LoNDoN, March 2-Wc certainly did hope TO
witness the complete overthrow OF the actual gov
erDment ot France and that such also was the SIM
cere wish OF the greater majority OF his maJestys
ministers, is q truth which cannot be controverted
We do not hesitate to ASSERT, that the opinion OF the
cabinet was decidedly IN favor OF the siren
u0us cooperation Of this country, TO accomplish so
desirable end The dispatches brought by Mr..
Robinson produced, however, an effect directly con-
trary to those wishes An insuperable obstacle TO
any plan which night have for its object the de-
hroning and dena,oralizing of Bonaparte was found
IN one OF the leading powers OF Europe, coniedefa-
ted as they were for chassing the terocity and eX-
uiguIsnng the ambition of the common enemy.
That power was Austria The Emperor Francis was
indeed willing to check The inordnate encroachments
ofthe ruler France, set fixed and precise bounds
to his territorial influence vassallages and dependcn-
cies, 10 nitct upon HIM IN the heart OF his own do
mlnions retiibutne punishment; but there he stop
ped lie could not consent that his son-in law should

Russia, OF Prussa, and OF Eng land, proved equally
unavaiing, and it was found necessary 10 yield 10
the inheXible detcrminaton of power which, by a
single movement Of 10000 men could turn the
scales that held the balance Of Europe. The reluc-
tant, the forced, the painful Acquescence OF Alex
ander and OF Frederick William, consequently led
to the still reluctant assent of Great-Brtaln.
The necessity or the measure was apparent, and we
think are but doing common ustce to the heart
and head of Lord Castlereagh III supposing that be

the firm conviction of the dangers arising from any
treaty with the Emperor Of France. Hence sprang
the return OF Mr Robinson-hence the sudden change
of sentiment IN the British oabiuet-and hence the
adjournment Of both Houses of Parliament to the
2lst inst.
March 3-The further adjournment of ,Parlia-
ment to the 2lst inst. deemed necessary in the
present state OF affairs on the Continent. Austria
having positively refused to listen any propositions
tor excluding the present ruler from the throne OF
France, notwithstanding all remons,rances from q.
Britain, Russia, and the other Allies IT is supposed
that the assent of our Ministry will be vcn,though
with great reluctance, to treaty with the present
Government of that country,
Hamburger yet holds out; but in the late affair
the enemy under Davoust was defeated, with the
loss ot 9O0 among whom were some officers.
