On the following dim, nieet:og the Gentleman in the

plained the matter to the Livery, was sails/artery I Ile es-
pressed his satisfaction at the manner in %Lich I had made

sian armies entered Amsterdam, coerced the Dutch,
and restored the Stailtholder. It is, indeed, true,
that, neither in the campaign of 1791, nor in those
that followed ir, did Frederick William acquire
either personal glory, or any addition•of territory.
Ito the contrary, after expending his uncle's trea-
sures. in addition to the subsidies of Great-Britain,
he abandoned the Confederacy at Basle, in 179.5.
But, by the second partition of Poland, an act more
sanguinary, more atrocious, and more deserving of
abhorrence, than even the first partition had limo,
Prussia received, for her share sof the guilt and
ir-
ferny, a new and a vast accession of dominion.—
Warsaw, as well as Mitotic, fell into her hands ;
red, when the late King, after a short reign of ele-
ven years, devolved the sceptre its his son, he might
be regarded as one of the 'snort powerful Sovereigns
of the Coutsurtit.

Such he unquestionably was, if Europe bad re
maimed on her sinvient haat ; or if he had possessed
the strength of mind, decision, vigour, and force of
charect.J, demanded by his situation, by the condi-
tion of Germany, and by the revolutionary enter-
prises of France. But, instead of forming a close
connexion with Austria, for their coinuuns preserva-
tion against the general destroyer, the new King
beheld that Power humbled at M irengo, and de-
spoiled at Luneville, without an effort, or an exer-
tion of any kind. During thiintervid of time that
elapsed between the Treaty of Luneville mid the
commencement of the succeeding war with France,
in the Alaimo of 1805; no measures were em-
braced for the preservation of Germany, though
already half subverted, sad menaced by Baia-
parte with complete annihilation, as a political in-
stitution, of which the Elector of Brelideisbnrgh
farmed an integral and essential member. Even
when Napoleon, en his march towards Vienna,

across the territory of Anopsch, sad afforded at
once the strongest motives, as well as the most fa-
vourable occasion. to Frederick William, to eater
the lists, hr barely sod tamely declined to extricate
Austria. to save Germany, and to anent the course
of Napoleon. All the solicitations of the Emperor
Alexander himself. sustained by his presence at
Beth,,, and animated by • visit which the two
Princes made Wilke remains of the great Frederick.

lowed ; and the destruction of Prussia, postponed,

and to degrade his victim. Napoleon' first com-
pelled him to accept Honorer, as • compensations
for the two Frallll'olllllo blergraviates, and for the
Province of East Frietlaud ; sal when. iit last.
Frederick William, awaking from his lethargy, at-
tempted to stop, and meditated resistance, the
Corsican. with his u-ual promptitude, instantly
marched into Thuringia. At the battle of Aver-
*tad,. the Prussian Molmorliy fell, as by enchant-
ment; while the uufoktunate King. she hod re-
posed on the perfidious, or pusillanimous councils
of Ilaugwitx. of Lucchesini, and of Lombard, had
