We have as yet no arriVais from the Notch, with
dispatches from the Allied Armies, more recent than
those which detailed the battle of Dennevitz, and the
iv-advancement upon Dresden of the Bohemian army.
The interest excited by the meagre statements in the
French Journals has died away, and in this sickness
of the heart, arising from 4, hope deferred," the busy
admirers of •the 8, sublime genius" of NAroceorr the
Great ire at their dirty work again, weaving cob.

ticators of eternal foul weather—by these perpetual'
change-ringers on their country's misfortunes both
at home and abroad, that the Austrian army is len.
guid in its military operations, and that the Austrian
ttarettoa, and his Cabinet, are disposed to make a
separate peace t thur leaving the Allies to fight out
the deliverance of Germany by 'themselves. Those
who wish lor these sudden reverses of fortune, are the
pareuts of such ignominious falsehoods : they are not
founded even upon the vestige of a rumour; and are
merely propaated by the listless and languid fre-
quenters of the coffee-horse, because) like other
makers of mischief, they have nothing else to do.

What has Austria done to incur our displeasure,
that her Sovereign, nay her whole population, should ,
be thus libelled with impunity ? Is the glorious Ma-
nifesto put forth by that Power so speedily to be Toe-
gutters..-and have all the bright prospects held out
by it vanished. into thin air like the baseless visions
of the Enchanted Island ? Is it not worthy to be had
in perpetual remembrance, that the Emperor of All-
em.% has pledged himself " before GOD, his People,
his Contemporaries, and Posterity," to rescue the
world from that " cruel system" whichthas " plunged
Europe into a state of poverty, impotence, and bar-
barity."
But if Austria makes a separate peace, it is not
the line of the Elbe, but the shores of the Baltic must
he the northern boundary of the French Empire.--
See bow sternly the Tyrant retains Cie Prussian for-
tresses within his grasp, and with how much despe-
ration he clings to the 32d military division of the
French Empire: " a boundary," as the Emperor of
AUSTRIA accurately terms it, " drawn by blind Ca-
price—without rule, without plan, and ..-thout any
Consideration of ancient or modern peliiical relations."
For what has Austria gone to war !—Look at her
M-ntifesto. Has she gained a single point which she
Mooted in that celebrated document ? Are the
Hanse Towns set free ? Is Germany declared once
more independent ? In a wotd, is France beat back
within her ancient liniits ?—Aye, but (say these
croakers) the Austrian armies have been beaten before
Dresden—they are sick of the contest. What did
the gallant spirit of MOREAU dictate upon the sub-
ject, before it took its flight to another world—"Ce
n'at /as us revers ; c'ut un decouns."—" Our plans
are not torn; they are merely slit a little," said this
great man in his dying moments.
Strange, that a beaten army should be able next
day to detach 50,000 men in the direction of Leipsic,
and debouche day by day from the passes with the,
remainder to harass the enemy I—Proofs of languor
and disaffection to the cause with a vengeance.
Let us not embrace the monstrous paradox that

Austria will make a separate peace, 'ere we examine
the resources and try the muscular strength—the
giant sinews with which she takes the field. We take
not into the account her'welhdisciplined armies—bar
experienced Generals, and the gallant spirits of her
soldiery—nor do we calculate upon the celd and
fastidious reasonings of diplomatists as pledges
at her perseverance in the contest : Nay, let us
banish for a moment limn our vPew the exhi-
firating picture which the plains of Toplitz
exhibit, in the persons of three magnanimous and
insulted Sovereigns, uniting their energies to give
those blessings to their people without which patrio•
tism and loyalty are but empty sounds. Let us push
side for a moment these btilliant considerations,
pon which our hopes might be fairly pillowed, and
)ok to far more solid and more inexhaustible engines
f deliverance.

The injured population of Europe is rouscd—the I
pirits of their fathers have appeared in arms before
hem.—the ghosts of ROPER, SCHILL, PALM, and
.'Emoutzu, have risen in awful succession—the wi.
lowed and childless matrons of Germany supplicate
he favour of HEAVEN upon their warriors, and the
egitimate Sovereign of Germany (the once dignified
..'hicf of the Holy Roman Empire), acting like the
iligh Priest at the altar of Liberty and Independence,
pours wine and oil into the sacred flame of Insurrec.
