io not appear to have •f l' elperisoceid lay

rt, so far as relates to the dispute, appears very
ausible, and has the suiport of many cowoho-
ting circumstances. The elms, of Bow isvaltTL
presented the spirit of the Emperor of GLIMANT
-, t ompletely weaned from war, and absorbed in
the arts of peace. It could not be grateful to the
Cosiest' to behold the Emperor of Gtilli•NY,
who has so many insults and aggressions to revenge,
in an imposing attitude, with the helmet on his
head and the lance in its rest. It must be unfavour-
able to his designs on Naples and Tut key to see that
power prepared to retard or divert the career of
his cononerts and his crimes. As he wished it to
be, he would, no doubt, make it ; and, accord.
in -ly, the assemblage of Austrian troops along
foe fioi tiers ;of Italy may have awakened his
r...tr• • , suspicions. 'These troops were estimated
:it ,11103 meo, and it has been lately reported,
that they are to be augmented to 70,000. Their
avoe•ed ohjea was to form a cordoa to prevent
lb! extension of the plague; which, the Preach
p ipers assert, has either entirely or materi-
ally subsided, at Leghorn, Genoa, and the other
infidel islaee.. The augmentation of the time
then, at the very rinse when the ease had erased,
must have excited the je 'lousy:. of BO%A?ARZE, and
may have been the suhjea of angry remonstrance
to the Luperial Ambassador.
We lately i opted from the Paris Papers a notice
from T.LLEY aA h ri, in whiiir be stigmatises all the
subordinate Officers in the Foreign Department over
which he presides, as use indlers, and cautions in-
divilaals, as well Frenchmen as foreigners, against
holding any correspondence with then' upon the
affairs of that office. The present set dl Paris papers
fmnish a ries.v proof of the frauds praised in that
departtucat. There are few of our readers who do
not know ;hat every traveller in France mu -t be fur-
-1 nished with a passport. rtivate letters have often
!!.. sleolored the plunder and extortion practised upon
I echoers in France, by the official abuses of this
form aity. Forged passports a- e sold to them,
and for even the slightest del a in those that
are genaine, the bearer is arrested and thrown
into prison. This Tat LEVIN A 4 n admits in a second
note, peblished on the 9:11 inn int, in which he say.,
his ('lens must no longer go snacks with him, and
th.it .all passports must in future be certified ',y
bims,ll.
The plague used to be considered a garrison std
Adept for the defence of the weakest place against
the strongest army. BONAPARTE., however, and his
ereituk, the TOPIC, of PEACE. will net hesitate to,
sacrifice some thousand Spaniards in an attack upon
Gibraltar. Troops arc colleting at Saint-Roche,

who hap lately returned from Paris, gives his assist-
