interest now. Little to the comfort of the Sea-Powers.
But Hungarian Majesty is decided to cut in upon the French and
Spaniards, in that fine Country,--who had been triumphing too much
of late; Maillebois and Senor de Gages doing their mutual exploits
(though given to quarrel); Don Philip wintering in Milan even
(1745-1746); and the King of Sardinia getting into French
courses again.

Strong cuts her Hungarian Majesty does inflict, on the Italian
side; tumbles Infant Philip out of Milan and his Carnival gayeties,
in plenty of hurry; besieges Genoa, Marquis Botta d'Adorno (our old
acquaintance Botta) her siege-captain, a native of this region;
brings back the wavering Sardinian Majesty; captures Genoa, and
much else. Captures Genoa, we say,--had not Botta been too rigorous
on his countrymen, and provoked a revolt again, Revolt of Genoa,
which proved difficult to settle. In fine, Hungarian Majesty has,
in the course of this year 1746, with aid of the reconfirmed
Sardinian Majesty, satisfactorily beaten the French and Spaniards.
Has--after two murderous Battles gained over the Maillebois-Gages
people--driven both French and Spaniards into corners, Maillebois
altogether home again across the Var;--nay has descended in actual
Invasion upon France itself. And, before New-year's day, 1747,
General Browne is busy besieging Antibes, aided by English Seventy-
fours; so that "sixty French Battalions" have to hurry home, from
winter-quarters, towards those Provencal Countries; and Marechal de
Belleisle, who commands there, has his hands full. Triumphant
enough her Hungarian Majesty, in Italy; while in the Netherlands,
the poor Sea-Powers have met with no encouragement from the Fates
or her. ["Battle of Piacenza" (Prince Lichtenstein, with whom is
