AUGUST 31.

We are jolt informed 'hat 25 or 3o,ooomen of the
army of the coati are preparing to march for the
Rhine to cover the frontiers, which feem to be threat-
ened by the movements of the Auflrians If we but
recolleCt the very recent events of the laft war, and
confider till the meafures which have been adopted
to improve the interior of the pacified country, and
all at the inaigation of one will, equally wife and vi-
gorous, provident and alive, we may fay, without
any premature boalt, that the movements of Auftria
are only threatening to Auftria herfelf. For if thefe
menacing appearances are to produce the eff;es that
null probably mile from them, if that gallant army
ftt often roofed and fo often repreffed, and burning
with impatience for action, pour down without meet-
ing with any obflacle, upon an enemy that provokes
them, who can doubt of the ifTue'of futh a Rruggle ?
They will feel themfelves Rill animated by the ha-
tred that mull fire them againft England, who, they
moil know, are the inlligators of the war, and that
it is for England's fake alone that the whole Conti-
nent is to he put in a flame. Such an excefs of blind
imprudence cannot well be conceived on the part of
thole who are the (port of them, and who would ex-
pole thernfelves to became the victims of their own
imprudence.
