to its own insatiable thirst of dominion. lie de-
mands universal end unqualified submission, from
Portugal to the frontiers of Russia. At the same
i istant that he overruns Spain, he insults, menaces,
and overawes Austria. This last imprudence, or
t limeritr—fur such, let the result be what it raay,
we must esteem it-has roused the fallen, hut not
extinguished, spirit of the Austrian Government.
Slowly, reluctantly, firmly, and with the en-
ergy of despair, that great mass of people, extend-
ing from the borders of Saxony and Bavaria to
those of Muscovy and Turkey, have taken up arms.
And, for what piirpos•s? Not, as the proclamation
of the AitcuontiE forcibly " to carry on the
'ss wars of ambition, trader distant climes";
I. it •• to share the disgrace of becoming the tools
of oppression"—nor a over the slaughtettxl bodies
of the defenders of their country, to pave the way
for a foreigner to •he usurped titrone' 'I It is,"
as the A ItCIIDUIX, "to loosen the fetters of Eu-
rope," cud to restore to the Germans themselves
that liberty of which the common tyrant lies de-
prived them. In 4 word, it is for existence that
Austria combats; she must, like Holland, Frame,
and so many other countries, be renorafefl wider
revolutionary foray, or she insist arrest

progress of the invader. The year 1903 will send

Prussia, whatever we may here conceive, ilest4ute of

still less calculate, although he may command in

absence, and brings ilivatclies fre-n Lord STRANG..
Folio. The differences between the Viceroy, Li-
s ices, and Governor Et to, at Monte Video, had
not beat settled ; aert all the officers who would
not take the prescribed oath to the Junta of Monte
Video, were peremptorily ordered to leave Monte
Video. Most of them went to Buenos Ayres.—
Trade is very flat at Rio Janeiro, owing to the im-
mense loans of goods from England. Several
Spaniards were there, purchasing English goods ;
hot there is mare iu tie Brazil market than can
be consumed fur four years. A few ship have
been pertained to hand their cargoes, or rather
part of them, at Monte Video, which indul-
gence, it is cor•••lered, would not have &ern
grained to them, but from the necessities of the
titterruor, who witutetl the duties arising from the
sale, to pay his soldiers.
Ciiptuin DAYXTUN is appointed to the Miibed,
of 74 guns, a new ship.
The Lark paekct arrived on Sumlay, at Harwich,
from Heligoland, with a Mail cud dispatches for
Government, said to ha of great importance.—
A private letter, toy this conveyance, states as rt—
pert, that the Emperor of Russia hits been dethron-
ed, and that the Nobles densand a peace with Eng-
land. Private letters from Holland also state a ru-
mour at Rotterdam, that a revolution had taken
• place at S. Petersburgh, and that the Emperor
Ativizaisoatt was killesi—We do not know what
credit is due to these rumours.
