All the attempts of the King of Sweden to renew
the armilice upon any other conditions than the fur.

holtilities continued in the environs of that fortrefs ;

MUNICH, JULY aS.
Our Government is engaged in forming a new
fyflem of taxation ; this, it is Paid, will be extremely
beneficial for the country, as it will confiderably fa-
cilitate the difcharge of the public debt ; and though
the penfions, annuities, &c. will be regularly paid,
there is no idea of bringing paper into circulation
again. The public obferve with great fatisfailion
that the King is very often prefent at the confer-
, ences held on this occafion. His MaOky, it is laid,
urn the payment of the annuities, &c. in ar-
rear, as the moil certain mode of reaoring thecredit

Order being reftored in the Voralberg, a part of
the troops have been withdrawn. The affeetion of
the 'Fyrolefe for the Hcufe of Auftria has taken a

upon the belt means of reforming the abufes which
have crept into the Government of that country.

The town of Rovigno was yellerday bombarded

board, and defired them to make for the port of
Lulin. The Captain of the bark, however, inftead
of obeying this order, made f-r Port Rovigno, hav•
ing previouily made the three Englithmen drunk.—
The Englith Captain, having form received informa•
tion or this circumftance, fent a flag of truce to Ro•
vigor) to demand the bark. The Magiftrate of the
town, however, replied, that he could not give up
the bark without orders from the Commandant at
Cape ; and accordingly he fent a meilinger

have made for thofe contingent and unforefeen
fer-

farY, his Majefty has the greateii fatisfailion of recog•
nizing the wifdom wherewith, in a time of extraor-

demands which thofe difficulties may occifion.
41 MY LORDS ♦ND GINTLEMIN,

ed His Majefty commands us to afTure you, that
he deeply deplores the unfortunate iiTue of the war

on the Continent.

" The immenfe extenflon of the power and influ-
ence of France, and the undifguifed determination
of the enemy to employ the means and refources
of thofe countries which he poffeifes or controult for
the purpore of effeeing the ruin of his kingdom, un-
doubtedly prefent a formidable view of the difficulties
and dangers which this country has to encounter.
" But his Male(ly truth, that the loyal and brave
People over whom he reigns are not to be daunted
or difheartened.

" From the recolleftion of thole difficulties un-
der which his People have fuccefsfully ftruggled,
and of thole dangers which they have happily fur-
mounted, his Majefy derives the confolation of be-
lieving, that the fame fpirit and perfeverance which
have hitherto remained unbroken will continue to be
_ _

exerted with unabated vigour and fuccefs.
" And while his Majefly commands us to repeat
the affurances of his eminent readinefs to entertain
any propofa Is that may lead to a fecure and honour..
able Peace, he commands us at the (erne time to ez•
prefs his confidence that his Parliament and his People
will feel with him the nectifity of perfevering in !hoc!,
vigorous efforts winch alone can gis4 the charafter
of honour to any negotiation, or the ptofpee of feta-
rity or permanency to any peace.
His Majefty, therefore, trufls that his Parlia•
ment and People will always be ready to fupport
him in every Meafure which may be neceffary to de•
feat the defigns of his enemies againft the indepen-
dence of his Majefty's dominions, and to maintain,
againft any undue pretenfions, and againft any hoffile
Confederacy, thole jutl rights, which his Majefiy is
always delimits to exercife with temper and modem-
Lion; but which, as effential to the honour of his
Crown, and true interelis of his People, he is deter.-
' mined never to furrender."
Then a Cornmillion for proroguing the. Parliament
was read ; after which the Lord Chancellor Paid ;
• "MY LORDS IND GENTLEMEN,
" By virtue of his Majeny's CommiMon under the
