vvo,ld remain tranquil, he would hardiy
have contemplated the event of his presence
being accessory for the preservation OF MS
kingdom of Italy. -.
There is but one power in Europe that
can disturb the peace of that part OF the
continent, or make Italy the seat OF war;
Ans,r;a Sufficient time has not yet e.
lapsed TO enable US to Judge what lrnpres'
sion the seizure of Genoa will produce up
on the Austrian government, BUTT is I'M
no.sible that they can view it with favora-
bic eve The sentiments of the Austrian
cabinet have evidently undergone change:
since Italy was annexed to the crown OF
France.
Before. however, we received the last
intelligence from Italy, we were prepared
by some expression made use OF by Mr.
Pitt, to think the cooperation OF Austria
with this country, either for the restoration
OF peace, or the prosecution OF the war,
an event not at all improbable. Mr.. Pitt
evidently alluded to other powers when ne
allowed " that Russia alone, independent
of other continental powers, was not ethel.
ent for efectually reducing the power of
France. To interest other powers IN the
same cause, became matter OF the utmost
consequence, though 1t was matter ex-
tremelv difficult to accomplish. The Sc
crecy which such negotiations required;
the discussion of the circumstances con-
nected with such close union OF interests
and the arrangement the means by which
the different members OF the confederacy
could all be brought to act together, were
all reasons why the communications aliud-
ed to 10 the message could not yet be salts
factorily explained" 1t is evident that
Mr.. Pitt by these expressions does not al
lude to Sweden, whom every body knows
it would be no difficult matter to interest
against France: he does not alludcr to
Prussia: he can only allude to Austria;
but we observe that MIR. Fox has no very
confident expectations of success from any
cooperation of Russia or even Austria IN
the prosecution of the war. For our own
parts we will not entertain such desPond-
ing idea as that the power OF France is so
great as to be irresistible; to encourage
aud recommend universal apathy, servility
and submission. Let US not SO despair OF
the welfare and happiness of Europe; let
US believe that there is no tyranny SO exten
sive & gigantic, which unanimi,y, strength
ened by virtue, and which valor, armed
by Justice, may not at length overthrow.
There were many points which we had
intended to touch upon, but which the
length to which this article has extended,
ha. prevented us. We meant to have made
some remarks upon the inconsistency of
those who, after having offered worse terms
at Lisle, deolaim against the peace OF A.
miens. We intended too TO have dwelt
upon that part of Mr.. Pitts speech in
which, proving our financial resources TO
be so flourishing and ample, he dispeiled
those gloomy phantoms which had been
conjured up by Mr.. Grey. To these points
we shall, DO doubt, have frequent opPor-
tunities of abiding hereafter. AT present
we shall content ourselves with quoting the
words of Mr.. Pitt. !" 1t is most consolng
and encouraging to the country to reject
that instead of going on as in former wars,
twenty millions of war taxes raised with
out any material Inconvenience to the com
merce, the manufactures, or the agricul-
lure of the empire. In addition to this,
we find eight millions annually Sc, aside to
operate the gradual reduction OF the ma.
tional debt; when we find the taxes, great
as they are, becoming more productive
every wear; when we see the burthens 70
which the necessities of the state have SUBJ
iected us attended with increasing industry,
and their consequences private and pub.
lie opulence, there is DO one who must
not feel proud and elated with the cheering
prospect which all those unfortunate COM
ciGents offer to our view"
