RETROSPECT OF POLITICS, I
1ojt Liverpool Chronic!.
Dispatches have been received,
sincc our last from General Sir
. Hugh Dairy tuple, at Gibraltar, and
ram Adin'l Lord CoUingwood,' at
C-idiz, confirming the surrender
of Dupont's array, and also of a
division commanded by General
WedeL, to the Spanish patriots.
The substance of .these dispatches
have been published, and will be
found in another part of our p--per.
The same gazette also con
tains an account ot the rctreaof the
French lrom Madrid. The ar
my, the King, the Court,, and all
the French residents in Madrid,
hve left that city in the utmost con
sternation; inconsequence "as is

ofDunont'sarmy. King Joseph,

The intelligence from Portugu

men with Gen. Loison, lately join

irom Almeida, 500 miles distan

through a difHcult ceuutry.
While manv of our co-tempora
nes seem to hail the probability oi
a war between Austria and r ranee
we trust vtc may be permitted t N
enquire what will be the probibl
result of the contest. The sob
rrasoner, who takes plain mattei

will hesitate before he admits thai

sent cirrumstances, and cspccialK
for England to rejoice at ; he wil
not only hesitate to admit this, hut
we arc much mistaken if, by enqui

opinion k
There is not the slightest pros

ta dv ncr neicnoors. rrusaia is
buried in the ust, powerless anfl
politically dead. Russia could ooi
contribute 100,000 mm to the coa

plctcly governed by the p( littcs o
France ; from such a power ii
wouid be liule better than insunh.
to expect the deliverance of F
j rope. Svedeh mav possess a wil;
but where is her ability ? Denmark
' has been driven into the arms oi
France, what can be expected from
it ? It is thencvident, that if Aus
tria fignts, she must fight alone, or
witltout other assistance than wru.
our gold can give her. . Now what
U her prospect of success in such
a contest We are told she has
400,000 wedappbinted menmarms
So we verc told when Mr. Pit
luxed her into the last fatal coali
tion. But ihe end proved that vi
weretcid fahc, atid what likelihood

her military cstabtisnmcnt ? Bui
allowing thi" to be true, where arc

Krr olners are of thesame bree'
s ifci of t.ieir own ptrson to the
glorv of their country ; and, to
vompl.tethedisheartening outline.
iur councils are still filled with the j
same cabal that has before led htr '
to the brink of ruin, who afe so far
,, from gaining wisdom by expe
rience, that they still look upon the
Archduke Charles with ancvil eye
"and will again commit their armies
t.ti a Mjclr, rather than to the onU
General tnat is capable of com-
nurtdinc them.
Suih being the gloomy opinion
Vfhich wccannot help forming of
the means of successful hostility .
on the part of Austria, we must
lck with fear and trembling to a
ted to-the rank they hold-and un
der the direction of military talents,
such as those of Bonaparte. ' If
Austria were an undivided coun
try like Spain, anrj its people ani
mated with the spirit of liberty, vte
should hope. But alas ! if their
language contains the word liberty,
it is like ac!balistic sound, ol
which the fepple know not the
meaning-; they cannot feel that
ihey have a country, m r distin
guish between the forms of go-
ernment. They care not whe
ihcr Francis the II or Napoleon
reigns over thein, and they wil:
not fight unless forced to it. The
ointest, therefore, will be as before.
'etwetn regular armies only, and,
as before, th:it of France will prove
victorious. If the Emperor oi
Austria nieans to conquer tht
French, he should first give his
eopie a country to fight for. Li t
.nra break the chains of feudal op,
pression in which the ptrsoas-and
properly of his people are held
et him give to them a representa
vc government, the trial by jury,
i:id a free Dress. let them know
and feel thev are men, and n
transferable property like cattle, &
Vis empire would then be sale, thu"
nvnads of Frenchmen were to
force into it But while his peo
ple are virtually slaves, what mat
ters it to them who is their task
master ?
Britons may view this conduct
is alarming, under another point
of view. It is well known that
ihe Austrian finances are wretch
edly low. To whom should this
I st of the Caesars look for relief
jUi generous England. We shall
end them subsidies, and as far as
noney is concerned, the burthen
if the war will fall upon us. Load
ed as we are with an enormous
raxation, thh would be btit a me
ancholy prospect were we differ
ently circumstanced in other res
pects ; but in the present cramped
state of our manufactures, 8c the ge
neral dullness of our trade, it is but
natural to ask how these subsidies
are to be raised, without producing
great distress.
We learn that a report prevail
ed at Washington, so late as the
17th ult. that the abandonment of
Moore island had beeu required
of the American government by
Sir J. B. Warren. There is no
probab'lity that the Embargo wii;
be soon removed, it is in general
popular, and alrho for the time be
ing it may be attended with incon
veniences, vet these inconvenien
ces are far less than would be ex
perienced in a state of warfare
with any of the European natrons.
The President ha3 the power to
take off the Embargo, should cir-
timsrancts occur tojustifv it ; but
the non-importation act must con
tinue until the meeting of Congress
in November.
