nidneent when he was going to carry into effect his
threat of the invasion of England. Neither Russia
nor Austria arrested his arm, nnr diverted the blow.
The Continental War is entirely of his own seeking ;
either in direct prosecution of his original projtet
universal domieion, or to cover the disgrace of his
baffled enterprise against England. A few days
before the present rupture up an the Continent,
we stated our suspicions, that the invasion of
England was only a stalking-horse, from behind
which, &rear..net aimed at the desouttion of
all that remained of independence in Europe. The
French Memorial confirms our suspicions, and we
do maintain, that, after the world has seen the Bou-
logne camp, a two-edged Sword, to be used 3g...ic.t.
England or the Continent, as occasion may offer,
Austria and Russia must, in future, consider APT
great accumulation of force in that quarter, in a very
different light from that in which they have hitherto
regarded it. Those armies which they conceives
had no objeft in view, but the invasion of England,
they now find, were able to cross the Rhine before
the Austrians, with all the advantage of choosing
their own time, were able to assemble in sufficient
strength, upon its banks, to dispute their passage.
And here, again, we have furtl►er evidence to shell,
that the invasion of England was only a pretence
to cover the views of BOMA! A•TE against the Con-
tinent. The French Papers, instructed to carry on
the farce, pathetically lament the surprise and
pointment of their master, in being thus unespeCtedly
called upon to turn those arms against the Continent,
which were intended to storm the Tower of Lou-
don. It appears, however, from the advanced
state of his army, beyond the Rhine, that he was
much better prepared to do that wl:ich he dis-
avowed, than to execute that which he threatened.
