/" most daring outrage against the
laws Of nations and the customs of clvliiz.

providentially frustrated in this hell.
ish plot the Elelsor of Bavaria, whose hy-
pocrlsy towards the emperor Of Germany
would alone have been sufficient 10 hand
down his name with irfamy to posseri'y,
was to have been principal agent. A
free passage for body of thirty 6avarian

was asked and granted, but only few
hours before they were to have arrived /,
the Duke received certain information that
they were French regicides in disguise, &
that their errand was to seize the person
I of the Emperor Of Russia. Not>a mo,
uieut was lost by the prince to defeat the
object Of these despetadoes the pern's.
SION for their passage through his terrific
ries was immediately revoked and orders
giQen to prevent srorn ttas moment with
the greatese vigilance every attempt that

to be hoped that shedeteetion of this and
similar atrsclous violations of the received
usage Of nations, viii induce a proper
