[Mohawk Mercury.]
From a London paper.
Remarks on the state of public affairs.
The Cabinet of Catherine contains politicians whose views, we have reason to think, are not to afford England material assistance in acquiring the absolute empire of the seas, by which she would be afterwards in a condition to shut up all the Russian ships in the ice of the North, and arbitrarily to dispose of her commerce as the merchants of London might dictate. There are other causes of jealousy which have fettered, and will still fetter the operations of the combined powers. And if France is to fall, it must be by her own divisions, and not by foreign hostility.
