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. Napoleon may now be regarded as having the whole of the continent of Europe at his abfolute command, Spain b Portugal only excepted ; and, were not thofe countries a (Riled with the ftatefman-like advice and the military fkill and prow- efs of the Well flays, to com plete their fubjugation, would certainty not colt him nuny months ; nay there are thofe who appear to believe, that both the noble marquis and his bro ther the baton will find it their duty to come home, in order to give their perfonal aid to their fovereign and his govern ment, and that this move will take place before Napoleon will poleon, when having finifhed die conqutfl of the continent, will fay to himfelf, ‘ come that 1 is enough •, and, 1 will not on- • iy leave England nuattempted, • but will amicably (hike hands ‘ with her, and leave her in quiet ‘ pofleflion of thofe means, ‘which (he has fo frequently ‘ employed for the flirring up * of other nations againft me, b * for the putting down me and ‘ all tny family.’ No : eVen the Dixons and their piftry-cook co-operator; nay,1 hardly .believe that, poet Fitzgerald is fo exe crably ftupi.l as to fupoofe this No ; that man nauft be flaring mid, who d not fee, that the feviou& warfare between En gland and France is only now beginuing ? that it is now the beginning of dangers; that all former and prefent dangers are trifling compared to thofe which are now about to menace us; of this truth every man of fenfe muft be convinced, and yet this is the time when we are to hold a national jubil c ; when, even on this very day, cn which I ana writing this article all the means of intoxication have been applied to the thoughtlefs part of the people ; an d as if we were in love with warlike failure and difgrace, we anlwer with can nonades of joy, thofe which the ptor ; juft as if they could not, if they had been lb difpofed, have relieved the potn on any other day, as well as on the 2.5th of Ortober, 1809.— Thus the thing originated, and that the main object of the J ews add con tractors was to amufe the peo ple, to keep them, as long as poflibb, from doubt.— There is a man of the name of Drum raond, who is, it appears, the commandant of a corps of Vol unteers in Weftminftcr called the prince of Walts’ loyal vol unteers, who his published a let ter, or order, to his corps, in which he clearly imputes dishy- city to every one of the corps, v;ho intentionally is abfent from p trade on that cl iy.

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!
