JULY 8.

M. BECHER, the Charge d'Affaires of his Majelly
the Emperor of the French, has officially communi-
cated to the Diet of Ratifbon the annexation of Ligu-
ria to the French Empire.
A letter from Etaplts, near Calais, dated the 4th
init. mentions, that at eleven o'clock that morning,
the left wing of the Army of the Ocean, under the
orders of Marfhal Nsr, was embarked and difem-
barked in the Ihurt (puce of friwiran minutes. The
fine appearance and difcipline of the troops prefmted
the tnoft impofing fpeetacle imaginable, and the ex•
elamations of ' Long live the Emperor and King,'
repeated by 20,c00 of his brave foldiers, infpires us
with a confidence that the Imperial Eagle will foon
triumph over the Leopards."—(The Lion and the
Unicorn, we prefurne, are meant.)
The Monitcrir, of the 7th, has the following Note
on his MAJESTY'S Meffage of the iSilt of June :
" Thus his Britannic Majefly conf:ifes, that, after
fix months, he has no relations with the Powers of the
Continent which could have prevented, as dated by
his Miniiters in their letter to the Minilter for Fo-
reign affairs,an anfwer to the overtures cf peace made
by the Emperor of the French. Thefe relations,
which appeared then to be fo dole that he could not
difpcnfe with cnnfulting thofe Powers with whom
he had contraCted them, are nothing more than' cons-
munications, which have not yet acquired that de.
Free of maturity which will permit them to enter
into ulterior explanations with the French Govern
ment.' The anfwer made by the Minifters fix months
agn, was nothing but evafion, and if there were not
relations then, there are no more now. Hii Britan-
nic Majefty adds, • That it may be of efferitial impor-
pnrtance that he fhould be enabled to profit by every
favourable conjunehire to effed, with other powers,
fuck a concert as may give him the means of refilling
the unqualified ambition of France.' What pacific
difpolitiens ! For the two 'aft years his Britannic
Majefty has done nothing but dream of coalitions,
but hope for coalitions. Will he fucceed, or will he
not fucceed, is a queilion not difficult to refnlve.—
How does the cafe Rand ? His Majefty would have
been much more frank, and would not have entang-
led a fimple propofition, Wile had faid, that he did
not wiilt to treat before he had made five or fix cam-
paigns in concert with the Coalefced Powers. Then
it v.-cold remain to be afcertaiued, what advantage
had been gained after there five or fix campaigns, and
it this advantage fhould be in proportion to the fa-
crifice of 2 or 300,0c0 men, facrificed for the plea-
lure of the .

" His Britannic Majelly indeed lets us perceive a
proof of prudence which deferves cur admiration,
that if he cannra fucceed in eifeaing a coalition, and
prt.curir.g hinitelf the pleafure of teeing from the
centre of his ifle, and the heights of his terrace at
Windlnr, the misfortunes of die Continent, his Ma-
jetty might then refolve to make peace. Peace, the
cbjeet of jolt ambition to all wife Governments, ap-,
pears to be only a laq fhift to his Britannic Majelly.
He recommends Mills faithful Commons to enable
him to take meafures to avail himfelf of the fervices
of louse Chieftain, force leader of mercenaries, or of
thole hordes, celebrated in former times, who lhould,
for the fake of fordid gain, snake common caufe
with him.

,t Who does not with that England may find Eu•
rope deaf to every projeft of Coalition ; who does
not pray for the funnel. of the arms of a nation, who
wifites for nothing but peace, whillt England, its ene-
my, call. out with loud cries for the return of thole
(Bridle's which have fo long affiiaed Europe ?
His Britannic Majelty thinks he can avail him-
felt of a part of theletter of the Emperor of the French,
to prove to the Continent that the Emperor feais
England, and that, becaufes he defires peace, he
dreads war : thus hoping to induce force power to en-
ter into a new coalition. The Cabinet of London
has not neglefled to fupport weak reafoning by of-
fers of fubfidies ; but it will be perceived that it does
not place a value fufficiently high on fuch fer vices,
and that it mutt pay Rill dearer. The Parliament
have granted five millions (telling ; Gill more will be
slated of them : We (hall fee if the genernfity of the
ihopkeepers will make the market cheaper.
" Every word, every ad of this Government, bears
the charafter of diforder and madnefs. It is a
Orange political declaration, which the Miniflers put
into die mouth of the King, when they make him fay,
dittinaly enough, that he will not make peace until
he can no longer make war. It will necetfarily re-
(nit, that when he wishes for peace, it will be ima-
gined that he is conftrained to snake it, and :hat
znoie niay therefore be exailcu from him.
6, What then is to be concluded from filch a met:
Cage ? It is, that the re-ettabliffiment of the tranquil-
lity of Europe i. far c'"2 int, as the Englifh Govern-
tuent will not be difpofed to peace until it (hall be
c‘nvinccd that no power will concur in feeding the
flame, and that it has no longer Miniflers or intriguers
who can hope to purchafe fuch affiliance.
" The feven or eight fpeeches of the King of Eng•
land to his Parliament, would, ii arranged one after
the other, and according to their date,, form a moll
entertaining colleflion. We (!tall leave to our readers
the talk of collating them ; a duty which will nen
tainly not be neglefled by the Hillorian."
