    vrcrs . Tp 14 qcler stand the political events of the present days , we must look back to a distaat period . It is not necessary to go up to the original creation of man ; but the Christian will be attentive to prophecy , and his basis ia © n that great T > ror > hecv revealed to a statesman , to a

    prune minister , to Daniel , one of the wisest of the sons of the east . He has given us a view of the four great empires destined to fill the world with blood and slaughter , and devastation . Under the image of that abominable statue erected b y * the proud king of Babylon , the emblem of civil and religious tyranny : he hm described the governments of the

    '• world most interesting to us . The horrible statue is not completely fallen from Irs base . The stone , cut out of the mountains without hands , has not performed its work ; yet the Chrispian rejoices in the midst of the . troubles of th , e £ imes 4 that the statue must fall , and civil ajnd religious tyranny be abolished . We live in the later tirn ^ s , predicted

    under that image . We have seen the cpmpkte fall p £ tte Roman empire and name- No longer is there any Caesar ; for it . must , be kept in mind , that till

    very lafcely this was the title of the head of the German spates , and his title was that of head of the holy Roman enapire . Ji new powsr has arisen in JEurope .

We begin our survey , as far . as it , relates to dur own cotmtry , at a very extraordinary crisis . A * few years ago ,

    Great Britain joined in the greaf c 0 rj * federacy against Fraace : that confederacy has been completely broken , and in every object or pretended object of that unnatural confederacy ^ Gre ^ t JSrjtain has completely failed . The Kia ^ of Qreat Britain nas lo&t his h

    nations of Europe have qtiitted her standard . She , who supplied mofiey _ * f * profusion , is now left without an ally , except we may reckon as such Sardinia and Sweden . As great an outcry a * Great Britain raised against . France , a few years ago , just zs great an outcry has France , raised against England , for its pIBended inordinate tyranny on the and

    seas : in this cry the nation ^ pf Europe haye joiijed with her , and they * range themselves heart and hand under the French standard . A war of a very extraordinary nature has taken place of that which lately desolated the Continent . The nations of Europe are employed in healing the woundis inflicted on them ; and Great Britain and France ** stand forward as the two great

    contending powers . Attempts have been made to restore peace to mankind ; the one by mean a q £ Russia , the other by . means of Austria . The mediation © f these powers has been * rejected by Great Britain , and the ambassadors of both * powers have left quit court . We have declared war against

    our ^ n-cient ally of Russia , and we shall probably soon hear , that Austria has de * clared war against us . Great Britain , excluded from the Continent , a » d -4 c « sertcd by every ally , has now to lament , that it . poured forth its treasures ixf . . $€ * lavish and 90 useles * a manner on ike Continent .
