REFLECTIONS ON THE STATE OF EUROPE.
UNDER this head, the Connecticut
Courant has lately published a series of
numbers. The writer conc u les the whole
with the following pertinent and impress.
siye remarks:
"In the,stupendous drama of Europe,
which begun with the French revolution,
almost every succeeding act has produced
surprize by its novelty, and has abounded
with incidents as terrible as they were UNI
expected. Both wisdom and folly have
been bafaed alike in their coniectures re-
specting the future. In vain hassthe learn
ed sage explored the pages of history anci-
ent and modern, to find some parallel in
stance that might enable him to conjecture
the future from the past. In vain has the
shrewd politician, the wiley statesman, at
tempted to lift the veil from futurity, so far
as to descry consequences from their causes
nicely weighed in this balance. All AL have
been equally puzzled, equally bafled in their
theories, equally cut in their guesses: and
from FIRST TO last, it has happened that what
occurs to-day affords no means 10y which to
Judge of to-morrow.
1--WE have seen great and high spirit
ed nation rise in Its might and burst the
bands of Its government. We have seen
this nation of 80 millions of people, not only
prostrating and sweeping away all its civil
institutions, but also waging open war, as it

food ofsm;serries whereby Europe IS over
whelmed. Letus practice those political,
moral and religious virtues, which exalt a
nation. Let us shun the contagion of French
.;i,l,1quence, and~of. ell foreign iu jqueme, with
as mach vigilance and dread as W. should
sfue the touch OF the hand of death. And
then, Gin the name of our God, we might
nhut ub our banners, and bid defiance to
the arm of flesh how potent soever, that
should offer to assail us,

The occupation OF Trieste and Fiume
By the French, will be one of the FIRST O..
pcralions of the war.
We are assured that the English SQUAD
ron, which is cruising in tn. Adriatic, is
expected TO enter the port of Trieste, from
whence the Russian squadron lying ther re
IS about to depart for Venice. A treaty
has been negotiated between the courts of
London and Vienna, particularly respe0-
ing the subsidies which The Austriaos ~ ere
promised by the former. a large sam
OF mooey is expected at Trieste, which
has for long time remained at Malta, to
be conveyed TO Austria as soon as the
English received advice Of the dsc,arati ion
OF war against France.
The numb4r OF English ships has en-.
creased wlihin a short time, in the Adri-
ATTIC Gulf. Some of,he frigates belonging
20 the squadron biocfading Corfu, are ar.
rived IN the southern part of the Gulf, to

t'ai to the negotiation, they required the
cession OF the provinces in question, and
neciAred it was useless to pro.ong neeocia.
Hon' II the Porte was not prepared to &C.
cede TO this preliminary proposition,
ne ministers OF the Porte replied that
suca cession was altogether Contrary TO
the INSTRUCTIONS they had received, that ii
woulo violate the rules OF their religion,
and that IN short they had an order to con !.
sent to no arrangement of the kind
but the circumstance which accelerated
the breaking up of the congress, was this.
AT the close OF the FIRST sitting, the Russian
ministers demanded that the British minis
ter should be ordered to quit Constantine. :.
pie directly, and that all British merchan.
dize found throughout the Ottoman empire
should be seized.
Inc Turkish ministers intended to de =.
part from Constantinople the day after to-.
morrow but they were detained. 1t is
believed that prince Prosoro wslli had sent
ten OF his officers to Constantinople with an
uit'matum, containing Representations to the
roree or the inevitable consequences of Its
refusal, and the Russians do not think il
prudent to suffsr the Ottom an ministers TO
depart until these officers shall return.
After the breaking up of the congress, a
great number of courtiers were sent with
instructions TO the different Russian gene.
rails commanding on the DANUBE. A great
number OF regiments were put in motion,
and every thing announces the immediate
commencement of hostiitics.

Revolution at Bnenos .furee.-{Ye have
long suspected that LINERS was exerting
himself TO the utmost in favor of the family
OF Bonaparte, and we now learn, by letters
from Rio Janiero, of the late date of Feb.
6, that revolution took place on the 1st.
OF january, in which LINERS triumphed.
and is now completely master as Viceroy
OF the city. 1t seems that the marriage of
his daughter with a young man of the name
of Perichon, which was contrary to law.
disguised the people generally, who were,
besides, very DESTROYS To elect Junta, in
imitation of Seville, sc. The Cabildo
met, and the usual elections took place on
the first OF Jan. after which, previous dispo-
sitions having been made by arming, &c. on.
both sides, to decide the matter by force, in
case OF necessity, a negotiation took place
between the Cabildo * LINERS, regarding
ms lt,ing down the sovereign authority.
At length the heads of that body went to
the Fuesfe to treat personally with the
Viceroy, when, up went the draw bridge,
and they were quickly marched Through
the Puerto del Socorro to the water side.
put on board the Schooner, and have been
sent off, nobody knowns where; but it is
supposed that the voyage was not a long
one, since IL is known there were very few
provisions on board. The names of those
who thus put themselves into the trap are
-AIzaga, ViIlanueva, Sta. Coloma, Ware.
la, aud another.
As a proof that this revolution is altope.
Their in favor of France, we only need state,
that the aforementioned Perichon is a
F'renchman by birth, and is the person
who was charged by Liniers with Dispatch
es tor Bonepsrte, giving an account of his
defence OF Saenos Ayres against the Bril-.
tish under general Whitelocke, and was.
on his return from France though Span,
on his way back To South America, in
May or June of last year, apprehended
in Andalusia, by order of the Junta Of
Seville, and confined in Cadiz, from
whence 1t would appear he effected his es.
cape.
The event which has thus taken place,
though unfortunate for the patriotic cause
o. Spain, has removed every dilfculty
which DISTRACTED the course of operations
that It might behove the government of
this country to pursue III concert with the
prince OF the Brszi!s. Monte Vldeo still
holds out against LINERS, and must be pre-.
vented from falling under his authority, or
the whole of Spanish America may be
lost.
Ii is to be apprehended, that the Ere nch
squadron which sailed some time since
from L'Orient, may have proceeded to the
Rio de la Plata.--BeiPs Messenger.
