But to the Emperor of France, the Con.

ilrable object. He might become the matter
OF the Black Sea and of its Rnfiian commerce.
He might accomplish his favorite fcheme of CO.

trade in the I.evant.
Nor can we forbear to add that much
more romantic fchemc than even thefe has
entered the brain of fome, fay rather, of one of
the Statefmen Of Europe. It is given in the
following article from the Pnbliclte, femi-
official paper of Paris, of Dec 10th, and al.
pears in the form of letter from Vienna,
dated Esd November. Was this fcheme the
offspring Of French ftatefn.an or French mad

The great object of Bonaparte, however, is
not at prefent the conqueft of Turkey or of
Egypt, but of Britain. There can be no doubt
that the prefent miniftry will attempt to evade
the form by making peace : And if ever there
was miniitry in England, which was felected
from Jingle regard to talents and abilities,
it is the prefent one. Ii is lit of the ablcfi

LONDON, January Is.
We announced in one of our papers of the
preient week, that in confederation of the cir
cumitances OF the times, and what was expected
OF them in the enfuing parliament, the leaders
of what is called the oppo6tion, and fome of
the mott ditinguilhed men in the Country, had
formed themfelves into regular fitting, and
had already met once upon the prefent iituatioh
of public affairs.
They have ince had afecond meeting, at the
houfe of the Earl of A----le, when dueftion
of the firft public intereft, and involving in it
the very union of the party, to the fepsration
of which the country mutt look with alarm.
was fully difcuiIed and finally arranged.
This queition was no Iefs than the line Of DO
icy to be obferyed by the party in the enfuing
parliament, being the great queRion of Peace or
War.
We have obtained permifIion, and, we are
confident, exclufively, to Rate as follows:
Mr.. Fox gave 1t as his opinion, that in the
prelent folitary fate of this country, feyered by
the late events from her actual allies, and by the
fame events rendered desperate in her hopes of
Implying their place by others, with Ruiiia re-
treating IN manner that whole year would
be loft before ihe could again come into the
field, and with Aufria 70 reduced that fhe
could never again come into the field--that in
this political fotnde. this abfence of all hope of
alliance, nothing remained for this country but
to conclude peace. That the confederaey
aud former alliance, NUT now be confideredSas
fully ditlolyeds-ihat another mutt be formed by
other negotiations, and that to bring thefe ne
gociaiions to any concluhon NUT he work of
much time, and great uncertainty--that in the
mean time the war, if it were on war that we
were refolved, NUT either be fiifpended or con-
tinued-if fufpended, what was fufpended
war but another name for peace-a peace of
precaution, peace of fecurity! IF the war
were to be continued, it mult be contiaued with
out allies. To this he could never coh.snt. be-
caufe, in the prefent circumstances of Europe,
aud as to any uieful purpofe, he was perfuaded
we were unequal to it. That the fpirit ofthe
country indeed was equal to il but the foirit
was one thing, and the phyIieal ftreugth of the
body another--That fpirit was but another
name for patton, generous indeed, but, like e.
very other PATTON, not exactly under the con.

the PATTON of glory, led us to defpife dangers,
