Extract of a letter from a gentleman of deep observation and strict veracity in Hamburgh to his friend in this city.
HAMBURGH, JUNE 15
"The German newspapers, I send you, are intended for one of your newspaper printers In making use of them, I must remark, it will be necessary to observe that they are forced almost all to be partial against the French; and that their boasted victories are neither so decisive, nor so great, as is related. The war wastes terribly in lives and money, and the Emperor and Prussia are almost exhausted in point of finances. Unhappily those mischievous New-Jacobins do all to promote and second the measures of the German and other conspired princes. Marat, Robespierre and Danton, are really the greatest enemies of France. But their party begins to fall: and is entirely destroyed at Marseilles, Bourdeaux, &c. only Paris and Lyons support it."
