European Intelligence.
CADIZ, (Spain) June 7.'
BY a packet-boat arrived at Galicia, letters are received
from Lima and Buenos-Ayres, all of which mention
the troubles prevailing in Peru. The Indians have ren
dered themselves formidable in the diflridtof Tinta. They
have hanged some of the Corregidors, feyeral merchants, and
other refpedable persons, and destroyed a corps of about 500
men, who marched to flop theprogrefs of the rebellion. Their
difeontent has been occasioned by several new regulations to
which they were to be fubjett, and some new taxes impofcd
on them. A body of troops are on their march from Buenos-
Ayres to quell the mutineers, but it is doubtful whether they
will be able to subdue them, if they are as numerous as has
been represented. Itis thought that the freightment of flip
ping carrying on here on the King's account is deftiried solely
for that part of America. The Clips are loaded, but the troops
will not arrive till they can be replaced in the camp at St. Roch
by others on their march thither.

Peterfburgh arrived herein 15 days. The dispatches he has
brought for the States General, are relative to the mediation of
the Empress for a general peace, in favour of which, the Em
peror has likewise declared, as far as we can learn, to Baron de
llop, Minister from the States-General at Brussels, his readi

vantageous to his dominions inThe Netherlands.

condemn it.
A letter from the Hague, dated the 26th fays, “ The Ruf
fian Ambassador has acquainted the States, by order of the
Empress, that flic is unwilling to fee her Ally the King of
Great-Brit in over-powered by numbers, and urges them to
a negotiation of peace; and that the Ambassador has requeu
ed an answer in a fortnight, that he may fend it to the Em
press. What effect this may have on the States is uncertain;
they are to meet in a few days to deliberate on the matter.
We are all very anxious to know the event, as the people in
general are desirous of a peacu"

Extrail of a letter from Peterfourgb byAbe H&QLU[\
" It is given out here as a fact, that our Court, i„iion
with another power, has declared it improper that France
ihould have any influence on the resolutions of the States Ge
neral, at the fame time England should fill remain without
afiiftance; and that the independence of North America ought
not to be acknowledged till the other Powers have granted to
their American Colonies alike liberty, It is conjectured that
this declaration will produce great changes."

Prince of Orange has granted letters of marque to several

House of Peers, Wednesday, July 18.
This day His Majesty came to the House, and being seated
on the Throne, the Ulher of the Black Rod was sent to the
House of Commons, to delire their attendance. The Com
mons being come, the Speaker took his frand at the Bar, and
holding in his hand the East-India Company's Bill, made the
following Speech to the King;
“S IR E,
“ Your Majesty's faithful Commons have, in the courfc of
tire prefect fellidh, granted every supply which your Majesty
has aiked, in order to enable you to answer all the emergen
cies of the present crisis of public affairs, and to refill effectual
ly the unprovoked confederacy which has been formed against
this country; and, although in the railing of those supplies,
they have done every thing in their power to render them as
little burthenfome to the people as possible, and have fouad
the resources of this country equal to every demand which has
been made upon it; yet, as the burthens which the necessity
of the times obliged them to impose were great indeed, how
ever chearfully imposed, his Majesty's faithful Commons trust,
that his Majeity's humanity and wisdom will take care, that
the supplies they have fd liberally granted, shall be applied
only to the purposes for which they have been voted.
"SIRE,
" I have the fatisfaaion to inform you, that during the
prefect session, youfr faithful Commons have paid particular at
tention to the Support and extension of public credit, and the
impi ovement pf the public revenues, in order to be the better
prepared to strengthen your Majesty's arms, and to enable
them to answer the future exigencies of affairs.
“SIR E,
" I have in my handthe last of the bills which make up the
Supply of the current year, It is an ad for enabling your
Majesty to enlarge the Charter of the United Company of
Merchants of England, trading to the East-Indies, and for
securing to your Majesty, for public use, the four hundred and
two thousand pounds ; which bill 1 mod dutifully present from
your faithful Commons, who humbly entreat that it may
receive your Majesty's Royal Approbation."
The Royal assent was then given to the following Bills, viz.
-—To the East-India new Charter, Bengal Judicature, and
Insolvent Debtors Bills —Bill to amend an Juror in the Cocoa
Nut Adi—Bill to regulate the Driving of Cattle—That to pro
vide places of rtfidence for the parochial Clergy Bill for
eroding new Buildings near the Bank—Bill to prevent the
dealing of Iron Rails, Pewter, Brass, Solder, &c.—Ply
mouth-Dock Bill, and several public and private Bills.
After which, his Majesty made the following Speech to both
Houses:
“ My Lords and Gentlemen,
" ALTHOUGH the business of this Session has required a
longer attendance than may have been confident with your
private convenience, yet I am perfwaded that you look back
with fatisfaflion on the time you have employed in a faithful
difeharge of your duty to your country, in the present ar
duous and critical state of public affairs.
" I cannot let you depart into your refpedive counties,
without assuring you of my entire approbation of your con
du& and of my perfect confidence in the loyalty and good
affedions of this Parliament.
“ The zeal and ardour which you have shown for the honour
of my crown, your firm and steady support of a just cause,
and the great efforts you have made to enable me to surmount
all the difficulties of this extensive and complicated war, must
convince the world that the ancient spirit of the British nation
is not yet abated or diminished.
“ In the midst of these difficulties, you have formed regula
tions for the better management and improvement of the
revenue; you have given additional strength and liability to
public credit ; and your deliberations on the affairs of the
East-India Company have terminated in such measures as will,
I trust, produce great and essential advantages to my king
doms.
“ I have observed, with much fatisfaaion, that during the
course of that important business, your attention was not
more anxiously directed to the benefits to be derived from the
territorial acquisitions, than to tfe happiness and comfort of
the inhabitants of those remote provinces.
“ Whatever may remain to be done for securing those va
luable poffeflions, and for reflraining the abuses to which
they are peculiarly liable, you will, I doubt not, proceed
to provide for at your next meeting, with the fame wis
dom and temper that have governed your late proceedings
and enquiri es.
" Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
My particular thanks are due to you for the ample provi
sion you have made for the service of the current year. I fee
with great pleasure that you have had it in your power to apply
so large a sum to the difeharge of the debt of the navy, and that
the supplies which you have granted have been raised in a
manner the least burthenfome to the property and industry of
my faithful people.
“ My Lords and Gentlemen,
" While I lament the continuance of the present troubles,
and the extension of this war, I have the iatisfadtion to reflect,
that the constant aim of all my Councils has been to bring back
my deluded fubjeds in America to the happiness and liberty
they formerly enjoyed, and to fee the tranquility of Europe
reftored..,i
“ To defend the dominions, and to maintain the rights of
this country, was, on my part, the sole cause, and the only
object of the war. Peace is the earnest with of my heart;
but I have too firm a reliance on the spirit and resources of
the nation, and the powerful assistance of my Parliament, and
the protection of a juft,and all-ruling Providence, to accept it
upon any other terms or conditions, than such as may consist
with the honcur,and dignity of my Crown, and the perma
nent interest and security of my people."
Then the Lord Chancellor, by his Majesty's command
said,
" My Lords and Gentlemen,
" It is his Majesty's royal will and pleasure, that this Par
liament be prorogued to Thursday, the thirteenth day of Sep
tember next, to be then here holden; and this Parliament is
accordingly prorogued to Thursday, the thirteenth day of
September next."
