The contents of tins letter are probable cnoug,i
and tr,ist, it s,ic be the policy Of of "! Tai.
lcyrand, that the allies viii take measures 10
counterfeit il. And a. faras we are able 10 judge
by the papers that arrived this morning, they ara
resolved To take them. Az least we think we
can discover some change Of aystem, produced
probably by the conviction that nothing will
prevent the French from disturbing the rei,ose Of
europe, but making them feel what the miseries
OF war are, and so reducing their territories ~ TO
render them unable 10 undertake war with any
chance of success or advantage The dcpart-
ment of the Meurtile was ordered lately 10 fur
nsh so much cloth and other things for th,. Rus
sian army. II could not furnish the quantity and
was therefore ordered TO pay four millions and
a half OF francs. \ petition was presented to the
Emperor OF Russia 10 reduce thefsnusiton, but
the emperor replied that it must be complied
with. The Austrian Governor OF Tie departments
of Jura, ain, Tsere, and MCMILLAN, has directed
an account ofail the government property in the
HAMS of uersceisers general, to be sent to him in
43 hour, unsier severe penalties. The aysena, at
