IMPORTANT EXTRACT:

The lignite/1r of the 13th contains a long article'
relative to E:igland, dated Paris, November ta...-1
" England," it is raid," has within two years fent out
four expeditions. The firft against Condantinople,
which was attended with cnnfiderable tors, and the
confiscation of all English property ; the fecon was
against Egypt, and proved dill more difgraceful and
difaitrous by the defeat at Rofetta ; the third was
againtl Buenos Ayres, in which they IoR scoo men ;
the fourth, againii Copenhagen, the mott atrocious
expediti..n of which hi dory c prefer:, remembrance,
And which has covered the Engli(h Govetnment with
indelible fhame. Why did the Engli(h evacuate Zea•
land and Copenhagen, after the Prince Royal had
refufed to receive their envoy, and to ratify the ca-
pitulatic.n ? Becaufe they were fenfible of their fee-
blends by lard, and feared the approach of winter,
and of that rearon, when the approach of the Danifh
troops should he facilitated by the ice."
The at title then proceeds thus :—" After there
four expeditions, which fo mardelily (hew the moral
and military decline of England, let us (peak of the
fituation into which it has br ought Portugal.
" The Prince Regent r f Portugal lofes his throne :
he lofes it, influenced by the intrigues of England !
he li)fes it, becaufe he would not feize the Englifh
merchalJize which was at Li(bon.

What then does EngWO, that powet aly?—
She fees with indifference what paires in Portugal.
What will the do when Portugal flvtll he taken ? will
fl►e go and feize upon Brazil ? No ; if the EngUfh
make that attempt, the Catholics will drive them
out. The fall of the houfe of Braganza will remain
a new proof that the defiruftion of whomfoever at-
attaches himfelf to the Englifb, is inevitable.

The article thus concludes :
41 The refufal of the mediation of the Emperor
Alexander, and the expedition to Copenhagen, fuf-
ficien:ly reveal the fentiments of the Englifh
Minifiry, and their fytlem of perpetual war.—
The fir(t confequence of there events has there-
fore been to determine the nations of the Continent
which were (till at peace with England, to break off
in future all conflation with her. Auflria did not
hefitate : fcarcely had the Emperor Francis 11.
received information of the events at Copen-
hagen, and the refufal of the Englifh to accept
the mediation of Ruffia, when he declared war
again[! England& Already the blockade is clofe on
every fide. Lord Pembroke, when he left Vienna,
in order to return to London, was forced to embark
at Trielle. The eorrefi•ondence from Vienna can no
longer arrive at London. The correfpondence of
England with every part of the Continent is inter.
cepted. We have in our hands, in confequence of
the blockade, more than too,ooo Englifh letters and
bills of exchange to the amount of feveral millions
(letting. Thefe meafures mud reduce the Englifh
nation to a defperate fituation. But what does this
figniry to the men who govern that nation ? What
have they in common with the Englifh people ?
Happily, on the day when lhefe Minifters Mall be
overthrown, they will become nothing. They may,
for Come time, continne to aft op their maxims, but

a cataftrophe is inevitable. Peace, the firft of benefits
to a nation, ought to be the principal end of all the
adions cf thofe who govern.
44 A Miniftry which profeircs perpetual war, be-
trays the deareft intereft of its country. It has loft
its confidence. Its inevitable and quickly approach.
ing fall will fatisfy the inteieft of the nation, and of
public morals."
