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 deiUpct* *n ‘■{ H.as cf-, the Gitornan the# —•yes ancL theffc a vrili re opened for thw*^‘- rjgti. it xan anddc * to ruej&fl ‘fils sbj/fO'Kimg YAW Mm m 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.
