iLU,OoO men--tnat Is IN scarcely jour
gveeks In four weeks more they had pos
session of the Inn, Saltzburgh, aud the CIR
Gle of Upper Austria, and on the 5th De-
cember, the fate of the Austrian dynasty
and of the Russian consequence in Europe
was from the most Formidable position in
universal opinion, reduced TO the inconse-
quencc OF q third or fourth power in ,he
scale Of Europe.
What is The inference?
The present year the French have ear
iicr warning.
They nave more than a month as to ,,o-
|tice.
They have as to the position OF their ar
mics, better than a tortnight's time and toll
saved, By the hos;tion of their sac iegions
-liortie7. and .1ugereau's legions were on
the 4th Sept. one on the frontiers of Saxo-
rs and Westphalia, the other with It's adj
vanced posts OH the PrusSian territory
Two legions under .Ney and Eavouat were
advanced into Austria beyond the Inn. Lee

states of Bohemia illhavc been called up-
on according TO their ancient constitutions

neutral to supply forage, for the ally ofthe
house Of .Hnstria; and to stop intercourse
with ether uniriendly powers
Three, or perhaps Ave iegions, will adj
vance in different directions for Poland,
, two by -NIoravia, will cross SHES a, and the
others viii cross the Danube by lower Aus
tria, and enter GcLticie (part of ancient
Poland) and is Prussia moues hagvn, he
will be checkmated, perha ps By Lncien Bo-
nafarte declared king of Poland, feudality
Observation-Disclosures tolerated-and Kosci-
usko, in the decline of his years, may see
his country and himself avenged, bettered
in condition altogether; and Poland become
once more the barrier against northern bar
barism.
Such evidently is the ahharent current
OF evcnrs-Sweden may again be stripped
Of her monarchy and her territory and her
power concentrated in Denmark
The Belt and the Soand are generally
closed by frost in the carry part of Decem-
berthe legions of king Louis OF Holland,
wiichhavc advanced, 20 the Ems, will have
passed the El5e into P3merania, and the
legions may pass the ice from Rugen to
Zealand, and into Swedish Sca'ia.
Such may be the outline--the details NAV
be easily neutrality-suspicious. France VIII be-
side her 10000 Rhenish auxiliaries, and
the armies OF the Italian kingdom, have r.
ieUen great armies OF 60 er 10000 men on
tire chess b0ard-Alnora.

Delaware, from Huntington, [Eng. winch
she left on the 18th OF September, brings,
intelligence from London to the 18th. Her
letters and papers have not yet reached
the city-but verbal information positively
states that Mr. Fox was dead.

The capture of BAenos fires by the
British appears to confirm some speculate
ons of ours few weeks ago. The cxpedi-
ton OF Miranda appears not to have been
openly countcnanced by the British court,
only to cover its remoter designs viii the
agents of England were seeking to draw
Spain into a ae7v coalition IN opinion
we have long held, and sleduced from va
riety OF coiacident circumstances-th
Bourbon family cannot feel . sincere at
tacamcnt to the ROnap2vte dynasSy--ana
fear alone could bind any branch Of hat ia
mily in an alliance With the emperor Of
Francc-the fate ofthc Neapolitan branch
Of the Bourbons, must have minisJered to
that fear; and overtures or a nature call
culated 20 encourage the natural hopes or
wishes of the Spanish monarch, could not
fail TO be listened 10 is communicated with
address. These Causes which would infu-
ence the court OF Spain could rot be undis-
cerncd by the court OF France or the court
of England; and while the latter would
employ all the secrecy OF diplomatic IN
tvigue, the former would be only the more
vgilant. Beside these natural impulses of
human feeling on the passions of the pow
erful over whom the passions are more
powerful than over the humble VINO are
chastened by experience in the crowded
walks Of the world; the conduct of the mi-
nisters of Spain in all parts of the civilized
world, too palpably indicated the dispositi-
on of the Spanish court TO favor the enc
mics OF France rather than to aid her aliy.
! The capture of Buenos tyres will now dis
sipatc the delusion CT English intrigue, and
/ the succors given to Miranda, will only
/ coTroboTate the treachery of the English
system. For the United States these events
are auspicious, the prof:gatc designs of
! YrNjo to Involve us in war with Spain will
now be frustrated; and that pacific policy
{ which our government has always sought
to preserve will be secured between the
( ". States and Spain, in spite Of Il treache-
trous minister, and an unprecedented system
of corruption and intrigue.
