TB-day We eontirtttti fruit the Afeatiteues the diplo-
matic correspondence between France. and Austria,
which terthinated. in the manly and decided declara-
tion of the latter - As we advance, we stumble at
every step upon fresh accumulations of perjury, eva-
sion, circumfuge, and lies—all issuing from the great
living focus of corruption—the genius of NAPOLEON
BONAPARTE* Never, perhaps, was the French tactique
more palpably displayed—never, surely was any So-
vereign or Statesman so profligate—so lost to all
sense of good faith, or common honesty, as to give to
the world such'" damning proofs" of abandoned per-
verseness of dis Position. -We knew well that the m-
eek of Ilouaratres and his.crew—their sense of right
and wrong—was long since eitinguished—but until
we read this Austrian correspondence, we did 4fr-
think that they would have thus openly r.
their contempt for public opinion. The sense of situ-
is the shadow which Virtue leaves behind her in the
human breast—while it lingers, there are hopes of
amendment—when it is extinguished

The Duke of Bessexo's report, which we gave
yesterday, is the first of the-series of .those voluminous
State Papers—it is also.the most important. It de-
velop-es. the " object, cause- and end" of the hostility
of France towards Austria; but it .makes out no
case upon which any honourable man can give a
verdict in favour of the former Power.. With the
-allusions made to the unsettled conduct of Austria,
previous to the memorable Russian campaign, we
have nothing to do. The Duke of BASSANO, it is
true, composes the exordium of his harangue from
those battered ntaterials—but with as much propriety
he might have gone back to the political relation of
Europe before the flood. The demur quo of Muth,
81t, is all that is necessary for our purpose—it is
in fact all that is virtually persisted in throughout the
remainder of the correspondence.
Austria is accused, thee,- of proposing. a treaty
with France, in March 1811% in pursuance of which
an auxiliary army was to march by the side of the
French Emperor, " for the defence of the grand in-
terests of the Continent," by invading Russia!--No
wonder that " Politicians were astonished. at this al-
liance." If Austria had been sincere, their astonish-
ment would have been greater ;—but the very publi-
cation of the French Government subsequently proves
that Austria was not in earnest. Her auxiliary army
took the field—but scarcely had it reported its arrival
at head-quarters, when a secret interview took place
between the Russian and Austrian Commanders op-
posed to each other.—Nay the French tell us that a
secret Armistice was concluded—the Austrians per.
mitted Prince BAORATION, and the Moldavian army,
to form a junction at Smolensko with the main body
—they halted behind the Duna—ostensibly to support
what BONAPARTE called the Minsk line' of operation;
