I COMPARATIVE STATEMENT 
I OF THE PHYSICAL, ECONOMICAL, AND MORAL FORCES OF 
napoleon, in the years 1812 and 1813. 
January 1812. 
1. Napoleon was in absolute possession of the French 
Empire, the Kingdom of Italy, Illyria, and the Southern 
• part of Spain. 
2. He was undoubtedly master of the States of the Con 
■ federation of the Rhiue, of Prussia, of the Kingdom of 
I Naples, and the Grand Duchy of Warsaw; he had pos possession 
session possession of the fortresses on the Oder, and a limited alliance 
with Denmark. 
3. Austria dreaded his power ; her military system was 
reduced; circumstances rendered her his ally • she con 
seated to give him 30,000 men. 
4. Russia kept her ports shut; she had 120,000 men 
upon her frontier to preserve her independence, but she 
was at war with England and the Porte, and soon after 
with Swcdcp. 
5. This latter power was in a state of neutrality with 
r rance ; and Napoleon offered her subsidies to induce her 
to declare herself for him. 
6. Napoleon had an army of 500,000 veterans upon the 
Oder and the Vistula to attack Russia:—this war drew 
more than 600,000 out of his treasury, and 2000 pieces 
fr ° m hiS arsenaJs * The Po’es supplied him 
with 80,000 men, and 100 millions. He brought into 
this war 70,000 cavalry. 5 
7. Napoleon had in his owM hands the monopoly of 
Colonial products throughout almost all Eurone* This 
monopoly brought him in 100 lAliioiis. * ’ 

8. Napoleon drew contributions from Ansfria, f roi! j 
Paris, and Horn Illyria. He had the Revenue of all Italy 
from the confederacy of Germany, from Poland, and that 
of the French Empire, which amounted to nearly iqq 
millions. Notwithstanding those resources, lhe deficiency 
Tor the year 1812 was doubled- , ’ 
j 9. Notwithstanding the battles of Aspern and Ejlau 
Napoleon had preserved the reputation of being invincjl 
ible : he enjoyed an opinion that nothing could resist him himis 
is himis was sufficient-for him to order, end every thing g aV g 
I way to his will—(o order and it was done—to direct, 
jeiery thing bended to his wish; to announce an event 
ami the prediction was fulfilled. Spain alone formed an 
expection ; which* however, had not dissipated the belief 
August, 1813, 
1. Napoleon has lost « part of the 32d Military di T j 
-ion, a part of Illyria, all Spain, and the 
islands. 
t 2. Prussia, Mecklenburg, and the Grand Ducliy o f 
Warsaw, are now no longer his dependencies ; Prussia 
iaud Mecklenburg are, on the contrary, in arms against him 
I 3. Austria lias an a.-my of upwards of 400,000 men- 
II he is no longer allied to France, but has acceded to 
ik w alliance against her. 
4. Russia lias beyond her frontiers 200,000 men • she 
occupies the Grand Duchy of Warsaw; her ports are 
open, she is united with England, Prussia, Sweden and 
Spain ; she is at peace with Turkey, w'hich considerably 
encreases her moral force, and it has been proved by facts 
fiat she cannot be conquered. 
5. Sweden having entered into the new war, (ornishes 
more than 30,000 men, who are acting on the Continent 
6 Those 500,0U0 veterans of Napoleon have disappear 
■•d; he lias lost all his cavalry, several Marshals so 
Generals: of this army only some thousands of Officers re. 
main to him. The caflno ~ arm*, effects, and 6()0 millions 
are lost, together with Prussians and Polish contingents. 
He has only of the latter, 15,(XX) men, with the 
jlions of the country. 
7. That monopoly has almost entirely disappeared, since 
the ports of Russia and Prussia have been opened, since 
the war terminated bi twei u the Russians and Turks, and 
the English occupied.the Dalmatian Islands. 
8. 'I be Austrians, Polish, and Prussians contribution! 
tave ceased. Illyria is exhausted. The war and army 
xpt-uees have doubled. What then wilt be the d* licit for 
■tfte year 1813 : There no longer exists Continental SyL 
item against England—it is, in fact, destroyed. 
9. 1 he battles of Smolensk and Borodino, of Krc.twi; 
of Lutzen, and all the last campaign, prove, that with >n. 
i erior toices he can be resist* <1 and beaten ; and that, coa. 
si-qucntiy , he must lie bcatcu with equal forces,- aud des. 
jtroyed with superior ones. 
From this comparative statement, it result! that Napr 
jlcon’s pow er and glory have sensibly declined since tie 
j ear 1812. His army had then, besides 110,000 auxtli. 
arics, viz. 50,000 Pules, 30,000 Pre»suus, and 30,UK) 
Austrians; his enemy now dias an auxiliary force of 
330,(XX) viz. 20,C00 Swedes. His revenues havedccreas. 
eJ l(x> millions; and tie diminution wiil be still much 
greater, if we take into consideration what he drew by 
Requisitions from Prussia, and the countries of the Confe. 
delation of the Rhine, and the war contiibution of I’rus. 
'ia, Poland, and Austria. There was no Alliance against 
him except that of England and Spain ; no other Power 
hat cou.d make war against him, none other than Russia 
■ which was able to resist him. A new alliance now sob. 
Isists between four Powers, which are in a condition to 
appose him with 500,(XX) combatants- -whole nations will, 
ptiould it be necessary, be under arms. Napoleon so ful fulpy 
py fulpy feels the ditliculue of resisting them, that he almost 
abandons the Peninsula, which expose the Southent 
Provinces oi I* rance to invasion. Hrs army is no longer 
composed of veterans ; hiscavaky is no longer formidable, 
nor the most warlike in Europe. Four fifths of his army 
ire composed of young nu n, imperfectly disciplined,-and 
torn from the arts and agriculture, which produces an 
enormous deficiency in the total revenues of the States. 
1 he allies, or rather the slaves of Napoleon, are no longer 
able to furnish the conugcnts he had imposed on tnem. 
Deprived oi the greater part of his former resources, be 
no longer possesses either the means or the right of dictat dictating 
ing dictating the conditions of peace. He will not be able to pro. 
cure new States; he can only obtain it by sacrificing a 
part of those he possesses, which will augment the relative 
power of his opponents.-*—lf he continues the war, the 
chances are against him—the loss r.f several States, which 
he has already sustained, has not been Counterbalanced 
oy auy new conquest. In losing 600,0C0 of his troops, 
ue acquired new enemies, who will combat him with the' 
same forces which have before supported his cause and 
his interests. Six millions of Prussians, nineteen mill* 
'■ons of Austrians, and four millions of the Duchy of 
Warsaw-—in all twenty-nine millions of men, who were wereunder 
under wereunder his controul, or his allies, are now united 
him.—The deficit in his finances , will augment without 
measure, and force him to aggravate the state of constraint 
and the sufferings of his subjects, which he can no longer 
relieve by his foreign receipts.—All those consideration! 
should have induced him to make peace; but it now re# 
mains for the allies to conclude it on such a basis as will 
render it solid and honourable. They Will augment their 
physical and moral force; draw closer their reciprocalitics; 
whilst he, directed by the same ambition, the same destruc. 
tive objects, will be obliged to pay with his own finances, 
those who serve him, and maintain at home an army which 
will increase the malady which is undermining his gigantic 
empire, and which will crush him finder its ruins. 
EXTRACT FROM TtfE FRENCH PAPERS. 
THE CROWN PRINCE OF SWEDEN. 
Paris, OcL 14, 1813.—When Sweden, seeing order 
established around her, and finding herself done without 
the natural boundary of her policy, exposed to the <n«- 
sasters of a war, contrary to her interests, found the ne necessity
