it is equally clear, that NAPOLEON must effectually
disarm that Power, which has four times contested,

since 1744, for superiority with France, on the Po,
the Rhine, and the Danube. To allow her, when

liit must, accordin4 to all the dictates of sound
policy, either dissam and break down Austria, by
imposing on her a treaty, which will leave him
nothing to dread front her future hostility; or he
must renew the war, and endeavour to penetrate

take any middle path, without compromising and
diminishing his own reputation, safety, and *noe-

infer, from the silence of BONAPARTE, that great,
probably insuperable, difficulties, huve arisen. if
such has beets the case hitherto, will not those int•
pediments be augmented, when it is known to the
Austrian Government, that the Corsican is pressed
in other parts of his usurped territories? NVill not
the lauding o`..the British Expedition in IValcheren,
the battle of Talavera, and, lastly, the surrender of
Flushing, tend to inspire the Emperor FRANCIS
with Slew hopes ? Will not the possible conse-

his three kings, arc placed, excite some degree of u-
hliest Schisembrunn, and some corresponding exul-
tation it Conlon', or at Prague. ? They necessarily
