There is kind of fraternity between the
Englifh troops in India, and the Ruiiian troops
in Periia. While the former bravery defeat de-
fencelels Mahrattas and Hindoos, the latter no
lefs bravely CONQUER and difperfe fome diiarmed
friends of liberty in Georgia. The province l.
miretia has been occupied by the Ruliian foldi-
ers, without redfance, under pretence, that its
mountainous htuation was favourable a refuge
to robbers, when in fact it was the laft refuge
for liberty in the Perian empire rs, for thirty
Centuries before no folder of a depot, ever da-
red to pollutc it with his preftnce. The great
dftancts OF thefe countries cauieS Europeans to
1oe fight both of their real and relative value &
confequence and while we are here combat
ing and intriguing for fome few towns, villages,
rivers, of no significance, the Engliih and Ruff
fans are conquering provinces in the Eait, the
revenues of which are greater than thofe of
mott Kingdoms in Europe. We are butchering
each other for pebbles, while they are decora-
ting themfelves with real diamonds. The year
ly revenue of the late Englih conquefts in India,
is greater than thofe of the kingdoms of Pruffia,
Naples, Sweden and Denmark, together; and
the revenues of the Ruflian ufurpations in Per-
fla amount to more than the Swediih and Da-
Min monarchs. We have only one hope, that
thefe defroyers of the human race and enflav RS
of mankind will finally quarrel among them
felves, and that his ma;efty our emperor will be
called on as an umpire to fettle their diiagree-
ments. Journal des De1en/eur5.
In the beginning of June, feven Spanifh ihips
anchored before Conitantinople. They intend
to fail for the Black Sea, and to load again there
Formerly the Spaniards received this product

The Eleetor of Bavaria has ordered an en-
campfnent of $1,000 men to be formed next
September mar Munich.--fIis highnefs is per-
fe6tly in the right to be on his guard, Whit
Aunria has fuch an unnecelIarily numerous body
of troops on foot under pretence of manoeuv-
ring.-The protection, alone, however of the
Emperor Napoleon, is more than fufiicient to
prcicrve his HighnefS from the ambitious views
both of Aultria and Ruflia, and all Europe toge-

The Emperor of RuiIia, or rather his MiniE-
tiers and Councillors, has every where emilia
ries, who endeavour to feduce the inhabitants
of other countries to emigrate and fettle in Ruff
fla. Topeope thofe waite defarts of its inhof-
pitahle climate, Heveta has ftlrniihed its quota,
and fone hundred citizens of our departments
near the Rhine of the ci-de-vant paatinate, have
followed their example. The Emperor has,
therefore, ordered all his PrefectS, Commanders,
and Police Commiiiares, to put flop to this
emigration, by not permitting any Perfon in
future TO crofs the Rhine, without pats from
the Miniffer of Police, Fouche.-Every Foreign
or French EmiGary, who is diicovered in at
tempting to engage the people to en,igrate, is to
be immediately tried as an embaucheur, and
fhot.
