GOO.OOO men which %Ire certainly have not, Fran :and.nas shewn Europe that she can send ti-si-x.tbs of them beyond her frontiers; whilst, with the efforts of Several armies, and with the must active recruiting; for three years, we can scarcely eetxlir ourlc*ss"  stets within bourids the Persians and Titrilnt able to send 10;',060 men to a foreign territOry.  When affairs are evidently in such:a state that it is impossible for us, in this respeEt, to, have any hope of deceiving others, would it not be wiser for us to occupy ourselves in repairing the Misfortunes sVhich we have 'caused upon the Continent, in remet!) mg those which we have drawn 'upon ourselves, in endeavouring to renovate our Army, to re-establish our commerce, and renew our consideration in Europe ? If we are not, -sufficiently powerful to establish our influence by force, we ire,perfeelly enabled to succeed by negotiation and prudenee. Of all nations France is the only one which can put on foot armies more considerable than those which she had announced. The other Powers always deceive those who are disposed to believe them, and finish ,by deceiving themselves. Who would flatter himself with being able to frighten the Emperor of the French by the foolish assertions of an, Ukase, published at St. Petersburgh—what will be, the consequence ? By proclaiming that we will levy 120,000 men, we afford him a pretext to make an effe6,tive levy -of-a number, and thus still to increase his immense armies.  Moniteur ; but we know that no Paper published in France, or in any 'part 'of ;the Continent within the grasp of French Pos,.ver, dare insert such an article without the authority of the French Go!. vernment. The murder 'of .M.::PALm, of Nuremburgh, was not necessary to convince us of the despotism exercised by BOI‘TAPARTE over the Continental Press. There are three other articles in the French Papers, purporting to come' from. Petersburgh, Dresden, and Cassel, to which the same observation applies, viz. that they are French fabrications: The object of the articles from Dresden and Cassel is to convince the People of France, that in the ,event of a War between Franceand Prussia, the ELECTO:IS of SiiortY. and HESSE would not take Ott with 'the ~latter. the pretended Letter from St. Petersburgh contains a justification of M. D'Ouaatr..„ and some ' sneering observationi upon the Russian Army. The Moniteur of the 'lsth states, that a delay has arisen in the return of the Grand Army from Germany, and consequently that the Fetes are postponed. It then adds that Botia,Aart intends to take a • journey in the middle of the autumn, to .Brussos, and perhaps to Holland; and that he will. repair in a- few days'to Fcnitainblean. We. are very much deceived if this journey is not fur a more important objea than a mere visit to Brussels or Holland. Generals NE,l"hiAl'otr. sr, and AUGEREALIhave received permission to repair to Paris, prOably to concert a plan of operations against Prussia. The French Eundi are declining a little—on the 13th they :wpm 64. and, ,on the 62. go.  Wise men who c.uly desire the prosperity of their country, hold, one and. all, this language. Those of the opposite 'Party; that is to say, those who wish for War, say that we are too far distant from 'France to be attacked, and not strong enough to do her any injury; we Can,still carry on the War in Turkey, raise an Insurpfttion in those Provinces which do- not profess Islamism, restore the Greek RAigiOn, and make the Black' Sea.a Russian Lake. They will not listen to sensible people, who reply that these great projects cannot succeed ; that' after some years of painful and dangerous efforts, sickness, the plague, and :the Turkish sabre, will weaken: our armies,, that France will then come to. the aid of the Ottoman Empire ;;and, lastly, that' We cannot hope to persuade Prussia, Austria, and England, longer than it suits them, to suffer us to annihilate a great empire, unless we succeed in spite Of them.
