by our Ministers objects desirable and important
enough to warrant our staking every thing on the ha-
zards of war. The British, therefore, and the Prus.
siaus, and such mercenaries as may enter into our
pay, may be expected to bear the chief brunt of
the battle, and the principal pait of the pressures
and privations which • the war will occasion. It is
said, that in consequence of a deficiency of physical
means to attempt the accomplishment of the task
which the Allies have imposed upon themselves, the
Duke of WELraswrosr lids required the whole dis-
posable force of the kingdom ! Whether the objects
of the war are sufficiently British and important to
us to warrant such exertions on our part, evidently
hopeless because they are impossible, we scarcely j
need say to any one who has a judgment to exercise.
Among other documents connected with the pre- I
sent state of affairs, which we lay before the public,
the letter from the present King of Narr.ts to the
PRINCE REGENT cannot fail to engage the Reader's '
attention. We really could hare wished to have I
seen such authentic looking documents and the Mir-
cial correspondence which could afford incontestible
and good reason for rejecting such propositions as

. SEL:OND CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.

The Congressional NlMaons at Vienne, who have
so long been ropourMg and " talking hie—holding
Imperial routs—driving about in Imperial sledge-
parties-riding in Imperial swing-swangs—cutting
up the geographical position of Europe, by round-
ing the corners of some parts, and projecting (hem is
others—talking of old Haase:, as misers talk of old
gold, when in fact they are little better than old
Al,nanacFs—and disposing of human beings, as
though they had obtained Letters Patent from the
Deity to become the wholesale drovers and carcase-
butchers of the world. These " High Mighti-
nesses" have entertained the world with a " Se-
cond Chapter of Accidents," which , they issued
at Vienna on the 25th of March, " in the Name
of the most Holy and undivided Trinity," and in
which they profess.to march all their chosen bands
of free-born Cossacks, and free-born slates,
of an hundred different wiring, to preset-re, by
means of. war and devastation, the peace and good
order of mankind; and, in paiticular, " to support
the French against NAPOLEON BONAPARTE," whom
they described in their " First Chapter of Acci-
dents," which they issued at Vienna, on the 1:::11 of
March, as a criminal adventurer, withoiit adherents,
and without hope. It happens rather oddly, how-
ever, for their proffered kindness, that France (if
the people are to be reckoned any thing) does not
" want protecting against NAPOLEON BONAPARTE ;"
for there he is looked upon as the conservator and pro-
tector of those numerous blessings which, according
to the testimonies of our best English tourist+, who
have visited that country, have sprung out of their
Revolution. But these kind congressional Monarchs,
in their 66 paternal mode" of doing things, insist upon
it, that the voice of Louis (reho reigned in b;s Em-
pire at Hartwell, near nineteen years) is the voice
of France; they therefore Invite hint, in the spirit
of his " paternal goodness," to call upon them to
march their armies " to the aid of France," that
they may cot their way peaceably through the ranks
of his '6 loving subjects," to place him again on
the Throne of his forefathers; and the good and
harmless old man expresses his readiness to aid the
" wilted Monarchs" in their holy enterprize, for he
and his Minister at War, who fled from Parisin a
bottle of straw, are forbidding his said 66 loving
subjects" from paying taxes to, or serving in the
ranks of the " rebel" BONAPARTE, who, very pro-
bably, has been studying the art of legerdemain in
Elba, as he seems to have bound all the French in
his 6' ChirMs."—The Allied Monarchs may lay down
their arms with the utmost safety, for this scheme of

Besides the First and Second Chapters of Acci.
dents, there are also some sections come forth, which
hereafter may be embodied into a Third Chapter, the
most material of which is an article, purporting to
• boot Prot.lain-Ater' fr,,fir his Majesty of PaussrA to
hls"lhvinq sobjoets." okl and new, many of whom
. are giving his Majecy a striking proof of their at.
.torlimeni to his person and submission to his laws,
by quitting his " kingdom of scraps," and seeking
refuge in other countries, some of them even in the
ranks of the enemy. This King, whose bad faith is
proverbial, even to England herself—this King, nlio
seized upon our REGENT'S dear,dear kingdom of Ilan.
over, because BONAPARTE permitted him to do so,
and because it was convenient to the rounding or
squaring of his dominions—this King, ‘slio met
ALEXANDER at midnight to swear fidelity to him
over the tomb of the " GREAT FREDERICK," and
who shortly after violated his 44 midnight oath" by
drawing his sword against him—aye, even this King is
now talking about " perfidious men"—about liberty
too—and is calling upon his people to rise in arms
to invade France, in the nnn.e of " GOD," fin.
the purpose of giving repose to the world, " for
order, for morality." Really, Reader, is not
this too much, even for the most prejudiced to swal-
low ? Is It not insulting the precepts of religion, the
' dignified soul. of the sage, the rectitude of the ca-
suist, the comprehensive mind of the philosopher, the
reasoning of the politician, and even the Majesty of
Heaven !! Had this King any thing in his whole
composition, which contributes to the formation of
an honourable mind, we would say,—" leave his in-
sults, Ms rashness, his hypocrisy, and his impiety, to
be punished by the pangs of a reproaching con-
science;" but, as that is not the case, we can only
recommend the satire of a SWIFT, and the cutting
strokes of a Jonnos, to be applied as occasion may
, require.
• Another article which may be considered as form-
ing part of the " Thirl Chapter of Accidents," is
the Anitrian Manifesto against MURAT, King of
Naples, in which he is mightily blamed for r' taking
advantage of all the elements of a political and mili-
tary Revolution," to secure to himself the Throne
he has acquired. MURAT obtained the Crown of
auspice, partly ass recompence of his very distinguished
services to France, and partly as a consequence of
his having married the sister of NAPor.Eon, who had
Imperial as well as Royal Thrones at his disposal ;
and who, if victory should again attend his banners,
and if he should take a lesson from the political
conduct of JOSHUA, may once more have the same
Crowns to dispose of; then FRANCIS and FREDERICK
WILLUM may have occasion to remember, in the an-
guish of their hearts, that they more than once re.l
ceieed their Crowns as loans at his plebeian hands.
They yet have the means of preventing even the risk
of this danger, if, like An as, they are not urged on
by false prophets to their owodestruction. But, to re-
I turn to the King of NAPLES, who is now performing a ,
most cortsplcuous part on the great theatre of the world..
This King is charged with sayitig, when he heard of,
NAPOLRON'S entrance into Lyons, " that he consi-
dered the Estemion's cause as his own, and would
now prove to him that it had never been foreign to
him." To those Monarchs and Ministers who
make duplicity the sine qua non of their political
conduct, it may seem strange that MURAT should
have made use of those words ; but that he
ihoutil have scud from the impulse which
