ILARItY.
A Man gains more Enemies by
Partiality, than he makes Friends.
The ungenerous can have no
Claim to Friendship, nor have
they a Right to murmur at Re
taliation.
He who is corifcious of his own
Mifcond.ua, hates all those who
know it.
A sordid penuty, creates more
Enemies, than generosity makes
Friends.
Private Conduct shows the
internal Man.
There can be nb true arid sin
cere Pleasure in any finful and
vicious Courfc, though it be at
tended with all the Pomp arid
Splendour of outward Happiness
and Prosperity; for wherever Sin
er Vice is there must be Guilt ;
and wherever Guilt is the mind
will be reftlcfs and unquiet.

It is known here Vat our Conquers in
France, are attended with great difficul
ties, which were at ftft tittle expected.
Should the ex entopri/e fail this Season,
it will certainly bring on another Cam
paign at a great Expense, or we flball be
forced to make a Winter Campaign in a
foreign Country, where our Troops will
have no means of being recruited; we
rel, however for that upon the Ruffians,
Who will soon be on the frontiers of Bo
hemia; they are certainly on their march,
and came b, the Platinates of Pofen and
Kaliich : Their @jar termafters were al.
read, arrived at Breflaw in Silesia, on
the 14th of this Month. Tbefe Troops
are expelled to-be on the frontiers about
the middle of November, and are so in
ured to cold that they will be able to make
a Campaign in the bar deft Winter.
The Inhabitants es Tyrolil increase
their Complaints agatnft the federal Tri
bunals of that Province. The Exporta
tions of the late Emperor Joseph to this
Province seem inefraual; the Jmuggling
of Salt is Bill continued, to the great De
triment of she Revenue, and justice iQ
very badly adminiflered. ^T"!
Councilor G roller is ordered to
make a JiriEl Examination into these
abuses, and Report to bis Majefly.
October 6.— The Police of Vienna
redoubles its utmost Attention to watch
Foreigners as well as the SuljeEls of the
Emperour, who ma, be inf ebled with the
Spirit of Liberty.
According to the Observations which
have been feme time making, it has been
di[covered, that those Citizens wboje At
tachment to the Country was mofl depend
ed upon, are the declared Enemies of
monarchical Government, and have ever,
where endeavoured to make Profelitu to
this Opinion. It is found that PerJons
of all Cliffes and Conditions are in these
Clubs; it is feared therefore, that the
Tempeff, which muff burfi upon them,
will be the more dreadful.
