OF those editors.
That Englishmen should rejoice in the
hope of Russio being ultimately triumphant,
is not surprixing. Rnssia is the ally. aud
Franec the declared and invcterate Toe Of
Britain. The subjugalion Of Rnssia, by Eo-
sAPARrE, will tend TO accelerate the pro-
gross Of England to that revolution of gov
eminent which isinevi,able, though j, may
be distant.
But what must we think, or what can we
say of those Americans, who express the
constant wish, that BosApARrE may be van.
quishetl by the Russians. We must con.
clude, either their political views are conhn-
ed to The most limissd extent, or that foreign
attachments are paramount 10 the interests OF
their country. Russia Is united with Great
Britain, and Great B,isaia is cxer,ing every
art to injore .dmerica. The success Of Rus-
sia will augment the resources of our enemy;
and in proportion as her resources are in
creased, our prospects OF ohtaiuing "indem-
nifty for the past and security for the future"
will be Iessened IN corresponding degree.
1t is well known, that the supplies of naval
stores received from the Baltic, now consti-
tu,e the almost exclusive dependence Of G.
Britain. II the reception OF those supplies
we're interrupted, the incalculable expense
OF maintaining her navy, would compel her
to resort to just measures towards this conn
try, in order TO obtain from us those articles
of naval consumption, without which her sta
uation will be desperate indeed. II tie
French succeed IN the enforcement of the
continental system in Rnssia, the posture Of
affairs between the Bri:ish and american
governments will soon assume new, and 10
us a pleasing complexion. II, on the con-
trary, the alliance between Russia and Bril-
ain should be successful, we may expect the
wa" in which We are engaged, to be prolract-
ed, bloody and expensiAe.--i6id.

BY the late news from Eurohe, it appears
that the Russians have obtained several nd.
vantagcs over the French armies. The ac-
counts being received from England, are not
10 be relied upon as correct tor VIC know,
that almost every war in which BoSApARTE
has been engaged, has given rise to Immune
rable reports, via London, of the dispersion
or captivity Of the French troops. The Lon
don Journalists have frequently told US, in
terms Of cxultstion,of the death oi the French
Emperor sometimes by the fate Of war, al
others times by the hands OF his subjects.T he
facility with which the British editors can
impose upon the credulity Of their couniry-
men, has emboldeaed them, to proceed in
the art Of imposition to :hst degree, that
their want Of veracity is proverbisI in every
nation except their own. A recent instance
must convince us Of their total disregard Of
truth. When the news arrived in Engioad
