fagter, Sept. 2< The laiHceh froit flam
burgh advise, that a report prevails there that the
King of Sweden and his brothers, as the ncaieft
of kin to the Grand Duke of Russia, have pro
teiled againtt the treaty which that I'rince has
concluded with the King of Denmark, relative
to the Ducal Holstein and the counties of Holden
bourg and Delmenhorft. Nevertheless, as the
parties interested in this treaty are all perfectly
agreed, this protest is looked upon as mere form.

dinary account we received from Paderborn: A
Count, who wa" Sfovereign of Buren, in Weftpha
ha, near Paderborn, turned Jesuit in the lath cen
tury, and by an act drawn up in all the forms of
law, gave his bounty to the late society, with all
his rights, rent; and prerogatives, since which time
these good fathers have been in peaceful poffelhon
of that Sovereignty, which the Pope pretends to
take from them by the breif which suppresses them;
but they have rejected the brief, and forbid the
publication of it among them, on pain of being
Criminally prosecuted by their officers of justice.
Hamburgh, Oct. 1. It is said that Colonel Fal

Letters from the different places of the Imperi
al dominions, mention, that the Pope's Bull for
abolishing the order of the Jesuits, has occasioned
an uncommon infurreftion among the lower elds
of people, which highly embarrasses the princes,

the soldiers were obliged to fire among the rioters,
which not only had no effea, but enraged the mob
the more, so that three regiments of foldieis were
polled in the different streets.
They write from Italy, that almost all the Je

“ The laid advices from the Crimea assure, that
on the ißtl, ofJuly last, Prince Dolgorucky, the

late Chan, should make his appearance with the
Ottoman fleet on those coasts."
Sept. 27. It is now said that the Emperor and
the King of Prussia are to have an interview the
latter end of this month.
Sept. 28. Most of the powers of Europe are
alarmed and in suspense. They are shocked at the
pnnatural combination of the three great poWers
who originally had certainly a distrust of, and ha
tred for, each other. But the love of spoil will
Unite the most ferocious animals; and lions, wolves,
and tigers will hunt in concert. It is a matter of
doubt where the Ruffian Bear, the German Ea
gle, and Prussian Vulture may seek for new prey
to fatisfy their voracious appetites.
It is said the King of Prussia has declared him
felf the friend of the Jesuits, and will grant them
his protection. If these reverend fathers are pos
sessed of considerable effects, his Machiavelian
Majesty will take care of them and their affairs
till he has robbed them of the last Filling. In
this he will but follow the example of other great
powers who make no scruple to seize the goods of
these unhappy wretches wherever they can find
them: But it is just, that a society which was
founded on principles contrary to the well-being of
mankind, should find no protection from the laws
of any country, or any support from humanity.
Sir Robert Walpole was always a complete mas
ter of the designs of the Roman Catholics; he
bad the most artive and able of their Priests in his
pay. Some think that Lord North will become
protector of the exiled Jesuits, and by that means
worm himfelf into their secrets ; but it is thought
these reverend fathers will never be able to make
his Lordffiip one of their order; that is, a con
jurer.
His Imperial Majesty will have a finer army in
the field the ensuing Spring than has been seen in
Germany for two centuries; besides the flower of
his own troops, all the hired troops from the
Duchies of Mecklenburg, Saxe Gotha, Wertem
berg, &c. and which are picked men, are to ap
pear there.

hundred guineas to fifty were betted this morning,

Mr. Sayre's (one of the new Sheriffs) carriage,
is the most elegant that has been seen for many
years; it was originally built for Sir Tho. An
derson, and cost Bcol- but Mr. Sayer gave only
3001. for it, and the carving alone is eftimaced
to have cost that.
Mr. Lee's carriage isequaliy elegant. The
device on the pannel is Britannia holdinga lawrel
branch to America, who is placed in the oppohte
quarter; at thebottom is a figure of plenty, and in
the upper quarter is fame displaying a banner, allud
ing to the union of Great-Britain and her colo
nies.
A correspondent fays, that though Tbwnfend
and Sawbridge have imposed upon force hundreds
of the Livery, it will be impoflible for them to
persuade the city they are not wolves in fheeps
clothing, being enlisted under the deceitful Mala
grida, who has not only sent a detachment to the
assistance of the ministry, but is fliortly to follow
himfelf, if he is not already in their pay.
A court Alderman conversing lately with Mr.
Wilkes about the present Election, afleed him,
why he would persist in his pursuit of the Mayor
alty, when he knew how odious he was at court,
and that five or fix great men, and one very great,
had swore he never fliould be Mayor: Because,
fays Wilkes, more than twice as many hundreds
have sworn that I Ihall: And how am I so odious,
continued he, when your great friends have dif
tinguilhed me from all other Aldermen ? For tho'
many have been sworn into the Mayoralty, I Ihall
r be the firft that was ever sworn out of it.

be paid to his flag in the Mediterranean,, and an
immediate restitution of all vefels which have been
taken from his fubjefts by the French cruizers,
under falfe pretences."
Oa. 2. Letters from Petersburg, dated Aug. 20,
mention, that ourfadory there is in avery unpro
mising situation from the great credit our mer
chants are under a necessity of giving, and that it
is supposed, unless the Empress grants some frefli
advantages in favour of the English, our commerce
with the Ruffians will be intirely ruined.
Extract of a letter from D^idavia, fug. 22+
" The grand army of the Ruffians is now in
much,diftrefs, 'but are efe&wdly secured for some
time against any attack from the Turks, yet are
badly off in refped to ammunition, and other war
like stores, a large fopfly of which has been lately
sent off in the following manner : Thirty wag
gons laden with the supplies, and under the escort
of 6000 foot, and 2000 horse, were on the road
to Jaffey from Vienna, but came round (to avoid
the Turks) on the borders of Poland, and not
diredly through Tranfilvania, which is by
much the nearest way. They arrived on the
12th instant in this province, on the banks of
the river Pruth, which river they passed at a
ford, and bent their rout immediately for the
city of Sereth, about twelve leagues from Jaf
fey. The Grand Vizir, whole army now lies at
Manu,th, was determined to interrupt this sup
ply, and accordingly detached 2000 Janissaries
and 5000 Spahis, who by forced and secret mar
ches came up with the waggons before it was
possible for Marshal Romanzow to fend a farther,
reinforcement of men. The Ruffians placed the
waggons for intrenchments, and defended them
selves with great courage and resolution ; a great
number of the Turks were killed by the artillery
of the Ruffians; but at last the numbers of the
former prevailed : The Ruffians fled towards Jaf
fey, and left the fopplies to the mercy of the ene
my, who rerted two days after the action ; and by
that means has given Count Orlow an opportunity
to attack them in his turn; for which purpose he is
now preparing to march."
This morning Sir Stephen Theodore Janffen,
Chamberlain of London, came and polled for
Wilkes and Bull.
ExtraPt of a letter from Rome.
" 1 he fall of the Jesuits, like a great event as
it is, has shook this country to its centre. His
Holiness, in the irresolution which he teftified so
long before he ventured to annihilate that famous
society, gave many proofs that he was afraid of
the event. And not without reason; for, since
the moment of their diflolution, the Jesuits have
insulted, vexed, and satirized him in every quar
ter, and in every shape that human invention
could devise. The do&rine now ' propagated
through Italy, and what has been the fubjeftof
the most recent pafquinade, is, that the fallof the
Popedom must inevitably follow the fall of the
Jesuits. To support this doctrine, a prophecy
has been providentially dug up at Bologna, which
puts the matter beyond a doubt. This prophecy
contains words to the following purport: Then
Ignatus is loiv, let the shepherd of the Seven Hills
look about him. These things are trifles; but
the Pope, with all his philosophy, is grieved at
them, and he is using all his efforts to put a stop
to them."
Some very interesting matters are now seriously

weeks past, in order to bring them into terms

The total suppression of the Jesuits is an event
