FROM THE ARGUS, SATURDAY, OCT. 4.

" The capture of Buenos Ayres is an event which
was not to be expe&ed upon comparing the mili-
tary strength and the population of that Colony
with the feebleness of the English Squadron : the
conquest of French 'Colonies is a dearer achieve-
ment. But as to the others, the successes of this
kind have so amazingly multiplied in this War
and the last, that it will soon be sufficient for
the Admiralty to send notice to a. Colony that it is
in a slate of capture, as they notify that a port is in
a state of blockade. It is not less singular to ob-
serve, that this conquest, to which they attach so
much importance at London, is hardly perceived on
the Continent. The invasion of a German village
makes more sensation here than the conquest of a
Kingdom in Asia. England has reduced the Euro•
-
pean Princes to behold her greatness with indiffe-
rence ; she has eternally occupied' them with ac-
cessory interests ; she has constantly kept up their
quarrels ; she has carefully ruined their induStry,
their navy and their trade. In the state of indif-
ference in which she keeps them in this respeti-,
she completes at full liberty her system ; 'she extends
.on all sides her EMpire ; without the other, Powers
even thinking of disputing it with her. - She makes
immense acquisitions almost' without drawing *her
sword ; and when she judges proper to give the world
a few moments of peace, she keeps the useful con-
quests, and returns only. ruined establishments.,
" England relaxed the rigours of her Maritime
Laws when she was apprehensive, that the Conti-
nental Powers might see .too clearly into her pre-
tensions, and might unite to 'escape her,monopoly;
—she made serve, concessions to Netitrals, when
her wlrehohscs were'glutted with goods which she
wished to get speedily rid of, or when her Colonies
were in want of the Neutrals to supply them with
subsistence. At present she seems to announce
that the Ad, of Navigation, is to be again resorted to
in all itsvigour—she regrets the sacrifices made to
necessity—she thinks she has sufficiently 'embroiled
"the Powers of the Continent with their own divi-
sions to be any longer in need of sparing them, and
to consummate the ruin of their people: , The heed-
lessness with which they see these enormous usur-
pations seems wonderfully strange upon being com-
pared with the restless uneasiness which they display
in all the atrairs of the Continent." •

The vulgar perceive nothing beyond the terri-
tory they inhabit; they are apt to look upon univer-
sal trade and immense calbnies as objeEts foreigrrto
the power of nations ; but the enlightened,man sees
that in the state of civilization which Europe has ar-
rived to, trade and the navy have a powerful influence
over the strength and prosperity of Empires. ,He
who disposes at his pleasure of the riches of India
and America, and who forces nations to receive the
prods Lions of his industry, really levies enormous
taxes upon them; he arbitrarily exercises what con-
stitutes sovereignty; and this empire is not so chi-
merical as some people May suppose.
". No doubt the political -existence of France pre-
sents a more solid and a more real power. Her
means are within herself,' and their , concentration
gives her an immenseadvantage; but we see in their
developement, neither the same . extension, nor the
sated inconveniencies, for the prosperity •of other
States. BefiAe the Revolution, l'i'ranee was the rival
of England, as to her Navy and her Trade.; she pos-
sessed the Colonies the richest in cultivation. She
lost both, and would have descended to the lowest
ratik of Powers, if, by the genius of her Prince, and
the courage of her. Armies, she had not acquired
'on the Continent • a compensation for the losses
she tiad sustained. The power 'of England, aug-
mented by an, immense Empire in India, by several
Colonies in America, by the Cape, the improvement
Of those she had before,.and the destruaion of her
rival Settlements,bring intothe political balance of
Europe such-a weight, that all the influence acquired
by France can hardly keep up the equilibrium. It
is, with :the riches of. both Indies that she purchases
European dikorders. The superiority of her Navy
would, he an irresistible advantage, if her population
were, at the rate Of her ambitious designs,.or if only
she had ,completed the ColOnial COnquests which
she still'meditates, and even over her ancient Allies.
She endeavours to turn aside the looks of other
Powers, by sowing among them apprehensions upon
the views of France. But upon comparing the use
they have both made of their strength, it will
be found that she is the most to be dreaded and the
most ambitious. On the other hand, we see that
France has conquered the half of Europe, and has
remained' within her limits; the States attached. to
her federate system might be united to .her; they
have remained separate, and will be independent
Powers. But all that England has conquered is de-
finitively annexed to her Empire. His BRITANNIC
MAJESTY commands in Indostan as he does in Ire-
land. He has not contented himself with organizing
"new States, nor with making Allies of them. France
has often seemed to fight for foreign- interest, but
England has always made war for her own account;
and has dire&ly appropriated to herself all the pro-
fits of it. In fine, in the state to which she has re-
duced the Navy. and Trade of other Nations, it is
happy that the energy of a single one 'should have
preserved the counterpoise which the blindness of
several Sovereigns tended to destroy."

FROM THE PUBLICISTS OF SEPTEMBER 27.

"The KING of PRUSSIA is one of the honestest
men of his Court. Be is well aware of the true'in,.
terests of his Country : he. !oyes and desireS Peace
with prance; but unfortunately among those who
dirta its,-affairs, it is not him who possesses the
most weight. M. Dc HAMGWITZ wishes for Peace
with ,France, buthe wants energy of mind to resist
his adversaries. M. 1,01111A.R11 also wishes tar•
he 4 too enlightened not to see the dangers

of a aange system ; "butliis-tftdit is limited, of
cause his funaitms are only -exercised direelly with
the King. The Duke of BatriCSWICK, General
MOLLENtkORFF, and many other Generals. are anxi-
ous for Peace, but they do not ge their wishes
in a
.proportionate degree to their inclinations.=,
These men, such as we have describe_!them, havd
DO weight whatsoever:

" We have been tempted in this view of things
to ask.of our Travellers, who then in Prussia wants .
to go to War ? We mast, replies he; in the first place,
put at the head of the War Faclion the Queen, an
amiable, and even a beautiful woman, but light arid
inconsiderate, who thinks herself much more cle-
ver than her husband, and who is urged on .in her
obje&s, by, her relations, and perhaps by her attach-
meat to Russia. Almost all the Ladies of the Court
are in a delirium at the recolleCtion of the Emperor
ALEXANDER ; and, animated by the - example of
their Queen, are ardent upon the -subje& of War.
" Vvre must flso take into -the account the young__
military men, who, wearied of their insignificance,
and discontented with their wretched pay, hope
every thing from the ,fortune of War. Let the
Party of England also not be forgotten, which the
misunderstanding between the two Countries lies
not
,prevented from making its way into the mid- -
dling,circles, and almost -universally throughout the
Country.
" This information, if corre6t, gives room for some
observations. What personage in France was the
first cause of the Revolution ? What-other at. Naples .
has just been, the cause of the ruin of her House?
What other, in fine, at London, is the principal cause
'of the continuation .of the War ?—This inconstant -
and' light sex, as 'capable -of prepossessions' and
passions as they are little susceptible of calculation,
do not see the abyss before they be on the brink of •
it : then they weep, they sigh : but, in political con-
tests, tears are feeble arms. If,, as our traveller
atfirms, the Queen of Pflussta, be at the head Of-
the War Party, we fear we may foretell that her fine
eyes will shortly melt into tears.
• " Such then is the spe&aele which Prussia eXhi-,
bits—a Queen, young, and handsome, who onglit to
be an angel of conciliation an of peace, is an agent
of discord and of war:--a King,-replete with w:s,:lOtri
and probity, does not display theTt:soluthin of a ittthil.
narch—an enlightened Prime Ailinster. is a -SerV,llit
destitute of courtge. -In fine, a pw.vertnl Monarch.y
