The long and energick memorial presented to the
States General by the Dutch East-India Company,
craving their assistance, concludes with setting forth,
that if before the 15th of December they are not af
lifted with at least eight millions of florins, not one of
the Ships now fitting out can be furnished with that
quantity of specie io necessary for the carrying on the
trade to India, and that if the states do not determine
to assist the Company with the sums they have in the
said memorial so fully proved they stand in need of,
they must be obliged to abandon their possessions in the
Indies, Shut up their dock-yards, and in Short, entirely
lose all their present establishments in the East; and
the directors of the Company, after having so 'fully
laid their case before the States General, Shall be en
tirely fatisfied, let what will happen to the Company,
of having done their duty both to their country and
the proprietors.
R A T I S B O N, Dec. 10.
The city of Dantzick has been in a very critical
Situation. The 28th ult. the magistrate lent word
to General Eglofftein, “ That he would be obliged to
burn what is called the Kneib, and to lay under wa
ter the environs." The General answered, “ That
he might inundate or burn his own inhabitants ; and
that the suburbs being consumed, he would then be
the better able to observe the movements in the town."
In consequence, the magistrate gave orders diredly to
the militia. But the King of Prussia having now ac
cepted the mediation of Russia in this affair, it is to
be hoped that things will not be carried on to such
extremities. It is further added, that the conferences
to terminate this difference will be held at Dantzick,
between M. Buchholtz, his Prussian Majesty's resident
at Warsaw; M. d'Unrhue, PoliSh ftarofle; and M. Pe
terson, the Empress of Ruflia s resident at Dantzick,
The number of couriers between this city and Con
stantinople has been doubled; so that the news from
Tuiky arrives here every eight days.
By the last advices from Belgrade the cafmates of
that fortrefs are clearing out, and repairing to lodge
10,000 men during the winter, which are said to be
on their march from the capital, to replace those who
in the late tumult thought fit to retire.
VIENN A, December 10.
According to the last advices from Constantinople,
the divan have declared to the internuncio of the Em
peror, that the sublime Porte would, on her fide, con
tribute all in her power to fatisfy the Imperial and
Royal Court, by ceding to her (betides the diftrid of
the Ottoman Croatia) the town and fortrefs of Bel
grade, with a territory of three miles round the place.
But our court, little fatisfied with that declaration,
has, it is said, lent back immediately the courier to
Constantinople, with a counter declaration, by virtue
of which the internuncio is to set forth the impossibi
lity of accepting this condition, as the diftrids offered
cannot any way serve as an equivalent for the twen
ty-two millions of florins dilburfed for the preparati
ons for war. The Imperial and Royal Court, far
from consenting thereto, requires of the Porte to ex
plain itfelf, and give a difinitive answer, without ter
giverfation, refpeding the pretensions made for so long
a time past.
A chymift of this city pretends having found out
the secret or preserving from lire the gunpowder in
the magazines, without diminishing its Strength; on
the Emperor's return, a trial of this difeovery will be
made.
COPENHAGEN, December 6.
TH E master of a Dutch Ship, a native of Ice
land, and named Johan Engemundfon, has de
posed, that palling under Greenland he discovered a
new inland, from which a thick smoke issued out by
day, which by night became a flame, and enlightened
the furface of the sea a great way ; he added, that
part of his fails were burnt by the sparks which issued
from that island, and which were driven to a great
distance. • .
