The French Papers still Continue to give accounts'
of military appointments, and of regiments preparing
to march to join the Army of Observation; yet the
more moderate of them do not assert that war is
inevitable. The hopes of peace, however, must
rather .rest on, the wickedness and folly of France
going to war., than in the insufficiency of her prepa-
tions for it; for• if the French Journals are at all to
be credited, great preparations are making for aug-
menting the Army of the South, and putting the
whole of the military force on the war establishment.

•It is, however, notorious that -Louis XVIII. is
averse to war, and that there is a party in the French
Cabinet who second his efforts for peace. It is rur-
therlrnown that this country is decidedly opposed to
the war against Spain, and, whatever may be the.
conduct of our Government at this time, there can
•be little doubt of our ultimately taking the part al
the Peninsula. The question then is, will France
'commit herself in a war that is not -only unjust but
odious and unpopular? Will she make enemies of
Great Britain, Spain, and Portugal, at the certain'
risk of losing all her colonies and commerce, for the
•ain and speculative hope of making FaitDisAND of
Spain an " Absolute Ki

_., 'Ong . .
If the French Government is so mad as to under-
takcalvar under such circumstances, its worst enemies
can wish it no greater punishment than- certainly
awaits it ; and the result, however distant it may
seem, we hesitate not to declare, will be the de-
thronement of the BOURBONS in both countries. But
We are far from thinking this will be the only retake&
the attack on Spain. In former wars the contest has
been the ambition of Princes, the ittlYggle now will be
between Liberty and,Despotism ; and while a few indi-
viduals scattered over the face of the earth; are entering
into a common league to oppress their subject's, is it to
expected that the People will timely 'subpart to such
a tyranny ? Certainly not.the. time is not far dis.:
taut when the oppressed Peopliof Europe will make
common cause, and will insist on that freedom Which

This forenoon we tossltresio. Flanders Ntail, with
Brussels Papers to sheath inst. an Frankfort Jour-
nals to the 21st.

An article from Trieste confirms the surrender ofl
Napoli di Romania to the Greeks. The Turks,were
allowed to take away the third part of the large pro-
perty they had amassed there.
The Brussels Papers are entirely silent as to the
,repotted disturbances at Luxemburg, though it would
appear that the Government of the Netherlands is so
alarmed as to dread a conspiracy among the school.'
boys at Brussels.

One of the Journals says that the Police, for some
lemon not known, has visited several writing-masters'
in this city. They have been required to furnish a'
page in writing of each of their pupils. It is said
that this requisition has been general, and that each.
pupil has had to sign his writing.
AUGSBURG, JANUARY 14.
Baron Lebizeltern, the Austrian Ambassador. at
St. Petersburgh, who has passed'some days at Munich
with Prince Metternich, has left that city to pasC
through Bohemia and Moravia, travelling with the
greatest speed, in order to meet the Emperor Alez.l
auder at Warsaw, to communicate to his Majesty the
result of the extraordinary mission which Count ,
Zechy, the Austrian Minister at Berlin, has just exe-
cuted at the Court of thiThuilleries.
There has been for some time past extraordinary
activity is the diplomatic relations of.several Govern-
ments of Southern Germany, which is ascribed to the
4legociations let on foot at Munich by Prince Met-
ilernich. Reports of all kinds have been for some
days in circulation 'respecting the approaching as-
,ainblases of troops on the right bank of the Rhine.
It is said that the Prussian trooprin the Grand Duchy
