Will Uussia, Austria, and Prussia, combined, be able to dictate a system of government to the states of Italy ? Will France and Spain concur in this system ol dictation ? What will be the policy of Great Britain in case of a rupture in Europe on this subject ? Has not Great Britain the means of checking or controuling the designs of the Continental Monarchs ? If the physical force of Great Britain is not aucquv te to this purpose, can she not, by releasing Bonaparte, and landing him on the shores of France, contiihutc greatly to the frustration of the ambitious

designs of the ontincn'al Monarchs Tranquil and prosperous as fiance a(V pears to be from the last advices wouldVv not the arrival of Buonaparte, under too

auspices of Great Britain, be followe.' by an instantaneous revoution of the government in his favor ? These are queries hastily propounded, but may perhaps open a field for wider and more deliberate speculation from some of vour political correspondents. A B.
