Body tivasitt least. represented there, by i"eputies
. .
of their ,OW'ri choice and' legally elefted : those
Deputies could there at least discuss the interests'
which were entrusted to their care : they had at
least a voice in •the sacrifices which they made,
and which were ostensibly. their .own a&s. In a
ward, the Treat► of Campo Forma left the
Empire if not integral in territory, at least so in
its federal rights and in its political independence.
Every one must be sensible that by the Treaty of
Lunnv;//e both these are destrovtd. The Empire
will henceforth be merely a field of plunder, for
which France, Austria, Prussia, the Grand Duke
of Tuscany and the Duke of Modena will con-
tend, and divide. What adds to the singularity
of this Pacification, and stamps it with a double
character. of injustice is, that the two Princes
dispossessed in Italy, and those who are so on
the left bank of the Rhine, are to be indemnified
from the body of the Empire itself, that is to
say, at the expence of some other lawful Princes
or Governments. In vain should we look for any
equity or any general advantage to be derived
from their. substituting spoils in the 'room of
spoils, or endeavour to foresee to what end this
system of
jappparent justice, but of real injustice,
is to lead.

The difference between the Treaty of Campo
Formic; and that of. benc-v. With respth to
Italy, is not less important and fatal than with
respecl to Germany. When the EMPEROR made,
in 1797, a sacrifice of his antient possessions in
/tidy, he saw, at least, Tuscany preserved in his
family, and his influence maintained at Naples,
the 'existence of which he had secured. Of both
these advantages he is now deprived, and the.
KING of SARDINIA no longer stands, as in 1797,
an intermediate Power between France and
Austria. -There- is no longer any Princeor 'Go-
vernment remaining in Italy, whose interests are
not forcibly separated from his own, anti he sees
the Territory' and Coasts of that Couiifry entirely
at the mercy of those whoa short time ago were
his Enemies, and whom; notwithstanding the
ecvlusion of a Peace; he must be •far fromeonsi.
dering aS his frintls; Nothing can prove more
strongly'-.the' cimporglitY of the ' political system
of the French-Government than this violent trans.
fer of the Sovereignty .of Tuscany; The Prince
who governed that Country was the first to ac-
knowledge and'io treat with the French Repub-
lic. I-Ie has never done otherwise than respe&
it, both in matters which regarded its interests,
and in the persons of its Agents. He nev:3.
joined his Troops to those of the ENIPEROR,
not even at .the moment when the latter were,
gaining Vklories which appeared to decide
for ever the fate of Italy. He had, in a, word,
observed the stridest Neutrality, and had
even more than once given Europe grounds to
accuse him_ for the passive Manner in which he
endured the vexations and the outrages of the
French. Yet this very prince is, with the dash
ola pen, despoiled of his legitimate Sovereigoty,
comprehending the finest part of Europe, and the
People 'of the most intitesting cheraelet for their
pacific habits and their love of the Arts. No-
thing, can prove more strongly than that
Pa. /7/thi! is the principle which has
,diftated
the Treaty of Luneuille : no more severe lesson
has been given to.the Princes •who.have survived
the tempest of the ..Revolution,,,ind nothing is
better calculated tb afford them a warning not to
trust to the deceitful calm Which succeeds it.

Yesterday a Board was to have been held at
the Treasury, at which Mr. PITT was to have
presided for the last time ; but, on account of his
being particularly engaged in other important
business, it was pur oil till this day.
It was expe&ed that Mr. PITT would-have re_
sighed the Seals as this day, but the multiplicity
of business which he has to transata Will probably
delay his resignation.
