“ The Publick begin in a small Degree to
recover from their Surprize; occasioned by the
sudden Departure of the English AmbaSfador ;
and the bed Withers to this Country, hope
that fail Gmething will occur to prevent any
further Rupture between these Provinces and
England, particularly as we hear the Conclu
sion of the Kingof Great-Britain's Manifesto
seems tp leave an Opening for any reasonable
Ibopofitions on the Part of these States. In
the mean Time many Persons among those of
Consequence to these Provinces are very much
for a War with the English ; towards the sup
porting of dhich Sentiments the French have
done all they could, as it is very evident they
have long been endeavouring to foment a
Quarrel between the Republic and England.
Yetterday there was a brilliant Company at
the Stadtholder's Court; and from the good
Humour which prevailed, many People drew
favourable Conclufiuns as to the present State
of Affairs. We anxiously wait for the Arrival
of the English Leiters of the 23d, which will
bringrhe King's Manifefto, relative to which
all that we know at present is only from Re
port."
