- Suceeffion is ill fercled. U581 A HIS Empire is the large® in Earope, and, France being excepted, the moft pow- erful alfo. Ruffia is governed in the moft defpotic Manner, and its Crawn is be- come elective by .the Law of PETER th Great. his Law may jultly be ftiled a very L n _great Error in Politics 5 for a Kingdom can- not be 1n no greater Danger than when the T'o prove what [ ad- vance, I need only fay, that the prefent Em- prefs ELIZABETH afcended the Throne by a Rebellion of the Soldiers, and the depofed Emperor IWAN is ttiil alive, Peterfburg is the new Metropolis of this valt | Empire': lts inhabitants are compuited to be 100000. The Number of the People 14000000, who all profefs the Greek Reli- gion. T heordinary Revenues of this Crown, tis fuid do not amount to 3500000 /. Sterl- ‘ing, but that Sum is mo:e confiderable in Ruffiz than 10000000 L. in England. The Army 8 300c00 Men f{trong, and the navy confifts of 36 Men of War and 125 Galleys. The Country produces Corn, Iron, Hemp, Flax, Honey, Wax and many forts of Lea- ther and Skins, which they exchange for Wine, Salr, Suzar, Ceffee, Tea, Woolen and Silk Manufattures. . The Ruffians have befides a very great Trade with China and the Eaft-Indies, from whence they bring Home by Land in Caravans, Gold,Silk, Tea and Chipa Ware. The People are of a chearful Mind, and a vigorous Conftitution : There are hardly any Perfons in Europe who can undergo fo great Fatigues, Hunger and Cold as a Ruffian Soldier. Arts and Sciences greatly increafe here, and the Ruffians have Academies at Mbofgow and Peterfburgh. They ‘adore fome facred Images, efpecially S¢, Nicholas,whom they look upon as their great Patron, The Ruflians Language is a Mixture of the Polith and Sclavonian. They ufed the Zra of the Creation of the World to the Year 1700 ; but the Czar PETER I. ordered them to ule the Chriftian ZAra by reckoning from the Birth of Chrit. The old Julian Calendar is ufed here, though the Gregorian or New Style isreceived by alm st all the otherPrinces of Eurvpe, and is much more correét and ufe- ful, Ruffia_and France are naturally Enemies : but the Court of France has of late found Means to infinuate herfelf in Favour at Pe- terfburgh throvgh the Credit of Aufiria and Saxony. Time will difcover, whether Frapce will not Jabour to bring about another Revo- lutionin Favour of the Swedes and the depof- ed Emperor ; for the Ruffian Auxiliaries that were-lately fent into Germany, to a& againft the Houfe of Bourbon, can never be forgiven. Inorder to prevent the Court of Ruffia having Influence in the Affairs of Germany for the future, his moft Chriftian Majefty will find it neceffary to encourage the difcontented Lords, to gain thofe on the other Side, and lay 2 ftreng Foundation fora Reévolutionand Civil War.. The true Interelt of Ruffiais to be clofely united with Zufiria, Poland, and the Maritime powers, againft the Swedes and Turks, her moft dangerous Neishbours. e T e A RSP #Y " HE Imperial Dignity being annexed to 4 this Houfe, and it being a natural Barri- ‘er againft the French and Turks, 1 thall not commita great Error, I"hope, if 1 give this Houfe the fourth Place amongft the European Powers. ~ Maria Taeresa, the prefent Emprefs Queen, rules over all her hereditary Domini- ons in an arbitrary Manner, and Vienna is the Metropolis and the Place of her Refi- dence. The Number of her Subje@s is faid to be above nine Million of People, who al- moft gererally profefs the Popith Religion s [ o™ (e A e ) though the Proteflant Religion is allowed in many Places. She has no Fleer § but her Land Forces in the prefent War amount to, 200.coo Men, the Gatsifons in Jtaly and the Netberlands being included. The Revenues are as the Court demands them, and are raif- ed by the States in Bobemia and Hungary. In Time of Peace the Revenues, amount to above 1500000'/ Sterling, and' in time of War double. TheAiris not reckoned health- ful ; but the People are of a chearful Tem- per, a fincere Spirit, and ftrong Body. The German Language is fpoken inAuflria and Bobemia 3 but the Hungarians fpeak their own Tongue, which is the Sclavonian. The hereditary Dominions of her imperial Majelty, comprehend Aufiria, Hungary, Bobemia, Moravia, Styria, Carinthia,Caniola, Tranfylvania, Sclavomia, Croatia, and a Part of Bofnia. Her Dominions in Italy are, Tuf- cany, Milan, and Maniue : 1o the Neiberlands Lrabant, Flanders, Zmiwerp, Namur, Lim- burg, Malines, Luxemburg, Hainault, and a Part of Guelderland. 'The Univerfities are at Vienna, Prague, Lourain, Florence, Milan, and Mantua. The Auftrian Dominions are fruittul countries, producing Plenty of Corn, rich Wines, Cattle, Gold, Silver, Iron, and Glafs, which the Inhabitants change with their Neighbours for Tea, Coffe, Sugar, Sik and Woolen Manufa&ures. The Houle of Auflria, has three dangerous and powerful Enemies, namely, France, and Turkey, with Pruffia ; and four natural Friends England, Ruffia, Sardinia, and Holland, The King of Pryfia hath now for the third time attacked the Emprefs Queen on account of an offenfive Alliance with Ruffia and Saxony againft him. One Campaign will probably thew the Event of this War ; but if the League fhall be carried into Execution, and France, Ruffia, and Auffria become fincere Friends, as they feem to be, then the Pruffian Alexander will probably yield Silefia again (o the Aufltrian Semiramis.. i HAHAX AR AMEH KA B 0 S T O .PI, /’ugu/) 3.
