From the London Chronicle, July 2;
To the P RT NTER;
SIR,
A GREAT deal has been said
about the naval armament at
Brest, in order to alarm our
fellow fubjefts, as if an inva
sion of this country required
nothing more than a favourable wind for
three hours, and could be performed as 'eafily,
as commanded. It would greatly contribute
to quiet the minds of rhe people, if they
were to read Lord Bolingbrcke's sentiments
upon this fubjed, expressed in the Craftfman,
which is now in the hands of very few, I shall
beg the favour of you to give to the Public
the following extracts from No, 340 of that
moll excellent paper.
A TRUE BRITON.
- • " NOBODY can be ignorant that the ne
cessary preparations for an effectual i'nvafion
of this inland takes up a great deal of time,
and require such a number of ffiips, .both for
tfanfports and convoys, that all Europe must
be sass asleep if it Should pass unobserved. It
is well known that the Spanish Armada (at
that time the terror of the world) consisted but
of 18,000. men; and it is still frefh in our
memory tha't king William brought over but
14,000 in fix or feveri hundred Blips; so that
nothing but the moftegregious indolence, or
even fotiflinefs, can ever expose us to such an
attempt, without some warning and time for
defence.
“(This seems to have been the case of the
late king James, who very happpily for us,
paid no regard to all the repeated advices from
France, concerning the prince of Orange's
defigp, and could not,be induced to believe it,
till the prince declafed 'his intentions himfelf,
and was preparing to set fail from .Holland.
. “, As to king James's fleet lying.wind-bound
in the mouth of the Thames, when the prince
of Orange failed by, it hath been much doubt
ed whether our deliverer was not, at least; as
much obliged ' to- the affections of the officers
and feameh who coifipofed that fleet, as to the
winds, for his passage to Torbay, without any
molestation. I
; “ But however tlfet affair might stand, it is
certain such a difpofiuon might be made of
our fleet, upon any sapprehenfions of danger,
that it would be exceedingly difficult for any
Considerable squadron to escape us.- The
Spanish invasion of Scotland in the lass reign,
with an army of 300 men, is so very ridicu
lous a proof of our insecurity, that I am
ashamed to „ke any further notice of it,
" But l^t us foppofe that a foreign power
mould conjure up a great'naval armament, all
on a sadden; without any body's.notice, and
find means to steal into England, by the assist
ance of a dark night, of ^favourable wind,
fit I Should be glad to know what they are to
dawhen they get here ; for though they, might
land upon us in such a clandestine manner, I
presume it would not be .altogether so easy for
them to fculk back again, or a very difficult
matter to intercept their supplies.
:“ Suppose, then; that 20,000 meh,, of which
very few can be horse, are tended in England,
without any human probability of'bein, fup
plic'd from abroad ; this army can never reach
20 miles intb the country; for they cannot
put, themfelyes in a.marching posture in Icfs
th,an a, fortnight or three; weeks, and by that
time we may have 100,000 militia down upon
them, whereof io;ooo- shall be horse, and as
marly dragoons as we please 1 ; and if this mi
litia does nothing else but drive the country,
cut off their foragers and ffraggters, posse fs
themselves of the defiles; and intercept pro
visions, their' army m^jf be destroyed in a
short time.
“ If this reasoning is just in any degree, and
it was never yet answered, what danger can
we possibly apprehend from an invasion, when
our militia is backed with a body of fevefal
thousand troops, besides a fufficient number
to man our garrisons, and secure Scotland.
' This was the opinion of the great duke of
Marlborough, ,who declared upon a very im
portant occasion, that he would; undertake to
defeat any body of men which could possibly
be landed upon us by furprize, with only his
own regiment of guards, two or three regi
ments of dragoons, and such a train of artil
lery as he could possibly draw against them ;
whereas they could not possibly bring any with

them of confequence.' Besides, it ought to be
contdered, that, having no fortified towns to
secure tbemfelves till people could come in to
join them, it would be impossible for them to
hand long againii such a force.
“ King William, indeed, found an easy
passage through all these obstacles by a won
derful concurrence of incidents in his favour.
Yet even all these might not have been fuffici
ent, if the way had not been paved for him,
by that well-grounded difafFeftion which had
spread itfelf so generally amongst all ranks of
people, not only in town and country, in the
camp, the fleet, and the court, but amongst
his favourites, his relations, and amoMgff his
very children themselves."
CONSTANTINOPLE, May ^l
W' E are assured that the proportions for
an accommodation, lately prefehted
by the Ruffian Ambassador, are very agree
able to both parties, and we have every reason
to hppe for an accommodation.
The plague still makes great ravages, and
has manfefted itfelf in the Seraglio.
Ratifon, June 10. We are daily in expec-"
tation of hostilities being committed, the two
Courts being so opposite in their demands.
The Baron deßulwitz, the Hanoverian En
voy, in a conference which he lately held with
fever^l Ministers of the Diet, has declared, that
" the King, his Master, was well persuaded
that the conduct of the Court of Vienna is not
only diredly contrary to the laws in general,
but particularly to the capitulation and the lm
perial constitution ; his Majelty could not but
insist oh his request to her Imperial Majesty,
to evacuate the country of Lower Bavaria, of
which they are now in poffeflion, and to give
up entirely their pretensions, jointly with other
claimants, to the decision of a whole Diet af
feinbled for that purpose."
Cleves, June 17. Negotiations between the
Courts of Vienna and Berlin are still carrying
on, but, from the circumstances which tran
spire, nothing tends towards the establishment
of peace. The former obstinately infills on
maintaining the po/Teffions of thole countries
they now occupy, without any regard to the
[Bavarian protections.
Paris, June 11. According to letters from.
Tbuloufe, a considerable .revolt had jug hap
pened there on acepuntof the scarcity of grain.
Paris, June 15. The Marquis d'Almodo
var, the new Ambattador from Spain to Lon-'
don, is'daily expected here on his way to Lon
don, which greatly depreflhs our politicians.
Paris, June 16, The Officers who are to
serve under Marshal Broglio have but just re
ceived their appointment from the War-office.
Among other articUsrhey contain the follow
ing one, that it is bis Majeffy's pleasure that
each shall have but a small equipage.
• Hague, June 25. According to the most
authentic letters from the Empire, received
by a courier this day, all hopes of an accom
modation are at an end ; and it is positively
determined, that trie differences arisen touch
ing the succession of Bavaria will be adjusted
only by dint of arms..
Stockholm, junenz. The King assists daily
at the exercising of the troops, the encamp
ment of which will finifh next week : and then
his Majesty will go to Scania to review the
troops there.
Our Court and that of Denmark have mu
tally agreed that for the future there shall be no
more paid than one tenth penny infiead of one
sixth penny formerly received from all the he
ritages which the Swee'difh fubje&s acquired in
the Holstein, or that the inhabitants of the
Holstein. acquired in the kingdom of Sweden.
Minden, June 16. Great armaments are still
making in the Electorate of Hanover. The
army there is actually increased to 30,000 men,
and an order is arrived to get ready with all
the artillery there.
It has been fignified to all the officers who
cannot or will not serve any longer to give no
tice in time. We are informed, that recruit
ing is carried on with great ardour in the
countries of Brunswick and Hesse, and thana
number of magazines are forming at Dresden,
where feme foreign commissaries are arrived
for that purpose.
