LONDON, August 20.
When the Empress Queen has completed her robbery in Poland she professes to retire from the world and apply herself to nothing but acts of devotion. Her Majesty should recollect, that when her great ancestor Charles the Fifth, Emperor of Germany, was seized with the like hot fit of royal resignation, he had soon very sufficient cause to repent it; for immediately after he was abandoned by all his courtiers, his income was ill paid by his son, the gloomy Philip, and he met with mortifications even in a cloyster.
