• All the accounts from the Netherlands certainly
indicate the immediate approach of hostilities; and
all the accounts we have by the Papers which are
published under Dutch and German authority, give
confident anticipations' of a successful result to the
meditated contest. But there are generally two
sides of a question, and both should be carefully ex. I
amined ere a judgment be formed. Every thing that
is witnessed in France, independent of what is per.:
ceptible elsewhere, tends to moderate such satiguitbe ,

meat. llowever, the campaign for this object will I
speedily be opened with what force the friends of the
BOURBONS can muster. The plan, we are told, was
agreed upon at the late interview between the I

Duke of WELLINGTON and Prince BLUCHER. The
Prussian troops appear to be tolerably forward,
and the arrival of the Russians, seems to be the I
only cause of delay. " The cry is still they come,"
and still it would. appear but few Russians are in-
clined to show themselves ttn the Rhine. Their chief-
force is still in Poland, where it may well he believed
its presence is necessat y "for the preservation of trnn.
quillity,"or it would not remain there in the present i
crisis, when there are so many calls for its aid on.thil
French frontier. The headquarters of the Doke of '
Vir.r.r.rnorov are established at Englilen; those of
tI4 Pt ;lice of On 5 Eat Brame le Comte, and those
of Prince FREDERICK at Nivelles. NAPOLEON seems

.the contest. N.troctoll errs not in policy
by his forbearance—it is his policy and wish to
have the war considered purely defensive—a
war pro arts et focis, a war of necessity—a war for
the liberty and independence of the country ; and
if the Allies enter France with white cockades, and
such Proclamations as they and Louis the XVlllth
have been uttering,—such assertions in their mouths as
that " the existence of the BOURBON Throne in
France is the only thing that can guarantee the sta-
bility or legitimacy of the Government"—the only
only object for which they have drawn their swords,
will be a war against the liberties of mankind and
the independence of nations.
We still have nothing that can lead us to right
coactusions as to the state of affairs in Italy.—
