Novsi 28. The manly mode of re

spirited temper, yet determined conduct,
so conspicuous in. their resolutions, at once
defeat the Vile alpersions of their adversit

In the publick Advertiser 'of yesterday,
there appeared the following article of
intelligence from Rome: " Within these

'E been twice at the palace of the Pretem
" der, of who!!! they have had a "
" audience, and it is whispered that they
" have brought him sinne very advanta—
" geous proposals ; hoWever, it is very
" much doubted whether he will accept
" them." Thus far this ingenious piece
of information, which the conductor' ofthe
paper professes' to give to the public]:
" exactly in the fame terms in which
it was communicated." The necess

of'psiasiin'g a single observation on the ? '

absurdity is too glarhig not to (tare com—
