Pants, Attu 30.-41 is not fOr us to endeavour to
penetrate in►o the consequences ofa day so fertile in
political results as that of the Battle ofyriedland—but
whatever tnay be the ideas of that genius which , has
4oubtless already conceived them, it is no longer in
the power of his enemie§ to prevent them.
.The
ascendancy of the Confederacy. formed under the
auspices of France is.. henceforward inconte'stible.—
If the Emperor of Russia and his fjeble Allies per-
sist in making war, it can only be a series of losses.
and sacrifices tor.them. The general fitte 01 Europe
is wit: less fixed. Re the determination of the Em-
peror NAPOLEON what it'will, he is able to raise an
insurmountable barrier against the projeEts of Rus-
sian ambition ; he possesses all the means of area-
ing the change.‘s nece.sary fOr the repose of &trope,
and generously to indemnify this Sovereigns who
sincerely wish to accelerate that happy period. The
victory of-Friedland is the denouement of that po-
litical tragedy so often renewed 'wFainst France by
Eogland. The. British GoVernment Itas irrecoverably
Jost the blooci-stained clue of Coalitions..

It will he asked with less anxiety than curiosity,
what will be the lot of the King ot. Prussia, the whole
of whose dominions will, in a tew 'clays, be in the
possession of the French ? We shall not undertake
here to discuss either the generous proposals which
may 1 ave been made him, nor the inipindent re-
filiais by which they were succeeded. Before the
battle of Friedland, he might still appear to possess
something to place in -the diplomatic balance; he
.was-still King of u (OW-:PrOvitiees, and,O•the relics
of an Army. As tong as Russia and 'Egagland left
hint any hopes, he might have had some merit in
sacrificing them to his security ; but nowwthat be
is stripped of every resource, all that lie way' preseri,e
must be a boon of the magnanimity of the Eatiperor
of the Freneh.
The tnost important consequence of this battle is,
the complete diSsipation of that imaginary
military'
Pert'liglory which 'rendered the Russians formida-
ble to all nations. The fall of the Hyperborean Co-
lossus will resound to the extremeties of the earth.
It will be, heard by the Persians i the Turks will re-
ply to it with'shouts of joy and viEtery ; and if it
were possible for them to obtain any transient suc-
cesses in those quarters, they would only 'expoSe
themielves to an inunediate.repetition of that dread-
ful lesson which they have just received from the
French.
This whole campaign has clearly demonstrated
,
that the Russians cannot Stand against an army
headed by a chief worthy to eoriunand ii.. s They
have nothing to allege which can palliate' their de-
feat or•dispute that superiority. All their besttroops
and ablestofficers had been seleded, called foith,

eight months, ,c)ii their own frontiers. The RUicfall
