happen that France and Russia be so equally ag-
granslized. so proportionabiy augmented. that
their relative strength will remain the same
that each wilirenl,n a match for the other, and
that in this equality of strength the battle will be
as it osyht to be--to the bravest Why should we
fear each other Why should we stand in eacho o.
TIERS way to pursuits which must advance eur
common interest In alliance we can effect any
thing. II opposed to each other, we mutually
check each sther's glory. Is it not more there
fore to our mutual interest that Russia & France
should be both great together, than that from a
Jealousy conceived by the one at the aggrsndizc-
ment ofthe other, neither of them should be ell.
abled to obtain that commanding station, for
which nature intended them, and opportunity in
vites them.
Such we have little doubt is the plan which
the French chief has chalked out to conciiiate
the friendship and alliance of Russia. There is
something in this scheme of things which Hatters
her ambition. Imagine oh the other hand that
Russia was to declare against France. In such
circumstances she would have to wage perlous
war, in which she could by no possibility gain
much, but might lose every thing. Let no one
therefore be surprised, that the emperor Alex
ander should retain his faith to France. In an
immediate point of view, the alliance between
France and Russia is an alliance of victory and
participation. France, by her unexampled sue
cess, has so much to offer, that it is no reasona-
BILE subject OF surprize, if by bribing SO highly
she should accomplish her point. The cont.
nent with all her kingdoms and principalities is
at the feet OF the French usurper, and if France
remain passive, Greece and Turkey, and Persia
are equally at the command of the emperor A
feXander. With such advantages in the contract
between them, is it just matter of wonder that
each should adhere to it, We confess, for our
own parts, that before we had given the subject
due consideration, we ourselves felt some AS.
tonishment at the conduct of tile Russian court
But uDOn an attentive vie " ofity Drobable ,notyee
1T appears to us, that long Bonaparte is sue
cessful, so long as he is the strongest power on
the continent, so long as he can most facilitate,
or most impede the immediate views of Russia,
so long will the emperor Alexander remain his
maSnanimous and faithful ally.
