272 Die englische Intervention z. Gunsten d. böhmischen Juden i. J. 1744. as above mentioned, together with the representations sent hither to them from those in Bohemia, and I am to add to wha.t is above, that, as His Majest3ז does extremely commiserate the terrible circumstances of distress to which so rnany poor and innocent families must be reduced, it this edict takes place, He is rnost earnestly desirous of procuring the repeal of it by His Eoyal intercession, in such manner that the guilty only may be brought to punishment, for obfcaining of which. you are to exert yourself with all possible zeal and diligence. I am & cet. Harrington. Y. Aus einem Briefe Eobinsons. P. S. Iam making my joint applications with M. Burmanin in favour of the Jews. Th. Eobinson. VI. Eobinson an Harrington. Vienna, Feb. 20. 1745. Dear Sir After having in concert with Mr. Burmania spaken to the several ministers upon the affair of the Jews and received such answers as rather shewed the delicacy of the point, after the resolution which had been taken by the Queen and the manner in which the edict was actually putting into exeeution at Prague in particular, than served to letusknow, wliat effects to expect from the intercession of our masters, I took the opportunity of our being together with Count Ulfeld yesterday upon other affairs to ask him what ans wer he was pleased we shoulci return upon this subject. He said he had 110 further Orders at present from the Queen than to teil •us that it would be difflcult for Her Majesty to revoke her edict, but that as to the time, whether a week, a mojnth or more months, for the more or less exeeution of it, it was not absolutely flxed. From which and from other circumstances we are apt to flatter ourselves, that time itselfwill be some sort of a remedy, whatever better effects reflection and voluntary considerations may produce with respect to the wliole. I have & ect. Th. Eobinson.
