letters of credence TO HE Majefy.
On the 18th OF Auguft, the rati6cations of
the treaty of peace concluded between his Ma
Jelly the Emperor, and the king of Italy, and
his Majefy the Emperor of all the Ruiiians are
to be exchanged.
The news makers have been rejoicing for fe-
veral days, and each cafs of dreamers or fpe-
Culators has made his tale according to his ina
rination or hrs interef. Some have put the ar
mics Of Auftra and PrufIia in motion and it is
impoflible to FAY what has been tletsiled con-
corning thefe two powers but they have not
faid that France and Pruiiia are united in the
fri6eG amty that the difficulties between
France and Auitria, which were excited upon
the fubje6 of Cattaro, are vanifhed by the trca-
~ of peace concluded with Ruflia, and that
the Rheniih confederation is now acknowledge.
ed by the Aufrian emperor and all the German
princes.
Spain having united her armies, and France
drawn hers towards the Pyrenees, has given

derftanding between the two powers. But

gancies. According to fome, a French army
Is direded to march into Poland, to crown
king in concert with great power. According
to others, Brtifh and French fleets are about
TO attack the Americans, &c.-Then they fay,
that peace is concluded, but that the accom-
pliihment of thefe great defigns, demands myf.

have already been prefented to his majety
~ hey lave not told, that although negocia-
tons With England began in March laf, and
have had fufhcicnt time to he matured, yet the
beft informed politicians cannot conjecture the
refult. The difpofition of France is uniform
that of it's enemies depends upon health or fick-
hefs, upon the prefervation or lofs of mniC-
ter who holds the reins of Euglifh politics.
Since the illnefs of Mr.. Fox has hindered him
from afiiting in council, it is natural that nego-
Citations fhould proceed flowly but If this &C.
]ebrated man ihould die, and if his death fhould
proloDg the calamitcs of war for the two ma
lions, never will lofs caufe more regret, me-

The miniters and ENJOYS undersigned, |
delegated TO the general diet of the Empire, |

have difurbed the peace of Germany almoft |
without interruption, and the political changes |
which have thesce refuited, have ftrongly prov
cd this fad truth, that the bond which formerly |
united the different fates of the Germanic |
corps, xs..;d not fecure this end, or rather that
it is already really diHolved. The truth has |
long been felt by every German and however
painful the experience of fevers years has been |
it has not only ihewed the weaknefs of the con-
fitution, respectable in it's origin, but become |
defective from the want Of liability, attached to
all human inaitutions. 1t is to this only thar |
the fo him in the empire, of 1906, can be at. |
tributcd, & which in its consequences caufed |
feparation of interefts between the northern and |
fouthern fates. From thatti time, ailideas Of coun-
try b common intereh have dfappcared tho |
exprefIions, war of the Empire, peace of the |
Empire have become usmeaning we feek in |
vain Germany amidft the Germanic body. |
The Princes in the vicinity of France, denied |
all protection, and expofed to all the evils of |
war of which they could not by their own pow
tr forefee the end, in the means furnihed by |
The contribution, were forced TO withdraw them |
