most conclusive evidence of the COM

from the relative situation of the two

EUROPEAN PROSPECTS.

We steadily predicted the general
result of the contest between FIance *
Austria. 1t was our opinion, indeed,
that if the Spaniards and the Austrians,
as two great nations, operating in diff
ferent quarters at one and the same
time, would ql1t themselves ike men, e
ven the Colossal power of France would
be found inadequate to their complete
subjugation. As applied to great if not
to small nations, the celebrated apho-
rism of LA FAYETTE, {" For nation to
be free, it is sufficient that she wills it,
is undoubtedly correct. But this nil
must ii truth be the viii Of Nation, a
people energetic and undivided, pee
pie, like the French themselves, " one
and indivisiblc." 1t is not the momen-
tary glow Of patriotism, it is not the c
vanescent spirit of heroic zeal, bursting
out IN cities and villages, unconnected,
isolated, it is not few truly Spartan
characters, PaLafor, Blake, an dug
rez, that can resist with success the
mighty rulers of mighty empires,
" welding at will the fierce artillery"
Of great and potent armies, led by the
hero, Courage, and managed by the
sage, Discipline.

From the Virginia Patriot.
An OutcaSt.

Aaron Burr" says late London
paragraph, " is said to be in Paris, plot
ting misc hief"
Fortunately for his country, perhaps
for the world, Aaron Burr's days for
" plotting mischief" are over. He is
an outcast from his native shores,
houseless wanderer and it is probably
or about as much consequence 10 the
political world whether he is in Paris
or in Guinea, as it is to the natural world
whether he is dead or alive. There
was time when Burr might had the
hearts Of his country and secured the
applause Of ages. There was time
when by virtuous and prudenc
course of conduct, he might have stood
next to Washington and Hamilton Oh
the list Of American worthless: But he
preferred that crooked policy which
had for its object personal aggrandize-
ment, to the plain path Of patriotism
and duty ! and he has reaped the rich
and merited reward of his lAbeurs, an
old age of care, ofignominy and OF OBJ
scurity.-There was time when his
influence was second, perhaps, TO that
OF no man IN the union--nay, doubt
if there was not even a time when lie
might have kindled fame Of civil dis
cord that should have CONSUMED the ia.
brick OF our liberties, aud then have
quietly seated himself upon its ruins
Now, he that, at no distant GaY, shall
write the epitaph Of Burr may say Of
him, as Antony of Cesar
--" But yesterday, kis word
" Had stood against the world Now lies
he here,
" And none so poor, to do him reverence
The fate Of Burr is melancholy
Yet virtue cannot weep over il, because
she Is obliged to wish that All who fol-
low the same path may fail into thu
same pit. But il should prove sol
emn warming to denagogues and -
American demagogus in particular :
For if Burr, with all his talents, with III
his accomplishments and win al his
infnence, succeeded 50 I'D, VIA; hope
can there be for any other ?
