August 7.

We continue to think, that, unless the Emperor of Russia interferes, or has interfered, there will be a great danger of a coalition between France and Prussia against the Germanic Empire and the House of Austria. There are many rumours afloat on that subject, to which we do not give entire credit, but it is evident that France and Austria eye each other with suspicion, if not hostility; while the King of Prussia makes his court to the Consul, and is determined to be the rival of the present Emperor. Perhaps they consider that ancient and honorable family an exhausted Dynasty.
