The events of every revadvilig year familiarize Us
more awl snore with the idea of a total anti a perma-
nent revolution among the Contineittul European
s.litatee. If Austria earnest sternest(' arrest the pro-
gress of NAI*.iLLON, his Brothers, and Generals,
towards universal Empire, there is, in fact, no
longer any struggle leetweeti the new and the lit-
cirut for Russia is, in fact, an Asiatic
Power, such as Parthia was to (tonic. Aud tho'
the Turks may be m tintaitsed by us beyond the
Bosphorus, as _well as in the numerous islande or
possessions between the Hellespont end the Nile,
yet their European provinces, including the cilia-
tal, cannot support any •long or successful war
against Russia and modern France, including Ger-
many, I lollared. Italy, and Spain. That the balance
of potter, which for ages had been sustained with
little variation, nod that Governments which had
stood the shock of soon years, should have fallen
prostrate before a Corsiesin Lieut. of Artillery, who,
in the narrow space of a few Jeers, has exceeded
the dreams of universal Monarchy, successively
attributed to CUARLFS the Filth, to PIIII.IP the
Second, and to Louis the Fourteenth, may well
harrow ns up with fear and wonder. Yet so it
is. If au immediate rupture should take place,
as we suppose to be the fact, between the Em-
peror of AL:STILL* and BiIN•PARTIgt sheik the west-
ern and southern provincesof the Py renews peitilissile

occupy Ass:lamina at opposite extremities of hi.
dominions, Prussia and Sasony were to declare for
the Austriaas, there st.il retiotia some hope •
of setting limits to Nsentatoe's conquests. Such
sin effort seems to be ppeeilile, though we are far
from venturing to predict its successful result.
After the lameotable experieuce of so many (14111.•
pimps as we have witumised since 179 a, closed by
the eisainitons retreat to Corutitei, and our eme
bit,kation, rommemorated in the Illoniteur of the
15th of February, what confidence can we repose
its futurity ? The Austrian Monarchy, its finAllees,
forces, officers, artillery, every part of its political,
as well as military machinery, are worn out, or
feeble, or defective. The young Empress governs
and direct* the Cabinet Of FRANCIS, as the Queen of
Pithasie dues the counsels of FILLIAIRIC WILLIAM.
NeeoLeoti .marchita with a firm and equal step,
folin victory to victory; from Austerlitz to Jena,
from Jena to Friedland, and from Friedland to

Such is the revolutionary tyrant with whom we are
contending; and with whom, sooner or later, it is
too probable we may have to contend, nut merely
fur empire, but for existence! There is, nevet the-
less, no reason for despair, nor for despoudeisey.--.
Though the Continent should be subjeeted, from
the Atlantic to the Propuntee, the British Ishuids
laity bid dietiaiice to his Utmost rate, if the natiottel
energier and resources are committed to able
herds. Happy in the best of Sovereign', mid pro-
tected by equal laws, and by a Constitution framed
to ditfose protection, as well as felicity, we waist no
Jueerti. or Joee nist. to replace an incapable
Moilareli, or to renovate a wont-out Government.
Lords of the ocean, as the. Corsican despot i* of the

Our manufactures, industry, credit, commerce,
may counterbalance the finance of spoliation,
and enable us to terminate honourably-the con-
test. But if, from narrow, illiberal, end 'anti-
quated- prejudiceis, political or religious, we ma.
critiee. our natural and inherent advantages—if
we aliessate, instead of conciliating, the infections
of a sister isle ; then we are indeed self-destroyed,
and must fall into the abyss prepared for us by the
subtilty of our revolutionary fur. We trust, how-
ever, in the good sense, the policy, and the wisdom
of the country, to extricate us from so fatal an
error.
