The Massachusetts Spy, Or, Thomas's Boston Journal

By letters from France we are informed, that the court of Versailles is under great embarrassment, on account of the late interview between the Emperor of Germany and the King of Prussia, which they apprehend in its consequences to be dangerous to the tranquility of Europe. The invasion of the kingdom of Poland, which followed their first conference and the partition of that kingdom, is likely soon to take place after this, is alarming, as the power of these two potentates being thereby rendered formidable, their union, it is feared, will produce an alteration in the system of Europe, to which the grandeur of France will probably be made the first sacrifice. The Duchies of Lorrain and Bar, the province of Alsace, and the towns that have been wrested from the imperial Diadem in Flanders, are objects which the Emperor must have in view.

While the claims of his Prussian Majesty on Great-Britain will, on the other hand, furnish a pretence for that enterprising monarch to fall upon Hanover, in order to add that Electorate to his other territories. Thus these two potentates, say the French, by adding territory after territory to their dominions, will become the arbiters of Europe.
