Thefe people were cruel, profligate, and atrocious; their daring and infamous crimes had led them to an eminence among their fellows; they vowed eternal enmity to ef tablished governments, and to the friends of religion and established and natural order.. They were supported by the French, and lived in ridicule and difdain of all marriage and family ties. The flaves of fenfe, appetite was what they readily obeyed; a want of humanity was their diftinguishing characteristic. When fir Henry and his friends reached Vienna, the English commander would force them to his lodgings; and, in the course of the evening, was fo elevated at his late exploit, or as he properly called it, coup-de-main, that, with a view of paying deferved honour to it, he made them as drunk, he faid, "as he ever loved to fee his meffimates."
