ON THZ
PEACE BETWEEN RUSSIA. AND PRAY' OE!.

(Co ued front our Paper of Tuesday).
To understand the political systeM which iilu i.
result from a Treaty, it is previously necessary to
inquire into the objea; as well as the means set on
foot to obtain it.

To understand the respetlive situations" of the
Contrasting Powers at the moment of concluding.
the Treaty, it is also necesnry to inquire whether
it was the result of free deliberations, opened and
carried on by independent Powers, or whether it
was imposed on a vanquished State by the Conque-

ior ? 'This inquiry' is of the first importance, inas•
much as it enables us to judge, without committing

ourselves,' of the future.
The Power who makes a Treaty in consequence
of deliberate Negotiations, in which she has pre-
served .and manifested 11?.r independence, frames a
political law for herself. The Power who accepts
n'Treaty imposed on her by the Conqueror, receives
the law ; and it cannot escape us that situations
must essentially differ between those Powers who
form a law for thernselvo, and those who receive
it from others.

At Tilsit, Russia received the law from the Con-
queror : Russia was, it is true, mistress of all the
meant which ought to have secured her independ-
ence; her frontiers were untouched, her armies
numerous, her so:liers full of courage,' and of a
spirit equal .to their insuperable, constancy. All
this, indeed, is true ; but if Russia was independent,..
the Lmperor of Onssia was not: A 9 agonizing.
dread of the evils of war, united to his love far his
people,. dragged him to Tilsit : from that moment;
surrounded by a party-who eagerly sought to preci::,
Oitate him into all the, dangers of a peace, he no
longer made ihe law—he received it !
It remains for us to examine the Treaty of Tilsit :
and as this Treaty is: the work of BONAPARTE; fn.
Other words, is the law which he has imposed oa
Russia, that country, receiving.it, must be 'Ousi,'
tiered as absolutely passive.
Let it then be inquired, first—what was,Y3oNA
V491111'8 object in dietating this law'; and then---
whether the means developed in this Treaty:Will
eventually lead him ro the end iu ?
The obje& of BmsAPARTE is to subject the world
to his caprice :—to environ France with Powers
avowedly dependent ; to leave the rest of Europe in
Bitch a state of debasement and confusion- that it
may be in his power to introduce all the evils of
anarchy, and circa, at will, the destru&ion of the
Sovereigns whom he has set up, in order to substi-

tate. others according to his convenience or his hu-

•
mour
There is no tnethod more' etTeaual to establish
anarchy, and prepare the Seedi of political disselti-
;ion, than separating a People from their Chiefs
Two modes of doing this present themselves : the
first—lo tear'a nation from its legitithate Sovereign,
and sell or transfer it to an Usurper : the seconds--
to humble and disgrace a Monarch before the. 'eyes
of his Subjeets," by rendering him the instrument of
. foreign tyranpyi and thus compelling him to be,
1/4come at the same time the Objea of their con-
tempt and hatred. From this moment . anarchy is
established; and while such a state of things is suf7
fared to exist, he who introduced it is absolute
master of the. desiiaies of• the country thus cruelly
agitated.

One while he avails himself of the calamities
'which he has brought on thi. People; to irritate them
against their Sovereign,,., who could' find no better
mode of public defence than rendering .themselves
contemptible ! Another while he 'takes advantage
of the hatred of the People, to multiply the terrors
of the Kings whom he has degraded, and thus oblige
them to exasperate the evils already infli6ted on
them, by a thousand-odious' precautions suggested'
by their 'fears !
Thus Kings find themselc'eS without Subjeas,
and SubjeLtts without Kings : while both -.the pile,
and the other lie at the mercy of the Tymint whose
~outrages produce and perpetUate their calamities.
In this state of things,
.BONAPARTE, while dic-
tating a Treaty of Peace with Russia, had, and Could
have, .but' one object; .naMely, to render Russia an
agent in ti'e prosecution of hisdesigns, And to Sepa,
rate the Sovereign from his People, that he might
be enabled to sow, 'in the bosom of that Empire,
the aceursed.seeds of discord, anarchy, and eternal
revolutions-! •

To accomplish Ms purpose, it was necessary to
deceive.the Emperor,. and to endeavour to:degrade

him in the eyes of an energetic nation, full of cou
rage, and above all, of that stubbotin,andlnilexible
courage, which obstacles mai; irritate, but net•er
Subdue.

It was no less.necessary to force this gallant na-
tion to endure; in the person of-their Soveieigti,,tb
most anjett:butniliations, andi for this; end,, to disi-
grace.biiii in a avO-f-old-m,rtmer, first—by compel-
h4D w become an aceolitelicel ict 4ii.(le'AniCliccli

r i)j e seconctif-by bratiditig. Lim With 1114
friyndship, and, it, circumstances felnireci it, by his
alliance , y .

Such was -6Vidently the objed which BONAPARTE
hail iu .Conterriplation. Let us
.no‘tr examine 'the
Treaty; for we have yet to see whether the means
lead dirdialy'to the end in view.
If 13024APAET has been faithftil to his principlel,
and to the political
,system whith results front them,
the Treaty of Peace which he 'imposed on the Eat-
peror of Russia, at Tilsit, must, of cOunte, degrade
this Prince in the opinion of his Subjects, must
alienate, their affeBtions from him, and prepare, at
no remote period, the ruin of Europe; and the
anarchy and destruCticin of all thoSe EMpires in
which he has not hitherto found means to intli6t a
•
political death.
This Treaty, then, will naturally divide itself into
two kinds- of articles, disgraceful and destruCtive ;
the former having for,their obje& the person of the
EMperor ALEXASDER ; the latter, the Countries
which the Tyrant has condemned to inevitable poli-
tical ruin : to these may be added a few-others, com-
bining both the proposed objects, and pregnant with
an equal degree of danger and dishiMour.
.The Treaty contains twenty-nine Articks : the
first three, simply announing the cessation of hos •
tilities, present nothing extraordinary.
Article IV. dedares that BONAPARTE, "..041 Of te-,
Bard for the Emperor of Russia, and to unite the
two Nations by the bonds- of mutual confidence And
friendship, consents to reinstate the King of Prussia,
the; Ally of the EmperOr of Russia; in the: Countries
- ;
,specified in the Article.".
Is not this,Articleevidentlydi4ated by the feroci-
-0149 and-perNious vengeance of a tyrant, ?-•=7ia not
'the Sole purport of it to debase the Emperor of
RuSsia and the Kink df'Pr6Ati,'arid to stamp a mirk
of ignominy on ,the King of Firuisia by the very .;
hand of his Ally ? •
It is Out, of ildra, then, far the Emperor of Ras-
,sea that Prussia is allowed 1 pOlitioal .existence
(We shall 'presently,provc that, thisauiseratle.exist7
once is merely a stri.iggie in the agonies of, death.)—.
Without Rnsoia,:til!epohe would have been penili-
ed with complete- anoihdation Bnt :why!, such
severity on, the one part 'and such'deference on the
ether I Prussia took up arntS' to escape de-
strudion—Russia took up arms to. avert ahe ruin
of her Ally. In the eyes. of, the Tyrant the
crime 'of n;a supporting his outrages with' patience is
equal in both. It is because Russia has not yet,
like Prussia, been. rendered restless and, disaffe4ed
by the emissaries of 'corruption because Rtissia has,
not yet, like Prussia, experienced the evils of French
friendship, nor felt the disgraces of French alliance.
Add to this; that one of the Belligerent. Powers had
reached the -utmost bounds of her political existence,
the other was yet to destroy : it became a, matter of
policy, therefore; to crush the former by the hand of
the latter, while indulging' her with an uesub-
stantial existence, to diminish even the value tif-this
wretched boon, by saying to her :—" Vanquished,
degraded, mutilated, you shall only exist out of re-
gard for the interest of others : I have reduced you
_ • „ a •
to,. such condition, that you will not henceforth
excite even the feelings of pity ; and it is the hand
of your Ally which I will ,compel to hold out to you
an insulting .proteelion, and to make you pay for it,
.at the sameti ate,
,by a fragtuent of your mutilated

-po-hessions!" • ' '
