The character of Prince Eugene is well
known. As successful warrior few men
have exceeded him. Feeling the distresses
oceasloned by war, in the decline of life he
became the jealous advocate for peace
" The thirst of war;" says he, sometimes
" insinuates itself into our councils, under the
" hypocrtical cant of national honor. 1t
g dweIls on imaginary insults-It suggests
/" harsh and abusive language, and people go
g on from one thing to another until they put
g an end to the lives of half million of
g men,
Once In a numerous company where war
was the topic, he recommended g that each
g great parsonage should pay 1000 ducats per
/" annum as a war contribution, and that the
:; fine gentlemen should take the field in per-
g SON.

Times as they are, and the hrosteet before
us-When we look at the present SITUATION
of our country, and consider what are our 1u-
ture prospects, we can hardly reflect on the
picture presented to our view with that tor-
titude which ought to characterize men ana
christians. Our commerce almost annlhllated
Our wealthiest citizens distressed tor money
to meet their Almost TWO thou-
sand bankruptcies advertised IN Single state,
in the short space of about nine months, ana
names daily adding to the list. Our mechan-
les and lsborers, many of them, out OF employ
ment; and to crown the whole, our rulers
quarreling about the leaves and fishes, while
the national treasury is empty, and the sources
of revenue are nearly dried up. This picture
as disagreeable as it is, is true one; and what
serves to heighten the gloom Of it is the tho't
of the future. Instead OF better times we have
to expect worse. For the poor the prospect
is really alarming. A long cold wlnterls aP-
proaching-Fuel is rising-and though provl-
sions are plenty, there is like to be very little
labor wanting while commerce is IN Its pre-
sent situation the poor, therefore, will not be
able to buy. To the rich, the future presents
no better prospects than to the poor. lhere
are no hopes that congress will do any thing
for the benefit of commerce; but 1t IS to be
feared that further restrictions will be laid,
and it is probable that the pittance OF trade we
now enjoy will be destroyed. When the tide
will turn, no one can predict. While the pre-
sent party are in power no change Tor the bet
ter can be expected. Com, advertiser.
