Its want of official form, and its circulation only in manuscript, under any other circumstances, would eutirely destroy its weight ; but from the enslaved state of the press at Hamburgh, in the Ileitis of the French, however to slerate end just the senti ments which it contains may be, it mina be considered no person would dare to publish it mienly, however well coming:oA of its an thruticit)•. As mu argument in favour of the claims of Austria to the good opinions of Europe, and a vitidiention of the measures of vigour and precaution which she has taken, the statement it fair one; but it dots not appear to possess any other merit, nor do we see any good effect that it is likely to produce. Declaratious of this kind are chiefly titterer:Mg, as official acknos led ; , Meats of the nettled relation* between two powers, upon which some doubt or mistinderstandilig way rest, as lung to the mind is left at the mercy of public rumour and interested speculation.
