The Foreign Intelligence, which has been received down to the 2d of September, is highly interesting, inasmuch as it contains a variety of corroborating circumstances, indicating a continental coalition against France, that we can scarcely doubt that before this day actual hostilities have commenced.
A combination so powerful on the continent, as Austria, Russia and Sweden, must no doubt excite serious reflections in the French cabinet, but will certainly call forth a repetition of those wonderful energies, which the French nation has so often displayed, since the commencement of the revolution. We have seen with what facility France has resisted confederacies equally formidable, not only resisted, but destroyed them, and triumphing in war, she has imposed peace upon the powers opposed to her, upon terms that shewed that she dictated them. This was done at a time, when France was divided by factions, and the torch of civil war burning in her own bosom.
