out to the last extremity, and tits mention
ed, as n significant fact, that he has succeed
ed in negotiating loan at Vienna. In
protest recently issued by him his despond-
ency is nevertheless very evident. He com
plains Of the decentralization Of his troops; of
the treachery of many who formerly held
high places in his service, and Of the apathy
of all the Continental Powers: whom he ac-
cuses Of shrinking more Of their private ami
mosities than Of the great principles Of order
and the security of thrones" ".--LI = r--:
