Political reflections on France and Austria in War Era
A correspondent in Vienna writes at length critiquing France's ambitions and the Austrian alliance.

The writer cites Prussia, Bohemia, and imperial politics, warning of strategic concessions in Flanders to secure quiet years. Sam, Sir, At Mountsbay the Barbadoes Packet, Deason, from the Streights.
