Another proclamat'wn is shortly echct

forbid the scurrilous publicutions with
which the friends of administratioo say the
publick prints daily abound.
The French king has issued orders to his
several intend-ma, ctthroughout his king

formed wiihin their several districts.

Sept 12. It is asserted, that a number
of petitions are preparing to be presented
to the House of Commons, at the ensuing
meeting, requesting that measures may
be taken to restore tranquillity between
Great Britain and the American colonies.

Dnstm, Aug. 16. It is confidently
saidrthat sir slohn Blaquiere is commisiion
edfio propo e the longidreaded land-tart,
and<tbat it will be laid before parliament
early in the next seslion. The reason sor
asking it. is to be the American war. Is
there an honest man'in the kingdom will
azree to this ? When the representatives
o a nation are bribed and corrupted by
the crown, there is no security for the
people but an appeal to God. This is a
mastim which America seems to pursue
vwrth vigour; and as their cause is just,
all good men hope it will. be crowned
with success. _ ss '
Several recruiting parties have, within
these sew days, been beating up for re

of three parties have been able only to pro
cure one volunteer, and he Was so far
under size, and so miserable issn appearance,
that he was discharged when brought
before the general who Was to pass' him.
The recruitin r parties in the North have
met with the sinne bad success, and it is
thought that in 'the whole kingdom of
Ireland there will not be sound twenty
men who Will be hired to attack their rela
tions in America.
