The P.blieiRc, in one of his late numbers, an
nounces 10 Europe that great changes are about
to take place in lower Italy that the States of
the Pope are about being diiinembered and
that Cardinal Fetch is to take an active part in
thefe events. If France were to interfere in
fuch changes it is not likely it would be to diff
member the territory of the Pope.
But who has made the Pubicife confidant
of thefe great plans? A journahft of Augsburg !;
and from whom has thar journalift received in
formation from agent in the pay of Eng
land and what is the aim of England to a.
larm the Continent (; to terrify the Holy father
to caufe Europe to believe that it reftS upon
volcano, and that France withes to ovcrturn eve
ry thing in order to- invade all. The Engliih
Agent performs bis talk and the journalt oil
Augsburg gains money; but how comes it that
the Publicifte, whole editor saman ofienie, and
whole proprietors are pTaife worthy men, lends
hand to that political ftock, iobbing 1t is be-
caufe the Editor fruits to an under clerk, and
that the proprietors gave themfelves no trouble
in reading the political articles that inherited
in their journal.
The fame paper has alto juft apprifed Eu-
rope that the King OF Naples is about going to
Sicily, and that MIR. Acton, whom that Prince
enlightened upon the intereas of his govern
ment, had removed from office, is on the point
of re-entering into his former functions with the
iupport Of 4 great power.
Who has made the Pubcifte confidant ?
convenient bulletin edited at Frankfort and
who has furnilhed that piece of news to the au-
thor of the Bulletin an Engliih agent; and
what is the intereft of that agent? 1t is to Gre
ate a belief that France will get hold of Ma
piles to create a fuppoiition that Europe con-
Germs itfelf for that great minilter who has IA
crifced the good of the country he governed,
to the advantage of England for that minitter
who, Frenchman born, is the mott invcterate
enemy OF France; who fat at variance the court
OF Naples with that of Verfailles; who was the
reproach and has become the adherence of the
people of the Two Sicilies, and who would get
into favour again in order only to bring the
King of Naples TO fall again into the fame errors
he committed in the years of 5 and S. But
that government has levied neither folders nor
fnh6dies. Of what importance is it to Mr..
A6fon whole money is placed III the funds at
London, what imports it the Editor of the Bull
letin which is written at Frankfort, provided
that by difquieting Europe they ierve England
The Publiciftc announced alto feveral months
ago that treaty had been juft entered into by
which the Porte had coded the Morea to France.
From whence did the journaif get this nfor-
nation He had it from bulletin maker at
Hamburg or Bruf1els, who had it from an En-
glib agent.
Such puerile rhapfodes do not at frft fix the
attention, but their aim is, however, foon I'M
dertood by the effects they produce. This is
what has happened. Thu French papers were
carefully laid before the eyes of the Porte, and
General Bruno has caufe to be much furprifed
when the Rcis-Eaendi ihewed them to him, and
told him that upon its being mentioned that the
Morea had been coded to France, it had been
naturally concluded that France, intended to
take the Morea
If perfonS intereted in the conduct of jour-
nails with them not to be the echo of Englilh
turbulence they ought to pay daily attention
to the political department of their REFLECTIVE
papers. If, on their part, the editors fear be-
ing fnipected offomcthing more than neglect,
they ought to ab(tan themfelves from takin &
French news ont of the Augsburg Gazette, and
out of the bulletins of convenience of Frank
fort, Hamburg and BruIels. This is what we
have endeay CURED to prove by this article.
