SOLEM QUfS PTO:RE FALSCM AUDEAT ?

LaNDON,.
THURSDAY, surA 16, 1812.

We have this day continued our Extracts from
the French Paperi ; among them will be found
the third Bulletin. of the French Army: It an,;
neunce-s the commencement ,of hostilities.-
.No action or even skirmish of any importance
has taken place, as the Russian light troops
retreated without making any serious resistariee.
.
The mode in which BUONAFARTE almost. always
:draws up his Bulletins renders it extremely difli-
eult.toform a correct judgment of the movements
of his troops, for indeed of any event which
they profess to detail. They are often stu-
diously confused,, and, with the appeatance of
particularify, frequently auintelligible. .We can
however collect,- that All: French are advanc-
'vyistll their usual rapidity, -with the hope
-• . .
either of, forcing the Russians to a battle, or of
cutting off 'some of tile detached divisions
of - their army. If, however, the Russians'•
persevere in a defensive and harassing system
of ,operations; the issue must be favour-;• •
able 40_ them, and BpOiqAPARTE will at length
find, that the •cloud of Cossacks, whoni he

affect 4 to. treat so contemptuously, are quite. as
well calculated for pursuing as they now seem to
be for retreating. •

The 'Documents which we yesterday laid before
out readers afford another proof, to Europe, if
another proof were- w.anting, that -BbONAPARTE
has no other object but that of universal conquest,
and that he now considers himself sufficiently
powerful to- treat with avowed contempt every
principle of justice, and to violate at pleasure all
those rights which have been hitherto held as sacred
among. civilized nations. It would be useless to
attempt seriously to analyse the State Papers is-
' sued by BUONAPARTE ; they arc
.all founded upon
these principles,—that he has a right to seize any-
territory.
.of which he wishes-td be in possession,
and that he has a right to pwescribeto independent
Sovereigns the conduct that they must adopt. He
asserts these rights, not circuitously and by infe-.
re nee, but distinctly-and. boldly I have annex-
ed (says he) Holland to my dominions, because
it suited my convenience; I hate seized the Haase
Towns, because, without them, the possession of
Holland would be of no use to me ; and I have
taken the Duchy of Oldenburg, because it is
dove-tailed into the other territories which I have
seized, and because it is a necessary consequence of
my uniting the Hanse Towns with France." This
is certainly a most compendious mode of reason-
itzo and we .do not wonder that BUONAPARTP.
should adopt it; for if the perpetration of one act of
.atracity can be urged as a justification of the com-
mission Of another; the conduct of naraan that
ever lived can be so completely defended as that
of the present tyrant of France. There areihow-
ever, two or three points in these Trench State
Papers upou.which we cannot-avoid making a.few
observations. BuONAPARTE has, to suit his purposes
in the war
.akainst England, loudly maintained the
principle, that free ships make free goods ; and
yet one of his principal grounds of quarrel With
Pussia is;
,that she acted upon that eery principle
with respect to English property in American
ships. . The proposition of this
_modern lecturer,
on the law of 'nations is- this : if French"goods
a:e on board. a neutral-ship, the goods of the
Belligerent are s'ecurtd by the neutrality,' of the
; but if British goods are on board a neutral
v_!s3el, then the neutrality of the flag is destroyecl-
by the goods of the Belligerent, and the vessel, in
the jargon of the day, is denationalized.
We are Under the necessity, froin want of room,
,
of, postponing the remainder-of our observations
till to-morrow. •
