The Engrf, Journalids er,hanft their fury upon the
the Flatmate of Hanover by the
Frzi.eli. But a moment ago they talked in the mod
lofty Itl itb on the fohjeel 01 the levy in mats. Now,
that they have learnt the exploits of the Duke of
CAM IRIDC P, being n., longer able to chattnt his glut y,
thus drclaim againil the perfidy of Frenchmen. Ac-
c-rding to thcir account, every idea of plaice has
been difitgaided, and the law of nations has been
l'ibit at in the molt barbarous manner. In order to
crrroitelicod there gentlemen. it is neceffary to un-
lh•rnd that there is a fort ofjutlica altogether par-
Ceti: a law of natio:sof a new kind, for the We
awl interen of the Government of Great Britain.

k.v pretend that Fiance has violated the Ger
manic Co:titivation. and that the Ele&or of Hanover
ought not to participate in the quarrels of the King
f England. Hittory and realon reply to there mile-
-14:4: arguments.
According to the celebrated Golden Bull the Elec-
tors cf the Holy Empire hay; the right
of peace or war, as the poffeffors of the grand fiefs in
France formerly had. It is not the firft time that an
Elettor has made war upon the Sovereigns, or that
the Sovereigns have made war upon a patticular
Eleeor. The reign of Charles V. prefents feveral ex
amides of this fad. In the war of feven years, the
Elelor of Hanover, King of England, was feen to.
raife his flandard againft the_lmperial Houfe ; and
when the French army entered the Eleftorate, as a
poireffion of the Englifh Monarch, nobody then
thought of regarding that meafure as contrary to the
law of nations. France, therefore, has an ineonteftible
right of again attacking the King of England in his
Continental poffeffions.
In theft: complaints we may (Lill trace the fpirit of
nmbiti,,n and bad faith which dire.% the Cabinet of
this Monarch. What! in his quality of Knits of
England, he thinks that France endangers the liberty
ct Europe by her nfurpations ; he arms for the quar-
tet of the Kings of the Continent; yet in his quality
of Elcaor of Hanover, in which he is much more in.
terclicd, he has no fault to find with the conduit of
France ; he thinks her a good ally! and be is pleaded
to remain at peace Kith her ! This proves that the
KING of England knows no other law than that of
force, and the Fiedler of Hanover is ftlert only from
weaknefs. Such is the fupreme criterion ofjultice and
injitilicc with rcfpc& to his Majetly. Doubtlefs, could
he light up again the flames of war upon the Conti.'
'tent, could Hanover furnifh an army of 201,000
men, King Glottis would not have pleaded its neu-
trality. Betides, the kind of war which France has
made upon Hanover cannot be confidered as a war
*Tidily againft Hanover in itfelf, but againft Hanover
fo far as it is a potelGon of the Kiwa of England,
and the Hanoverian troops, fo far as they are troops
of the KING of England. In this point of view,
Hanover never has been an inactive fpedator of the
quarrels of England. Hanoverian blood has flowed
in the four quarters of the world for the fervice of a
defpotic company. In the American war, the belt
troops were Hanoverians. In India, in Egypt, every
where, we have teen thole brave foldiers facrificed
to the ambitious rapacity of the Englifh. France
ought to deprive her enemy of the means which would
have been tiled againil her. She has an incontefiible
right to nuts the exportation of the gold and the fol•
doers of the Kowa of England.
This Monarch acknowledges neither treaty nor
law of nation., becaufe he thinks himfelf unatfailable
in his ifie. But, main a favourable wind blow, he
ought to be attacked wherever he can be found. It
is related that a criminal, who had committed mur.
der, fled to a church which had the privilege of an
afylum but as he was entering, the foot which was
yet witbiut the Church was cut off, and the ad was
held lawful. So far it prelims the halm of Cloaca;
It remains to be teen whether his ifiand can terve as
nu afylum again& thc intrepidity of Frenchmen.—

brazens°, isona 6.—To-day the Hanoverian
• troops have left 'Harburg. On the 4th the French
entered Celle; on the 7th they come to Harburg.—
Harburg is on the other fide of the Elbe, oppofite
Hataburgh, only four miles &dant.
On the Bth we taped the French here. The fear
of the war had induced many perfons either to fly or
hid away their property : thefe fears are now much
allayed, efpecially ac the French troops preferve the
bell difcipline and behave very well. The General
in Chief Moaries is, by all accounts, a very amiable,
bra/sane man.
Loris, Jury s.—On the 4th .the French entered
the city of Hanover.
All the countries bordering on Hanover are mark-
ed out by polls on the frontiers.
STAlif fuse 5.—Our ert-ops are gone, and in two
or three days we expdt the French, for whole
reception the Magistrates have taken all neceiNtortyl
assessfures.
Batman. joss 4.—The French do not approach
dm city, and we depend fully on the neutrality al-
lured to the Imperial Cities. On the sth the French
entered Verdcn, and the 6th Rothenburg.
just 5 ( 12 o'clock at night).—Yeßerday.CYCD-
ing a French General entered this city. He imme-
diately waited upon the Chief Burgontallers and
defircd that all Englith property here, under whate-
ver denomination it might be, should be taken pof-
feffion of; and that all Englith failors at prefent to
this place. as well as all other perfons belonging to
the Englith fervice. fhould be-put under arra. As
Coon as this demand was made, the Officer. who had
come with it, went away to General Moarisa.
Hanauer:in, Jury ^.—To day the French are ar-
rived in Harburg. We are in much uncertainty
here concerning the turn things will take. We, how
ever, are moreinclined to hope, that the neutrality of
the city will be refpcaed, than we were come days
back, and even that the communication with Egg-
land will not be cur of. This latter hope, however,
does not kern to coincide with a very prevalent re.

The French General of Brigade, Felts, will enter

necellliry preparation has been made for their re-
