In conse'q'irerict pf t'Tie menacing positida of the Dutch armament in' the Texel, it ha's 'b'efo thoiigh't expedient to rein'foice tfi'fc s'qiiadron under Ad. RUSSE!L', and the Die- tator arid Agincourt sailed from the DoWns this morning for that station 1 . Every thing seems to i ndicare that ihe long threatened' at- tack is on the ?ve of takinn place. . I [FROM TUB PARIS PAPERS.] it is of the highest importance to examine the present situation of France with respect to Russia, and to contemplate- tlie menacing position of Russia with respect to the rest ot Europe.. An enlightened publicist has just thrown great light upon the siibj.ect—But ' we'may,/still .consider it under some different points of View, ant! shew, that the delay, interposed in the Negotiations, opened for peace, proceeds only from England, ,'and Ibijthe interest of England alone—that the pretended aggradisement of France, which has been made use of by her as a pretext, is a natural effect of the present posiiiQn of Europe, and that so far from alartniog the neighbouring Powers, the preponderance of France. i s become necessary to ther interests and independence. Let us examine shortly the,se different questions—The history of the two last cen - turies proves cleaily enough that England never made, war upon the Continent but for her personal interest.—None but common politicians caU be the dupes of the pretexts by which the Court of London has .always endeavoured to cover its ambitious preten- tions.—-The independence of Jiurope is the usual preface ond.protocol of His BRITAN- NIC MAJESTY'S warlike rhessages ; but we know that his olye.ct. is. to consolidate, to increase, and to perpetuate his rriaritim.e empire.—France has always appeared to be the object of the hatred of England,, be- cause she i? more able to resist her preten- tions.—So long as fhe Dutch have powerful colonies, a flourishing trade,, and a formi- dable navy, she was the object, of the same .enmity—Spain was long in.the.-possession of it'; and. it-is to the intrigues ..of -England that she may impute tlie separation of the king- dom of Portugal, and the hereditary, ha- iredtHat. subsists between the two nations. Austria herself was the object of her gloo thy disquietude, when in,the last century she . u-'ished.to create a navy, and establish a com- mercial company at Ostend. . England has rn'oiQ particularly cherished a hatred of France, because France oppos- ed, a greater resistance to her because the national industry of France offers, more dangerotis rivals,'because her situation fa- vours the devielo'pement of her opulence and industry.. The slightest advantage which France liaS ob.ained by her victories or b'y her treaties have always beeii considered as usurpations over England. England saw all th'fe.ievoltifions in th'e North without car- irig ab'atit their con'sequences and effects, j she saw teri trillion's of subjects- acquired by. Rtlssia from 1774 to' 1794 j she . saw- pro,- vinces invaded and kingdoms usurped, and it seemed as if she considered all these events as occurring thousands of leagucs.from Eu- rope,' though it wasiri ths bosom of Europe .' that that Power was insensibly establishing it-self which' now menaces both:Europe and Asia.- Y.et the cession of?-some maritime . dep'arfnii'ents, which formed part of amien.t .Frince>'.. si armed -Englaird - more than so lo'r-. midable an empire, and she shed torrents of blood to ascertain .whetiier Frenchmen gitould remain'united to France. . It would be surprising if the Union of Genoa shouldrbe the cause.of anew Coritt- nentai'l w a r . For We must,' in the first place, remark, that no power in the world has a right to interpose between the Will of two, independent nations which desire to' u^nite themselves to each other. If Sweden wished to recognise the Emperor of RUS- SIA,, no other State could H'ifh justice op- pose a contract Entered into between them.— No person dreamt of opposing the Union of Ireland with England'—it was the free act of the people, 1 and Russia has too much to gaii> by that system to objefct to it. Be- sides,- ii'6 opposition wa's fever made to Genoa putting herseif under the protection of of some Use to France. But that advan- tage can only be made use of against the English—England tlierefoj-e, alone has an interest in preventingthat tjnion ; and have not all nations arl interest" In desiring the which, establishment o| a naval power,, 'jireservt/ig its' o'w.ri indc'penclence, and the dignity of its. Slarine, should restore to. oilievs the freedom of their comrnercej aricl the honour of their insulted flags / Yet, if we examine what, preplnde.rance France on gilt to have for'her own s'ec-ui ityj and the. defence of. the rest of Europe, we shall find her... scarcely Dowetful cnou°h'- > At differ ent periods she ha if" Trad great pre-' porideranoe without ever havicg.attac'ked the. freedom of other nations-! France., which she was forced to do so of- ten., I? is of little importance to : ermany,' to Rii'ssia,' and all other Continental Powers,' that Genoa belongs to France,' since she adds' nothing to her Coritin'eh'tai force. T h e first decree passed, declares that there shall be no conscription for. the army, ft is > only tinder ^ naval point of, visw th'as G e n o a is j The present situation of Europe, the I changes operated in other Sra'fes,- Have reri - ' dered the increase of the powec ol France " j necessary.— Tt is sufficient to re-mark that j there is this difference betvveen 'the'poM'er of France and Russia j that Fr-ance has natural - limits, ati'd tliat-Russia will not recognise - "" any—that Fr ancetoucheson al I. si ties g tea t States, irom which she has iito desire'-If? make acquisitions, unless, a new war ; Shall plice the political existence of nations at stake- that France has religiously respected the ter- ritory of her Allies—thit she h-as icached > the term where she must naturally. stop—. that if she be powerful .in population, That population cannot.increase—that she is by'her nature a fixed State, forming an independent' member of- European family, powerful enough to protect, but not to pppiess.it. Russia, whom the Cabinet of London ' invokes in the name of the independtace of nations., is far from, offering the same gua- rantee.—Each step she takes ' is towards . universal empire—her Emperor:moi e.po.w* erful in territoiy than all the other Monarclis of Europe, has only to leave .it to time to render himself the most, formidable in po- pulation. By a wise Government fi ee from forei'gri influence, by tlie deveiopeinent of the industry,of the people, he may make more rea 1 t b n q 11 ests rhHn' by s|kHoivibg Bp' iresli PiOf'inces.—Nothing seems 'more ad- verse to hisiiiterests than a war which would destroy the best- part of bis army, injure the source of iris population without any ration, al object but th'nv; of prolonging tlie naval empire of England.—Nothing but a war so 'o.tign and injurious.to' the interests of Russia, can' r'etai d the progress 01 the enoi-. mous a'.ggtandizeraent. When ih fact we recollect that' riot more than !oc years have elapsed since PETER the Great, came at the head of a 'new- and ba'rba'ro.us "people 'to take his sea't Amongst fhe powers .of Europe j wjfon \ve exatiiiiie the giganvic power w hich' his cmpfi'e has'' acquired i'n so' sftor.t & tirhej vf'c must shud- ' der at the ' i.dia' of the i'0'1 midable pf.ess.uie' with'which the'rest of life World is menaced by Rus-siii; It 'is 'impmsib'e to fergef t-h'kt-'it was from the bbsofn of th<st vast i-riipiie, that tbiise ' armies of barbarians p'ou^et!/ which inundated and subdued almost t'he * whale of .Ouvhe'misphere 1 Europe is blind'to the insensible progress - of a power which no longer Finds enemies round her to 'conquer, and 'which- pet-haps- carries itshope's far indeed. It is very possible -that a -participation in the commerce of the Mediter.raneaii,- and of the North, and. of Asia', may for a time keep England and Russia on a good.footing. , It i 1 ! for the oiher powers, who are involved int a double slailery, to foresee the dangers that, threaten.them.' We.rnust.no longef 'allow ourselves to be dazzled by small port-ions of territory which might be offered in order io cover and screen more important usurpa- tionS. The general interest shouldma'k'e the leading States of Europe feel th : e necessity of ai close union; 'they ate in 'so hie measure guarantees to each other. Universal: Mo- narchy cannot be attempted bv him whorh nature has confined within just limits it is useful fo 'ofhefs that he is able to defend' himself, that he can inspire" some fespect, prevent the ruin of States that are menaced ' at a distance, ahd supply a counterpoise, of which the South of Europe has long been ih need, against the gigantic devouring ambt-s don of the North.' ms^im

I [ F R O M T U B P A R I S P A P E R S . ]

it is of the highest importance to examine the present situation of France wi th respect to Russia , and to contemplate- tlie menacing position of Russia with respect to the rest ot Europe.. A n enlightened publicist has just thrown great l ight upon the si ibj .ect—But ' we'may,/still .consider it under some different points of V i e w , ant! shew, that the delay, interposed in the Negotiations, opened for peace, proceeds only from England, ,'and Ibijthe interest of E n g l a n d alone—that the pretended aggradisement of France , w h i c h has been made use of by her as a pretext, is a natural effect of the present posiiiQn of Europe , and that so far from alartniog the neighbouring P o w e r s , the preponderance of France.is become necessary to ther interests and independence.

L e t us examine shortly the,se different q u e s t i o n s — T h e history of the two last cen -turies proves cleai ly enough that England never made, w a r upon the Continent but for her personal interest .—None but common politicians caU be the dupes of the pretexts by which the Court of London has .always endeavoured to cover its ambitious preten-t ions.—-The independence of Jiurope is the usual preface ond.protocol of His B R I T A N -N I C M A J E S T Y ' S war l ike rhessages ; but w e k n o w that his olye.ct. is. to consolidate, to increase, and to perpetuate his rriaritim.e e m p i r e . — F r a n c e has a l w a y s appeared to be the object of the hatred of England, , be-cause she i? more able to resist her preten-t i o n s . — S o long as fhe Dutch have powerfu l colonies, a flourishing trade,, and a formi-dable n a v y , she was the object, of the same

.enmity—Spain was long in.the.-possession of it'; and. it-is to the intrigues ..of -England that she may impute tlie separation of the k ing-dom of P o r t u g a l , and the hereditary, ha-iredtHat. subsists between the t w o nations. Austria herself was the object of her gloo thy disquietude, when in,the last century she . u-'ished.to create a n a v y , and establish a com-mercial company at Ostend. . England has rn'oiQ particularly cherished

a hatred of France, because France oppos-ed, a greater resistance to her because the national industry of France offers, more dangerotis r ivals , 'because her situation fa-v o u r s the devielo'pement of her opulence and industry. . T h e slightest advantage which France liaS ob.ained by her victories or b'y her treaties have a l w a y s beeii considered as usurpations over England. England saw all th'fe.ievoltifions in th'e North without car-irig ab'atit their con'sequences and effects, j she s a w teri trillion's of subjects- acquired by. Rtlssia from 1 7 7 4 to' 1 7 9 4 j she . saw- pro,-vinces invaded and kingdoms usurped, and it seemed as if she considered all these events as occurring thousands of leagucs.from E u -rope,' though it wasiri ths bosom of Europe

.' that that P o w e r was insensibly establishing it-self which' now menaces both:Europe and Asia.- Y.et the cession of?-some maritime

. dep'arfnii'ents, which formed part of amien.t .Frince>'.. s i armed -Englaird - more than so lo'r-. midable an empire , and she shed torrents o f blood to ascertain .whetiier Frenchmen gitould remain'united to France .

. It w o u l d be surprising if the U n i o n of Genoa shouldrbe the cause.of a n e w Coritt-nentai'l w a r . F o r We must,' in the first p l a c e , r e m a r k , that no p o w e r in the w o r l d has a right to interpose between the Will o f t w o , independent nations w h i c h desire to' u^nite themselves to each other. I f Sweden wished to recognise the E m p e r o r of R U S -SIA,, n o other State could H'ifh justice o p -pose a contract Entered into between t h e m . — N o person dreamt of opposing the U n i o n of Ireland with England'—it w a s the free act of the people,1 and Russia has too much t o gaii> by that system to objefct to it. B e -sides,- ii'6 opposition wa's fever made to Genoa putting herseif under the protection of

of some Use to France. But that a d v a n -tage can only be made use of against the E n g l i s h — E n g l a n d tlierefoj-e, alone has an interest in preventingthat t j n i o n ; and have not all nations arl interest" In desiring the

w h i c h , establishment o| a naval power, , 'jireservt/ig its' o'w.ri indc'penclence, and the dignity of its. S lar ine , should restore to. oilievs the freedom of their comrnercej aricl • the honour of their insulted flags /

Y e t , if we examine what, preplnde.rance France on gilt to have for 'her o w n s'ec-ui i tyj and the. defence of. the rest of Europe , w e shall find her... scarcely Dowetful cnou°h'- > At differ ent periods she ha if" Trad great p r e - ' porideranoe without ever havicg.attac'ked the. freedom of other nations-!

France., w h i c h she w a s forced to do so of-ten., I? is of little importance to :ermany, ' to Rii'ssia,' and all other Continental Powers, ' that Genoa belongs to France,' since she adds' nothing to her Coritin'eh'tai force. T h e first decree passed, declares that there shall be no conscription for. the army, f t is > only tinder ^ n a v a l point o f , v i s w th'as Genoa is

j T h e present situation of E u r o p e , the • I changes operated in other Sra'fes,- Have reri - '

dered the increase of the powec ol F r a n c e " j necessary .— Tt is sufficient to re-mark that j there is this difference betvveen 'the'poM'er of

France and Russia j that Fr-ance has natural -limits, ati'd t l iat-Russia wil l not recognise - "" a n y — t h a t F r ancetoucheson al I. si ties g tea t States, irom which she has iito desire'-If? make acquisitions, • unless, a new war ;Shall p l ice the political existence of nations at s t a k e -that France has religiously respected the ter-ritory of her A l l i e s — t h i t she h-as icached > the term w h e r e she must naturally. stop—. that if she be powerful .in population, That population cannot.increase—that she is by'her nature a fixed State, forming an independent ' member of- European family , p o w e r f u l

enough to protect, but not to pppiess.it.

Russia , w h o m the Cabinet of L o n d o n ' invokes in the name of the independtace of nations., is far from, offering the same gua-rantee .—Each step she takes ' is towards

. universal e m p i r e — h e r Emperor:moi e.po.w* erful in territoiy than all the other Monarcl is of E u r o p e , has only to leave .it to time to render himself the most, formidable in po-pulation.

T h e Mohitidr of this day contains. a« e~x» tract from an English N e w s p a p e r , respect-ing the interru ption of M'. N o v o z i L z OF'F.'S mission, which is supposed to have been produced by/the annexation of the L i g u r i a n Republ ic to France. '. U p o n "this.-pa r agraph, the Moniteur makes tlie fo l lowing .obsei-

. Stations ; \ We are npr.at- all surprised, that the

movements which Austria causes her troops to make, should induce persons to suppose in'Engla'nd, that it is her wish to coalesce against F r a n c e ; but we hav'e a better opinion of the pacific disposition of tlie Emperor of G ' l R M i N T . Part experience proves-, that Russia Would'see with pleasure England and F r a n c e w e a k e n themsel ves by a long w a r , in order that she might , under favour ot their quarrels , attack the empires of C o n -stantinople and Peis ia , W e repeat, that she would see it with pleasure, because she has le: no opportunity escape her to increase their disputes, in place of accommodating ihc'ni. W e cannot but remember the conduct of M , Dr. . M A R C O F F , at the period of the breach, o f ' t h e Treaty of Amiens . If Russia had been inclined to interfere, the war : would not have taken place and as the conduct of IVJ. D E MA R.GOFF received tire- a p p r o b a -tion of his Sovereign, it is presumed, that

. k ,made p a n of the system of the Russian Cabinet .

" W'e recollect with What eagerness Rus-sia after wards interfered at Ratisbon ; d e f y -ing France, and using all, her efforts to im-pel the Germanic Body to a war . T h e Germanic Body was more prudent : it was a w a r e that thc battle w o u l d be fought in G e r m a n y and in Italy : it recollected that the c ondycD of the Northern-States has invaria-bly tended to increase and consolidate their p o w e r by the weakness and divisions, o f the States of the South.. It remained-quiet ,

. look no notice of the Russian notes, and united itself closer to F i a n c e .

' M n the present affair, the English have had recourse t o Russia, If. the only aim of their conduct-Was to.supply new matter for

. the 'ambition of this P o w e r , and to increase the animosity against France, they have,suc-ceeded. 'M. N ' O V O Z I - L T Z O F F is gone back. A t the time of his,departure he. .pre-scnied'-an extraordinary 'kind of note to the Oa bidet of B e r l i n ; and iVI. D ' A L O P E - U S caused it to be printed in all tbe Northern Papers . If , on the contrary, England was in earnest, and' sincerely wished for peace, this proceeding o f Russia has frustrated the project , since she has-only manifested pas-sion and hatred, w h e r e - s h e should have" s h e w n temper and impattiaii't'y,

, " It remains; at this day to be seen, w h i c h is that of the rwo P o w e r s , Prussia, or A u s -tria, thai wi l l declare a g a i n s t ' ' F r a n c e . — Prussia, his.-loudly declared that,she did not par'rirapSiein the- frantic hatred .of the E n g - !

j and that from prin-ciples of .j.ustree as weil as policy, , she ought: rather, to join i<po;b©,p, P russians to .IOQ,POO F r e n c h , to defend -her independence, and keep .in', order this.

" I f Austr ia is glad. to. see ' ,France and England tear each other to pieces, she. w i l l put her armies,into motion, she wi l l so dis-pose t h e m , , as to encourage the war-fact ion in E n g l a n d , and w i l l , by that means, h a v e the melancholy satisfaction, of pro longing the anxiety, arid the cares of t w o great nations. -

£< Brit the English a i e deceived. T h i s system of politics cannot influence the c o n -duct of a Prince so candid,, and a .man so honest as FR A.JJ C I S II . It is with K i n g s as with individuals, there is but one toad to

honour. If the sentiments of .this Prince-were hostile, he wciutd erect his standard ; he has a. valiant ai niy, andra numerous po-pulat ion; he is. convinced, that a secret w a r is unworthy of him, and of his.nation.

j. nisteria! Papers may no long'eii have : pretexts for their suggestions that Hy degrees Austria will be brought to be the imprudent 'irisit.ru- 1

ment of England..

' c But is it the interest of England to pro- " long the war , even with, the assistance of A ustria } A n enlightened Engl ishman said.,. upon a.solemn occasion, that the system of the Cabinet -of St. James's' was 'entirely w roitg when it wished to pnr'chase a confede-racy by pecuniary sacrifices. H e remarked that the first coalition gave B e l g i u m and Holland to F r a n c e ; that by the second, she acquired Piedmont and I t a l y ] and the third might pcissibly gi've'ber new harbours , and an extension of her maritime coasts ,— T h i s polit ical lesson, which'cannot' be sus-pected from the mouth o f an English citizen, may possibly be so in this paper. It is not the less true, notwithstanding. In the acthal -state of affairs, there can be nothing -more •advantageous for England,v'or more profit-able for her commerce," than a just and rea-sonable peace. '

' action.., but,altogether unable to keep the sea. T h e y k n e w not that t w o other ships, three deckers, had been greatly damaged ;

' that the two Spanish vessels had' pot been captured.during the action, but had fallen into the English line during the night, and

. long after V i c e Admira l CA LDER had ceas-ed firing, and discontinued the action."

T h e f o l l o w i n g Note is an extract from another paper , stating the verba l message.•• o f S i r R . C A I . H I 1; b y L i e u t , N I C H O L S O N ' to Admira l C O R N W A L L I S , that be could and would renew the action : —

" H e r e facts alone speak. Y o u admit that the English squadron was the first to discontinue the fight, and to withdraw from the scene of action ; that it did because it had four ships dismasted. Y o u admit that A d -miral. CA LDER was to nenew the attack on thfc fo l lowing day , ^nd that it was in bis power to do. so ; he not only did not do so, but kept a loof, and at a great distance, and, in the end, disappeared altogether. Y o u say, that Admiral CA LDER has sent only the Windsor Castle to England ; be has also sent the Malta .

" In short your statements prove , that the Combined Fleet had the victory ; two, vessels ;have already left y o u r s q u a d r o n ; and the eighteen ships of the Combined Squadron ate in a g o o d condition, h a v e accomplished the object of their mission, and obliged you to. raise y o u r blockade. T h i s w e rake to be-.the truest .sign of v ictory. T w o Spanish vessels, bad sailers, equipped in haste,- suf-fered greatly in the action,-then drifted and fell into y o u r hands during the night, with-out its being, perceived by tbe:. combined squadron till tlie next day : It was . a great l o s s ; but you also have suffered a -real" loss of the t w o vessels that have been obliged to return to port.

" L e t us accurately compare the force of the -two squadrons. Y o i i had three 3 -deckers , and we had none, for there is a imistake iri your account, .the Neptune a.nd Formidable are but eighties, and the Spa-nish ship the A rgon'aut, is but a seventy-four. T h e Combined Squ.adron had twenty ships, but of- t w o different nat ions; it is wel l known' that they are not tlie'same as twenty of the same nation.. Besides, What more could be required from this squadron r It remained mistress of the sea, and compelled }»)U to abandon the scene of action. A n accident occurred in the thick of the fog, and this'acciderit has screened y o u r d e f e a t ; has enabled you to make it pass for. a victory ;

: but in proportion as things wi l l clear up, Europe wil l be convinced that ynu have suf-fered a real defeat. T h e Combined S q u a -drons wished to enter Ferrol or C o r u n n a , ' a n d , S i r R O B E R T C A L D E R wished to pre-vent them. T h i s is ihe problem . that the action is to solve. H a s the advantage been :

• on your side, or, has A d m . V I L L E N EUVE accomplished his mission ? — T h e solution of

, this question .vi ill decide that of the victory. I It is, impossible not. to have at once positive

notions-of thiSdeci'sive fact. Y o u . say that the squadrons fought bravely ; very w ell )

i the , d i f ferent accounts of the French and : Spanish squadrons say, that they bad nor .j fought'at al l , and the w h o l e had been an irre-; • gular, skirmish. , If ,the fo l lowing .morning „ A d m i r a l C A L D E R . h a d not had the prudence

to keep aloof , and with'the advantage of'the w i n d , y o u r defeat h.ad been more complete."

T h e witness replied; they mtist be industrious, fdr it-was all they had to depend upon; I-Ie said it w a s a pity that some one did not. get his son into the Charter-house or the Blue Coat S c h o o l , . T h e witncss told him that the C l e r g y m a n of their parish had endeavoured last ^eat to do it for him, but had not succeeded; that fie w a s nevertheless greatly indebted to 'him for his kindness, for he was sure ii was not for want of inclination, but for want of influ-ence; T l i c n.exi day he Came again, and told the'vnfnetiS that hf had heard L o r d Pelham's butler had got a presentation for his son, w h o bad gone tO sea, arid that he had deter-mined to sell it for 20!-. and if the witness could raise the money, it would be well worth it.

H e an-swered, it was so ; but life was very uncer-tain, and i; was f ight , in case eithe1 of them should suddenly die, that a written evidence should appear of what had passed between them.
