Jubii.f.e.»—Threis every rea- fon to fuppofe, that a peace ‘s now concluded between Franc* and Auftria; that is to lay. that the latter has, in due form, fubmitted to the domination of the former, which former, beitobferved,the king has, upon a very recent occafton, declared to be our inveterate enemy. Wei 1 then, here is our molt powerful friend and ally, bent down, at lafl, beneath this our enemy. But, it is towards the event, now naturally to be exported, that we are to look ; for the fubdu- ing of Auftria is, in fart, the mere fignal for the great and fteady proceedings againft En gland.

In. fhort, when we foe the Wellefleys come away, we may be fure, that, in their o- pinion at leaf!, the house is about to fall. But, whether they come away or remain, the fhort of the matter is, that, with the excep tion, perhaps, of the penfioned poet,Fitzgerald,the editor of the fad finking Morning Poft, and a few fucli ones, there is nobody who does not expert to fee Jo- naval and military protnotion it feems, when we have already ten times as many admirals perhaps, as are employed, and when we have more generals than Bonaparte has!

Oh! ho,v they a.- bufed the new emperor for pur* chafing the (bouts of the ignQ» rant and venal with the money wrung from the Tenfible and ho- neft and induflrious part of thft French nation ; how repeatedly and how fmcerely did they piiy the good people of that country, who were, as they laid, compel led to put on a face of joy, while, their hearts were full of grief l And, who can hive forgotten* that within thefe fix wo<-ks, they* attributed the general illumina- * tion at Madrid, an*! even the- I'e Deum Ring in the churches, to the fears, the selfishness, or the hypocricy of the people, u hfi • partook in it.—Well, then- will _ they no'w repeat, that the r< join ings at Madi id were the effect*a of the ball-ft of all human feel- ings ?
