was ia itself grand point to be establish
ed. It gave to the continental states a
confidence in the strength and power Of
Great Britain. No other state IN Europe
could have done the same, it therefore
proved that England was proper to be the
first in this grand confederation for the Ii
berries of mankind.
1t was proper also thar the usurpsr
should have given further unequivocal
proofs, besides those which we have mem
toned, of the malignity of his designs.
Trusting in the tameness or inability OF the
other powers, this he eGectually did 10. the
violation Of neutral territory, in the seizure
of the Duke D'Enhien, the INVASION of
Hanover, the insults he wantonly gave 10
the ambassadors Of the most respectable
stsres. in the asurpation Of the Italian crown
&c, &c. It was well too that these things
served gradually to awaken those whose
dearest interests were concerned, to enables
them gradually, and therefore eaectually,
to make their preparations.
We trust We may now congratulate The
put!ic on the flares, prosper that has ever
vet appeared, of the abridgement OF that
monstrous power, so formidable to ali Eu-
ROBE. The former cenfederacles against
Fraoce were i'll compacted and Inefficient,
while the enthusiasm by which the French
at that period were actuatcd, was as wall
of iron. In the Coalition, Austria was the
oply Continental Power that was sincere,
active, firm, aad efficient. Prussia soon
dropt from the coniederacy, and became
almost the ally Of France; the crafty Gath
arine fought, indeed, with her manliestoes,
but she gave neither money nor men. dad
Paul I. continued the honorable career ca
which he entered, when he sent SuwarroW
into Italy, the power of France might have
been readily reduced; but the versatile
Monarch soon relinquished the vlrtuous
design. and the recall Of his General blast
ed the hopes that all good polite ais had
began to entertain.
The present confederacy is headed by
wo voang and high-spirited Monarchs one
of them the descendants & name sake OF that
hero, whose single arm once sustained the
Protestant cause, and the cause OF liberty
in Europe.) The power and resources OF
Russia are Infinite, especially when conoln-
ed with Austria, which has at this moment
the best appointed and finest disciplined ar
INV in Europe, and, perhaps the most &C
comphshed General. Prince Charles. This
confederacy, therefore, OF Russia, Austria,
Sweden, and England, Is certainly most
formidable, especially when we observe,
that its efforts are directed against the OBJ
noxious Tyran, and Usurper, who cannot
be regarded with sentiments OF esteem, C.
ven by his own subjects, or rather slaves.
We have recommended, aod we again re-
commend, in case OF new Continental
Coalition, a magnanimous distinction BE-
tween he Usurper and tie people of France.
