DEFECTION OF BAVARIA-SECRET ARTICLE OF HER
' TREATY WITH t HE ALIA E.S-DIFFICUI.TiK• Or THE
FRENCH-BUONPARTF.'S ADVANCE 'i'OWARDS BER-
LIN-EXPECTED GR IND BATTLES,

NAPOLEON seems to have exhausted the cup of his for-
tunes. Taught by a hundred victories that he was invim ible,
he also fancied that the friends whom he had associated to
his power, were bound to his cause by indissoluble ties.
He forgot that ambition has no friends but those whom
success creates, 'and who, like the shadows produced
by the sun, vanish when its splendour sets. He now
begins • to perceive that prosperity tied blinded
but he is enlightesed too late. He rushed into a new con-
test, firmly relying on the co operation of the vassals who
owed him their political consequence and their crowns, and
on the forbearance, at least, if not the continued assistance
of a Sovereign, whose daughter had been surrendered ro his
arms. These entered into his calculations, and encouraged
him to endeavour, by renewed hostilities, to ie,,oen his lest
ascendancy, instead of marking any sacrifices f r peace.
They thus betrayed him into ruin : for, untaught by the de-
fection of Austria, (who, as soon as she saw that the extent
of the preparations of the Allies promised them success,
threw or her reluctant emotes:ion with France and rt.:need
herself amongst her enetnies,) he per-evered in a contest
which every day grew more hopeless, till repulsed in all his
offensive movements and completely sum rounded, his situation
appeared to his vassals themselves too desperate to leave him
a chance of retrieving his fortunes, and they bean to consult
their own safety and to purchase a peace at the ex-
pense of considerable sacrifices in order not to be swallowed
up in his ruin. At the head of those who have shaken
oft NAPOLEON'S yoke (for though the other Powers of the
Rhenish Confederation haVe not yet done it openly, Imre is
no doubt but they only wait for a safe °pporfneity to fol-
low. the example thus given them) is Bavaria. Of all
the Princes raised up to the Kingly authority by NAPOLEON,
none have received greater marks of -le eferente than the
-Bavarian' Monarch. His • territories bad been more than
&abic& eitiring the three last A Jot! iao %%ars, and, from a
' second:oty Power, he had•been raised to oearly an equality
with tie proud ',louse of Hapsburg, whose fairest pro-
vinces had been transferred liv the conqueror to his hands.
There %vele motives of interest, arided to these of gratitude,
(by which men ore generally thought to be actuated) to
attach this sovereign to I`-;APOLEON, and the reason which
threw him into the arms of the Allies, where lie could• only
be received, after he should have restored a considerable
part of the
-acquisitions •made under BCONAPARTE, most
therefore have !%.e;) one which admitted •of no other line of
