and therefore one of the articles should be, a declaration on our
part, that we will still continue to search their ships, and seize
as at prefers every one containing contraband goods. With
out this, all treaties with them will be vain; for such is their
love of money, that they will break through the most sacred
obligations to obtain it. Treaties are with them only expe
dients to gain time to carry on their illicit trade ; for oaths and
promises made those who are slaves to the word of passions,
arc considered only as formal things.
On the 6th instant an express arrived at Paris from Ma
drid, with the following date of the Spanish navy when it en
tered the port of Cadiz, and from hence the publick may be
fully fatisfied that little assistance can be given by the Spaniards
to the French fleet, in case they think proper to rilk an en
gagemept with Admiral Darty, who, it is generally supposed,
is gone to the relief of Gibraltar and Fort St. Philip. They
giving each Monk a pension for his subsistence. Three other
rich Abbeys are soon to have the fame fate. But this spirit of
reformation is not confined to the empire alone, it has extended
tothe Andrian dominions in Italy, where the Grand Duke of
Tufeany has suppressed the Monastery of St. Michelino Vis-
Domini, and erected the church into a secular rectory, with
such appointments as he thought proper to annex to it. And
that the people may not want spiritual helps, the Archbishop
is to take care to provide them. The dislodged Monks have
each a proper and convenient pension aligned to them, besides
feme moveables, which they could take with them, and a sum
of money for their travelling expences.”
London, OHober 13. If a negociation for peace between the
Tnglifh and Dutch through the mediation of the Empress of
Russia, takes place, it will be incumbent(fays a c.nrefpondent,)
to bind the Mynheers down by the most solemn obligations not
to assist our natural enemies with warlike stores. This indeed
will be extremely difficult, but still there is a poflibility of re
ducing it in some measure to practice The avarice of the
Dutch is so well known, that it is proverbial all over Europe ;

When we look at the mapjof Europe, and behold the small
portion which the dominions of Great Britain poflefs in it, it is
impedible nut to be druck with astonishment. To fee ail the
other powers of Europe mediately or immediately in arms to
oppose England, is a proof of her wonderful refourccs, and
astonishing, powers../'
Extract of a letter dated Vienna, Sept. 13.
" The Emperor is daily redriding the power and wealth
of the Clergy, and abundance of abuses that had crept into
the church; helaft week secularized the rich Abbey of Santa'
Dorothea, id Audria, aligning 4000 florins a year to it; and
,r^ very P re A' in ^ for t^eir final answer, whether
"'',juld enter into a negociation for peace with England, or
'" I'v the return of the courier to Pcterfburgh. On which
"°' ? Mightinesses immediately met, and were delibe
^.^ what an ' wer they fnould give when the r account came
of a'letter from an Officer on board bis Majfly's sos
I the Scepter.
a We have been cruizing this fortnight in search of the
1 fleet, and according to our inftrudtions, failed through
of Biscay, dretched out almost to the Madeiras, and
& m thence came round by Cape Clear on the coad of Ireland,
f m whence we are now returned to Plymouth. Our orders
"°re todpin Admiral Darby, but not being able to find him,
even meeting a single vessel that could give us the lead ti
% of him, we imagine he has proceeded with all poflible ex
edition to the relief of Minorca; at lead that is the general
"oner'll. The gentlemen and merchants of Liverpool,
ntinue to give their nfnal bounty to such able-bodied seamen
"enter into his Majesty's service at that port, and have also,
ith every fafe opportunity that offers, which is about twice
avear,' lent to their regiment at Gibraltar, present, of porter,
tobacco, soap, #
The frigate which engaged the Ariadne is La Aigle private
flip of war, belonging to St. Maloes, manned with 300 men,
mounting 44 carriage-guns; twenty-eight of which are
wentv-four pounders, and form upon her main-deck, a bat
tery almost irresistible : very few, if any of our frigates, carry
that weight of metal ;—the guns of the Ariadne are only 9
ganders'.—This circumstance considered, reflects the highest
honour on the Captain of tjie English frigate, who had the
fy raver y to engage, and almost the glory of taking a ship so
foperior in force, to the one he commanded. The Chevalier
de Pomerai is Captain of the French frigate.
Lord North is already provided with such an operation of
finance in relation to an entire new book of rates for the cuf
toras, as will astonish those men who have imagined that the
resources of this kingdom are exhausted; it will provide for
no less than three years of the war at 14, 16 and 18 millions
borrowed.
The political tranfadtions of the present day will form the
most ample'and the mod august materials for the future histo
rian. Perhaps no one period was ever distinguished by so ma
ny important objects and events. The contention between
Britain and her colonies excited the attention of the whole
world, but that attention must now be divided between other
vb^as of equal, if not of more importance; the extirpation of
Spaniel usurpation, wanton cruelty, and avaricious barbarity
from South-America, and the abolition ofßomilh superstition
in the extensive empire of Germany. Should these grand ob
jefts be speedily accomplished, ho^ glorious will be the setting
fan of the eighteenth century!
There was but orfe way lor Joseph of Germany to immor
talize his name, and he deserves immortality not so much for
the excellence of his underdanding fid penetration, in finding
frit that way, as for the soundness of 'his judgment and the
mobility ofhis person in pursuing it. The Prince who volun
tarily enlarges the freedom of his fubjeds, who extends com#
merce, banishes fuperFiiion, regulates the laws, and admini
sters justice, inevitably ihfures thchNe of ids fulness, the gra
titude of posterity, and the veneration of fin pmnTrg poten
tates'. By such heps is Joseph afeending to the pinnacle of
glory!
Should Sir George Rodney withstand the many flattering
overtures made by the patriotick assemblage, and tfcape being
cajoled into oppofitipn, or enticed to the hazard-table, it would
far exceed the greatest of his conquests ; for no man was ever
so beset by such a crew, who are chiefly known by thejr fac
tious noise in. a certain assembly, and their art and canning at
the gaming table.
Rome has been long held up as an example for every brave
and rising nation ; but can there be pointed out a period, when
wmfefled, flie had do contend at once with so many powers as
'are at this time exerting: their utmost againd the possessions of
this little isle of Britain, which, in defiance of their numbers
"and combinations, renders: every effort to subdue her abortive,
and rises with superior luftre in proportion to the addition
of her foes !
