Baltic with such pompou. flourish of imperial words,
and who did there wonderfully little suppose this

But Austria What with Austria,

Well, of two things one: either Austria would nave
let you doand then the question requires no
or she would have played false against YOU and IN
this You hal but 10 call on hungary and itiy,

much fears and much courts but stood our ground
against that Russia besides, when you are three pow"
ers 10 fight.
Prudence, Justice and humanity, alike advised you
TO look TO Iatiors fer your allies and 10 England

men instead of looking tO9astng nations.
Whatever be my opinion about Napoleon, and your
alliarce with him. will respect your feelings, and
Will not say any thing to hurt them; yet, one consd
Grafton would recommend England we'll 10 weigh.
Napoleon is mortal man, like wbosoever else; he
may die by many many mslady; he nay be dying
az tbs very MOI eDt-who knows At all events,
Napoleon is but passing meteor-the French nation
is lasting luminary. You are allied to Napoleon;
DO you believe YOU have secured the alliance ct the
French nation No, you have not And why MOI.
Because your alliance purlorts to barter away the
freedom of Poland, Hungary, Italy, and Germany,
for the prec srous and the dlsreputabe friendship OF
the Hapsburgs snd the Brandenburgs. Such Is your
allisnce with Napoleon. Now. do you believe that
the Frehch nation restored To its sovereignty as GER
tainiy restored will be ever would sanction suct an
. alliance No by all that IS sacred to men, never,
never, never
But the question H. what have you 10 do in the SIT

To have radical cure you must penetrate to the
seat of the evil.
The real source of all your difficulties is Austria
Every child knows this. Either England fears Aus
ira 100 much or loves or more than she ought.
There is the evil DO not feer Austria; throw her

And oh. what could be done with men ike these on

To engage in a wrong direction may be- an error:
TO persist wrong direction and sacrifice life and

Shift the theaer OF the war; insist peremptorily,
on Austria eyacuating the Prncipaities ana siding
with or against you advise the Sultan grant indie
pendence TO the Rouuaiu and arm them enlist the
Polish emigration, not in Turkey, but here; mind
where the weak point OF Russia and strike there.
And wherever GoverDment Is playing false TO you.
call on the Dai,ons it Oppresses but remember that
while in matters OF internal progress you may say.
By and. by We shall come 10 that; in everything
depends on moments. Opportunity lost il campayn

Hungary will be free.
speak not from egotism / speak as Englsnds
friend Neither you hor even Napoleon can afford
sufiiceb: forces for that there. He cannot say,
like you can, Let us send last soldier; the
"polico will do st home.' He cannot; he has many
things TO guard-Psrs, France, Algers, ind watch
10 the north and the south. You have lot too many
men; he has too many eKigeboies. / repeat my
words of yore: Come what may in this war, England
stands more in need of Poland and Hungary, than
Poland and Hungary stand in need Of England.
With u.s. victory; without US, defeat disrepu-
table, insufficient armistce.
Mine is the advice, yours the choice.
