This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  Hbrary  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 

to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 

to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 

are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  maiginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 

publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you. 

Usage  guidelines 

Google  is  proud  to  partner  with  libraries  to  digitize  public  domain  materials  and  make  them  widely  accessible.  Public  domain  books  belong  to  the

prevent  abuse  by  commercial  parties,  including  placing  technical  restrictions  on  automated  querying. 
We  also  ask  that  you:

personal,  non-commercial  purposes.

translation,  optical  character  recognition  or  other  areas  where  access  to  a  large  amount  of  text  is  helpful,  please  contact  us.  We  encourage  the 
use  of  public  domain  materials  for  these  purposes  and  may  be  able  to  help.

+  Keep  it  legal  Whatever  your  use,  remember  that  you  are  responsible  for  ensuring  that  what  you  are  doing  is  legal.  Do  not  assume  that  just 
because  we  believe  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  the  United  States,  that  the  work  is  also  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  other 
countries.  Whether  a  book  is  still  in  copyright  varies  from  country  to  country,  and  we  can't  offer  guidance  on  whether  any  specific  use  of 
any  specific  book  is  allowed.  Please  do  not  assume  that  a  book's  appearance  in  Google  Book  Search  means  it  can  be  used  in  any  manner 
anywhere  in  the  world.  Copyright  infringement  liabili^  can  be  quite  severe.

drefies.  Heaven  keep  their  heads  in 

goad  order,  I  fay. 

Prom  wearing  no  caps,  they  nre 
now  become  hooded  like  Hawks,  en- 
wrapping their  heads  and  faces  about, 
as  if  they  were  bandaged  for  fra^ur- 
ed  Ckslh.  Can  any  mctaniorpholis 
be  more  whimlical  than  thi-  ? 

Not  even  the  Tartaria-.  .^lurpr.tion 
in  China  (where  there  wa^  alfo  much 
work  about  head-diefles)  could  ex- 
ceed it. 

Tie  Frewch  Night  Cap. 
Our  line  women  have,  by  covering 
their  cheek*  with  this  faihion,  put 
their  faces  into  eclipfe.  Each  lady, 
when  drefled  in  this  mode,  can  only 
peep  under  the  iace  border.  Perhaps 
they  are  intended,  like  blinds  to  a 
horfe's  head  harnefs,  to  teach  ladies 
to  look  forward. — A  good  hint,  how- 
It  hai  been  whifpcred,  indeed,  that 
tbis  mode  is  an  introduAion  to  po- 
peiy  i  it  is  to  bring  in  the  veil  by 
and  by,  a  fort  of  a  trial,  to  fee  how 
our  Englifh  Toads  will  take  it. 

Some  ill-natured  perfons,  indeed, 
go  fo  far  as  to  fay,  that  every  woman, 
who  wca's  thefe  vifage- covers,  has 
^re  fomething  (he  (hould  be  a  little 
alhamed'of,  and  therefore  don't  care 
to  Ihow  much  of  her  face.

Mrs.  Jane  Dougj.-.fii  (of  procuring

a  little  cut  and  contrivance,  away

The  ladies  of  fa!hlon  there,  who 
fometiraes  drefs  almoll  like  ladies  of 
the  town,  immediately  took  the  hiiir. 
The  falhion  Itew  abroad  upon  'lie 
wings  of  whim;  and  as  Schioppius

Ttt  Mahy  Queen  of  Scon  Cap. 
Edged  down  the  face  with  French 
beads  j  was  very  becoming  to  fome 
complexions;  but  as  the  cap  was 
made  of  black  gauze,  and  faved 
wafhing,  it  has  too  much  good  houfe- 
wifry  in  it,  everto  be  immenfe  tafle. 

Tit  Fly  Cap. 

This  is  fixed  upon  the  forehead, 
forming  the  figure  of  an  over<grown 
butterfly,  refting  upon  its  head,  with 
outlirech'd  wings ;  'tis  much  wore  at 
prtfcnt,  not  that  it  either  adds  to  the 
colour,  or  outlines  of  the  face ;  but  aa 
thefe  caps  are  edged  with  Garnets, 
Topazes,  or  Brilliants,  they  are  very- 
fparkling,  and  a  fide-box-appearance 
is  not  now  altogether  the  confultadon 
of  elegance,  but  ornament. 

Therefore,  thofe  ladies  who  make 
the  mod  Ihow,  are  looked  upon  to 
be  the  lincll  women. 

It  is  become  a  very  interefting  dif- 
putc,  amonf»  the  ConnoifTeurs  in  ge- 
neral, whether  the  prefent  Tutbaad 
Roll,  which  is  now  wore  round  the 
Mecklcnbourg  caps,  was  taken  from 
the  j£gyptian  Fillet,  the  Perlian 
Tiara,  or  the  wreath  round  the

It  is  pity  the  Reverend  Orator  did 
not  make  ufe  of  his  charities  nearer

how  he  was  thanked  for  it ;  beftdes, 
during  thcfe  troublefome  times,  it 
may  be  attended  with  not  only  diffi- 
culty, but  danger  to  remit  fo  much 
money,  as  the  moiety  of  five  hun- 
dred and  fifty  pounds,  to  the  new 
marche. 

Not  that  any  perfons  who  has  but

opinion,  that  he  isn't  half  fo  goodan

when  Barry  was  in  London,  it  was

then  ?  Why,  when  they  come  to  be 
favonrices  of  the  town,  he  has  ^etau'd

Sir  H.  All  this  row  is  begging  the

The  Present    Sta 

HOWEVER  tremendoai  a 
Spwnifh  wir  may  fbDiid  in  the 
can  <^  many  people ,  yet  I  cannot 
concetre  any  great  horrors  at  it,  cir- 
cumftanced  a*  we  now  are.  I  am  M 
cnot^h  to  have  feen  a  Spaiulh  war 
already  ;  and  I  am  book-leimed  enough 
to  bare  read  of  feveral ;  but,  upon 
nutore  deliberation,  I  cannot  at  all 
think  that  it  it  big  with  deftrofiion  to 
this  nation. 

Spain,  compared  to  what  the  wal 
under  Philip  II.  it  now  no  more  than  a 
pigmy  to  a  giant.  Hii  revenue  was 
»ery  near  twelve  millions  fterling  a 
year;  every  ftiilling  of  wliich  went 
through  hit  own  hand*.  Our  Qyeen 
Elizabeth's  revenue  pofllbly  might,  at 
certain  yean,  arife  to  the  thirty-fifth 
[art  of  that.  He  had  the  belt  generals 
in  the  world.  Her's  were  all  home-bred 
true  Engliib,  and  yet  (be  beat  thii 
migbty  Monarch  even  into  his  kennel  j 
for,  after  the  defeat  of  hit  grand  ar- 
rnada,  he  durft  not  fo  much  as  yelp  at 
an  Englifl)  (hip  pafling  by.  In  fhort, 
the  minei  of  Mexico  and  Peru  were 
even  at  that  time  dag  for  England  ;  for 
atter  the  Spanifli  trealilre  had  circulated 
round  half  the  globe,  it  alwayi  center- 
ed here.  There  is,  however,  one  part 
of  Elizabeth')  policy,  to  which  I  thuik 
no  hlftonan  hat  yet  attended,  though 
it  is  by  far  the  moft  diftinguiOied  part 
of  her  charafler.  I  mean  the  great  art 
and  care  wilh  which  (he  always  evaded 
acknowledging  any  esclufive  right  of 
trade,  which  tlie  Spaniards  bad  to  their 
colonies  in  America, 

The  manner  in  which  the  Spaniards 
acquired  their  poi^eiTiora  there,  was  in 
Queen  Elizabeth's  time  a  recent  faft  ; 
and  ihe certainly  coiilidcred the  pollellion 
of  the  Americun  provinces  to  be  a  kind 
of  3  fcraniWe  between  the  Spaniards 
and  the  Englilh,  Firit  come,  firlt 
Uned,  was  the  word.  But  (he  was 
fir  from  thinking  that  to  be  a  law 
amonglt  Sovereigns ;  and  though  no 
Viiact  evtr  hiiti  more  rea&ia  liuii  ihe 


TE  of  POLITICS. 

had,  to  wi(h  to  be  at  peace  with  Spali^ 
yet  from  the  lirfi  to  the  lallday  of  her 
reign,  (he  certainly  never  could  be 
brought  explicitly  to  acknowledge,  that 
the  Spaniards  had  a  better  right  than 
the  Englifh  bad  to  the  provinces  of 
Peni  and  Mexico. 

Her  reofons  were  founded  in  good 
fenfe :  what  right  li:id  the  Spaniards  to 
thefe  provinces,  but  force  i  If  force 
gave  tliem  a  right  over  the  Americans, 
why  ought  it  not  to  give  the  Elngtifh  a 
right  over  the  Spaniards  i 

The  argument,  I  know,  may  be 
turned  agatnll  ourfelves.  Suppofmg, 
fays  one,  that  Spain  was  to  adopt  this 
doflrine,  and  drive  the  Englilh  out  of 
Jamaica,  Barbadoes,  Pedylvania,  or 
our  oLher  American  colonies,  how 
would  you  like  that  i  My  anfwer  is,  I 
(hould  not  like  it  at  all ;  but  I  know 
extremely  well,  that,  if  Spain  was  able 
to  do  it  to-morrow,  (he  would  not  leave 
us  1  foot  of  land  in  America.  I  know 
not  any  pofTeflion  we  have  there,  that 
we  are  better  entitled  to  tlian  the  log- 
wood trade  in  the  bay  of  Honduras. 
We  were  unqueftionably  poflelTcd  of  it, 
when  the  American  treaty  was  con- 
cluded in  the  year  1670;  and  by  the- 
claufe  of  Vti  p'.£iAtiis,  in  that  treaty, 
it  w»s  then  confirmed  to  us.  Nutwith- 
(ianding  that,  up  Harts  a  Spanifh 
Miuilter  ninety  years  afterwards,  viz, 
in  iT6r,  and  bawls  our,  you  miift  de-

The  new  Queen  brought  her  fitliei's 
MinilUi'  into  power,  who  was  afier-

of  the  Spanifti  power,  and  the  recovery 
of  lier  Italian  domijiions,  at  a  time 
u-hen  the  former  was  tliouglit  vtry 
dilBcult,  and  the  latter  appeared  totally 
inipraAicable. 

It  is  true,  that  he  did  not  abfolutely 
fucceed  in  thii  fcheme ;  but  it  is  no  lelii 
true,  that  he  came  much  nearer  it  than 
any  body  could  have  imagined  {  tor  he

and  given  fucli  a  blow  at  Melfina  to  his 
Cathdic  Majefty'i  maritime  forces,  as 
ruined  aU  his  fchemes  at  onc^ ;  and, 
which  was  ftill  more,  obliged  his  Matter 
to  part  with  bin),'  and  to  accede  to  the 
Quadruple  alliance,  which  was  let  on 
foot  to  fupply  the  defcfls  of  tlie  treaty 
of  Utrecht,  and  to  fix  the  tranquillity 
of  turope  apon  a  more  ttable  balis. 

Philip  V,  in  rcfuming  the  govern- 
ment,  upon  the  demife  of  liis  ibn,  Don 
I^wis,  began  to  meditate  new  and 
flrange  dtJigns,  or  ratiicr  fuch  were 
infuii^d  into  his  inind  by  the  Queen  and 
his  Minifters.  It  is  gtuerally  believed, 
snd  not  without  good  grounds,  that 
Cardinal  Alberoni,  who  was  tlitn  at 
Rome,  contrived  ihM  amazing  Ictne 
nhich  aJtonidied  all  Europe  ;  at  lealt  it 
ii  certain,  that  it  was  managed  and 
tranfacied  by  one  of'  his  creatures,  a 
man  born  to  make  a  figure  in  unquiet 
times,  and  who,  as  lie  dcitirted  the 
fervice  of  his  country,  no  other  Prince 
ought  to  have  relied  on. 

This  was  tlie  famous  Kipperda,  who 
negotiated  tiie  treaty  of  Vienna,  by

at  the  expence  of  his  old  friends  the 
Dutth  i  the  latter  confenled  to  the  ag-

that  branch  of  the  houfe  of  Auftvia, 
as  liimfelf  had  been  of  the  oilier  wiili

To  balance  this  Vienna  alliance, 
France,  the  M.uitime  Powers,  and 
PiulTia,  entered  into  the  famous  treaty 
of  Hanover.

it  vnt  expe^cd  would  have  determined 
■11  diAcrtnces,  and  put  a  period  to  the

But  this  was  To  far  from  anrwering  tho'e 
Isnguinc  expeAationa.  that  tlie  tuo 
next  years  were  taken  up  in  contriving 
expedients  for  carrying  wlial  w^s  llipu- 
lated  by  that  treaty  into  execution. 

For  the  Emperor'i  lecurity  it  was  be- 
fore fettled,  that  Svrili  and  not  Spanilh 
troops  fliould  be  lent  iiitolta'y.to  main- 
tain Don  Carlo*  in  the  countries  yielittd 
to  him  by  thefc  leveral  treaties.  But 
thetrealyof  Seville  altered  this  method, 
and  provided  that  Spanilh  tro  ps  Ihuuld 
be  TubllitutFjl  inHead  of  Swifs.  To 
which  the  Eni|<ei  or,  as  it  might  be  rea- 
fonably  expecteil,  vefuled  his  coiifcnt  in 
the  mull  pofitive  and  direft  terms. 

It  vns  to  get  over  tliit  difficulty  with 
him,  that  new  ncgociationi  were  iie- 
ceflary,  and  at  length  the  thing  was 
brought  about  -,  the  Infint  Don  Carlos 
was  (cnt  to  Italy  with  Spanilh  iroopj, 
and  received  iu  quality  ot  heir  appa- 
rent by  the  Grand  Duke  of  Tufcany, 
which  it  was  hoped  would  have  con- 
tributed much,  not  only  to  the  pacify- 
ing thefe  trMbles,  but  fecurinK  the 
peace  of  Europe,  tor  the  prefent  age 
at  teaft. 

But,  as  the  ablod  politicion:  are 
very  liable  to  miftake,  this  bft  ftcp 
proved  the  eai^fe  of  a  war,  notwith- 
fianding  that  the  Maritime  Powers  bad 
wijde  a  new  treaty  with  the  Emperor, 
on  purpo.'e  to  f.n-ilitate  It.  The  Infant 
Don  Carlos  arrived  ill  Italy  in  vjr.and 
being  in  polTeilion  of  nil  the  di.'niiniwns 
to  which  his  exj)e'taiive  right  had  cre-

power,  becanfe  of  hit  being  next  in  the 
iniait  of  that  monarchy ;  and  he  had 
ftronger  reafons  to  diflike  the  mealiires 
of  the  Impci-ial  Conrt,  which  in  refpeA 
to  him  were  not  altogether  fo  juft,  and 
by  no  means  fo  grateful  or  decent  ai 
they  ought  tq  have  been, 

Thelie  were  the  motives  to  a  new 
confederacy,  which,  upon  the  death  of 
the  King  ot'  Poland  in  1731,  broke  out 
into  a  war  in  Italy  j  and  in  the  -year 
■  fallowing  Don  Carlos,  or  rather  the 
Spanifli  General,  Montemar,  contjuered 
tlie  kingdom  of  Naples,  where  he 
fought  one  deciCve  battle  «  Bitonto, 
ot  which,  t«  perpetuate  the  memory  of 
his  viftory,   he  wai  made  Duke.  ' 

As  for  the  iQand  of  Sicily,  the 
liabitania,  though  not  very  remarkable 
for  their  loyalty  or  fbadinefs,  had  long 
Ihewn  an  atfie£tion  for  the  Spanilh  go- 
vernment, which  put  Don  Carlos  in 
pofleDion  of  that  country  without  a 
llroke.  The  Emperor,  thouf^hehad 
no  afliitance  from  his  Allies,  made  a 
tolerable  defence  in  Italy )  and  the  cir- 
cumftances  of  things  inclining  the  Corut 
of  France  to  a  peace,  while  it  was  in 
her  power  to  be  well  paid  for  it,  Spain 
was  (breed  to  fubmit,  and  by  this  meant 
public  quiet  wasreftored  in  1735. 

By  this  peace  Don  Carlos  remained 
King  ot  the  Two  Sicilies,  and  thereby 
erected  a  third  monarchy  in  the  Houlis 
of  Bourbon  ;  but  then  he  relinquKhed 
his  maternal  facceflion,  which  was  (ccn- 
fidering  the  different  conditions  of  the 
countries)  perhaps  a  full  equivalent  for 
it.  His  Sardinian  Majefty,  who  had 
hazarded  much,  and  whole  dominions 
had  luftered  exceflively  by  the  war, 
gained  very  little,  if  we  except  his  gain- 
ing fuch  au  experimental  knowledge  of 
the  good  faith  of  the  Houfe  of  Bour- 
bon, as  will  fcarce  allow  him  to  truli  it 
again.  Fiance,  who  pretended  to  get 
nothing,  got  all  ;  for  (he  had  Lorrain 
added  to  her  dominions,  without  any

the  complaints  that  were   continually 
made  ot  depredations  committed  in  the 
Weft-Indies,  whith  produced  at  laft  a 
war  between  the  two  nations,  extreme- 
h    ly  pi-ejudicial  to  their  mutual  iiiterelTs,

bition is  ulually  blind,   and  the  Mut 
of  acquiring,  defeats  the  power  of  dif- 
covering  the  means  of  acquifition. 

Under  the  misfortunes  of  this  war, 
and  worn  out  with  age  and  infirmities, 
Philip  V.  departed  this  life,  on  the 
19th  of  June,  1746,  in  his  grand  cli- 
mafteric,  and  in  the  46th  year  of  his 
reign.  His  fon  Ferdinand  VI,  hy  his 
fiill  ccnfort,  fuccceded  him  in  the  32d 
year  of  his  age,  having  married,  Jan, 
8,  1719,  the  inJanla  Mary  M.igdalena, 
ot"  Portugal,  near  two  years  older  than 
himldf,  by  wlinm  he  had  no  ifl'ue. 
it  was  generally  believed  upon  the  ac- 
ceflion  of  this  Monarch,  that  things 
would  have  taken  iiitwely  a  new  turn  in 
thi  Court  of  Spain,  and  his  Catholic 
Majcfty.  or  at  leaft  his  Minifters, 
took  lome  pains  to  keep  up  this  opinion, 
frcm  whence  they  reap'd  very  con- 
liderable  advantages.  The  war,  how- 
ever, was  carrieJ  on  uith  vigour,  be- 
mt/i^  at  tie  uew  King  pubUHi'd  in  bit 


Tnanifcftoet,  it  was  very  eameftly  re- 
commended to  him  by  ^i>  father  j  and 
at  tlie  lame  time  it  was  given  out,  that 
liii  Catholic  Nlajdly  looked  upon  it  im 
a  point  of  policy,  as  well  »  of  duty* 
to  procure  his  brother  an  eftabliOunent 
in  Italy  ;  fo  that  it  was  vety  qoick^ 
difcerned,  that  a  peace  was  not  to  be 
had  without  it. 

In  the  negotiations  that  were  car- 
ried on  ibr  peace,  the  Court  of  Madrid 
relied  implicitly  upon  that  of  Vertaillet. 
The  Marquis  de  Soto  Major  afled  aa 
the.  Spanilh  Plenipotentiary  at  Aix  1a 
Chapelle,  where  the  feventli  aiticle, 
regarding  the  cejiions  made  to  the  Jb- 
fant  Don  Philip,  was  indeed  the  moft 
important,  and  by  very  much  ihe  inoi: 
difpLti;d  in  the  whole  treaty  ;  and 
though  it  was  not  adjuftcd  intirely  U> 
the  iatisfaftion  of  the  iipaniUi  Court, 
which  prelTed  for  a  general  fettlement 
of  the  Duchies  of  Parma,  Placemia, 
and  Guaftalla,  upon  the  Royal  InlaU^ 
and  his  ilfue,  without  any  reftrlAion^ 
yet,  by  the  influence  and  flcadiiieTi  of 
the  French  Minilliy,  thofe  important 
ccflions  were  not  only  procured  upon  aa 
good  terms  as  could  be  reafcii:ibly  cx- 
pedei!,  confirmed  by  the  moll  authen- 
tic afts  of  the  Enipiefs- queen  and  tbc 
King  of  Sai-dinia,  but  the  execmim 
likewife  prefled  with  equal  vigilance 
and  vigour. 

As  to  the  article  which  regarded  tht 
differences  between  this  Court  and  tliaC 
of  Great  Britain,  not]>ing  was  regulated 
thereby,  except  the  right  of  the  South- 
Sea  Company  to  fmir  years  of  thB 
Afliento  treaty.  By  this  means  his 
Catholic  Ma}elly  was  extricated  out  of

Sir  John,  though  a  ftranger  to  any

Others  dont  above  half  cover  thdt

Ihallowiiefs  of  their  crowni ;  but  be-

more  erpecially  llrangerg,  who  approach-

rin-ation,  though  he  was  never  wanting 

A  war,  that  equally  endangered  his 
dominions  and  his  fafety,  made  it  rC' 
quiute  that  he  Diould  take  the  field:  his 
troops  «ere  none  of  the  beft ;  but  hit 
officers  were  men  of  fpirit  ajid  tupe- 
ricnce,  and  his  General  a  man  of  con- 
fummate  capacity.  He  found  it  ne- 
cdTary  that  Iiis  Piince  (hould  appear, 
and  put  himfelf  at  the  head  of  his 
troops :  but  confidering  his  tcm;'er,  his 
education,  and  the  manner  iii  which 
he  liied,  he  was  very  doubiTuI  how  lie 
would  behave.  In  this  he  was  vejy  a-; 
^eably  deceived.  The  Prince  hcaid 
(be  propofal  without  any  repugnance,

rocl,  who  thought  they  krtew  him  heft ; 
and  this  it  was  that  firft  raifed  him  a 
Rputation. 

At  the  return  of  Peace,  it  was  judg- 
ed  expedient  to  give  him,  what  he  llill 
wanted,  a  wife.  In  this  he  (hared  the 
Mmmon  fate  of  Princes,  who  hardly

The  French,  by  their  very  nature,

or  incroach  uiion  their  neighbours,  by

got  the  direction  of  tlie  young  aiui  vaia 
Vice-roy  of  that  province,  and  as  iboa 
as  ihey  had  done  thi';,  they  fet  him  up- 
on committing  thofe  cruelties  agaiiift 
cur  people,  which  every  one  with  horror 
has  heard  of. 

How  did  the  Dutch  behave  tipon  thefe 
occalions,  and  in  thefe  countries  ?  It  i* 
true,  they  gaie  a  civil  reception  to  liicli 
of  our  people  as  were  obliged  to  take

by  the  fea,  except  in  one  very  naxToif 
part,  fcarce  a  hundred  and  twenty  feet

demi-baftions,  a  half-tnocn,  a  curcun, 
a  wet  ditcli,  a  glacis,  and  a  covered

double  wall,  witii  llanken,  cover  the

Hair  kads  to  a  platform,  on  which  are 
mounted  fome  guns ;  and  fronting  the 
fea  is  a  parapet  lined  with  arCilleiy. 
Over  the  gate  alfo  is  another  platform^ 
for  its  fecurity  againft  an  eminence  on 
the  other  fide  of  the  harbour,  which, 
by  commanding  the  fort,  might  greatly 
annoy  it,  but  for  this  laft  convenience. 
The  town  conlilb  of  regular  ftreett, 
and  contains  one  pariOi  church,  belong- 
ing to  the  Capuchins. 

Besides  thcfe,  the  iiland  of  Martinlco

I  vat  next  engaged  in  writing  fecret

and  adventures  of  ralces  and  ladies  ot 
quality.  It  would  be  tedious  to  recotmt 
tlie  feveral  ftaaes  and  revolutions  of  my

everything  by  turns,  but  nothing  longi

the  academici,  who  you  know  were  a 
fet  r,{  philofophers,  that  maintained 
both  lides  of  a  fyliem  witli  great  fluency, 
and  hrlieved  one  as  much  as  the  otlier. 
I  had  no  opinii>ns  of  my  own,  but 
could  write  and  diipiite  foi'  any  whicji 
happened  to  be  in  vogue.  I  took  care 
to  have  by  me  a  ready  ftock  of  pane- 
gyrics upon  minifters  in  place,  and  in- 
veftive»  againft  thofe  that  went  out ; 
for  I  have  obferved,  that  all  men  in  of- 
'  fice  have  nearly  the  fame  good  quali- 
ties, and  thofe  who  a:  e  out  the  fame 
bad  ones.  I  have  wrote  fur  and  againft 
continental  coaneflioiu  within  the 
month,  and  with  great  applaufe.  I 
have  demonftrated  tlie  divine  original 
of  monarchy  in  one  pamphlet,  and  in 
the  next  aflerted  the  rights  of  the  people. 
1  have  Ihewn,  that  we  cuuld  not  be  fitry 
millions  in  debt  without  biHrg  bankrupts, 
and  upon  the  next  rife  a£  Itocks  have 
made  out  as  clearly,  that  the  danger 
of  draining  our  public  credit  was  a  mere 
£Qion.  I  have  proved  uiconteftably, 
that  the  EogtiOi  nation  was  upon  the 
brink  of  nun  in  a  wet  fpi'ing,  and  have

propofed  (with  the  aid  of  the  Legifli-

ciiitomary  quantity  of  fidi,  with  which 
t  ley  were  ufuaily  fupplied  from  thence, 
or  the  prices  enhanced,  by  the  gnat 
demand  from  the  London  market,  it  it 
thought  proper  tn  remark,  that  the  very 
reverfe,  in  all  likehhood,  will  be  the

ment  hereby  given  to  tlieinduflriouE  Fiflj- 
ermeji.  the  number  of  that  ulefu)  fet 
of  people  will  multiply,  or  they  will 
follow  their  occupation  with  increafed

that  no  cairiages  are  intended  to  be  lent

When  be  h«d  i^ached  the  foot  of  Taunts, 
be  was  Hopped  by  an  exclamation  of 
lorrow  that  proceeded  from  an  adjacent' 
wood.  The  pcrlbni  he  heard  fpcaklng 
were  two  lovers,  who  had  ttolen  a  fecret 
inierview  before  their  final  reparation. 

He  beheld  the  lover  lying  in  all  the 
agonies  of  Ibrrow  at  the  feet  of  lua 
weeping  miftrefs.  Solyman,  perceiving 
his  alliliancc  nccciTary,  rulhed  into^  the 
tliicket,  and  raifed  the  unhappy  lover 
from  the  earth.  ' 

'  Stranger,  faid  the  youth,  whoever 

*  thou  art,  thine  ajipearance  entitles 
'  thee  to  regard,   and  the   compaHion 

*  thou  haft  fhcwn  me  merits  my  confi-

'  fo  lately  lay  infenfible,  is  the  daughter 
'  of  a  mercenary  wretch,  who  hat  fold 
'  her  to  the  iChan  of  BuUiaria,  and 
'  to-morrow  flie  is  to  be  conveyed  to 
'  him  without  expoftulationorreprieve.* 

'  What,  replied  Solyman,  isitpoiS-

'  to  make  his  child  miferable  '.,  I  waa 
'  not  ignorant  of  thedepravi;y  of  man, 
'  but  I  thought  tlie  affeftions  of  nature 
'  could  not  have  been  overcome  ;  yet, 
'  if  it  is  lb,  fly,  while  the  moments  of 
'  liberty  remain, and  let  not  thofe  hearts, 
'  which  Heaven  has  formed  for  eachn-

'  of  Ardavan  has  always  been  a  refuge 

*  to  innocence  in  diftrefs ;  I  will  myfelf

Solyman  expatiated  on  the  fufleringi 
ofAbbai,  with  the  moft  tender  fenlibi- 
lityr,  and  inveighed  againft  the  bafenefi 
of  mankind  widi  all  the  i  age.  of  honeft

From  the  complicated  diftieflei  of 
one  perfon,  faid  the  merchant,- you 
draw  a  partial  image  of  the  life  of  man. 
But  the  day  decline*  ;  let  ui  hiftcn  over 
thefe  moumaiiis,  that  we  may  repofe  at 
night,  in  fome  village  of  die  valley. 
The  travelleti  took  leave  of  the  hermit, 
and  about  the  clofe  of  day,  arrived  at 
the  village  of  Arden. 

The  reception  they  met  with  here, 
reconciled  Solyman  to  bit  own  fpeciei 
again. 

When  the  dawn  of  the  morning 
broke,  Solyman  and  the  merchant,  with 
tbe  moll  grateful  acknowledgments  of 
tlie  hofpitality  with  whicli  they  liad 
been  entertained;  left  tlie  village  of 
Arden,  followed  by  the  kind  wilhet  of 
th«r  boft,  and  his  amiabie  family. 
They  travelled  for  tome  day*  through 
the  fouthem  provinces  of  Perfta,  with- 
out any  remarkable  occurrence,  or  any 
Other  entertainment  than  fuch  as  could 
be  found  in  the  diverfity  of  profpefts, 
and  the  different  laiwur*  of  men. 
Sometimes  they  amufed  tbemlelvet  with 
the  contemplation  of  thoJi:  places,  which 
hiftory  had  mariced  out  as  the  fceoF.i  of 
great  events,  and  fometimet  had  ocia- 
fion  to  refleft  on  the  pcrifhable  Honu- 
menti  of  human  magnificence. 

In  this  manner,  gratifying  tbeir  cu- 
rioCty,  and  indulging  their  fpeculationi^ 
they  proceeded  on  their  journey,  and  in 
a  Ihort  time  arrived  at  the  gul^  of 
Balfora. 

Tbe  merchant  having  here  found 
the  veflel  lie  expelled,  told  Solymaot

Solyman  long  hditated  between  friend- 
fiup  and  curiofity,  but  at  lengdi  deter- 
mined to  accept  his  ojfer. 

As  the  Ihip,  however,  was  to  remain 
f»me  time  in  the  gulf,  Solyman  took 
the  <^iportunity  to  make  tlic  tour  of    his 
India.    In  hii  way  he  vifitcd  the  ifle  of    rem

however,  he  left  Ormus,  and  proceed-

he  came  to  Dehli,  the  capital  of  the  joy  the  heauties  of  the  fummere 
Mogul's  empire,  he  contrafted  an  inti-  and  to  offer  up  a  prayer  to  the

tion,  lie  had  determined  to  lay  afide  his 
journey  to  Europe,  and  t 
Dehli,  when  the  poor  exile  at  Ormits 
came  into  his  mind.— With  a  heart  full 
of  the  moft  piercing  forroiv,  he  went  to 
take  leave  of  hi:  beloved  fiiend,  who, 
having  diicovered  the  caufe,  'Go,  liiid

which  is  a  point  of  great  confcqucnce, 
Ti.;  I  is  a  blelling  Icarce  kncwik  to  any 
ulher  CQimtry  than  this.  The  frontiers 
of  the  empire  towards  Ciiina  are  alfo 
inacccllible,  as  confuting  of  delarts  Jm- 
pencirublc  by  armies,  but  which  yield 
a  tolerable  palfage  for  caravans;  fo  that 
the  RulTians  may  alway&reckun  on  tlie 
tnendlhip  of  the  Chincfe  j  :md,  when- 
ever they  apply  themiclves  ferioufly 
thereto,  may  make  lliis  ftjendlhip  turn 
to  their  advantage.  Tl.e  Tartars,  in- 
Italiitiug  the  countries  between  RuiTia 
and  Perlia,  are  no  longer  formidable  to 
Ihe  firft  mentioned  empire ;  on  the  con- 
trary', they  all  refpett  it,  and  many  of 
them  have  willingly  fubmitted,  and  be- 
come vaffals  to  it.  The  Cafpian  feii 
and  the  dominions  which  the  Rufliani 
have  on  that  lide,  give  them  a  f^it 
opening  into  Pcrfia,  which  they  have 
already  improved,  foas  togainto  tliem- 
felves  a  very  advantageous  trade,  and 
this  by  degrees  may  be  extended  per- 
haps-as  far  as  the  Eaft-Indlcs,  with  Per- 
fia;  but,  incafeof  a  rupture,  Ihe  would 
not  have  much  10  fear,  fmce,  the  fron- 
tiers of  Perfia  being  onen,  (he  might 
foon  make  an  cud  of  the  war,  by  letting 
luofc  upon  them  Ihe  Taitars,  who  are 
her  tributaries.  The  Turks,  and  tlieir 
alTociates  the  Crim  Tartars,  are  more 
dangerous  eneroici ;  but  at  prefeut,  the 
cireunUtances  of  the  Porte  arc  fuch,  at 
will  fcarce  allow  her  to  break  with  the 
Ruflians.

but  by  a  due  and  hearty  regard  for

much  10  fear  from  the  Turks;  but.  If 
they  arc  divided,  and  the  Ottomans 
(hould  recover  their  ancient  power,  they 
may  be  formidable  to  both.  As  xa

of  a  ferai.tircle,  ftretching  almoft  few* 
the  coalt  of  Florida  on  tiie  north,  t«

duly  cultivated,  producing  great  quan- 
tities of  liigar,  cotton,  indigo,  all  fort* 
of  grain,  ddicigiis  fruits,  4c.  But 
we  muft  likew.Je  ohferve,  that  thefe 
iflands  arc  expofcd  to  violent  he.its, 
being  all  fituatiii  in  the  Torrid  Zi.ne, 
and  are  very  fubitfl  to  hurricanes  and

thefe  countries  is  grcntly  mi:igated  by

Thus  having  given  a  gencial  defcription

the  Tole  pofTelTors  of  it)  nay,  with  a 
tolenible  Rett,  not  only  fecure  their 
own  trade,  but  annoy  that  of  their 
aeighbourt. 

The  (clebrated  Chriftopher  Coluni' 
Ihi),  whodifcovEred  thiii^andin  149I1 
called  it  Fepdinandiaa,  from  Ferdinand 
V.  who  gave  him  iiis  commiflion  )  yet 
it  Toon  recovered  its  ancient  name,  viz. 
,  Coba. 

Tlie  only  winter  known  here,  is  in 
the  montbi  of  July  and  Auguft  (when 
the  fun  is  vertical  ))  which  ConliAs  in 
heavy  rains  and  ftormy  windi  ;  and,  if 
it  were  not  fo,  the  violent  heat  would 
be  very  troublcfbme  at  that  feafon. 
The  feafon  here  ia  mod  agreeable  wben 
the  Ain  it  removed  at  the  greatell  dlf- 
tance  from  tliem,  and  then  it  i) 
.  hottcft  in  the  morning  :  but,  when  the 
fun  reaches  its  meridian,  a  friendly 
^aie  fprings  up,  and  a  little  alTuages 
the  intenfeoeft  of  lut  beams. 

Thii  illand  is  as  remarkable  for  fer- 
tility a)  fur  extent,  being  the  largeQ:  of 
'  all  the  Well-Indian  ides,  and  produces 
in  the.gicateft  pcrfeflion  all  the  com- 
moditiei  known  .  in  our  American 
-  iflandi,  particularly  ginger,  long  pep- 
per, and  othei*  fpices  g  cajfia,  maftick, 
kloea,' large  ced;tn,  and  other  odori- 
ferous treei:  large  oaks,  pinet,  pabui, 
'  plenty  of  targe  vines,  fine  cotton  trees, 
with  abundance  of  excellent  tobacco. 
Their  other  fru;tt  are,  plamanei,  ba- 
nana*, ananas,  lemons.  Here  are  alfo 
large  walks  of  cocoas,  and  good  fugar 
works,  which  have  both  boi'fe  and  wa- 
'  ter-millt  f  and  they  are  faid  to  hare  the 
beft  fugari  in  all  the  Weft-Indies,  tho' 
not  in  great  qiuntities,  for  want  of 
hands  to  cultivate  the  caoes. 

Here  are  large  mioei  of  copper, 
which  furnilh  metal  for  great  guni,  &c. 
As  gold-dull  ii  found  in  the  land  of  the 
rivers,  it  ii  conjcAured  that  there  are 
mines  of  that  precious  metal  in  the 
mountains,  of  which  there  runs  a  high 
ridge  from  the  ealt  to  the  weft  end  of 
tbe  iJbnd.  '  But  the  Spaniard*  having 
^rOmyfti  all  the  natitet,  aevcr  difco. 


vered  where  thefe  mines  were ; 
they  did,  it  is  fuppoled  tliat  t 
not  chufe  to  open  them  for  feai 
invaiioii,  as  is  faid  to  be  the  vt 
at  Florida. 

Here  are  many  excellent  po 
harbours,  of  great  ule  to  fhips 
pafTrng  the  gulph  :  and  fhould  t 
niai'ds  keep  two  or  three  frig 
ways  plying  off,  and  between  t 
part  of  Cuba  and  Uifpaniob,  i' 
be  impolilble  for  many  of  our  fbi 
Jamaica  to  efcape  them. 

This  illand  has  plenty  of 
mules,  Iheep,  and  a  large  kind 
tie,  with  immenfe  quantities  i 
and  tame  toH'l.  The  black  cat 
niei'ly  brought  from  Spain  have 
plied  to  fuch  a  prodigious  degn 
great  numbers  of  them  have  run 
tl>e  woods,  and  are  hunted  anc 
purely  for  their  hides  and 
which  they  fend  to  Spain  ;  an 
flelhferves  for  fliips  provifions. 

As  to  the  trade  here,  ahund: 
tobacco,  both  in  leaf  atid  fnulF, 
ported  to  New  Spain,  and  elli 
Another  of  its  trading  commod 
Campechy  wood,  which  the  me 
Iwre  import  from  the  biy  of  tl 
name,  and  that  of  Honduras,  a 
on  board  the  flota  for  fipain,  ti 
with  hides  and  tobacco. 

Upon  the  whole,  it  is  a  d 
pleafant  illand,  and  wants  no^h 
tnduftrious  inhabitants  to  cuitiv 
foil  to  greater  perfection.  It  is 
from  good  authority,  that  tti 
oiards,  on  their  conqucft  of  thi

which   Mr.  Truller,   in    Engliiliman,

to  niBle  eloquence  ;  but  I  am  furc,  that 

female    eloquence  is    infinitely   more 

diarmlng  when  accompanied  with  mo-

I  am  rially  apprehenCve  that  the  pre- 
ftnt  oratorical  zeal  of  the  citizem,  it 
not  properly  directed,  may  do  harm, 
at  it  may  render  them  critics  without 
candour  and  without  judgment,  and 
carry  them  to  church  not  to  worftiip 
their  Maker,  and  mend  their  lives, 
but  to  receive  aniufement,  and  gratify 
1  taftc.     Let  them,  however, 


be  advifed  i

be  contented  with  fuch  plain  and  ufeful

they  do  not  eome  recommended  by  all 
the  graces  of  delivery,  and  all  the  vehe- 
mence of  aAioa. 

With  regard  to  the  young  candidates 
for  oratorical  fame,  1  would  eameftly 
beg  of  them  not  to  think  themfelves 
fufficicntly  qualified  to  appear  in  public, 
when  they  have  learnt  to  difplay  tlieir 
hands,  to  exhibit  fine  attitudet,  and  to 
makefolcmn  and  pompouipaufes.  They 
ihpuid  remember  the  prodigious  paini 
that  were  taken  by  the  ancient  pleaders 
to  acquire,  in  the  firlt  place^  a  large 
fiock  of  Ibund  knowledge  ;  and  Ihould 
attend  to  the  obferva-.ion  of  Cicero,

Another  thing  I  would  advice

I  bad  been  ufed,  for  feme  timCi  to 
ft  to  Mr.  B.  the  celcbnted  painter ; 
«ho  drew,  after  his  model,  a  X^eda, 
which  the  connoifleiin  perfcrred  even 
to  that  of  CcTTcgio.  Thii  pifhire  tie 
&ewed  one  day  to  the  Count  de  N.  the 
Neapolitaa  envoy }  who,  Itruck  with

look  on  it  without  enjoying  the  happi'

on, layshe,  Mr.  B.  is  frequently  more 
happy  than  that  of  nature  itlelf.  Not 
So,  my  hotd,  leplied  the  painter,  I 
can  afliite  you  the  eiKomiumi  you  pals 
on  the  pencil,  as  to  ihis  particular,  ai'e 
doe  entirely  to  the  model :  this  pifiure 
it  done  from  a  young  womun  who  fili 
here  every  day  for  a  crown.  Impoffible! 
cries  the  Count.  Such  a  beauty  would 
be  ai  celebrated  as  the  divine  Marehi- 
oneFs  de  ,  and   as  rich  as  the 

daughter*  of  dc  Creffus,  The  words 
were  fcarce  out  ol  his  mouth  when  I 
entered  the  room,  and  perceived  his 
ExoelleBcy  agreeably  tlruck  with  my 
appearance.  He  faid  a  great  many 
obliging  things,  to  which  I  replied  with 
a.  modeft  cmbairallinent  that  completed 
my  conqueft.  Indeed  there  was  no  oc- 
niion  fer  much  experience  to  perceive 
the  great  Jmpreflion  I  had  made  on  him ; 
•Utd  from  which  I  conceived,  from  that 
moment,  the  nioft  flattering  profpefts 
of  my  tiiture  fortune.  Nor  were  there 
long  merely  ideal,  in  going  out  of  the 
kaufe  of  Mr.  B.  I  was  addrciTed  by  a 
fervant  of  the  envoy,  whopreuaiied  on 
me  to  follow  him  to  hit  matter.  His 
propofal,  J  mult  own,  fuited  too  well

Count  loaded  me  prerently  with  lich 
cloaths  and  jewels  of  all  kinds.  Is 
fhort,  from  a  tixth  floor  in  the  jhburb* 
of  St.  Marccau,  I  wai  defcended  into  x 
gilt  chariot  highly  vamiibed  by  Martin, 
and   was   transtbrmed  into   a  lady  of 

Neither  did  I  feel  myfelf  long  auk- 
ward  in  my  new  fituation  i  (otM  ac- 
quiring that  inn  tent  and  air  ofeaJe, 
which  are  generally  fuppofed  to  be  the 
effca  only  of  a  reliiied  education.  I 
appeared  at  the  fpefiaclci,  and  in  all 
public  places ;  where  1  had  no  fooner 
fliewed  myfelf  than  I  became  the  falhi- 
onable  toall. 

As  !  was  one  day  coming  out  of  the 
palais  reyal,  and  was  looking  about  in 
vain  for  my  chariot,  the  Chevalier  de 
Lunac,  whom  I  had  feen  on  a  vifit  to 
a  lady  of  my  acquaintance,  very  politely 
olFtred  me  his :  I  accepted  it,  and  be 
coiuluaed  me  home,  where,  in  return 
tor  his  civility,  I  invited  liim  to  ftay 
fupper.  The  envoy  was  abfent  at  Ver- 
failles.  I  faw,  atthe^firli  glance,  the 
Chevalier  was  amoroufiy  difpofed  ;  and 
neglected  nothing  to  iufiame  hitpaJTion. 
He  was  juR  returnLd  from  making  his 
naval  campaign  as  Knight  of  Malta  % 
was  very  young,  had  a  remarkable  at- 
tachment toladies  of  my  qtulity,  and  war 
jnft  come  to  the  potrcflion  of  a  fine  for- 
tune. For  thefc  reafoiis  I  determined 
to  leave  nothing  undone  to  plealc  him. 
Bcfides  this,  his  KKccllency,  the  Count, 
t>egan  to  grow  troublefome,  and  the 
impertinence  of  love  is  of  all  others  the 
motl  difagreeable.  I  lelblvcd  thcreliire 
to  get  rid  of  him ;  not  that  I  thought 
it  prudent  to  break  with  lum,  till  I  was 
well  aJTured  of  the  fentimenis  of  the 
chevalier.  Of  Ihefe  I  was  i<itin  fatisGed,

A  -vltvi  »f  tht  preftM  War,  btgiKxing

thtpajfap  thrmgh  Saxony. 

SINCE  the  King  of  Pniflia  clearly 
fbreliiw  a  war  was  inevitabie,  and 
that  a  paflage  tlirough  Saxony  was  ab- 
solutely necdiary  for  \m  array,  he  or- 
dered M.  de  Malzdhn,  his  minifter  at 
the  court  of  Dieiileii,  to  demand  it. 
On  the  19th  of  Anguli  he  accordingly 
had  a  private  audience  of  die  King  of 
Poland,  and  made  tiie  following  verbal 
declaration  10  hit  Majelty,  on  the  part 
of  the  King  liis  MaJtcr. 

'  Hi»  Majefty  the  King  of  Piuffia 
ficds  hiailelt  obliged,  by  the  behaviour 
ot  the  Enipcefs-queen,  to  attack  her, 
and  to  march  through  tlie  territories  of 
Saxony  into  Bohemia  :  he  accordingly 
demands  a  pafiagc  through  the  eleft,  ral 
dominion;  of  his  Polilh  Maicfty,  de- 
claring, that  his  troops  fhall  obferve  the 
liriflcft  difcipline,  and.  take  all  the  care 
of  the  country  that  the  circuinttances 
will  permit.  His  Poiilli  Majelly  and 
his  royal  family  may  at  the  fame  time 
depend  upon  being  in  pcrfedt  fafety, 
and  of  having  the  grealirft  refpeft  paid 
them,  on  the  part  of  his  Pruffiin  Ma- 
jelly.  As  to  the  reft,  after  reflefting 
U)H,n  the  events  of  the  year  1 744,  there 
ii  no  realbn  tn  he  furprized,  that  the 
King  of  Prufiia  fliould  Kike  fuel)  mea- 
fure.i,'  as  may  prevent  a  return  of  what 
then  happened.  Moreover,  lie  dclires 
nothing  lb  much  as  a  fpeedy  re-efta- 
blifhmcnt  of  peace,  to  give  him  the 
opportunity  of  reftoring  the  King  of 
fotand  to  the  iMlftllion  of  his  domini- 
ons, againft  which  iie  has  not  formed 
any  dangerous  dedgns."

which  this  dccl.-iration  put  him  into, 
anfwered  M.  de  M.lr.ahn,  '  that  bf 
fliould  not  have  cxpecled  a  requifition 
in  the  form  then  made  to  liim;  tlut 
being  at  peace  uiitli  the  world,  and  unr 
der  no  engag.-meat  with  any  of  the 
powers  achially  at  war,  he  could  not 
conceive  tjte  end  of  making  fuch  a  de- 
ciaralioni  but  that  he  fliould  give  an- 
fwer  upon  this  fub)e.?t  in  writing,  and 
hoped  his  PrulTun  M:i;efty,  contenting 
himlelf  witli  a  quick  pa(Etge,  would 
neither  forget  the  refpefl  due  to  a  fove- 
reign,  nor  that  which  all  ihe  member* 
of  the  Oei-iaauic  body  i-eciprocally  owe 
each  other."

find  the  King  of  Poland's  fentimcnts

the  neutrality  which  his  Polifh  Majefty 
feemcil  deliious  to  obrei-ve,  was  exa^ly 
what  he  rc<^uired  of  him  ;  but  in  order 
to  render  this  neutrality  more  fecure, 
it  would  be  pi'Oper  for  tiis  Polilh  Ma- 
jefty i;o  leparate  his  army,  and  fend  the 
troops  he  had  aJiembled  at  Pima  back

The  Spaniards  by  degrees  conquered 
tlie  natives,  and  at  laft  wholly  extir- 
pated them,  leaving  neither  men, 
women,  norcliilili-en.  While  the  na- 
tives enjoyed  their  polTelTioni,  they  cul- 
tivated their  lands  for  the  Spaniards, 
and  fupplled  them  with  filh,  and  Ibme 
quantities  of  gold  :  during  which  time 
the  Spaniards  lived  much  more  happy, 
«nd  in  greater  affluence,  than  tbey 
)iave  done  ever  lince  ;  wliereai  now  the 
far  greater  part  of  what  the  Spaniardi 
claim,  ra'her  than  poflefs,  is  dcfert, 
and  yields  them  little  or  nothing,  for 
want  of  hands  to  improve  the  luxuriant 
Ibil.  As  this  iltand  was  the  firlt  of  the 
SpaniQi  diicoverie^  in  the  new  world, 
{o  it  was  for  a  confiderible  time  the 
centure  of  their  trade  in  tliefe  parts ; 
and  as  they  had  been  for  many  years 
(o\e  polleiToisof  it,  was  for  fome  part 
of  that  time  a  very  flourilhing  colony. 
But  after  tlieir  conqucft  of  Peru,  Chili, 
and  the  great  additions  they  made  to 
their  teiTitories  on  the  continent  both 
of  North  and  South  America,  thty 
ilighted  this  ifland,  which  encouraged 
the  Freneh,  about  the  middle  of  the 
Ji&  century,  to  fix  themfelves  on  the 
Weft  part  of  it,  where  they  have  ini' 
proved  their  fettlements  to  great  per- 
feftion,  and  are  become  very  numerous 
and  flrong.  The  French  here  are  faid 
to  equal,  if  not  out-number  the  Spa^ 
ntards ;  though  both  togedier  fall  very 
Ihoit  of  what  the  extent  and  fertility 
ol'  the  iiland  is  capable  to  maintain. 

The  French,  in  the  year  1694,  under 
M.  du  CafTe,  then  governor  of  HiTpa- 
Iiiola,  made  a  defcenC  upon  Jamaica, 
and  plundered  feweral  plantations,  be-

part  of  the  illand  having  fulfered  fo 
much,  both  by  the  defcentt  of  tbe  £n< 
glilh  and  French,  obliged  the  Spaniard! 
to  grant  to  the  latter  all  that  part  of  it, 
to  the  Well  of  Monte  Chrilto  on  the 
North,  and  CapeMongononiheSoutKi 
and  as  they  made  this  concefliou  rather 
from  conAnunt  than  pleafure,  and 
though  the  Spaniards  were  glad  to  live 
upon  good  terms  with  them,  yet  they 
always  coniidered  them  as  iifurper*  of' 
a  coimtry  to  which  they  had  no  fort  of 
right  i  vhich  continued  to  be  the  caft 
till  the  year  1697,  when  the  Spaniard*  , 
yielded  that  part  of  the  illand  to  them, 
at  the  treaty  of  Ryfwick,  and  the  boun-

1A  M  told  it  happent  very  frequent* 
ly,  th-t  the  maft  eminent  council 
begin  to  plcdd  the  caufei  of  their  dientt 
almolt  without  having  read  their  brief), 
certainly  without  underltanding  them. 
Suppoling  thii  to  be  true,  I  will  venture 
to  fay,  and  every  reafonable  man  will 
join  with  me  jn  faying,  that  fuch  be- 
haviour is  in  the  higheft  degree  culpa- 
ble, and  that  no  ftation  in  life  can  pra- 
ted that  perfon  from  dilhonoor,  who 
i)  guilty  of  fuch  practice.  Suppofe  a 
dient  fliould,  in  confequence  of  fuch 
behaviour  on  the  part  of  hit  council, 
ftiffer  in  hii  fortune,  ought  not  fuch 
council,  in  honour  and  confcience,  to 
repay  whatever  his  client  lofts  f  A  poor 
farrier,  whoundeitakes  tolboeaahorfer 
muft  make  good  any  damage  be  doe*  b/- 
Ihoeing  him  carcleflly  or  nnfkilfully : 
It  fometime*  happens,  that  a  dient  fuf- 
fen  alfo  for  Tome  time  in  his  cbaiafter 
by  the  r:mie  means  ;  the  judge  think* 
the  party  hai  afted  wrong,  and  blamet 
him,  becaule  the  council  do  not  Ibew 
that  he  has  a£)ed  right.  It  it  indeed  lucky 
for  the  client,  at  to  hi*  reputation,  that 
no  roan  of  leofe  or  candour  will  lay  any 
ftref*  upon  what  may  be  faid  on  that 
head  by  council,  farther  than  fuchaller- 
tioni  are  made  out  by  fa£li ;  and  com- 
mon fenfe  and  experience  declare  loudly, 
that  there  is  hardly  a  man  who  com- 
mence* a  law-fuit  till  he  has  had  the 
opinion  ofone  or  more  eminent  council 
in  fail  &vour  i  and  if  he  takes  care  to 
have  the  fad*,  npon  which  his  caufe  de-

or  whether  the  book-  of  deftiny  declared

to  an;  of  thefe  nafoni,  or  to  all  of

pretend  to  determine ;  but  the  pi'uden- 
tial  fcale  kicked  ufi  the  beam,  and 
down  with  much  force  went  Enjoy-

From  the  incident  of  that  night,  fair 
Hjebs  made  Venvs  a  Grandmother, 
Her  child  wa»  named  Wit,  according

neither  MAiisor  Vulcam  cou'd  endure 
the  fight  of  him,  which  forced  her  to

As  concerning  William  Durent,  be- 
ing an  inlant,  his  mother  Dorothy  Du-

March,  1663,  Ihe  having  a  ip^ial  oc- 
calion  to  go  trom  home,  >nd  h^Ting 
none  in  her  houfe  to  take  care  of  her 
fwd  child  (it  then  fucking)  defired  Amy 
Duny,  her  neighbour,  to  look  to  her  child 
during  her  ablence,  for  which  (he  pro- 
miled  to  give  her  a  penny :  but  the  fajd 
Dorothy  Durent  deOred  the  faid  Amy  " 
rot  to  fuekle  her  child,  and  laid  a  great 
charge  upon  her  not  to  do  it.  Upon 
ivhich  it  was  alked  by  the  court,  why 
Ihe  did  give  that  direftion,  flie  being  an 
old  woman,  and  not  capable  of  ^ving 
fuck  f  It  was  anfwered  by  the  faid  Do- 
rothy Durent,  that  the  very  well  knew 
that  Ihe  did  not  give  fuck,  but  that  fof 
fi)me  yean  before,  fhe  had  gone  under 
the  Reputation  of  a  Witch,  which  was 
one  caufe  made  her  give  her  the  caution. 
Nevertheless  after  the  departure  of  thi» 
deponent,  the  faid  Amy  did  fuekle  the 
child :  aAd  after  the  return  of  the  faid 
Dorothy,  the  faid  Amy  did  acquaint 
her.  That  jbt  had gi'mn  fuck  tt  the  child 
contrary  to  her  command.  Whereupon 
the  deponent  was  very  angry  with  the 
faid  Amy  for  Uie  fame  ;  at  which  the 
laid  Amy  was  much  difcontented,  and 
ufed  many  high  exprelTions  and  threai- 
ning  fpeechcs  towaids  her ;  telling  her. 
That  Jte  had  ai  geedlo  have  dene  c /her-'

that  very  night  her  fon  fell  into  ftrange 
fits  of  fwounding,  and  was  held  in  fuch 
terrible  manner,  that  (he  was  much  af- 
frighted [herewith,  and  fo  continued 
for  divers  weeks.  And  the  faid  ex- 
aminant  farther  faid,  that  (he  being  cx< 
ceedingly  troubled  at  herchild'sdiitem-

and  at  night  wlien  ihe  put  the  child  to 
bed,  to  put  it  into  the  faid  blanket, 
and  if  (he  found  nny  thing  in  it,  (he 
(hould  not  be  afraid,  but  to  throw  it 
•  into  the  fire.  And  this  deponent  did 
according  tothis  direftion ;  and  at  night 
when  fhe  took  down  the  blanket^with 
an  intent  to  put  her  child  therein,  there 
fell  ont  of  the  fame  a  great  toad,  which 
ran  up  sjid  down  the  hearth,  and  (he 
having  a  young  man  only  with  her  in 
the  houfe,  delired  him  to  catt^  the 
toad,  and  throw  it  into  the  (ire;  which 
the  youth  did  accordingly,  and  held  it 
there  with  the  tongs ;  and  as  Toon  at  it 
wai  in  the  fire  it  made  a  great  and 
horrible  noife,  and  after  a  fpace  there 
was  a  fla(hing  in  the  fire  like  Gun-pow- 
der, making  a  noife  like  the  difcharge 
ofapiltol,  and  thereupon  the  toad  wac 
no  more  feen  nor  heard.  It  wat  afked 
by  the  court,  if  that  after  the  noife  and 
■fla(hing,  there  was  not  the  fubftancc  of 
the  toad  to  be  feen  to  confume  in  the 
fire  ?  And  it  na»  anfwered  by  the  faid 
Dorothy  Durent,  that  after  the  ilalhing 
and  noife,  there  was  no  more  feen  than 
if  there  had  been  none  there.  The 
next  day  there  came  a  young  woman, 
a  kinfwoman  of  tlie  faid  Amy,  and  a 
neighbour  of  this  deponent,  and  told 
this  deiMnent,  that  her  aunt  (meaning 
the  faid  Amy)  was  in  a  moll  lamenta- 
ble condition,  having  her  face  all  fcorch- 
ed  with  fire,  and  that  flie  was  fitting 
alone  in  her  houfe,  in  her  fmock  with- 
out any  fire.  And  thereupon  this  de- 
ponent went  into  the  houfe  of  the  faid 
Amy  Duny  to  fee  her,  and  found  her 
in  the  fame  condition  as  was  related  to 
her ;  for  her  face,  her  legs,  and  Thighs, 
whitli  this  deponent  faw,  fecmed  very 
much  (torched  and  buint  with  fire,  at 
wliieh  this  deponi'nt  feemed  much  to 
wonder.  And  a(kod  the  faid  Amy  how 
(he  came  into  that  fad  comlition  ?  and 
the  faid  Amy  replied,  (he  might  thank 
her  for  it,  (or  that  fhe  this  deponent 
w.-is  the  caufe  thereof,  but  that  (ha

wa>  warm  in  the  throne.  The  afliftanre 
he  gave  the  allies  brought  the  Spanilh 
Monarchy  twice  to  the  brink  of  ruin  ; 
and  though  moft  of  our  accounts  fay, 
that  the  Porluguefe  foldiers  behaved 
'  but  inditFerently  in  that  war,  yet  this 
ought  not  to  be  underftood  as  a  national

great  wealth,  and  much  luxury,  are 
'capable  of  corrupting  any  people. 

While  the  war  continued,  the  com- 
.  merce  of  the  Brazils  began  to  grow 
much  more  conCderable  than  in  former 
times,  by  the  working  of  the  gold 
mines;  and,  as  there  was  at  that  time 
ft  great  intercourfe  between  the  two  na-

Aare  of  that  gold  for  the  commodities 
and  mancfaAorics  with  which  they  fur- 
nifhed  the  Portuguefe.  King  John 
could  not  help  feting  this  with  concern ; 
be  thought  it  hard  they  Ihould  have  but 
a  fi^t  of  the  vaft  wealth  derived  from 
their  own  fettlements,  and  that  it  fliould 
immediately  vanilh,  as  it  were,  out  of 
Portugal  into  another  country.  His 
■  Minifters  were  exaflly  of  their  Mafttr't 
opinion,  and  many  conl'uttalions  were 
held  about  finding  a  fpeedy  and  elfeihi- 
b1  remedy  for  what  they  conlidercd  as 
the  greatell  grievance.  At  length  it

He  was  a  great  favourite  with  his 
Portuguefe  Majefty,  and  dleemed  to 
be,  as  he  ceitainly  was,  a  very  honeft 
man.  To  him  theretbre,  as  to  a  friend, 
and  under  the  ftrifleft  injunftion  of 
fecrecy,  the  King  communicated  tbii 
affair,  and  afked  his  advice  about  h. 
His  Lordlhip  told  him  furly,  that  the 
remedy  would  beworfe  thanthedifeafcf 
that  the  fame  providence  which  liad 
given  his  fubjefls  gold,  bad  beftowed 
commodities  and  manufaftarcs  upon  the 
EnglUhj  that  the  exchange  therefore 
was  not  To  injurious  as  he  imagined  ; 
and  that,  by  prohibiting  commerce, 
he  might  force  thofe  that  were  now  his 
bell  friends  to  become  his  enemies,  and 
to  employ  their  naval  power,  whidi  be 
knew  to  be  fo  much  fuperior  to  bis  own, 
in  taking  that  by  force  for  which  they 
gave  a  proper  equivalent. 

He  fiuther  reprefeiued  that,  what- 
ever turn  the  war  might  take,  Portugal 
mult  always  Hand  inneedof  thefricnd- 
fhip  of  England,  to  prevent  becoming 
dependent  on  the  Houfe  of  Aulbia  or 
the  Houfe  of  Bourbon;  and  therefore  it 
was  much  bettci-  that  his  fubjedi  fliould

PrufTm,  aliaiit  a  mile  ftom  Dantiic. 

The  lepiil.lic  had  Hill  two  enemies,  the 
Mulct-vitci  andlhtColliiCj,  t.ideal  with. 
It  was  of  the  imnollimportance  to  hinder 
their  iunflion,  and  there  wanted  a  man 
of  ability  to  execute  the  commillion.  So- 
biciki  was  detached  with  a  body  much 
inferior  to  that  of  the  Coflacs,  and  at- 
tacked them  at  the  moment  of  their  ar-  , 
rival  in  the  Ukraine.  Hi?  viflory  vyat 
fo  complete,  that  their  general  was  !a-  ' 
ken  piiluner,  loaded  wiih  chaln-^  as  a 
iibe!,  and  brought  to  Calimir.  There- 
port  of  this  victory  fo  intimidated  liie 
Mufcovitci,  that  they  fuirendtred  iheir 
arms  almoft  without  fighting. 

Nothing  now  remained  but  to  retaka 
a  few  places  in  Lithuania,  one  of  which 
w  as  Wili-.a  the  capital,  a  large  and  po- 
pulous city,  bat  built  «ith  wood  for 
want  of  quarries  of  ftone.  The  Mufco- 
vite  officer  who  commanded  in  the  cita- 
del, would  have  put  to  death  any  man 
that  had  only  talked  of  furrendering. 
He  entertained  /"ufpicions  of  a  Poli/h 
piieit,  and  put  him  into  a  mortar,  and 
difih.ijged  this  frightful  homa  upon  ibe 
bclicgers.  His  cruelty  and  obiliiiacy, 
joined  to  the  impolTibility  of  making  a 
long  detence,  excited  fome  foreign  of- 
ficers of  the  garrilbn  to  mutiny  againft 
their  cor,imander,  whom  they  gave  up, 
together  with  the  city,  into  the  handi 
of  the  beliegeri.  The  Poles,  having

demned him  to  di&by  the   hands  of  »

I  met  Mr.  Stopcock  at  the  Hague ;  you 
know  he  was  once  our  exciieman  at

met  Will.  Ruiinit,  who  left  our  parilh  1 
great  while  ago,  and  wa»  a  trooper. 
He  now  fells  walh-balts  at  Amilerdam, 
and  be  and  I  cracked  a  bottle  too.  I 
keeps  none  but  the  bell  of  company,

I  never  fiw  fo  many  river*  in  atiy

in  tlie  May  moi-tli,  and  our  John  fayi

Come,  Lucy,  it  cries,  come  away. 
The  gnve  of  thy  Collin  has  room 

To  reft  thee  belide  liis  cold  clay,

To  die  on  his  hoTojn  To  true. 
All  mouiTiful  the  midnight  bell  rung, 

When  Lucy,  fid  Lucy,  ;irofe  j 
And  forth  to  the  green  turf  Ihe  fprung. 

Where  Ctillin's  pale  aihes  repoi'e. 
All  wet  wiih  the  night's  thiUiug  dew, 

Her  bofom  embrac'd  the  cold  ground. 
While  ftormy  winds  over  htr  blei 


Inflam'd  all  at  once  grew  the  ai  , 
And    thunder  fhouk   dreadful  tiie 
ground,-  ..  , 

I  hear  the  kind  call,  and  obey, 
Oh,  Collin  receive  me,  (he  cried. 

Then  breathing  a  groan  o'er  hii  clay. 
She  hung  on  his  tomb  itone  and  died.
