press Frederick is regarded ss proof, says:
''The French have right TO think Of revenge.
but they have no right TO injure the feelings OF
| the head of this empire and his mother by in

fleets the general opinion among moderate

achieved. The check to the Prussian is COM
piete and French dignity iS saved. The further

men. II therefore behooves US to abstain from
such demonstration.
