THE GER^NEMPIRE
LJAS gaed a principal part in
4 I the prefect warlike drama ,
arid for some time hat entounreri

the commerce men, of the truce,
at ihe conch)fion of the campaign.
It it not aeceffary for us to go in
to a detail of the negotiations
which enfoed. We beheve the
French, anxious to eftab'ifh a
powerful Republic on herfouth
ero border, has been willing 10
cempenfate Austria, for the lefi
of Mantua, with the Venetian pro-
Cees of Iftria and Dalroxtir, 6to
d on the esftern fide of the Ad
ie, and acj cent to Auftii Ro
per gnd Hungary. This exchange
the Emperor has been averse to
making at dishonorable acd dif%d,i
rWageous ; and from the latest
account! feemi more inclined to
fifk another campaign, than fol
lose what the Germans have con*
(idered the Key of Italy. Indeed
we qanbot fay, that either pswer
has been fircere io in desire lor
an eatable peace.—On neither
fide has the least diminution of
the apparatus of war, been made.
The French forces have held their
commanding peficioni ; and the
Hungarian Mafi (or the whole
miitia of the Kingdom) hat nev
er been difbinded. The troops
on the Rhine have been contiou
ali, augmenting ih number ; and
the activity of preparation# thro'-
obt has in no wife §elaxed. More
feenea of bloodshed /may there
fore be expe&ed.
Io the interior of Austria we
fee nothing ^worthy of comment $
except we notice the life Order of
the Cabinet of Vienna, for fitting
at liberty the Marquis de la FSyi
ette. —This eveof 'proves, that
the long captivity of this amiable
man, has been the foie aft of the
Emperor ; —what his motives
were, are still hid in uncertainty.

(he is the only one which ma, be
laid to have gained any thing by
it.—Her corquefts in India have
been many—of which Pondicher

from the Dutch, are among the
most confiderablej hi Africa the
has acquired the Cape-of Goofy
Hope; and in the Weftern
World, several fertile and valuable

With a force so confiderab'e,
Grev-Britain has a claim to the
firft maritime power on earth.—
Her land forces are not numerous
compared either with France or
Germany ; sod they are scatter
ed in various quartet# of the world.
The greeted body of her troops
isin Ireland,—This military force
must be kept ugat great experfe ;
and ootwithftanding the ground
work for boaftirg it ma, afford
to Englishmen, it must make ife
the people who are nereffi ated to
Support it, anxious for ica diminu
tion :— Thia anxiety is repeated
ly expressed in memorials and pe
titions; which are however, eith
er unread 1 or on egard^d.— Mr.
Pitt's power is Supreme, and he
appears only to ilk for new grants
cf money and they ace given ; to
propose new fixes and they are
levied.—=New otjeds are readily
found, are complained ,ts for a
