And, in truth, what our posi tion ? and on whidf side are, the' advantages of war? W'e have lost r.otrvcs neither abroad cr at home; every thing has improved amongst us. ;Uur iiouiias, whose creation speared a chimera, whose assem Uage seemed impossible, have been created and collected as if by magic. Our soldiers have become sailoip ; it seems as it the ports and the coasts of the ocean had transfor med themselves into cities, where our soldiers of land and sea, in full security, as during a time of peace, devote themselves to the terrible and perilous exetcises of War. We have, without doubt, a smaller navy' than England : but their number when united and wisely directed, is sufficient tostrike a mortal blow to the enemy. Spain, drawn into the contest by provocations without pretext cr ex cuse, has giveh to tis for auxilia ries the disapprobation of Europe against an unjust aggression, the inuignatien cf a generous - people, and die forces of a great kingdom.

" His majesty has received the letter which has been addressed to him by the Chief of the French go vernment, dated the 2d of the pre sent month. - " There is no object which his ma jesty had more at heart than to seize the first opportunity oi procuring: anew to his auhjects the advantage of a peace founded on a basis not in compatible with the permanent secu rity and the essential interests of his states, His majesty is persuaded this ohject cannot be attained but by ar rangements which must at the same time provide for the future safety and trur.quihty of Europe, and to preve.f. the renewal ol those dangers and mis fortune's by which she has -found her seif surrounded.

One idea only presents it seUVtth pre cision, that of recourse is not of pacific nature ; a su perfluous intervention ought ricitto be required, if there is no wish to embarrass the discussions and to render , them endless.
