tains an order from the Emperor to the
heads of all the civil officers at his court,
commanding them to require a declaration
by oath of every psrfon employed in the
!, respective Offices, that he belongs to no f.
cret fociety or fraternity, either within the
Aufrian dominions or in a foreign coun-
try, or ifhe does, that he will immediate
ly renounce f~oreyers fuch ~fociety. This
oath is annually TO be, renewed, and every
Perfon who refciea TO take it is to. be dit.
unified infantry from his Office. The mo
tives alledged for this order, are, that e.
cret f~ocietles have been proved, by expe-
@rience, one OF the principal fources whence
the mott pernicious principles have been
spread, true religion undermined, morality
1fnot wholly deitfoyed, at leaft, very much
perverted, party fpirit, by every poGiblc
article irtAamed { tie hisheA degree, and
even the peace and happiness Of domeaic

quate balance for France. By the opini-
on OF thote who have a nearer view of it
than | Can have, its greatef want, is a
want, ot men-not of people, nor of Eoldi-
erS ; but Of men, capable of conducting a
great empire. This deficiency prevails IL
adePlorable degree. II refults principal
ly from the nature Of the government and
the fpirit of the reigning religion. The
frit checks all enterprise, and the fecond
ftifes all enquiry. In fuch a fate OF
things how ihould nsn be formed either
for action or for mediation?
The late prime miniaer Thugut, was a
man OF great address, Of wit, Of genus /:
but without application, without princi.
plesand without heart. The want of thefe
qualities left him blind, where a child
ought to ave feen, and funk him where
lead would have IVAN. The Archduke
Charles, recalled TO fave his country and
his houfe, when human power could fave
the'n only at the e&pence of hame and diff
uemosrmen:, juffeled perhaps p%erfonal re-
tentIaents to lave TOO great influence over
Inn, or eonidered his own power as pre-
car;ons 10 long as Thugut was not formal.
