The foeech of Mr. Wilberforce,
(fays a late London paper) at the
condo lion of the examination,
though it could not command a
majority, having to ihuggle with
much unmalleable and r dud ant
matter, made an extraordinary ipn
prtflion or. the Houfe. The con

the loui.Vit aDplaufe, and well wor
thy of his high moral character:
cc Of all vices to which public
men are addiffed, that of being go
verned by a mill re Is was molt ex
tenfivcly pernicious. The nuftrefles
of Princes had at ail times been the
. banc of the public good : France
under many of her kings, had been
ruined by the proftitutes of her
court. We have Hill a nearer ex

he fchems of the Auftrian cam

as the lever upon which relied the

can courts, ar.d it was not to be
queftioneefi that the vices of Prin
ces, chit fly in this way, had been
the means of their punifhment
throughout the continent of Eu
rope. Good Heaven ! Might
not the enemy have employed this
very Mrs. Clark as a tpy ! Her
character was fit for every thing.
In the moment of laxity and vo
’ luptuoufnefs file mighc have llolen
from her unguarded keeper the
fee rets of the iatej—-and a fpy in

citadel of fafery, (he might have

virtue. Let us L %; sly the public,
who demand his dikniifal, by foil
citing it from them, whole fervants
we are; and above all let us re
member, that the confyjnmate aind
lad: vice of nations is a contempt of
Gftice which is hbod-winked before

At this time, if the tongue of the

Ihe rapid movements and ufual
fuccefj of the. Emperor ‘of
French and kingof Italy feem to in
dicate the enttre*fubWa?-f? v of'the
continent of 4Eui^p^^t h o^tpti s
France j ?Snd this too, in a very
fhort time ; perhaps, indeed, before
the end of the prefenc campaign ;
vvith the exception only of the poL
lemons of Alexander Emperor of
Ruifia. On tht 24th of April laff,
Napoleon promifed that before a
month he would be, with his army,
nt Vienna. Hehasufually keot his
word on fimilar occafions. From
the celerity cf prefent events it
would feem rhat, ere long, the Aus
trian dominions, over run by the
armes of France, will receive anew
fovereign from the hand of the im
perial and royal conqueror. And
in cafe Francis fiiould not raife the
fit ge of Pal Da and luffe to Ecu re
himfelf in fome lurking place in the
mountains of Bohemia, with the
arch duke Charles, Napoleon, in
all probability, will fecure him in a
cage and tranfport him co Fontaine
bleau, where he may confole him-
Flf for the lofs of an empire with
Charles the fourth and Ferdinand the
feventh of Spain.
After the conqueff of Auftria,
there remains only the Ottoman
Empire, whole weak and puliilani
tnous conilitution will render it an
Cdf/ prey to the brave and ambi
tious Napoleon. The admiruftra
tion of this government, wavering
’a its policy, on the approach ci
every diplomatic feducer becomes
faeinated with gilded treachery and
fplendid overtures of high founding
Coalitions. They often fi'rm alli
ances, arid as often abandon them.
1 Cordially inclining to proportions
ot amity, they unite with either
party, but when danger approaches,
a dereliftion from friendfiilp, they
equally facilitate. Now, in the
fi rifle it alliance with England,
fhould the weftern zephyrs an
nounce the flame of conqueft ap
proaching on the arms of France,
quick, as the electrical flafh, would
their policy be changed, ahd the
friendly crofs hauled from the rriaff
head, and the tricoloured flag erect
ed !—The fluffuating policy and
infUbility of this government have
rendered her as dangerous in alii
a nee, as defpicable in the field..—
The Emperor of the French will
not court her friend Chip, nor accept
of her alliance, under the prefent
form of her government : But
in ail probability he wili, ere
long, defiroy the whole race of the
Janifiaries, dethrone the effeminate,
luxurious monarch, and incorpo
rate the Turkifh territories into the
Irrmcjife dominions of his own em
pire. Under the government of
Napoleon, modern Greece would
probably aliume her ancient dignity
and fpler.dor. Turks thcmlelves
would become regenerated and fill
into the Grecian phalanx. Sciences
and arts would again fiourifii on an
cient Claflic ground. Slavery
would ccale. And new fight,
with all the aid of modern difeove
rit r, would invigorate the Grecian
genius, and reiterated, fifine re
fulgent amidft all the elegant and
fplendid improvements ot modern
nations. Italy fss not forgotten
her ancient heroes, nor Greece her
unrivr aryd accomplilhments. Sliould
loch be the effeffs of conqueft, is it
not tr a confummation devoutly to
be wifhed
If we may judge from appearan
ces we may realbna-bly anticipate the

already ’dM<fcpß^pal s dts4 ac-h'iovc-
pfapon, and
3sT the Ganges —and’
ouft the Britifh from all their poi
felnons in the eaft. It is true chat;
thcle things are not lo caliiy effeff
ed as they are imagined. And
may even be attended with more
difficulces in the prefent age, accor
ding to the modern rules of warfare
chan they were in the days of
Zencphon and Alexander the great.
But in cafe Napoleon fKouid ever
attempt to march an army to Km
doilon, it is probable that he would
tranfport thole- mighty mac inner of
human dtftruclior. —his heavey ar
tillery and magazines by water more
than three-fourths of the d’.ftance—-
and query, if he could net tranfport
them even from the city of
Vienna down the Danube to the
Euxine fea, and thence by the river
Don and the W o’ga into the Cafpean
lea ? And from the fouth eaff end
of the latter, what would impede
his defeent on the Britifh poffef
fions in India ? He might even
contfruff a fufneient temporary fleet
on the flrfl navigable water of the
Ganges and complete the rranfpor
tation of his magazines and artillery
by water, down to fore William
and the city of Calcutta.
This flight of imagination may
probably be deemed extravagent to
the extreme. But it is not slTcrtecl
that thefe events wili happen, ac
Haft in any fhort time. Ic is, how
ever pofuble, and even probable
that they may happen in iefs than
ten years, if Napoleon fhould not
find the means, in id's time, of de
ftroying the government of Great
Britain.
For the prefent; the unfettled af
fairs of his late con quo fits in Spain
& Portugal, will call his attention.
He may probably, be compelled,
once more, to march a prut of his
army to Lifbon and feme of the
provinces of Spain to quell the mal
contents and exterminate the Bri
tifh arms from the whole peninfula.
Perfeff tranquility can hardly be
expeffed in a conquered country
for feme confiderabie time after
the Conqueft. Some remains cf fac
opn, inlurreffion and even confpi
ricy may be looked fcr 2 efpeciaiiy
v/here Britifh influence and intrigue
can find the leallacctfs. They are
famous for Birring up petty infur
reffions, and forming pretty fafftons
to harrafs their enemy, when from
their own imbecility they arc unable
to meet him in the field.
Thefe, however, are not the only
impediments which may retard the
more movements of the
French army. Napoleon cannot
have loft fight t that itnmenfe in
tcrefl which he has loft by the fuc
cefs of his own arms in Spain and
Portugal in confequence of the ac
knowledged fuperioritv of the Bri
tifh fleet. He 11133? be occupied m
deviling means to reinitiate his (cr
mer influence and incereft in Brafii
and Spanifh America. But as this
can only be done by the deftruffion
cf the Britifh navy, it is thought
that neither his abilities, altho’ bril
liant in the cabinet, nor his intre
pidity, altho* unrivalled in the field,
nor the phyfical force of his whole
army, altho’ crowned with the
laurels cf many victories, can ef
feff this in kfs than twenty years.
