Could Austria want more just motives for war..'
than what she had already received ? Her indeci-
skin, like that. of Prussia..previous to the battle of
kusterlits, will be equally fatal to both nations.
Their jealousy and waist of confidence is their mu-
tual ruin. Such is, and deserve; to be, the fate of
indecisive sovereignties. Why was not advantage
taken of the trifling differences between the Count
of Berlin and Stockholm, to introduce ltussiati
troops into Pomerania, under pretext of assist-
ing the Swedes against Prussia ? Tbey would
have then been ready to aft immediately against
France, while the Cabinet of St. Cloud would have
been doped by this artifice. Nothing, in faft, would
have pleased it better, than the prospeit of the three
Courts wasting each others strength ! But no, in-
tripe is only prevalent at St. Cloud, not a Mini-
ster in the three Courts could be found to arrange
so trifling an artifice.
The consequences are now, the entire subjeftion
of the Continent; and, perhaps, a renewal of the
title of the Western Empire. Are such extraordina-
ry events tope ss by without our derivingeorse advan-
tage from them, to serve us on that day which shall
decide the fate of the world, and decree its empire to
one of the two great rival nations, now struggling
for superiority! yes, such a day will, I doubt not,
soon arrive, and on British ground will the Empire
of the Universe be decided. F:ance and England
can so more exist together, in their respeftive great-
ness, than the world can bear the existence of two
suns—one must fall. All nations, like men, ha►e a
certain stated course of existence :and the day which
gives the sovereign empire of Europe to one nation,
will proclaim America, at a future day, to be the
next quarter of the world whlch shall be distinguish-
ed by superiority. Asia and Africa have had their
day ; Europe is fast approaching to its dissolution.
The fall of the future empire of America will, per.
baps, proclaim the threatened• dissolution of the
Universe. Atoms.

LONDON,
FRIDAY, OCTOUR 31.

The .Eloelors of the city of Westminster, in the
lemma of Mr. Pautr., dined yesterday at the
Crown and Anchor Tavern, in the Strand. The
Meeting was full, and, with a few exceptions, very
respeaable. We have heard much of Mr Pau'. t's sue-
ems is his canvass, end we do sincerely believe, that
common fame has not over-rated it. It was, there.
fare, with concern we saw him fastened um*
Paint COBIZTT, who had the modesty to heel*
upon riding in the same coach to the Crown mid
Anchor, and to take to himself the applies 's
lavished upon Mr. Pau Lt.. A conibinktion of
circumstances, which could not have been fmmem,
opens to Mr. Paola, a peeepea of success, to which,
as on individual, not intimately conneaed with
'Woemtineter, he could have had, a little time ago,
WET few pretensions. If he would not blight
diem hopes, and destroy those prospoas,he must keep
a few pretended friends at s distance. Hearts Toose,
being a gentleman and a scholar, was not half so
injurious to the fame and thafaCter of Sir
FRANCIS Business, as this malignant slanderer and
low-bred Jacobil must prove to Mr. Pa ut.t. Re-
solved not to lose an opportunity to gratify his
vanity at the expencs of his friend, he had his Sap-
pers stationed, yesterday, at the Crown and Anchor,
to invite him to the Chair, after Sir FRANCIS
Burmese had quitted it. And a pretty figure he
made in it. Scarcely was this Sancho Panne seated
on his throne, when, feeling his honours hang auk-
wudly about him, he abdicated, not to canvass a
setion of the City, as recommended by Sir FRANCIS
Byrum'', het, being a man of superior infloence,
to bespeak the votes of a whole arramli,seassit.
Mr. H MUSIC/7, the Featherman, nest succeeded to
the Chair, and resolving not to be outdone in zeal
and energy, undertook to =MASS a whole evnrg of
the to*n. His seal, however, soon evaporated in
tNe fumes of his wine, and he sat until be saw the
company out. We repeat, that Mr. PAOLA has
every thing to fear from such friends as Peru
; and if he fails, he will piobibly owe
his failure to the connection.
The Eleaion for the Borough of Southwark com-
menced yesterday. A full report of the proceed-
ings is given in our subsequent columns.

It is reported, that the King of Pausal k has en-
tered into a Negociation for Peace with BONA-
. The report is premature, but we shell not
be surprised if the event should justify the specula-
tion. BONA, AKTe. pursuing the policy which he
pranised after the battle of Austerlitz, will not lose
a moment to offer terms. We fear, the Russians
are not sufficiently near to encourage the King of
PRUSSIA to rejelt them.
It it mentioned in some private letters, that Sas-

ony had withdrawn front it; alliance with Prussia.
Its is not imptobable, that the E &Ana oa,
in ord,er to
prevent his States from being treated is a conquered
count: y, m ty have been forced to adopt that course.
I;o7 AP). t es appeal to the Saxons led us to appre-
hend, that he entertained sanguine expeaatiuns of
being able to detach that Government and people
from Prussia, and include them in the Confede-
ration of the Rhine, cr in the words of Ta.i.t.tv-
R atilfS Report, that he will allow no one to esulave
them but himself. We fear, therefore, that this
report is not without foundation. We have the
pleasure however, to relied, that the Saxon :army
is incorporated with the Prussian troops, and cannot
be severtd from t em in a moment, by the dash of
a pen.

From the persevering canvass amongst the
Scholars of Trinity College, Dublin, on the pat t of
Mr. Foesrea, the success of the format Member,
Right Hon. Geoacia KNOT, was for some time
supposed doubtful; but, on that gentleman's re-.
pair mg to Dublin, he found all his old friends
staunch as ever, and not a doubt remains of his re- '
election.
We understand Sir WA rain Lawns, father of the
city, was, last night, put in nomination by the in.
dependent Livery of Landon, as a fit representative
for that city. When we recollea the constitutional '

On Wednesday se'nuieht, at a muster of the
Shrewsbury Volunteers, Col. Sirens RLtsOAttet.ev,
after complimenting them on the unanimity and pa-
triotism which had ever animated their condua, in-
formed them, with much concern, that the stare of
their fund was inadequate to the necessary expendi-
tures, and that the allowance from Goverarnent was
quite insufficient for their maintenance. He then
read the resolutions of a committee of officers, re-
commending such plans of economy as were neces-
sary for the continuance and support of the corps ;
and concluded by assuring them, that he never
would leave them, so long as their exertions were
honourable to themselves and to their country.
