MR. PITT’S SYSTEM
Of the balance of Power.
\ As a very strong party spirit was most
premature1)’ manifested in the House of
Commons upon the occasion of what was
understood to lie the arrangements of
Congress, Lord Castlercagh, as the best
explanation of the Hews of himself and
colleagues, in consenting l>> these disposi
tions, has produced a document from the
1'ore gn Office, in which a minute is made
of the opinion of Mr. Pitt upon the suita
ble settlement of th state of Europe. It
has happened t » tills minister as to most
other truly great men, that his valut* has
never been properly known tit the loss
tit him has caused it to be felt ; but as the
passions an t prejudices of his p 1-tic-.1 op
ponents h i vs n -w passed over, we begin
nati nallv to do justice to h s character.
It was his rave merit th-1 he w s :.ot mis

that in anageoferr. r Ct of miscli ev usbut
ce net ve thcor'es, he held fast t the b t c.
tv- d a of for er times, and by nis unsha
ken constancy, preserved his country fro r*
■i.ififering in the common ru n. It is always
great to rise above the l-vrl of the age to
which wr belong ; but it is still greater to
resist the powerful contagion, the spread
ing epidemic, of a whole continent run
turn!. And this was the i erit of Mr. Pitt,
lie was almost the only character of his
day, if rot indeed the only’one, who re
*.ainc ! his sobriety of mind ami st the
turbulence of the age. He saw as clear
ly, an i perhaps more so, because more
coolly, than Mr. Burke himself, the cha
racter and certain effects cf the French
■ revolution, an-he opposed it with more
K prudence, because with more art and po
The State Paper which the ministry

Mr. Pitt, will doubtless be. read by our
readers with all the attention which
such a subject merits, and therefore we
shell n't heie recapitulate its substance.
But, as some of the pi im iples may seem to
require an cxpl ination, we s!t -11 con
fine ourselves at present to this expo
sition, and endeavor to execute it > briefly
ard as intelligible as possible.

at me period of his reign can icd the pow
er of France to a roost dangerous lie got ;
and -. c - federacy was imnie i -itely es
tablished against him, to reduce him with
>1 in the bounds of his own empire. This
II Confederacy, and the wars of Marlbn
l| rough, have always been considered as
g the first practical enf reement <-f tl.e no
P tion of the balance of powt r ; and this
I word, we be! eve, was first adopted and
acknowledged n the negoti ations for the
treaties of Utrecht and Aix la Chapellc
The powers of Europe then naturally dc
t mantled of themselves, by went tne-ns
.Louis had been enabled so ea-h v to - ver
ruti Europe, and therein to actpiirc and to
accumulate a irovver, which teoticrcd him
dangerous to the world r I lie answer was,
that Holland had no sufficient barrier\ anti
that the empire, having no bulwarks no in
termediary power to receive the first as
sault and to rally for its defence, was o
pened to any invader, and that the Ftench
armies had thereby penetrated iotoits cen
tre almost as soon a3 the war was com
menced.
From these circumstances, originated
the f ur main principles of European poli
cy, wlf'eh avawc Uy,/>r at least tacitly,
have 1>< en observed in all succeeding trea
ties to the period of the French Revolution.
1"ur first is, that Holland required a mere
efficient barrier, and that every opportu
nity ought to be taken to strengthen her.
I'he second is, that Prussia should he the
l head of a Northern confederacy, which
should oppose any encroachments rf
France upon the Lower Rhine. The
third is, that Austria should be protec ted,
on throne side by Prussia, and en the other
by her connexion with the States of the
Empire. And the fourth is, that Italy should
I* maintained in her state of subdivision in
to small states, and that Austria should be
her protector, and the other states of Eu
rope the guarantees.
Succeeding events, howev-r, have prov
ed tint tire system is very defective, and
part.uiUily v/ith respect to Prussia, Italy
and 11 dinin'. Prussia, instead ol ■' i g *
d^f- nce to Holland, has too frequently con
sulted her own peculiar interest, an i suf
fcrc 1 Holland to be invaded whenever the
enemy appeared in sufficient strength.
Prussia, moreover, has never appeared .it
t!tc head of any Northern confederacy. Aus
tria has been an equally insufficient gua
rantee of the independence of the Italian
states. And*Uic States of the Empire, in
stead of considering themselves the natural
allies of Austria, have invariably regarded
that power as their most dreaded rival,
and most wi.li igly entered into any pro
posed league with iis enemies to chmipish
it3 power. Tiie result was, that the «•
uues of Fran e made conquests of Italy with
as much ease as of Holland.
The object of the system of Mr. Pitt, is
to remedy these defects in the funner, and
our readers will only have to consider it
with attention, and they will find hnv.* ef
fectually it accomplishes this end. The ge
neral i*eace of Europe was m ule upon this
basis—or .at least would have been so made,
had not the. return of Napoleon prevented

EXTRACT
From an official communication made to
the Russian vlmbassador at London. on !
the \9th of January, 1815, ex/danatory
of the views which ids Majesty the lim
fictor of Russia formed for the deliver
uncc and security of Jiurofic.
1 l’rrscnusi lo both house* ol'Parliament, May, 1815.]
The result of the communications which i
have been tuacle by Prince Czartoriski to ;
uia Majesty’s Ambassador at St. Peters- .
burgh, and of the confidential explanations \
which have been received from your Ex- j
cellency, has been laid before the king ; (
and nis Majesty has seen with inexpres
sible satisfaction, the wise, dignified and t
generous policy which the Emperor of .
Russia is disposed to adopt under the {
present calamitous situation of Europe, t
liis Majesty is also happy to perceive, j
that the views of the Emperor respect- j
ing the deliverance of Europe, and pro- t
t iding for its future tranquility and safe- r
He is therefore desirous of entering into \
the most explicit and unreserved expla- i
nations on every poiut connected with this r
great object, and of forming the closest ,
union of councils, and concert of mea- j
surcs with his Imperial Majesty, in order t
by their joint influence and exertions, to t
insure the co-operation and assistance of r
other powers of the Continent, on a scale s
adequate to the magnitude and impor- *.
tancc ot an undertaking, on the success c
of which the future : <i -ty of Europe must j
depend.
For this purpose, the first step must be 1:
to fix as precisely as possible, the distinct j
objects to which such a concert is to be t
directed. c
rriiese, according to the explanation c
given of the sentiments of the Emperor t
in which his majesty entirely concurs,
appear to be those : i
1. To resume from the dominion of j
France, those countries which it has sub- t
jugated since the beginning of the Revo- ]
lution, and to reduce France within its t
former limits, as they stood before this t
time. t
2. To make such an arrangement with a
respect to the territories recovered from c
France, as may provide for their security a
and happiness, and may at the same r
time, constitute a more effectual barrier g
in future against encroachments on the f
part of France. 1
3. To form, at the restoration of peace, I
a general agreement and guarantee for t
the mutual protection and security of dif- ii
f rent powers, and for the re-establish- |
ing a general system of public law in Eu- t
rope. c
The first and second objects are stated
generally, uml in their broadest extent ; t
but neither of them can be properly cori- t
sidi red in detail without reference to the t
nature ai d i xtcuit ol the means by which y
the may be accomplished. The first i
is certainly that to which, without any (
modification or exception, his majesty’s I
wishes as well as those of the emperor, t
would be preferably directed, and nothing t
short of it can cotn/ilctely satisfy the \ iews c
which both sovereigns form for the secu- t
rlly of Europe. Should it lie possible to £
unite in concert with (J Britain and Kus- ;
sia, the two other great military powers 1
of the continent, there seems little doubt ^
that such an union 01 lorce would enaoie j
them to accomplish all tliat. is proposed, t
Hut if (as there is too much reason to i
imagine may be the case,) it should he ]
found impossible to engage Prussia in the t
confederacy, it may be doubted whether
such operations could be carried on in
all the quarters of Europe—as would be
necessary for the success of this project.
The second point of itself involves in it
many important considerations. The
views and sentiments by which his Ma
jesty and the emperc r of Russia are equal
ly animated in endeavoring to establish
this concert, are pure and disinterested.
The first view, therefore, with respect
to any of the countries which maybe reco
vered from France, must be, to restore,
as far as possible, their ancient rights and
prove for the internal happiness of their
inhabitants ; but in looking at this ob
ject, they must not lose Sight ef the gen
eral security of Europe, on which even
that separate object must principally de
pend.
Pursuant to this principle, there can be
no question that, whenever any of these,
countries arc capable of being restored to
their former independence, and ef being
placed in a situation in which they can
protect it, such an arrangement must be
most congenial to the policy and the feel
ings on which this system was t, ended ;
but, there will be found tube oth r coun
tries a.w.rg thov t " under .he- d' tniu
i
ion of France, to wtuch those considera
tions cannot apply, where cither the an
cient relations of the country are so com
pletely destroyed that they cannot be re
stored, or where independence would be
merely nominal, and alike inconsistent
with security for the country itself, or for
Ear .pe : happily, the larger number is of
Lite first description. Should the arms of
the allies be successful to the full extent
:>f expelling France from all the domin
ions she has acquired since the Revolution,
itwould certainly be the first object, as has
already been stated, to re-establish the
Republics of ih< United Provinces and
iv.vitzerland, the territories of the King
if .virdinia, Tuscany, Modena, (under the
protection of Austria,) and Naples. Rut
the territories of Genoa, of the Italian
Republic—including the three Legislati
ons, Parma and Placentia ; and on the o
Iher side of Europe, the Austrian Neth
erlands and the States which have been
letached from the German Empire on
the left bank of the Rhine, evidently bc
ong to the second class. With respect
to the territories enumerated in Italv, ex
perience has shewn, how little disposition
.'xisted in some, ami how little means in
my, to resist the aggression or influence
if France.-The King of Spain was
rertaiply too much a party to the system
if which so large a part of Europe lias
>ceo a victim, to entitle the former inter
ests of his family in Italy to any consicler
ition ; nor docs the past conduct of Gc
10a, or any of the other states, give them
my claim either of justice or liberality.—
t is also obvious that these separate pet
y sovereignties would never again have
my solid existence in themselves, and
vould only serve to weaken and impair
he force which ought to be, as much as
jossible, concentrated in the hands of the
hief powers of Italy.
It is needless to dwell particularly on
he state of the Netherlands. Events have
>ut cut of the question the restoration of
hem to the House of Austria ;—they are,
herefore, necessarily open to new ar- '
angements, and evidently can never ex
st separate and independent. Nearly
ho «nmo rnncirloimfoI•
stical Electorates, and the other territo- :
it s on the left bank of the Rhine, after ;
icing once detached from the Empire,
i the former poscsssors of them indem- 1
ilied. There appears, therefore, to be j
o possible objection, on the strictest ’
principles of justice and public morality, 1
o make such a disposition with respect
o any of these territories as may be
Host conducive to the general interests : 1
nd there is evidently no other mode of ’
ccomplishing the great and beneficent 1
bjcct of re-establishing (after so much ;
niscry and blood-shed) the safety and re- 1
lose of Europe on a solid and permanent
asis. It is fortunate, too, that such a 1
lan of arrangement, as is in itselfessen- 1
ial to the end proposed, is also likely to *
ontribute, in the greatest degree, to se
ure the means by which the great end *
an be best procured. ° 1
It is evidently of the utmost importance, J
f not absolutely indispensable for this 1
purpose, to secure the vigorous andeflec- 1
ual co-operations, both of Austria and 1
’russia ; but, there is little reason to hope *
hat either of those powers will lie brought *
o embark in the common cause, without ^
he prospect of obtaining somt: important 1
cquisition to compensate for its cxerti- 4
iu. On the grounds which have been 1
lready stated, his Majesty conceives that
othing could so much contribute to the I
eneral security, as giving to Austria 1
rush means of resisting the views of !
’ranee on the side of Italy, and placing 1
’russia in a similar situation with respect 1
j the Low Countries; and the relative sit- 1
ations of the two powers would natural- 1
• make those the quarters, to which
heir views would respectively be direct- J
d. s
In Italy, sound policy could require,
hat the power and influence of the king
f Sardinia, should be augmented, and
hat Austria should be replaced in a situ
tion which may enable her to afford an
nmediate and effectual support to his t
nminions, in case of their being attacked. t
lis majesty sees with satisfaction, from
lie secret and confidential communica- ^
ions recently received through your ex- •
elicnc.y, that the views of the court of t
'ienna arc perfectly conformable to this >
>*rci ai UliU U1UI me extension
t which she aims, might not only safely ’
ic admitted, but might be increased, t
vith advantage to the general interest. '
n other respects, his majesty entirely
oncurs in the outline of the arrangement, *
vhich he understands the emperor of i
Russia is desirous of seeing effected in 1
his quarter. His majesty considers it as i
absolutely necessary, for the general so- t
urity, that Italy should be completely t
escucd both from the occupation and in
luencc of France, and that no powers t
ihould be left within it, who are not 1
ikely to enter into a general system of I
lefenre for maintaining its independence, t
For this purpose, it is essential that the i
countries composing what is called the 1- (
alian Republic, should be transferred
o other powers. In distributing these i
erritories, all increase of wealth and t
>owcr should undoubtedly be given to the :
ling of Sardinia, and it seems material i
i.it liispossessions, as well as the Duchy I
if Tuscany (which it is proposed to res- 1
lore to the grand duke,) should he brought ^
nti< immediate contact,or ready communi- i
mtion with those of Austria. Onthisprin- t
iple, the whole of the territories wliich 1
row compose the Ligurian Republic,
eight,it is conceived, be annexed to Pied- <
m»nt. ,
Supposing tiie efforts of the allies have
recti completely successful, and the two •
ibiects already discussed to have been
Fully obtained, his majesty would never
theless consider this salutary work as still
imperfect, .f the re ; ration of peace
were not accompanied by tin iaost cflcc
tuul measures for giving solidity and per
manence to the system which shall thus
have been established.—Much will un
doubtedly be effected for the future re
pose of Europe by these territorial ar
rangements, which will furnish a more
effi etual harrier than lias before existec
against the ambition of France. But ii
order to render this security as complete
as possible, it seems necessary, at the pe
riod of a general pacification, to form a
treaty to which all the principal powers
of Europe should be parties, by which
their respective possessions, as they shall
then have been established, shall be fixed
and recognized ; and they should all bind
themselvcr mutually to protect and sup
port each other, against any attempt to
infringe them :—It should re-establish a
general and comprehensive system of pub
lic law in Europe, and provide, as far as
possible, for repressing future attempts to
disturb the general tranquility ; and a
bove all, for restraining any project of
aggrandisements and ambition similar to
those which have produced all the cal
amities indicted on Europe since the dis
astrous era of the French revolution.

ORDER OF THE DAY.
Suburbs of Orleans, July 15, 1815.
Soi.diER3—I communicate to you, in
the form of an order of the day, the sub
mission which the generals and officers
of the army under my command have
m .de to the government of Louis XVIII.
“Sire—The army, un mini us in its in
tentions and affections, to be brought to a
pure and simple submission to the govern
ment of your majesty, has no need either
:o receive a particular impulse, or to
change its mind or its sentiments ; it is
iufticieut for it to consult the sentiments
which have actuated it upon all occasions,
:he spirit which has guided it in the midst
if all the events of 25 years of political
storms.
“ Its opinions, its acts, the conduct of
sach of its members, have alwa\ s had for
i moving principle, that love of country.
u-dent, profound, exclusive, capable of e
rery effort and every sacrifice, respccta
>le in its errors, and even in its extrava
gancies ; which at all times has compet
ed the esteem of all Europe, and which
issures to us thutof posterity.
“ The generals, officers and soldiers,
vho this day surround their Hags, and
vho have attached themselves to them,
vitli the more constancy and love in pro
xirtion as they have been unfortunate,
ire not men who can be accused of seek
ng after private advantages.
“ It is then to other thoughts, to mo
ives greater and more noble, that the si
ence, which the army has kept until this
lay, is to ba attributed.
“ From the meanest soldier to the oili
er of the most elevated rank, the French
irmy counts only in its ranks citizens, the
ons, the fathers of citizens ; it is inti
nately allied to the nation ; it cannot se
>arate its cause from that of tfie French
icople. It adopts with them, it adopts
incerely the government of your majes
y, which will produce the happiness of
•'ranee, a generous and resolute oblivion
if all that has passed, by effacing the tra
cs of all hatreds and all dissentions, by
cspecting the rights df all.
“ Convinced of this truth, full of res
>cct and confidence in the sentiments
nanifested by your majesty, the army
■ wears to you, with an entire submission,
m unshaken fidelity ; it will pour out its
»lood to perforin the oaths which it this
lay solemnly takes, to defend the King
aid France.
“ We are with respect, sire, your ma- J
l-sty’s most humble and most obedient
ervants and faithful subjects.

i giicn an example of the greatest sacrifice,
which has been made hltucrto by the
French army. Remember that the flower
of our brave men, forms a part of that ar
my, and that you ought never to hesitate to
march in its steps ; it is in imitating its (.
bedience and its noble devotion, that you
will acquire with the French army, a new
title to the national admiration and grati
tude. Before the enemy, as in the midst of
onr fellow-citizens, I have always merited
your confidence ; no one of you can accuse
me o', weakness ; but, every thing uuglit_to
yield before the great inter, st of the coun
try ; y.Jii h ive proved it and you will prove
it again. Von have never hesitated, in the
midst of the greatest dangers, to foil jW the
examples of your chiefs, to repose your
selves in their prudence and their informa
tion. Those who have often conducted you
to victory can never exact from you any
tiling contrary to honor, and at this mo
ment, when ire.v dangers surround us,
you will suffer yourselves to be guided by
them.
Soldiers ! The love of country is ins pa
rable from the love of the sovereign ; you
will not be faithful to yourcountry, but inas
much as you will he faithful to the king.
Vi.u are always the object of bis paternal
solicitude, and you will learn very soon t >
dismiss all doubts, that he considers you
as the dearest of his children. Let us
rally around him, and we will deliver our
country from all the evils, from which she
is oppressed, and from misfortunes still
greater with which she is menaced. It is
thus that we will preserve without spot,
the glory that we have acquired in battle.
To lice from our enemies would be a cr.me
of which none of you are capable !—Let us
be united by love to our Sovereign ; let us
remain faithful unto death to the motto of
the brave, “ Honor and our Country,” ar.d

the squadron sailed for Three Kivcrs^B
ind Gran ’. Cove points, where about 2,GOoBjj
men disembarked. A battery raised on H|
Liic shore, and on which a single gun was Hj
mount- d, did not fire. No opposition Raj
could have been made to the landing of ^B
rite troops, which were protect d by the a|
formidable artillery of the vessels of war ^B
moored very near the shore.* flj
At 5 o’clock Sir James Leith himself H
