from the banks of the Danube. The news palalish

of the, Low Countries, thar Prince Eugene com-
manded the Bavarian Guards, is wholly destitute of

ing the smallest influence in political affairs. • The
Visit which he lately paid to his sister Hortensia

fail 'to ascribe to -some political object,' nutty be
inort nattirally explained by the desire of a bro.-

it seems that the articles burnt, consisting of
shawls and handkerchiefs, were furnished voltin;.

demanded from those passing by,, who were paid
for them. While we praiie the motive, we can-
not but blame the` manner by which individual li-
berty is violated. The moral force of opinion
ought to proscribe the Anglomania, and come to

the aid of our industry with all the energy .of the
national sentiments. The proscription ought to
