if latety there can be in the prelent hum
bled and unbalanced fate of the European
powers, mutt be looked fer in the co-ope-
ration OF Ruflia and Great Britain, for her
preferyation. Ruilia could prevent France
from overrunnning Germany again, and
probably would do it. Great Britain has
leis reaion to interfere. Weary OF max
ing efforts to fave Germany, becaufe thele
efforts were unparalleled, and till more
difguRed to perceive, as Che did, that the
nations moa in danger Of fulgugation by
France were not only fpiritlefs and impc-
tent, but fcarcely willing TO be faved,
even when Great Britain was doing it
without their adiitance. Another coali-

menr. If the .hock of the French yevo-
luton can be rehRed by the feveral CON-
tinental European nations, If they can
reitoye order in their armies, finances, and
governments if public opinion, 70 long
agitated and 70 horribly perverted, fhall
permit princes and miniiters to govern
we'll, and to purfue the meafures that will
give liability and energy to their admin
Aratihn, then they may preferge their in
dependence. The French, by fpreading
their abominable principles, have, in
great degree, deprived their neighbors Of
their arms /; and though Bounaparte will
keep jacobinifm down in France, he will
make an ally oft in every other country.
The French, either never had liberty, or
they have loft it. Yet they itill retain
the jargon of its pretended dialect. They
fill uie the words that will make null
titude turbulent and blood thirty.
1t has been fuppofed, we think erroner
ouly, that, beoauie mobocracy was pue
down in France, that, therefore, the rul-
ers of france no longer felt an interef in
fpreading jacobiniGm in other countries.
To give to France the full command Of
her force, the government of ONE man is
admitted to be neeeiary. For that very
reafon, the French government will de-
FIRE, and will try all the arts of policy
and intrigue to make her neighbors and
rivals weak, by itirriag up the mob With
the cry of liberty and equality. There
has been yet no rulers in France, who
have not fet up that cry, or who have alr
lowed any Liberty to the people, or peace
to neighboring nations. 1t is, therefore,
qneaion, and qneltion Of life or aeatb
TO the minor powers Of Europe, how far
France will be able, as fhe will certainly
be diffofed, to crufh jacobinifn at home,
and yet to lpread it abroad. It's her in
terea to keep it down in France, and to
fet itup in Vienna, Petersburg and Lon
don.
The powers that,are econdary to France
were once Of fome Importance. Holland
once made figure, and Spain, for a centu-
~, aipred to The maRery of all Europe.
If Charles the 9Th, who, after all his VIC
tories, turned monk before he died, could
look. from his grave and behold his Spain
again, more humb!ed, more enfaved than
when the Moor held it, he would are

much Gncerity, and as much again ini;g-
nation and disappointment, as in 1886.
