known that PAUL carried the piAtire of BONAPARTE
on a snuff box. The "noble procedure of the Chief
Consul completely gained heart. The British
Government had ref Used to give up French priso-
ners in exchange for "the Russians taken in Holland;
The Chief Consul immediately .resolved to send
them back to Russia without ransom, - clothed and
armed, together with those that had been taken in
Switzerland. PAUL, sensible of this aOion, sent a
General Officer to' France to receive and bring back
the prisoners. M. DE SPRENCPORTEN was soon
followed by M. DE KALITCH'E w, &retied not only
to re-establish Peace, but to unite the two Coun.
tries by an offensive and defensive Alliance.
" The Republic, in losing, by the death of PAUL,
a powerful Ally, became only more ACtive in attack-
ing her Enemy. Portugal, long dependent upon
England, furnished her, by operiing her Ports, and
aCling in concert with her,, the means of injuring
France and her Allies.-Several times was the Court
of Lisbon invited to make peace ; but though she
was defenceless, she: was not permitted to accept of
the invitation. After a .shortleampaign, in which
the French took no part, but by the terror which
their approach occasioned, the Court of Lisbon was
obliged to accept Peace on such conditions as
Fra c.: and Spain chose to impose.

At the time that the French Government was
shutting out the English from a Country the' most
useful to their Commerce, it threatened them with
an invasion, and obliged them to think of their own
defence. By their insular position, the English re-
moved from the theatre of war, are accustomed -to
consider it as the means of increasing their. riches
and their power. There is an opinion, that every
Enemy who have been able_ to land in England,
have made a conquest of the Island. To dissipate
these alarms, the British Government,
_not content
with covering the Channel with their ships, and the
Coast with troops, have attacked the armaments of
the French and their AllieS. They have entrusted
these importaritexpeditionslo their first Naval Cott.
mander ; but the success has neither answered the
hopes nor the promises of the fortunate NELSON.
" Twice repulsed with loss in an Attack upon
the Flotilla at Boulogne, he attributed his ill.
success to ;he darkness of the night, and to the
tide, as 'if he could not have foreseen it ; and he
invented the story of the French vessels being
chained to the shore. NELSON also reconnoitred
the Dutch SquadronS, but did not think -it adviseable
to attack them. The Alion of Algesiras, where
the brave LEWIS, with inferior forces, defeated
the English, pro'ves that the French can fight their
implacable Enemy upon their own element.

" Such are the events of the War during the
course of the 9th year. The French Government,
in preparing to continue the War with vigour, was
still animated by a sincere desire of pacifying the
world, and has not ceased to make the most mode.
rate and conciliating overtures.. They would soon
arrive at this end, if the British Ministry was ac-
tuated by the same sentiments, and 'their preten-
sions did not increase, as usual, with their 'success.
They cannot, however, we believe, long reject a
Peace, when it is considered that they can no
longer hope to find auxiliaries in the: 7rcrior of
France, nor expert to form anew Coalitic against
her. Even the success of England, and th,.=;,N.,..Y
which she has imposed on the. Northera:29wers,
are likely to indispose them against-her, ana-.5--
alarm them with respeft to her ambition. On the
contrary, the wise and just policy of the, French
Government, has conciliated the Powers which the
Revohition had alienated, and haS drawn others to
it in closer connedion.—A Treaty, equally advan-
tageous to both Nations, has re-established the goOd
intelligence between France and America.—Sweden,
which was long the Ally of France, appears dis 7
posed to renew its former relations.—Denmark,
though eonneEled by interest and habit with Eng-
land, cannot easily forget the late aggression of the
latter.—Prussia, which had joined the Northern
Confederacy, and which still retains posse.; of
Hanover, is more than ever conneeled with France,
from the interest she has in obtaining Indemnities
in Germany. Even the Powers which the English
Government had coalesced, now find that their in-
terests are identified with those of France, and that
England is the enemy of their independence and
prosperity."
The summary concludes with a view of the inter-
nal situation of France. The most remarkable
event, it observes, which occurred in the interior,
was the attempt to assassinate BONAPAR j'E ; but
he was preserved by the "Genius of France."
The aft of high police, by which 130 persons were
sentenced to transportation, for engaging in such
an attempt,. is then justified ; and the British Go-
vernment is, as usual, accused of maintaining a
Corps of Assassins, not only in France, but in seve-
ral other Countries " If," says the Journalist
upon this subjea, " any further proofs be necessary
of the abominable policy of certain English gents,
they may be found in the Assassination of PAUL I,
direfted, according to all accounts, by an English
Colonel, previously announced in England, and
justified by the very men who had, for so many
years, been declaiming against Regicide. It is, in-
deed, remarkable, that this expression never has
been applied to the death of PAUL I."
The sequel of this view of the interior, points
out the beneficial dila% of the various measures
adopted by BoNAr ARTE for extinguishing political
and religious animosities, for the encouragement of
the arts and sciences, and every branch a commer-
cial and agricultural industry. 'rite Concordate
with the PPP s obtains its share of
.commendation;
and the Legislative Body and the Tribunate are par-
ticularly praised for their anxiety ", to avoid every
topic of discussion which might lead to a misunder-
standing between them and the Government."
