tfigue, ne IS neither more nor less than the
marrow. crafty politician Of the day. No,
thing bold or generous could ever find ad
mlttance into his mind a master of his
intrigue, he considers that alone as his
proper sphere; he avertsir from war as from
the worst OF evils: He would meet you for

system OF intrigue, an UNMARRIED Gissimuia.

sell his neutrality at as high price as il
his very vital interest required him to enter
upon hostility; he will perhaps sell his al
lance, but he WILDE careful TO countcrac,

Prom the commencement Of the war 81

Count Haugwitz is the creature Of cir
cums,snces, the minister OF the day. He
may conclude peace for Prussia he will
not conclude one for Europe. He acknow.
lodges no interest in. Europe but Prussia.
England has no place ia his political
map. he cares as litsie about Malta as &.
gYpt.
For Margravia,e,in Germany tewould
guarantee Bonaparse in the possession OF
both.
I, is indeed surprising how, any thiag
generous can be expec ed of cspr, thus
.proverbiaIly selfish. Those who know
Count Hsugwitz will no. indulge such
hopes.
What then IS the object efthis mission
Simply the irserest; the. exclpsiye, particI
lar interest Of Prussia. Should ceuD,
Haugwitz find Benaparte ina situation Of
difficulty should he find him under CIR.
cumstances, in fwhich the conduct Of Prus.
STA is Of importance 10 him, in this case
count Haugwitz, as we have said BE- fore, is
The creature OF circumstances he will as'
sumo perhaps a determined tone, and at
ter much tagging, sell the neutrality Of
Prussia at as high a price .ss possible. Or
the other hand, should he find him con.
queror shouldhe meet him on the road to
Vienna. Count Hangwi.x IS NOT the mar
who will risk his indignation BY standing
IN the way. Even this latter situation VII!

ingof Count Ha gwirz he will still n. axe
a bargain; the only difference will be, THAI
he will be compelled to take lower price
But at any rate, he will make a bargain
and not neglect circumstances, the whole
compass Of the wisdom Of such politici
ans.
In word, the object Of coun, Haugwisz
is one Of the darling principles of PIussiau
politics TO follow and avail himself OF cir
cums,ances,a system of intrigue, BY which
without the cost and risk Of war, tPrussis
has erected aud confirmed her monarchy.
Intrigue in states is cunning in private he
