“ January 16th, 1692, at the Congref? of
the Hague, consisting of the Princes of Ger
many, the Imperial,;, the Englilh, Italian,
Spanilh and Dutch Ministers, a declaration
was drawn up, wherein they Solemnly pro
telted before God, that their intentions
were never to make peace with Louis XIV.
until he had made reparation to the Holy
See for whatever he had adted against it;
and till he had annulled and made void all
those infamous proceedings against the Holy
Father, Innocent Xl—Nor till he had iciio
red to each party all he had taken from them
since the peace of Munftet—Nor till he had
restored to the Protellants of France all
their pofleffions and goods, and an entire li
berty of confidence— Nor till the Estates of
the Kingdom of France Ihould be established
in their ancient Liberties ; so that the Cler
gy, the Nobility, and the third Estate might
enjoy their ancient and lawful privi-„
leges -Nor till iheir Kings, for the fu
ture should be obliged to call together the
laid Estate when they desired any supply,
without whom they should not raise any mo
ney on any pretence whatever, and till the
Parliaments of that Kingdom were restored
to their just rights.—And the Confederates
invited the fubjeds of France to join with
them in this undertaking, for restoring them
their rights and liberties ; threatening ru
in and devaluation to those that refuted;
But how much the French regarded this
threat, the following fads will ihew :

“ June sth, 1692. The town of Namur
Surrendered to the French.
“ August 3d. A battle was fought at S:e
inkirk, the Confederates were commanded
by King William in perlon, and the French
by the Duke of Luxemburgh—the Confede
rates were forced to retreat with the loss of
several thousand brave officers and soldiers.
•* June 16th» 1693. Admiral Rook with
twenty-three men of v/ar, having the Tur
key fleet under his convoy, was attacked off
Cape Sc. Vincent by the whole French fleet,
under rhe command of Admiral Tourville,
12 Englifti and Dutch men of war, and above
fqur (core merchantmen were taken or de*
flroyed by the French.

commanded by King William, was entirely
defeated by the . French, under the com
mand of Luxemburgh^atLenden,ioßrabant.

might be put under better regulations than
it has been in time pall, and have reafonto
hope that the incorporation of the New-
Hamplhire Medical Society (if properly at
tended to by the Fellows) will produce effeds
greatly beneficial to the community, by en
couraging genius and learning in the Medi
dical Science, and difepuraging important
and bold pretenders from pradifing an art of
which they have no knowledge.
That the Members of the Society may he

joy the exalted pleasure and fatisfadion that
arise from a consciousness that they have con

” July 26th, 1697. The Earl or Portland,
and Marlhal Bouffiers, adjuttcd the differen
ces between King William and the F ench
King near Brufleis, wnhoat the privity of«-
ny of the Allies, who 'reding at Ryf
wick : And Sept. 11, :■.» peace was signed
between France, Great-Britain, Spain, and
Holland, and ratified by King William at
Loo, the 15th. King William concluded
this peace, without the concurrence of the
Emperor and Empire, and left mein to con
tend alone with France.”
Thus did this nation (who at that time
were ipoken of by the Englilh as ragged,half
flarved Frenchmen, fed on j'rog ioup) defy
and triumph over a combination of enemies
nearly equal to the prelent, ard upon the
Ume ground.
From this piece of hiflory, the friends of
France, of humanity and equality,may learn
two important points. Firtt, That one hun
dred years ago, the miseries and iufferings cf
the French mtton, from a cruel government
and policy, was not a mere vulgar notion,
but a real grievance,that employed the Cou
ncils and arms of nearly ail Europe to redress
it. And secondly, That this fame French
people, under this cruel government, badly
clothed and fed,by dint of numbers, bravery,
activity ai d ingenuity, were a match tor E
ngland, the Emperor, ana the Frinces of Ger
many, the Dutch, Italy and Spain.—Good
Heavens 1 of what contradictions are men ca
pable : —ln 1692, the Princes of Europe
pledge themlelves to their God and to each
other, that they will reform the abuses of the
French government, and mend the condition
of the people,but aje not able to do it. The
French groan under these increasing abuses
one hundred years longer, and then rife to
gether and break their chains. And 10l these
lame Princes, combine, with the most Hero
dian ferocity, to exterminate the people of
France,for doing of themlelves,and tor them
lelves, what the Princes wished aca attempt
ed in vain to do for them.
Kings and hereditary PrincesTrom Phara
oh ano Rehoboim, down to the Fredericks
and Georges of our time,have been just as be
neficial to the human race, as ichool-boys
have been to the race of sparrows.— They
have killed more men by kindness, in .ad
miniflering the benefits of good government,
than have brendettreyed by famioe t pefliknce 4
earthquakes,and every other scourge to which
men ase liable.—Our late Most Gracious
Sovereign, in the richness of his clemency,
and the fulnefs of his Royal mercy, pat a*
bout 150,000 of his very good fubjefte ofA
merica to death,to convince them how to live
comfortably, and after all failed of convic
tion. The present combination of Princes ia
Europe, actuated by the noble and godlike
motives of bettering the condition cf man
kind, are about to teach rhe roost polifbed
and enlightened nation in the world, that
they are wholly enabled, to manage their
own affairs ; and that they mutt receive a
good plan of government for them, viz- All
the natives and inhabitants of France, to be
divided into three grand divisions; thrift aa
he editary nobility ; the zd,foldiers; and the
3d, commoners, or tiers etat; in plain lan
guage,bewers of wood,&drawers est water; so
that e very common man in France shall have
two matters, the one called a civil; officer or
mailer, who holds a pen and paper, and
marks down how much he mutt pay to gov
ernment a year ; the fecond,called a military
officer, that is, anencivil matter, who carried
a bayonet, and pricks him on in case be don’t
pay in season. The two firft divisions are to
eat the egg, the third estate the shell and
the broth ; the two firft divisions w’U
be taught to fight and read, and keep the
third to hard labour and poor living- But
we trust, and sincerely believe, that the fame
wit, adivity and bravery, that have main
rained their territory and reputation, amidst
surrounding enemies for ages pafc
fappcrc them, to verify by prafiife and ex
ample the truth of that position, ®ade by one
of their own writers, that mankind may be
happy without Kings.
