary annals, on the views of France with respect to England.
"No continental power, then, shall henceforth espouse the British cause, and assist its triumph. Deep injuries, too, yet call for redress; nor can the memory of the past be suddenly or totally obliterated. Personal and direct outrages have challenged the resentment of the first consul, and all France is ready to avenge his wrongs. Can the French easily forget the dark and odious designs of Great Britain against their country? "Let us recollect, exclaimed once the British Senate, that this war is without a precedent: it is not a civilized war, it is a war of extermination which we are called upon to wage." How different this barbarous and sanguinary declaration from the humane, noble, and truly magnanimous sentiments of the celebrated Walsingham, Ambassador of England, at the Court of Charles IX! The perfidy of Catharine de Medicis had justly raised his indignation. He had the sublime courage to deplore in the presence of that Queen the horrid fate of the numerous victims sacrificed on St. Bartholomew's Day, by her premeditated cruelty. What a contrast, too, between that more than hostile language of the British Parliament, and the benevolent project of a perpetual peace secretly planned by the illustrious Elizabeth and Henry IV; dreamed since, to use the common phrase, by the Abbe de St. Pierre; traduced by so many writers; but eloquently defended by Rousseau, and now, perhaps, on the eve of being realized?
"The northern powers must from sound policy, from a regard for their own interest, incline to the side of France, whose first and most ardent desire is to cherish and preserve peace. But the tranquility of Europe never can be established on a permanent basis, whilst England retains her preponderance. Her restless spirit is too incompatible with that profound and steady calm which essentially promotes the happiness of nations, and from which agricultural countries, in particular, derive their prosperity. The empire of the seas is no longer the empire of the world. The resources and wealth of Great Britain flow from her commerce. For the purposes of self-protection and defence, she must maintain an immense naval force. Her fleets are deemed invincible; but cannot they be paralysed, and rendered perfectly harmless? Only let the British commerce be prescribed on the continent, and the effect is produced. The system of prohibitory measures, lately devised and adopted with respect to that commerce, will be attended with greater success than any other mode of warfare. Under the operation of that system, Great Britain must gradually decline, and no effusion of blood need accompany her fall.
"Delenda est Carthago! exclaimed Cato to the elder. The sentiment is shocking. No nation can find its real interest in the entire destruction of another. Let Europe content herself with erasing from the catalogue of the catalogue of primary states, the name of Great Britain, and with lessening her weight in the political scale. Thus much may be easily effected. Heaven forbid that we should say, "let not a gun be fired throughout Europe without our leave!" But let France declare her unalterable resolution
to secure to Europe 50 years of inviolate peace. Let her use her influence, exert her power, only to mediate between other nations, and reconcile their differences. What can prevent her from accomplishing all those miracles? England seems already to dread them. We may estimate her fears by the solicitude which her precautions betray. Her peace establishment exhibits the same features as a state of war would present. Her extraordinary expenses absorb, and indeed, exceed her annual revenue. The least reverse may suffice to shake that public credit, which has hitherto been the palladium of her power, and which, under less prosperous circumstances, would only serve to disguise her weakness, and must in the end, annihilate her boasted resources and illusory wealth. A general conspiracy already seems to undermine her commerce. A secret and well concerted policy calls into action extensive and powerful means, the operation of which resembles the effect of some mysterious and magic art. Great Britain has placed herself in a situation, assumed an attitude, which an uninterrupted train of victories can alone maintain; but shall victory be always faithful to her cause?"
The friends of Mr. Jefferson begin to be in serious trouble about the fifth volume of the life of Washington, which is soon to appear. The fourth volume concludes with the military career of the general. In the fifth we expect an account of his civil administration. It is not strange, therefore, that the correspondent of Mazzei and Pain, and those who have been partakers in his iniquity, should feel unusual solicitude upon this occasion. One of Mr. Jefferson's editors at Richmond is endeavouring to prepare his readers for the shock which he supposes the character of his oracle is about to receive. He concludes a number of remarks upon the subject by saying: "It is the settled conviction of our understanding, that the materials of the political life of Washington should have slept in manuscript, and that the fifth volume should not have seen the light before the middle of the present century."
We have not the least doubt of the sincerity of this declaration. Mr. Jefferson would be willing to give more money than he paid to Callender for writing the Prospect Before Us, if by that means he could postpone the publication of a correct history of Washington's administration until the middle of the present century. How far Mr. Marshall's history will go in treating of the conduct of certain men who made a conspicuous figure during that administration, we know not. The solicitude of Mr. Jefferson's friends shows that they are well aware of what can be done.
