dition might operate with a good effect; but as to
the particular point, we repeat, it can be only matt( r
of conjecture.

Among the preparations making by Bon AP APT!.
for immediate war upon the Continent, he has es-
tablished air official Gazette in the ILitariAn Repub-
lic. The first number of this worthy rival of the
Moniersor was published on the 4th instant. The
P, @yet Ira is signed by the GENF. I AL SECRETARY of
Sr ATE, and announces, that it is to appear three
times a week. The Monitrur having become noto-
rious in Europe fur its fabrications, and of course
having lost all respell and influence among foreign
Rations, this young Dutchman, as he has yet a cha-
ratier to lose, may do the state some service. He
will issue his threats, and thunder his anathemas
against Russia, Sweden, and Austria ; while, to his
elder brother, the superannuated Monisevr, will be
consigned the easy place of dealing out flattery or
philippics at leisure, to the less bold n. virtuous
regions of the South. Some persons may smile at the
idea of reckoning a new Newspaper among 800 A-
P A RTE.! estraordinaries of the army ; but such per-

sons do not know the value of public opinion, nor of
its influence in deciding the fate of empires. Could
Borg AAAAA E be seen in his real and native co-
lours and proportions, France, and every nation
on earth, would loath him, as the most hateful
ohjeft that ever presented itself to their eyes.
BONAPARTE knows, that it is only through the
medium of the public press be can be exposed,
until he proves himself in person, or by his visita-
tions ; but, unfortunately, experience, although the
most convincing lesson, comes too late as a caution,
or the means of safety.

We have copied from the Dutch Papers to the
tith instant, the speech of the PtssulKaal., to their
High Nlightinesses, at the opening of an Extraordi-
nary Sitting tof the States, at the Hague, on the rtcl
instant.—lt will be found in the last page. Were
Holland an independent nation, the PcssioNaxy's
speech would he an important article, but no in-
terest can attach to a speech, that contains neither
the real spirit, nor feelings. nor policy of the peo-
ple, to whom it is addressed.—ln most of the Dutch
Papers, ti.e following paragraph is immedix:ely an-
nexed to the account of the Extraordinary Siuing
of the States, and the Address of M. SCHII4 ki 1.-

" The neat received, relative to some movement.; in
