and the compait itself has been .6.101 iied, there is
in •he orevnt state of Great Britain and France,
powerful inducements with lalth to enter upon a
ni-gociation. and to t onulude such a peace, as it
will he the interest of both countries. in the pur-
s•ii: of their respeaive schemes of policy, to uphold
and preserve. Ir must be frequently in our view. that
the obstruelions to a separate peace ate entirely re-
rnoved,that by the conduet of the Court of Sr. Pews-
burgh. this country, proudly conspicuous for the
atria maintenance of her goad faith, has now
deservedly the merit of that high cheracter, without
being enbjelted to those impediments, which, on
the nil lion of the Earl of LAVOIRDALi, in no
atirtall degree contributed to render that nego-
tiating' fruitless. We are, therefor*. now disentan-
gled from the consideration of complicated and fre-
quently clashing interests, and the policy and duty
of both Governments would be to appreciate their
own separate interests, sn weigh the nature and im-
portance of the erriiv.lents and concessions in the
power of each to give, always contrasting the aaual
acknowledged naval superiority of Great Britnin
with the extended Continental preponderance of
Trance. ?edged in the resolution which has takes
place in the French appetite for dominion, however
we lament even its consummation, we still must
;distend, that it is moth less h.‘stile to our interests,
and snore conducive to successful negociation, than
the Jacobin principle. whi* denied all interference
with conquered countries, under the revolutionary
cant of the integrity of the French empire.
In the changes of the old Get manic Constitution,
in the new Confederation of the Rhine, in the esta-
blishments of the new Dynasties of Westpl.alia and
Warsaw, and in the probable views of Bort A e A at x on
the Hanseatic Cities, there is an extensive bobverbi• n
of old establishments, and a boundless event of
French influence. But they are merely transfers of

lower and supremac:, without the least increase
to the aaual aggrandisement of France. Indeed to
him who closely scrutinises the anions and objeas of
NaroLausi, during the lau campaigns, it will ap-
pear that they were more direaed to elevate aul
d;gnify the family of Bog AAAAAA than to promote
the ultimate security of France. Here then are in•
sincements with BONAPARTE to negotiate. Here
is a great change in the rulati.ms between Great
Britain and France. Since the late negotiation tat the
Eul of LAILDLIIDALL the number and the natute
of the equivalents are considerably augmented an.l
clanged. It is true, as to him, they are the result
of his auccess, and the fruits cf his vi Tories. Still
they are incl:nplete. They want in the mind of Bo-
a rn-u,r;al confirmation. With all the
chardteristic imp itience of humanity, he thirsts for
that which it is most difficult to ac Ittire, and esti.

But is there nothing to apprehend from the ex-

of Europe, and over those countrie: up:.n which we
are loored to depend fur the most important ma. I
terials of our naval stores ? Above all, ought we to
overlook the great increase of wealth and capital
the attainment of Peace must impart to a country
so coinmercially engaged as this; and which, when-
ever the zonduct of Fra.oce imposed the aecessiiy.
would enable us to recommence hostilities with ree
newest energies and ren seated vigour ? The policy
of bon countries directs to a Peace ; and neither, in
the result of its being completed, would lose sight
of the necessity of increasing its security, or of im-
proving the resources for attack. So far they would
yroceed pars equal.
It is impossible, in a question of flis kind, to
overloot an inference forcibly suggested by a care-
tut coutempiatioo of the passions and hob:4 of the
Head of the French empire. Hasty in the tayres-
slims oi his vengeance, end bu led up by the splen-
did events of Ms tot tone, he had menaced Great
Britain with invasion, mad tar that apparent pur.
pose assembled his numerous armies opposite our
shores. It is a question wnetuer they ever Weft

lusion, and as the most convenient tkpti for im-
mediately marching to execute his then not sufaci-
'lolly matuied objets against the Continent. At all
events, he has tried the eifeds of his donhle.handed
policy, and has proved that the scourge with
which Le menaced us, was intended for the degra-
dation and suffering of others. Su.h pilafs re-
lieved him for a time from the necessity either of
giving up or realising his promise of invasion. But
the moment is now arrived when France and the
world will call sposifam to attempt its execution.
Will he make the attempt? Are not his means for
accomplishing it considerably deteriorated *inn the
Prussian war With all the rapidity which charac-
terises his movements, with all that seeming want of
preparation and fare-thought, which, on a first view,
surplice, yet nearer observation will convince us, that
he carefully measures the intervening obstacles,
and never makes the advance until he has almost
the moral certainty of succeeding. The probability
is, that he will not invade. He knows the variety
of impediments, the superiority of his enemy on
that element, where even he, the darling of For-
tune, has been universally disappointed. He is
aware of the manners and spirit of the people whom
be has threatened, and of the incalculable danger to
the scot, ity of his own throne, in case of failure
and defeat. What then it the alternative left to him ?
Negotiation. How should Great Britain receive it
By turning the hasty and irritable feelings of her
enemy to bet advantage; by gaining from the di-
lemma to which this stressing Conqueror is
reduced by his own insolence and vanity, that which
his injustice would refuse ; and what, from a
chain of unfortunate circumstances, she is at pre.
sent disabled from demanding. Sine. the octit-
maces of the late campaign, Malta, for which'we
weut to war, has lost considerably in comparative
importance. Sicily, the Om gat sou of the last
negotiation. is also materially depreciated. The
cession tat the Mouths of the Cattaro puts Bona-

meat of the Grecian Islands. Of course, from
geographical reasons, Malta and Sicily lose greatly

Marshal Masque has key at Paris for some days.
It is said that his Serene Highness the Prince of
Neufchatel, is g3oe to the Head-Quarters of Mar-
shal Brune. It is generally imagined that the ob-
je@ of his jou•nef relates to a negotiation com-
menced with the Swedish Goya-nine:a.

A corps of the army, which is supposed to be des-
tined to.shat the ports of Portugal against the Eng-
lish, in case the Court of Lenioa should not accept
the mediation of Russia far the re-establishment of
maritime peace, is assembling near the Western Pyre-
nees. it is said that General Juin., Governor of
Paris, will have the command of it, and that Isis
Excellency is to set out to-morrow week, to put
himself at the head of this corps, which is to be
called " hhe Corps of Observation of the Gironde."

It is asserted. that the condo.% of the King of
Sweden has irritated the Swedes aglinst him to
such a degree. that he could not possibly have re-
ceived a worse reception than ke did at S.ralsuad,
and that be was that two days afterwards when
riding abroad. If it Isle true that this ?glace has
met with so deplorable a fate, he is the third King
of Sweden that has been assassinated within the last
century. It is easy to foresee the political cot:-
sequences take death. Ta a certainty they would
sot be favourable to the enemies of the peace of the
Cbotioent.

The extraordinary entertainment given last night
in the garden of Tivoli , by way of rejoicing for the
peace, and the return of the k.mperor, attraaed an
immense concourse. The public was highly satis-
fied with the dexterity of Foriosa's company, and
the beauty of the fire-work% which were played off at
ball past ten.
A fire balloon was launched, and. rose majesti-
cally to a sufficient height to be seen by all Paris,
and was instantaneously enveloped
.in flames, pro-
duced by the fire-works which it contained. At
eleven o'clock precisely, M. Garneria having bees
informed that the person who was to accompany
him, had changed his mind, nimbly leaped into his
car, and rose, wishing a good night to the specta-
tors, who replied with unanimous acclamations. The
balloon, the same that was used at the coronation at
Milaa,was decorated with festoons of coloured lamps,
which enabled the eyes follow it, till it mingled with
