The inbahitants'.have not recovered from their

which. surprized them the most, the fine appeaT-

was in effect a great difference between %chat they
saw and what was related to them, of The physi-
cal mimerical weakness of the French battalions.
We will immediately give some details respect-..,

pains they take At) subvert every vestige of it,
wherever they go ; till all the world might
be reduced to the mental darltneiss `oAince, and
the grind work of barbarizing and'etAtiviag man-
kind be carried on without the hindrance of know-
lege and information.
A report of the enemy having again evacuated
this place is iu circulation, but \re know not On
what grounds. The Journals hostile to Govern-
ment have made its capture a subject of much
heroic declaniatiOn and mock' sentiment, but
tin gcomicis,, too flimsy to .deceive even the
igtioritt.- However much our personal feelings
arse interested, and however sincerely we regret
that the fate of war should expose those for whom
our atfectiOns are warm, to peril ; yet when the
great objects in
.view require the painful sacrifice,
in order to arrive at a groat and permanent good,
we must zonsent, :flowerer reluctantly, to its
being made,- and look through the cloud of the
hour to the sunshine that brightens the distant
horizon.

It is said that Paris Papers to the Ist inst. are in
owa, but bring nothing of intelligence from the
seat of war. This looks well.

In the absence of recent intelligence from the
Ctintincnt. and that too at a moment more inte.

resting and big with event than any which lives
in our memory, it may not, perhaps, be altoge-
ther useless to take a view of the state and ob.

vions policy of the great balancing power
in Europe—Austria; and thence draw a con-
clusion of the probable course that may be
taken by the Cabinet of Vienna in the awful eon-

flict now raging. It may be necessary to premise
that the known poverty and distress of the Au-
strian treasury must have rendered it very difflenitfor

Olt power"to take an active part in the waf On-tha
extensive scale which her rank among the nations

. -
Europe renders necessary. Exhausted by a continu
ance of expensive contests in order to confine the
overgrown dominion of BUONAPARTE Within equal
limits, co•existent with the safety and indepen•
dance of other countries, the at length sunk in
weakness and langour into the arms a ,her too

powirful adversary. 1 y him she was stript'of her
deareut territories—ber most faithful and brave
subjects were butchered for their loyalty and at-

tachment,.64he wu shut out from the ocean,
which her oppressor would make free and sub-
ject only to his own rule-a,and thus
" Cabin% critait'd, confiasd"7-.
her greatest degradation remained to be enacted,
and she was compelled to link the ancient House
of her Sovereign to the upstart dynasty of NAPO.
utoN, and sacrifice a Princess of the highest Oer.
man lineage to the son of a Corsican attorney.
That Austria does not continue sorely to feet these
wrongs is Out of human calculation, and this hateful
marriage can never have the effect of detaching
her from the policy of a century, to embrace the
servile station of a secondary, dependent upon that
Power of which she has hitherto been; and is the
natural rival and opponent. To use their own
words, the predominance of France denationalizes
Austria---and of this Austria is most feelingly sen-
siblc. Again, were Russia to preponderate too
much in the balance, Austria would still.he a suf-
ferer to a certain extent—for it is her interest
that neither of these great Empires should attain
that overwhelming superiority which threatens
destruction, to every. coutipous State. But • her
danger from an accumulation of power in Rus-
sia is remote and insignificant, when compared
to the peril she has to dread from the continuance
of the overwhelming mastery•of France. Neither
'has she suffered wrongs anti spoliations from the
former, as she has severely endured from the r*
vicious ambition of the latter.
Titus circumstanced we put British feelings
aed opinions as much front us as we possibly can),
Ole distinct and natural line of policy to be pur.;
stied by Austria, was not to declare herself too
early in this campaign ; and in this she must have
been further, confirmed by the state of her
finances, as alteady mentioned. lay keeping back,
she became, asshe is at. this hoer, the arbiti eS3 of
the fate of Europe. The weakness of both the
combatants is her strength—hot thii is a policy
that must not be carried two far—for Auitria and
Prussia have already.experienced its fatality.,
Relinquishing it therefore at the critical
point (as now) she may confound 1/I.IAAPARTU,
or, as the pride of mere neutrality, extort
from his unwilling grasp every nefe pf land,
and every soul of population which he has
wrung froM. her distresses, nor can we believe
tier counsclS to be so blind to futurity as to
eunies4, even for this great bribe, (which will re
store to her the Adriatic and the Tyrol) to unite
her force to that of therry,ant for the overtheow of

the tounterpoise in the North, so vitally necespiry
trotter own security hereafter.
From this view it appears, that the affections,
the interests, and the just principles of self-pre-
servation, alike tend to dispose Austria to the side
of the Allies. By espousing their cause, (for
which this is the. most favourable crisis), she
stoulti only be returning to her original and
:natural, national system of policy, from which
she has been watVed by the pressure ot the
times, or drawn by the strong arm of an
Oppessor. All the matters, and rumours,
and statements of opinions which we have latterly
been enabled to collect front the Continent serve
to confirm our mind in the conviction that this is
the course which she is adopting, if she has not
already entered upon it. We hear of the re-occupa-
tion of Fiume and Trieste-7!of the negociation for'
new and large loans at Vienna--‘of the establishment
of great armies on different points, from the local
situation of which it is evident that the object of
these assemblages is not hostile to the Allies. We
have also the encouraging fact of Count STADION 4's
residence at the head-quarters of the Emperor of
RussiA and the King of Paussta, from which
circumstance we draw cheering conclusions,
for , STatmots is the political organ of 'that
Party in the Austrian 'Cabinet, most friendly
to the Common Cause. It is true, COMA ME-
. •
Teatmit retrains at .the head of that Cabinet,
and us het has presided (hiring the period
of amity with BLIONAPARTP, We cannot consider
the politics of the. ii;inperor Funnels to be com-
pletely restored without hearing of his removal ;
especially at. the estal es and property belonging to
himself and family are within the gripe of the rry-
rantin the Low Countries and Swabia.
•But still
the indications of an approaching return to the
old and beneficial system far overbalance the
Symptoms of adherence to the' Code NAPOLEON,
mid we therefore look with some confidence to
the final decision of Austria in this most impor-
tant state of affairs, a decision whielt,',we trust,
will be more efficient than NEUTRALITY.
It has been reported, that the mission of Count
BUENA had for its object to procure the limita-
tion of the boundaries of France within that ex-
tent which would not only be consistent with the
integrity and strength of that mighty empire, but
also with the safety and independ.nice of Europe;
and that it was intimated to BUONAPARTE,
that if he• would not consent to this propo-
sition within a given time, the consequence
wotdd be • to cause the coalition of Astsiria
with the Allies for the purpose ot enforcing a right
State of things, and restoring the balance of
urope. On the other baud, his compliance
was to have been rewarded by a yecogaition
of his sovereignty in France. It is added,
that the rage of BUONAPARTE was intoler-
ables—that he shut himself Up for two days,
front: the lath to the . 18th, and, tin issai
from his den resolved on the enterprize he has en-
deavoured to effect .(thank God ! in vain) —the
destruction. of the Allied Armies at one great
and r decisive blow, which would reduce them
to sue for mercy, and paralyse the incipient
operations of Austria. Bautzen and Wurtchcn
have defeated this desperate attempt, and -Vous-
premises are correct) have placed NAPOLEON in a
situation of as great difficulty and danger, as he
encountered in his flight from Moscow. The
rumour of his return to Dresden, corroborates
these pleasing speculations, and we trust the next
intelligence we receive, will enable us to communi-
cate a record . of- events which will inspire the
beat grounded expet.tation of the speedy deliver-
ance of the. world from the tyranny and oppress-
sion—frotn the misery and bloodshed under which
t has so long and so dreadfully suffered.
