wary and polite that power however,
is at preIent augmenting its army very
coniderably. The French Govern
ment, on its part is preparing for any
event that may happen. The armies
81 the Rhine daily become more formi-

The great event which we have 70
con6dentially anticipated, appears to us
to be haltened, TO its completion. The
French by their own conduct, will
force the whole ofthe RET Of Europe to
