We are generally persuaded here, that Mantua will be restored to the emperor. Some letters even go to the length of stating that the Austrian troops are already in possession of it. But how this is to be reconciled with the last accounts from Italy, which state that the fortifications of Mantua are repairing with great dispatch, and that new magazines are forming there, besides other circumstances, which lead us to suppose that the French are not inclined to give that place up to the Austrians so soon.
