RUSSIA.

The most prevalent reports stated yesterday, that intel-
ligence bad been received of the complete settlement nf
dif-
ferences between France and Russia, in consequence of
which the Russian ports were to remain closed against our
commerce. When we consider the overawing prepara-
tions which BUONAPARTE has made for a campaign in the
North, the terrible pageantry war which he has display-
ed, and the muhirude of Kings, Emperors, and na-
tions which he le:id, to battle, we should not be surprised
to find that the terrors in which he has clothed • himself
have once more intimidated the weak mind of ALEXANDER.
This monarch set out in his iLign with the hope and the
avowed intention of becoming a hero. To realize his
plans of futute nme, he espoused the cause of the feeble
agi-,;nst the strong, and although defeated at Austerlitz
and compelled
,to regulate his retreat according to the
,ill and the dictation of his conquerer, he soon reentered
the field and on the tomb of ti:e Great FREDERICK swore
to maintain the Cr,:wn and territories of his Ally, the King
of Paussin, inviolate. Eut his heroic fervour was that of
a romantic, not of a great mind. The sanguinary cam-
' paign in Poland had no sooner brought war to the
confines of his donlinionl, than lips assumed virtue drop-
ped, the hero vanished, and the weak Prince was induced
to share in the spoil.; of the Monarch, whose dominions
he had voluntarily sworn to protect. Wh,a, he now per.
ceives a still more formidable enemy encamped on his
h omit rs, and supported by all the remaining force of
Prussia, and the assisttnce of Austria, we entertain but
faint hypes that he w It pi (ler resistance to submission,
especially if the terms offered by France still leave him
the least shadow of independence.
The uniform opinion however, respecting the conduct
of the French Armies in the North is, that only provi-
sions are scarce, but that BUONAPARTEN Treasury is so
far exhausted, that he is unable to put-Chase those necessa-
ries for his Army, which be has hitherto been in the ha-
bit of obtaining by plunder.
