The Revolution which has been so
faddenly brought to bear in Poland, is
a most driking and interesting event ;
and, if well Supported and carried to
perfedion, will give a very different
face to that country from what it has
worn under the former miserable feheme
of an elective Monarchy. It is a coun
try wonderfully rich in population and
produce ; and under good government
may rife to great conference among the
powers in that part of Europe^ The
Crown being given to, and made here
ditary in the family of the Elector of
Saxony, it seems probable that the Uni
ted States of Poland and Saxony will be
I drawn into a political connection with
^he King of Prussia, and thus a strong
connterpoife may be formed against the
overbearing weight of the Imperial
Crowns of Russia and Austria. Some
apprehensions are indeed excited left the
profpeft of this rivalry, may induce the
Empress of Roffia, ready armed as She
now is, and perhaps the emperor of
Germany to create troubles in Poland,
where there is still a party difaffeded to
the plan ofhereditary Government ; and

another informs that the impreA Service
