Observations on Par 2.

For this statement I suppose we are
obliged to the author of this argument. I have not
met with it, nor should I think of looking for it,
but in the persuasion of finding it, as erroneous
as these deductions are inconclusive. True, it
or false, it is equally incapable to throwing any
other than a false light on the present question.
According to this pretender to superior "knowledge",
the writers on the other side show themselves
"very little acquainted with the different interests
"of the several powers of Europe". Without the pains
of studying that exact statement, it will shall be seen
whether he possesses any tolerable conception of the
interests of any one.

Text. Par. 3d.

"The necessity of a Continental ally being
allowed on all sides, the enemies of the treaty
in question could do no less than to point out
another power, as preferable to the King of Prussia;
and they have wisely fixed upon Russia."

Observations on Par. 3.

Somewhat less unwisely than those who
fixed on Prussia. An unimpregnable Empress
with twenty five or thirty millions of subjects, is a
less ineligible ally, than a collection of disjointed
scraps and fragments, made up into a nominal
Kingdom, with less than six millions.
