<* I think it my duty o give you every informed,
ba in my po*% which througWyour means in your
public ch&ri&er can poffibiy be uAfel ta the waited
Suus of America. .
“ J found ths raiaiftry at this Cdurt'aaxiaus to
know the success of sur oppoition t» the violent at
tempts of Groat-Britain : they were farprifed they
had net received mere frequent intel igente and ap
plications. Partly through the reparations which
I had the h,nor cf making, a commercial company,
with thefanaioß ofAdmiftration, it 'formed under the
firm of one of the meft reputable houses ; by that
channel yen will ton receive arms, eloathing, tent^
cannon, mintars, gun powder, and every other necef
f„ article for an army of 30 oco men, together
with a few good officers of artillery. We had far a
long time received no certain i^telligace from Con
graft, while Eaglifh emifiries were bus, in
retailing the gruffeft fafhoods, firft, that the difynte
wn like to be accommodated, and w^en the declara
tion of Independence made that irapoffible, they pre.
tended that deflations prevailed among the C loniuf,
and that the vast armaments employed b, Great-
Briuin would infalibly hrtlh the cental in eno
campaign
• 6 Our total want of intelligence had for sometime
rendered the minftry at Versa lies timid and appre
heufire ; in tris ituation of affairs I quirted France,
in order, if puffible, ta negotiate a loan in Holland,
and open an iatercvurie with thtCourt ofPrnffia, which
by its Ambassador in France had expressed a desire
of knowing the true state if the thirteen united Colo
nies, and of making fame essay in our trade.
« At Arafterdam, Bremen and Hamburgh. I en
deavoured to excite (peculations to opt n a direct com
merce with us, and nothing bat the total want cf
proper and due intelligece from Congress, or (fan a
qual (hire of ability in the art of coining to countered
tat abominable lies of England who stick rt no
thing to m-ke Europe believe we were on the point
of fabrication has hitherto prevented my fucctfs.
Companies, however, are adusti, formed even ia the
heart of Germany, from whence oar wants will car.
taialy be fepplied, and good markets found for vend
ing gui commodities.
06 At Berge I met a more favorable reception than
I could possibly have exposed. I made there pro
per reprefentatioLS to the King and miniflers, who
give me strong tffurances that all the grant powers
in Europe wifhtd our Independence, but his Majesty
was pleased to fay, " that until we threw sixes they
must keep up appearances with England." 1 std) have
thehon^r of corrifponding with the Prussian rairta%
and several performs of r</k abut tha Court, and I
long co be an!.; od ^:nf # rm rhe King ,hirt w 2 hire
th own firm The prefect King is iahrm ; his pre
famptire fuccefr is rather inclined t# e#fe and pie#,
fare, whence 'tis to be prefumsd he will prefer com
meres to war. I will soon craafmit you a Sketch of
tie Prussian trade and manufsaure .
" In ray way through Saxony, Laface and the Pa
latine, I found ths capital merchants meditating a
future commerce with us. I received a thoufaad ci
vilities fiom them ; they font after me to Paris pat
terr s of various ma%ufaaures,uf thedifferent countries.
I have cultivated this good disposition, and make
these merchants the vehicles of communicating thro 3
Germany, true accounts of every imporant ivent in
the American States, to confront the falfe imports
fprsad by thecreatures cf the British miirifty.
"There is no doubt of obtaining very 1 rge sap
plies cf money to enable you to carry on the war as
long as England is mad enough to continue it, and
very large ferns are already aaually obtained for your
tefe. The French nation is clamorous for war with
Ea^laad ; the nobility breathe the fame fentfments,
& the Court in general leant towards us. The mini
fas with to provke Great Britain te attack them ;
in that event their allies the Emperor, Spain, Sweden,
&c. will be obliged to support them. Your Com
miffioaers are provoking them by taking English trip
in the British chml and felling them in French ports.
Upon toe whole it appears that war on this fide is i<e.
vital ie, alth ugh to deprecate the Broke the Caerecf
London has stooped very low.
" This letter will be put into ;our h/nds by the
Marqaii De - — of a noble end ancient family in
France, conne&ed by birth and tea riage with ;h, firft
in the kingdom, aFd in poff&ffiin of 140001. fierling
per annum, belled and almost adored by his nume
rous acq matinees, but prefaring glory to ever, en-
j 9, ment which these, in the arms of a young and
beautiful wife, and young family co*ld give him, he
courts danger in defence of oar cau.'e, which is here
universally celebrated, as the cau'e cf mankind ; and
nothing amazis sensible men in Eircpe more than to
hear thee are any difrffiaed people ameng^oe.
" The situation of every friend tq America read
ing in England is now become critical. The Ame
rican refugees are parcelling ahead, car spoils, and
diluting about otiices a*d their different Shares of
our elites. The hfituarion of the people cf Eng
land almoAcquals the wickedness of their mimißiy.
We had %■ opportunity of feeing their intended
