•►RIL 21.

Negociations are continued without intermiiton,
and the couriers frequently difpatched by the dif-
ferent Courts prove, that feveral of them take a
very adive part in them. If we can, however,
unit appearances, the attempts of England to form
alliances on the Continent have been hitherto fruit-
I lefs. The Governments of Europe feem at length
to be convinced, that the profperty of their com-
merce depends on their union. This truth, it would
appear, ought to be confidered as a fixed principle,
as long as the colofal power of England mita,
and continues progreffively to inereafi. It appears,
theref,re, that se may make ourfelves ear,' with
refped to the fupport which the Britifh Miniftry
Peek fur on the Continent. The Englifb journals
themfelves have been the firft to announce a new
treaty between France and Pruffia. Aultria, by
the orders it has given in its port, proves its refo•
lution of adhering to a rigorous neutrality, and
if the great dillance of Ruffia did not remove all
uncertainty in regard to it, the pacific charafter of
AL/samosa 11. wonld be fufficient to free us from
all unearmels. France then, Should war be un-
avoidable, may dire& all ber forces to one point,
and turn to one objed the courage and patriotifm
of her inhabitants.

There feems to be fufficient reafon for akribing
(he flow progrefs of the prefent negotiations. to the
impotence of the efforts made by the Englifh Go-
vernment to form alliances on the Continent. In
this cafe it may repent in filence of its loud bong-
ing. England began by telling us, in an urgent
manner, "I deride as Prate er War I" And it fem.
ed ready to draw a circle round us with its flips,
as the Roman Ambaffador. of haughty memory,
traced rut one with his walking flick around an
Afiatic King. It ought to have reileded, that this
circle will be impenetrable to it, and that it will be
fufficient for Frenchmen to have gone beyond it
once.—(Gage ts de Prow.)

Letters from Florence Rate, that the King oft
Sardinia has been aligned indemnities in Italy,
confiding of the Principality of Sienna, the Duchy
of Orbitello, and the diftrias of Prelides and Ma-
remma. It is generally believed that the King of
Etruria will receive in exchange the Duchy of
Parma, and that Placentia will be reunited to the
Italian Republic. —courier de Mdse.
Letters from Germany, and particularly from

Vienna, (peak generally of the fame news, and
add that this arrangement was concluded at Parts

French army, 30,000 Confcripts, of the confcrip.
tion for the year t t, are about to be railed and

at the fame time, railed.
