going to reinforce the Attitsian army on the Adige
and yet they retreated across Italy without an ob.
stacle. Let us compare this capitulation of Alexan.
dria with that of Dresden—the fate of M. de Melas
with that of Marshal St. Cyr, and we shall see which
party has shewn moderatiop in victory, and fidelity
in its treaties.
Let us proceed. After the treaty of Luneville, the
Continent seemed likely to enjoy a long peace...—
France, engagei in her maritime prefastrations, bad
no forces on the banks of the Rhine ; all our troops
were on the heights of Boulogne—the vessels for their
embarkation were collected—the expedition was
ready—the signal for departure was going to sound ;
when Austria suddenly gave the signal for battle.—
Her armies threaten our frontiers : we march with
the rapidity of lightning—the tempest bursts as Ulm
—Vienna falls, and Austerlitz delivers the whole
empire into our hands. If our enemies had been in
our place, what would they have done ? We know.
not; but the treaty of Presburg tells what the Em-
peror did ? • . •
The House of Austria, which may be said to have
only existed in some of the Eastern Provinces, re-
covers all its possessions, except the Tyrol, the part
of the Venetian States ceded by the treaties of Campo
Formic, and Lnneville, and some other detached
pieces of territory, but which were compensated for
by the cession of Salzburg_ and Berchtoldsgaben.
Lastly, in 1809, while the Zgaaperor was beating,
at Astorga, the English army of General. Moore, an
aggression still more unjust than in 1809—an ag.
gression, the avowed purpose of which was to invade
France, provoked the French legions.
All the Western and Southern Provinces of Aus.
Ilia are conquered ; the capital is, for the second
time, in the hands of the victor. Hungary beholds

the French eagles on the ramparts of its cities ; aq
everaemorable battle put the whole monarchy' at
the disposal of the conqueror ; the Russian armies, '
then our allies, threatened Eastern Gallicia ; the
Hose of Hapsburg might have ceased to exist. •
The treaty of Vienna-restored the House of Aue:
aria to the rank of a power of the first order. Such.
has been the generous and noble conduct of the Map"
• peror of the French towards one of the BelligerstaC
Powt.A. Austria, after four successive wars, upfortu•
nate far her, in which _she has seen her existetsce
four times in danger, loses only a few provinces ;
ah! if she had obtained over us all the advantages
which we have gained over ter.,.-if in three years she
had twice occupied Paris, should we be as powerful
as she now is ? Should we have the influence which
she exercises in Europe ?---Ifseems. that we may be
allowed to doubt it.
•In 18)6 Prussia, without provocatiion, made her
armies advance towards the Rhine; the. French le-
gions go to meet them, and the battle of Jena putting
an end to this mad contest, renders the conqueror, at
the end of a month, master of die.2aussiaa Meow-
thy ; a great and powerful ally still defendedit ; but
,the latter being itself vanquished in the plains of
Friedland, leaves the Emperor Napoleon master of
the destiny of Prussia.

The Treaty of Tilsit places the King of Prussia
again among the Sovereigns or Europe. The Em
peror Napoleon restores to him almost tyro-thirds- of
his kingdom, the whole of which victory had put in
his power; and, thanks to the generosity of the con-
queror, Prussia still retains above five millions and a
half of inhabitants.-

136NAPARTZ has treated us with another Manifesto
against 'the Allies. It occupies three columns of
our Paper.. It is a. most masterly production. It
Irpronounces (unintentionally, we must own), one of
the noblest panegyrics upon Great Britain which
we ever read. His dying groan 'ism delightful to
our ears! He tells us that this country has acquired
not only a prepongerance, but a real omnipotence. Long
may that which he impioudy calls omnipotence, conti-
nue to be ours; and perish the traitor who would take
it from Us! It has been constantly directed to the great
and good cause of rescuing Europe from the grasp of
the Oppressor; and we cannot refer to better or more.
luminous arguments in favour of our assertion than
those which are furnished by this singular docu-
ment.
In 1796, he tells us that France was a preponderat-
ing Power on the Continent.—We remember it well.

She was then mistresrof !Tolland and of Italy, while
the Rhine and the Alps were her boundaries. She
had also something like a nary; but
.BONAPARTIC
pleased to omit that item in her preponderance. By
what fatality has she lost all these advantages ? The
answer is simply—she had the misfortune to allow a-
low-born upstart to call himself the " head which
France had chosen 1"

The sketch which DowApAares.sApolntist, at ra-
ther supplicant, gives us of the events of the. last
twenty years, is highly edify*: it'lliscloses some
traths—:.some state secrets, which nobody but BONA-'
PARTS and his "familiars" knew before. We did not
know, to instance, that he was diverted from the in-
vision of England by the diversion made by Austria
in his rear. We trust that our negotiators will re-
member this debt of gratitude when they restore her
share of preponderance to that faithful Ally.
-It is, in short, made perfectly apparent, that 'every
Power on the Continent has had its alliances with.
.France forted upon it at the point of the bayonet.
We must do them the credit to say, however, that
they seized every opportunity to shake off their
chains; and to this country they always looked, as
to the Temple of Hope.
It is more than lydicrous, it is farcical, to hear
I BONAPARTE iilk of his. " just, generous, liberal, and
noble conduct," on all occasions.

Yesterday, soon after two o'clock, Mr. FACET., the
Dutch Ambassador, accompanied by his brother the
Major. were introduced to his Royal Highness the

" BRILL, JANUARY
" General l3utow made a movement towards the
Rhine (leaving 2000 men at Breda), but haesinee
countermarched, and will join General GRAHAM tO-
morrow with 15,000 men. A report has already ar-
rived that Bergen•op-Zoom is taken ; the French had
about 8000 men there, hiving received reinforce.
ments from AntsVerp.
.Several cbaVoYs phich had
left the latter place, destined for Bergeneop-Zoom,
have been captured by the Cossacks, who traverse the
country in all directions. Of one convoy of prov:.
lions, consisting of 390 waggons, they took 280. Of

" A report has prevailed that the French had re-
ceived ciders to evacuate Brabant ; I think ik is true; .
u General Mortara left Paris lately with. all the
°tees that could be collectzd, which were conveyed
in all sorts of vehicles towards the Netherlands.
Aborerp particularly has claimed the regard' of Bo-
HiPAItTR. It appears .twat MORTIIti with his forces,
was countermanded, and all returned speedily to-
Waids Paris, in consequence of the intelligence that
&Allies were crossing the Upper Rhine and eater-

them•—•such are the reports.

" Deserters frequently arrive at headquarters from
Antwerp and other French garrisons; they tonsist
chiefly of British and Dutch soldiers. They state
that there were about.lstooo troops at Antwerp, but
that a large proportion consisted of boys as young
as fourteen years. The place could easily have been
taken in the'first instance, had the Allies pushed on.
Many places were evacuated by the Fre ich- from
panic, and the same cause would hive made them
sitirender- cullers which they now, having recovered
from their fear, seem disposed to defend."

cember, and by the same opportunity additional inior-
!nation from Sicily. Lord W. BENTINCK had set sail
from Palermo in a ship of the line, bat the destination
was not known. This circumstance will be connected
I naturally with the report we have before mentioned,
that an interview was to takeplace bet weentlar RAT and
this Nobleman. Gen. MAITLAND,it is Said, is extremely
popular at Malta. A Gentleman is now here, who
had the opportunity of inspecting the instrument
stating the powers with which he is entrusted, and
they appear to be unlimited- as to every purpose of
internal Government. Under his authority a Council
of Trade has been appointed, and the majority nomia

mercial differences and arrangements are to be re-
ferred, and much benefit is expected from the' expe-
