It is rather singular that the French and the Dutch
Papers should -so openly proclaim the exertions
which the Emperor. of AUSTRIA is making torecruit his armies, and to repair the losses of the last
campaign; because it very- ill accords with the re-
peated assertions in the French Papers, and, with,
the threats held out by BOONAPARTE of aimibilating
the power' of 'the Princes of the House of Loa-
RAINS. But: .it is probable •that he wants some
plausible Pretext for keeping a foimidable army in
Germany, and the Armaments of Austria, whether
real or pretended, will always afford one., Although
-the late Campaign- terminated favourably for, Btio-
NAPARTE, and, the power ,of 4ustria was consider-
ably diminished, , yet his success was by no, means
proportioned to hii expeEtatiOns when he .*;.ached
Vienna. There can be little-doubt but at that lime
be' contemplated the complete overthrow of the
„Austrian power. The destruCiive battle of Esling
first gave-a check to his -career, and taught him that
he was not invincible. , During the long pause
which ensued after that battle, before BUONAPARTE
was in a condition to resume hostilit;es, he had a
foil opportunity of observing the'precarious founda-
tion upon sithich—his power rested. He saw,
that the whole North of Germany„\vas ready to
throw off his yoke, and that he coal& only count
upon obedience where his military force Was irre-
sistible. He clearly perceived that andther reverse
of fortune would overthrow the immense fabric he
bad raised, and instead, therefore, of pursuing Iris
original intention, of 'overturning the Empire of
Austria, of giving the Hungarians a King, and takes
ing them under his prOteCtion, he concluded -a Peace
• ..
with Austria, by which he certainly obtained more
than he had a right to expeEt, under all,the circum-
stances of the.cstse ; but still he is- far from Be-
ing secure in- Germany, and whether Austria
arms or does not, he must always keep a large
army in the Empire, by which means, and by
send;ng the troops- of the Confederation of the.
Rhine to fight his battles in Spain,- be may succeed
in keeping his vassal states in subjection.

Last night Paris Papers to the 24th ult, reached
town', :btu they are by no means calculated to gra-
tify the curiosity which vhe preceding papers tended
so strongly to excite. Nye have nothing more re-
speaing the Imperial PiOore. Nothing can afford a
more strong proof of the abject State of the French
Press, than that. not one of . the French- Papers
dire to hazard an observation upon so extraordi-
nary 2n event ; not one solitary coonment is to be
tbund upon the stibject, nor .is the slightest notice
taken of the Ex-Empress JOSEPHINE.
The Letters horn Madrid state, that the. French
have,
amazed' the Spaniards in that capital with the
number and brilliancy 'of their fetes, and great
hopes are entertained that.,the people of'Spain will
at length be convinced of the propriety of submit-
ting to their Conquerors,

. An immense number of ships continue to arrive
flo,n Holland ; between eighty and
,ninety arrived
yesterday. The greatesralarm continues. to prevail.
through Out that unfortunate Country, in conse-
lquence of tine expeEted changes in its.Goveinment.
Some
.of-the. Letters state, that:Louis is expelled
very soon. to return to Amsterdam, but we should
think 'he would 'not return tQ announce his own

dismission, unless indeed BuollsrAa.mshould con-
ceive that his brother's popularity in Holland is
sufficient to reconcile the Dutch to the intended

cb nge.
