A MAP OF EUROPE,
ON - THE NEW PROJECTION ;
Or, Wo.king mth present Century hie the lait.
From the Aurora.
The scheme of power, which we imagine
we can perceive in the events that have re
cently unfolded themselves, after the battle of
Fried!and, appears to be of this character.
All the other powers arid states, will be vas
sals cr dependants on one or the other of these
two.
An alliance will subsist between these two i
empires, for the maintenance of peace, and the j
integrity of their subordinate states.
The laws of nations will be revised and re- !
duced to rational principles, by the talents and
wisdom—and established by the united power
of these two empires.
The ocean will be declared’ the common
right of all nations.
And it is not out cf the bounds of probability
that, by a common determination, there will not
be admitted to be carried on board any vessel of
any kind, more than the ammunition necessa
ry for signals, or tor foreign commerce.
‘ The multitude of noble conceptions which
such a scheme of empire awakens, every intel
ligent mind wifi feel —they w ill not admit of
compression in a hasty newspaper specula
tion.
The scheme of modern empire, we suppose,
will be as follows :
Alexander—Emperor of the East.
Bonaparte—Emperor of the West.
Each empire to contain eight or more king
doms, twelve or more principalities, and a rela
tive proportion of inferor titularies—<ch con
federated under its ciicf—and the chiefs of
both empires united by the common interests
which they will have in naiiitaining each other.
We shall suppose th; eastern empire to
consist of the follow ing kngdoms :
THE EASTER! EMPIRE.
Empire— Russia —the ciicf of this Eastern
confederacy.
Kingdoms—l. Roland —Murat, king
2. Constantinople —prince Constantine,
king of Gfcece.
3. Denmark —The Irince Royal.
4. Dalmatia —A kinj to lie named.
5. Prussia —The present king.
6 Saxony —The prevent king.
7. Sweden —Bernadote, prince of Pon
te Corvo.
8. England —A king t> be named.
9. Ireland —general Clarke, minister at
at war.
10. Anew kingdom to be formed
THE WESTERN EMIIUE.
Empire France —Bonaparte, chief.
Kingdoms—l. Austria —The present empe
ror as king.
2. Hungary —The Archduke Charles.
3. Hanover —Prince Jerome, king of
Westphalia.
4. IVirtcmberg —The present king.
b. H Aland —Eugene Beau llama's, now
v iceroy of Italy.
6. Baden —Lhc present king.
7. Bavaria —The present king.
8. Italy—— Joseph Bonaparte, now king
of Naples.
9. 7be Two Sicilies —Lucian Bonaparte.
10. Spain —A king, who will unite Por
tugal therewith, and give
the provinces in exchange
to the French emperor.
Such is the scheme, or some such, which we
apprehend likely to he established in Europe.
The l ui kisli power will be forced across the
Hellespont, and permitted to constitute a mon
archy there, under the guarantee of both the
emperors of Europe ; and to propose a simi
lar confederation for Asia, in connection with
the two European potentates.
The following account of the last aerial ex
cursion ol Mr. Blanchard, is copied from a lata
Dutch paper :
The 61st air voyage of the famous Mr. Blan
chard, being the 11th of his lady, was perform
ed the 3d of August, near Rotterdam. Though
every prospect appeared very favorable for the
intended voyage, yet it was disturbed by an un
fortunate accident. A quarter after 6 o’clock,
the beginning was made with filling the Mont
goltierc, and before half past seven o’clock the
balloon was perfectly ready, and left the ground;
but unfortunately took hold by an iron wire, on
which it before had been fastened ; loosened it
self violently, and received a large rift, which
occasioned the flying off of the balloon against
a large tree, and thereby got an opening. Nev
ertheless, the voyage would have been crown
ed with success, had not the baboon, in raising
into the air, been encountered by a whirlwind,
which brought the gallery into disorder, and
enlarged the opening.
This e\ er-before fortunate air-traveller, now
fell out of the balloon ; first upon the top of a
house, and from thence on the ground, bv
which he received a large contusion on his
head, but is however in a state of recovery.
It appeared Madame Blanchard would have
escaped better by falling first on some trees ;
but the agitation of seeing the descension of
her husband, made such an impression upon
her organs of speech, that she is now in a kind
of dumb and lifeiess state.
The chief thing for which wealth and high
stations are desirable, is the opportunity of doing
good.
To give away to others while we do not pay
onr debts, is neither justice nor true genero
sity.
FRENCH MILITARY EDUCATION.
The philosopher who undertakes to inves
tigate tlie causes of the present military supe
riority of the French, will, perhaps, be inclined
to attach some importance to the facts contain
ed in the following anecdote :
It is well known, that in the course of last
winter, part of the pupils of the Prytanevm, at
Paris, lcit that city to receive appointments as
officers in the grand army in Poland. The route
of these youths, of whom many had not obtain
ed their lull stature, and others had a weakly
appearance, though they were neither so small
noe so weak as were formerly many subalterns
in the Prussian army—led them through Ber
lin. An officer accompanied them in quality
of an inspector. Thyy passed one night in the
capital.
A well informed inhabitant of the city, who
had formerly been in the service, and possess
ing considerable military attainments, had oc
casion to be in the neighborhood of their quar
ters. Their juvenile appearance induced him
to ask the officer who accompanied them,
whether these youths would be capable of
enduring the fatigues and dangers of field
encampments in a northern climate, at so in
clement a season, and in such a country as Po
land! The officer, who seemed to be a polite
and sensible mao, made this reply :
“ These young men, sir, can scarcely be
subjected to any contingency for which they
are not perfectly prepared by education and
practice. You are mistaken if you imagine
that the empevor Napoleon considers theoreti
cal instruction sufficient for a soldier! our
institution goes farther, a great deal farther.
All these youths whom you here see, have
had much more experience than many officers
in actual service in other armies. Their con
stitution is early inured to all the prejudicial
influences, which menace the practical sol
dier. Among these young men, there is not
one but what has worked with his own hand
at the construction of real forts—not one but
w hat has stood centinel whole nights together.
Ail of them have slept many cold and tem
pestuous nights in the open air, and next day
performed a march of 16 or 18 leagues ; have
climbed lofty mountains, beneath the scorching
rays of a meridian sun ; have swam, some
times in their clothes, sometimes without,
through impetuous rivers and chilling streams ;
have even been obliged to abstain for whole
days from food, and during the hottest weather
f:om drink, that they might learn to endure all
possible inconvenicncies incident to a soldier’s
life, and that they might be Ultimately acquain
ted with them before they were involved in
them by necessity. Nothing would terrify
them in an uncommon degree ; for, in the
sham-fights in our institution, the rapier is
thrown away after the first few hours, and a
sharp sword is put into the hands ot the pupils.
If any of them receive a wound, he has nothing
but his own aukwardness to blame for it. It is
his business to protect himself by his superior
ity. Would you now repeat your question r”
It is easy to conceive what a happy effect
such a practicable education must have upon
the soldier in the higher ranks ! what may be
expected of an officer thus prepared for every
event? That the conduct of their leader ope
rates with a powerful impulse on all those who
are under his command, is iv>t to be denied.
Exercise begets courage and energy, and at
a period when war is a trade, those who pos
sess these two qualities in the highest degree,
must predominate.
ROBERT KER PORTFR.
Respecting this celebrated painter, who is a
native of New-York, and who painted the Pano
rama of the Battle of / odi, lately exhibited in
America, we find the following paragraph in a
recent English paper :
“ Mr. Ker Porter, whose talents as an artist
have been so conspicuous, and have been so
justly admired in this country, went to Russia
some time ago, where he was received with
great attention. He was particularly honored
by the kindness of the emperor Alexander.—
But he has l>een still more fortunate, for, on
paying a visit to Moscow, where he remained
some time, lie captivated the heart of the Prin
cess Shcbatoff, a lady of considerable rank and
fortune.
The family do not object tolhe union, which
has, most probably, by this time, taken place,
with the sanction of the emperor. Our fortu
nate young countryman is a man of considera
ble abilities, which are not con lined within his
trade. He is, besides, remarkable for manly
spirit, good-lmmour, and exemplary in the du
ties and affections of a son and brother. The
princess is entirely independent of her family,
possesses three palaces, besides extensive terri
torial property, and is very pleasing in person,
and amiable in character.”
London, September 4.
Major-general Grant has announced the dis
covery of the longitude, by a mathematical in
strument which shews the rate of a ship’s sail
ing, with the greatest accuracy. This instru
ment is connected with others, which point out
the rate of the ship, her latitude and longitude,
in direct or obiique sailing.
The MSS belonging to the Stuart familv,
about which so much has been said, and to in
spect which Mr. Fox was understood to have
been induced to visit Paris a few years ago for
historical purposes, arc. according to report,
now in this country. An envelope, stating that
the contents were those papers, was, we arc
informed, exhibited at the secretary of state’s
office some months ago, and it is not unlikely
to be produced again before ford Lllenbc
rcugh, . .
THE NAVY*.
The enemies of the administration arc reviv
ing their old clamors about a navy for the pro
tection of our commerce. i hey seem to be
governed by the resolution to stick to their tr
iors to the end of the chapter.
As these opponents of republican policy
boast of wise heads—heads which put Solo
mon's v\ isdoni to the blush—we suppose they
will admit that a navy, to be useful, must be
competent to the end to which it is intended.
Now what is that end ?
The protection of American commerce.
That is, not the protection of a few ships—.
but the piotection of all ships belonging to the
citizens of this country in every part ol the
globe.
For this purpose we must have a stro’ g nava
forcc in the West-Indies and along the tvpaa
nish main.
A strong naval force along our own coast,
from Newfoundland to the Gulf of Mexico.
A strong naval force in the English and
Irish channels, the Baltic, in the Mediterra
nean, in the seas beyond the Cape of Good
Hope.
What force would it require to do all this ?
Allow 100 sail of the line.
Well : this fotce, you may say, would keep
off’ marauders, freebooters, privateers, at and per
haps a king’s ship occasionally.
But if Great Britain were determined to mo
lest-its, would 100 or would 200 sail of vessels
of war be sufficient to oppose her ?
Why did the Danes not send out their navy
to combat that of England ? Because they knew
it would only fall a.sacrifice. Yet they have a
naval force not at all contemptible.
Great Britain has upwards cf 1000 vessels of
war. Now, if vve had 100, it is clear the English
would have more then ten to one —a difference
rather too great to contend with.
100 vessels of war would he no obstacle-to
the British—they would attack 11s jt st as soon
if we had that number as if v.e had only one
ship of war. Then why build a puny navy,
which our enemy would snap up jnstantrr ?
Bui such a navy would cost the people of
this country a great deal of money—more mo
ney in fact, than all the profits of all our com
merce woijld come to.
Is commerce worth defending at such a
price ?
Who would pay more for a thing than it-is
worth ?
Why do not these animals who arc always
bleating out for a navy, calculate the cost ? Let
them do that, then let them sit down and cast
jp the amount of profit from all our com
merce ; and strike the balance. That is the
way to come at the truth.
But is there tobe no defence for the country?
Surely there is. Reasonable fortification's,
;ssisted by gun boats and batteries, at points
iccessary to be particularly guarded.
This ought to Ire sufficient for rational mcti.
Yet nothing will satisfy some growlers but mea
sjves that would injure the country ; and it is
verily believed that the object of those who are;
howling for a navy, is merely to plunge the li.
States into utter ruin.— Balt. American.
COUNTERFEITERS.
We learn that that the noted Stephen Bur
roughs was taken last week in his barn, at Stan
stead, Canada, and that he was conveyed from
thence to Montreal. He had a room complete
ly finished in his hay-mow, 10 by 15 feet, where
he kept all his apparatus, and pursued his lu
crative business. In this recluse he was taken,
after attempting in vain to discharge* his pis
tol at the officer, which he snapped several
times without effect. Sixteen hundred dollars
in counterfeit bills were found with him, signed,
and ready for traffic ; and about as many more
printed, which had not the legal signa ure affix
ed to them— Danville paper.
By a person directly from Stans'.ead, we aro
informed, that after travelling a couple of davs
with his escort, Burroughs made his escape
from them, by jumping fiom a chamber in
which was a guard of four men, and is r.ow ‘Jfc
liberty.— Pulit. Obxerv.
On Thursday last, [Sept 26th] Daniel Bora
and Edward Burroughs , son of the noted Ste
phen Burroughs , were apprehended at Leban
on on suspicion of counterfeiting money, ajxl
brought before justice Kendrick for examina
tion. Evidence sufficient to render their guilt
quite probable being produced, they were ac
cordingly ordered to recognize in the sum of
1000 dollars each, and for want of bonds, to
stand committed until the next session of ti e
supreme court. They passed through this
town on Saturday oil their way to Haverhill
jail ; their trial will corne on in October next.’
Search was made and 1,400 dollars in coun
terfeited bills, (bills principally of Cheshire,
Smlthfield and Maine Banks) were found in
their possession. The young pupil Burroughs,
has commenced his career in early life, his age
not exceeding 18 or 19 years.— Han. Guz.
The papers printed in the Canadas continue
to be filled with accounts of the reviews of the.
militia in those degraded appendages of the
B itish empire, and of the military ardor and
devotion to his majesty which is every’ where
displayed. We would inform these printers
that they may save themselves the trouble of
attempting to deceive us. We have other
means of information besides their newspapers,
by all which we are assured, that a bold refrac
tory spirit actuates at least one half of the peo
ple, who do not hesitate to avow their prefer
ence of the American government to their own,
and who, if an army from the states should ap
pear among them, would instantly eurol them
selves among the advocates cf freedom — Poii\
Observatory.
