POLITICAL EVENTS OP THE WEEK.

OCT. 15.

The contents of the foreign papers received during the
course of the week, are. as usual, contradictory ; some inclin-
ing to an amicable conclusion at Altenburg ; whilst others,
still more confidently and peremptorily, speculate upon the
revival of hostilities. It is worthy of notice that the ' fir-
mer are immediately under the coutroul of the French;
and the latter, which consider the recommencement of
war as unavoidable, are Rublished in the midst of the
Austrian Armies. This difference of tone and policy bewil-
ders the speculator, and the only reasonable conjecture we
can form is, that BUONAPARTE is willing, for obvious
reasons, to keep alive the idea, that Austria is too impo.
tent ; her councils too distracted, and her armies too much
dispirited to refuse, without inevitable rain the condition
he proposes. It is not difficult to comprehend the motives
of such conviction and language. They are calculated to
repress the -loyalty of the Austrian Provinces, occu-
pied by the French troops; to spread distrust amongst
her secret abettors, that is every man scattered over
that immense tract of land,- where the German lan-
guage is spoken, where German impiessions have
been long imbibed, and German feelings of indepen-
dence current; to counteract the exertions of the
Austrian Cabinet, to inspire the population of Bohemia,
Hungary, and Moravia, with that enthusiastic devotion,
which is superior to difficulties and: dangers; and, lastly,
and particularly, to discourage the brave and patriotic
mountaineers of the Tyrol ; but, above all, to throw the
odium of hostilities on the Emperor' FRANCIS. The Aus-
tfian government, on the 'contrary, wishes to prove to its
subjects, to the world, to the independent of every nation,
that its resources are still entire, its spirit equal to present
and future contiwiencies,And to re-animate that generous
sympathy repressed but not extinguished, which once made
every good and ardent spirit all °vet-Europe a party with
the weak, and an enemy to the oppressor. Such are, pro-
bably, the situation and views of the two parties. We will
now detail the intelligence bro:ight by these Papers.—An
article from Vienna, of the 16th ult. says, 4‘ Our Course of
Exchange is still bad. A principal demand -in the Ne-
gociations for Peace is, that until a pacification with
England, a French army shall remain in the Austrian
Stales." If Austria consent to the degrading and in-
sidious proposal, her dOom is sealed ; and her so-
vereign becomes as virtually a vassal of BUONAPARTE, as
the King Of WURTESIBERG himself. Complete ruin, the
certainty of absolute despondency, are, a thousand and.a
thousand times less painful to a generous mind, than the
sting of endless disappointment, and the protracted pain of
always decreasing hope. We learn front Munich, that an
officer passed through that city for Vienna, with the infor-
mation that the Tyrolcans broke through the cordon of
French and Bavarian troops, forced them to 'a rapid re-
treat, and made a demonstration of occupying, the Bishop-
rick of Salzburgh, thus meeting their antagonists in the
plain. The unshaken loyalty, courage, and patriotism of
those virtuous mountaineers, it is impossible to admire or
praise too much 1 But it is not their efforts aloue, but
the tendency of their -example, and the tame of their
exploits, which are dangerous to the common ene-
my of mankind •in this moment. They prove to the Ger-
mans, the Swiss, and Italians, that the despotism they
tor.v complain of may be resisted, and resisted effica-
cionsly, it' they have • only :courage to hazard the
attempt, arid intrepidity to persovere in it. The longer the
