THE STATESMAN.

LONDON:

11101011 AT, BEPTVMBEIt I, 1614.

11A.mone our extracts from the French Papers is a
speculative article from Augsburgh, in Bavaria, re-
garding the politics of Austria, which it represents as
dangerous to the peace and independence of the other
Germanic States. This is evidently en attempt to
PM jealousy among the German Princes against the
heed of the empire. It is even hinted .that some
Change should be made in the prerogatives of that
power. The Baverians are made to complain of the
vast accession of territory, which Austria is realis'
ea the aide- Pt Italy.:' It is difficult knowing
whether thei•P ate. the 1 sentiments of the Ho-
lmium themselves, their King, or of some
solitary politician, giving. vent to a talkative
inclination, or whether the article may not be of
French manufacture, intended to have 'an effect en
theapproaching deliberations at Vienna. The state
of public opinion on the Continent is certainly very
unsettled ; but we cannot but believe (those who
bare an immediate and personal interest in the pro-
longation of war excepted) the general wish is for
peace. In France and in this country we know
there are many disposed to prolong the inhu-
man trade . and cry of war—many who' have
fattened upon bloodshed, many whom the dliconti-
nuance of this unnatural means of deriving subsist-
ence has tnade ".ghauitt with woe," and like the
eagles, " long to follow to the field some warlike
laid ;f,.-others :there are to Whom the Irilsomi of
reverberations of the cries of the dying,
shirbl'teeital of scenes of desolation and misity,
and the 44 pomp and circumstance" of conquest, are
pecessary, merely far the purposes of description,
and preset-fing a falling credit with the public for
pews. These enemies to peace, it may well be. sup-
posed, will wish for a continuance of wit, andlidak
they peroeive it in every malicious pasqulntda, led
Scent it in every breeze that blows from the.pollotod
quarter which blood has crimsoned with an sternal
stain. But let us not thus strive to health the dove by
croaking, nor let the wishes of a few be mistaken
for the sentiments of the major part. Is oar opi-
nion the world is pretty generally persuaded that it
has had enough of war and its coneeqietices.--
Twenty-five years is
.quite Sutlicieat, we slsould
think, to satisfy any moderate appetite for fighting;
and if any additinitel arguments are wanted to con.
vince us of the quantum of human happiness that
has resulted to any party, from this long and unna-
tural struggle, there is not a country but can furnish
enough, they will be (ilia engraren, we fear, in
ton many hearth on too many tombs, supplied by
ut too many pallid cheeks, and uttered in too
rainy unavailing clies,and famishing voices, which it
will be long ere peace can attune to mirth and gladness.
'Europe longs for repose, and this country as much
as any requires the renovating influence of Peace,
and a wise policy, that will secure the blessings of
tranquillity by lessening our burl hens, .and allow us
to take rank in the comforts of life with those whom
we have rescued from thraldom, and look upon as in-
ferior to us in all other respects.

Paris Papers are received to the 30th, from which
we make the following extracts. . Some of them con.
lain matter ludicrous enough :
Pants; Aun. Z9.—On the 21th instant, M. henry
Yeattrßart, of Dunkirk, the descendant of the re-
Leaintevisailor, Was irat7oduced to the king.. :His
grwssaelher, Henry Jean-Bart, Commander of the
Donal frigate, and his eldest son, were killed in an
Utica with three English frigates.
The Chevalier Dans, Sub-Prefect df St. Denis,
had the honour of presenting yesterday a picture to
the Kiftg, upon which were fixed two of the teeth
a Shier), IV., the whole of his mustachoes, and a
small part of his linen.

The New York letter, mentioned in oar Paper of
the 21st inst. (article Nantes), concerning the sub-
mission of Pedon, was written by one of the first
houses in that city, aid therefore a confirmation of
it may be expected.

Mastro, Ana. 7.—The Proclamation addressed
by Viliawiceacirs tothe inhabitants of Cadia, against
the introduction of foreign news, has failed in its
effects. It would require a maritime blockade to
preveut the Sarions rumours which reach us from
every quarter, respectiug 'the pretensions
,of Kiug
Charles IV. Our political affairs are unfortunately
in a very unsettled state. The disorder of the
finances, the di ffereece of opinions about America,
are sources of j 11.111011041 which all the dedairiatioos
sk
of the world kill uoldiesipete. A
-
Pentium:non, AUG. 4.—The Marshals end De-
.
.puties r f the Circle of this City have, according to
old custom, presented on the 2Ath ult. to the Em-
• petor bread and salt upon a golden plate, hi a set.
Hire of grid, cut and ornamented with divers figoret
representing late events.
