while the Cabinet of Austria- giyee assurance;, and

• lumnies, and libels, continues to ..cliSeeminate dise
quietude among peaceable people.
..... The. affairs of Spain are irrevocably fixed and
acknowledged by the Great Powers of the Centinept.
. "Tf we have been deceived in the hope of Concluding
that people to a better order of things without disa
turbance, without disorder, without war, it is a
• vialory which the genies 'of evil has gained over the
spirit of good. It will, however, in the end be only
fatal to England and her partisans. These truths are
evident, and there is not a man of sense in London
who is not convinced of them. ' lArhet can we think
pf the , policy and reason of that.',Cabinet,
.which,
having excited Sweden against Russia, expeeted to
support her by an expedition of 'aaeo men ? While
it shall only be required to celumniate, to sedece, 'to.
suborn, England will 'have the advantage; but the
leopard, when he shall see the eagle penile him in
view, will feel the land fly from under his feet, and
find no refuge but on the waves, and in the element
of tempests.
Peace is the wish of the universe. The events
. which have changed the face of the world since
• the reptisre of the Peace of Amiens, are to be at-
tributed to the rupture of that peace. The events
so unfavourable to Englande that have occurred Since
the:death of Fox, are to, be attributed to his death,
. and the inptere of the negotiations. The changes
that have taken place in Eueope since the peace of
Tilsit, are to be attributed to the refusal of the me=
diction of Bessie. What .may yet happen on the
Contiiieet contrary to the greatness and interest of
England, if peace does. not take place, will' be tie
be attributed'to that fodlish obstinacy, to. that blind
. and ' furious policy, which, notwithstanding the
union of great powers, places all its hopes in
dreams of, an 'impossible diiision, :and a 'renewal
of coalitioni, which can only exist against -fiee.elf:
We ma ' here justly apply the maxim of Cicero,
" that the most political conduct is,that which is
Most cenformable to justice." - The continuation of
the Pgace of Amiens would have left Europe in the
state in which it Was • the' Peace which' Foie wished
would have prevented the ruin- of Prusiia; and the
occispatipn of the cities of the North. 'The actept-
ance of the Mediation of Russia would have prevented
the preseot state of affairs in the Balticand in Spain;
and if peace is not made within the year, who can
foretel the events contrary to the interests of Enge
land which` may occur before the year ela'pses. -

Quit Plymouth Letter contains an account of a
most gallant action in the Adriatic, between the
Seahorse, of 38 guns, and a Turkish Squadron,
consisting of a5O gun-ship and two large Frigates,
which had been sent out for the purpose of taking
the Seahorse. One of the ITrigates was sunk, and
the 50 gun-ship taken, after' having above 500
of her Crew killed and wounded. The other Frigate
made her escape. This action is alluded to in the
Foreign Papers, in an article from Constantinople.

the Moniteur states, in a Note on a Paragraph in
the London Papers, that the French armies in Spain
have from weakness and want of courage " sus- '
tained.soine checks." The names of the Generals
who have manifested this want of courage are not
mentioned, but we may suppose that the censure
applies to all those who have been defeated, that !o
to say, every French General in Spain : DUPOIITy
M°NCEY, LEFEBVRE, and even King JOACHIM WEl-
seff, who, as well as King JOSEPH, owed his
safety only to the rapidity of his flight:-
