Jenks's Portland Gazette

A writer in the New-York Evening Post, on the subject of European politics, after drawing an able view of France and England, as the present leading powers, closes his remarks as follows:

"All those advantages on the part of France, will be sedulously improved by Bonaparte; elevated to an usurped throne, his personal safety will call upon him imperiously to keep the public mind engaged: to dazzle the people with conquests; to glorify their national pride with triumph over an old rival; to prove his claim to royalty by substantial services, and to stop the mouth of malcontents by brilliant acts of Republican magnificence and enlightened benevolent institutions. Already he professes his intention to augment his marine--already he discloses his views to commerce--already he talks of a navigation act for France; and he will, no doubt, train his mind, capacious of such things, to the accomplishment of the ruin of England, in order to put his adversaries in France to silence. Even the peace itself on which such reliance is had, may, perhaps soon turn out (to use the words of a great statesman in England) "to be only a piece of legerdemain to get possession of Malta; to establish France in her new colonies; to re-enter Egypt; to receive back thirty thousand seamen, (prisoners of war in England;) and to put the chief consul in a situation to re-commence the war with new and decisive advantages."
