The Englifh papers iuft arrived in Paris are
barren of information they contain nothing
poftive upon the opening of Parliament that
great council of the nation will aiiemble, how
ever, when new fubfdies are to be voted for the
coalition, which cannot fail of being foon in
| need of them. As this war is made only for
| the benefit of the Englfh government, they mutt
difpofe themfelves to defray it largely. IN the
| tirR war of the revolution, they gave fnbiidies
only as their contingent in the common cauie !;
at this time the pecuniary fuccours are unlimit-
ed; all the expences are at their charge. The
two emperors of Germany and Ruilia are them
ielves only the vafials of the monarch of India.
| Tins every thing induces us to believe that his
Britannia majefty will foon call his faithful
Commons together. The pay of the Rul1ian ar
my mutt perhaps be fnpplied before they reach
| their dettination and in the interval the en-
peror Napoleon may furniih proper text to the
orators of the oppofition who win to hold forth
upon the advantages and utility of this new CO.
alition.
For this long time pat nothing has been talk
ed of but the immenfe preparations o. Ruffia &
Auttrla. The newspapers are daily filed with
details OF the march ftte troops, they careful
ly deicribe their competition, the progrefs, the
places they top at TO-DAY, thofe they will ar
rive at bext week, &c. In France lefs is flid of
! the movements of the French armies; indeed
they arrive before people have time to fpeak of
them. tits thing worthy of remark and
which already gives perception oftbe fate OF
the coalition and the ifiue of the conteft, that
the two powers who meditated the war with fs

prevented and taken unawares by the one who
wiihed for peace 1t is now upwards of fifteen
months iince the emperor Alexander put his
troops upon the footing of war, and began to
| traniport an army into the Mediterranean
For this year patt the emperor of Germany has
been making fecret difpoitions, getting arms
| manufactured, ard rafting men he has been
ltoring UP immenie quantities of corn and other
proviiions at the riik of creating fcarcity a.
mong his fubeets and of occcaioning popular
commotlons even i'll his very capital. 1t was
discovered fome months Gnce, that he made
numbers Of folders file off in the dead of night,
under the suife of travellers, by crofs roads, to
aiiembe upon the frontiers. And yet after 10
much care, precautim and preparation, it is
probable the French amy got together in hate,
without magazines or military flores upon the
ipot, will meet with nc Aufrian army on the
borders of the Rhine, capable OF withdrawing it
land the Rutiian army will perhaps only d.
1 rive to witneis the dilfters of thofe whom
blindnefs calls their allies, but whom good po-
llticians will call their enemies. 1t is another
glorious fpectacle, to behold energy all of a
iudden impreiied upon the French people, to
lee the reorganization of the national guards, the
rlie OF hocks at the verymoment when the de-
Parture OF court, the generals and 70 many diff
tingulihed perfonages mutt have carried away a
comfortable quantity of fpecie from inc capital.
ihIs emlnentiy proves that France has loft no.
thing OF her national vigour. She will know
how to parry the blows that her enemies were
ready to itrlke at her, and fne cody waits the
expeditions headed by fuch commanders as the
dukes of York and Cambridge; whom Homer
would iojuftly have ityled light-footed.
