THE. STATESMAN:

LONDON:

.Itldtfli 3, IM3.

Pads Papers to the 29th arrived last night, and
also two Heligoland Mails to the same date. By
the former it will be seen that NAPOLEON i 6 not
sleeping, while the truce continues in Germany, but
vigorously prepirinefrir either alternative, of peace
or war. Tide PoikereAr of AusTara is likewise in
motion, and has paid a visit to Prague, where Count
METwtsucu. has taken up bis abode to meet the
Delegates appointed by the other powers to form
the intended Congrers., No time is at present fixed
upon for: its opening, but it is likely to.be long de-
ferred.

The Heligoland Mails state, that the French are
fortifying Hamburgh in the strongest, manner pos-
sible, and seem determined to render it a military
position in future. Indeed, it is evident, by the se-
verity exercised towards the unfortunate inhabitants
of that ill-fated city, by robbing them in a sort of
legal military manner of their property, that they
do uoriettitti Tiamb-argl to be considered as a com-
niereial place in future, and w ill probably transfer the
trade of that once opulent city to a more favoured
spot.

After a momeat et exultation, like that.which the
people of England have recently experienced ; after
having. been accustomed of late only td hear the
language of promise andbf hope ; after having been
led to form expectations the mist sanguine and most
flattering, it is truly painful to .state, that the pre-
sent posture of affairs is such as fully to prove that
oar exultation has been extravagant, and our expec-
tations premature. The other day it was a crime i
approaching to treason, to doubt that the fate of
the Peninsula was completely decided; it is now,
however, on all bands, adinitted, that its. final de- ,
liverance Is problematie and precarious. No topic I
was cy:patiatcd sn mull complacency and
delight; as the probable ash:lA.4:e of our armies into
France, and the presages of their successful career
on our enemy's soil; but now we ale told; that rein-
forcements to our strength are necessary, in order to
prevent the enemy from takilig firmer- hold on the
territories of our ally. We offer these remarks,.l
not beessuso,Jaltifialti the. pre.seast:stasa.,d. things
any ground for despondence, bet 'been*. we deem it
In the highest degree desirable, lint/ a noble steadi-
ness of mind should be cnitivtited by the Publie; lhiit
it should be taught not to be violently and rztifpg
itingantly effected by the
,aecidental.aprices of for.
tune, not to be weakly subject to sudden and e'n.
reasonahle transitions frOm triumph to despondence,
from dismay to exultation. Marshal SOUL; with as
army now under his command, which; we yesterday
stated to amount to 56,000 men; aaJwlricfi, probablyr
