Romans on the exclusion Of their kings,

'rcau, or some one else Of Bonaparts's Mi
Elitary Finaaciers.
However considerable these pecuaiary
-leviss are in extent, and however import.
ant the may be as a financial resource, we
do net think that they sufficiently account
for the hostile demonstrations of France,
and the measures of precau,ion adopted
by the Prusslan governments. We should
rather suppose THAI there aressome of the
secret articles of the treaty of Presburgh-
Of which il Is reported thar there are no
fewer than s4--of nature to excite the
alarm, and perhaps to provoke thr epPosi.
tlon Of Prussia. If, as was onse given
out, S!esa were to be given to Austria,
then indeed Prussia would have just csuss
of con- plant; for even supposing her TO
receive Hap1vsr, Bremen, Hamburg and
Lubbock, she would not receive comp-n.
sa,iea fsr the loss of by far the raest vsla.
able province in her possession. 1t Aus
tria is to be ipdemnisyd on the side of
Turkey, II is net so easy to hnd out rause
for her interference. Her ancient rival is
now SO much depressed that she can scarce.
" view her with septimcnrs of jealousy,
even were she TO maks acme new ae-
oalsitiens On that side. Prussia, i, is trns,
is guarantee for the integrity Of tks o..

in the aG.irs OF Posand, with what grace
can she in future oppose measures OF par.
tition? She nav indeed be influenced bv
Russia, which has NANTES. interest In
opposing the indemaidcation of Austria
from the Turkish provinces, more Partcu.
larry as il would be done in concert with
France, and probably give her footing in
that par, OF Europe which would brisg her
10 immediate contact with Russia. Sup.
posing this to be the caus. of the. move
men,s Of the French troops, it mus, be in.
ferrcd that Bonaparse's iDtenuoa is to keep
Prussia in check in Germany, while he
dispatches an army under gen. MaEmon,,
through Vepitiaa Dalmatia, to cooperate
with the corps which il is said Austria is
TO send under the command of the arch
duke Ferdinand. tor the purpose of dis.
membariug European Turkey. !, If this
plan be put in execution, Napoleon will not
res, ill he gets possession of the passage
of the Dardaaelles, which will enable him
complsa,iy to cut oa all communication Be.

of Russia through that channel.
