FRENCH ADDRESS.

cle to miracle, to the summit of human grandeur, will abandon neither France nor Europe, which yet, for so long a time, stands in need of you."

His Majesty replied

"Gentlemen, president and deputies of the legislative body, my duty and my inelinations lead me to share the dangers of my soldiers. We are mutually necessary.-My return to my capital shall be speedy.-I think little of fatigues, when they can contribute to insure the glory and grandeur of France. I recognise, in the solicitude you express, the love you bear me.-I thank you for it."

We learn, that after the presentation of these addresses-the Emperor set out for Spain;-the President for his country villa. Qur readers will infer, that the embargo continues in America; and that the Americans are ready to burst with vexation, at seeing the dollars of the Spanish main, flowing direct across the Atlantic, instead of passing up the Gulf Stream, and leaving a toll behind them.

As to Buonaparte in Spain, his track will be marked with blood! most awful pestilence! The scourge of Heaven! What terrors round him wait!

Amazement in his van, with Flight combined; And Sorrow's faded form, and Solitude behind!

That he will meet with a brave resistance we doubt not: will it be PROLONGED as well as brave? Opinions differ: and we can add nothing to what we have already said. The Anti-Buonapartean revolution in Spain, is of earlier date, and more extensive ramifications, than the Emperor and King supposes. He may find, that there is great difference between selling the bear-skin and skinning the bear. If his sparrow-like eagles should again cower before Spanish hawks, we advise him (and the Empress Josephine shall support our advice) to replace them on his standards by that noble emblem, the gander!-the most majestic of all birds!

to a goose.

In the meanwhile, Humanity, though in breathless expectation of sanguinary events, gathers some strength from the delay of great devastations. O that one thrill of the thousands that she feels could shudder the bosom of infuriate ambition! It would either now soften that hardness of heart to which the miseries of mankind areowing, or hereafter, augment the pungency of those thorns with which the unthinking would-be Hero is planting his dying pillow!

Who dreams

O Universal Empire growing up
From Univer ali Ruin!.... Blast the Design,
Great God of Hosts! nor let thy Creatures fall
Unpined Victims at Ambition's Shrine !

AMERICAN ADDRESS.

interests of our country requires that the present moment should be seized, for opening the most friendly commercial intercourse with the Spanish colonies.

We have thus concisely stated some of the effects which we conceive have been produced by the embargo, together with a few of the many considerations which in our opinions call for a suspension and repeal of the law. We do not doubt that the subject will receive all that consideration which its importance deserves; and we confidently trust, that the restraints on trade, of which we complain, will be speedily removed, and that our country will regain its former activity, and become prosperous.

Attested, DAVID F. SILL, Clerk.

We are not to expect unvaried success even in the best of causes; the vicissitudes of war refuse to sanction such unwise speculation. The policy of Buonaparte is, to bring the Spanish affairs to a short issue; to fight a great battle, and blast the hopes of his opponents; the policy of his adversaries is directly the contrary; not to hazard an engagement that deserves the name of a battle: to avoid meeting him in the plains, but to line every hill, and to throng every mountain, up which the horse cannot gallop, and to repeat the treatment he experienced from the Arabs in Egypt, where his conquests extended, in front of his army, half as far as his eye could reach, in that level country; and on his fanks, half as far as grape shot would range. This will cost him thousands of men; and should be achieve the conquest of Madrid, he will find that he has not conquered Spain. Joseph has been in Madrid once; other kings have been in Madrid twice; yet the issue has proved their

weakness.

Humanity hoped that the armistice lately concluded between Russia and Sweden, had not been interrupted. Report has affirmed that misfortune: and the latest information confirms the increase of slaughter are ravag: -to what end?

The Baltic should be pacific during winter. The Russian squadron blocked up in Port Baltic has got safely back to Cronstadt: not without weighty reasons and causes; and in this, if we are not mistaken, the Politician had quite as much share as the Admiral

The Russian squadron at Portsmouth is not more peaceable, for the time being, than that at Cronstadt.

Sweden and Denmark will do little during winter. If the Belts should be frozen over, indeed-but frosts so powerful are in the hands of Providence: which may disappoint the wishes of a marshal of France, and of his master, neither of whom acknowledge much obligation to Providence.

What are you doing at the London Docks? said a friend, in our hearing, to an officer of that establishment: "Dutchmen, Sir; nothing but Dutchmen: the warehouses are as full as they can hold, of goods brought by them; and we work extra hours to forward them. They must be home by the thirtieth of November." They take with them home, nothing"-"but what they have paid for, Sir; the rest we leave to them." It is not in our power to explain that rest accurately but we give notice to our readers, that they will see in the papers whole piles of goods burnt, publicly burnt-to blind the eyes of the populace, who hear nothing publicly of that much greater quantity that will accidentally find its way into the warehouses of Myn Heer Vander and Myn Heer Van and Co. as will appear in due time-orders, edicts, and arrêtés notwithstanding.

The Danes were lately highly offended by the sight of several immense fleets sailing through the Sound for Britain :-well convinced, that pleasure was not their object; and that Sweden could not consume the commodities they brought: nor in fact, could · Russia and Sweden, together. Had we stood at his majesty's elbow, we could have hinted, that Buonaparte is not the only monarch who sweetens his coffee with sugar that has been denationalized in Britain: and that the empress Josephine is not the only consort royal who, in spite of her royal consort's decrees, wears English cotton stockings under French silk hose.

We wait for information on what is passing in Germany. The lion that couches is not the less intent on his future spring. We apprehend that Erfurth, where the emperor of Austria disappointed an invitation, will one day witness that those who invited him thither have good memories. He ought to know best the game he plays: we consider him as having the prospect of a game sufficiently difficult. Let Spain be disposed of; and then

Why does not the emperor and king state his sentiments on the revolution that has given a new sovereign to Turkey ?-Because he has not yet taken the measure of Mustapha Bairactar; who, from his alacrity in cutting off of heads, bids fair to be a forinidable rival in feats of slaughter to the wearer of the iron • crown. A few lessons in the dextrous employment of mitraillades, fusillades, noyades, and destruction by rank and file after a march, might improve his hand and heart; and then Ali Mustapha Buonaparte might see himself so closely equalled by his brother Turk, as to startle him, lest he should lose his reputation of being the first murderer, now performing in the world; and be forced to shake hands with Mustapha Bairactar: always preserving the pas d'honneur. The Turks are opium proof: they have no dukes of royal blood nor Cayenne diligences; but their

seven towers is a very pretty place for eternal confinement: and the sweeping waters of the port of Constantinople, are excellent for carrying off those committed to their charge. It will be very hard if that country, where robber and thief are honourable terms, and become a surname of the party who has acquired them by deeds of blood, cannot produce a match for Buonaparte, on whose account the legislative body has lately taken into its head to fear-and to unite this fear with their enjoyment of the spectacle of "force subduing itself." Arrab, honey!

The deep, very deep politicians of Great Britain are at present amused by the proceedings of the Court of Inquiry on the subject of the Convention of Cintra. We trust the event will prove, that our officers did their duty to the best of their understanding. Inquiry is distinct from Condemnation: and the laws and usages of our country deem every man innocent, till his peers have pronounced him guilty.

The general internal state of Britain is peace, and now industry; we trust, soon to issue in prosperity. Our trade to South America bids fair to make us amends for the waspish conduct of North America; and our ships had as lieve steer southwards, as westwards:

Always a direct trade, if possible. We have to regret, that some of those busy meddling idlers, who know not their own country, properly, and are profoundly ignorant of the feelings that characterize other nations, have been instrumental in making mischief among the powers which conduct, what of government can be conducted, in Portugal, at the present crisis.—We shonld have thought that unanimity had been of all things, the most desirable: and that concordia res parva crescunt is a truth to be acknowledged as well by Portuguese as others. The French report with delight, that two governments, two armies, two opinions, and two parties rule that kingdom in horrible discord. It is impossible to suppose, that the Son of that famous minister, the Marquis de Pombal, [Compare Panorama, Vol. IV, p. 113] the present Marquis, and the Viscount of Anadia, son of the celebrated minister, Airas de Sáa, noblemen who have left Europe, and their possessions in this quarter of the globe, to follow the fortunes of their royal master, in unknown countries, could be actuated by base and treacherous motives. The very act of transmigration is, prima facie, evidence to the contrary. This paragraph will proba bly meet the eye of some in authority, of that nation; we therefore repeat out advice," Concord, friends, Concord and Union."

The Princess of Portugal, and Don Pedro, who are of the Spanish blood royal, have protested against the establishment of another family on the throne of Spain.

The Parliament is appointed by Proclamation to meet on January 16, 1809.
