Mr. SNOWDEN.
The face of the civilized globe has been completely changed. Formerly wrapt in the shroud of peace they are now involved in the horrors of war. When we consider the cause, we are apt to lament the ambition of man—
us to judge of subsequent events. England is the only barrier between France and universal dominion. If France possessed a navy, who could put bounds to its all irresistible power.

POLITICAL REVIEW.
From the Liverpool Chronicle of Dec. 9.
Letters from Gottenburgh report that an embargo has been laid on all Swedish vessels in the Russian ports.
By an article from Trieste, we learn that the French troops hitherto stationed at Istria, and the whole of Venice, are nearly all in motion to proceed to Dalmatia, by forced marches.
The grand duke Constantine is about to visit Bonaparte at Paris.
The negotiations between France and Austria were finally concluded at Fontainebleau on the 13th October.
Advises are said to have been brought from Lisbon, which state an extraordinary council was convened on the night of the 11th ult.
About sixty persons have been apprehended in Spain implicated in the late conspiracy, several of whom have been beheaded.
We this day present our readers with the Russian declaration, and the message of the president to the Congress of the U. States of America.
Whatever is our opinion respecting the Danish expedition, we have reason to think that Russia would have found other causes of quarrel against us.
Our country is, at the present, in a very awful situation: not very dissimilar to what it was in the early part of the year 1801, when the last northern confederacy was formed against us;
is the difference between the two periods of the year 1801 and 1807, which must be added, that there is a very great difference in the head of affairs, on which the nation looks up with confidence, not only as much as they did in 1801, but in a still greater degree.
Respecting our relations with America, nothing certain can be inferred from the president's message.
The prospect before us.—Ministers have at length succeeded in involving us in war with nearly the whole civilized world.
Another of the Yorkshire district meetings, making the eighth, was last week held at Pudsey, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of petitioning for peace.
It has always been the policy of the designing partisans of administration, to represent those who disapprove the measures of ministers, as enemies to their country.
The Volunteer Company of Alexandria are requested to have their arms and accoutrements in readiness to join in celebration of the approaching 22d.
