711 E MONITEUR.

WE know not whether we are noticing the Ar-
guments of M. Tiku.EyRAN,D, or Of M. HAUTE-
RIVE, in referring again to the Paragraph in the
Official Journal of Paris, which relates to the State-
ments of the English Newspapers, and which ap-
plies chiefly to what we have advanced on the sub-
jet,f. of the pi.e..ent relative state of the
.British Ern-
.
pire'and:oCFrance.

Those who have attentively perused our Observa:
dons, will, at least, admit that our conjeaures
have not been ill-founded. We some time since-
stated the objet of Fiance to be to exclude us from
all Continental Connedion'. That objea appears to
be undeniable, from the Paper to which we refer.
We are
.told that we have no right to interfere
respeaing Switzerland, " because we refused
to' recognize the Helvetic Republic," and because
"o we have no Minister at Berne." This is a
new article in the Law of Nations, and. one
extremely convenient for the purposes of- the
CHIEF CONSUL, so that if BONAPARTE, by ,arms,
by influence, or intrigue, can change
.the Govern-
ment of any Nation, and the British Ministers do
not recognize such new Government, this Country
is for ever excluded from any interference respelling
that Nation. This is not only a new, 6ot a sweep-
ing clause, and applies to a great deal that the
CHIEF CONSUL has done—probably to much more
that he intends to do. " The English Government,"
it is contended, " Cannot complain of what happens
in Countries whose political existence she has not
recognized, and with whom she maintains no public
relations." If English Publicists, and English Mi-
nisters will admit this, the Sun of Great Britain is
indeed set for ever.

BONAPARTE altered the Government of Switzer,
land..—England did not recognize the New Gover.6,,j
.
ment. A Treaty was entered into by France, with
one of ourltA;:ies, guaranteeing, as an important
Condition to that A,.1.1y, the Independence of Swat.
zerland. BO NAPARTg then -interferes to destroy-
that Independence ; but t( rt:-Y,land must not.corn-
plain, because she did not recog);!
ment which %was, established. .ze the Govern.
new tosovernment
is given to Pied/725/ft, and that after•. country it;
wards annexed
,to France ; but " England bag .n°
right to complain, because she had not recognized' '
the Government, which was made only to be de.
stroyed."—Would it not be shorter, and more to
the purpose of the CHIEF CONSUL to say at once,
that we shall not be suffered to interfere, or to have-
any Interest in the Affairs of the Continent ?
" The relations of France ani England," it
.
is asserted, " are the Treat). of Amiens, the
whole Treaty of Amiens, and nothing but the
Treaty of Amiens." Now this we contend
is, in the. way in which it is explained, neither
the truth, the whale trial), nor ary thing like the
truth. It is asserted, to:' prove the accuracy of an-
other position (certaini unfounded), that all the
Powers of Europe have a right to settle their in,
terests with each other as they please, without the
consent of, this Country. If we deny the truth of
this position, unqualified as it is, -we shall not be
dispOtted-to deny it the less, when we see the man.
ner in which the interests of Piedmont or of
zerland are settled with Frantz.

It occurred, however, to this Writer, that we,
might possibly have entered. into Treaties of Alli-
ance, that our Ally might be attacked, and that
what the old-fashioned Publicists of Europe would
call a Casus Fatieris, might exist : The rest of
this Paper, therefore, is intended to shew those
Nations with which we have had an Alliance dur-
ing the last War, how much they have suffered by
our Alliance, and to dissuade them from forming
any more connections with this Country, by exas-
perating them against us. A kind hint is given to
Austria not to pay the debt she owes us, but,, in--
stead of a Debtor, to become a Creditor, and make
a demand upon us. The Russian Armies are falsely
said to have been abandoned and compromised in Hol..
land, and the Danes massacred at Copenhagen.
The dethroning the KING of SARDINIA—the loss
of the STADTHO LDE RATE to the House of Orange—
in short, all the conquests and acquisitions France
has made from other Powers during the War, are at..
tributeil to their alliances with England. This
may be tolerably good Opposition declamation, but
how does it suit the Colvin!. of FRANCE ? For i
all this has been gained to France by British Al.
liance, why is France so very anxious to prevent,
such,Akliances from taking place in future ? If the

CHIEF r. has gained so much by our Atli-
- •:t
ances,with.;other Nations, his policy would be to
encourage them ;—but is this the fart ? Has he
been aßuated by our Alliance, in the steps he has
taken ? What Alliance had the poor unoanding
Swiss been guilty, of, when their Country was first
overwhelmed and ruined by the invading Army of
France? What Alliance led to their invasion of
ita/j," Zak if 'cane has gained nothing by the

Alliance of Great Britain with any other rower►
she has unfortunately gained much by the SLICCOS
of her own intrigues—and she has gained much,
not because we were nut srue to our Allies—but
because, in many instances which we could state,
our Allies wero not true to themselves.

The French People, we are told finally, are to
remain with " 4 the Helmet on their head, and th'
Lance in their hand." The People of the British
Empire then must remain in the same attitude, de-
termined to resist, to the utmost, evety attack upon
trieir honour and their essential interests,' by force.

of, arms, if they are driven to that extremity—bnc
equally determined to adopt every measure by which
they can preserve these objeass in Peace.--The
King's. Ministers will be moderate, but firm-
-They must at the same time recoiled lio‘r
much the relative situation of Frazce with this
Country is changed, since the signature of the
Treaty of .i4mirns ; lint if any compromise can be
made with respell to the Conquests we still re--
tail), reserving to us even Jess than our just de-
mands, we trust they will be disposed to evince
their moderation by accepting such a compromise,
rather than have recourse to the dreadful alternative
of War. ,
