rial Majesty and the Archduke Maximilian through the grand

A letter from Lisbon, dated March the 23d, fays, " The
only intelligence worth mentioning, and which may be depend
ed on as a fact, is, that the day before yesterday, arrived, in
a vessel from Marinhas, a French officer in the Spanish service,
who came from Quito, and brings intelligence that the natives
are all up in arms against the Spanish government in those parts.
He came down the river Amazon, and so to Marinhas, as the
ihorteft way to bring intelligence to Spain.—lt seems they
massacre all the Spaniards they find, so that they are in the
utmost con Vernation, At Cadiz they know something of this,
but there are express orders not to talk on the fubjed. If the
insurgents should get possession of Quito, the Spaniards may
find their govern rent at an end in the kingdom of Peru."
The following important information, received by the Flan
der's mail, which arrived this day, must prove in the.higheft
degree acceptable to every Englishman, not only as being the
firft indication of an approaching peace with Holland, but as
containing the most unequivocal demonstration that the go
vernment of this country has at last fallen into hands, where
zeal and activity will bear an equal proportion with unrirafed
talents; in extricating us from our present distress. Mn/fbx
had not been a week in office when he undertook the negocia
tion below described, which was more than his predecessors
had attempted for at least a twelve-month back.
Hague, (Holland) April a. The express which Prince Gal
litzin and Mr. de Markow, the Ruffian Ministers, dispatched
some time ago to London, being returned, those Ministers
presented this day, the following Memorial to the States-
General:
THE undersigned Ministers to the Empress of All the Ruffias,
anting in conformity to the orders which they have received, to
accelerate, as much as lies in their power, the salutary work
of mediation, which was referred to her Imperial Majesty,
hasten to communicate to your High Mightinesses, the annexed
copy of a letter to Mr. Simolin, the Empress's Minister at the
Court of London, from the Honourable Mr. Fox, Secretary
of State to his Britannick Majesty. Your Mightinesses will
there percei^Z^intentions of his Britannick Majesty for a
sincere recorcTation with the Republick, upon the basis esta
blished by yourselves, in your resolution of the 4th of last
March, by which you accept afrefh of the mediation of her
Imperial Majesty. The preliminary concession made on the
part of Great-Britain, on the cardinal point of the treaty of
THE
1674, seems to have smoothed every difficulty which, till now,
opposed the opening of a negociation for a decisive peace.
If, in the mean time, a fufpertnon of arms; as proposed in thd
above-mentioned letter, should be judged agreeable to the in
terests of the nation, nothing could be more so to the general
views of humanity, which animate the Empref, and to the par
ticular sentiments of good will and affection, which the bears to
wardsthefe States. This mcafure uniting the double advantage
of preventing an unnecessary effufion ofblood, and of restoring
to the Republick, from the fame moment, the exercise of the
rights of the liberty of navigation and commerce, of which all
the neutral nations enjoy, particularly those which have acceded
to the principle of the Armed Neutrality.
Fully confiding in the pacific disposition so analogous to the
true welfare of the States, and which your High Mightinesses
have so often profeffed in the most fol. mn and positive manner,
the under-sighed flatter themselves that you will not hesitate to
profit by the communication we have the honour to make to
your High Mightinesses, by taking a speedy and decisive reso
lution for the re -establishment of peace and good harmony with
their ancient ally and friend, upon conditions whereby thew
will find their honour and prosperity equally secured.
(Signed) Prince GALLITZIN.
De MARKOW.
Given at the Hague, 3d April, 1782. ^
The Honourable Mr. Fox's letter to Mr. De Simolin, men
tioned in the Memorial.
SI R,
Having laid before the King an extras of the letter you did
me the honour to write to me from the Prince Gailitzin, and
Mr. De Markow, I have his Majesty's orders to inform you,
that the King is defiious of giving proofs of the sincerity of
his intentions towards their High Mightinesses, and of renew
ing the friendfllip which has been so unfortunately interrupted
between those ancient allies, and ought always to be united by
the bands of mutual intercourse, is ready to enter into a nego
ciation with their high Mightinesses for forming a treaty of
peace on the lame footing with the treaty of 1674, between his
Majesty and the Republic, and that to facilitate the execution
of an objed, which his Majesty has so much at heart, the King:
is ready to give immediate orders for a suspension of arms if
the Lords States-General, on their parts, shall judge fuc'h a
measure conducive to the end proposed.
His Majesty commands me, Sir, to explain to you his senti
ments upon this important objed, and request that you will
communicate them to her Imperial Majesty's Ministers to
their High Mightinesses, that it may be made known without
the smallest delay, to the Ministers ofthe Republick; judging
this measure in conjunction with the mediation and good offi
ces of her Imperial Majesty, the most likely to succeed in put
ting an end to the source of war, which unfortunately fubfitte
between the two nations. I have the honour to be. with the
most perfect ref,e&,
(Signed) CHARLES FOX.
We learn, that upon receipt of the above papers, the Assem
bly of the States of our Province has been held a week sooner
than it was to have been, and their Noble and Great Mighti
nesses have been convened for next week.
London, April to. Letters from Paris mention, that orders
were arrived from America to Dr. Franklin, to retain home
as soon as possible, if the French Ministry refufe to withdraw
their troops from America, as their behaviour is very arbitrary
and oppressive. It is further added, that the DoC t r has decla
red his intention of going to the Hague before he embarks for
America, there being an important affair to fettle by him and
Mr. Adams before he returns home.
A plan is now revived, and under confederation, to lease out
the forefts and waste grounds in the kingdom in little farms, at
a final! rent, to industrious families.
April it. This day the stocks rose if per cent, on account
of every effort being made in order to bring about a negociati^
with the states of Holland, which at present there is every rea—
son to believe will soon take place.
A private letter from the Hague fays, “ The Duke de Van
guyon, the French Ambassador, delivered a memorial
to their High Mightinesses, in which he sets forth th( great ad,
vantage that would arise to that country by acknowledging the
Americans independent, by opening, wide field for trade and
commerce, not only with the Americans, but with the Weft-
India islands, Which they have conquered from the Engbfh,
The hope of gain is likely to induce their High Mightinesses to
receive Mr. Adams as Ambafodor from the United States of
America, which, though agreeable to many, lias caused great
difeontent among some of the lower class of people, who think
it will be the means of England refufing to agree to a peace."
We hear that a new arrangement, or rather a coalition,' is
to take place in a few days ; that the Marquis of Rockingham
is to be created a Duke, with remainder, failing his heirs male,
to his nephew, the Earl of Fitzwilliam: That Lord John Ca
yendifh is to be created a Vifeount of Great-Britain ; and that
Lora North is to be called up to the House of Peers, and placed
at the head of the Treasury; he being coafeffedly the ablest
financier in the kingdom.
The Honourable Charles-James Fox is to be Chancellor of
the Exchequer, with the management of the House of Com
mons, and a certainty of the reversion of the Duke of New
castle's place as Auditor.
Mr. John Robinson is to ttfamte his place as political Secre
tary of the Treasury, it having been found that no man is so
equal to that important trust. Lord Viscount Weymouth is
''° x ' ^"' " r ' Ri^^y is to be created Baron
Mdtly, in the county of Essex, with remainder to his nephew.
The war department is to remain entirely with Lord Shel
burne.
Lord Gower is to be placed at the head of the Council.
L Camden to resume the Seals, as Lord Afhburton'g
he ^t. not P errhlt him to undertake so laborious an office.
This happy coalition will give lability to our councils, and
render this Administration as permanent as it is able and ref
pedable.
In the inferior arrangements of office, Sir John Rous, Sir
Charles Bunbury, Sir Charles Davers, Sir Edward Aftley, &c.
will be provided for in honourable situations.
