xisdi&fon cf the government, it can hardly he ferioufiy claimed, when the fubjeft hasdifclaimed that protection, abandoned the territory of the govern ment, and withdrawn his allegiance—- Here, a question may crife, whether a fub,e<R may withdraw hsYallegiance ? and.if he can, whats acls lliall be con sidered as evidencing or neccfftaiing this change? It is obvious, that the obligation of the fuhjec!, to continue iubjetl to the government to which his fir ft allegiance binds him,is no part of the laws enter gfnt.cs —it is like any other duty of the fubjeft to the gov ernment —the breach of.it is only pun ilhable under its own laws, and these lose their power within the territory or jurifdicli.on cf another fovercign, as v/e have heretofore fully proved.— The right is j utt as well founded, to! take from on board Os our ye fie Is art) tuber offenders against its laws.

We sincerely deplore the dreadful calamity which has befallen our allies, and annihilated ev ery hope of checkin” the career of the enemy, by any means short of a continental peace. We do not Hop to notice the unprincipled levity of the micifterial journals, who are continuing to feed their readers with tales of a defeat of the French at the moment that accounts of this, we” fear the last, overthrow of the allies, have arriv ed. But let the people of England :;t length awake from their deluf-on ; let those who re joiced :u the failure of the negotiation, look at the consequences which have followed from that difafterous event, and let no one be so theught lefs as now to eiipetl that the independence of their crowns will be fought for in Poland Above all, we trust, not another Engliih ioldi'er will be lent abroad at this commencement o: a new, we fear, a merely defective war, The forces of France are about to be concen tered once more against this country. This third coalition has indeed ruined Europe we lament that it never was difeuffed in the great cou-.cu o:: the nation. Probably we Ihould not aave been exposed to the dangers which now threaten us, if condign puaunmeut had been in i iii&eu on its furviviug authors. Probably’ the mere difeufiion by our representatives, of that calamitous policy whsch led to the fubfurm.liou of Auitria, and paved the way for the dcilruc uon of Pruffii, might have diffufed better views of the real iutcirlls of England, in relation to | tiie continent, than ars at the prefer., meraent ■ ■ very prevalc-r.t among our ftatcs.nen. At any j rate, the incapacity of the persons who now | rule us, would have been more thoroughly lift ed, and the nation have learnt agamic whom the gate of public faith thonld forever be font. What a dreadful profpecl is now before us ! We are once more to cope iingle handed against France, and not merely fmgle-hnnded at the be ginning of the contest, though that was reckon ed enough to alarm us considerably in 1803 ; i but deprived of every chance of a diverhon in J our favor unjefs the war Hull endure until the continent be renovated and the power or car j allies be created anew. In 1303 there was j ia good chance that A'liftna, or Prafiia, or; i Rufiia, might attack France, Ihould she attempt j ;an invasion of England ; there was a certainly of their doing so, ihould she iad in it. ‘1 he {late of the continent then rendered it hazardous to invade England, and fatal to be defeated in the attempt. The present date of the continent makes it perfectly fafe to try the invasion ; and not even hazardous to fail. If Bonaparte m 1804 had been repulfcd in a defeent upon these kingdoms, (lie would have been undone, and j England would have fecurcd both her o va and j the independence of Europe. When he trus 1 now, we trust v/e shall defect him, but the ut-• moft which v/e can hope to gain is preleut fe-; curity ; for lie may fad in the autumn of ISO?, t and repeat the attempt in the following fp/i.sg. j There is no longer any continent to take a (Ivan-] tage of his difeomfiture ; he is playing a law! game ; he can ou!v loafa what is corn: ent for him to rifle. We are, for the fir” time lince England was a nation, playing a game of! such odds, that if we win, we merely five our ftakc, if we lose, we part with our r.li. No further intelligence is yet received of the i late operations on the continent, and people are | divided in their opinions es to the red ritcoiu.t3 j of the French at Berlin, and private letters by • the left mail. Mr. Whitebread is excluded from the com- j mfttee on finance, and Mr. Levee‘ler admitted - -i in his Head. The moft remarkable f i.ture in | Mr. Whitebrend’s public life, is his accuCation of lord Melville, and the moft rejnarkalde one, in Mr. Leyccksr’s is his defence cf thr.t noble man ; but no doubt Mr. Percival h?,d forgotten chefe circumstances, vv’nen he prop* ku Inch an alteration in the committee. July 17. A mail from Tonningen ar-ived this morning, j It has not brought later intelligence from Tilfit, than we received yesterday, but it has enabled us to contradict the account cf Denmark having! fnut the Sou nd. On the 2d, about 50Ships be longing to the expedition paifed the Sour.d, and failed by Copenhagen without the kail mc’efa. tion. A part of the expedition went through the Great Belt. But though r.o attempt has 1 yet been made to flint the Sound, ministers have j reason to believe that Bonaparte will im nediate ; ly after he ha3 made peace with Rufiia and Prafiia, endeavor to make Denmark depart from he’ system of neutrality, and therefore they have j refillved to fend a strong fiset into the Baltic > without loss cf time. Denmaik may then reply !to any demand to depart from her neutrality, 1 that such a measure would be cf ro avail, Great* i Britain having so powerful a fleet in the Baltic. The fleet hich is to be sent to the Baltic will corfift of 22 fail cf the line, besides frigates, Hoops and biigs, amounting in all to about 40 fail. An order (as we fitted yefterdr.y) was sent to Portsmouth on Wednesday, for all the frigates and brigs to fail from thence, and take . flat bottomed boats. These frigates and brigs jars to go with the fleet, which is to fail imme diately. The following, we believe, are the officers that will command the fleet:—Admiral Gombier, commander in chief—-under him, Sir Samuel Hoad, Admiral EfSagton, Sir Home , Pepham, and Commodore Keate. 1 There iscflste in feme of the British papers zr. unprecedented boldness of attack and accu fttion that spares no p-erfon however elevated in rank—The following as a fe-ecimen, is ex tracted from the Lon don “ Independent il'h:?’ of July 5. “There are however a variety of a’uMs, which both faiftions are prudently iilent about, because both parties- had an c-yu. 1 share in the business, a.id are afraid to let the whole Cat out of the bag ; neither df them lay a fy liable about j the amassed treasure of the king, laid to amount to the'enormous rtm of five millions fterlirtg !
