Ragusa, Feb. 12. The Factions and Cabals with which our Republick has been agitated during this last century are become more violent than ever. The Senate is divided into two parties, the old one is possessed of all the power which the new one has in vain strove to get from them.
The last, though composed of a less number of Senators, yet forms an equal share in this aristocracy; all the youth being of their party, who distinguish themselves with so much courage and resolution as gives reason to believe that they will put an end to tyranny. The last appearance they made at the Senate House, which they did by force of arms, they obliged all the Members, who would not be of their party, to quit the Assembly without doing any thing; so that there being no Magistracy fixed for the current year; the Republick may be said of itself to become extinct.
