LONDON, November 5.
SHOULD the insurgents of South-America succeed, the
Spaniih monarchy mult be undone. The amazing quan
tities of gold and iilver imported into Spain from that
continent, has caused the Spaniards to degenerate into idleness
and lloth, and these articles being their staple commodities,
for which the manufactures of other countries have been 'the
constant and only returns that could be made, all arts and
manufactures have been neglected in Spain; so that should
they be deprived of their precious bullion, ruin is inevitable,
as the circulating cash is not more than barely fufficient to an
swer the purpose of internal commerce..
The following ludicrous scene happened a few nights since
in a family of some note in this city. Mr. coming home
a little mellow, had a mind for a frolick. Having undressed
himicif, he whitened his face with flour; and putting a Iheet
round him, marched, with a taper in his hand (by way of per
fonating an apparition) into a room where two maid-fervant^
slept. The girls were doubtiefs much terrified. Tell me,
said he, in a melancholy tone of voice, the last fin you com
mitted, or I'll deliver you a death-warrant. Keep your
distance, good Mr. Spirit, cried the youngest, and I'll confefi
—I let Mr. into my mistress's bedchamber last night—
and two hours after, I let him out of the house, replied the
other. The apparition vanilhed, and it is imagined per
fectly sobered, having got a cooler he little dreamt of. It is
laid a lawyer has been consulted on the occasion; but has given
an opinion, that an action for crim. con. will not lie on the
evidence.
A correspondent, on whose veracity we can rely, informs
us, that'on one fide of a bridge at Pontefta&, in Yorkshire;
there Stands the following infeription:
K E E.
PON T.
H. I S S
I. d.
Which a deputation from the Society of Antiquarians were
sent to decypher; but after spending much time without being
able to effect it, a simple countryman passing by one day while
the learned body were holding a confutation upon it, on© of
them in derision aiked him to lead it; which he, without
heitation, did as follows: Keep on this Jide. The other Side
being so bad as to make it hazardous for passengers to venture
on it, caused the above infeription being put up.
November 8. Orders are issued from the Navy Board, for
discontinuing the expensive decorations of flag Ships, which the,
now find rendered more useless than ever, by the frequent
Ihifting oi the flags from one Ship to another.—Admiral Hyde
Parker, some time ago on being alked what ornaments he
wiihed to have on the Ship ?—replied —" damme—none !—llc
gingerbread work at all!—in the fiift place, I never wiih ta
Shew hyfern to the enemy ; and when we come along tide of
them, if! cannot contrive to diftinguiffi my Ship without the!
aid of the fainter and gilaer, I with She may go right down,
and not be seen at all."
Extras of a letter from the Ilague, November 13.
“ Penfionary Van Berkel lias refignea that part of his post
which relate to affairs out of the city of Amsterdam, and will
in future only take thole which relate to the interior affairs of
that capital.
“ It is said that the Dutch merchant fleet now at anchor ini'
the Texel, and destined for the Weft-Indies, will fail before
the end of this mouth, under convoy of four Ships of the line
and four frigates.
“ The affair relative to the eftablilhing of Consuls in the
ports of France and those of the Republick, is almost finally
fettled; and we hear it is agreed to have a Dutch consul in,
every port of France, and a French one in every port of the
Republick; and, it is said, their inftrudions are making out. 2 '
November 10. Advice is received of the faft arrival of the
Baltick fleet, confiding of upwards of 100 fail, in Yarmouth
Roads; and likewise of 25 fail from Peterfburgh, without
convoy, being arrived at the fame place.
November 13. A cutler is Sheathing with leather^at Dept
ford, by way of experiment, to try its efficacy against the
penetration of worms; it is cured in a particular manner, so
as to harden in the water, and be as durable as the copper
Sheathing now so much used.
November 15. It appears plain (fays a correspondent) that
by our enemies own accounts, they will not find Minorca so
easy a conquest as they at firft imagined.^de bravery of our
troops, and the wifdoni of our General, arc bd^Qell known;
and to this may be added, that the regiments weMve there
are all veterans, long tried in the service, so that there can be -
but little to fear from the Spaniards, who are far from being
belowed by the people of the Illand. The Minorquins, ori
ginally a colony from Gaul (i. e. France) were subdued firft by
the Moors from Barbary, and then by the Spaniards who
cruelly oppressed them, but now by becoming fubjed to Great-
Britain, they enjoy real liberty. They never yet made any
complaint of our people, but in two instances of a very private
nature, one of which was owing to the youthful gallantry of
three young' officers who married thr e Nuns (1748) and the
other to the imprudence of a Governour, who was immedi
ately recalled. 0
November 17. We hear that Sir John Lockhart Ross is to
have the command of eight fail of the line intended for the
relief of Minorca.
Admiral Gambier goes to Newfoundland to relieve Admiral
Edwards next Spring.
.The two funds for the next budget, ndw talked of, are a tax
often Shillings on every house in the kingdom without any excep
tion, and mortgaging one Shilling in the pound of the land tax-
November 21. They write from Cadiz, that an embargo
has been laid on all Spanish Ships in that port, in order to em
ploy them in transporting 4000 men to Porto Rico, either to
attack Jamaica, or some other expedition, for which Don
Joseph Solano has orders to go and take another corps at Gua
rico. Five battalions are about to march from thence to Cadiz#
destined to make a part of the embarkation.
Amidst the general talk of peace the greatest preparations are
making to carry on the war. Twenty thousand men have or
ders for embarkation, dependent on circumstances early in the
spring; in consequence of which the militia will be augmented
for the internal defence of the kingdom.
