THURSDAY, JULY 27, 1809.

We have the satisfaaion of stating, that the First
Division of the Expedition sailed yesterday morning
from the Downs with a favourable -wind. Lord
CHATHAM had embarked on board the* flit/ad/4e.—
It was expelled that the second division would sail in-
the evening, as, it was only waiting for that palikof
the Expedition which was coming round from Ports-
mouth. a

Conquerors of Aspern and Essling,the next time f hey
want a crown for a nephew or a grandson of the At-
'f,Oiney of Ajaccio. Whatever may • be the coin-
plexihn and.the terms of the Peace, they will have
a better chance of being respected and observed, than,
Any of the past engagements of revolutionary France.
The conditions of the pacification will be criticised'
by Statesmen, but the history of the Campaign is the
property, and may be the safeguard of the world
It ought not to be inferred from these teflexions,
which we are not the masters to 'contain, at a, crisis
and an awful hour like the present, that we insinuate
the smallest suspicion or d i srespea towards the coun-
sels of our august and excellent Allies. Wc reason
upon the fads we posSess, and reserve our final opi-
nions for those documents upon which. alone we
could be justified in forming them: Under the pre-
sent circumstances,' and as far as Wesare, at ,prefent,
infortped,, our applause cannot be expeaed, and
would be both 'premature and misplaced: --but even
to suppose some error, some political or other pa-
nic, to have had a share in an event which We must
consider as unfortunate; which is both. unexpet*d,

. It could not' be expected that the intelligence
Whiell'arrived Yesterday, should produce no gloomy
impression on the public mind, and, during the first
moments' an impression even more gloomy than
would be warrantable, if it were to,endure. There
was-nothing in the 26th an?. 26th French Bulletins,-
even for those who placid 'credit in their veracity
and correaness, to prepare the mind' lot an Armis-
tice,, demanded and •purchased by the Austrians:
And even now, with these uolooked-for and Ire,
mendous events before' us, we_cannot find, even in
the information conveyed by the Enemy, any Just
and adeqUate motive for the disastrous and apparent-
ly degrading Consummation' of the War:
To consider the Armistice as any thing else.than
the adjustment and preliminaries,, and general ar-
rangement, for the treaty of definitive, peace,' were;
we fear, altogether absurd, after the beartbreaking,
sacrifices in the T 3 rol and the Voralberg, and in a
military point of view, by the cession of the three
fortresses, :and the evacuation of lines - and territory
by tie troops. It will still, 'hOWever, be permitted
us to 'observe, that-a definitive peaCe, (if withl3uotia-
PARTE any 'peace were definitive),_ concluded and
reguldtcd under the conditions of this Armistice,
would be farfrom redeeming the pledgiof that boast-
er. and, we should hope, far from satisfying the ex_
Pedations he has excited in France,-or from furnishing
that unhappy country with aay thing it Will deem
aq equivalent for the miseries of its,anticipatal Con-
Scriptions 'and sonless families, and-the torrents of
blood which have been sluiced from its vein's; only
r the aggrandisement of his odious and upstart
family ! If " the fate of the Austrian Monarchy
.has
I)l4en decided ;" if the lot of the House of Lok-
Ittuwe has been cast -by the Peace, of which this.
4rtbistice mu.it be taken for the outline, it will be
11 least soinething happier and lighter than was in-
tended and denounced; in a more sanguine momenf,
by the Pride and vindiaive vanity of BiIoNAPARTE!
It Will not have ceased to reign.. It will not add to
the number of -Crowned Exiles and fugitive Sove-
reigns, with the unrevenged cpeaacle of whose

which, in some shape or other, BuoNAPAard will

will be a kind of emancipation to the prostrate and
