S'sy prior 70 tl,e concentration of the French
corps, s. underthe movements of the Russi
ans, they will cross to the left side of the Da-
nuhe; the movements upon Pressburg will
precede these in time to be known and the
centre, under Bonaparte, will pass the Da-
nubc, while the wings of both armies are
fuuering. The approach of the Russians
must necessarily cause the first Austrian
corps to fall back as its left is threatened
by the French under Bernadottc the rear
OF the Austrians must he protected from the
mcuaced approach of Prince Eugene, from
the lower Danube the Austrians must now
form their line parallel to the Danube, and
the duty of the Russians will be to bear upon
their right, which must fight the Russians or
fall back; to fight would be to risque the
whole army; to bring up the centre. would
be TO leave the rear open to the French main
body, and the obvious resource of the arch.
duke will be to place the line Of the Rosbach
in his front i; and here probably the most san
Sainary battle that history will have to re-
cord, will be fought, in which all the genius
Of war will be brought into effort and acti i
on.
But will this action close the war! Tn no
issue will the war be closed by this vet un-
named battle. The fugitives will retire up
OH Hungary; and there as in Spain, the war
WILDE protracted. But Prussia, which has
will meet the fate prepared by Burke for
France, it will be erased from the mai of
Europe, and its territory, which now re-
sembics the device upon n monks benny,
will be distributed, a leg to each OF the three
adjacent nations. Denmark will be aggran-
died with continental territory, Austrian
Poland will be rcincorporated with its anci-
ent nation; and perhaps the nation restored
tothe map; the Turkish diadem will disap-
pear in Europe and the grand project of Ka-
Uterine III. will be accomplished, by placing
Constantine OF Russia, on the throne of Ire
bisnnde. Bavaria will be aggrandized, Stvria,
Croatia, Carinthia. Carniola, will furnish
dnkedoms for French marshals, and close all
access but in peace. from Austria to the A
Siriatic. Spain will sink with the house of
Lorraine; and Bohemia may be compensa
ton to Saxony for the Duchy of Warsaw.

From due Consideration of the treatment
which the government and citizens of the u
nited States, have, for several years, expe
rienced from the nations of Europe, and the
unreasonable prohibitions and depredations
practised on, and against the commerce of
this country, it becomes the bounden duty of
every citizen of the Union, touse all fair and
honorable means for cnunteracting these in
Engagements of our national rights. and since
experience as well as the history of man
kind, proves, that the independence of ma.
ton is directly proportional to the extent
and variety of its internal resources, it be-
comes, likewise, the dcty Of every citizen
TO endeavor to introduce and encourage
whatever may have tendency to lessen our
mercantile dependence on other nations, and
70 Increase the wealth Of our own. Among
the various means for promoting these ends,
