Sir John Dairy mphi wrote a Pamphlet for the pur ose of urging an intimate alliance ‘heftvVe-’. jisaia and England: on the ground of Ru aia wanting Briti&h vnanuf it-tures, and B.i tala yu*s% Russian cordage, hr nip, pilth, ter, naval timber*, Ik'.., All this wis very well, but tho Empress Catharine, in cons?- ijaeneeof a fraud ommictcd on Couet Pt h Jen whoso pockets were picked of dipla tn&tic paper® which were copied, was indu •bd to Oater into her or’n vie ws, and iasti i tute tit© armed ireatraHty. This armed ‘Centrality, thaagh it seemed to have died a quiet death soon after its.binh, has never yet hesn given up in principle ; and the naval nuperiority of O. Britain has been viewed with invest ant jealousy by the court of Rus sia Prom the days of the armed neutrality Russia has been bent On becoming a naval power, and her measure* have been taken silently but surely with that objeet of ag* grandiscment in view as steadily as the in crease of her continental influence on laud. Her great objeet in her attacks on Turkey have been the command she could establish in the Medi'err&nean, ar*B St. Petersburg!) itself was built bv Peter the Great on the speculation of future naval power. At present the politics of Denmark, Sweden anil Prussia are under the ir.3u* cnee of Russia, whenever Rugate abuses to exert that iiillaem e ; for she his it in her power to overwhelm the two first whenever she pleases ; and the hostile in terests of Austria and Prussia, ready to break out on the slightest temptarion ‘at this moment, are kept in check by tie in fluence of Russia alone. ’ Great-Briiftsn ever the victim of short sighted polities, end whose ministers are too apt to substiiVve pride lor talent, has played a very silly part in the late poli tical game of the allied powers Against France. Russia had destroyed the best ap pointed army under the ablest general the world ever saw-—Russia had stfaced upon Poland and taken away from that country the part that best answered the views of Russian aggrandisement— Russia fits ab viously in her power the kingdoms of Swe den and Du mark whenever she ejhooses to pour her emineuse aim es into those coun tries—Russia has the control of Prussia, wl use subjects ate ready for revolt, ami of Austria, whose finarx es are prostrated by the want of skill in the operationsef finance. UJisder these cmMiigttan<es it was the obvi* cus policy and interest of Great- Britain to raise up a check to Russian encroachment*’ and of course to have supported fire, mils tary power of France, so long as her naval power was kept in a state of depression Thera Was uo check against the -'univer sal influence of Russia over the eoot ncot of Europe, bot the integrity of the French boundary, and the sunport of her military force. This can no ranger be regarded at formidable to the Liberties of Europe, for it is now seen that it can certainly be re strained; nor hss England any thing to fear from the military p* wer of France, while the navy of that kingdom is so in significant as it has been and may still be kept British influence. Great-Britain therefore might have psre nerved an influence over France, which (he people of that country would hare borne not merely with patience but with gratitude j for the views of tbe French, and ail their predilections are in favor of their milita ry glory. France might thus have been converted into a willing subservient colo ny of Great Britain. Instead of this, the ministers of this latter country, have been the foremost to depress the only portion ql JPreneh power which might subserve the interests of Great-Britain and could do her AO harm. Russia leaving the odium of this mca tore to England, has joined in it to & eer* v£a degree, and coneenied thatGteat Bri kid should iiiminshthe military power of Trance, and bear all the odium of des ioying the Freneh army, defalcating the Teach territory, and supporting the con, tupiibb race of the Bo bns.
