tation of grain from his dominions, with the excep-

A letter from the Hague, upon the authority of
accounts from Vienna and Berlin, communicates the
following particulais :
'• Bonaparte is not idle, although his troops are in
cantonments. Convinced of the difficulties he would
have toencountel in his progrefs to the Ruffian ca-
pital, he is liated to be deviling with Talleyrand
meafures for hinging about a general peace. Baron
St. Vincent': journey from Vienna to Warfaw is un-
derltood to be intimately conflated with the attain.
ment of that objeft. It is pofitively Paid that Tal-
leyrand fucceeded in expofing to his matter the dan-
gers a hick threatened him, while the Empetor of
Auliria was allowed to remain neutral, and that the
Court of Vienna has been required to declare for or

ag tiort France, before the opening of the campaign
'in fpring. Bonaparte, on making the demand, is
Rated to have employed the molt fubtle arguments.
He declared he did not pref.' the point becaufe he
t wanted affillance to carry his plans into .effed, but
' becaufe he was affured that the declaration of Auftria
in his favour would certainly bring about a general
peace. It was obvious that England would continue to
look to Aullria for the purpofe of keeping alive the
flames of war, while that power remained neutral, and
while the Ruffians were able to defend themfelves.
On the contrary, were Auftria to declare as he
urged her. and to make a common cattle with France,
the reftoration of tranquillity would be certain. It
was alfo reprefented to the Cabinet of Vienna that
the Emperor Napoleon, on the eve of the firft engage-
ment with the Ruffians, fell on his knees, and made
a folemn appeal to HFAVEK, that he fought only for
peace. He is Rated to have pledged himfelf, that
the King of Pruffia fhould be put in poffeffion of a
greater part of his territory than he could hope for.
Thus the junaion of thefe powers would preclude the
poffibdity of future wars on the Continent. The
Ottoman Porte would find complete fecurity, and
with refped to Ruffia, the would, under Inch circum-
fiances, have but one courfe to take, and that would
be, to concur in a general peace. England, conk-
querstly, left to herfeif, would of neceffity participate
in the happy event. and Europe be finally enabled to
enjoy a lifting repnfe."
