Thou hast in song receiv'd thy fame.

but it is not of very prominent interest.
Hanover IS now restored to the king of
Great Britain the emperor of Russia is

appears that the French have yet done
nothing in Italy, and little, in comparison
with their exaggerations, in Germany.
Things now look very promising on the
continent. The attack u.,on Bologne by
Sir Sidney Smith, is TO be made immedi-
ately.
