'depending entirely upon commerce,

hitherto continued tranquil. The good
faith of these chiefs is,, however, little
to be trust-d. The City of Nantes has
sent deputies to the Convention, to de
mand a reinforcement of the garrison
and a supply of provisions more especi
ally. The latter they can no longer
receive by sea, in consequence of the
English being masters of the coast.

A rupture between Greafßrimh and
Spain is now very generally spoken of
in consequence of the cession of the
Spanish partof St. Domingo to the
French. That this is a breach of the
celebrated Treaty of Utrecht, it evi
dent from the following article, which
we have extracted from it:
" And that more strong and full pre
cautions may be taken on Mll sides, as
aforefaid, concerning the navigation
and commercto the Weftindies, it ir
hereby further agreed and concluded,
that neither the Catholic King, nor any
of his heirs and successors wharfoever,
ilia fell, pawrf; transfer, or by any
name, alienate from• them and the
Crown of Spain to the French, or to
any other nations whatever, any lands,
dominions, or territories, dr any part
thereof, belonging to Spain in Ameri
ca. On the contrary, that the Spanish
dominions ih the Weftindies may be
preserved whole rind entire, the Qneen
of Greatbritain engages, that she will
endeavour, & give assistance to that the
ancient limits of their dominions in the
Weftindies be restored and fettled as
they flood in the time of the above said
Catholic King, Charles 11. if it shall 1
appear that they have in any manner, or
Under any pretence, been broken into,

Our Utterrof the 29th ult. from War

The explanation given by the Span
ifn Ambassador, of the Peace so unex
periedly entered into with the French
republic by his court, is, " that if such
treaty had not been ratified, the French
must have marched into Madrid, within
a month from that day."
The French, by being possessed ofthe
whole iflind of St. Domingo, will be
enabled to annoy our commerce to and
from the island of Jamaica io a manner,
of which all our planters are but too feri
fible..

Letters from the Hague of

Dutch fleet in the Texel, con
fining of twelve ships of the

a second squadron of fix ships

oportunity, fail into the North
Sea.
Letters from Ofnaburgh of
the ift instant anounce, that
the State of the Electorate of
Hanover, will not permit any
army of Dutch Emigrants, to
colled on the Hanoverian teri
gories. and they have pofit&ly
refuted to give them any aflif
tance. The Hanoverians look
upon their country as ab
solutely loft, if a speedy peace
does not take place, and should
any thing hostile be undertaken
from that quarter, the French
have threatened to cross the
Rhine at Emmerick, and to
take possession of the whole El
ectorate..
The Ruffian flceet in the
Downs observes the most RriCt

their rigging set up in the fame

National flag is striped, red,

The national debt of Spain
is said to have increased to the
amount of 200,000 millions of
piasters since the commence
ment of the war with France.
Ninety-fix millions are to be
raised towards defraying it up
on the possessions of the Church.
The loss of lives is estimated at
60,000.,
Some of the continental pa
pers state, that to fettle the dis
pute, refpeeting Poland, it is
agreed that the river Bog is to
be the frontier between the Ruf
fian and Prussian territory.—
Austria is to holdthe Palatinate
of Cracovia.
Our late Treaty of Peace and
Amity with the Americans, is
said to have met with the most
serious animadversions from a
quarter the least to be fufpeCl
ed, considering its uniform and
implicit obedience to the will
of Miniflers. The East India
Company have taken alarm at
the article, which gives the A
mericans a free trade to India ;
they contend it to be a violent
infraction of their Treaty with
Government, and have expres
sed their astonishment that his
Majesty's ministers ffiould with
out the least previous intima
tion to them, have at one stroke
laid open their territories and
their trade to the most enrer
prifing and flourishing nation
upon earth; a trade, which
has been rigorously prohibited
to the great body of British fub
je&s for upwards of a century
past, and the monopoly of
which, the company themselves
have recently purchased for
twenty years, at the enormous
premium of 5 hundred thousand
pounds per annum, ofle year of
which has been actually paid.
This fubjeft, which, it is said,
is shortly to be difeuffed in a
General Court, will raise a cu
rious question among the learn
ed in the law of nations, viz.
Whether a country, has a right
to purchase peace of a foreign
state, at the expence of exclu
sive privileges, which have been
, previously fold and guaranteed,
to certain of its own fubje&s,
without their cenfent or in
demnification?
The most important article
brought by the Paris Papers,
is the rejection of the proposi
tion made by the Abbe Syeyes,
of a Constitutional Jury! This,
as citizens of the world, we muR
lament. The experiment was
well worth the trial. An insu
lated body, apointed to check
the excesses, without interfering
in the powers of Government,
we apprehend is flill a deside
ratum.

* A Cabinet Council was held'
on the 4th inst. in consequence
of the news of Peace between^
France and Spain, to deliberate
on the propriety of listening to'
terms of accomodation. Mr.
Pitt, Mr. Dundas, and Lord
Grenville, were for Peace.—
Mr. Windham, the Duke of
Portland, and Earl Spencer,
were strong for continuing the
war. The point is not decided.
But in expectation of peaces
stocks continue r.fing ; and the
conclusion of a cartel amounts
to a kind of acknowledgement,
that the French Convention

AUGUST 12.
A rupture between Great;
Britain and Spain is now very
generally spoken of, in conse
quence of the cession of the
pare of St. Domingo to the
French. That this is a breach
of the celebrated Treaty of Ut
recht, is evident —to which uc
refer our readers.
If providing for his own fafe
ty, by peace, when he could de-<
fend himfelf no longer, be a 4
good cause of going to war
with the king of Spain,we shall
soon have a good cause for going
toa war with the elector of
Hanover.

ofjoining this expedition against

dreadful example of Qaiberon^
before their eyes, we can scarce
ly believe, that Ministers will
venture on such a project, andt
Gill less, that they presume to
devote their countrymen as its!
victims.
Some effort of magnitude is
in contemplation on our part,
