Lord Hawkefbury appears to very
great advantage in his diplomatic corref-
pondsnce with Otto and Merry. Never
was there exhibited TO the world a more
glowing picture of temper, wisdom. juf-
ticc. and moderation, wrettling with fu-
ry, frantic infolence, craft, and political
fraud, that the whole of the correfpon-
dence dilplays. While in the very fra
quarter of the new peace, they were
making preparations for a sreacherous
itroke and getting the harbours of the
empire founded. While one hand was
clutched il the friendly embrace of Eog-
land, was the other itaalinga dagger be-
hind to fab her inthe back. Now thar
they are at war therefore, it is to be pray.
