Meads *ad *en *mini ibmintilasts ; *boa listen to
you 114th displeasure, and Oen the better divined
with inkier; and the mornent is evidently approach-
ing, *hen a long melancholy silence will be the law
of your existing* and the severe, but imperious
condition of your personal liberty.
All this and more than this—for who can fit the
&nits Of the evil I—you will endure; not merely
with fortitude and equanimity, but with the proud.
the animating consciousness of invincible superiority,
if you are great and strong enough never to be un-
true to yourselves. Your immediate infisence may
be obstrufted, the sphere of your Operations may be
circumscribed within narrow limits, your hands
may be fettered, and your mouths closed by power;
but these are only the out-works of your strength ;
your immoveable resolution; your unalterable
principles; your invariable, silent protestation
against every thing that overbearing violence at-
tempts to execute or to justify ; the lively convic-
tion produced alike in friend and foe, that the war
between injustice and you will not terminate in
false negnciations, will not be interrupted by hol-
low armistices, or end in faithless treaties; the
worthy, bold, ever-upright, and ever-prepared atti-
tude in which yeti will appear to your contempo-
raries—these are your unperishable wearns.
Your mere isolated existence strikes constant terror
into the oppressor, and it is to the oppressed a
source of inexhaustible cossolatfon.
Never forget, that the spot en which you are
placed, is the centre of all those enterprises, by
which, sooner or later, Europe must be released
from slavery; the code of despotism must be de-
&toyed ; the proud aerial structure of perishable
power must be overturned, and a new, immortal
cowman, met be formed between freedom, order,
obi pm. feet more Nippy posterity. Nor Eng-
le/4mm Mali, can effect this ; both are desirable
as eeofederatas ; both are invaluable as counter-
poises or allies; bet the aetual work of deliverance
must prosper on German soil. Hence must re-
generation proceed; as here the work of devastation
and ruin was accomplished. Earepe fell through
Orman., ; through Germany ale nest rite. It
war not the energy or the arts of France—it
was not the wild convulsive power which issued
from the horrible abyss of the revolution—it was
not the preponderance, or ability of a creature of
that revolution, which has lifted the world from its
asis—but the voluntary defencelessness of Germany.
Our baneful intestine divisions, the mutual jealousy
of Our Princes, the reciprocal antipathy of their sub-
jells, the extinction of every genuine sentiment for
else general interest of the nation, the relaxation
of patriotic spirit ; these are the conquerors, the
41111elsyten of our liberty; these have been our mor-
tal estasies, and the enemies of Europe. Could we
have united—could we have forgotten our family
feuds—could we, in the hour of danger, in the hour
of general need, have resolved to be Germans, we
might have defied every storm; not one foot of
German soil had then become the prey of a haughty
foreigner; not one single member, no, not even the
weakest of the well. construtted body politic of Europe
had fallen off. Nay more. we should have enjoyed
the glory of restoring France —sick, deeply dis-
trailed France, to real health—for who can con-
found her present state, her unnatural, bloated cor
pulence, with genuine health I—to a peaceable,
harmonious existence, to a reconciliation with her-
self : a deed which, if accomplished in a proper
sense, and with instruments judiciously seleOed,
would, at the same time, have strengthened and
perfeieei the social system of Europe, both in the
whole and in part, for many centuries.

This, brethren, we might have effefted, and this
opportunity we have wantonly renounced. But if any
thing is capable of rescuing us from this abyss of
weakness, in which we are now expiating our
faults, it is that tame resolution, by which, at an
earlier period, we should have been preserved from
the commission of them. Separated, we were
overthrown, united only can we rise again.
It is impossible that a nation like ours, however
it may have been humbled and insulted, deserted
and betrayed ; however it may have for a time for-
g uten itself. daeslest by infernal artifices, nr discou-
raged by calamity and defeat, should not at length
recover from the most shameful and the most cruel
degradation : it is impossible that so much men..al
energy, so much personal superiority, and such a
profusion of natural talents, such penetration :.nd ad-
vantages of various kinds, as we comprise in our
bosom, should not sooner or later collet into one fo-
cus, thence animate the whole, and break through
all ineireftual barriers; it is impossible that, from

LON DON,
MONDAY, Scprcatesit I.

A paper of yesterday announced the arrival of a
Messenger on Saturday from France.—lt was pro-
bably led into this mistake by the arrival of a Mes-
senger from Vienna with the la:: Hamburgh mail.
We had not learned, at a late hoar last night. that
any Messenger bad arrived from France. Much
importance is attached to the next dispatches from
Lord LAUOLILDALI. It is thought that they will
be decisive, but public expeCtation does not incline
to the favourable side.
Letters were received on Saturday from Ham-
burgh, which mention, that hostilities bad actually
commenced between Prussia and France. General
RUCHE', a very old General in the Prussian ser-
vice, is said to have been killed. It is added, that
the French had crossed over to Embden, where the
aorgentent is reported to have taken place. Wh
410 tot know what degree of credit is du* to this

The air of Chiswick agrees very well with Mr.
Fox, and he is better since his removal to that
charming place from town. He is, however, filling
again with water, but that is the natural Progress of
his disease, and his Physicians propose to tap him
again before the large vessels have had time to fill.
The operation of course will soon take place. We
have already stated, that the Physicians have as-
certained, that the internal parts are all sound, and
indulge a confident hope, that he will be able to
repel the disorder.

An overland packet, from India, was received at
the India House on Saturday. The letters from

Bombay are dated December 16.
The following Peneral orders by the Commander-
in-Chief Lord LAKt confirm the !intelligence of

Jones, the Oldbers, and men of His Majeity's and the He.

Ilse war.
Since the period at which the Commander-in Chief en-
raged the satisfaction he derived on inspecting the troops

been proud to witnesses eyes, occasiee on which they have
been employed, the oesdy conduct and gallantry in action
of all the troops cornposir g that division; and his Lordship
will not fail to make known to the Government of Bombay,
the high sense he entertains of the meritorious services rentm-
ed by Major-Geseral Jones and the troops under his com-
mand.

A letter from Cassel, dated Aug. 14, says :
" The Northern Powers are extremely aaive re-
speaing the new Confederation. As aeon as the
Russian Envoy at Berlin shall have received the
necessary instruitions from St. Petersburgh, the
changes intended will probably take place. The
Counsellor of State, M. has taken a rude
sketch of this Constitution with him to St. Peters.

Hamburgh, it if. said, is to be the seat of this Con-
federation. Several of the principal cities of the
Empire will of course lose their Sovereignty. The
Duke of Brunswick is named as the Prince Primate
of the Northern Confederation. Our Ehtlnr is not
expelled to return from Berlin, till these affairs are
in a great m .asute settled, and the answer of the
Court of St. Petersburgli is received ; this is es-
peeted about the 24th instant."
Another letter, dated Paris, 7tOth Aug. states :
" The intercourse between Paris and London still

corrinues. it is also remarked, that Lords

mouth and Lauderdale made a visit two days az
M. M. Champagny and Clarke, which the la
returned a few holds after, and that the day he
yesterday these two Lords dined with the Mini

pointed others in their place. The new oases

any appearance of the kind, has given °rein's,

Both the Calabrias have been declared in a
