Since the accejfcn of Napoleon Bonaparte to his imperial 1 and roj&l flat ton on the political thea tre of Eurspe, he has uniformly aPea on the defsnftve ; and has occaftonally offered peace to England, bis gredt and ‘atable enemy, as ‘well as to other nations fiimulated to arifis by the in fluence cf Britifh emjfarUs. ht is fluid, however , that the conquefls of Spain and Portugal tire exceptions to the general line cf his conduit . But it is probable that he is too great an adept in rational policy, and too much attached to his Qtvn interefl, to become the voluntary dupe cf Britifh intrigue. He mu ft have forefecn his own very inierefting r flounces fevered from the continent cf hurope by the very power of his own arms in the conquefis cf theft countries vohofe pojfefforts in A merica, under his immediate influence, had filed his own coffers with more than all the wealth of the ancient world , It can hardly be imagined that the emperor of the French, know ing the fupsriority of the Britifh navy , would willingly have put into the power of England bis whole inter eft and influence in Braflil and Spanifh America . It cannot fairly be pre flume and that, poftfled of all his martial abilities, and political capacities, he would voluntarily abandon fetch vaft inters ft and reflources to his moft in flexible enemy. He cannot be compar ed to the boy, in the fable, whoje goeftp laid the golden eggs . It has been fluid, in a pater tinder Britifto influence, that the emperor Alexander had acceeded to the ccali fhn between Auftria , England, and the go vernment of the Porte, and had made a formal declaration cf war a gap ft France. But how dees this report accord with accounts from Prune eft The emptrer of RuJJia has required the affemblage of a congrtfs at Taffy, in Moldavia , to whom he has declared his determination to re tain under his authority the countries bordering on the left cf the Danube, which had been Jo long the flour ce of quarrels with the Turks. The mi mfter of the Porte at Taffy opprfled the occupation, and Jet eft for Ccn ftantinople, but a powerful Ruffian fores had already arrived in aid of the Emperor's determination. Tkefe ft vs*'a l reports are ft widely variant in their import that it mu ft hi admit ted they border on dir eft contradiction. Jr, cafe Alexander had declared again ft France and in favor of tbs coalition, he would not, at the flame time have declared a gain ft the government of the Pens, one cf the combined powers.—— The notoriety cf a public congreft at Taffy , and tbs marching cf a power ful army , fsr the purpefe cf taking poftefljion of a large country , are cir- CHwftances offuch authenticity that we are inclined te believe that the pre tended declaration cf war by the Ruffian emperor againft France is die get her fabulous and grcundlefls .

Whca the war in Spam commr*need, ori der the fuppoffd machinations cf France, the participation of Great Britain in fupporr of the Spam 111 patriots, was dc xued a hudabic trait in the Brifidh rheraffur, by politicians of all parties,-—except, the few who had fathomed the Brit ifh policy, by tracing as with the dew of Ariadne Tithe windings 6f the labyrinth of Britifh intrigue.— In cale of luccefs in that enterprise, England muft have re-eftabiifhed O the ancient government of Spain as an cftenfible ad. or great national joffice ; but, at the fam: uh:-c, file would have placed that go vers?*- ment under her particukr gusrdien fhip and protection ; aa a in (u:h cafe, would ha/e enjoyed all the advantages of which (he is now tfi pcflc illon 3 arlfi? )ft {Voin Spanilh A -and this too, under the fi * • cial guarantee of the legitimate f■ - vereign of the Spaiffh colonies.— Those colonies were not in a ilate of iniurrc & i o n ror i nfubordinatian ; they acknowkdg .-d their to their lawful fovtreigi.
