" His Imperial majeftr, after repeat

We still flatter ourselves, here, 'that
should our armies advance into Belgi

been appointed to assist the Archduke ;
that general is one of the best Rilled

It is now certain, that as the Frerieh
insist on such terms of peace as cannot
be acceded to by the enalefced powers,
the courts of Vknna,Peterfborgh, Lon

mined, more than ever,to continue the
