An English paragraphist speaking of the late Emperor of Germany says: Wherever he himself went, tranquility followed his steps. In Hungary every symptom of discontent was done away by his presence.—In Bohemia all was made easy at his word—Such effects do virtue and justice ever carry with them.

"By his death, it is much to be feared, very different scenes may be opened. A young Prince, in the Archduke, and heir to his crown, may be too fond of war. He may listen too readily to the insinuations of the emigrants, and be too hasty to revenge supposed affronts upon his territories. In short, by the death of the late Emperor, we may again see a great part of Europe deluged in blood. At all events, the loss of a good man is ever to be regretted, especially in a Prince: and when it happens through foul means, the instigators and perpetrators are all equally to be detested and considered as acknowledged enemies to mankind."
