HE flair of M.de Graffe, is what interests
'^ cunobty of the public at present.
Admiral had at firft done so much justice to
'i ™ dreull , as to Hy, that he had received as
much afliftance from him, as the unhappy circum
itance of the engagement permitted. Now, M.
de Grade accufcs him direftly, and thus Teems to"
be wanting in consistency with himfelfo ,This dis
parity of condu&, towards a man so generally
eftcemed as M. de Vaudreuil, keeps the minds of
the people in suspense. They are grieved to find
recrimination of that kind, in an affair in which
truth alone ought to enlighten the judges.
April 30. - Within these few days, the afpe& of
^, ai rs at Versailles has seemed to indicate that
tome great events were in embryo. Yesterday a
„ counc]l was held; and it is asserted, that
ydha has difcovei ed some designs that, as well as
the peremptory style in which The has declared sh e
will support them, have greatly excited the atten
tion of our court. It appears, that the views of
the Empress are not concealed, either from the
Lmperor or the court of England.,
It is reported, that the different banking-houses
expect to receive no less than to the amount of
130.000,000 of livres, Tournois, in hard piaftres,
' by 'be; mules now on their journey from Cadiz.
There is an abfolute,overflow of cash here, as well
as at Bourdeaux and Marseilles; it is only in the
distant provinces where the circulation of coin
Magnates. ~
May 6. It is pid that the Courts of France and
England, demand of the Divan, permiflion to
JJ^dcon the Black Sea, which is navigable only
May 24. It is reported, thatTH&rnrS tfL.^^k —
will fhortlv set out for the Court of England, in
vested with powers to negociate a commercial treaty.
We are allured, "that the American Congress, a$
a testimony of gratitude for the protection afforded
to the United States, have come to the resolution
of presenting to our Sovereign, four {hips of the
line; one of which to be called the Congress,
will be of 110 guns, and the other three cf 74
guns each..
L ONDO N, sane st.
The remains of Sir Eyre Coote, the late Com
mander in Chief, in the East-Indies, are brought in
a fliip just arrived. His remains are to be interned
at Rockburne, in Wiltfhire.
Arhidft all the diffractions which at present
exist in Holland, ,a very lingular circumstance has
occurred: The patriots, who are the French party,
have by their intrigues, found out and produced a
written engagement, executed eighteen vears ago,
between the Prince Stadtholder, and Lewis, Duke
of Brunswick; wherein the former binds himfelf
to follow implicitly, the advice and direction of
the Duke, in all matters of public concern. The
execution of the deed is witnessed by Mr. Van
Blyfwick, thc Grand Penfionary of Holland, who
is now one of the leaders of the French party.
The Penfionary muff feel himfelf in a very aukward
predicament, if, according to the spirit of His
party, he now takes any hep to condemn that a&
of the Stadtholder, which, at the date cf its exe
cution, he was aiding and instrumental to.
sane 3. By Saturday's Dutch mail was received
the following authentic copy of the answer deli
vered by the Stadtholder, to the Deputies, Appointed
by the States of Holland and Weft Friezeland, to
_ enquire ipto .the druth of a .report, charging his
Highness Willi having entered into a written agree
ment with the Duke of Brunswick, whose advice
the Prince engaged to follow exclusively.
" I make no difficulty to put ip my answer,
which I request the gentlemen Deputies will report
tp the States of Holland and Weft FriezeLnd. I
am no ways biaffed or interrupted by Ge Field
Marshal Duke, of Brunswick, in my disposition,
to give inch orders as might have tended to Green
the frontiers of that State, from any attack what
ever. And, although lam net bound to give an
account of my conduH, as Captain-General of the
Union, to any one, yet I am ready to Shew my
compliance to the desire of their great and noble,
Mightinesses, by communicating to them, if agree
able, the reasons and motives by which ! have
been induced not to fend any great number of troops
towards the frontiers, before the Stages entering
into thc resolution come to on thc 7th inflant.
