Such is the analysis OF the declaration OF
the 18Th. We cannot but think that It
leads to those important conclusions, mat
France is fully persuaded that Russia IS
nnallerably bent upon War--tha! sac -
eooally persuaGed &hat Prussia VIII remain
neutrat--butth at Austria who Is necessari.
lya,he principal, aai wlthonswhom the O.
ther allies are nothing, IS Waverlng.
These conclusions are just; one or the
other of these alternatives Will occur ell
,ther Russia will be compelled by the waver-
ing of Austria, tonegociate1nsteac OF hgat-
log, or Austria, impelied forward oy' tae
bolder policy Of Russia, but rendered re-
lactantby her apprehensleas, will struggle
for delay, which will be encouraged bY the
Preach intrigue, and the assistance OF huS-
STA thus rendered nugatory.
The declaration of the 18th OF August
is followed by another Of Talleyrand's, OF
the 10th OF the same month. The subs
tance of this, is to demand that the reSi'
ments of Austria IN the iyrol shall be re-
dsced to the peace establishment. Ii ap.
pears, officially from this paper, thai Aus
tria has 20 900 men 10 Italy, as It appears
from the following that France has an equal
number. This declaration concludes With
an afrctation OF candor aud poiilcat ,nno.
ceuce, in complimen, and appeal 10 prince
Charles. An English sailor would term
this French palaver.
I here is no inference to be drawn from
this paper, except that Italy is less UMPIRE,
pared than has been imagined, that Venice
is fortified, and the Tyroi, Syria, and Coz
rinthia in state Of defence, In word,
that every thing is prepared for an active
campaign.
These two declarations calling for an ex.
PLANTATION from the emperor OF Ausirla,
were delivered to the Austrian Minister,
the oae on the 18th, the iatteF on the lotn,
Of Aug. On ths 2ls. of the same month,
and previousIo anv answer tron the court
Of Vienna, the Russian MiRister delivered
At Vienna, the declaration OF the emperor
Of Russia. This was doubtless intended
as tie first TO answer the French demand.
This declaration is the most Important of
The whole collection, and we request our
readers to give 1t the most serious atten>
ton. Ill isyc!bly exhibits the two NEST es-
sential pon,s--the wavering between war
and negoclation of the Gour of Nienna, and
the fixed, inaexiDle resolution OF Russia
TO enforce her claim by war, or.if submit
ting to negeclatlcn, to maintain state OF
armed truce, whhe the articles are settling.
The present character of the court of St.
Petersburgh, simple, absolute and ~Igor-
