Amcrica, which Mr. Scargill lias com- celertr."* 



niunicated to the public, tiuongh tiie

 culiarly satisfactory. If a correspon-

That Russia is'at present the prepon- 

 derating power none will deny ; and, 

 since the humiliation of France, there is 

 no cft'ectual check to her gaining univer- 

 sal power on the Continent. A short 

 lime will probably show the blind infa- 

 tuation of those cabinet measures 

 which, by restoring the worn-out dynas- 

 ty of the Bourbons, on the absurd prin- 



fttes, may tend to efiace much of that ciple of legitimacy, and exhausting the 

 bo&tile feeling against tiiis country which ._ . .- 



prevails in liie L'nited States, so unhap-

 a cause, has laid the cliicf part of Eu- 

 rope at the feet of the semi-barbarous 

 hordes of the north ? Had this country 

 been wise enough to observe the Treaty 



portance and wealth; but let notour of A miens, and Bonaparte continued to 

 transatlantic friends think it necessary reign in France, Russia would not have 

 that their national prosperity should be ventured beyond her ancient limits, and 



raised on the ruins of Uic venerable parent 

 country. 



It is scarcely requisite to enter into an 

 elaborate refnlation of the argument held 

 by some v\riters, that a state f>f v\arfare 

 is necessary to prevent a redundant and

 will exclaim. Would you have submit-

 swer — No: such a system would not 

 have existed had the above treaty been 

 adliered to ; and let me ask in retinn, 

 iiave you now got rid of the Continental 

 System? Is it not notorious, that the

A?JGL'l/S VERUS. 



To the Editor of the Monthly Magazine, 



SIR, 



PERUSING Rosscau's "Contract 

 Social" the other day, I was so 

 struck with the following passage, that I 

 determined to solicit a corner in your 

 Magazuie for its insertion, believing it 

 caniiot fail to give rise to many serious 



le Desire, and the triumph of' the Allies! 

 No— no ! you have not got rid of the 

 Continental System ; and your faithful 

 abettors in the cause of legitimacy will 

 soon convince you that this system may 

 be carried on in peace as well as in war 

 — by regular sovereigns as well as by 

 those who wanted the legitimate inark. 

 The question then recurs again, "What 

 have wc gained by tlie late war?" Every 

 class of society is furnished with the 

 melancholy answer — universnl distress. 

 Does there not then an awful responsi- 

 bility rest somewhere ? Shall the au- 

 thors of suci) a war go unpunished ? of 

 a war, in the course of which, the loss of 



iand useful reflections in the minds of nien in Calabria, Russia, Poland, Ger- 



nil in any of your readers. I am fully aware 

 2ti . that the author is generally tieatt d as a 

 *9"i.i mere. visionary, but t!io remark in qucs- 

 •rt'i'tion appears to me to be characterized 

 tit'' by unco nmon foresight and penetra- 

 f»v* tiou. It will be found in clia|)ter 8, and 

 I ; . is as follows: — *'L' Empire de Riissie 

 vaa4ra subjugaer Vfuirope, et sera snli- 

 jug^e lu'i-meine. i,es l^^rtares, ses su- 



iiiany, France, Spain, Portugal, and 



* Russia will subjuirate Einope, and be 

 subjugated lierseif. The Tartars, whether 

 her siilijccts or nciglibonrs, will become 

 her masters and oiu's also. This revolu- 

 tion appears to ine infallible : all the 

 kings in Earope unite their labours to ac- 

 celerate it.
