LOSSES OF PiWaSIA Br fliE PEACE OP
TILSIr.

By the peace of Firesburgh, Austria lost elm
millions of inhabitants, and a revenue of 16 mil-
lions of guilders. The peace of Tilsit has been
still more unfortunate for the Prussian Monarchy,
having diminished it nearly one-half. Instead of
tan millions of inhabitants, not more than 6ve now
►emain under the Prussian Sceptre, and the Rave-
tine, which formerly amounted to forty millions cf
dollars, has been decreased in a still greater prop n•
tion. since the ceded Provinces are exallly you
which are the richest and the most fertile, and
on whose improvement many millions have hereto-
fore been expended. Almost all that Pr u ;sia gain-
ed by the partition of Poland. is again wrested Irons
her. Saxony. the late eonfederate of Prussia. by
compulsion, has received these Provinces ; and au;.
sia, the most powerful ally of the latter, has beta
rounded by territory, containing a population of
'200,000 souls. The following is a statement of the
losses of Prussia, by the peace of Tilsit.
