When the calamities and ex haustion of France shall have equalled the measure Of her crimes, and afforded ample security against her ambition, then only will the Allies make peace,' and with any Sovereign the French may wish to retain, though it is not unlikely but the of Austria may be exerted to support the son-in-law of the Emperor Francis.
