There cannot be more dissolutc CITY than
Nieuua, ore where female virtue WAS less
priced, and threfore less frequent. \ total
want Of principle, the love Of pleasure, and
the love Of tinery, are souniversally ditiuscd,
that wives and daughters, in not only what
we would call comfortable but even atlinent
circumstances, do not shrink from increasing
the means Of their encouragement by forgetting
their duty. IheJ slcratice themselves not
50 much from inclination As from interest!
You will probably find in Naples on Rome
as many ftithleSs wives, who are 50 from q
temporary and variable liking, tt, IL Vienna :;
bur YOU will not find 50 MANY who throw
away their honor from the loyc ot gain.
The advantage seems To be on the side Of the
italian. Worthless as both are, cNenn pass
ing liking Is sometimes less degrading than
the mere infamous calculation Of pounds,
shilingS, and pence, without even the g.
cusc Of poverty. The girls of the lower
classes grow up 70 oliCentouaness the rage tUl
dress and lu':i,y is no less strong among
them than among their supcrior, and, thro'

not too mach t. s:ts IS a general truth, that,
from the time they are capable ot feeling
this love Of show and easy living, they CON
slider their persons rs the fund which is to
supply the means Of its qualification, il i,
not seduction it is just a matter Of sale nor
ave mothers ashamed to be the brokers OF
thciY daughters. there is no want OF pur-
chasers. The most famous, or rather infil-
nous, is Prince kaunitl. lie is SAID to pos
scss gallery of purchased beauties that
might stand by the side Of IN Eastern Scra-
Clio. This was not enough. lntantinc years
OF some Of his victims produced trlghttul
charges against him. An incenscd father
disrcgdrding the danger OF accusing power
I ful man, complained directly to tic F.mper-
or. The Emperor instantly ordered kaunit2
to be imprisoned ald proceeded against Grim

months when left Vienna, and the inquiry
