OF THE
of POLITICS
iIATE
FOR "THIS WEEK.
IF the last week seemed to be a week of tran
quility, and diftinguilhed, not for a multiplicity,
bur by a paucity of what are called news, or in
tcreiling events, the present week, like a storm
after a calm has manifefted various wrecks of
the hofhle and furious paffiont of contending
nations, and of civil discord.
The great effort made by the Fiench army
under
CUSTINE
to raise the ficge of Mayence, and eventually
that of Cafiel, has been attended, with great
Uaughter on both fides. The object of this effort
has not, indeed, been completely attained, but
the French are not To much straitened as they
were before in their quarters. 1 heir advanced
post being now in poflciHon of the lame ground
that was formerly occupied by .their invaders.
On the northern and eaftcrp frontier the
French arms have likewise made a fuccefsful
/ally ; they })av« seized and plundered the town
of Furnek, and beat J»ck the Austrian and Ha
noverian troops to Gftend. In a word, the
French, from the vivacity of ; thai t ipiric with
which they are aAuat«;d, and their refuurces
and numbers, if they fuffer difaaer and iofa in
one piacL*, gain advantages in another.
On the other fide, the fptrit of their oppo
nents, the confederated armies, is equally per"
fevering, and their refonrces as abundant. From
ENGLAND
they have received at the port of Oftend the
rood fe-afoi bit and encouraging supplies of
troop>, animanirion, arms and proviiion. Ia
the don-.imoi, of Austria and Pruflia, and other
pam of Germany, new levies »r$ couftautly

successes of that, honed and- brave dafs of mjjn .
seem to be on the increase; whitethefpirit With

more widely difFufed; of which we haVe a tcin
fpicuous proof and cxairipld in thfc voluntary
surrender of
THREE FRENCH. SHIPS OF WAR
to the governor of the Spanifti Island of St. Tri
nadad. If there be any truth in the report that
an army is on the point of being sent the aid
of the Bretons, from the Empress of Russia, the"
spirit of loyahy will -blaze forth in France wiilf
ilfll greater rapidity. i
- But whatever truth there may be In Ehii im
port the cause (if moderattt<Tmonarchy in Ffante
will doubtlffs derive no fmali countenance apd
support from the Britifti fleet that has failed ijn
der
ADMIRAL LORD HOOD
into the Mediterranean, the probable ol>je& of
which is the reduction ojf iQorfica. That the
importance of this iiland to Great-Britain may
be rightly understood, it is to lie observed, that
with the-capital and industry of JBrltjlh mer
chants and planters, it is capable of producing
"as much coffee, cotton, silk and oil, as this coun
try consumes; & that it is already stored with as
much wood as would go a great way towards
maintaining the Britilh fleet for more than half
a century. Here it is natural to recoiled that
another island, producing cotton, coffee, See.
has been lately restored U» the Britilh empire.
It is needless to remind our readers that weal
lude to the capture of the iiland ofj w
TOBAGO
in the Weft-Indies. While new fields are thus
opened to Britiih enterprize and cultivation j it
would certaiply be ra(h and impolitic to indulge
top,great a spirit of fpcculation on the fubje& of
a nun mediate and totai abolitiou of slavery. »
In the course of this week the part that
AMERICA
is to take on the present theatre of politic* has
been ai'certained; Ihe is, very prudently, to ob-
|-ferue au €xa& neutrality.
The formation and embodying of a militia,
■which is granted to Scotland as a matter of fa
vor, is, itfeems, confideredin !

as an obje& of diflikej and a fubjedt of cord

fion of his
MAJESTY'S BIRTH-DAY,
the fame spirit of loyalty appeared that has beer
strikingly manifeftedamong all ranks of Britift;
fubje&s, ever fmce the King's indifpdfitiort et»

of French agitators their apprehensions fdr thai
