cess ? What a thing is fanaticism ! The very
party, even in their Journals, all but told this
aged and ill-advised Sovereign, that they
wished him dead during the struggle which
he made for some months against their pro-
jects. Milton, we believe in his history of
Muscovy,meotions a savage horde, which slapped
the cheeks and spat on the faces of their idols,
when the changes of the elements did not
meet their prayers. It is somewhat singular that
the Opposition Journals, which argued against
Nvar with earnestness, and even some freedom,
have scarcely touched upon it since the Royal
Speech—or, if they do, it is only by some slight
and half-suppressed allusion, like a person speak-
ing of a friend committed the day before to the
grave. Regiments still march towards the frontier,
but there is *no judging what Generals are to
have the higher commands : even the Duke of
ngouieme's director is still undetermined. The
Minister of War, Marshal Victor, is mentioned.
He has a lost reputation to recover. The Mar-
shals Macdonald, Marmont, and Oudinot, are
I said to have declined the service.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
While contemplating the condition of Europe,
and the conduct of the Allied Sovereigns at this
eventful moment, what must be the feelings of
every mind imbued with any reverence for the
prieciples of justice, or any regard for the in-
terests of freedom ! The events of every passing
day fill us with consternation. All the rules of
sound policy—all the calculations of moral pru-
deuce on which men have been accustomed
to confide, are looked to in vain ! They seem
to be utterly cast aside to make way for
the triumphant march of a mad and merciless
ambition. Liberty and reason are, it seems, to
retire, while the Holy Allies touch with their
consecrated torch the train of that explosion
which is to destroy them. But no : this- will not
be. There is a higher Power that binds down
the strength of the mighty, and brings the pride
of Monarchs to the dust. To the ways of that
higher wisdomond to the beneficence of that over-
ruling will, we may look forward with fearless hope
and firm reliance. As for Great Britain, her path
is prepared before, her ; the line of her policy

is marked out with a distinctness not to be mis-
taken. The time is come w hen we must look
beyond the bureaus of Secretaries of State. The
councils 'of the country must be directed by an
undivided energy—but that energy must be en-
lightened, manly, full of stern integrity, and of
that old English stuff which made our national
character what it is—or rather what it was—and

procured to us that ascendancy which we once
held in the scale of European Powers. The
great lesson of reproach and warning which the
crisis of the world at this moment reads to us, is
to be found in the desolating consequences to
every nation of the intrigues of party, and the
mischievous workings of cabal and faction—all
struggling for supremacy at the expence of the
great body of the people, whose rights each in
their turn affect exclusively to venerate, and
which each is secretly sacrificing to the accom.
plisinnent of its own purposes, and the attain.
went of his own ends.
