on his rerurn from his hotel to ildephonfo, and that

An evening paper f ys, great preparations are actu
ally making at Vienna, for the reception of tee grand
duke hod dutchefs of Raffia, who are shortly expected
in that capital. The appartments which their imperial
highnesses are to re'de, are to be hung with superb ta
pestry of the Gobeline m^nufadury, which theeraperor
received a@a present from the king of France, the firft
time he vinted that monarch ; and a coach is now buil
ding for illufirious travelers, which is to surpass in
magnificence any thing of the kind ever made in Ger
many. It is said, also, that fix Aufirirn regiments
are to march to the frontiers of Auflrian Poland, to re
ceive their imperial highnesses ; and that at regulated
distances, other regiments are to be flationed, to serve
as guards, as long as the Imperial guests may think
proper to sojourn within the diftrid of each regi
ment's cantonments. Count Brigido, president of the
regency of Auflrian Poland, has been already ap
pointed to receive their highnesses on the frontiers,
and he is to keep open table, and to entertain them
with balls, concerts, and plays ; for which purpose a
company has been engaged, and is to travel in the suite
of the count to Vienna.
The French have made as fltong *lalliance with the
landgrave of Hesse Darmfladt as we have with the
landgrave of Hesse Caffel. They have given him tie
German regiment in their service, heretofore known by
the name of royal Baviere, but which has lately teen
changed for that of Hesse Darmflad, changing, at the
fame time, their uniform and colours, and taking au
oath of allegiance and fidelity to the landgrave. The
ceremony on the occasion was brilliantly superb, and
was performed at Nancy in Lorrain, where the regi
ment is now in garrison: It is flill to continue in the
French service.

And sheds its honours o'er the ground.

So biufhes at the voice of praise ;
So ripens in the noon of years,
And withers so in life's decays.

How fwift you happiest moments glide—
How very soon your charms decay.
