But this, perhaps, will be the an and final hroke
Are thele the wanderings of difordcred inagina-

conviction, that defgns impoiibe TO he carried

that has 70 eentally contributed to the flcce Of me
French revolution The powers of Europe atternrt-

that BonaParte has publihe this Expoe in which ne

them from being nvigorated and enlightened bv Err-

Lyors-Lt the European powers if PruIia remain rs
they are, what can prevent his appointing his I,per
al Eighnefs Toleph, the Stakeholder of Holland w.
repeat therefore, that in year. if the powers Of
Europe remain they are,this plan will be cfFcae3.
But 1t will not be effeGcd, it will not even be tried
IT the European powers afume decided attitude and
ooaleice againit Bonaparte Ard they are or the
point OF affirming this attitude; we know that Rrfa
has declared againf him we fufpe9 that Prufia is
no longer friendly; and we fee that Aull1ia is afen1
bling large army upon his frontier-:Thefe are
good lymPtoms-they are fymptoms that the conti-
mental powers iuipecf him that they are at a awake
to their real intereffs; that they will not be made
uch puppets as they have BEEN and that they will no
longer fuffer him play them of agan1 each other
as he has done.'To fupe9 man is one of the means
of defeating his projects.
