tures of the laft peace ? Or, in (hort, preten

11 In attentively perilling the note of the
court of Vienna, we think we difeoverthat flu
wilhea to take as a bad* for Furure negotiations
the treat!?# of Luneville and Amiens ; but has
England, who lately refufed to re-eftablilh peace
on this very balls, yet adopted them ?
“The Cabinet of Vienna has not mailed
known, and if it fo happens that (he does not
wi(h to adopt them, his majefty the emperor of
Germany, who would not alfume the character
of mediator if he was not truly fuch, which cf
frntially conGfts in inflexible juftice and perfect
impartiality, has doubtlefs taken the fame mea
i'trrs, in concert with <dher power?, to compel
England to recognize his principle of mediation,
as he had taken to conftrain Trance ; (he no
doubt has fleets prepared, cruizeis fdteii out,
la fhorf, all the means which are indifpenGhlv
-neceflary to the end propofed.
“ The note of the Cabinet of Vienna throws
no light on any of thefe points. It is, howe
ver, eflential to know :—
“1st. Whether the court «f Vienna under-!
H inds that the treaties of Lnneville or Amiens
fliould be taken as the baGs of new negotiations,
or whether thefe treaties fliou'.d be conGdcrcd
as abolllhed ?
“ 2d. According to the lalt luppomion, on
what bnfis does the court of Vienna underftand
that the negotiations fliail be fettled ?
«• 3d. Whether England'has evinced her ad
herence to the principles of mediation ?
“ 4th. In cafe of a refufal on her part, what
meafuree are to be adopted by the mediator, &
what means are at hisdifpofal to compel her to
adhere to them ?
“ If the court of Vienna has rot put thefe
q 'eft ions to itfelf, and if it wants time to anfwer
mem, that alone iliould teach her that ftie has
ufed in her proceedings a precipitation, hoftile,
not only to all the a (Til ranees Pie has given, hut
alio to the end which llic declares herfelf to
have in view ; and, we may venture to fay, to'
wlut an enlightened policy would dictate to
the lioufe of AuRria. As to the reft, time will

convidlion of her own iiiterefts, or feduccd by
blind prejudices.’*

You may add, that the emperor, defirous of
fparing Europrthe calamities of a new war, has
made fuch advances as are compatible with the
honor of hia crown, in order to recal Auftria to
a fenfe of her true interefts and the obfcrvance
of an impartial neutrality ; and his majefly is
of opinion that the Ele<ftor, influenced by the
fame motives, fliould alfo fend a courier extra

i:s views in filling the Tyrol with troops when
its neighbors are at peace.
Reprefentations, at once wife and energetic,
made at the fame time by different cabinets,

We have accounts from Gibraltar, as late as
fhe 5 h October. They ftate on the authority
of letter, from Spain, that hoftilities had com
menced. near Verona, between the French un
der Marftial Masshna, and the Auftrians. No
particulars arc given. If the French army of
Italy (like that of the coall) had fat out on its
march towards Auftria, it is highly probable it
v as met by part of the Auftrian cordon, near
Verona; which is in the dominion nf Auftria
(formerly belonging to the State* of Venice) and
as probable that a rencontre enfurd. Marfhal
Massena we know too commanded the annv
of Italy.
Letters from Spain ftitc, that hoftilitics have
begun in Italy, and that a battle had hecn fought j
at Verona, between the French under Marfl.al
Masses A, and the Auftrians. If this ftatem* nt
he true, we hope the event ha* proved unfa
vourable to our enemies, as the Spanifti letters
mention no particulars. It is added, fume im
perial vedels have been carried into Algefira*,
bv French privateers; and it is a certain fa<5t,
that the Ihips of that nation (imperial) now iu
the Bay, have been directed by their Conful not
to fail until further orders.

has made a very ftrong oppofltion to the war;

There is one thing I cannot help remarking to
whilft on this fiihjert, and that is, that the
French manifeftos have of late efterted much
convirtion on the minds of thofe who have read
them of the injoflice of the war itfclf, and of
the folly of its longer continuance. There is a
fpecious, but honeft avowal, of the temper and

has taken away much of that refptrt which we

“You recoiled the trouble Mr. Pitt had,
when he refumed the tirft poll under the go
vernment, to procure any man of rank to join
him in thofe offices which the Hate has appoint
ed, fince my lift, and partly owing to the
Dnndas’yhtt.v^flj, lord Sidmouth and many of
his friends have feceded from the adtniuiftrati
on, and it is not an eafy affair to fupply their
ftations.—It may he prefumed that one great
reafon of thrfc movements is the age of the king,
anti the growing popularity of the prince—who,
for his decided opposition to the laft war—has.
as you well know, been difearded all favour at
court—and York elevated to importance—all
attempts are vain, to induce the prince to ac
cede to the profent public tneafures—of which
he plainly declares his opinion, and fcruples not
to fav, “ that they mujl, if psrjtjled in, elevate
i France, as much as they will lower Britain,”
and all rational men concur with him—Belides,
the friend fin p of Mr. Fox, and the intimacy
which fubfifts between the prince and the mi
nority are ir.furmountable obftacles to all ac
commodation between the king 8c prince—who
will, as long as he lives, refent the behaviour
of Mr. Pitt and his colleagues—on account of
their perpetual mifieprefentations of his poli
tical opinions. But the prince has proved him
felt to have a perfeift underftanding of the fpirit
and genius of the Britifti conflitution—and a
vows his opinions with the freedom of a patri
ot—and as thefe mull he always oppofite to the
arbitrary dogmas of the prefent miniftrv, it is
not furprifing that the people (hould feel fome
attachment even to the prince with his bad cha
raifter, when they fee him pcrfecuted for up
holding their rights. And before I clofe this
part of my letter, I cannot but (Lite a late oc
currence—the prince was indulging himfelf!
with fome of the leading oppofitionifts, when
the hatred ofthe eftabliflied clergy to the prince
and his party was mentioned, he laid, “ he
fuppofed that originated in a declaration which
he lately made, and which every day gave him
, frefti reafonsto fee the propriety of— tkar when I
he filled the executive department, he would
abolif.i the teft and corporation afls, a »d t
mancipatethe Catholics of Ireland.” Ami if
this Ihould be the effedl of h:••• being king—the
fooner the time arrives, the better it will be
ter the country.
“ You have heard already of the fupply of
n,500,0001. fterling w hich we have granted for

and which, it is underftood, is to be upon a vtrv
large fcale, requires large quantities of the food
of the country—which has already r.aifed flour
to 70S. per calk—in addition to this, our bur

are greatly increafed—The manufactories have
