The important circular of NJ. Drouyn de rHuys,
the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, is stI a
subject OF engrossng interest; perhap, not 50 much
for any light it has thrown upon the great question
Of the day-for, indeed, in this respect, nothing is
said that was not known before but the moderation
OF its tone has called forth world of discussion ap.
parently singuary congenal to the fertile Partisan
mind. The Emperor, say some, treats Russia as .
wise should always treat bis foeas one in whom
be may one day find friend
Think you, they add, that Napoleon intends to
proceed side by side to go all lengths with England
to fling into the lap Of that nation whom his uncle
apty termed nation of shopkeepers," all the rich
military mcterieI OF France? No such thing. He
measures too accurately his own positions he will
go just 50 far as to commit England TO the war;
be will even share the honor or odium, as
parties may please to esteem IL, OF its first
struggles and successes. His fleet shall bear the
tricoor in companioDship with the union jack,
a French canIonsde shall wake the echoes wherever
an English gun IS fred but there will be limit to
all this. Do you no. perceive that Napoleon has
never yet uttered word which prevents him from
withdrawing from she contest she moment Russia,
By some nominal concession, shall permit him to say
he has no further anxiety for the equilibrium Of Eu
rope England, once fairly implicated in the war,
do ven nofsee that it cannot last six months wi.houl
its whole nature being chaDged-thst it will Assume
such general chayacter that the D,nu0sn provinces
and ConstantinopleA self will be mere dr6p in the

For three hun dred years England acd Russia have
been perfect Siamese Twins in their alliance. Toe
