THE STATESMAN.

atrocities since that period. lie did not believe, in-
deed, that his character was at all changed ; no doubt
he would wish to he at the head of a powerful
army, to wipe away what he considered as a stain on
his niilitat y reputation ; but fur that very reason
this country should not be ausiaes to put him into
such a situation. At present he firmly believed, that
the popular feeling in France was for peace ; nor
did he think that Bonaparte had the disposal
' of the army. Carnet, and the Coostitution.mongers,
as they were-called, had immense influence over the
military, and it certainly was not their object to
have a military Government. As the Allies, it was
very evident, did not stir without the stimulus of our
subsidy, Bonaparte would have a strong case to urge
i against what he would call the restlessness and ambi.
firm of this ' country. For ourselves, though we
might nut now be in the situation to want peace on
any terms, yet he sincerely believed that in two
years we might be in such a condition. Re feared
I that the real object of the war was to replace the
Bourbons, though indeed the Ministers did not vett.
f tore to avow such an intention, for they knew that
'• not even in that House, and much less in the coon.
try, would they meet with support if they openly
`declared that they were actuated by such a motive.--
I The good sense of the country would never submit
to such a cruse of going to war.
Lord MILTON spoke in favour of the Address.
t,Ho thought it was better to have war with the advan-
lliges of War, than peace without the advantages of
tpmee; and considering, as be did, that no faith,
.-ceeld he placed in the present Ruler of France, he
thought the only real security we could have, was to
be (wind in a vigorous war.

It is announced from Office, with the gratulatlens
indulged there, that Dispatches were yesterday re-
ceived from Vienna, containing the Emperor of ADS.

bat night in the House of Commons. His LAtsjgbip's
ibice, it will be seen by the discussion on the Menage,
it strongly for werwhe and the Allies see no safety but
in a terrible hostility ; and in this opinion, unnatural
At it is, the advocates of war are joined by sense
whom we could address with such feelings as Ora
addvessed Bantus when the latter stabbed it the
breast he loved. " And thou too," Mitmets—and
Guarrati,and--but there is no acconoting for
some derelictions, and others are very. s 4 ea-
t °spied for. Mr. GDATIAN'S MI hal

appointed to office, for bringing, we suppose, the
intelligence of Bonaransx's escape to Ministers ;
,arsrd the father could do 410 less than take the first op-
partunity of showing his gratitude to them for their ge-
nerous consideration, and of evincing his hatred of N A•
'OLEOS ! Mr. PLusra err, we understand, is to be made
Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, Dublin,
and therefore has reasons also for stepping across the
House—but that Lord MILTON should, all of a sud- f
den, adopt the Pitt principles, is, to us, rather a
little unaccountable. But it is not the first time that I
Liberty and Peace, like' other unportioned fair ones,
have been forsaken by those who styled themselves, I
or been styled, their fondest adorers. It will be
observed, that Lord CASTLEREAGH, in order to show
BONAPARTE'S treaty-breaking disposition, had re- t
course again last night to his old letter—what a use- 1
ful and valuable scrap it is !—said to have been ad-
dressed by the FRENCH Emexaon to his Minister at
Chatillon, desiring him to be careful in his eapres-
sions in the stipulations regarding the fortresses of i
Antwerp, Mayence, and Alexandria. These for-
tresses are considered as the keys of Belgium, Ger-
many, and Italy,—therefore BONAPARTE intended
to take possession of them the first opportunity, !
even though he had ratified the Treaty. Ho might ,
bate had such an laterrises, amt Tvcolably might
have carried it into effect, for—these fortresses are '
alto the kegs of France—awl France wants security
I against aggression as much assay of the Allied Powers. t
Lord CASTLEREAGH is sanguine as to the result of
the war, yet alliirs theta no period of the struggle ,
has France been more resolved or better prepared to
support her national independence, and that there
exists in the population and the Government of that
country as settled a feeling as in the rest of Europe,
that the existence of their independence, their liber-
'lies, and hopes of honour and repose, depend on
the issue of this war. The struggle, therefore, must
be dreadful, and dreadful is the responsibility which
must fall upon these who wantonly provoke it.—
Lord CASTLIREAGII, while in the lobby last night,
~addressed a most earned exhortation to his friends
not to be absent this evening, and reminded them
that the question for discussion this night (respecting
subsidies) would be of more importance than the
vote to which the House was then coming, at it
would be necessary to give effect to the principles that
might be contended for.
We trust-we shall hear the voice of Mr. %we-
BRIAD, which, we regret to says we missed in the
debate of lest night, exerted this evening, and toned-
log to the farthest quarters of the globe with its cha-
racteristic eloquence and patriotism in defence of
those principles for which he lies so long contended,
and the maintenance of which has done him so mach
honour.

Oar foreign intelligence to-day is eery_ scanty.—.
Its paucity enables as to be more diffuse on other
important subjects.
Letters from Paris, of Monday's date, state,
that a courier had arrived there on Sunday last,
with a dispatch from Jffienna, in consequence of
.thich the intended penile was put off, and a Coun-
cil of Ministers was held, at which the Emperor U.
sisted, and which rot till six o'clock in the after-
noon.
All the General Officers, sod persons the
best informed la the public offsets, still entertain the
most perfect easideace in the establishment of Bo-
NAPA KTa en the throne. They estimate the
amount of the French army at 400,000 effec-
tive
men, and 50,000 cavalry. They seem convinced
that the result of the campaign will
.be to give to
France the Rhine for its frontiers.

Letters from Belgium say, that the military atti-
tude of the French gives rise to most serious reflec-
tions among the Allies.
An official account has been published by the Aus-
trian Government of the successes against MUItAT..-
It agrees in essentials with the Bulletin issued two
days ago by our Foreign Office.

THE LErce.—Yesterday, at two o'clock, the
PRINCE REGENT held a Levee at Carlton-house,
which was attended by their Royal Highnesses the

sons were presented to the Pativcs Rraryer : among
others, Admiral Sir Roger ,Curtis, G. C. B.; Sir J.

hostilities with France.
