MAROATI, Nov. I.—The violence of the wind,
which has blown eitremely hard fine yeßerday
morning, has prevented the Difpatch from failing
with the Hanoverians, &c. They have, however, no
reafon to regret their delay, as they are furniilied
with good living, and fuch its wanted cloathing have
been Tupplied, drat is to fay alotoß the whole of them.
From one of them, who teems fornewhat more
intelligent than the refl. I have learned that the
French. on the forrender of Welmoden, immediately
took into employ and increafed the pay of the for.
geons attached to the Hanoverian army. My infor-
Inuit, who left Hanover only five weeks ago, Pays.
that there were then about so,ooo French troops in
the Eleflorate, and that the ravages they committed
were intolerable. even to the pooreß peafantry. He
mentioned fonts inftances, which are fcarcely to be
paralleled, even by the condua of the Spaniards to.
wards the natives of Peru. They went on fornewhat
(inoothly for a thort time after they got polfeffion of
the country s but for st coafiderable time back they'
have levied the moR exorbitant contributions. Mon.
TI la obliges the people to advance double pay for
his troops, and he Rates them at any amount he
pleafes. He merely confults the States as to the bell
means of collecting this tee, onchalf of which it is
fuppoled goes into his own private coffers, although
he mentions the whole is to be fairly diftributed
among his forces as a reword for their. By
filch means as there, Massso• and nerals
contrived to enrich theistic'''. in Italy and Germany.
Any Hanoverian who cannot procure caib to pay his
proportion of the contribution, his property. however
poor he may be, is taken and inn:tinily fold. A French. '
ir-rn is almod always the porchafer, except in Come
inliancei, a favoured partifan, who may be a native of

demi), of the contributions. the people are obliged to
forma the foldiery with *ma the whole of their
food. The Wilier' am allowed from their own Bores

only half a pound. of meat and half an ounce of rice
each per day, and the inhabitants, upon whom they
are quartered, are compelled to furnills bread, beer,
&c. This Ifs. comprehends every thing that the
houfe affords ; and if they are not iltisfied with the
fupplies of their hoff, they are authorifed to fell any
property he may poffefs, to procure what they want.
Such want is, to be lure, previonfly fubmitted to a
French Officer, with whom it reds to order the rale
and to difpofe of the prnperty,and to whom he plcafes.

Indeed no inilance has occurred, to the knowledge of

which he has called the German Legion, to be formed
from among the Hanoverian foldiery ; but filch is the
hoz ror which thofe men feel at the idea of entering
the French fervice, that they defect from the country
by hundred., expofing themfelves to the rifle of being
filet by the French outpolls on the frontiers. To pro.
teet them.elves from that they generally travel in
bands of fifty or a hundred ; and they have in many
