THE BRITISH PRESS.

LONDON, •
WEDNESDAY. Novimsza e.

We delayed our press, yesterday, to lay before
'our readers a complete copy of the Treaty of Peace
between France and Austria—a document long
looked for with anxiety, and which it was our good
fortune to publish almost CICLUSIVCLY. No state
document submitted to Europe by N•POLE011,
since he first seised on the supreme power in
France, merits more attentive and patient inves-
tigation, in order to discover, or to ascertain, its re.
sults, of every kind, than does this treaty. Its
operation is more concealed than it is apparent or
ostensible. The articles, cessions of territory, and
regulations, commercial, as well as political, are
■ll planned with consummate ability; end will, we
venture to prydict. be vitally felt in their conse-
quences, remote, no less than immediate. It cos•
summates all that the four preceding treaties of
Leoben, Campo Forntio, Luneville, and Preshurg,
had left imperfect er incomplete; and renders the
Corsican Erupe:Or the only real sovereign, arbiter,
and disposer of the Continent. These who, when
the essence is lost. can red Satisfied with mimes,
may exult at seeing that Fe.wects is still allowed to
wear his title of Emperor. Bat of what is ire Em-
peror ? Of Germany ? No; not even in pretension.
Aod of that Archduchy of Austria to which he
clings, he is reduced, by this very treaty, to cede a
most important frontier portion to his enemy, at
whose Bispositiat► it is to remain, for the interest
of the Sovereigns of the League of the Rhine ;"
thus riveting their chains, while he cements his own.
As well, in fact, might the English derive come:da-
tion from their Sovereign being permitted-by Bo-
AAAAA E, after laying down the title of King of
England, to qualify hitnself King of Kent; while,
by the very same instrument. he gave up Sandwich,
or Romney, to his. Cofiqueror I Even at the
peace of Tilsit, where the unfortunate FREDeRIc
WILLIAIN appeared before NAPOLEON, in the
same, or nearly the same attitude, as Pease,
did before Pat: tut EMILIE', or Jtieuarn• before
blicri:r.tes; yet was he allowed, and so he is at
present, to denominate himself King of Vaunt*.
But. is he so in reality ? Does lie dare to revisit
Berlin, his own capital ? Does he even venture to
cross the Vistula, into Pomerania. or Bramlen.
burgh ? Does lie presume to receive an English
ship into any of his ports, or rivers ? Can he con.
eider his throne, or even his life, secure, if Boat.
PARTE should demand theta ; more than a Hospo.
der of Moldavir, or of Wallachia, when a Capigi
Bach:, is petit from the SURLIER PoRTE to bring
hack their heads in a silken bag? And can we
mines to such a precarious. and degraded existence,
moral or political, the idea of kingly dignity or
independence? Assuredly not. But, it will be
said, Faawcts is not yet fallen to this revel. •Nor
is he, we shall admit. But, his Neanacles, though
less heavy and iguominitimr, are not the less bind-
ing. We shall examine the links, one by our, and
endeavour to show their bearings, tendency, and
operation. Bet, before we proceed to state the
cessions of territory made by this peace, we must
advert to the preliminary articles, which contain
some matter, neither irrelevant, cur destitute atm-
portance..

11'e believe that this is the first public treaty, in
which BONAPARTII, to his inperiol, royal, and
protectoral titles, subjoins the quality of "
for of the League of Switzerland ;" which country,
heuceforward, under that assunsptioa, may be re-
garded as not less his, than any province of France.
As a mere corollary, following from the plenitude
of his irresistible power, be includes, in the second
article, his sere. dependent revolutionary kings,
who revolve, hke satellites, round his orb ; and whit
have been created, and are continued in 'political
existence, by his plastic hand. That ha does net
yoke them, like Sxsosvais, to his car, results only
from his policy, his pity, or his regard. His second-
ary planets, the Prince Primates, and Grand
Dukes, follow in due procession. The hilt of these,
is the unfortunate Archduke FIRDINAUD, brother
of the Emperor Faancts, and next in collateral suc-
cession to the dominions of the 'loose of Austria.
This prince, who has already undergone as many
rostamoipkoses on the throne, as Lord Lursaroo a
hoe done in the Cabinet ; sad oboes mild virtues,

weirdly of a better fate, *ere ill t;uttliatil to struggle

to dimness seriatim, the articles of the peace.
It appears from the Dutch Papers, that Boma-
PARTE arrived at Fonteinbleau, on the .26111 ; mon,
as we ventured to predict. he was the beater of
the Treaty. The reports of his imiielioai:ion
are copied from the London Prints; end it un-
mated that has favourite Physician had arrived at
Vienna, from But it is added, that his pre-
sence was requiredi not by the Mores of Ile Na PA UTE,

Another night of tumult gists us nothing to
record respectiug this Theatre, but scenes disgust-
ing to behold, and revolting to human nature to
describe. From the commencement of the plat,
(The Exile), to the final dropping of the cu-taiii,
confusion reigned. At times, porticulinly during
the second act, there were tranqud pins.-; but,
upon the whole, every isles of dramatic Amu...ecru:id
mutt he abandoned. It might. with truth, be said,
that the play was a farce, and the farce la. en-
tertainment. After the half-prices, thud 164011-
mum became greater; and the pit assumed more
the appearance of a den of ferocious savages. then
an sudienue of civilised men. Nlauy sham-tights.
and one serious battle, took place. A single
spirited individual bid defiance to the united
MINN of the 0. P.'s, and the cowardly herd tied be-
fore him, till they procured a champion to maintain,
by pugilistic combat, their disgraceful cause. Not
content with the prowess of this hero, we witnessed.
with indignation, several of the 0. P.'s (and
particularly a g,at. hulking fellow, in a grey
coat, who thstitc4uisliert himself throughout the
evening) strike their adversary, when down. But
we could not expect the chat aeteristic traits of Bri-
ton, from so desperate a gang as this now appears
to be. Numbers of placards were displayed—aune
of thewsvery new, or at all entertaining—

"Quiet without, surf noise within;'
" Haag ketuhle sold Brandon ,"
Were the best 4:flumeslo of thct...f witty writers on
this occasion.

The boxes were in general quiet ; hut one or
two of these placards and a few 0. P.'s were
LIMA in the drew circle, as web as in the steond
tier.

Half a dozen Men, dressed as sailors, in the front
of the gallery, joined the mobility in the pit, in all
their manreuvres, and huzzied most vehemently,
according to signal.
The running up and doa ti the henefies—mislr-
lug one another—and terrifying the few fenialts
who were in the pit, filled up the history of the
exploits of these redoubted advocates for decortini,
and self-created representatives of the people.
The night was fertile in orators; four or five of
wham started, after the farce on tie stags con-
cluded. Oue man, in the dress hoses, we believe
hired vy a low newspaper to apply the puff-direct,
got up and told a rock.and-bull story about the
ease of Winholt, and his own aunts and sisters in
the private boxes. It was a pity the friends of this
poor fellow, if he had any around, did not preve.ht
km disclosing any family wish,' tunes or disgraces
that may hove affected his feelings. A second
Demosthenes appeared in the pit, like Saul sunniig
the people, euutedere dam. doe. and this !laming
speaker commuted with a well-conned oration,
prc pared for the accasiol. He spoke about Mug-
lg C.tortu—ranpbithadres of Greece and Horne--
the h4seless fabrics ,of visions—himself—his escape '
from triose who, like " rolling lions," had him in
sate keeping—aud then it was we discovered that
the wretched creature was a maniac escaped
from his ke,pers. What he said afterwards, coo-
ii,rned us in the correatness of this opinion; and as
he was cheered and be-shouted, we mentally ex-
claimed " And thus it is, that one font makes
many." The next Orator, who attempted speechifi-
cation, was also in the pit. bat his powers fulled
him iii the offset ; and on the cry of to Hear hint
old." he was so completely out in his speech, that
be v;•ry graciously sat don't.
Two other declaimers appeared in the boxes, but
they were also short-winded, and we could only
gather from thews altogether. that they recom-
mended perseverance. and, in the words of one of
them, " to resistakoirquer or perish !" To this
tender advice, their kind hearted friends around.
shouted "Hang Ruoff, hang Kerahle!" &t., just as
the orators pointed at theme persons. The whole
diversions of the night, concluded with groans,
cheers, and God save the King. as usual.

One of the oratots, last night, at Covent-Garden,
was, we understood, RoaCKT "'Armin, of South
Lincoln, attorney-at-low.

During the alarming riot which took place at Mr.
K anllLea house in Great Russell-street, the lady of
Mr. Serjeant SIIIPUSSD and her children were
thrown into great consternating, by several of the
0. P. mob having scaled the walls of the garden,
and attempted to break in at the back doers ; they
took to flight on the arrival of 'the watchman front
Bedford-office, having first broken arid earned away
several of the orramental iron rails which extend
frost Russell-street to Montague-street.--It will be
recollected, that the shocking riots 441780 con.
meneed with the plunder of iron-railiag from the
houses of Or metropolis.
The O. P. rioters satiate nightly the house of
Mr. CLIFFORD, a very respectable man, of charac-
ter and fortune, in Ducat's s-inn-fierlds, witb loud
huessa, mistaking it foe the residence of their cham-
pion. Mr. CLtrroan, who lives in chambers, in Lim-
celn's-inn. The latter person is the Barrister who
distinguished himself so greatly at the Brrntford
elLettem, by the correctness of his legal opinion on
the mushroom freeholders of the Good Intent mill.
