Those who are disposed to charge Prussia and the allied sovereigns with rapacity for the treatment of Saxony, ought to inquire a moment into the conduct of her king, which has brought upon 1iim this reduction of his dominions. " In thexwar of 4806, Saxony was an ally with Prussia against France, and brought into the field a eonventionary armys Immediately after the fatal battleof Jena, this Saxon army be came inactive, aud after a short time joined Bo naparte ill prosecuting the same war against Prussia, . which wasprclonged eight or ten months. For his activOy services in this war, the Elector of Saxony wasrewarded'by Boria parie with the title of king, and besides by the duchy of Warsaw w rested froniPrussia, and by an augmentation of hit new kiiigdonf, by other possessions taken from Prussia. From this time Frederick Augustus continued a , faithful allvoLBoanarte. r After the disastrous Russian campaign in 1812, the. shattered remnants of the French ar my wero pursued to the banks of the .Saale. On this river they made a stand and here in tin spring ofl813 both- parties, made great effort ty for the expense of making the recovery. The king of Saxony, from 1806 to 1813; enjoyed the sovereignty over 2 1-2 millions of people, who were previously Prussiau subjects. He now re signs -not only that acquisition, but a large por tion of his hereditary dominions, containing a population of nearly a million. The-Duehy of Warsaw, instead of reverting to Prussia is given to (he emperor of Russia, and the king of Prussia is indemnified in part from the spoils of the' electorate. It appears to be the-object of the allies to make the condition of Prussia as eligible as it was previous to the dismember ment of that kingdom by Bonaparte in 1806. , LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
