Lastly, in 1787; Austria and A 2#4 3.54 ussig • ,
war is declared against the Ottoman PorttOraike k
the result of it ? Austria sacrifices 300,000 men and
3QO millions of florins, to secure to Russia the pos-
session of the Crimea, and that of Oczakow; and she;
obtains for her share two hamlets in Croatia: thinks,
to the generous interest which her ally testified for
her in the famous Contention of Reichenbach. •
During the first year of the war of the Revolution,,
Austria makes war on us—Russia continually promises
troops, which never arrive--and Austria is vanquished.
At last, in 1799, the Russians appear in Italy.—
What is their conduct?—They assume the command
of the Austrian troops. Glory, booty, success all
must be theirs. An Archduke will not submit to
their "Generals ; they instantly depart, return home,
and abandon Austria to the disasters of 1800.
However, in 1805, they dragged Austria into a
new. war with France ; Vienna was already taken,
before they had appeared in the field of battle. At
length they arrived at Austerlitz, they were beaten,
,they saw Austria humbled, and without concerning
'themselves about her fate, they hastily withdrew,
leaving to the conqueror the care of raising her
himself. .

In 1809, Austria again gives the signal for battle;
they lull her with false hopes, promise her assistance,
but at the moment when she is sinking they declare
against her, occupy atMau, and at the peace ent ich
themselves k.iith her spoils.

Lastly, in 1813, the Cabinet of Vienna, which it
should seem ought to have been enlightened by' ex-
perience, suffers itself to be again led astray by- Rus-
sia.; but this time she disposes of. Auitria as if a
subordinate power, she directs her troops,' keeps her
Archdukes at a distance, appears to put her forward
'nn all occasions, in order the better to conceal her
own designs. Is it possible that Austria can long.
remain in a situation so unworthy of her pewcr, and
of her ancient splendour ?
Let us hope, that ere long, better informed of her
true interest, she will perceive the secret object of the
Ally who appears so faithful to her.

Is it not evident to every one who has the least in-
formatit-n and good faith that Russia setks to aggran-
dize herself with impunity, even at the expence of
Austria ; while the latter, unable to indemnify her-
self, except at the expence of France, would be alone
exposed to be called on in future to make restituthn
of the perfidious presents which Russia would have
made her ?
besides, does Austria beliive she can as readily free.
herself from-the influence of Russia as she has sub-
mitted to it ? Russia makes her magnificent pro-
mises now she has need of her ; we shall see what'
her gratitude will be when she has placed herselffini
A situation .to do without her aid, or to despise her
menaces. Let Austria remember the past, let her
think on the future, and then she will act die only
part which becomes her power and her dignity. This
'day is, perhaps, not remote, for sooner or later truth
resumes its empire : the policy of States may some-
times waver at the will of the passions, but its devia-
tions are only momentay, and, sooner or later, it
returns to the road pointed out by experience and

PARIS, JANUARY is.
In the article which we published some • days ago,
in answer to the declaration of the Allies, we proved
that it was not to the ambition of France, but to the
eternal jealousy of her enemies, that we must attri-
bute all the .wars which have desolated Europe 'dor.%
ing the last twenty years. We have given a clue to
the secret,views of the Allied Powers : we will now
show them in the fullest light, and for this we have
only to transcribe a page of history. The world re-
volves in a circle of eyents, which pass away and re-
turn after the lapse of ages. -
Thus the coalition of 1814, seems to be the same
as the coalition of 1214, and though 600 years have
intervened, we find in both, the same views, the same
passions, and almost the same actors.
Let our readers peruse the following chapter, which
we have extracted from Velly, and they will be struck
with the astonishing similarity of two such distilit
periods of our history.
