“Three Dolls, per annf\ Volume V.] VIEW of AUSTRIA . Concluded . would feel the impor tant of such an opening more than any other portion of the Austrian dominions: ahd mod affiiredly this }, exteiifive and beautiful country de serves the mod favorable regards of its government. How various, bow rich, how abundant are the produ&ions of this territory. Light are the toils of its hufbandnian. So rich a foil, affifited by the genial in fluence of a mild and humid at mifphere, yields an almost sponta neous vegitation. Here vast herds of oxen with horns of enormous iize range majedically over plains bounded only by the horifon : there theufands of horses bound upon the distant hills, and fnuff the in vigorating breeze. Through lux urious fields of corn and maize are interspersed orchards of figs, of al. mandsfi of plumbs and of cheCnuts. The vine of Tokay imbibes its lus cious juice from a foil of decompo ied bafaltes; previous to their be ing expressed, the grapes are.culled and dried in the fun. The red wine of Smyrna resembles that of Montepulciano ; and for the moll part, the vineyards of Sdavonia. Croatia appear not unworthy of their Greek and Italian extra&ion. It is true that fome parts of Hunga ry presents a rougher afpeef— mountains, where rocky summits rise in terrific grandeur'above the dark and interminable ferefts, pro ducing nothing but here and there a/canty blade of oats: but much treasure is concealed within their bowels—gold pure and fine, cop per in the greates, abundance and of the bell quality, the only true o pal, and immense quantities of ftri amoniac. There is not a firtgle province tinder the dominion of Austria, that is destitute of natural riches. Even the cold and ragged Galiicia may boast of-her noble herd, her luxuriant fields of wheat and rye, but particularly of her fait mines, fituateci near Borhnia and Wielitz-* ka; they are too weli known to re goire any thing but a bare mention she opening of several mines of iton, and felling of wood, as well is the breeding of steep, may here after prove sources of wealth to this province. But the principal natu outlets of this country are un der foreign government. Hnngay r y h fmiiiarly circitmflanoed with to the Danube, as is Bohe mia to the Elbe. So that after all acquiutions and extend on of territory, Auflria is (till cramped fettered in every direction, he caufe she has no invulnerable fide. Bet any, one take a view cf the ftditary frontiers of the Au(lrian and he will be made fenfi y of the inefftcacy of her fydem ? a Sg r 'Andizement. Galiicia, with-. m prefeiK limits, has not one barrier. If the Austrian fhoutd be called out to de- this country, every thing muff ; c °nimitted to their courage, and n cafe a defeat, their only Me ■^ =:==== j^L WlsnmoTON, CGeorctj ) p ===s=:: Printed weektv for retreat would be the Carpathean mountains, Bohemia is recure a ” present from a sudden invasion. Prague is covered by the fortreffes of Lgraj of Thereflenftat, of Pleflv and of Olmutz. The Tyrol is a nother rampart for Austria.— That and Bohemia form two bastions, which the nature of things require te be connected by the famous line of the Inn, of which Austria has not yet obtained the cession. These fortifications are already ere&ed in the territory formerly belonging to Venice; but considering the parti tion of Dalmatia, and drawing a line from the mouth of the Cattaro towards Orlova and Belgrade, we may easily conceive how infinitely important it muff be to Austria to have her views aceompliihed. It is supposed that Austria main* tains in time of peace an army of 380,000 fighting men ; of which 240,000 are regular infantry, 50- 000 are cavalry, 12,000 artillerv, and 70,000 militia flationsd alomr tne frontier with other irregular troops. The Hungarian and Polish cavalry are the fined in the world. T heTyrolefe are formidable marks men, and the Austrians after a fe veji years terrible apprenticeflrip to tne arts of war* are ranked among dhe fineft fokliers of Europe.,. The diiafters of their armies are to be attributed entirely to the baleful in fluence of the Aulic military coun cil, which the wisdom of the arch duke Charles has of late confined within a narrow compass, but not entirely destroyed. Without per miflion from Vienna, their generals could not lirike a blow. The want of information among the ftibait erns has been a fubjeef of public reprehension with the great man a bove named- —a prince who has ob tained the glorious title of the re storer of the military difeiputfe of his country. The Auftrl&n marine is yet to be created* M. de Lichtenstein afi ferts that in 1802 there were 2400 national veflels in the ports of Au stria, but he mini have enumerat ed every little filhiflg boat. In the fame manner the number of veflels arriving at Triefle in one year, has been swelled to 6000 or loop'. 1 believe there are about 500 veflels above 10 tons, the property of Au strian fubje&s. ’ The eftablifliment of a marine, withottf a coast many times more extended, would oe a very difficult undertaking for Au stria as well as Prufiia, and after all of very doubtful utility. # The financial fyftein of Atsftna has undergone and is every dayun dercroing so many changes, that it would be impoftible to fay any thing of it with precision. Ins hid that the revenues of the fiate, which have been very much encreafed for the last years, amount to 193 ,000,000 florins of Vienna, Dree of the eJSpencesof collecting^ \ fom equivalent to 507,000,000 of francs, reckoning the_ florin at its current value in Austria.

From the Port F.j.io. the lat preacher. “ The lienrt of the foolifli is like a ca&t wheel.” IF this be the fa&, and the wife mart accurate in his fimiiitude what myriads of wheels roll in this our rofitwg I As it is the privilege of preach ers to paraphrase their text, and extort meanings that will ftkle ea sily into the tnuti of their own sen timents ; I (hall choole to under- Itand the word foolish, as not only intended to indicate weak, but gid dy and unstable men. This defi nition being granted, raid it is not so for fetched, as -many, which my fellow laborers, John Have! md Mathew Henry have framed, what greater affinity can be found be tween two things, apparently un-- like, than a hypochondriac writer and a cart Wheel r Such a fpgtfic author as the Lay Preacher, for in-, fiance, restless,! and whose labors arc in regular rotation, moves thro* the ruts of life, creeking and com plaining of obftru&ions in the way, and when the dayly drudgery is done, is left, by the inattention of mankind, without a fhdter, or funk into a slough. Avery ancient moralifl, who publfhed his wisdom in tbejreign of Queen Elizabeth, introduces, somewhere in his works, an aged fire complaining of the dandeffine nuptials of his daughter. As the height of his misfortune, the difi appointed parent laments that his darling should espouse a fickle- fo reigner, and as it is exp relied in the quaint fiile of that age, “ Eye her fortunes to an extravagant and a wheeling stranger. ,, A roman* tic adventurer, continually drift ing his situation, exposed to the temptations and vices of various regions, and like the dove of No ah, perpeuallv seeking and never finding a fetilement, mull he grofly deficien in that uniformk) of cha mber neccffiiry to the happiness of marriage. Be on yonr guard, therefore, ye parents* when your daughters are solicited to wedlock by those who are commonly called unsteady men, left haply you-find them wheeling. The heart of a biriband, that is like a cart wheel, will, in fome of its unaccountable and wild rotations, be turned away from its duty or affections to the wife. Advice to women must be posed moft disinterested in the Lay Preacher. The reasons are obvi ous ; he has, in a former ferraon, hinted that he Was full of years, and moreover, -from the gravity [Payable half yearly. and restraint of his piofefiion, can. not approach even the female cheek, but with the salute of a hunt, or the kiss of charity. He, therefore, entreats the daughters Os the land not to confound pru dery with virtue, not to follow, too ftritfc ohfervance, the changes of fafhion, nor be too am. bitious of the artifice of coquetry, ior all these things affimulate a vvow man to a wheel, whirling at a pro* mgious rate. There is more hope of a fool, tnan of that various creature, com* monly crdled an universal genius, Lager for novelty and a firaiigar to perlcxcrance, lie goes on from one projeef to another, from art to ait, *iom icience to Icience, lound and round like a cart wheel. In the? younger part of my life I knew a man of the above difeription ; I think lus name was Schemer. If he happened to hear a veteran col onel talk of thefeige of Louifbtrrg, he would buy military books and dream of drums arid trumpets. In the mid If of these warlike pre parations he received a fetter from his brother, a lawyer* informing “ that he had gained Iris great land cauie, at the last Superior court. 1 * Schemer fold his cartouch box and read hw for two days, jaded with the obfeurity of his study, his rel iefs mind metliing new and he listened with delight to the (ale of an East-India who painted the profits of fa&orffiip/ and brilliancy of tc Barbaric pearl and g.ofd. ,> in ffiort to recount ail his labors, would lira even the lonii wmded Jeremy fay for.

He might be found, in the morn ing, busy to invent feme fhoH cut to the temple of fdencc, at noon he would be examining the wheels of a watch, and at night making a mouse trap.
