The Journrl oficiel, after describing the re-
sources and patriotic spirit of the nation,
which has always been an obstacle to Prussian
ambition, asks: what other power would like
tosee Prussia making the North and the Baltic
seas Prussian lakes, invading smaller

secure the northern frontier of France, by
