of the neceliaries of life. 
GERMANY. 
Aufiria. The tufpenfion ef arms be- 
tween the Emperor and France, has been 
chiefly’ employed by the former in pro- 
viding fupplies from all quarters, of men 
and money, fer the vigorous renewal af 
warlike operations, as foon as it fhall 
have expired. For this purpole, — the 
“ftates of the Empire have been affem- 
bled at Ratifbon, in order to vote their 
contingents in money, under 
of Roman months; and from the majo- 
@ity of them, the-Hmperor has obtaine 
part, or the whole ‘4, his, demands. 
Mean time, a new loan of three millions 
from Great Britain is fuppofed to be 
agreed upon, and part of it is faid to 
he been already received. Moreover, 
Ruffia has been engaged to afford her 
alirtance more heartily than fhe has 
hitherto done; and the triple alliance 
between Auftria, Ruffia, and England, 
has been ftrengthened by the tics of mu- 
tual intereft. Yet peace is on all hands 
allowed to be the great cbjeét for which 
Germany is contending, and which, from 
{carcity, and the immenfe lofles in men 
and money, is become more and more 
necefiary for her. 
Prujia. The repofe which the king 
of Vruifa has procured to his fubjeéts, 
by the feparate peace which has been 
made fo heavy a charge on his honour, 
continues vindifurbed « neverthelefs, his 
necefiary affociation eh the orher 
plunderers of Poland, has lately obliged 
him to enter into a new alliance with 
thote powers, w rhich is fuppofed to have 
fome farther amb tious fchemes in view. 
Tt was ftrongly reported that his motions 
{ome time ago indicated a defign of falling 
upon fiolland: but this conelufion ap- 
pears to have een premature. Yet his 
openly coun:enancing the Orange faction 
In that country, and his complaints of 
the Freach for fappofed violations of the 
line of demarcation, and fome other of 
the conditions of peace, feem to favour a 
doubt that his re{umption of arms would 
be a‘confequence of any favourable op- 
portunity to agerandize himfelf, thould 
the war much longer continue. 
HOLLAND: ~ 
The moft important bufinefs, which 
appears at prefent to agitate the republic 
of HOLLAND, is the eleétion of a National 
Conyention. “As there was a confidera-

Sardina. The king of Sardinia, 
thongh fubfidifed by. England, has fur- 
fered fo much from the war, that an 
accommodation between him and the 
French republic is fuppofed not to be 
far diftant. _ In addition ta his diftreffes, 
an infurreétidn in the ifland of Sardinia, 
which has almoft proceeded to a ont 
war, muft render peace ftill more necef- 
fary tohim. Milam and the other im- 
perial polleiiions 1 in Italy were ima ugined 
to be reduced to imminent dange ee oaceyb a) 
the annihilation of the army of general 
De Vins; but the French not having 
pied their fuccefS as was expected, 
the alarm in thofe- countries has ne. 
what fubfided. Still, however, it is ima- 
gined that the vulnerable ftate of thefe 
wealthy and important parts of the Em- 
peror’ S dominions, may induce the 
French to make a _puth for obtaining 
that peace by fucceifes in Italy, which 
they failed of doing in Germany. Vence 
has lately armed a {quadron for a cruife 
in their feas, which,’ according to the 
pelicy of that fiate, can have no other 
object than felf-defence. Grea is fill 
expoled to the injuries and infults of 
thefe of the contending powers, who 
poiic{s a temporary fuperiority in her 
neighbourhood.

Whether this power will long main- 
tain the neutrality, which. its peace with 
the French republic has given it, is a 
matter of much doubt. Its marine has
