The plan which the Cabinet of Vienna has trent--
mined to that of St. Peterfbnrgh prefents a new proof
of the intimate confidence mutuallyfubfilling between
the two Ingcrial Courts ; and if the war now under-
taken to check and reltrain the ambition of Bonaparte
(hall terminate happily, hs caeca: mutt be owing to
the continuation of that confidence. Upon this prin-
ciple we (hall, without difTembling any difficulty,
olTer our remarks upon the plan, article by article, in
order to obviate, as much as poffible, the difficulties
apprehended by the Aultrian Cabinet.
The plan begins with Itatng, as a faR, that the
real forces of the French amount, upon the new or.:
ganization, to 598,084 men, and with the addition
of thole which Are at the difpolal of the French Go.
vernment, to 651,94 men.' The Cabinet of St.
Peteriburgh has reafon to believe, that the French
army is far from being complete on its new orgAtti•
ration, in confequence of the difficulty which the
French Government has to furmoont, and no:with. ,
Handing the violent means it is obliged to tifo, to
mutter the freth confcripts, who firive, in all poffible
ways, to avoid the fervice.

able number of the French troops, by menacing a

Elbe, on the Wcfer, on the eon% of Holland,
Flanders, France, and Italy. The French, in (bort,

and dillribute their fnrces for the defence of every

could, in the mean while, prepare and augment its '
forces, and if the lime of things thould, in other re-
fpefts, remain unaltered.
But, while Europe temporifes, Bonaparte's Go-
vernment acquires every day new debility. His
power increofes by the fubjugation and new organi-
zation of all Lombardy and Parma. The relative
geographical advantages can undergo no change
favourable to Audria ; but, in feel, the contrary.—
Befides, there can he nothing more dangerous than
the policy of the French Government, which has ever
gained more by negotiations than by its arms. If
we enumerate the battles of the lad war, the French
loft as many as they gained. It is always in the
intervals between one great period and another, in
(colons of infincere, nominal peace, that they enlarge
their dominions.
We are therefore firmly perfuaded, that the Court
of Vienna, if it would confult its Own true interelts,
Mould not helitate to renew the war as fpeedily as
poffible
•and ought to make every effort to prevent
Bonaparte from confoiidating his power. Affured of
the alliance of Ruffle and of England, when (hall it
find a conjuneture more favourable ?
The fecond thing aiTtimed as a conclufion in the
Auftrian plan, is " that, if war be inevitable, the
allied Courts ought to aft with the mod vigorous
efforts of which they are capable." In this the Court
of Vienna has formed a jult npinion.- But it errs ha.
fuppofing for a moment, that it would be left aleas
in•the misfit of theconteft. The good faith and helm
of his Mikity the Emperor of Rana are too wall
known to admit a fhadow of miltruft upon this head.
Neither would dad Engli(h Government be ditpoted
to facrifice loch immenfe toms of money, if its de-
termination were not finally flied.
After this condufion in the plan, are mentioned
three things, the co operation of which is requilire, in
order to bring forward thofe great energies which are
neceffary to the fuccell of the alliance, namely, the
military arrangelnents, the financial arrangements,
and the general policy.
t. " It is timid, that military efforts would be of
no avail, if the Austrian armies Ibould enter the field
lets than etio,ooo thong."
We entertain too high an opinion of the refourees
of the Court of Vienna, to doubt but the Auftrian
army may be put, in a fhort time, upon loch a re-
fpcelable footing, as to enter the• field in (efficient
force. Being in alliance with Rudiasoind certain of
the good faith of!that Power, it will have only France
to oppofe, and will not be under any great necafity
of maintaining a force to obferve Proiffia.
It is very true, that the French, :redeem as they (hall
fee- war to be inevitable, will put themfelves in too.
tion ; and that Auflria will have to fullain their firfl
attack till the Ruffians join them. But, as the Ruffian
troops are ready to march, a body of them may be
detached immediately, which (hall advance by forced
marches to offal in the proteflion pf the Hereditary
dominions of the Honk of Aultria, and to refill the
full impetuofity of the torrent.
a. The finances are next mentioned in the plan.
The difficulty in regard to them, mud be in a great
meafure removed by the fubfidy from England. Be.
fides, it is certainly to be expected, that in this, as in
what regards the completion of the army, the Court
of Vienna will not fail to employ all its means and
refources.
The contingent of Ruffle woulti he, on the whole,
• le,ooto men, deducting ae,too for the kingdom of
Naples. There would remain 90,0c0 to aft in Ger,
many, which might he conveniently toimed into two
armies, one of eo,oco men, to affernble on the fton.

,#O.OOO, to offemble along the Bong, (rapt:l(lm Lublin.
- The fird of thefe armies might, upon the full ap-
pearance of hoftilities, detach the column mentioned,
which fhould march was Gallicia towards the Da-
Rube, to affilt in oppofing the first attempts of the
French upon the hereditary dominions in Germany,
when it Sunda have arrived in the vicinity of Raid-
• bon ; its fubfequent movements would be determined
by the condition of the Aufirian army.
The red of the Ruffian army timid follow imme.
diately, in order to reach its declination with the
(mailed potlible lots of time.
The other army would march by fablin and
Cracow.
It were to be wiflied that we fhould know whet
routes the Court of Vienna would particularly ciefire
that thefe two armies fhould take. In all cafes, their
marches fliould be refpeftively fo arranged, that they
may not meet at Tefchen.
As to their operations, the fiat might be employed
on the left Bank of the Danube, in communication
with the Araltions upon the oppotne Bank, having
its left upon Douauwerth.
The fecond army, upon arriving in Bohemia,
would proceed into Franconia, or wherever the dote
of affairs fhould require its pretence.
The Court of St. Peter (burgh is about to fend a
enoisfential perfon to Paris, to make a loft endeavour

Fleeted r for it isicestain, that we (hall Ineceed only
in proportion as we put ourfelves in a refpcflable
prs-
fstion. And we ought to be ready to begin the mo-
ment the negoeiation• terminates.
The reatoninga, fuggelled upon the probable pre-
grefs of the military operations, appear to proceed
upon very falutory and judicious views. It is agreed
that any operations aphid the frontier of France,
;long the Rhine, whe.lier below or above Mental,
would be attended with great difficulty. It is rather
on the Italian line that the hod fuccefs is to be ex-
petted. It is confecoently towards that qua: ter, that
the principal efforts ought to be dimities'. All this part

ranged.—(7o 6c a dad on lilonday.)
