their respective states and subjects in perpetuity.
The high contracting parties will use all th •ir exertions to maintain
not only amongst themselves, but also as Mitch as depends upon them
amongst all the states of Europe, that good harmony and understand-
ing so necessary to its repose.
Art. 2. The kingdom of France preserves the integrity of its limits
such as they existe:l at the epoch of the Ist of January 1792. It.

No. 332.

The line of conduct which we have invariably pursued
on this subject, we are happy to find has given universal
satisfaction to those whose support and approbation we
most valuel-and when we say we respect ourselves too much
to descend to personalities, we but revere the liberty we
claim, and the abuse of which, for the want of a gen.
tlemanly feeling, must necessarily do mischief instead of
good.

There is happily a mingled warmth and steadiness in
the English character, vt hich, though occasionally be-
trayed into excesses, soon return to sober and rea-
sonable feelings—and the certainty of this has pointed
out the course most decent to follow in a case of such ex-
treme delicacy as that between man and wife, and where
panegyric or censure would equally injure the cause of
justice and of truth.

But there are certain unerring principles which cannot
be referred to any other tests than those of the mind and
the heart, and it is here we deplore the steps taken at this
moment ; because the effects likely to be produced and
the character that must necessarily attach to the usual
relations of parent, husband, and child, have con-
ferred on the public a right to examine the grounds of
complaint between the parties, and to take such side of
t`►e question as their conviction and feelings may induce
them to adopt. With this impartial view of the case, we
shall not find fault with those who advocate his Royal
ifighness, the Prince, no more than we expect to have the
purity of our own motives questioned in adopting the cause
of the Princess. We are equally averse to indulge the vice
of slander, as to compromise the duty of reprobation :
but we lament with the wise and humane the injuries done
to the best institutions and the most honourable feelings
of society by these family- quarrels.
The character of the Princess certainly stands too high
to need our feeble colouring—it glows with the freshness
of innocence, and the customs of country and education
cannot weaken the native frankness of an upright mind
and a conscious carriage; at the same time, there are cir-
cumstances independent of ourselves that may weigh in
the estimate of the affections, without the imputation of
crime to any one. But when we so far forget the
deference we owe to the moral prdudices of so,
iety (for amongst certain people every restraint -that
'<ryes to controul the passions is so denominated) we
must e\pect to hear our condemnation pronounced, and
our actions held up to the scorn and derision of mankind.

In a Prince, the keeping company with certain people,
or the protection of. indifferent characters should not be

DEFINITIVE TREATY.

In another part of our present publication the Treaty of
Peace will be found at hill length. The space which it oc-
c-.;ities so narrows our limits, in addition to the vast pressure
of interesting domestic intelligence, which pours in upon us
this week, that it is impossible for us to do more than direct
the attention of our Readers to the To eaty nada-
loupe, it will be seen, is restored to France. The Slava
Trade is to be abolished in five years. This is the only arti-
cle which the Opposition seem disposed strongly to object to.
They contend it ought to have been done away at once. Lord.
Castlereagh's explanation on this subject, when the Treaty is
discussed, will, we doubt not, be satisfactory.• Tilt then, we
shall not go into the question ; we slta:l only say, with every
wish to see this odious traffic put an end to, we cannot think
a British Minister would have done well to risk an open rup-
ture, or to sow the seeds of a new war in Europe to give
peace to Africa.

POLITICAL DISQUISITION.

THE UNITED STATES.

It will be recollected that when the Confederation was
first formed, it was under an idea that each State would

preserve, not only its " freedom and independence" of a
general Government, but sufficiently contribute to the

common welfare. Hence, the first Congress was called

that of the " free and independent States of North Ame-
rica." Under this system of Government they remained
for some years fter the war with the Mother Country.
However, at last, discovering that not only great incon-
venience arose in their domestiC affairs, but that an abso-
lute impediment existed to their successful negociations,
whether of commerce or politics, with foreign countries,
from the seperatc Legislatures in the various States, a new
form of Government was adopted, and its Chief Magis-
trate cloathed with the title of 44 President of the United.

States." To this Government each State ceded its former

fight 'of laying duties, raising troops, levying money, is-
suing bills of credit, and, in fact, all the functions of
Government; but, on the other hand, the municipal au-

thorities in the various communities retained all the rights
of internal regulation. A General Court, called that of
The United States," was established—a supreme tri-
bunal for appeal, and' this Court generally consisted of
individuals 'elected from the various divisions of the
Union.

But, great. as were the difficulties arising from the dis-
union in the Government, there were others of almost as
insurmountable a nature to its establishment. The Sou-
thern Planter dreaded the interference of the New England
Puritan. On the other hand, .the latter dreaded the
proud imperious spirit of the former ;. and justly founded
was this dread, as its sequel has most clearly proved.
But the total incapacity of the Congressional Government,
and the neglect experienced from the European Sovereigns,
from whom so much attention had been. expected, togP-
ther with the impossibility ,of carrying on a lucrative
trade with Great Britain, forced the establishment of the
existing system. It was the only one that could be ob-
tained, and, indeed, its rice was the yielding that repre-
sentation to property in the Southern States, which
was denied to the Northern and Eastern ; fo,

on Friday last, to afford Miss Walstein an opportunity of
appearing in the part of the repentant mistress. The selec.
flan of this piece was not happy. It is one of the most in-
consistent, and, with the exception of the last act, the most
uninteresting of its author. It abounds with improbabilities,
so thinly veiled as to strike at the very first.view. That

THE CONGRESS.

Nothin, decisive ap-eats to have vet taken place-0, least
in a f •rn,al and a% owed manne,.
The ace bunts kom Vienna do not confirm the personal
sece,sion of Alexander, although the private letters received
from thence deafly indicate that there is a species of mental
sore,„ion on the part of that monarch.
_ _

r!e cause as we have before stated is said to be a dif-
ference on the subject of Poland. The Grand Duke Con-
staiitine is on the Polls!) frontiers, endeavouring, and, we ap-
prehend that success witl attend him, to raise a Polish ;limy.
The accounts from Warsaw state that the public monies at
tba capital are levied on account of the ncwGover_nment.
On lie ether hand Saxony appears to have excited stir!)
an intrrest as to have procured a prolongation to its political
cxisr:nc.,

On the subject of Bavaria, \Virtemberg, &c. we can learn
nothing decisive; while we are given to understand that the
Comtress is to continue its Sittitl2S till March, in order that
the t.:l'l. • f key may be decided ;in short, once rendered
60),p, view to the views of the preponderating Powers, it offers
a fair field for partition. Servia is said to be in a state of
surrection, and Czernv Georges is in Russia. The troops of
A lexa,.der are on !he Prtith and every circumstance indicates
that Russia will have a large share of the spoil.
Papers up to Wednesday last were received yester-
day. There are articles in them from Vienna to the Inth
it lu-ive Preparations had been made for the departure of j
the foreign Monarchs from Vienna, but they were on a sud-
den
countermanded, and it is now said they will remain at
Vietim till the end of January. They have almost all been
indis,osed—first, the Emperor of Russia, then the King of
Pross'a, and the king of Wirtemberg. On the 6th the
Emperor •of Russia was present at a grand ball given by
Count Rasonmousky, in honour of the fete of the Grand
D ehess Constantine; but the Emperor and Empress of
Austria were not there ; and it has been declared that they
will nGt honour with their presence any more balls given by
pritate Fersons. Front this absence of the Emperor of
Austria front a ball given by a Russian General in honour of
a Russian Princess, some persons will infer that a coolness
e- - between the two Imperial Courts. It is possible, too,
that the indispotition of the ditierent Monarchs may be im-
puted to political causes. We' should fatigue the patience
of our readerf, as well as our own, if we were to dwell on the
ditfecent conjectures and speculatious hazarded in the Vienna
articles. it is' said, that on the 28th ult. and I t instant,

THE UN I I'ED STATES.

The accounts from thence tell us of immense preparations
of war. These will all end in smoke. The people of New
England will not consent to a conscription, tior are they able
to raise money fur any thing like war upon a scale so extend-
ed. The proof of this circumstance is to be found in their
Custom-house revenue, that has sunk from 15 millions to
11 million of dollars. The property of 160 persons has
been advertized for sale in one district, fur default in the
payment of taxes, to which the Government have proposed
an addition of 50 per rent.
In the mean time Mr. Madison seems to remain in a state
of stupid infatuation, and perfectly unaware of the storm
gathering and about to burst over his head. His obstinacy
is astonishing, and we find a strong proof of it in his official
paper, which has given us a statement of the probable result
of the next election. Of numbers of voters we know him to
have a majority, as great as the superiority which the minority
possess in property and influence, if they a e properly used
and exerted.

The Convention at Uartford was to meet the 15th of
this month, and we have only► to reiterate our former opinion,

nearly related to the mper'al family of Russia, is supposed
to have been instigated by the Emperor of Russia.
Three plans are said to have, been proposed by Russia and
Prussia relative to Saxony. One the cession of the king.
dom to Prussia; second, a change in the dynasty, and the
detaching of some of the provinces ; thirdly, the continuing
the title in the present.king, hut giving him only a territory
containing about 700 or 800,000 souls. The first is the
only plan that sound policy recommends. But all these
statements deserve to be received with great doubt and cau-
tion.

VIENNA, DEC. g.-With respect to the Congress it ap-
pears from every thing that we learn, that those who an-
nounce the pecise day when it will close, deceive them-
selves and others. The Ministers themselves are as igno-
taut as the public when they shall het through the immense
macs that lies upon their hands. Hitherto it %sas hoped that
the world would learn the results at Christmas or New Year,
but now we would gladly compound for Easter. The Mo-
narchs who formerly appeared almost daily in public have
lived very retired for sonic time past ; only the Kings of
Prussia and Denmark continue to visit the public eqablish-
ments and appear in the promenades, without being restrain-
ed by the unfavourable weather. •
An article from the Neapolitan frontiers announces that
the Neaoolitan army is about to advance, and that the King
of Naples will quit Naples for the purpose of taking the com-
mand of it on the sth January. This movement is supposed
to be concerted with the Austrian Government.

well known—by none, perhaps, more so thaii by the elo-

it were better to go on with the original union, imperfect
as it was :—if this was not possible, then to adopt a more
perfect form. There is a speech of his on this subject re-

Leipsic, the witness of his former triumph, now beheld the
dreadful conflict, which, after two days of balanced success.
terminated in his overthrow. Abandoned by the troops of
his vassals during the.taction, he saw their guns turned against

a'ters awaited him, and he learnt that the "
of his " sacred territory" bad been exploded in the west,
and that the English, Portuguese, aml Spanish colours
waved in triumph on the banks of the Nive. In Italy, his
affairs wore an equally dark aspect. Dalmatia, Istria, Car-

THE BASIS.

We have the power of laying before the public the gene-
ral Basis which was proposed to BUON AP A RTE through M.
de Sr. AGN AN, in his conference with Prince MET rEte,
N ICH and Count NrSELRODE.

The indipendenre by sea and land of all the co►rntries and
states politically known at the beginning of the French Reco-

lu/ion.

BUON A r A tvr, r, in a long letter accepted this general basis.
But in this letter there was a good deal of which
prot:ticed a dispatch from Prioce Mort. ERN IC The cor •
respondence ceased soon afterwards, and the Allies lin-
medimely passed the Rhine.
NVe expect to announce in a few days the departure of
one of the Princes of the House of Bourbon, MoNsi MYR, for
the Continent. It was reported last night that French Depu-
ties bad artived with offers to Louis XVIII. We doubt
this report. One Nobleman, however, we believe, has apt
rived.

We have the satisfaction of being able to state, upon good.

That the Emperor of Austria hds declared, that no objection.,
exists, on his part, to the restoralion of the Bourbons.
He would not attempt to force them upon the people by
arms, but he would not offer any opposition to the wishes,
and efforts of France fur that great, desirable, and on the.
part of the French, we may add, desired object. (Cuurier. )

RETROSPEcT OF THE YEAR.
(Concluded from or last.)

The accession of Austria to the confederacy seemed a blow
unexpected by N A POL EON. Tie had relied too far on her in-
decision and on the ascendancy of his influence, to think it
rossible that she should ever dare to emerge from her po
litical timidity and renounce the connexion contracted
with his family. Hence all his plans were frustrated when
she took the field. Instead of being able to finish the con•
quest of Silesia, and penetrate into Poland, be found his
rear -threafened and turned by the grand-army of the coales-
ced Powers. The spirit of his enemies, rekindled by the
British triumphs at Vittoria and on the borders" of France,
slow blazed with unconquerable ardour. Their councils
were' guided by the genius and experience of the hero of
Holaenlinden, who now led the armies, by whose defeats be
had acquired his mili.aty fame, against him for whom he had
then conquered. Patriotic enthusiasm, supplied in the Land-
sturrn the want of veteran skill, and on every side, instead of
tamely awaiting his attacks, the Allies rushed with eagerness
tip the fight. His force was still powe:fil, but divided,
and want f fidelity soon revealed itself among his troops.
The desertion of superior officers alarmed him and betrayed
Lis designs. It was thus dial his attempts to occupy Breslaw
and Berlin wete defeated by the dispositions of the Allies,
and his fate neatly sealed by their unexpected advance to
Dresden in his rear. Though repelled with less from before
the walls of that city, through the prodigious activity and
eNertions of their opronent, and though their repulse Was
emhittered by the fall of their experienced leaaer, the gal.
lant .?11'.'RE A u, the Coalesced Powers had sti uck a (lead! v blow
at the fortunes of :he French Desfert. In vain did he en-

deavour by obstinacy to recover the advantages he had lost.
All his efforts dgainst Silesia and Berlin terminated in dis-
grace anti disaster, and only served tc augment the glory of
the CROWS Pntscr General BL CC II I:R. Defraigd at
every point, his armies fell back to the Elbe, which their
pursuers crossed iifoie them. A who!e corps was destroyed
or c2.ptured will its commander amidst the mountains of Bo-
liemia,and the rest,confined to the neighbourhood of Dresden,
lost in suspense and usele-s demonstrations that time which
would have secured its retrelt to the !thine. The Allies who
continued to advance on the flanks of the enemy, at last
began to close in his rear. All communication with France
wai interrupted, and N Pot. CON'S VaSOS now hopeless, of his
ever surmounting his difficulties, ant dreading to be
involved in his ruin, hastened to abandon his cause, and to

FRENCII PAPERS.

Pants, Auc. 26.—For a long time the celebration of the fete of
St. Louis has not been Antlered to take place. 'this august name
remiiids us of the most brilliant epochs of oar history. What
Fienchnian does not feel his heart
.beat at the recollection of St.
Louis, who was mat destined to. be the last Martyr of his race : at
the recollection of Louis XII. the father of his people; of Loins
XIV. the pride of France; of Louis XV. under whose reign the
arts and sciences flourished with such eclat ; or finally, at the name
of Louis XVIII. whose return to the throne of his ancestors is to all
Frenchmen the pledge of peace and happiness.
Thus, we cannot too often repeat, that the Fete of St. Louis was
celebrated yeah rday at Paris, like the birth day of the father of the
great family. At the Opera, Pelaga, or Le Rol et la Puix, was re-
presented gratis; and at Feydean, Les Heritiers was per.,
formed. The alliNons presentei by these two pieces were eagerly
seized by the audience, which on this occasion was really formed by
the people. Tartare was represented at the Theatre Fiancais. On

SPANISH AMERICA.

The events which, in rapid succession, are occurring
in Spain, have, within the last week, excited a great de-
gree of interest for the miseries and misfortunes of Spa-

nish America. In our last, we gave, in anticipation, a
short outline of what is likely to happen in the Peninsula,
and the news since arrived from thence has tended to con-
firm many of. our positions. Spain, at this moment, pre-
e ►ts a melancholy picture of want and dissatisfaction;
which an unpopular government is little suited to remove.
Tit . absence of an enemy has, in fact, left Spain a prey to
anarchy, intrigue, and machinations : and an empty trea-
sury has added to the flame of discontent which is wittily,
though secretly, enkindling. Spain has be,nr depeved of
the best of her resources, those she might have derived
from her sister provinces on the other side of the Atlantic,
by a train of impolitic acts committed by th!, successive
governments which replaced the King's autl/4ority during
his absence, acts which his return has by no means made
amends for.

However, amongst all the lamentable aberrations from
principle, which a (sell constituted mind may regret in the
political situation of Spain) perhaps the odium attached
to the British name is the most prominent. That all our
exertions, sacrifices, and loses, should not have secured
to us at least the gratitude and well wishes of our Allies
and late companions in arms, is a problem difficult to
solve. It is, nevertheless, a fact; nor since th:, ►eturn of
Ferdinand, has one cordial demonstration been made to
she w that we are better thought of than if we had never
lost a life in the salvation of the Peninsula. It is only
evident to him who is on the spot, how far this odium
extending, and how bitter it is in its appearance. Spain
is only temporising with us, for the sake of what she calls
her colonies; that is, because she dreads our influence
may sever them from her ; but what a feeble link is this to
