PROPOsITI TEMAX.

LONDON:
SATURDAY, lIPTEMUII 9.
..-....

Faex the Armistice of Znaim, there was every
reason to expect a speedy accommodation between
the contending powers or Austria and France—
but the exertions of the vigilant NAPOLEON, so
far from Matting, have increased since that event.
It will be remembered, that the Twenty-eighth
French Benefits, which arrived in London with
the Twenty.seventh, in which was announced the
Armistice of Znatins, contains the following pas.
sager—" His Majesty has visited the environs of
6' Spitz, which forms the fete-du-pont of Vienna.
ti General BICRTRAND has been charged with
" the execution of different works, which must
14 be marked out and begun this day."—
Cannon, ammunition, stores, and conscripts, have
been pouring issto Germany with activity as inces-
sant as if the Danube were yet to pass ; and, never
losing sight of the folly of :citing in security on
the faith of probabilities, a corps of 35,000
men kas now been furnied under the Duke of
AIRANTES (Junot) at Bateuth, to oppose that
of the Austrian Gene 9 whoa
might attempt to overrun
(iazoay, in the possible
event of the reeoinesencemeet of hostilities. The
inflexible perseverance with which —NAPOLEON psi-
imp his objects, affords at once a striking illus.
trution of the really vigorous policy of this extra.
ordinary man, and a humiliating contrast !rid the
imbeeilfrty of our sa-disant vigorous Ministers....
Imminently important as was the coutest on the
Danube after the battle of Aspern, not a single re.
'Went was drawn from Spain ; and notwith.
standing the serious impression that might have
been made by our truly formidable armament
on even the territory of France, the people
there ere told, that " not a' soldier
" from the armies of NAPOLEON Will quit his
16 standard, to come and defend the territory
61 of his Empire." Thus, it seems, that all oar
diversions, as they are most ludicrously termoill.--
In Spain—the Scheldt—eed the Bay of Seplatil.a►
have not diverted the atteittion of NAPOLISON for
one momeut from the grand scene of contention
I s Germany. That hostilities will be renewed
Is not our opinion (notwithstanding the depar.
tun of the Duke of Baunswics for Ger-
many is announced to be at hand). That
event is certainly possible; but from the ab-
solute failure of all our efforts, may reasonably
be deemed improbable. If Germany, Russia, and
Prussia should, however, provoke the "imminent
deadly" contest, it will, perhaps, terminate iq a
numerous promotion of NAPOLEON'S Officers to
the rank of Kings. Respecting the diversion
of Sir Joan STUART, we must say a very few
words. The guns, it is true, were not fired
for this diversion, as they were for the battle of
Talavera and the capture of Flushing--but The
Post and The Courier took no small pains to
delude the credulous public into a belief that some-
thing had been done.—But the public are beginning
to recover their senses ; and it is high time they
should. The Courier of Wednesday gravely in.
forms its readers, that " Sir JOHN STUART'S dill-
" patches do not evince any intention of abets-
" dotting either Ischia or Prucida, which the
" French Papers asserted we had evacuated."—
That is very tree—Sir J. STUA RT, whose last dis.
patch is dated on the fith, does not announce any
such intention ; but The Courier knew very welt
that the first French account afforded to was-dated
on the 1151 h, and there were two subsequent
corroborating accounts ; and yet The &wrier
would delude its readers into a belief that the
two Wands which had thus fallen into our bawls
by the diversion of Sir JOHN STU* It'r had
not been evacuated. If to inform the pub-
lic be the legitimate object of a newspaper, we
congratelate the readers of that monotonous pub.
lication on this candid end unequivocal style of
liformation. Its !eminent coadjutor, the Nabob's
Morning Post, has, however, at hut, reliettnitfy
condescended to inform its readers this' Milinieg,
64 that Sir Joan STUART, on being inforqici- of
41 the ill.fated Armistice on the Danube, eon.
66 wired that his retaining possession of the
