HOLY ALLlANCE.-Extract of a
private letter of the I'd inst. fromFrank
fort:-"The Franconian Journals
speak of a quaarupis alliance, or En-
ropean central alliance, projected be-
tween Russia, Austria, Prussia and
France, the object of which is to watch
over the maintenance Of the tranquil
ty of Europe. In this intelligence
there are three things worthy OF re-
mark:-1. The silence kept upon Eng
land, to which such an alliance woulG
seem TO attribute principles different to
those OF the other powers. 2. The no
less singular silence upon the compact
of the Holy Alliance, whose principles
of justice charity, and religion, are
suf1icientties to the European Govern
ments, by placing the great and small
States upon the same rights. 8. The
remarkable anxiety that it would seem
is manifested for the maintenance Of
tranquility at a moment when the ma
tons are very Submissive and very
~pesceable, aud when the only elements
Of fermentation are the stagnation OF
commerce, the disproportion between
the necessities and the resources, the
weight of taxes and other inconyenien-
ces which attach to political Institutions,
and not to the opinions or sentiments
of the people. Nevertheless, as our
Journals are underline censorship, and
this intelligence is presented under mon
archical colours, some attention. should
be paid to It."
