Another, and not IL very weak argument
in favor of prompt agreement to Mr..

Il political and prospective sketch ofEu-
rope, suitable to the terms ofthe peace
lately concluded bet1oeen the Embe-
rorS o. France and AUSTRIA.
Every man of the slightest Claims to DO.
h'ical information will acknowledge that
the military successes of the Emperor Ma.
poleon have been such as to give him the
control over the future destiny of Europe.
Even they, who feared and hated him the
most, adDitted that it was not only in his
power to annihilate the Austrian dynasty,
commonly called the House Of Lorain but
to pursue his victorious course to ST. Peters.
burg, the capital of Russia. There were
others who ascribed to the conqueror very
different wishes and designs-wno JUSTIFIED
the war against the Austrians,---an re-
Joiced In MS successes not because they
would increase the power of the victor, but
because he would, by those successes, be
able to guarantee the future tranquility of
the continent. A little more time viii iui-
ly verify these predictions.
Assurances are noJ given that there is
firm peace between the Empeross OF
France and Austria-and it seems that The
conqueror, notwithstanding the advantages
gained, and the means ct pursuing them
10 the rum OF his competitor, mas again re-.
stored him 10 rank power ana oomin on,
with the benefits OF experience, and an ex.
ample OF true greatness, which may lead To
the happiness of himself aud family and to
the prosperity of MS country.
1t may De asserted, without fear Of con-
tradiction, that history Cannot afford an ex i.
ample of greater clemency and generoslt,
than has been manifested upon the occasl.
IN now before us: important as L is to Tho
persons immediately concerned, 1t will be
still much more 80 to the civilized world.
France has gained nothing bat the honor OF
her splendid achieyements==some alterati-
ons are made in the boundaries OF the dit
fersut German principalities, bu- Chiefly
with an eye to the iuture peace of the
whole by territorial equilibrium, which
will secure them from The sudden overwhel :
ming attacks Of their more powerful neigh
bors and what is more, these principaii-
Ties, If cont derated, will ever be able to
afford mutual security to each other against
the very power which has gwen them their
respective strength.
Such are the reflections which, whilst
they produce pleasure, afford unanswerable
arguments 10 those who endeavor to excite
fears and prejudices against the authot OF
those great evenSs. ~ little more time
will fully develops these important affairs
