ne palace oil Schonbrun in which ,h.
emperor resides was bull, bv Mari,
ihefesa, whose portrait is to be seen in
almost every apartment. In he cab;n.,
which the emperor now occupies, j. a
marble statue of that empress. The -m.
pcfor on seeingit, observed. that if ,h.,
great queen was yet living, she would not
let herself be governed by the inlripoes
OF such woman as Madame de Colleredo.
Constantly surrounded as she always wac
ny the great men Of her nation, she wor,a
nave known the will of her people. Sb.
YOU'D not have pc mitted her provinces 70
be ravsged by Cossac. & Moscoyi,.,. In
debating on war with France, sb. won,,
Hot have consulted with such cour,;er =,
Iebehize', who, by far too well acuuaiD,.
ed with the intflgues of his court, fears 10
d'spiease strange woman, shamefpIIv in
vested with an influence which she alb,
ses--nor by such writer as CoIlembscb
by man, in fine, as universally de,es.
ed as Lamberiy. She would no, have
gwen the command Of her army to sucb
man as Mack, appointed not by the v;lI
OF the sovereign, not by the confidence nf
The nation, but By England and Russia.
JUDGED there appears to be a remarkable
unanimiiy OF opinion in he nation agains,
the measures OF The court. Citizen. or
all classes, the mos, enlightened men.
even the princes themselves, are onnos.d
to the war. II is said that prince Charles.
al The moment OF setting out for the ar
my Of Italy, wrote to The emperor, renre
sen'lng to him the imprudence of bic
conduct, and predicting The downfall Of
the monarchy. The eleetnr of ssI,,bu,.
the aFchdukes, the Dobies, all held IN.
same language. The whole continent
ought to regret what The emperor ofCer
many has done, who wishes well, who
sees better than his ministers, and who
might be great PRICE, but for his die
tdence in himself and living SO constant
" retired He would learn from the M.
bleS oil the empire, who esteem him, a
Just confidence in himself. But none Of
those who understand and cherish the in.
terest oil their country, ever approach his
csbInet.-Tbis seclusion, for which III.
empress is blamed, is the cause of Tho,
universal hatred which the nation has
conceived against that princess. Long
as this order of things shall remain. The
emperor VIII never know the wishes OF
his people; but will always be the tool OF
corrupt English agents.. who continually
surround him to prevent him from BEING
informed. There is but one at Vienna.
as well as at Paris--The misfortunes of
the continent is the dreadful work of
England.
