This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  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 
public  and  we  are  merely  their  custodians.  Nevertheless,  this  work  is  expensive,  so  in  order  to  keep  providing  tliis  resource,  we  liave  taken  steps  to 
prevent  abuse  by  commercial  parties,  including  placing  technical  restrictions  on  automated  querying. 
We  also  ask  that  you: 

+  Make  non-commercial  use  of  the  files  We  designed  Google  Book  Search  for  use  by  individuals,  and  we  request  that  you  use  these  files  for 
personal,  non-commercial  purposes. 

+  Refrain  fivm  automated  querying  Do  not  send  automated  queries  of  any  sort  to  Google's  system:  If  you  are  conducting  research  on  machine 
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. 

+  Maintain  attributionTht  GoogXt  "watermark"  you  see  on  each  file  is  essential  for  in  forming  people  about  this  project  and  helping  them  find 
additional  materials  through  Google  Book  Search.  Please  do  not  remove  it. 

+  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.

to  fet  and  adjufl  a  very  good  Regulator  that  a  very  ingenious  Watch  and  Clock- maker 
keeps,  and  a  good  Eight-day  Clock  of  IVTr.  y.  P.  H*i,  which  }  alfo  compared  half  an 
Hour  before  the  Edipfe  began,  and  found  them  to  a  Second  together  to  the  Time,  and  I, 
and  Mr.y.  P,  fj,  and  the  Watch-maker,  all  a^ree^l  to  a  Second,  that  the  Beginning,  at 
Newport,  was  predfely  at  31'  pad  7,  (it  cert^iinly  is  difficult  to  dettrmine  the  Beginnint; 
or  End  of  a  lunar  EcUpfe  to  a  Second  or  two]  it  waft  extreamly  clear  during  the  Edipfe, 
and  the  End  was  obferved  between  9h  58'  i»  and  9h  59'  certainly,  to  that  the  Duration 
did  not  exceed  ah  17'  at  mod.  while  your  Correfpondenr,  Mr.  R,  fViiddington,  makes  it 
ah  39',  too  much  by  two  Minutes  or  two  and  a  Qunter,  and  he  mud  certainty  be  out  of 
the  Time  at  Beginning,  orelfe  our  Maps  are  extreamly  bad  ;  as  for  bis  faying  hlr,M(yer*$ 
(as  he  calls  him}  Tables  erring  4'  30''  at  Middle,  I  make  them  err  but  1'. 

The  other  Obfervation,  by  Mr,  Mafiings,  is  certainly  wrong,  both  Beginning  and  End, 
as  may  eaftly  be  feen  by  comparing  it  with  otlier  Obfcrvations }  he  making  the  Duration 
but  ah  19'  50". 

I  hope  the  above  Gentlemen. will  not  take  this  am'fs,  as  it  is  Truth  we  ought  to  get 
M  near  as  we. can,  and  if  any  Midake  or  Ovei fight  Hiould  prove  in  my  Works«  I  hope 
that  they,  or  any  other  of  your  Correfpondents,  will  bcfo  kind  as  ro  inform  me  of  it,  by 
the  (ame  Means,  i  am,  Sir,  Tours ^  (sfc,

With  groans  of  death)  and  founds  of  war  f

The  tuneful  mourner  finks  diihefs^d. 

Or  breathes  but  notes  of  woe : 
And  cannot  Ga//ia  learn  to  melt.

Her  floating  bulwarks  hovering  round,

What  dread  through  all  her  v.  at*t;y  bound  ? 
Great  queen  of  ocean,  (he  defies 
All,'  but  the  power  who  nilcs  the  Ik'.cs, 

And  bids  the  ftorms  engage  : 
Infierior  foes  are  dafh'd,  ajid  loft. 
As  breaks  the  white  wave  on  her  co.iH, 

Confum'd  in  idle  rage. 
For  alien  forrows  heaves  her  grn'rcns  breall. 

She  proffers  peace  to  eafe  a  nvaPi  pain, 
Her  crowded  ports,  her  fields  in  picnry  dttR, 

Blefs  the  glad  merLh<:ut,  and  it/  inviuil:;ous

per to  prolong  provifionally  the  faid  Charter 
for  one  Year. 

By  the  laft  Letters  from  Prince  Ferdinand's 
head  Quarters  at  Uflar,  of  the  29ih  paft,  we 
have  an  Account  of  an  AtTair  that  paflTcd  on 
the  23d  at  HeihgtnfUdc,  where  Gen.  Luck- 
ner,  who  was  polled  there  with  a  Corps  of 
between  3  and  40CO  Men,  was  attacked  hy 
a  Body  of  10,000  trench  under  the  Cum- 
luand  of  CuuiiC  Bro^liu,    The  Tovvm  b^  iii  j 


neatly  invefted  on  all  Sides,  Gen.  Ludkner 
had  no  other  Method  of  Retteat  but  by  the 
Road  that  leads  to  Witzenhaufen,  where 
he  gained  an  advanra^reous  Eminence,  from 
whence  he  cannonaded  the  French  with  fuch 
Succtft,  th^t  he  fecured  his  Retreat  to 
Scharffcnilein  without  the  Lofs  of  a  fingle 
Man  or  Horfe  killed  or  taken,  only  a  few 
wounded  in  the  Affair.  But  an  Officer^ 
with  34  militia  Men,  who  where  left  in  the 
Town,  were  taken.  The  Lofsof  the  French 
upon  this  Occalion  is  reckoned  at  above  300 
Men.  On  the  14th,  Gen.  Luckner  w.m 
detached  to  Heiligendadi,  and  findmg  the 
French  had  left  it,  retook  Poflcffion  of  it. 
The  other  Quarters  of  Cantonments  of  the 
allied  Army  have  been  unmolclUd.  The 
Marquis  of  Granby  was  in  his  Quarters  at 
Corvey  on  the  Wefer,  on  the  3cth  part.

TH  E  following  are  the  910ft  authentic 
and  material  Advices  now  received 
from  the  Cherokee  Country. 

—  "  It  was  Round  O's  Brother  who  feiz- 
ed  and  carried  ofT  Captain  Stuart  from  the 
Field  uf  Blood,  where  fo  many  of  our  Coun- 
trymen and  Friende  were  treacheroufly 
butchered  by  the  perfidious  Savages,  and 
who  delivered  him  to  Attakulla  Kulla  then 
at  Fort  Loudoun. 

**  Ju(ld*.s  Friend  exerted  himfelf  much 
that  Diy  in  our  Favour,  and  prevented  the 
'MafTacre  from  being  almofl  general  \  he 
went  round  the  Field  ordering  and  calling 
to  the  Indians  to  defiil,  and  by  the  Repre- 
lentations  he  made  to  them,  Aopt  the  furl  her 
Progrefs  and  EfTe^s  of  their  baibarous  and 
brutal  Race.  He  declares  it  as  his  Oi/mion 
and  Refolution,  that  if  they  can  now  obtain  a 
Peace,  there  never  fhall  be  more  War  as 
Jong  at  he  and  the  Old  Warriors  live. 

<'  On  the  16th  of  laft  Month  the  Bririfh 
Colours  were  difplayed  all  Day  and  Ni^ht 
at  Nookafee,  where  triers  wa«  a  Meeting  of 
nearTooo  Cherokees,  about  1400  of  whom 
were  Men,  and  a  Talk  w^  delivered  by 
Oucannoflotahand  Judd^s  Friend  for  a  Peace 
With  their  Brothers  the  white  Men  ;  [the 
Indians  always  by  white  Men  mean  Britons, 
in  DiflmAion  from  other  Europeans,  whom 
they  call  by  their  common  and  ufual  Names, 
as  French,  Spaniards,  &c  1  which  Talk  was 
repeated  by  the  Tame  Headmen,  and  agreed 
to  by  all  prefent,  the  9th  inflant  at  Sugar- 
town.  Orders  were  thereupon  given,  that 
no  white  Men  [Britons]  coming  into  their 
Nation,  fhoold  be  interrupted,  but  be  al- 
lowed freely  to  pafs  and  repafs.  This  great 
Alteration  in  the  Behaviour  of  the  Indians, 
by. Mr.  Terron  and  others  well  acquainted 
with  them,  is  attributed  entirely  to  the  Talks 
fent  to  them  by  our  Governor  and  Col.  Byrd. 

«  The  whole  Crop  this  Year  in  all  the 
Cherekee  Towns,  notwithfbinding  the  ter- 
rifying Accounts^  eagerly  aAdfedaloany  pro- 


pagated, of  the  great  Quantity  of  Com  that 
would  be  made  in  ihedeAtoyed  and  defolate 
Settlements,  is  not  fufficient  to  fapply  them 
three  Months. 

**  Many  of  that  Nation,  among  whom 
are  nearly  all  the  People  of  the  Middle  Set- 
tlements and  Lower  Towns,  who  were  the 
moit  feverety  chaflifcd  and  fcourged  by  his 
Majcf>y*s  Troops  commanded  by  the  Hon. 
Colonel  Montgomery,  are  now  almofl  na- 
ked and  in  want  of  every  NecelTary.  There 
is,  therefore,  on  the  Wliole,  little  Reafon 
to  doubt  of  the  Sincerity  of  their  Requefls 
for  Peace."

Copy  of  a  Letter  from  a  Right  Reverend  Pre- 
late  to  his  Afajejfy, 
Sirej. 

Amidu  the  Conitratulations  thatfurround 
the  Throne,  permit  me  to  lay  before  your 
MajcAy  a  Heart,  a  Heart,  which,  thoue,h 
oppreffcd  with  Age  and  Infirmity,  is  no 
Stranger  to  the  Joys  of  my  Country. 

When  thtr  melancholy  New»  of  rhe  I^to 
King*s  Pemife*  reached  us,  it  naturally  led 
us  to  confH^r  the  Lofs  we  had  fui^rfined, 
and  upon  what  our  Hopes  of  Fuiuriry  de- 
pended :  The  firft  Part  excited  Grief,  and 
put  all  the  tender  Paflions  into  Motion  ;  hut 
the  fecond  brouf^ht  Life  and  Spirit  with  it, 
and  wiped  the  Tears  ftpm  /every  Face.  Oh  ! 
how  graciouHy  did  the  Providence  of  God 
provide  for  h  Succcflbr,  able  to  bear  the 
Weight  of  Government  in  tli;it  unexpcaid 
Event.  You,  Sir,  are  the  Pcrfon  whom 
the  People  ardently  de^re  ;  which  Affcaicn 
of  theirs  is  happily  returned,  by  your  Ma- 
jeily's  declared  Concern  for  their  Profpcri- 
tji  and  let  nothing  diflurb  this  mutual 
Confent.  Let  there  i)e  but  one  Cohi eft  he. 
tween  them,  Whether  the  King  loves  tJie 
People  bc(i,  or  the  People  him  :  And  may 
it  be  a  long,  a  very  long  Conteft  ;  may  it 
never  be  decided,  but  let  it  remain  doubt* 
ful  J  and  may  the  paternal  Aflfcaion  on  the 
one  Side,  and  the  (ilial  Obedience  en  the 
Othtr,  be  had  in  perpetual  Remembrance. 

This  will  probably  be  the  laft  Time  I 
(hall  ever  trouble  your  Majefty.  I  heg  Leave 
to  exprtfs  my  warmed  Wifhes  and  Prayer) 
pn  your  Behalf.  May  the  God  of  Heaven 
and  Earth  have  you  always  under  his  Pro- 
teaion,  and  direa  you  to  feek  his  Honour 
and  Glory  in  all  you  do  ;  and  may  you  reap 
the  Benefit  of  it,  by  an  Increafe  of  Hap^i- 
nefs  in  this  World,  and  jn  the  next.

TIE  jealous  wife !  a  comedy !  poor  man  ! 
A  channmg  fubje£l !    but  a  wretched 
plan. 
His  fltittiih  wit,  o'crleaping  the  due  bound, 
Ommits  llat  trefpafs  upon  tragick  ground. 
<^rrc!s,  upbraidirvgs,  jcaloufics,  and  fplcrn, 
Crow  too  familiar  in  the  comick  fccnc. 
Tinge  but  the  boguage  with  iieruick.  chimCy 
^Tis  pa(l]oo,  patlios,  charader,  iublime  ! 
What  round  bi^  MK*&%  had  fwelPd  the  pomp- 
ous fcene, 
A  king  the  hu/band,  and  the  wife  a  queen  ! 
Then  niight  diAra£lion  rend  her  pacetui  hair. 
Sec  fightlefs  forms,  and  fcrcam,  and  gape,  and 

dare. 
Drtnvcarjir  death  had  ragM  without  controul. 
Here  the  drawn  dagger,  there  the  po Hn'd 

bovb'I. 
What  e)'es  had  ftream'd  %t  all  the  wiiining 

woe  i 
What  hands  hid  thunder*d  at  each  bab  !  and 

But  pe^ce  !  the  gentle  prok>gue  cuilom  fends, 
Ijke  drum  and  ferjeant,  to  beat  up  h>r  iriends. 
At  vice  and  folJy,  each  a  lawful  game. 
Our  author  flies,  but  with  no/>^r.'iWaim. 
He  read  the  nunncrs,  open  as  they  lie 
]n  nature's  volume  to  the  general  ctc. 
Books  too  he  read,  nor  blulh'd  to  uie  their 

He  does  but  what  his  betters  did  before. 
Shakefpeare  has  done  it,  and  the  Graian  ftage 
Caught  truth  of  c^ara^ter  from  Hcmtr\  page. 

If  in  his  fcenes  an  honeft  ikill  is  (hewn. 
And  borrowing  little,  much  appears  his  own ; 
If  what  a  roafter's  happy  pencil  drew 
He  brings  more  forward  in  dramatic  view  } 
To  your  decifion  he  fubmits  his  caufe. 
Secure  of  candour,  anxious  for  applaufe. 

But  if,  all  nide,  his  artkfs  fcenes  deface 
The  fimple  beauties  which  he  meant  to  grace. 
If,  an  invader  up«n  others  land. 
He  fpoil  and  plunder  with  a  robber^s  hand. 
Do  jufticc  on  him  !  —  as  on  fools  before. 
And  give  to  blockbttuU  pad  one  hiochttad  more.

Mifcellaneous  Correfpondence, 

in  Profe  and  Verfe. 

For    APRIL,     1761. 


SOME  Yean  ago,  a  Vindication  of  Jrifleas^s  Hijiury  of  the  Seftuagimt  wal 
publiQied  by  an  anonyn^ous  Author:  In  one  Fart  of  which  we  have  an 
excellent  Account  of  the  Valuation  of  ancient  Coins,  or  Monies  ;  and  as  it  will 
throw  a  confiderable  Li^ht  upon  fome  important  PafTages  of  Scriptare,  relatives 
10  that  Subjed,  which  leem  not  to  have  been  underllood  by  our  modern  Critica 
and  Interprtttrs,  we  think  the  following  £xtradl  will  be  a  proper  Illacidatioil 
thereof,  and  very  acceptable  to  our  Readers,  who  have  noti'een  the  above  men* 
cioned  Treatife. 


A  Nother  Accufation  againft  oar 
/j^  Author,  and  upon  which  no 
jmall  Strefs  has  been  laid,  is  taken 
from  the  Cods  and  Expences,  which, 
according  to  Arifteas^  attended  this 
Trandation.  Mr.  ProfeHor  Hodf^  in 
his  polite  way,  is  pleafed  to  tell  as, 
that  fach  as  will  ferioufly  conf^ier  the 
Matter,  cannot  doubt  bat  that  Anfieas 
forged  the  fevcral  Sums  faid  to  be  ex- 
pended upon  this  Occaiion.  Dr,  Po- 
mek^  who,  for  his  conrummate  Know* 
ledge  in  the  Oriental  Languages,  can 
never  be  fdfficiently  valued,  thinks^ 
chat  the  whole  Revenue  of  Egypt  could 
icarcely  amount  to  fuch  a  Sum.  And 
the  reverend  and  learned  Author  of  the 
Connexion,  who,  I  fuppofe,  thooghc 
he  onderflood  the  Value  of  Money  as 
well  as  any  fiody,  concludes,  that 
whatever  the  Revenues  of  Egypt  might 
be,  yet  that  Ptolemy  Pbilade/f bus  qo\x\6, 
not  be  fuch  a  Dupb  as  to  part  with  fo 
large  a  Sam  of  Money,  for  what  at 


that  Time  made  only  a  Part  of  one  of 
our  prefent  Bibles.  Some  perhaps, 
who  have  been  wont  to  look  upon  eve« 
ry  Oracle  of  God  as  a  Treafurc  in* 
finitely  exctcJing  all  Price  or  Eilima- 
tion,  may  think  this  but  a  very  coarfe 
Sort  of  a  Complement  upon  the  Holy 
Scriptures;  and  efpecially  from  the

advance  an  incredible  Sum  of  Moncv

according  to  him,  Pif.Umy  expended  in 
redeeming  the  captive  Jf^s,  that  were 
in  his'  Kingdom,  6O0  Talents ;  in 
Vcfiels  of  bilver  fent  to  the  Temple,

bove  Twenty  Times  as  much  as  that 
whole  Library  was  ever  worth.  And 
who  can  then  believe,  that  this  Nar- 
rative, which  makes  Ptolemy  expend 
fo  much  for  one  single  Bock  in  it, 
and  which  neither  he,  nor  any  of  his 
Ccurt,  as  long  as  they  continued  Hea- 
thens, couK'.  have  any  great  Valae  for, 
can  be  a  true  and  genuine  Hiftory  ?** 

Thus  the  learned  Author  of  the 
Connexion  argues:  And  indet-d  it  niuft 
be  confeiied,  that,  were  we  to  compare 
the  Sum  total  as  he  hascaft  it  up  here, 
with  the  Revenue  or  Income  of  an 
Efi^lijh  Deanery,  or  even  with  that  of 
the  bed  Blfhoprick  in  the  King*^  Gift« 
it  would  fecm  to  be  an  incredible  Pur- 
chace  for  any  one  Book  ;  and  efpecial- 
ly,  if  what  he  fays  further  be  true, 
that  Ptoltmy  could  have  no  great  Va- 
lue for  it,  as  long  as  he  continutd  a 
Heathen.  But  on  the  other  Hand,  if 
we  confioer  this  as  a  Tranla^ion  of  a 
great  and  generous  King,  who  knew 
perfidlly  well  both  how  to  improve, 
and  how  to  di'pofe  cf  his  Revenues  in 
the  heft  and  nobleft  Manner;  the  Sum 
perhaps  will  not  appear  fo  incredible  as 
it  is  here  reprefenteid.  Theocritus  tells 
us,  "J  hat  he  ruled  over  33,339  Cities: 
And  if  we  may  fuppofe,  that  the  An- 
nual Tribute  which  they  p^id  hioi, 
amounted  but  to  ten  Talents  of  Silver, 
and  one  Talent  of  Gold,  one  with  a- 
nother ;  which  is  not  a  very  high  Eili- 
matc,  confidering  that  the  laves  of 
Alexandria  alone,  at  the  lowcll  Com- 
putation, have  been  reckoned  to  amount 
to  1,500,000/  Sterling,  per  Anntim^ 
and  upwards;  his  Revence  at  this  Rate 
mull  have  amounted  to  353.390  Ta- 
lents jdi  Silver,  and  33,359  'i  alents  of 
Gold;  which  according  to  the  Doc- 
tor's way  of  Computation  at  206/.  5/. 
for  a  Talent  of  Silver  ;  and  3,300/. 
for  a  Talent  of  Gold,  amounts  in  Ster- 
ling Money  to  the  Sum  of  17  8,6  ho,  3  87/.

OUR  Army  keeps  its  former  Pofition,

Kegiments  that  had  taken  Poffeflion  of  the 
Town.  And  (he  Corps  under  General 
Hardenbcig arrived  on  the  i.«,th  at  Kirch lyn. 

We  hear  that  MaHhal  Bro^lio,  having 
t)een  joined  by  his  Reinforcements  from  the 
Lower  Rhine,  moved  forward  en  the  loth  ; 
and  at  prefer t  occupies,  wi»h  h:i  Van-

His  own  Quarters  were,  tlic  Day  before 
Yefterday,  at  Fiiedbergj  and  he  was  cx-

Hague y  Afjrch  17.  The  Letfers  from 
the  Army  under  Prince  Ferdinand  cf 
Brunfwick,  of  the  8th  Inftant,  informs  us,

at  Sthw&infbtrT.  We  have  received  by 
<hcm,  a  Confij  mation  of  the  News  of  the

the  Gn-rifon  at  Crilfcl  5  in  which  the  French 
took  l^cfTclTion  of  the  Trenches,  carried 
off  four  Mortars,  and  nadcd  up  one  Piece 
of  Cannon,  and  deftroyed  the  Wcrks  of  the

expiration  of  their  fufpenfion  of  Arms  wirh 
the  Pruflians.  The  overflowing  of  the  Vif- 
tula,  in  particular,  has  made  great  devafta-

Horfes,  Sheep  and  Oxen,  have  perifhed  in 
the  Waters,  which  in  their  rapid  courfehave 
alfo  carried  away  Waggons,  Trees,  Beds,

We  hear  that  the  Society  fuv  the  Encou-

meice,  have  adjudged  the  firft  Premium  of 
100  Guineas  for  the  beft  Hiftorical  Paintfng, 
on  .1  SubjeA  taken  from  the  Critilh  Hiftory, 
x*>  the  Chevalier  Cafali,  whofe  Pifture  of 
Cunhilda  obtained  a  Prize  of  50  Guineas 
laft  Year.  The  Story  is  that  of  Edward 
the   Martyr,   and  is  thus  i dated  by  Dr, 


Smollet  in  his  Hiftory  of  England  1  «  Refides 
the  Ecclefiaflical  AfFiirs,  no  Tranfaftlon  of 
Conrcqii»nce  diftin«:ui(hed  the  Reign  of  Ed- 
ward, which  Lifted  but  four  Years,  and 
was  concluded  in  a  very  tragical  Manner. 
The  Kinc:  rcturninjr  one  Day  from  the  Chafe, 
in  Doifetfhirc,  rode  up  fingly  to  the  Gate  of 
Corfe  Caftle,  to  pay  his  Compliments  to  hia 
Step  Mother,  Elfrida,  who  invited  him  very 
courteoufly  to  alight  ;  and  finding  him  in  a 
Hurry  to  be  pone,  infifted  upon  his  drinking^ 
a  Cup  of  Wine  as  he  fat  on  Horfehack  : 
The  young  King  complied  with  her  Requeft, 
and  as  he  fwallowed  the  Liquor  was  ftabb*d 
in  the  Backbyone  ofherDomeftics,  tutor- 
ed for  thati^urpofe.  Edward,  finding  him- 
felf  wounded,  clapped  Spurs  to  his  Horfc» 
hut  fainted  with  Lofs  of  Blocd  j  and  hit 
Foot  being  entangled  in  the  Stirrup,  as  he 
fell  was  dragged  a  confiderable  Way,  when 
his  Horfc  made  a  Stop  of  his  own  Accord 
before  (he  Door  of  a  poor  old  blind  woman  ; 
thtte  ilic  Servants  of  Elfrida,  fcnt  by  their 
Miftrefs  to  know  the  IlFue  of  her  Treafon, 
found  the  unhappy  Prince  quite  dead,  and- 
terribly  defaced  by  the  Flints  over  which  ho 
had  been  dragged.  They  threw  the  Body 
into  a  Well,  where  in  a  few  Days  it  was 
found,  and  interred  at  Wareham  j  froai 
whence  it  was  afterward  tranfported  to  the 
Monaftery  of  Shaftefl>ury,  where  it  is  faid 
to  have  performed  a  great  many  Miracles  ; 
and  Edward  was  canonized  as  a  Saint  and 
Martyr. 

The  Society  likewifc  adjudged  a  Premium, 
of  50  Guineas  for  the  beft  otiginalLandlkip 
to  Mr.  Geo.  Smith,  of  Chichefter,  and  a 
Premium  of  25  Guineas  to  the  fecond  Beft,, 
to  his  Brother  Mr.  John  Smith.  'Tis  re- 
markable that  both  of  them  obtained  the 
Premiums  laft  Year,  when  the  Ballot  was 
fo  exndlly  equal,  that  the  Chairman  only 
decided  in  Favour  of  Mr.  Geo.  Smixh,  and 
the  Merit  of  their  prcfent  Exhibitions  were 
fo  difficult  to  be  determined,  that  many  of 
the  Committee  refufed  to  give  their  Vote  at 
all,  left  it  ihould  be  deemed  partial.

Or  let  me  woe  thee  by  the  flream, 
Obliquely  gildtd  by  the  weflem  beam  : 

While  flies  and  gnats  unnumbered  throng. 
And  faintly  murmur  no  unpleafmg  foog.

Hoots  tremulous,  and  flaps  his  wings  for  flight. 

With  wheeling  plume  the  bat  flies  by. 
And  mocks  th*  i/npcrfcft  motion  of  the  e)e. 

Ti>c  buzzing  chafer  here  and  tnere 
Spreads  his  gauae  wing,  and  fpins  along  the  air. 

But  dark-cy*d  night  (fo  heaven  ordains) 
Comes  nodding  on,  and  blackens  all  the  plains, 

The  pleafing  fcenes,  which  nature  drew, 
Are  clouded  o*er,  and  vani/h'd  froip  the  view.

And  thy  fweet  ihadows,  evening  !  arc  away.

Now  this  Point  being  fettled,  the  them,  the  Gold  and  Silver  was  n- 

next,  and  indeed  the  main  Queftion  is,  lued^  which  Arlfleus  tells  us  PtBiemftX' 

Whether  the  Egyptian  Silver  Talent  pended  upon  this  Occafion  ?  For  mj 

was  equal  in  Weight  to  their  Ponderal  own  Part,  1  own,  I  cannot  but  look 

Talent,  or  not?  Or,  if  the  one  was  upon  it  as  a  Piece  of  great  Preiompdoa 

heavier  or    liehter   than    the   other,  in  any  Body,  to  prttend  xo  compote. 

What  Proportion  the  one  bore  to  the  to  any  tolerable  Exadlncis,  what  the

ted,  that  the  Jtiic  Silver  Talent  might  io  Sterling  Money.     But  if  I  were  to 

be  equal  in  Weight  to  their  Ponderal  guefs,  1  would  chufe  to  value  the  £- 

Talent ;  and  although  it  has  been  ge-  gyptian^  or  Ptolemaic  Money  Talent, 

nerally  averted,  that  one  £^]^//a»  Sil-  at  1500,  or  at  1000  ^//ir  Drachns,

And  languifties,  and  pants,  and  fighs,     ' 
She  breathes  the  fofcneli  of  the  dove. 
And  all  her  fluttering  foul  is  love, 

IV. 
Then  come,  my  fair,  and  let  us  provs 
The  9far  delights  of  virtuous  lovej 
For  virtue  dignifies  the  mind, 
And  makes  the  paflion  more  refin'd. 
When  boundlefs  rapture  we  fhatl  tafte 
When  facred  Hymen  binds  us  faft  ! 
Then  fpring  fliall  make  lier  conftaat  flay. 
And  every  m^raing  (hall  be  May.

FOREIGN    AFFAIRS. 


WE  have  received  the  following  Par- 
ticulars of  Major  Scheiter's  late 
fuccefsfu!  Expedition.  He  croifed  the  Rhine 
at  Billick,  with  36  Horfes,  and  burnt  the 
French  Magazine!  atXarten,  which coofifl- 
ed  cf  about  35,000  Rationa  of  Hay  and 
Straw,  and  1400  Sacks  of  Oats.  From 
thence  he  went  to  Sofiibeck^  and  pafled  by 
Gueldran  and  Stralen,  in  his  Way  to  Ka- 
kirchen  and  Ruremonde,  but  learning  that 
Ruremond  was  poilefled  by  Auflrian 
Troops,  he  went  to  Aerfen,  where  he 
burnt  a  very  great  Magazitfe  of  Hay  and 
Straw,  which  at  a  moderate  Computation , 
confided,  at  lea  A,  of  a  Million  and  a  Half 
of-Rattoms  and  two  Boats,  having  on 
Board  4000  Sacks  of  Oats,  wliich  he  call 
into  the  Maas.  Near  Celdern  be  met  100 
Carts  with  Forage,  which  he  caufed  to  be 
unloaded  and  burnt.  From  Aei  fen  betook 
the  Route  of  Gennep,  and  burnt  tIte  Maga- 
tine  there,  coniifting  of  j 00, 000  Rations  of 
Hay  and  Straw  ;  and  foroe  thoufand  Rations* 
of  Oats.  In  this  Tour,  he  made  16  Prt- 
foners,  whom  he  took  along  with  him,  be- 
fides  a  Serjeant,  and  1%  Auftrian  and  40 
French  Boatmen,  whom,  not  being  able  to 
take  with  him,  he  left  to  the-Magiftrates 
ofStralen  and  Aerfen,  till  his  return.  He 
aftewards  burnt  four  doable  Boats  with  Fo* 
rage,  and  croiTcd  the  Rhine  at  Loburg. 

At  Buderick  there  was  a  Regiment  of 
French  Cavalry  with  glfndered  Horfes : 
They  detached  150  Horfemen  after  him. 
Two  hundred  Foot  were  Tent  after  him,  in 
three  Detachments,  fiom  Wefel;  hut  he 
happily  efcaped  them.  At  Bockholt,  a 
ftrong  Party '  waited  for  him  in  ht^  Return  j 
but  he  made  his  Retxeat,  and  efcaped  from 
them  too. 


He  performed  all  this  in  ninety- three 
Hour's  Time. 

By  Letters  from  WeAphatia  we  under- 
hand that  Prince  Ferdinand*a  Head  Quar- 
terswcje,  onthet6th,  atSocA,  where  his 
.Highnefs  had  aflfemhled  his  whole  Army. 
The  Prince  of  Soubife,  who  had  marched 
by  Bockum,  and  Dortmund,  to  Unna,  was 
at  the  laA  of  thofe  Places  on  the  a 6th,  when 
the  two  Armies  were  within  a  Day  *s  March 
of  each  other.  Marihal  Broglio  too  was  in 
Motion. 

Every  Thing  continued  in  the  fame  State 
in  Saxony  on  the  13d  Inft.  and  in  Silefia  on 
the  18th.

fEOod  Faich  of  the  Catholic  King,  than  in 
Ihewing  htm  an  unbounded.Confidence,  in 
Co  important  an  Affair,  and  which  fo  efTtn* 
tially  in'erefted  his  own  Dignity,  the  Good 
of  his  Kingdonu,  and  CheHappinefs  of  bis 
Ptoplt. 

How  great,  then,  ^at  the  King*s  Sur- 
prize, when,  inilead  of  receiving  the  juft 
Safisfadion,  which  he  had  a  Right  to  tx> 
ye€t,  he  leamt  from  his  AmbaflTiftdor,  that, 
having  addreffed  himfelf  to  the  Mintfter  of 
Spain  for  that  Pttrpofe,  he  could  only  draw 
from  htm  a  Refufal  to  give  a  fatisfaftory  An- 
fwer  to  his  Majefty's   juft  Rcquifitions, 
which  he  had  accompanied  v^ith  Terms  that 
breathed  nothing  bat  Haughtinefs,  Animo- 
Bty,  and   Menace;  and  which  fenned  fo 
ftrongfy  to  verify  the  Snfpicions  of  the  una- 
micable  Difpofition  of  the  Court  of  Spain, 
that  nothing  tefs  than  his  Msjefty*«  Mode- 
ration,  and  hts  Refolotionuken  to  make 
all  the  Efforts  poflible  to  avoid  the  Mixfor- 
tunes  iniipparablefrom  a  Rupture,  coti{<i  do- 
termtne  him  to  make  alaft  Trial ;  by  giving: 
Orders  to  his  Ambaflador  to  addrefs  himfelf 
to  the  MiniAer  of  Spain,  to  defirs  him  to  in- 
form him  of  the  Intentions  of  the  Couit  of 
Madrid  towards  that  of^Great-Britain  inthis 
Conjun^re,  If  they   had  taken  Engage* 
ments,   or  foi'med  the  Defign  to  join  the 
King*s.Enetnte«in  the  prefent  War,  or  to 
depart,  in  any  Manner,  from  the  Neutra* 
Lty   they  had  hitherto  observed ;   and  'to 
make  that  MiniAer  fenfible,  that  if  they 
periiAed  in  refuting  all  Satisfaftion  on  T>e- 
Bands  fo  juft,  •  fo  neceffary,  *nd  fo  intereft- 
inf ,  the  King  could  not  but  confider  fuch  a 
Rcftital  as  the  moft  authentic  Avowal,  that 
Spain  had  taken  her  Part,  and  that  there 
•nly  remained  for  hb  Majefty  to  take  the 
Mcafores  which  his  Royal  Prudence  ihould 
dilate  for  the  Honovr  and  Dignity  of  hit 
Crown,  and  for  the  Profpcrity  and  Pfotcc. 
tion  of  his  People :  And  ^(o  vecall  his  Am- 
^aAdor. 

Unhappily  for  ^  public  Tranquility,  for 
the  Intereftof  the  two  Nations,  and  for  the 
^fOod  of  Mankind,  this  laft  Step  was  as 
fruitlefs  as  the  preceding  Ones  4  the  €paniAi 
Miniiler,  keeping  no  further  Meafnres,  an- 
fwered  dryly,  *•  That  it  was  in  that  very 
Moment,  that  the  War  was  declared,  and 
the  King's  Dignity  attacked,  and  that  the 
Earl  of  Briftol  might  retire  how^  and  when, 
fee  Ihoald  think  proper.** 

And  in  order  to  fet  in  its  true  Light  the 
Declaration,  "  That,  if  the  Rcfpeddue  to 
hie  Catholic  Ma)e%  had  been  regarded, 
Expbnations  might  have  been  had  without 
any  Difficulty,  and  that  the  Minifters  of 
Spain  might  have  Cud  frankly,  as  Monf.  de 
£ytDt#s,  by  the  KiDg*i  vxprcii  Order^  de* 


dares  poblickly,  that  the  faid  Treaty  ?s  on* 
ly   a  Convention   between  the  Family  of 
Bourbon;  wherein  there  is  nothino^,  which 
has  the  leaft  Relation  to  the  preftnt  War  ; 
and  that  the  Guaranty,  which  is  therein 
fpecified,  is  not  to  be  undet  Aood  but  of  ttie 
Dominions,  which  (hall  remain  to  France 
after  the  War  :'*  It  is  declared,  that,  very 
far  from  thinking  of  being  wanting  to  tho 
Refpeft,  acknowledged  to  be  due  to  crown- 
ed Heads,  the  Inftrudions,  given  to  the 
Carl  of  Briftol,  have  always  been  to  make 
"the  Requiiitions,  on  the  Subje^  of  the  En- 
gagements betv^een  the  Courts  of  Madrid 
and  Vei failles,  with  all  the  Decency,  and 
all  the  Attehtion  podible  ;  and  the  Demand 
of  a  caiegorial  Anfwer  was  not  made  till 
after  repeated,  and  the  moft  flinging  Refu- 
fals  to  give  the  leaft  SatisfoAion,  and  at  the 
iaft  Extremity  ;  therefore,  if  the  Court  of 
Spain  ever  had  the  Defign  to  give  ihis'fo  ne- 
eeilary  €atisfa^on,  they  had  not  the  leafl 
Iteafon,  that  ought  to  have  engaged  them  to 
defer  it  to  the  Moment,  when  it  couM  no 
tonger  be  of  Ufe.     But,   fortunately,  the 
Terms,  in  which  the  Declaiation  is  con- 
ceived, fpare  us  the  Regret  of  not  having 
received  it  fooner ;  for  it  appears  at ,  firfl 
Sight,  that  the  Anfwer  is  .not  at  all  con<* 
formable  to  the  Demand  s  We  wanted  to  be 
informed,  i/Jhe  Court  ^f  Spsiu  intended  f 
join  the  French^  our  Bnemiet,  t»  make  War  9m 
Great-Britain ,  cr  to  depart  frfm  their  iVinr- 
trality :  Whereas  -the  Anfwer  concerns  one 
Treaty  only,  which  is  faid  to  be  of  the  X5th 
•f  Auguft,  carefully  avoiding  to  fay  the  leaft 
Word,  that  could  explain,  in  any  Manner^ 
the  Intentions  of  Spain  towards  Great'Bri- 
tain,  or  the  further  Engagements  they  may 
havecontraded  in  the  ptefent  Crifis. 

Afrcr  a  Dedudion,  as  exa£i  as'  faithful, 
•f  whit  has  paffed  between  the  two  Courts, 
it  is  left  to  the  impartial  Public  to  decide, 
which  of  the  two  has  always  been  inclin- 
ed to  Peace,  and  which  was  determined  on 
War. 

As  to-the  Reft,  the  Earl  of  Egremont  has 
the  Honour  to  acquaint  his  Excellency  the 
Covnt  de  Fuentes,  by  the  Kmg*s  Order, 
that  the  neceffafy  I'affports  for  him  (hall  be 
expedited,  and  that  they  will  not  fail  to  pro- 
cure him  all  pofftbie  Facilities  for  his  Paffage

WE*  have  received  Advice  here,  that 
the  Commandant  of  Colhcrg,  COl. 
Heyden,  *has  at  laft  been  obriged  to  furren- 
der  the  Town,  by  Capitulation,  to  the  Ruf*

The  RulTians,  from  being  Madersof  this 
Fortwftj  have  fince  fpread  themfelves  in 
Pomcrania,  to  take  up  their  Winter-quar-

Magazines  having  been  emptied  to  fupply 
Colberg,  and  there  is  no  other  Pruffian

bead-quarters  at  this  place)  amount  to  10,000 
men. 

Mecklenhfiurg,  i.  The  laft  rencounter  of 
the  PruiTiaris  and  S weeds  at  Baxduw,  has 
proved  fatal  to  that  village,  which  took  fire

duced to  afhes,  fo  that  only  the  church  and 
the  caftle  remain.

ia  faid  to  join  Prince  Henry's  army  j  and 
Gen.  Faden  remains,  with  a  fmall  corps,  at

Letters  from  Brcflaw,  of  the  31ft  of  De-

continued  there  in  very  good  health. 

The  Duke  of  Wurtembcrg,  with  the  corps

Frier.dil.ip  :tnd  Regard  of  the  Court  of 
Great  Riitain  for  the  King  of  Spain,  and 
his  Family.  After  a  Conduft  fo  friendly, 
and  fo  full  of  good  Faith,  on  our  Part,  it 
was  Matter  of  i^reat  Surprize  to  us,  to  And 
a  Memorial  de'ivcred  on  the  twenty-third 
Day  of  July  laft,  by  Monfieur  BuflTy,  Mlnif- 
ter  Plenipolentirny  of  Fiance,  to  one  of  our 
Principal  Secretaries  of  State,  exprefsly  i e- 
lating  to  the  Difj^utes  between  us  and  the 
Crown  of  Spain ;  and  declaring,  th'it,  if 
fliofe  Ohjc^s  Hiculd  bring  on  a  Wnr,  the 
Flench  King  would  be  obliged  to  take  Part 
therein.  Our  Surprize  was  encieafcd,  when, 
afrerwardi,  this  unprecedented  and  ofTcn- 
livc  Step,  made  by  a  Power  in  open  War 
with  us,  was  avowed,  by  the  Spantfh  Mi- 
|iii\er  to  our  AmbafTadcr  at  M.idrid,  to  have 
been  taken  wirt,  the  full  Approbation  and 
Conftnt  of  the  King  of  Spain.  But^  as  this 
avowal  w.is  accompanied  with  the  mo(l  be- 
coming Apologies  on  the  Part  of  the  King 
of  Spain,  and  with  A/Turances,  that  fuch 
MemoridI  never  would  have  been  delivered^ 
if  if  had  been  fortfeen  that  we  (hoiild  liave 
looked  upon  it  in  an  ofTenftve  Light  ;  and 
that  the  Kin^  oi'  Spain  was  at  Liberty,  and 
ready,  to  adjufl  all  hit  Differences  with 
Great  Britain,  without  the  Intervention,  or 
Knowledge,  of  France;  and  foon  after,  we 
had  the  Satisfaction  to  be  informed  by  our 
Ambaflador  at  Madrid,  that  the  Spanifli 
J^initUrjf  taking  Notice  of  the  Reports  in- 


duftrioofly  fpread  of  an  approachinft  Hopr 
ture,  had  acquainted  him,  that  the  King  of 
Spain  had,  at  no  Time,  been  more  intent  on 
cultivatmg  a  good  Cori^fpondence  with  as  \ 
and  as  the  6panifh  AmbafCidor  at  our  Court 
made  repeated  Declarations  to  the  fame  Ef- 
fe£l ;  we  thought  ourfelves  bound,  in  Juf- 
tice  and  Prudence,  to  forbear  coming  ro 
BxfremiCies.  But  the  fame  tender  Concern^ 
for  the  Welfare  of  our  Subjeds,  which  pre- 
vented our  accelerating  pi ecipitately  a  War 
with  Spain,  if  it  could  pofllbly  be  avoided, 
made  it  ncccflTiry  for  us  to  endeavour  to 
know  with  certainty,  what  were  the  En- 
gagements, and  real  Intentions  of  the  Court 
of  Spain.  Therefore,  as  we  hadJnforim- 
lion,  that  Engagements  had  been  late)y  con- 
traced  between  the  Courts  of  Madrid  and 
Verfailles ;  and  it  wasfoonafterindiiftrioii/ly 
fpread  throughout  all  Europe,  by  the  Mi- 
ni Aers  of  France,  that  the  Parport  of  thofe 
Engagements  was  hoftile  to  Great  Britain, 
and  that  Spain  was  on  the  Point  of  enrering 
into  the  War  ;  we  direAed  our  AmbafTador 
to  defire,  in  the  mod  friendly  Term5,  a 
communication  of  the  Treaties  lately  con- 
cluded between  France  and  Spain ;  or  of 
fuch  Articles  thereof  at  immediately  rehttd 
to  the  Intereft  of  Great  Britain,  if  any  fiicli 
there  were  ;  or,  atleaft,  an  Aflurancethat 
theie  were  none  incompatible  with  the 
Friendfhip  fubfifting  between  ut  and  the 
Crown  of  Spain.  Our  Aftonilhment  and 
Concern  wa^  great,  when  we  learnt,  that 
fo  far  from  giving  Satisfa^ion  .upon  fo  rea- 
fonable  an  Application,  the  Spanifh  Minify 
tcr  had  declined  Anfweringi  with  Reafon- 
ings  and  Infmuations  of  a  very  boftile  Ten- 
dency :  And  as,  at  the  faitie  Time,  we 
had  Intelligence,  that  great  ArroanienU 
were  making  in  Spain,  by  Sea  and  land, 
we  thought  it  ahfolutely  necefiary  to  try, 
once  more,  if  a  Rupture  could  be  avoided : 
We  therefore  direded  our  Ambaflador  to 
alk,  in  a  firm,  but  friendly  Manner,  Whe- 
ther the  Court  of  Madrid  intended  to  join 
the  French,  our  Enemies,  to  aA  hoAdely 
againft  Great  Britain,  or  to  depart  from  its 
Neutrality  ;  and,  if  he  found  the  Spanifh 
Minifter  avoided  to  give  a  clear  Anfwer,  to 
insinuate,  in  the  moft  decent  Manner,  that 
the  refuting,  or  avoiding  to  Anfwer  aQuef- 
tionforeaHonable,  couM  only  arife  from  the 
King  of  Spain's  haying  already  engaged,  or 
refolved  to  take  Part  againfl  us,  and  muf% 
be  looked  upon  as  an  avowal  of  fuch  hoftilQ 
Intention,  and  equivalent  to  a  Declaration 
of  War ;  and  that  he  hacT orders  immediate- 
ly to  leave  the  Court  of  Madrid.  The 
peremptory  refufal  by  the  Court  of  Spcin  to

The  cid  Warwick  man  of  War,  which  is

the  Spaniards,  u  called  the  Antigallican's 
Revenge. 

U  is  faid  the  grand  lodge  of  Free-ma- 
fc'ps  arc  gcint;  to  fit  out  a  (hip  of  50  guns, 
and  to  carry  4C0  men. 

The  Albion  fociety  are  fitting  out  a  large 
privateer,  which  is  to  be  called  the  Royal 
Charlotte  (in  honour  to  her  Majefty)  which 
iito  mount  30  guns,  and  to  carry  aoomen. 
We  hear  from  Newcaftle  upon  Tyne, 
that  the  Ladies  there  have  opened  a  fubfcrip- 
t;on  for  fitting  cut  a  ftcut  Privateer  to  cruize 
againil  the  Spaniards,  which  they  propofe 
to  call  ritt*s  Right. 

The  fpirit  of  the  people  againfl  the  Spa-

400  men  offered  themfelves  to  enter  on 
board  the  Hunter  frigate  in  three  days 
time,  in  order  (hortly  to  fet  out  on  4 
cruize. 

We  learn  from  Holland,  that  in  the  end

balTador,  prefented  a  Memorial  to  the  Sratcs 
Ceneral,  complaining  gricvcufly  of  the  ma- 
nifefl  partiality  and  avidity  of  their  fubjcfts, 
who  continued  to  fupply  the  French  with  all 
neceflaries  for  building  (hips,  carrying  into 
their  ports  not  only  timber,  but  rigging, 
cordage,  and  every  other  neccirary  ;  and 
therefore  requiring  their  High  Mi5htine(res 
to  forbid  all  their  S;ibjtAs..  under  fevere  pe- 
nalties, to  continue  a  trade  fo  prejudicial 
to  the  tngiKh,  and  of  which  they  (hemielves

none  of  the  "Enemy's  Fleets  of  force  have 
entered  to  Sea  rlys  War,  which  have*  not 
been  coHfiderahly  reduced  before  their  re- 
turn, and  it  is  not  improbable  but  this 
may  now  again  be  the  Cafe,  as  we  are 
fo  well  prepared  in  cv^y  Part  of  the

We  ate  Informed  by  thebtefl  Advices  that 
a  Ceflation  of  Arms  is  a^^ually  agreed  upon 
between  the  Emperor  of  RuHia  and  the 
King  of  Pruflia. 

The  following  Declaration  of  War  by  Spain 
a^cainft  Great  Britain,    dated  the  16th  of 
January,   was  publiO^ed  at  Madrid,  on 
the  1 8th. 
The  king. 

«'  AithoU9,h  I  haife  already  taken  for  a 
Declaration   of   War  by  England  ag:ainft 
^pain,  the  inconfiderat^*  Step  of  Lord  Brif- 
tol,     the  Britannic  King*s  Ambaflfadnr  at 
my  Codrt,  when  he  demanded  of  Don  Ri» 
chard  Wait,    ray  Mintfter  of  State,  what 
Engagements  I  had  contracted  with  France, 
.making  this  the  Condition  of  his  Demand , 
or  rather  adding  this  Threat,    That  if  ho 
did  not  receive  a  categorical  Anfwerj^    he 
would  ieave  my  Court,  and  take  the  Deni« 
;sl  for  an  Aggreflion  ;   and  although,  before 
this  Provocation  was  received,  my  Patience 
vras  tired  out  with  fuifcring  and  beholding, 
on  many  Occafions,    that  the  En^ifti  Go- 
vernment minded  no  otiier  Law,    but  the 
^ggrandifement  of  their  Nation  by  Land, 
and  univerfaJ    Defpotifm  by  Sea  {    I  was 
'iievertiielefs  dtfirout  to  fee  w.hether  this 
Menace  would  be  carried  into  Execution  ; 
or  whether  the  Couit  of  England,    fenfibie 
of  the  Inefficacy  of  fuch  Methods  towards 
^  my  Dignity  and  that  of  my  Crown,  would 
.  not  employ  others  that  (hould  be  more  ftii- 
'  table  to  me,  and  make  me  overlook  all  thofe 
Infults.    But  the  HaoghtineTs  pf  the  En«> 
giifli  was  fo  far  from  containing  it  within 
.  jult  Bounds,    that  I  have  juft  learnt  that  on 
the  2d  inftant  a  Refolution  was  taken  by  the 
Britannick  King  in  Council,  to  declare  War 
againfl  Spain.     Thus,    feeing  myfelf  under

p!e,  which  I  woiMd  never  have  given,  be- 
caufe  it  is  fo  horrible  and  To  contrary  toHti*

about  feven  Days  old,  and  between  50  and  ^  Degrees  high 
above  the  Horizon,  there  appeared  a  luminous  Circle  round 
ahout  the  Moon,  about  40  Degrees  Diameter,  and  on  the  North- 
eaft  was  another  luminous  Circle  of  about  60  Degrees  Diameter, 
^pvbich  eroded  the  other  and  went  thro*  the  Center  of  the  Moon, 
Che  Sky  being  clear  and  free  irutn  Ck>ods,  and  the  Circles  were 
lominous,  and  without  any  Appearance  of  the  Ooloursof  a  Rain-

the  Reft,  though  the  whole  larger  Circle  ^Vas  very  boght,  cx- 
c^  Joft  near  the  Moon,  where  it  was  a  little  fainter.  At  a-

oi  MaitiniCo,  Jan.  ao,  1762. 


<c 


My  Lord, 

"  T  have  the  Honour  to  acquaint  your 
Lordfliip,  that  we  left  Barbndoes  the  5th 
InttiPt,  anchored  in  St.  Ann's  Bay  in  this 
Ifl.ir.d  ihe7th,  the  Ships  of  War  having  fi- 
]cn«-«:d  r)mc  Batteries  which  the  Enemy  had 
created  thcie,  and  w!»ere  I  was  in  Hopes  to 
have  been  able  to  have  landed  on  the  wedcrn 
S  de  of  the  Bay,  and  to  have  croflfed  over 
tuiWt  Ro/il  Djy  3  but  the  Ulfnculue«  iVvat 


would  have  attended  our  being  fupplicd  with 
Provifions  and  Stores,  added  to  the  Sc;ircity 
of  frefh  Water  in  that  Part,  made  medcfirt. 
I  then  thought  that  if  I  could  get  Po(reflit>n 
of    Pidgeon    Ifland,    a   feciire  Anchora^ 
might  be  .had  for  the  Fleet  and  Tranfports 
in  Fort  Royal  Harbour.     For  this  Purpofc  I 
detached  two  Brigades  of  the  Army,  under 
the  Command  of  Brigadier  Haviland,  and 
Grant,  to  Ance  Darlet,  where  they  landed, 
and  marched  to  the  Ground  oppofi'e  to  the 
Ifland  ;  but  finding  the  Road  impafTable  for     i 
Cannon,  which  were  necefTary  for  the  Re- 
dudlion  of  that  'Ifland,  I  judged  it  bed  for 
his  Majefly*s  Service  to  proceed   (having;  ^  j 
previoufly  reconnoitred  the  Shore)  and  land 
near  the  Cafe  des  Navires ;  which  we  efTec-     < 
ted  on  the  i6rh;  without  any  Molefbtion,    j 
the  Ship!!  of  War  having  (ilenced  the  Batte. 
ries  above  us.     I  had  forgotten,  my  Lord, 
to  mention,  that  with  the  above  Commimi 
were  the  Light. Infantry  under  Lieut.  Col. 
Scott,  who^we^e  advanced  the  Night  the 
Commind   remained  thcre^  and  were  at- 
tacked in  the  Night  by  ih/ee  Companio  of 
Grenadiers,  fome  Freebooters ,  Ncgroei,and 
Mulattoes,  which  the  Enemy  had  paffed 
over  from  Fort  Royal  ;  but  they  were  fo 
warmly  received,  that  they  retreated  preci- 
pitately, leaving  forae  dead }    and  a  Ser« 
jeant  and  three  of  their  Grenadiers  takea 
Prifoners,  without  any  Lofs  on  our  Side. 

<<  We  are  now  encamped  upon  the 
Heights  above  Cafe  des  Navires  ;  and  I  was 
in  Hopes,  before  this  Time,  to  have  given 
your  Lordfliip  more  fatisfaflory  Accounts 
of  our  Operations.  But  the  Ravines,  or 
Gullies,  we  have  to  pafi,  are  of  fuch  Depth 
and  Difficulty  of  Accefs,  and  that  in  the 
Face  of  many  Battel ies  and  Redoubts,  with 
the  whole  Country,  as  well  Mulattoes  and 
Nec^rces,  as  Inhabitants,  in  Arms,  and 
without  being  able  ^o  procure  ^ny  material 
Intelligence,  (hat  I  do  not  think  it  prudent 
to  expofe  his  Majcfly's  Troops,  unUl  I  can 
ere€t  Batteries  to  cover  them,  which  we 
are  at  Work  upon  with  the  utmoft  Expedi- 
tion. 

'*  However,  my  Lord,  I  have  thePlea- 
fure  to  acquaint  you,  that  the  Troopa  con- 
tinue healthy,  although  they  luive  been  ne- 
ceffarily  expofed  to  faying  on  their  Anns, 
and  are  in  the  highef^  Spirits ;  and  I  don*t 
in  the  leaft  doubt  but  that  1  fliall  be  able  to 
execute  this  principal  Objcd  of  his  Majt- 
lly's  Commands,  of  wtiich  1  fhall  give  your 
Lordfliip  the  earlid  Notice. 

<*  It  gives  me  great  Pteifure  to-acauaint 
your  Lordfhip,  how  much  I  am  indebted 
to  Admiral  Rodney,  for  the  Afliftance  re- 
ceived from  the  Fleet  under  his  Command :

'*  I  dcfire  you  will  acquaint  their  Lord- 
Ihipa^  that  I  ariived  at  Bnbadocs  on  the 
2zd  of  November,  having  parted  Company 
With  the  Squadron  under  my  Command  in  a 
h^rd  Gal«  of  Wind,  a  few  Days  after  we 
kit  the  Channel. 

«<  JThe  Foudroyant,  Modefl0>  and  Bafi-

arrived  the  i4ih  of  December,  and  Major- 
General  Monckton,  with  the  Forces  from 
North- America,  on  the  341  h  ;  and  having 
remained  a  few  Days  to  water  the  Ships, 
rcfreAi  the  Men,  and  make  the  neceflary 
Difpofitions  for  our  Enterprize,  we  arri- 
ved off  Martinico  the  7th  of  Januay  $  and 
on  the  8th  we  all  anchored  in  St.  Ann*s 
B^y,  the  Ithips  I  had  appointed  (under  Sir 
Jamea  Douglas)  having  filenced  the  Forte 
of  that  CoaAj  in  performing  which, 
we  bad  the  Misfortune  to  lofe  the  Raifona- 
hle,  as  file  was  leading  in  for  one  of  the 
£riemy*a  Batteries,  owing  to  the  Pilot**  be- 
i  iog  Ignorant  of  a  Utc)e  Reef  of  Rocks,  which 
took  bcr  up.  We  have  faved  all  her  Peo  • 
pie,  all  her  Stores,  and  I  hope  foon  to  gee 
aJi  ber  Guns. 

**  Having,  by  this  Motion  of  the  Fleet 
and  Army,  taken  Po/TclTion  of  an  excellent 
Harbour,  and  fecured  a  Landing  on  the 
wcathcrmofl  Hart  of  the  Ifland,  which  might 
be  made  tenable  at  any  l^'me,  as  Jikewife 
thereby  greatly  alarmed  the  Enemy,  at  Ge- 
neral Monckton^s  Requeft,  I  difpatched 
Commodore  Swan  ton,  with  a  Squadron  of 
Ships,  and  two  Brigades,  to  the  Bay  of  Pe- 
tite Ance,  in  order  to  take  Pofl  there.  Cap- 
uin  Hervey  of  the  Dragon  having  (ilenced 
the  Battery  of  the  Grand  Ance,  landed  his 
Marines  and  Seamen,  who  attacked  it  alfo 
from  the  Shore,  and  took  PoiTcfllion  of  the 
Fcrt  ;  and,  on  the  i4tH,  I  followed  with 
the  whole  Fleet  aad  Army,  after  dedroying 
tlic  £oemy*s  Batteries  at  Su  Anne'ft  Bay^ 


when,  having  reconnoitred  the  Coaft  with 
the  General,  we  came  to  a  Refolution  to 
make  an  Attempt  between  Poipt  Negroe 
and  the  Cas  de  Pilotte,  which  I  ordered  to 
be  attacked  on  the  16th  ;  and  having  very 
fuccefsfuliy  and  with  very  little  Lofs  filen* 
ced  the  Batteries,  I  landed  Gen.  Mouncktoa 
with  the  greatcil  Part  of  his  Forces  by  Sun-» 
fet  J  and  the  whole  Army  was  on  Shore  a 
little  after  Day-light  next  Morning,  wirh- 
'out  the  Lofs  of  a  Man  (the  Boats  being 
commanded  by  Commodore  Swanton  in  the 
Center,  Capr.  Shuldham  00  the  right  Wing, 
and  Capt.  Hervey  on  the  Left)  with  fuch 
NecefTaries  as  they  were  mo(t  immediately 
in  Want  of,  and  had  all  the  ^hips  and  Tran- 
f ports  anchored  as  much  in  Safety,  as  this 
Cpa/l  will  admit. 

*'  I  alfo  landed  two  Batallions  of  Ma- 
rines, confifting  of  450  Men  each. 

"  The  Army  ar«  now  carrying  on  their 
Approaches  to  the  Heights  of  Mount  Gre-

my have  made  as  Arong  as  Art  can  do,  and 
from  whence  the  General  propofes  to  lay 
Siege  to  Fort  Royal.

that,  and  the  following  Day,  by  the  Enemy 
from  Morne  Gamier.  Finding  that  it  was 
ahfohitely  neceflary  to  attack  this  Place  to 
the  Lcfr,  where  the  Corps  of  Light  Infantry, 
and  Trigadier  Haviland's  Brigade  were

Batteries  a;?ainrt  thefe  of  the  Enemy  which 
annoyed  us.  and  which  might  alio  cover  oor 
PafTage  of  the  Ravine. 

On  the  27th,    about  four  o'clock  in  the

and  fuch  wab  the  Order  of  the  Troops,  that 
they  parted  the  Ravine  with  the  Enemy, 
feized  their  Batteries,    and  took  Port  there, 
being  reinforced  by  Briga<)ier  Walftt's  Bri  • 
gade,  and  the  Diviiion  of  Grenadiers  under 
Brigadier  Grant,   who  immediately  on  flie 
Attack    had    marched    to    fupport   them. 
Night  was  now  come  on  ;  hut  M.ijor  Leiand 
moving  on  to  the  Left  with  his  Light  Infan-

his  Route  towards  the  Enemy's  Redoubt,

for  thefe  Reafons  the  News  of  a  Cnncliifion 
of  Peace,  or  at  leaft  of  Preliminai-ies,  would 
not  be  at  aii  furptizing. 

The  Hanoverian  Generals,  Lewkeoor  and 
Spheiter,  have  opened  the  Campaign  hy  fur- 
prizing  a  great  Frencli<^onvoy,  ;tnd  bcAdes

which  rhe  Allies  will  befupported  by  a  Corps

to  quarter  them  in  the  Town  to  prevent 
their  Defer tion.

T-aigenefs  of  r>«^minions  ;  and  it  is  certain 
thir  the  Tncreafe  of  Hands,  with  the  right 
Fniployment  of  them,  is  the  great  Art  of 
Covrrnmtnt :  As  alfo  that  the  Hiince  who

The  l^ruiCi  Colonies  and  Plantatiinn  in 
AmtTica,  toi;eih<nr  with  the  Kewioandland

N^ivitration  and  Seamen^  as  alfo  tiie  greatcll

Yet  it  hat  been  a  Matter  of  Queftion  wirh 
fome,  whether  our  American  Lolonirs  and 
plantations  are  not.  prejudicial  to  Great- 
Brirain  }  and  a  Moot*  point  with  othcri, 
whether  they  are  of  any  Anvantage  to  it  ? 

If  mufl  be  allowed,  that  a  Country  which 
takes  no  Care  to  encourage  an  Acceffinn  of 
Srrangers,  in  a  Courfe  of  Time  will  find 
Plantations  of  pernicious  Confequcnce. 

As  for  Example  $  the  Colonies  in  Ame- 
rica have  ruined  the  European  Spaniards. 
But  this  can  he  no  Argument  a^infl  Great 
Britain  and  herCohmies  ;  for  the  Spaniards 
have  been  guilty  of  great  Impolicy  tn  mak« 
ing  no  r-roviijon  to  repair  the  Uofs  of  Peo- 
ple which  their  Colonies  carry  ont ;  Where- 
as in  the  Bririfh  Colonies  and  Plantations, 
all  Foreiners  may  he  made  Deniiens  atati 
inconfiderahle  Charge  ;  whereby  manyPei>- 
pie  of  mII  Nations  are  invited  and  cnrouragixi 
to  fettle  and  plant  in  the  Britiih  Territories, 
where  the  Crown  gains  Suhje£h  in  them 
and  their  Children,  while  the  Nation  gets 
Wealth  by  their  Labour  and  Induftiy.

carried  no  Prefents,  which  itfeems  they  did,

the  Misfortunes  of  the  War,  which  they

to  contribute  to  the  Mappinefs  of  Peace  » 
but  unfortunately  it  is  not  in  his  Power  to 
do  it,  except  by  Force  (and  that  is  what 
Ihey  invite  him  to)  in  order  to  reduce  the 
Enemy  not  to  defpife  Propofals  of  Accom-

*•  That,  if  there  fh.^uld  be  a  new  Nego-

Chrifkian  Majefltes  would  accept  the  Medi- 
ation of  his  mod  Faifhful  M;4}efty,  out  of

contr^iry  tohi!i  own  Deeorum,  if  hftlhould, 
on  his  Side,  admit  it,  when  he  calls  to  mind

prove it.  but  they  imitate  it,  by  pitying 
their  Subje£l>  for  fo  many  Calamities :  How- 
ever, their  MajeftUs  are  not  blameable  for 
thofe  they  fuffer  by  War,  no  more  than  his 
mofl  Faithful  Majefly  will  be,  when  he  en- 
ters inco  it,  with  fo  much  Juflice  as  the  pre- 
fent ;  he  ought,  on  the  contrjiry,  to  hope,  by 
the  AfTiOance  of  God,  and  of  his  good  Al- 
lies, for  new  fplendour  to  hi»  Crown,  and 
the  greatc A  Advantages  to  his  Suhjcfts  : 
They  will  then  open  a  flrong  and  folid  Sy- 
ftem,  as  well  in  Peace,  as  War:  Whereas 
by  that  of  an  Union  with  the  Eni^Yifh,  the 
Riik  and  uncertainty  of  the  AfTiflance  of

m.iy  be  now  fecn  by  the  very  Precautions

9g2  A  Chronological  Memoir  of  Occurrences. 


**  My  Lcrdt,  and  GeMthmen, 
«'  The  public  huCmtU,  for  which  yoa 
were  aiTembled,  being  now  happily  con- 
cluded, the  advanced  Se^ifon  of  the  Year 
calls  upon  Me  to  put  an  End  to  this  Sefllon 
cf  Parliament ;  which  I  cannot  do,  without 
exprclTing  the  higheft  Approbation  of  the 
Zeai,  Unanimity,  and  Difpatch«  which 
liave  fo  Qgnally  appeared  in  the  Courfe  of 
your  Proceedings. 

**  At  the  Opening  of  this.Seflton  I  in- 
formed you,  that  it  had  been  my  earneft 
^ifl)  to  reAore  the  BielTtngs  of  Peace  to  my 
people  $  but  that  it  was  my  fixt  Refolucion, 
with  your  Concurrence  and  Support,  tocar- 
ry  on  the  War  in  the  mofi  effcd^ual  Man<- 
ner,  till  that  defirabte  Ohjc6b  could  be  ob> 
Cained  upon  equitable  and  honourable  Con- 
cNtioiis.  My  Sentiments  in  both  thefe  Re- 
ipc&i  continue  invariably  the  fame  ;  and  I 
have  the  SatisfaQlon  to  find  them  confirm- 
ed by  the  unanimous  Voice  of  my  ParKa- 
inenr. 

**  The  Declaration,  which  Motives  of 
Humanity  have  engaged  the  Emperor  of 
iluQia  to  make  to  alt  the  Courts  in  that  Al- 
liance, and  the  great  and  happy  Change  in 
Che  Situation  of  my  Ally,  the  King  of  Pruf- 
fia»  give  us  juft  Reafon  to  hope,  that  the 
o:her  betligerant  Powers  may  be  ipduced  to 
entertain  the  fame  pacific  Difpofitions.  On 
the  other  Hand,  our  Rupture  with  Spain, 
notwithfbinding  my  utmoft  Endeavours  to 
prevent  it,  and  the  violent  and  unprovojced 
Attack  with  which  the  Dominions  of  my 
sincient  Ally,  the  ICing  of  Portugal,  are 
threatened,  fufficiently  evince  the  Wifdom 
•nd  Neceflity  of  that  Firmnefs  and  Refolu- 
tion  in  my  Parliament,  which  have  enabled 
Me  to  continue  our  military  Operations 
without  the  leafl  Tnterruptioo  or  Delay; 
and  confiderably  to  augment  my  Fleets  and 
Armies  in  thofe  Party,  in  Nvhich  our  Ene- 
mies can  be  mo(l  fenfibly  dif^refled.  The 
i;gnal  Succefs  of  my  Arms  in  the  Conqueft 
of  Martinico,  and  the  Acquifition  of  many 
other  valuable  Settlements  in  the  Weft  In- 
dies, have,  under  the  Blefling  of  God,  been 
the  happy  Confequences  of  thefe  Meafures. 
1  trull  in  the  Divine  Providence  that  they 


will  be  attended  with  Ail)  farther  A<fvafW 
tages,  until  the  Powers  at  War  with  Us 
(hall  be  difpofed  to  fuch  Terms  of  Accom- 
modation, as  the  Dignity  and  juft  Rights  of 
my  Crown,  the  future  Security  and  com- 
mercial I  nterefts  of  my  SobjeQs,  win  per* 
mit  Me  to  accept. 

**  Gent/fmefioftbtHoiffe  of  Comment, 

*'  When  I  confider  the  ample  Supplies 
which  you  have  granted,  I  cannot  but  la- 
ment the  heavy  Burdens,  which  the  Neceffi- 
ties  of  the  public  Service  have  obliged  you  to 
impofeuponmy  People.  From  this  Confide- 
ration,  I  have  endeavoured,  in  every  In- 
ftance,  to  redrain  my  Demands  within  as 
narrow  Bounds,  as  the  Difficulties,  in  which 
I  found  myfelf  involved,  would  allow. 
From  the  famft  Motive,  my  utmoft  Care 
fhall  be  employed  to  exert  the  moil  exad 
Oeoonomy,  confident  with  the  Safety  of 
my  Kingdoms,  and  the  good  Faith  and  Ho- 
nour of  my  Crown. 

*'  I  return  you  my  particular  Thanks,  for 
the  Proof  which  you  have  given  of  your 
Regard  to  Me  and  to  my  Family,  in  the  am- 
ple Provifion  you  have  made  for  the  Queen  ; 
whofe  Virtues,  and  Affedlion  to  this  Coun- 
try, willf  I  am  confident^  be  found  to  de- 
ferve  it. 

'*  My  Lords,  and  Gentlemen, 

"  I  have  the  fulled  Perfuafion,  that  yoa 
will  continue  to  diffufe  in  your  feveral 
Counties  that  Spirit  of  Concord,  which  you 
have  yourfelves  fo  Aeadily  exerted  in  Par- 
liament, and  you  may  be  aflured,  that  I 
will,  on  my  Part,  return  your  Zeal  and 
Affection  for  my  Perfon  and  Government, 
by  a  condant  Attention  to  whatever  may 
contribute  to  the  Eafe  of  my  Subjedls  ;  and 
that  it  is  my  ardent  Wifh,  to  found  the 
Glories  of  my  Reign  on  the  Union  of  my 
People,  and  on  the  Welfare  and  Profperity 
of  thefe  my  Kingdoms.** 

After  which  the  Parliament  wai  proro- 
gued to  the  1 5th  of  July, 

The  Sea  filh  brought  to  London  by  Lapd- 
carriage  will,  for  the  Future,  be  fold  in  Ho-

But  what  fweet  Moflbm  that  I  which  greett 

mine  eye 
With  tints  of  asure  and  the  Tjnap  dye ! 
How  wanton  Zefbyn  fporting  o*er  it  ftray ! 
But  ah !  th*  inchanted  Howret*s  flown  away  ! 
A  being  animate  he  too  can  boaft. 
For  in  a  butterfly  the  bloflbm's  loft ! 

See  there  another  infed  buzeing  fly, 
VHiich  feeds  with  pleafure  my  aftoni(h*d  eye  ; 
His  jetty  fcales  in  polifli'd  order  plac'd, 
And  with  rich  fcarlet  plumes  his  fides  are 

grac*d. 
That  pink  attra£kive  bids  him  fweetly  reft. 
And  hum  the  paflions  of  his  little  breaft  j 
Haply  hii  abicnt  mate  infpires  his  notes, 
Whilft  his  foft  mufic  in  the  iSther  floats. 
Ye  gentle  Zeflyn  for  a  while  be  flill, 
O  i  ceafe  to  flow  a  while  thou  purling  r  U  ; 
That  I  may  hear  this  minftrel  of  the  giove. 
In  fweeteft  accents  tune  his  fong  of  love. 
Such  are  it's  tender  founds,  that  fcarce  the  ear 
Notea  fo  refin'd,  fo  delicate  can  hear; 
Such  the  conftio£iion  of  it's  curious  mould. 
Hardly  the  eye  the  fabric  can  behold. 

Ah  whence  that  niftling  found !  fay  flow'ry 

bed! 
£ach  rofc,  each  lily  bejfds  it's  wavy  head! 
Aflfnghted  bends !  for  \o  !  a  hoftile  train 
Of  yellow  rovers  hover  o>r  the  plain  ; 
Th*  indoftrious  fpoilcrs  ev*ry  flowV  explore. 
And  add  new  fragrance  to  their  balmy  ftore  ; 
y^ith  equal  ardor  diligently  ftray, 
Then  rapturous  bear  their  honeyed  prise  away. 


There,  in  that  trefoil  ihade,  expanded  lies 

The  late  deceiver  of  my  da;Ezled  eyes  j 

The  enairM'd  wings, fecm  burniih'd  mih  with 

gold, 
Now  cautious  fpread,  and  now  together  fold  : 
Pompous  indeed  !  the  filver  tufts  defcend. 
And  from  its  little  head  like  treflTes  bend* 
Gay  gaudy  fly  go  hover  o'er  that  ftmm. 
And  mark  thy  beauty  in  the  pafling  gleam  j 
So  wilt  thou  emulate  the  fair,  the  gay. 
Who  wafte  at  toilets  the  long  tedious  day  ; 
Yet  all  that  nature,  pomp,  or  beauty  blefs, 
Muft  yield  to  thee  in  elegance  of  drefe. 

But  Zephyr  now  begins  a  rougher  bieeze. 
And  gufls  impetuous  rend  the  quivVing  trees : 
Th*  affirighted  infefts  quick  a  refuge  find. 
Till  Nature's  brow  is  calm  and  huih'd  the 
wind. 

SofV  now  1  what  phantom  ruflies  on  my  view  f 
Rob*d  like  the  rainbow  In  each  varied  hue  ? 
Hide  me  ye  flow'rs  !  'tis  Hyacii^b  the  gay ! 
Trampling  your  fweets  he  haflens  on  this  way. 
In  vain  for  him  luxuriant  naturd  fpreads 
Her  mofly  carpets,  her  embroidered  meads. 
«  Jnfe£ts  and  plants  I    What  odious  hateful 

things! 
"  Sure  trivial  rapture  from  fuch  fources  fpr i  ngs ! 
Sol  too,  eflfulging  through  the  dawning  morn. 
Paints  icenes  thy  radiant  eyes  behold  with 

fcorn. 
Such  antique  pleafures  polifh'd  youths  defpifc. 
More  ftriking  beauties  dwell  in  Harriotts  eyes; 
To  her  he  flies — The  gay  baau  mond:  arc  there. 
Soft  well  drefs*d  youths,  and  giddy  gaudy  £^« 
Forpvf,  O  Hyanntb !  my  want  of  tafte, 
1  fee  no  beauty  in  a  barren  wafte ; 
On  plcafure's  wings  your  moments  rapid  fly,  "^ 
While  God  and  nature  quite  ncglefted  lie. 

But  O  !  my  lovely  D.ipkne  now  appears. 
She  comes  all  fweet  nefs  and  difpclls  my  fears; 
Adieu  ye  flow'rs,  ye  lawns,  thou  purling  rill. 
My  Daphne  comes,  and  now  my  heart  is  ftiU. 
Farewtil  ye  tenants  of  the  turfy  grove. 
Oft  (hall  my  ftcps  amidft  your  dwellings  rove  j 
Delights  like  thefe  my  ravifli'd  foul  refine, 
I  taflc  the  bleffrngs  of  a  hand-divine. 
Here  ufetul,  beautiful,  united  prove 
Tlieir  maker,  God  of  harmony  and  love. 
But  fee  my  Daphne'^  co^n?,  in  green  array'd. 
The  hapjjy  Zephrys  kifs  the  beauteous  maid  j 
Gentle  her  frailcs,  her  eyes  benignly  bright. 
Yet  loft  on  mc  \vere  all  that  ray  of  light. 
Did  not  her  modeft,  her  attra^ive  mien, 
Conlbious  imply  the  graces  dwell  within; 
Benevolence  and  truth  her  fleps  attend. 
And  ev*ry  viitoe  owns  her  for  a  friend.

Having,  in  the  late  German  War,  made  ufe  of  feveral  Tables  of

For    APRIL,     1763.

added  the  preoMrious  AfliiUnce  of  two  Com- 
panies of  Frenchmen,  enhfted  in  their  Ser- 
vice, with  fonfie  Hundreds  of  unarmed  LaC* 
cars  for  the  Ufe  of  the  Engineers  and  Hark 
of  Artillery.     As  a  Compcnfation  for  this 
feeble  Supply  of  Men,    they  favoured  us 
Wit  h  (mnt  very  good  Officers  in  every  Branch 
of  the  Service.    Rear-idmiralComifh  re- 
inforced our  little  Army  with  1  fine  Batta- 
lion of  <5o  Seamen  knd  S70  Rood  Marines, 
fo  that  the  whole  Force  of  the  Land  Ope- 
rations amounted  to  2300  Men,  who,  with, 
the  neceflary  Stores,    were  embarked  on 
board  of  his  Majefly*s  Squadron,  and  two 
India  Ships  employed  as  Tranfports,  with 
an  Adivity  and  Difpatch  that  did  great  Ho- 
nor to  all  concerned  in  thofe  Arrangements. 
The  Preparations  were  begun,  compleated, 
and  flitpped  in  three  Weeks,  through  a  rag- 
ing and  perpetual  Surf>    by  which  fome 
Lives  were  loft. 

As  Major-general  Lawrence  was  of  Opi- 
nion that  the  Settlements  would  be  in  Dan- 
ger if  more  Forces  were  drawn  from  the 
Coaft,  the  two  Battalions  of  the  Compa- 
ny's Troops,  all  the  Cavalry,  6000  Sea- 
poys,  with  the  Part  of  Col.  Monfon's,  and 
the  Highlanders,  then  at  Madrafs,  were 
Itih    for    their  Security.     The  Medway, 
York,  and  Chatham,  that  were  hourly  ex- 
pend, had  Orders  left  them  to  remain  for 
the  Protedidn  of  the  Trade.    We  failed 
with  the  Admirars  Divifion  the  ift  of  Au- 
gnft.    The  Sea-boife,   Capt.  Grant,  was 
previooily  difpatched  through  the  Screights 
of  Malacca  to  the  Entrance  of  the  China 
Sea,  to  flop  all  Veflels  that  might  be  bound 
to  Manilla,  ^r  fent  from  any  of  oor  neigh- 
boaring  Settlements  to  give  the  Spaniards 
Notice  of  the  Defign.    Commodore  Tiddy- 
man,  with  the  firfl  Divifion  of  the  Fleet  and 
Troops  under  Col.  Monfon,  failed  two  Days 
before  us,  that  oar  watering  might  be  more 
fpeedtly  conapleated  at  Malacca,  where  we 
arrived  the  19th  of  Auguft.      We  there 
bought  up  a  large  Quantity  of  Ratuns  to 
piake  Gabions,  a  good  Number  of  which 
was  finiihed  on  board   the  feveral  Ships. 
The  9k7th  we  failed  for  our  fecond  Rendez- 
vous off  the  I  Hand  of  Timon.    The  necef- 
lary  Signals  and  Inftm Aions  were  then  given 
for  landing  on  the  Coaft  of  Luconia. 

On  the  a  3d  of  September  we  anchored  in 
Manilla  Bay,  and  foon  found  that  our  Vifit 
wasunexpetel^  the  Spaniard»  unprepared. 
To  increafe  as  moeh  as  poflibk  tht  vifible 
Coofufian  and  Conftemacion  of  the  £nciny, 
we  determined  to  lofe  no  Time  in  the  At- 
tack o(  the  Port  of  Cavite  that  wa^  at  firft 
intended,  but  proceed  dire^iy  to  the  grand 
QVf&f  judging  tb4t  our  Concjueft  thece 


would  of  Courfe  occafion  and  dtaw  after  it 
the  Fall  of  CavUe.     On  the  Morning  of  tho. 
%4th  we  fent  an  ineffc^ual  Summons  to  the 
Town,  and  with  the  Admiral  and  other 
principal  Officers,  examined  the  Coalt,  in' 
order  to  fix  upon  a  proper  Spot  for  landing 
the  Troops,    A rr tilery,   and  Stores.     We 
found  a  mod  convenient  Place  about  two

Divifions  under  their  Stems ;  the  Left  com-

Col.  Scott,     the  Adjutant  General  \     the 
Right  by  Major  Moore,  the  eldcft  Field  Of-

a  Churth  and  Village  called  Malata  that 
was  oppofite  our  Lett,  the  other  two  Divt-« 
fions,  that  had  been  feparatedonly  toamufe 
and  diftra€k  the  Attention  of  the  Enemy, 
were  ordered  to  join  that  as  foon  as  poffible. 
About  Six  in  the  Evening  we  puAied,  witli 
an  even  Fronr,  for  the  Shore,  under  the  pru- 
dent and  fkilful  Management  of  the  Cap* 
Utns  Parker  of  the  Grafton,  Kempenfeit, 
the  Admiral's  Captain,  and  Brereton  of  the 
Falmouth,   who  had  the  DireAton  of  the 
Boats.    The  Frigates  kept  6p  a  briik  Fire 
to  the  Right  and  Left  of  us,  to  prote^  our 
Flanks,  and  difperfe  the  Enemy,  who  were 
beginning  to  affemble  in  great  Numbers, 
both  Hoile  and  Foot,  to  oppofe  our  Defcent. 
This  Cannonade   had  the   defired  Effed. 
They  retired,  and  left  us  a  clear  Coaft ;  but 
a  violent  Surf  arofe,  many  Boats  were  dafli- 
ed  to  Pieces,  our  Arms  and  Ammunitioa 
much  damaged  \    providentially  no  Livra 
were  loft.     We  formed  upon  the  Beach, 
marched  and  took  Polfcffion  of  the  Malata, 
fixed  our  Out*  pofts,  and  palTed  the  whole 
Night  under  Arms.     The  Spaniards  were 
employed  in  burning  Part  of  their  Suburbs. 

The  25th  we  feizcd  a  Fort  which  the  Spa- 
niards had  abandoned,  named  the  Polve- 
nfta,  that  proved  a  moft  excellent  Place  of 
Arms  for  covering  the  landing  of  our  Stores, 
and  fecuring  our  Communication  with  the 
Squadron.  Col.  Monfon,  who  was  detach-

17th.  The  Governor  fent  out  a  Flag  of

committed  by  the  Savages  lately  mentioned, 
^a^ho  had  murdered  fome  ftragling  Seamen  }

a  Six-pounder  on  our  left  Flan^,  as  a  fur- 
ther Security  for  our  Poft  at  St.  f-igo's 
Church.  As  the  Capture  of  the  G<illcon,

fending  the  Panther  and  Argo  from  the 
Squadron  to  intercept  ber,  which  was  con-

very  generoufly  agreed  to  our  (haring  any 
Prizes  that  might  be  taken  in  (hi*.  Cruize,

dered to  GondoA  him  into  Town  with  a 
PJag  of  Truce.  In  the  mean  Time,  a  large 
Party  of  the  Garrifon,  intermixed  with  In-

Manner  too  Shocking  to  mention.  In  their 
Fury  they  moitiily  wounded  the  other  Gen-> 
tieman  who  had  endeavoured  to  fave  Mr; 
Fryar.  Our  Party  received  their  Onfet  wi|h 
much  Firmnefs  and  Bravery,  and  repulfed 
them  with  Lofs  on  their  Side.  As  it  was 
evident  that  the  Indians  alone  were  gftilty 
of  this  horrid  Piece  of  Barbarity,  our  Sol- 
diers Aiewed  them  no  Mercy.

Comifti*s  Battery  foreight  24.  Pounders,  on 
the  Left  of  St.  Jago's  Church  j  but  the  Vio-

and  the  Abfenceof  two  Ships,  that  had  oii 
board  a  confiderabie  Quantity  of  Fafcines* 
and  many  of  our  working  and  intrenching 
Tools,  put  us  to  fome  Inconveniencies« 
The  Admirai'sCoodnefs  fapplied  thefe  De- 
feds  :  All  the  Smiths  and  Carpenters  in  the 
Fleet  were  employed  in  making  thofe  In- 
Arument^ ;  and,  by  th<*ir  Induftry  and  Dtf<- 
patcb,  we  were  enabled  to  proceed.  'Tha 
Elizabeth  and  Falmouth  perfevered  in  their 
Cannonade  upon  the  Town,  which  were

of  the  Storm  forced  the  South  Sea  CaQle

Place  of  Armi  on  the  Left  of  it,  near  the  / 
Sea.  The  Roaring  of  the  V/ave*  prevented 
the  Enemy  from  hearing  the  Noife  of  our 
"Workmen  in  the  Night.  They  gave  us  no 
Intenuption,  but  feemed  to  truft  entirely  to 
the  Element.  While  the  Governor  (the 
Archbithop)  gave  out,  that  an  An^d  fro^i 
the  Lord  was  gone  forth  to  deftroy  ut,  like 
the  Hoft  of  Senacherib.  On  the  Afternoon 
of  the  ftd,  the  Seamen,  with  wonderful 
Adivity,  brought  up  and  mounted  all  the 
Guns  in  the  Battery,  which  we  maflced. 

3d.  The  Weather  became  moderate.     At 
Daylight  the  Battery  was  opened   againft 
the  Icit  Face  of  the  Baltion  of  St.  Diego, 
towards  the  Saliant  Angle.     One  hundred 
Seamen  were  appointed  to  aflifl  the  Corps 
of  Artillery  in  the  Service.     Our  Cannon, 
by  the  mo{f  excellent  Skill  and  M;irMge- 
tnent  of  Major  Barkrr,   and  the  Officers 
under  him,  were  ferved  with  fuch  Juftnefs, 
Q^icknefs,     and  Dexterity,     that  the   12 
Pieces  on  that  Face  of  the  Baftion  were  fi- 
lenced  in  a  few  Houis,  and  the  Spaniards 
drov  e  from  them.     We  had  but  two  Men 
killed      At  Night  we  began  a  Battery  for 
three  Guns,   on  the  Left  of  our  Place  of 
Arms,  to  filence  thofe  that  were  in  Barbet 
upon  the  Orillon  of  the  Baftion  of  Sr.  An- 
drew, which  anTK>yed  our  Flank,  we  main- 
tained a  briflc  Fire  of  Grape  and  Mufquetry 
all  the  Night,  to  prevent  the  Enemy  from 
repairing  their  Embrazures  and  remounting 
the  Cannon.    The  Mortars  ( now  augment  • 
ed  tofeven)  were  kept  continually  playing 
upon  the  Gorge  of  the  Baftion,  and  the 
contiguous  Defences. 

4th.  About  three  Hours  before  Day,  1000 
of  the  Indians  attacked  the  Cantonment  of 
the  Seamen.  They  were  encouraged  to 
this  Attempt  by  the  inceffant  Rains,  in 
which  they  flattered  themftlves  our  Ftre- 
Arms  would  be  ufelefi.  Their  Approach 
was  favoured  by  a  great  Number  of  thick 
BdAies  that  grew  upon  the  Side  of  a  Rivulet, 
which  they  paflcd  in  the  Night,  and,  by 
kecpmg  clofe,  eluded  the  Vigilance  of  the 
pAtroles,  Upon  the  Alatm,  Col.  Monfon 
and  Capt.  Fletcher,  with  the  Piquets,  were 
difpatched  10  the  AfliiUnce  of  the  Seamen, 
who  very  fenftbly  kept  firm  in  their  PoAs, 
and  were  contented  to  repulfe  them  till 
Day-break,  when  a  freih  Ficquet  of  the 
79th  Revimcnt  appearing  upon  the  Indians 
Right  Flank,  they  fled,  were  purfued  and 
difperffcd  wiih  the  Lofs  of  300  Men.  Htd 
their  Skill  or  Weapom  been  equal  to  their 
Strength  and  Ferocity,  it  might  have  coft 
us  dear.  Although  armtrd  chiefly  with 
Bows,  Arrows,  and  Launces,  they  advan- 
ced up  to  the  very  ^iU/2les  of  oui^Pieces> 


repeated  their  Aflaultt,  and  dieil  like  wi2.f 
Beafls,  gnawing  the  Bayonets.     This    At- 
tack  coft  us  fome  few  Men,  but  we  lott   a 
a  mod  excellent  Sea  Officer,  Capr.  Porter , 
Lieutenant  of  the  Norfolk,    firtcerely    arvd 
juftly  lamently  by  us  fU.    We  bad  fcarcc 
finilhed  this  Affair,  when  another  Body  of 
them,  with  Part  of  the  Spanifli  Garrifon, 
again  attacked  the  Church,  No.  a,  forccH 
the  Seapoys  from  their  Poft  in  it,    ncJkrril 
the  Town,    took  Pofleflfion  of  the   Top, 
from  whence  they  kill^  and  wounded  Se- 
veral of  our  People,  who  were  entirely  ex> 
pcfed   to  all   their  Weapons.       Notwith- 
(landing  this  difadvantageous  Situation,  the 
European  Soldiers  maintained  their  PoA  be- 
hind the  Church  with  great  Firmnef*  and 
Patience,  and  at  laft  diflodged  the  Enem/ 
with  the  Afli fiance  of  fome  Field  Pieces, 
and  the  good  Conduct  of  Major  Fell,  Field 
Officer  of  the  Day,    Capt.  Fletcber,    and 
other  brave  Officers  fent  to  their  Relief. 
Tha  Spaniards  left  70  dead  behind  them. 
In  and  about  the  Church.    On  oar  Side, 
Capt.  Strahan,  of  the  79th  Regiment,  a  ve- 
ry good  Officer,  was  mortally  wounded, 
and  40  private  Men  wounded  or  killed. 
This  was  the  Enemy^s  lad  Effort :    All 
their  Indians,  excepting  1800,  difcouraged 
by  their  Lofles,  returned  home.     Our  work- 
ing  Parties,  and  the  Fire  of  oar  Batteries, 
which  had  been  a  little  interrupted  by  thefe 
Attacks,  recommenced  with  greater  Spirit 
than  ever.     We  found   likewife  the  good 
EffeAs  of  giving  the  Enemy  no  Time  to  re- 
pair their  Embrazures  or  Carriages  in  the 
Night.    They  opened  only  an  inconfiderabte 
Fire  from  three  or  four  Embrasures  in  the 
Curtain,  too  oblique  to  have  much  EflFed : 
Before  Night  thofe  Defences  were  ruined. 

5th.  Major  Baker^s  Fire  was  fo  violent, 
that  the  Breach  appeared  practicable.  Oor 
Cannon  from  the  three  Gan  Battery  filenced 
thofe  of  the  Enemy  on  the  Orillon  of  St. 
Andrew.  We  were  in  Hopes  that  the  Spa- 
niards would  be  fenfible  of  their  Danger, 
and  think  of  giving  up  the  Town.  But 
ttiey  were  obftinate  without  Bravery,  or 
any  cenerous  Refolurion  of  defending  the 
Breach.  In  the  Evening  the  Defign  of 
forming  the  Place  was  communicated  to 
the  principal  Officers  of  each  Department 
only ,  and  the  neccflPary  Preparations  made. 

6th.  At  Four  oXIock  in  the  Morninj;, 
we  filed  oft  from  our  Quarters,  in  fniall  Bo- 
dies, to  give  the  lefs  ^fpicion  ;  and,  hy 
Degrees,  afl*einbied  at  St.  Jago*s  Church,

**!•  WorkJ,  ind  thofe  Placet  where  the  Ene- 
my mishc  be  lodged  or  intrenched.  Our 
Mortars  were  well  apph'ed  for  the  famePur- 
poft.  At  Day-break  we  difcovered  a  lar^e 
Body  of  the  Spaniard*  formed  on  the  Baftlon 
of  St.  Andrew,  which  gave  us  Reafon  to 
imagine  they  had  got  fome  Informarion  of 
our  Defign,  and  intended  to  annoy  us  with 
their  Mufquetry  and  Orape  from  the  re- 
tired Flank  of  that  Baftion,  where  they  had 
Hill  two  Cannon  placed  ;  but  upon  the  Ex- 
ploiion  of  fome  Shells  that  fell  among  th;m, 
they  wcfit  off.  We  took  immediate  Ad- 
vantage of  this,  and  by  the  Signal  of  a  ge- 
neral Difcharge  of  our  Artillery  and  Mor- 
tars, rulhed  on  to  the  Aflault,  undercover 
of  a  thick  Simoak  that  blew  directly  upon 
the  Town.  Sixty  Volunteers  of  different 
Corps,  under  Lieut.  Ruffel  of  the  79th,  led 
the  Way,  fupported  by  the  Grenadiers  of 
that  Regiment.  The  Engineers,  with  the 
Pioneers,  and  other  Workmen,  to  clear 
and  enlarge  the  Bteach,  and  make  Lodg* 
xnents,  in  Cafe  the  Enemy  (hould  have 
been  too  ftrongly  intrenched  in  the  Gorge 
of  the  Badion,  followed :  Col.  Moofon, 
and  Major  More  were  at  the  Head  of  two 
grand  DiviBons  of  the»79th  :  The  Battalion 
of  Seamen  advanced  next :  TheCompany*8 
Troops  ctofed  the  Rear.  They  all  mounted  . 
the  Breach  with  amazing  Spirit  and  Rapi  • 
dity.  The  few  Spaniards  upon  the  Baflion 
difperfed  fo  foddenly,  that  it  was  thought 
they  depended  upon  their  Mines.  Capr. 
Stevenfbn  had  Ordeni  to  make  a  flri£l  Search 
to  difcover  them ;  but  our  Precautions  were 
aeedleft.  We  met  with  little  Refiftance, 
except  at  the  Royal  Gate,  and  from  the 
Galleries  of  the  Heufes  that  furround  the 
Grand  Square.  In  the  Guard  houfe  ov«r 
the  Royal  Gate,  100  of  th«  Spaniards  and 
Indiani,  who  would  not  furrender,  were 
pat  to  the  Sword.  Three  Hundred  more, 
according  to  the  £nemy*s  Account,  were 
drowned  in  attempting  to  efcape  over  the 
River,  MrhSch  was  very  deep  and  rapid. 
The  Governor  and  principal  OfBcers  retired 
to  the  Citadel,  and  w^re  glad  to  furrender 
asPrifonersatDifcrelion,  asthatPliice  wis 
in  no  good  Pofture  of  Defence.  Capt.  Du- 
pont  of  the  79th,  with  100  Men,  tookPof- 
icifion  of  it.  The  Marquis  of  Villa  Madiana, 
with  the  red  of  the  Spanish  Officers,  were 
admitted  as  Prifoners  *si  War  on  their  Pa- 
roles of  Honour  \  and  to  conciliate  the  Af-' 
fedioBS  of  the  Natives,  all  the  Indians  who 
fell  into  our  Hands  weredifmiffed  in  Safety. 
Cor  Joy  upon  this  fortunate  Event,  was 
greatly  clouded  by  the  Lofs  of  M<ijor  More, 
who  was  transfixed  with  an  Anow  near  the 
KoyalOate^  ftod  died  icnmediatelyi  wiiver- 


fally  lamented  for  his  good  Qualities.  Capt.* 
Sleigh  of  the  Grenadiers,  and  foine  other 
Officers  were  wounded.  We  had  about  30 
private  Men  killed  or  wounded.  In  Confe* 
quence  of  the  Terms  diAated  (o  the  Spa- 
niards, the  Port  of  Caviteand  Citadel,  with 
feveral  large  Ships,  and  a  vaft  Quantity  of 
Warlike  and  Naval  Stores,  were  furrender- 
cd  to  us.  Cajft.  Champion,  with  100  Ma-^ 
rines  and  as  many  Seapoys,  embarked  on 
board  the  Seahorfe  to  take  PofleHion  of  it. 
The  Spaniih  Garrifon  of  300  Men,  on  the 
Approach  of  our  People,  mutinied  a  gain  ft 
their  Officers,  plundered  fome  Houfes,  and 
Went  off  into  the  Country  with  their  Arms. 

As  a  fmail  Ackuowled'^ment  of  the  great 
Services  which  the  whole  Army  had  receiv. 
ed  from  Capt.  Kempenfelt,  who  was  the 
Admirai*s  Captain,  I  beiticed  he  would  aft 
at  Cayite  with  a  Commiiiion  as  Governor 
for  his  Ma}efty,  being  well  aflured  that  no 
one  couM  difcharge  that  Truft  with  more 
Conduft  and  Abilities.

#/  my  Crown  have  derived  frojm  thit  falu- 
Ury  Meafore.  The  Powers  at  War  with 
my  good  Brother  the  King  of  Pruffia  have 
Dcen  induced  to  agree  to  fuch  Terms  of  Ac- 
comiao^tioD,  as  that  great  Prince  has  ap« 
proved,  and  the  Succefs,  which  has^ttend- 
ed  my  Negociation,  has'  nfpelTarily  and  im- 
mediately diffured  the  BiefBngs  of  Peace 
Uirough  vitry  Part  of  Europe. 

I  acquainted  you  with  njy  firm  Refolu- 
tioo  to  form  my  Government  on  a  Plan  of 
Urtd  Oeoonomy.    The  ReduAions  necefla-

maintained  in  thefe  Kingdoms  will  be  infe* 
rior  in  Number  to  that  ufually  Icept  up  in  for-

Force  propofed^  with  the  Eftabhfhment  of  the 
National  Militia,  (whofe  Services  I  have  ex- 
perienced, and  cannot  too  much  commend,) 
^ill  prove  a  fufficient  Security  for  the  future. 
Gentlemtn  of  tbt  Hwfe  of  Comment, 
I  have  feeo,  with  the  higheft  Concern, 
Che  greateft  Anticipations  of  the  Revenue, 
apd  the  heavy  Debts  unprovided  for  during 
the  lat^  War,  which  have  reduced  you  to 
the  unhappy  Neceflity  of  impofing  further 
«urthens  upon  my  People.    Under  thefe 
Circumitances,   it  is  my  earneft  WiHi  to 
contribute  by  every  Means  to  their  Relief. 
The  utnioft  Frugality  fliaU  be  obferved  in 
t!he  Difpofition  of  the  Supplies  which  you 


have  granted ;  and  when  the  Aoeonnti  of 
the  Money  arifmg  from  the  Sale  of  (vtd$ 
Prirei,  as  are  veiled  in  the  Crown,  (hall  be

About  half  an  Hour  after  Nine  his  Trial 
came  on>  before  the  Right  Hon.  Lord  Manf-

€4  Attorney,  and  nttcnng  the  fame  know- 
ing it  to  be  forged,  in  the  Name  of  A. 
Pearctf,  Widow  of  H.  Pearce,  Efq;  of  Be-

Clerks  of  the  South-  Sea  Houfe,  wan  (he  firft

the  filling  up  the  transfer,  faw  Rice  execute 
k,  and  (wore  that  he  wifnefled  the  fame. 
Mr,  Ball,  the  Suocrvifor,  proved  the  Letter 
of  Attorney  pafTmg  the  Committee.  Mr. 
Montague,  the  Deputy- accomptant,  ac- 
quainted the  Court  of  the  Stock  being  re- 
placed to  Mrs.  Pearce,  after  the  a  hove  frau- 
dulent transfer.  Mrs.  Pearce  was  then  call-

ney, denied  it  being  her  Hand -writing, 
and  depofrd  Oie  never  gave  him  any  fuch 
Power.  No  other  Witnefs  was  then  called 
on  Behalf  of  the  ProTecution.  The  Court 
then  acquainted  Mr.  Rice  it  was  his  Time

Cnurt  acquainted  him,  where  Proofs  were 
pofitive,  CharaOer  would  have  little  Weij^ht,

pleaded  for  Mercy,  and  entreated  his  Lord- 
fhip  to  ufe  his  Endeavours  with  his  Majcfly 
in  his  Behalf,  and  urged  in  his  Favour,  that 
he  had  been  oflfered  ProteOion  at  Cambray 
if  he  would  have  changed  his  Rcli«[ion. 
The  Jury,  without  any  Hcfitation,  brought 
him  in  guilty,  and  Mr.  Akerman  was  or- 
dered to  take  him  into  his  Cuftody.  He 
was  drefled  in  a  Suit  of  light  Grey,  trim-

Heads.

3dly,  Mr.  Wilkes's  Privilege  as  a  Mem- 
ber of  Parliament. 

In  regard  to  the  firft,  hi«  Lcrdfhip  rc- 
maiked  that  he  would  conHder  a  Secretary 
of  State's  Warrant,  through  the  whole  Af- 
fair, as  nothing  fuperior  to  the  Warrant  of 
a  common  Jufticc  of  the  Peace,  and  that 
no  Magiftrate  had  in  Reality  a  Right  fx  of- 
ficio to  apprehend  any  Pcrfon,  without 
ft-iting  the  particular  Crime  of  which  he  was 
accufcd  ;  Hut  at  the  fame  Time  he  obfcrved, 
there  were  many  Precedents  wheric  a  nice 
Comhinarion  of  Ciri-umftanccs  gave  fo  ftrong 
a  Suipicion  of  Fafts,  that  tho'  the  Magif- 
trate  could  not  he  jufltfitd  ex  officio,  he 
^•as  neveithclcfs  fupportcd  in  the  Commit- 
ment, even  without  receiving  any  i;arricu- 
lar  Information  for  the  Foundation  cf  hit 
Charge.  The  Word  Ch  a  k  c  e  liis  Lordihip 
took  Notice  was  in  general  much  mifunder- 
ftood,  and  did  not  mean  the  .Accufa^ion 
brought  againft  any  Perfon  taken  up,  hut 
his  Commitment  by  the  Magiftratc  before 
vrhom  he  might  he  bi ought.  Upon  the 
whole  of  this  Point,  according  to  the  cuf- 
romary  Rule,  which  had  been  for  a  Series 
of  Vears  obftr'vtd  by  the  Sajes  of  the  Law, 
even  in  the  Reign  of  Charles  the  Second, 
when  this  Matter  was  fo  frequently  conteft-

quired a  SpccificaMt^n  of  the  partici;l.»r  Paf. 
Cages  of  the  45th  North  Britain ^  which  were 
deemed  a  Libel,  his  Lordfhip  took  Notice, 
that  the  Infertion  of  thefc  Paflageb,  fo  far 
as  they  relited  to  the  Point  in  C^<  ftion,  was 
not  at  all  necertary  ;  for  even  fiippofini?  the 
Whole  of  the  4<;th  Number  of  the  North 
Brit'>ii  had  hicn  inferred  m  the  Body  of  jhc 
Warran*.  ytt  it  by  no  Means  came  under

With  refpeA  to  the  third  and  laft  Pointx  ^ 
How  far  Mr.  Wilkes  had  a  Right  to  pfeil  ^ 
his  Privilege  as  a  Member  of  Parliament  ^ 
my  Lord  Chief  Juftice  remarked,  that  then  ^

and  the  Peace.  The  Peace,  as  it  is  writrw 
in  the  Inflitutes  of  the  Law,  his  Lordfhip 
explained  to  fignify  a  Breach  of  the  Peace  j 
he  remarked  than  when  the  feven  Biihopi 
were  fcnt  to  the  Tower,  the  Plea  wluch 
was  ufed  when  the  Spiritual  Lords  coo- 
tended  for  their  Privilege,  was  that  they  en- 
deavoured to  difturb  the  Peace.  Tbu,  at 
that  arbitrary  Time,  was  judged  foffideot 
to  forfeit  their  Privilege,  but  hit  Lordihip 
remarked,  that  out  of  the  four  Judges  then 
upon  the  Bench,  there  was  but  one  honeft 
Man  ;  that  was  Powel,  and  he  dcdiiwA 
giving  any  Opinion.  Flis  Lord fliip  then ai- 
fwered,  that  the  Privilege  of  ParliamcsK 
(hould  be  held  facred  and  inviolable;  and 
as  there  were  but  three  particular  Cafb ia 
which  that  Privilege  was  forfeited,  it  ooly 
remained  to  examine  how  far  Mr.WIIlKS*i 
was  endangered.  Mr.  Wilkca  ftood  iccaf- 
ed  of  writing  a  Libel ;  a  Libel,  in  tbe  Scnfe 
of  the  Law,  was  m  high  Mifdefncmor,  but 
did  not  come  within  tlicDefcriptionof  Tiea* 
fon,  Felony,  or  Breach  of  the  Peace;  st 
moft  it  had  but  a  Tendency  to  diftorb  tbc 
Peace,  and  confiquently  could  notbefof- 
ficient  to  deftioy  the  Privilege  of  a  Member 
of  Parliament. 

Thus  this  Point  of  Privilege  was  deter- 
mined, and  .Vr.  Wilkes  immediately  dif- 
charged,  throu;»hthenniverfal  Acrlimatioos 
of  an  incredible  Number  of  Spe£(aton,  lU 
impatient  ro  know  the  Refult  of  fo  impor- 
tant a  Qucftion.

Poet-Laureat, 

COmmoo  births,  like  common  things,

Time  hat  fprcads,  or  waves  his  wings, 

The  phantom  fwells,  the  phantom's  gone ! 
Bom  for  millions  monarch  rife 

Heirs  of  infamy,  or  fame. 
When  the  virtuous,  brave,  or  wife 
Demand  our  praife,  with  loud  acclaim 
Wc  twine  the  fieftive  vtrreath,    the  ihrines

^Tls-not  our  king*-*  alone,  *tis  Britain  i  natal

Bright  examples  placM  on  high 

Shine  with  more  diftingoiih*d  blaxe ; 
Thither  nations  turn  their  eye. 

And  gr^w  virtuous  as  they  gaze. 
Thought lc(s  eafe  and  fportive  leifure, 

D«ell  in  Iif(e*s  contracted  fphere, 
Pohlic  js  the  monarch's  plealure.

If  TfMf  fmilet,  th*  obfervant  world  is  gay, 
If  Titut  frowns,  tr  fighs,  we  figh  and  lofe  a

Around  thdr  couch,  around  their  board 

A  thou5ind  ears  attentive  wait,

The  (malleft  whifpers  of  the  grcat« 
Happy  thdfe  whom  truth  fincere 

And  ooofcions  virtue  join  to  guide !

By  onr  laft  Letters  from  the  Hague,  June 
17,  we  learn,  that  the  King  o(  Pniflia  ar- 
rived at  Wefel  the  8ch  Inftanc ;  at  hi«  En* 
trance  into  the  Town  We  was  complimented 
by  the  Magiftratea,  who  were  aflembled  to- 
gether for  that  Purpofe.  and  received  by  the

joyful  Acclamations.     The   next  Day   his 
Mjjellx,  attended  by  the  Commandant  of 
the  Town,     infpeAed  the  Fortifications,

bft  Week  from  one  of  the  Provinces  of 
Denmark,  of  the  Decreafe  of  the  Mortality 
amongft  their  Cattle,  gave  us  Reafon  to 
hope,  that  the  Diftemper  wak  in  general 


abated  ;  but  the  Mail  from  Denmark  thit 
Week  is  full  of  melancholy  Accounts  from 
fcveral  Places ;  and  that  it  rages  with  fo 
great  Violence  in  many  of  the  Provinces, 
that  moft  of  the  Farmers  and  Peafants  have 
loft  their  whole  Stock,  by  which  Meant 
they  are  reduced  to  the  greateft  Diftrefs.

A  folemn  Thankfgiving  was  obferved  at

S  I  filled  the  Bali  and  Part  of  the 
Tube  with  Mei-cury ;  and  keeping 
it  with  a  Fnbnnkeit^z  Thermometer, 
in  Water  which  was  frequently  ftir- 
M9  it  was  brought  exa&ly  to  the 
Heat  of  CO  Degrees;  and  the  Place 
where  tne  Mercury  flood  in  the 
Tube,  which  was  about  6i  Inches 
lAovc  the  Bally  was  carefully  mark- 
M.  1  then  ndfed  the  Mercury ,  by 
Heat,  to  the  Top  of  the  Tube,  and 
ieaica  the  Tube  hermetically;  and 
when  the  Mercury  was  brought  to 
Ae  fiune  Degree  of  Heat  as  before, 
ic'ilood  in  the  Tube  |  j^  of  an  Inch 
higher  than  the  Mark. 

The  fame  Ball,  and  Pj^  of  the 
t*Dbe  being  filled  with  Water  ex- 
hanfted  of  Air,  inftead  of  the  Mer- 
cnry ;  and  the  Place  where  the  Wa-

greater  Weight,  I  took  a  glafs  Ball 
of  about  an  inch  and  ^  ^  in  Diame- 
ter, which  was  joined  to  a  cylindri- 
cal Tube  of  4   Inches  and   *^  in 

Length,  and  in  Diameter  about  t '7 
of  an  Inch ;  and  by  weighing  the 
Quantity  of  Mercury  that  exaftly 
filled  the  Ball,  and  alfo  the  Quan- 
tity that  filled  the  whole  Length  of 
the  Tube  ;  I  found  that  the  Mercu- 
ry in  *^3  of  an  Inch  of  the  Tube, 
was  the  1 00000th  Part  of  that  con- 
tained in  the  Ball;  and  with  the 
Edge  of  a  File,  I  divided  the  Tube 
accordingly. 

This  being  done,  I  filled  the  Ball 
and  Part  of  the  Tube  with  Water 
cxhauttcd  of  Air;  ai\d  left  the  Tube 
open,  that  the  Ball,  whether  in  ra- 
refied or  condenfed  Air,  might  al- 
ways be  equally  prefTed  within  and 
without,  and  therefore  not  altered 
in  its  Dimenfions.  Now  by  plac-. 
log  this  Ball  and  Tube  under  the 
Receiver  of  an  Air-pump,  I  could 
fee  the  Degree  of  Expannon  of  the 
Water,  anlwering  to  any  Degree  of 
Rarefa^on  of  the  Air  \  and  by  put- 
ting it  into  a  glafs  Receiver  of  a 
condenfing  Engine,  I  could  fee  the 
Degree  of  Compreffion  of  the  Wa- 
ter, anfvvering  to  any  Degree  of 
Condenfation  of  the  Air.  But  great 
Care  mull  be  taken  in  making  chefe 
Experiments,  that  the  Heat  of  the 
glafs  Ball  be  not  altered,  either  by 
tlie  coming  on  of  Moifture,  or  its 
going  off  by  Evaporation;    which 


may  eafily  be  prevented  by  keeping 
the  Ball  under  Water,  or  by  u/in? 
Oil  only,  ifl  working  the  Pnmp  ana 
Cpndenfer. 

In  this  Manner,  I  have  found  by 
repeated  Trials,  when  the  Heat  of 
the  Air  has  be^n  ahont  ^o  Degrees^ 
and  the  Mercury  at  a  iDean  llcigbt 
in  the  Barometer,  that  the  Water 
will  expand  and  rife  in  the  Tube, 
by  removing  the  Weight  of  the  At- 
mofphere,  4  Divifions  and  ^u  I  ^^ 
one  Part  in  21740 ;  and  will  be  as 
much  conpreffed  under  the  Weight 
of  an  additional  Atmofphere.  There- 
fore the  Compreffion  of  Water  by 
twice  the  Weight  of  the  Atmofphere^ 
is  one  Part  in  10870  of  its  whole 
?ulk.* 

The  famous  Florentine  Experiment^ 
which  fo  many  philofophical  Wri- 
ters have  mentioned  as  a  Proof  of 
the  Incompreffibility  of  Water,  will 
not,  when  carefully  confidered,  ap* 
pear  fufiicient  for  that  Purpofe :  For 
m  forcing  any  Part  of  the  Wsuer 
containecT  in  a  hollow  Globe  of 
Gold  through  its  Pores  by  PreifltuCt 
the  Figure  of  the  Gold  mufi  be  al- 
tered ;  and  confeauently,  the  inter- 
nal Space  containing  the  Water, 
diminifhed ;  but  it  was  impoffible 
for  the  Gentlemen  of  the  Academy 
del  Cimenio  to  determine,  that  the 
Water  which  was  forced  into  the 
Pores  and  through  the  Gold,  was 
exadly  equal  to  the  Diminution  of 
the  internal  Space  by  the  PreiTure. 


*  If  the  Compreffibility  of  the  Water  was  owing  to  any  Air  that  it  might  ftUl  be  fop- 
pofed  tocuntain,  it  is  evidtnc  that  mor*  Air  muft  niake  it  m^re  cwiprtjfibUi  1  therefoie  kl 
into  Che  BaJl  a  Bubble  of  Air  that  menfured  ivear  1  ;j  of  an  Inch  in  Diameter,  which  tha 
Water  abforbed  in  about  four  Days  \  but  I  'ound  upon  Trial  that  the  Water  was  not  mora 
comprefled,  by  twice  the  Weight  of  the  Atinofpiieie,  than  bctore. 
.  The  ComprelTion  of  the  Glafs  in  this  Exprrimert,  by  the  equal  and  contrary  Foroei 
ai^tnf;  within  and  without  the  Ball,  is  not  fenfible:  For  the  Compreffion  of  Water  ia 
two  Balls,  nppears  to  be  exa^ly  the  fame,  when  the  Glafs  of  one  is  mo:e  than  twice  tb« 
Thicknefs  of  the  Glafs  of  the  other.  And  the  Weight  of  an  Atmofphere,  which  I  found 
would  compiefit  Mercury  in  one  of  thefe  Balls  but  ^  Part  of  a  Divifion  of  the  Tube,  com*

demands  of  Denmark,  that  Ships  belonging

been  formerly  oi«e  of  the  Hans  Town  which 
enjoyed  this  Franchife ,  but  the  Danift)  Mi-

fome  Hans  Towns,  who  pay  the  Toll  a- 
bovementioned  ;  and  they  think  that  their 
granting  fuch  an  Exemption  to  Colberg^

Vtcnna,  July  9. 

THE  Oazettc  of  this  City,  dated  this 
Day,  givts  the  following  Particulars 
of  the  t>ifaOer  that  hai  lately  happened  at 
Comorra  in  Hongary. 

«'  The  2ith  of  Tunc  at  Five  In  the  Morn- 
ing a  Shock  of  an  fl;trrhquake  was  felt  there. 
Many  of  the  Inhabitants  ^were  in  the 
Churches,  and  others  in  the  Markets,  hut 
Che  ureatcft  Part  were  yet  a  fleep.  The 
Alarm  was  fonn  (general :  In  this  Calamity 
we  conftder  it  as  a  piovidential  Favour  that 
this  fir(t  Shock  did  no  Damage,  and  was 
a  Warning  for  the  People  tofavethemfclves 
by  Fl>«:hr. 

•♦  At  »3  Minutes  paft  Five  there  was  a 
fecond  Shock,  much  more  violent  than  the 
Fi'ft.  which  laf^cd  a*  Minute  and  a  half. 
T*.;  Churches,  theMonafteics,  other  pub- 
lic Buildinfi^s,  and  almofl  all  the  private 
Houf's,  were  cracked.  The  Infide  of  the 
Jtfiits  Church  was  entirely  ruined;  the 
Stct-ple  tumbled  down,  and  their  Houfe 
Was  alfo  greatly  damaged. 

<*  The  Church  and  Convent  of  the  Re- 
collets  fuffrred  (till  more :  All  the  Roofs 
fell  in  and  niany  Perfons  then  at  Mafs  were 
killed.  The  Tower  of  the  Town-hall  aWo 
fell  down,  and  many  People  were  buried  in 
the  Ruins. 

<'  We  do  not  know  how  many  have  pe« 
riftied  from  the  iSth  of  June  to  the  4th  In 
(lant.  They  have  been  able  to  dig  out  of 
the  Rubbilh  only  54.  oi  the  Dead,  and  the 
Number  of  Wounded  may  amount  to  200, 
fome  of  whom  are  dar>g&rouily  bruifcd. 

'*  Above  two-thirds  of  the  Inhabitants 
have  fled  into  tlie  FieIHi»,  or  taken  Refuge 
in  Boats  J  others  have  built  Huts  in  the 
Gardens,  and  divine  Service  is  perio'med 
in  Booths  or  ShccU. 

*«  In  this  terrible  Difafter  the  Inhabitants 
were  deftitutc  ot  Food  fevcral  D.iys,  till  at 
length  rlicy  received  Hrcjd  Irom  the  Neigh- 
bouring Communities 

*•  The  Eaitli  was  nnt  ytt  at  reft  the  4th 
Ir.rtant,  and  tixy  reckoned  to  that  Time 
ahove  ninety  Shocks,  two  of  which  were 
a  1  molt  equal  to  the  Second,  which  was  the 
nioft  violent  and  longeft. 

•*  Advices  received  Yefterday  from  Hun- 
gary import,  that  fincc  the  4th  they  have 


had  at  Com'^rra  five  or  fix  new  Shucldp 
but  not  connderable."

SIR, 


Dettingeni  in  St.  Elisuihttbi  Jamaica^  June  i,  I763 


According  to  my  Promife,  I 
nowf  fend  you  a  Drawing  of 
the  Manatee,  10  frequently.  Teen 
in  our  BlacA  Ri*verf  and  its  large 
Branches,  and  can  only  fay,  in  Fa- 
vour of  the  Drawing,  that  feveral 
Gentlemen,  prefent  when  I  took  the 
Sketch,  allowed  it  to  be  a  very  (Irik- 

ing  Likenefs. From  the  Nofe  to 

Che  Extremity  of  the  Tail  it  meafur- 
ed  ten  Feet,  and  Four  over  where 
broadeft,  and  its  Skin  is  quite  full 
and  fmooth,  without  one  Wrinkle 
from  Head  to  Tail. In  Co- 
lour, it  is  mod  like  to  a  Piece  of 
old  Sheet>lcad,  of  any  thing  I  can 
compare  it  to,  a  little  darker  to- 
wards the  back,  and  lighter  under 

the  Belly. It  has  a  very  lively, 

Anal],  black  Eye  no  bigger  than  a 
pigeon's  Eye,  and  its  Ears  are  juft 
SL  Pore,  (a,)  without  any  Concavity 
on  the  Oi:t-/ide,  and  yet  they  are 
faid  to  be  very  quick  of  hearing, 
and  mud  be  approached  with  the 
otmofl  Silence,  when  they  are  to  be 
Siruck,  —  Their  NoHrih  have  each 


a  fetnicirculcr  Valve,  that  rifes  from 
the  lower  Part  of  the  Noftril,  as  it 
were,  withaSprine,  andfoexaflly 
(huts  it  after  Refpiration,  that  not 
the  lead  Water,  cfff.  can  get  in: 
The  fame  Kind  of  Valves  I  obfcrve 
likewife  in  the  Alegator ;  a  very  juft 
Cut  of  which  1  have  in  .^^'s  Collec- 
tion, —They  have  thick  flabby  Lips, 
more  like  a  large  MadilF  than  a 
Cow,  and  the  upper  Lip  is  parted, 
not  unlike  a  Rabbit's  upper  Lip, 
"and  there  is  no  Hair  nor  Whilkers 
about  the  Mouth,  and  but  a  few 
draggling  bridle-lijce  Hairs,  all  o- 
ver  the  whole  Body. 

The  Fins,  or  Arms,  are  very 
fmall,  in  Proportion  to  its  Body, 
and  fccm  very  weakly;  they  aie 
about  18  Inches  long,  and,  at  the 
Extremity,  have  horny  Subftanccs, 
not  unlike  a  Man's  Nails;  and  un- 
der each  Fin,  as  it  were  in  r'^.e  Arm- 
pit, there  is  a  fmall  Bread-like  Pro- 
tuberance, with  a  Teat,  b,  of  the 
Size  of  a  Mare's  Teat,  out  of  which

I  had  but  little  Time  to  make  Ob.

men,  or  Butchers,  were  in  fuch  a 
Hurry  to  cut  it  up,  and  difpofe  of

the  Contents  of  the  Stomach,  it  is 
evident  that  it  fed  upoii  Vegetables, 
and,  for  what  I  know,  chews  the 
Cud  ;  and  in  Regard  to  theFlefli  or 
Meat,  it  looked  very  fine  indeed, 
but  had  much  more  the  Look  of 
Pork  than  Beef.  A  little  Salt  pre- 
ferves  it,  and  when  it  is  cut  into 
Straps  (after  the  S/>afti//?'WsLy,)  rub-

bout  two  or  three  Days  in  the  Sun, 
it  is  excellent ;  and  far  exceed  Tur-

pears to  be  too  lufcious  and  fat  to  be

iced  about  the  Manatee^  one  in  par- 
ticular, in  regard  to  two  fmall  Bones 
that  they  cut  from  behind  the  Ears, 
the  Fifhermen  would  fain  have  per- 
fjiaded  me  out  of  two  Piiloles  for 
them,  for  they  affirmed,  that  having 
them  (the  Bones)  any  where  about 
you,  next  to  your  Skin,  they  would 
infallibly  prcfervc  you  from  all 
Kinds  of  Accidents,  I'uch  as  Ship-

of  them  here  is,  to  cut  the.n  i:)to

Where  fpifits  of  the  juft  are  crovn'd  j 

Where  never-failing  grandeur  reigns 
And  circling  joys  abound  ! 

But  hold  —  nor  with  prefuming  flight 
Too  near  attempt  to  pry. 

Thou  can' ft  not  yet  endure  the  light 
That  Aames  amid  the  iky. 
On  gently- waving  wing  defcend. 
Or  rtick*ring  in  mid  air  depend. 
Nor  ceafe  at  didance  to  admire 
And  roving  praife  th^  almighty  fire. 

On  Sio/i**  hill  the  fwclling  chords, 
Aiid  praifeful    hymns    become  the  Lord  of 
Lords  J 
In  all  the  glittering  lift  of  fame 
With  his,'what  king's  or  laurel'd  hero*s  name. 

With  him,  what  god  fhall  dare  contend  ? 
Like  Dagoft,  aU  ye  god«  bet'ore  him  bend. 

Among  the  nations  of  mankind 
To  fceptrc-bearing  monarchs  are  afTign'd 

Authority  and  fuv^reign  fway, 
The  fubjc^  tribes  hear,  tremble,  and  obey  j 
To  him,  thefe  potentates  below. 
Such  fear  and  heedful  homage  owe  ; 
The  reins  of  their  prr;ud  hearts  he  guides, 
No  veiling  cloud  of  honor  hides 
Their  deep  and  feaet  cuunfels  3  — — —  his  broad 
eye, 
.  More  piercing^ than  the*foIar  rays. 
All  fcenes  of  iiuman  life  furvcys. 
His  eye  diftingujihes  the  good, 
And  makes  enquiry  into  blood,  » 

Rapine,  and  heathen  rage,  and  cruelty. 
As  many  waters  hfing  in  a  mound 
Break  o'er  the  beach  with  heart-difmaying 
found. 
Such,  or  mt/rc  dreadful  was  the  voice 
,    When  gr^at  yekovab  fpoke  j 
His  voice  the  wildernefs  of  Cadet  ihook, 
Aud  LehanoK'i  tall  cedars  broke  i     ' 


Ten  thoufand  thunders  playing  all  around, 

Deform*d  the  beauty  of  the  fkies. 

As  rumbling  thro*  the  clear  profound 

The  forky  vengeance  growlM. 

O  fay,  ye  heav'ns,  amid  the  extrofive  fire, 

O  earth,  bow  terrible  the  Almighty's  h«  ? 

Beneath  his  flaming  chariot  rowPd, 
Vapour,    and  gathering  cloud,    and  curling 

fmoke. 
The  moutains  trembling  to  their  inmoft  baie 
Bow  down  before  bis  awful  face  ; 
Backward  the  ilreams  are  feen  to  turn, 

1  he  rivers  to  their  fountain urn, 

The  grccn-virav*d  ocean  with  amazement  roars 
Thro'  all  his  deeps,  confounding  all  hi|  ihores. 

But  you,  O  houfe  of  JfrAei^  tnift 
In  him,  all-gracious,  merciful,  and  juf^, 
Whofe  out-ftrecfa'd  arm  repels  invading  foes. 
And  heals  with  heav'nly  balm  affiidUng  woes. 
Whether  the  raging  fiar  on  high 
Darts  thro*  the  glowing,  fickly  fky, 
Contagions  beams,  and  fcorching  breath. 
Fraught  with  the  violence  of  death. 
And  in  the  field,  and  at  the  ftall, 
The  groaning  ox  and  heifer  fall ; 
Whether  dire  earthquakes  heaving  up  the 
ground. 
Strive  to  difcbfe  the  hid  profound. 
And  threaten  defoiatlon  all  around  ; 
Ox  if  inclement  months  reft  rain

And  mildnefs  of  aethereal  dews 
To  the  faint,  tfairfly  fields  refuffe; 
Altho*  the  fig-tree,  void  of  bbflfoms,  fjils 
To  promife  fweetnefs  to  the  fighing  vales  ; 
Our  hills  deny  the  ne^hur  of  the  vine. 
And  oil  to  chear  the  human  face  divine  j 
Still  fhall  my  foul  remember  to  adore

FOREIGN      AFFAIRS.      ' 


ConJIennnople,  Aug*  17* 

WE  learn  by  an  Exprm,  that  in  the 
Ni^hc  between  the  5th  and  6th  In- 
ftant,  there  happened  a  moft  dreadful  Fire 
in  the  opulent  City  of  Smyrna,  tt  began  in 
an  Apothecary*s  Houfe,  in  the  Franks  O^ar- 
tefy  and  h^*  deflroyed  about  400  Hcufct, 
amongd  which  .are  the  Dutch  Church,  and 
iht  Hotel  belonging  to  the  Conful';  alfo  fe- 
veral  vaft  Magazines  of  Coffee,  Cotton,  and 
other  Merchandize.  There  are,  however, 
but  very  few  lives  loil,  as  many  People  fled 
for  Shelter  on  board  the  Ships.  There  have 
been  likewife  feme  Fires  in  tliis  Metropolis, 
^hich,  from  various  Circumftanoes,  appear 
to  have  been  the  Work  of  Incendiaries,  and 
fitat  Pains  are  taken  to  difcover  them. 
The  Heat  of  the  Weather  is  f^reater  than 
taM  been  ever  known,  infomuch  that  fomc 
Perfons  have  been  (mothered  upon  the 
Road  \  notwithAanding  which  the  City  is 
Airprizingly  healthy. 

Parii,  Sept.  16.  The  Parliament  have 
•rdered  a  Pafloral  Letter  of  the  Biftiop  of 
Langres,  in  which  he  has  thought  At  to  vin*- 
dicate  the  Jefuits,  to  be  burnt  by  the  Hands 
of  the  comnton  Hangman. 

Co/iftantinopU,  Seft.  X.  The  late  News 
from  Sipyrna  has  alarmed  ui.i^ry  luuch^ 
About  ten  Days  ago  the  AmhafTadors  and 
Mlnillefs  here  received  from  thence  tbe  Ao* 
Qount  of  a  very  extend ve  and  devouring 
Fire»  which,  by  fome  fatal  Accident,  broke 
out  on  the  6th  of  lad  Month,  at  Midnight, 
and  lafting«6  Hours,  involved  in  its  Pro- 
greff  the  whole  Quarter  of  the  City*  called 
the  Frank  Quarter,  inhabited  entirely  by 
tlie  different  FaAories  of  the  feveral  foreign 
Nations  trading  there,  particularly,  the 
Engliihi  French.  Dutch,  Venetian,  Impe- 
rial, Swcdifti,  Danifh,  and  Ragufean.  By 
the  Eoglifh  ConfuPs  Aicount,  not  a  Mer 
chant*s,  nor  a  Conful's  Hoofe  is  Ictt  (land- 
ing excepc  his  own,  and  that  noc  entire^ 
nor  without  fuffering  great  Damage.  Even 
their  Magazines,  the  Repeficoriei  of  all 
their  various.  Merchandife  (which  had  hi- 
therto  betn  looked  upon  as  Fire  Proof) 
burft,  through  the  inCenfe  Violence  of  the 
FJameii :  The  Scene  of  Defolation  is  on  all 
Sides  terrible.  The  Loft  fuftaioed is  reckon- 
•d,  by  a  grofs  Computation^  at  a  Million

A6  by  the  Accounts  received  from  thence, 
the  Behavjour  of  the  Turkish  Officer^,  dur- 
init  the  Fire,  gave  the  greatrft  Caufe  of 
Complaint  to  the  Sufferers  by  it,  all  the 
Chiifli^n  Minivers  refiding  here  have  prc- 
fented  Memorials  to  the  I'orte  on  that  Oc- 
cation. 

Hamburgb^  Seftt  ij.  The  Corpfc  of  the 
late  Prince  George  of  Holflein  was  dcpo- 
fited  very  early,  on  Saturdiy  Mt>rning  the

the  lare  Duchtrfii  lies. 

Smyrna^  ^ug,  20.  The  Fire  » hat  happen- 
ed heic  the  5th  loft,  was  v-.ry  tcirible  ;  the 
Chriftians  alone  have  fufft  r«d  by  it.  It  be- 
gan in  the  Quarter  called  the  Franks-ftrett^ 
and  in  \t(i  than  74.  Hi>urs  all  th^t  Quarter 
was  reduced  to  AAics,  excepting  the  Houfes 
of  the  Engliih  and  Kagufim  Confuls,  and 
three  othtrs.  The  Lofs  occafioned  by  this 
t>ifafter  is  very  confiderable  The  Franks, 
nor  knowing  wheiy  to  f;ct  Shflfer,  now  de- 
pend on  the  Benevolence  of  the  Msliome- 
d»n<,  Greeks,  and  Jews.  The  Cady  would 
not  give  any  Orders  for  ftopping  the  Pro- 
grefs  of  the  Fames  i  neirher  Supplications, 
nor  Menaces,  nor  Money,  could  move 
him. 

CivitaFeccbia,  Stpt,  11.  The  Dutch  Con- 
ful  at  Tunis  has  wrote  to  all  (he  Confub  of 
his  Nation  rcfidmi^  in  the  Poits»  ot  the  Me- 
diterranean, that  the  Sajetine  Rovers  have 
taken  a  Dutch  Ship  bound  from  Majorca  to 
Amfterdam  with  a  C<irgo  of  Oil,  and  aifo  a 
Tufcan  Veffcl.  The  Conful  adds .  that  thofe 
Pirates  have  particularly  declared  themfelvet 
againft  the  French  and  Spaniards. 

Li/hoti,  Sefft,%6,  He:  Roy;*IHighncf»iho 
Princefs  of  Brazil  was  happily  delivered  of 
a  Prince  about  half  an  Hour  after  Eleven 
o'clock  this  Forenoon.  Her  Roy^l  High-

mediately notified  to  the  Public  in  the  uiual 
Form,  and  public  Illuminations  are  appoint-

|he  German  War,  his  Majefty  has  thouf^ht 
proper  to  appoint  Comniiflaries,  who  are  to 
examine  and  adjud  all  (he  Claims  ftill  re- 
maining, as  well  thofe  which  relate  to  the 
foreign  Troops  in  the  Pay  of  Great  Britain,

The  Accoants  and  the  Vouchers,  after

Ibre  the  Parliament,  in  order  to  obtain  the 
Payment  of  what  may  be  juft  and  reafona- 
ble,  for  no  regard  will  be  paid  to  any  that 
^ihiall  appear  otherwire.  And  thofe  amongd 
fbe  Claimants,  whofe  Impatience  made 
them  fo  Imprudent  as  to  feiz?  fome  of  the 
Maga;(ines  belonging  to  the  Bririfh  Crown 
which  remained  in  Germany,  will  be  taken 
no  Notice  of,  in  this  general  Liquidation, 
till  fuch  Time  a^  they  have  fet  forth  the 
Motives  of  their  Condud,  and  made  good 
the  Lofs  and  Damage  occafioned  by  their 
ill-jadjsed  Violence. 

We  are  informed  that  the  Liberty  aflii- 
med  by  foreign  Embaflkdors,  for  Prote^ing 
Perfons  from  being  arreftcd  for  Debt,  will 
be  reftnded  to  their  own  Family  and  Do- 
neftics  only. 

'  Off.  5.  There  was  a  grand  Council  at 
St.  James* s,  at  which,  his  Grace  the  Arch- 
bishop of  Canterbury,  the  Lord  Chancellor, 
the  tvvo  Secretaries  of  State,  and  feveral 
Lords  of  his  Majtfty*$  Honourable  Privy 
Council,  were  pfefent,when  it  was  refolved, 
that  the  Parliament  (hall  meet  for  difpatch 
of  Bufmefs  the  i^th  of  November. 

The  ^arl  of  Hertford  took  Leave  of  their 
Majefties,  he  being  in  a  few  Days  to  feC 
out  on  his  £mb.i(ry . 

IT.  The  Marquis  of  Rockingham,  was 
chofen  vne  of  the  Governors  of  the  Charter 
Houfe,  in  the  room  of  the  late  Earl  of 
£gremont. 

Extras  ofs  Letter  from  on  Board  the  Lout/a, 
Admiral  Terrell  Sept.  44,  1763. 
Several  Trials  of  Mr.  Irwin*s  Marine 
Ch^tir,  have  been  already  made  on  Poard 
our  Ship.  It  enabled  us  to  take  the  Obfer- 
vations  of  the  Celeftial  Phenomena  full  at 


1117 

(leadily  as  if  the  Obferver  had  been  of^ 
Liind.  If  the  Motion  of  the  Heavenly  Bo- 
dies are  the  mod  exad  and  perfefl  Mea- 
furei  of  Time  yet  known,  in  which  Pointy 
the  abled  Af^ronnmcrs  are  agreed,  there 
can  remain  litrle  Doubt,  but,  that  with  the 
Help  of  the  Marine  Chnir,  the  Longitude 
at  Sea,  may,  hereafter,  in  the  lomtefl,  and 
fhorteft  Voyages,  be  e.^fily  found.  TherW,> 
are  two  Marine  Chairs  on  Board,  diffrnic' 
fomewhat  in  Conftnidion ,  but,  conf^rived 
on  the  fame  Principles  :  In  thefe,  the  Gen- 
tlemen appointed  by  the  Government,  take 
correfpondent  Obfervations,  which  anfwer 
to  the  niced  Degree  of  Exa^nds. 

The  French  King  has  taken  from  the 
Prefidents  of  the  'Parliament  of  Grenoble 
the  right  of  commanding  that  Province  in 
the  Abfence  of  the  Military  Commandants* 
By  an  Arret  of  the  Council  of  State,  the 
Refolutions  of  this  Parliament  of  the  6t\\, 
relative  to  the  Money  edi^s  are  annulled^ 
and  ordered  to  be  erafed  from  the  Regiflcrs^ 
and  this  Arret  of  the  Council  to  be  entered 
in  their  (lead  ;  with  Orders  not  to  obDru£l 
the  Execution  of  thefe  Money- edicts,  upon 
Pain  of  an  extraordinary  Profecution. 

The  King  of  Portugal,  in  Imitation  of 
the  Englifh,  is  putting;  feveral  Ships  of  War 
into  CommilTion ;  and  Orders  have  been 
given  to  eflablifh  certain  Officers  for  re- 
giHering  ten  thoufand  Seamen^  in  Cafe  of 
an  Emergency. 

By  feveral  Accounts  which  arrived  in 
TownonWcdnefday  from  America  we  hear^ 
that  two  Re;;iments  of  Highlanders,  and 
'  one  of  Rangers,  together  with  fome  other 
of  bis  MajeAy*s  Forces,  on  their  March 
to  Pittfburgh  and  Fort  Detroit,  with  a  Con- 
voy of  Provifions,  were  attacked  by  a  pow« 
erful  Body  of  Indians,  and  had  fuffered 
very  much,  befides  the  Lof^  of  the  Convoy. 
We  hope,  however,  thefe  Accounts  will 
not  be  found  true. 

By  Letters  from  South  Carolina  we  learn, 
that  his  Majefty*s  Governors  to  the  North- 
ward, efpecially  at  BoAon  and  New-  York, 
are  taking  fuch  effedual  Methods  as  cannot 
fail  to  render  the  Places  in  the  Weft-Indies, 
lately  declared  Free  Ports  by  the  French 
and  Spaniards  of  very  little  Benefit,  with 
Regard  to  the  Trade  of  North  America.

Orders,  the  North  Briton,  No.  4.^.  was 
attempted  to  be  burnt  by  the  Hands  of  the 
common  Hangman  :  A  ^reat  Number  of 
Peace  Officers  attended  by  the  Sheriffs,  af- 
fembled  on  that  Occafif^n ;  '  but  as  Jack 
Ketch  was  preparing  to  iir.ht  the  Faggots 
with  a  Link,  before  the  South -fide  of  the 
Royal  Exchange,  the  PopuUce  prevented 
him,  by  throwing  about  the  Faggr  ts.  Al- 
derman Harley,  who  proceeded  fi'ft  cf  the 
two  Sheriff*,  got  up  with  fome  Difficulty 
within  a  fmsU  Diftirce  of  the  i*)acc,  and 
alighted  from  his  Chsriot  to  c;.ve  fack  Ketcli

knock  the  North  Briton  out  of  tlie  Execu-

ceived Several  violent  Blows  in  defending 
Mr.  Harley  from  the  loftilts  of  the  Popu-

Province  met  here,  purfuant  to  Proroga- 
tion, and  Call  ;  and  on  Wednefday  his  Ho- 
nour the  Governor  was  pleafed  to  open  the 
5^flion  with  the  following  Speech  to  both 
Houfet,  viz. 

**  Gentlemen  of  the  Council t  and  General  Af- 

femhlyf 

"  The  i?icat  and  dcfifable  Wot  k  of  Peace 
bein((  by  the  Wifdom  and  Magnanimity  of 
our  gracious  Sovereign,  happily  accomplifli- 
ed  iince  your  Recefs,  I  cordially  congratu- 
late  you  on  this  joyful  Event,  fo  highly  glo- 
rious  to  his  Majefly,  and  exteitfively  bene- 
ficial to  hit  People.  His  American  Safajeds, 
who  will  derive  from  it  a  Security,  un- 
known tince  the  HtH  EilablKhment  of  thtfe 
€ok>nies,  mud  receive  this  Mark  of  Royal 
Attention  to  their  Ilitereft  and  Safety,  with 
the  warmcft  Sentiments  of  Loyalty,  Gra- 
titude and  Aflfedion. 

•«  The  Enjoyment  of  folid  Tranquility, 
is,  however,  unhappily  fafpendcd,  by  the 
Hurinc;  and  unprovoked  Attacks  of  (broe  of 
the  Wertern  Tribes  of  Indians  j  who,  un- 
der the  f|K-cious  Appearance  of  Friendftiip, 
have  rrf<iclieroufly  furpriled  fome  of  our  re- 
mote Ports,  and  arc  in  open  War  j  r«ncw- 
in^r  Willi  relent Itfs  Cruelty,  that  Horrorand 
Defolatton,  amonx  the  dcfencclefs  Inhabi- 
i:in;*»  mm  which  they  were  fo  recently 
dclivernl. 

•*  To  fupprefs  this  dangerous  Dcfedion 
pregnant  with  the  mcft  fatal  Evils,  before 
it  bwcomcs  more  cxtcniive  and  formidable, 
is  our  in<ii(pen(ib1e  Duty. 

*«  The  rrefervation  of  our  own  Frontier 
(houkl.be  our  ftrft  and  immediate  Care,  eve- 
ry  Motive  of  Policy,  Jurtice,  and  Humaoi- 
ty,  unitedly  demanding  the  Protedion  of 
our  Fellow  Subjects,  whofe  diftant  and  dif  • 
peKed  Situation,  m«(l  otherwife  leave  them 
an  eafy  Prey  to  merdlefs  Savages, 

But  barely  to  defend  ourfelves,  would  be 
giving  the  Enemy  every*  Advantage,  and 
cxpofe  us  to  perpetual  Diiqoietude.  It  is 
necefTi'y  a  Fort  fhould  be  raifcd  fufficitnt 
to  chaAife  the  faithlefs  People,  that  feeling 
the  Weight  of  our  Refeotment,  they  may 
b%  awed  for  the  future  by  the  Fear  of  Pu  - 
niAiment  i  Experience  evincing,  thatdefti* 
fvit  of  eveiy  jnH  and  humane  Principle, 
jh4Utng  tlfe  can  fecure  ut  ftgainft  theit  coa- 


'*  Since  then  not  only  the  Profperityof 
the  Colony,  but  the  very  Exigence  of  a 
great  Part  of  it,  depeiul  on  the  mod  adive 
and  fpirited  Meafures,  no  Arguments  can 
he  wanting  to  anirfute  you  to  a  vigorous 
Exertion  of  your  Strength,  in  the  Accom* 
plilhment  of  this  eflential  Objed. 

"  I  /hall  therefore  content  mjrfelf  with 
laying  before  you  a  Letter  I  received  from 
his  Excellency  Sir  Jeffery  AmherA,  Com- 
mander in  Chief  of  Majerty's  Forces,  pref- 
fiog  the  Government  to  fumi(h  a  Propor- 
tion of  Bien,  to  proceed  early  in  the  Spring, 
in  Corjundion  with  the  Regular  Troope, 
on  thiv  itnportant  Service.  Did  the  Subje^ 
require  it,  his  fuperior  Abilities  would  ren- 
der it  unnecefTary  for  me  to  enforce,  what 
be  fo  wifely  urges  for  fubduing  that  reftleft, 
fierce,  and  cruel  Spirit  of  the  Savages,  the 
Source  of  the  mod  dreadful  Calamities. 

■<  Gentlemen  of  the  General  AJemhff, 
"  I  flattered  myfelf  the  ordinary  Support 
of  his  Majf  Ay*s  Government  would  have 
been  his  only  Aid  requited  of  you  at  this 
Time :  But  the  unexpeded  Revolt  of  the 
Indians,  renders  a  much  greater  Expeoos 
unavoidable.  Beiides  providing  for  the  Com- 
pany now  pofted  at  Fort  Ontario,  Niagara, 
and  D*Etroit,  which  General  Monckton,  by 
the  Advice  of  his  Majefty*s  Council  a  few 
Days  before  hit  Departure,  direfied  to  be 
continued  on  that  Service,  I  eameilly  re- 
commend you  will  grant  the  neceiTary  Sup- 
plies for  raifing,  cloaihing,  and  paying  a 
Body  of  Forces,  fufiicient  with  other  Troope, 
to  avert  the  Dangers  we  fear ;  avenge  the 
Injories  we  have  rectiivedj  and  convince 
the  Savages  of  our  Ability  to  compel  them 
to  Subfiniinoa.

ID  which  the  Author  endeavoars  to  prove, 
by  fingular  Arguments,  that  that  Part  of 
the  World  was  peopled  before  the  Deimge, 
and  that  this  fuper-natural  Sobmerficn 
did  not  equally  extend  to  every  Pan  of  the 
Earth.
