latiom ; the English Goverfrme:.t would not expose
Prussia ; however, the hostile attitude they kept with
her was only a political masquerade: it breaks
through the declaration. France WAS not the dupe
of it ; but she, perhaps, too long suffered Lord Lau-
derdale to In it pair. which, from that moment, ap-
peared useless to the general good, sad unworthy of
his personal charatter.
The English Ministry did not reveal their alliance
with Pi ussia before they saw her arrived on the field
of battle. Then they sent her an Ambassador and
117011(1/ : then they looked upon the Prussian army as
their own. This was first seen by the exultation
with which they got it praised by their hireling %ni-
ters ; and afterwards by the ridiculous rumours
• they set afloat cf its victories. Nothing would bet-
ter set off the successes of the--. French army, than
to relate the extravagances with which the English
Journaiists endeavoured to lull public credulity.
We heartily regret our net being able to afford our
readers this entertainment. Indeed, the very re-
treat alone of Lord Morpeth evinces the falsity of
them to enlightened Englishmen, until the arrival
of the inevitable trutu loads the hawkers of these
reports with indelible ridicule. The remembronce
of Austerlitz ought to have for ever disgusted the
English Ministry from having recourse to such
unworthy subterfuges.
What are we, in general, to conclude from this de-
clef ation and these new shifts? What, indeed, bet
that the war has again been made by the intrigues
and for the sale interests of England ! After sacri-
ficing to this cruel projett the advantages which
were proposed to her, is it not. singular she should
still accost: the ambition of France ? that she should
reproach her with seeking to make acquisitions, to
the very moment when she was making cessions to
her, which she is unable to deny ? It may torcher
be seen, from this Declaration, that those whcm
iingland calls her Allies, are necessarily the enemies
of France. Thus, it anthorises the Emperor Napo-
Icon to reduce them to an impossibility of hurting ;
it forces him to augment the power it complains or;
it evidently shows that peace is adjourned until
England be whelly excluded from the affairs of the
Continent.—(airztis.)

The Diunlution of the English Parliament makes
or some days a haepy diversion from the news
of the Continent. The iotrigties going forward
every where for the General ,h leition. absorb the
attention of politicians ; they seem to adjourn every
other care. The hlinistry spare neither pains nor
money to fill the Parliament with their creatures:
the mistrust of their own strength bk. invert

far from being become more favonrab'e to them.

they have for their enemies the ftieesis of Mr.
Pitt, and the supporters of Mr. Fox's system.—
They have entirely alienated the former, AA can
no longer adept their exaggerated opinion, without
exposing themselves to public contempt and a cer-
tain downfal. Their position is maw equivocal and
critical beyord which it has ever been. Several Ca-
binet conferences are every day held, at which the
Prussian Minister attends. lluno when the Eighth
Government have drawn any Continental Power to
the brink of ruin, they have no other succour to af-
ford her but conferences/ But this serves at least to
eso the concert which exists between the two Ca-
binets, and to enlighten those who night yet let
themselves be misled by the dangerous promises of
England.
