Rome, which was finally mistress of the
world, was able to make III ten CENTURIES

sage Of % days from Cork. BY her the edi

Cork Papers to the 2lst ult. which contain
London dates to the 18th, four days later than
our previous advices. The most important
news is, that there appears TO be a prospect OF
a war between Russia and Francs.
We should no; be surprised to hear, by the
next short passage, Gudging from what we
have before u.s. that the French armies had
been ordered from Spain and Portugal to a
climate more coEgeDial to the health OF the
solliery,

Mr Foster was about cnbarhins nothing
relative TO the orders in council, which, 10
doubt, will remain as at present till some time
after the arrival OF Mr.. Foster in this country,
unless (Which is not probably the French
should do away their DEGREES.
Letters from Constantinope of the 10th Of

had gained victory over the Russians, who
had lost four thousand dead on the field of

=, .r;car- bosom, that France shouid sue
sa..I..,,;nst her Invaders. In short ume'
s.,r.,vcr. things wore very different aspect
Erance became an s.ssaiIant, tar and near. iier
1,o,xar became tremendous, and her anloition
r. orh;tant. There was clear evidence OF her
he;no inhan1ed with the thirst Tor conquest
and IF her aspiring at universal dominio".
REPUBLICS as well as kingdoms were tfsinpiSo
under her feet.
And then it was, that all who exercised
GOOD sense, sobcrly and without PrcJuuice'
forsook her cause. They clearly saw, t'at' oy
breaking down the balance OF Europe, anti
becop,ing its mistress, she might become inc
mistress of the world, and that this was her
real object. The same motives that induced
them to wish success to France, no" LED them
to wish her effectually curOad ara RESTRAINED
and kept within her ancient limits ; where
she was full enough dangerous to the rest oi
the world. Never, first o. last, was It their
desire that France should be conquered; an
event that would have rendered her conquer
ors. what she is now, too powerful for any IA
ton else to be Safe.
But mad theorists and their stupid follow
ers, having fixed it as principle IN their
minds, that France was once right, cannot be
made to believe that she has ever been wrong
They have followed her with loud huzzas
through Ell the windngs of her bloody track,
and through all her turri;ude and tyranny
And now that there is left ore nation only,
which has both the means and the courage to
stop her career, they wish this nation crippled
and crushed, so that France may be all In all.
Such al,surclitcs might have bet.il thought I'M
possible, if they had not actually happened.

ELECTRICK COLUMN.

NJ. de Luc, OF Windsor, has invcntcd { ma.
chine call'd the Electrick column, which may
be considered the most important discovery
in the science of electricity since that cfthe
voltaick pile. By mems of it he set song
small bells ring ing, which continued to do
so without stopping for period of l52 days.
This long continuance renders 1t not improoa-
bic, that the weight of the clapper may be 50
adapted to the power of the apparatus, as to
cause small bels to continue ringing for years
together without intcr'uission.
