fition of the army, navy and finanees'
and of all employmen1s civil and milt-
tary.
As icon as the whole of this pieSe was
read through, his MajeRy sfked the Plenum'
ifthey would give him their oath to opierVe
this form of government; which being
anfwered in the affirmative, he requiredthe
Immediately to fwear to it, which tbs did
accordingly. HIS MajeRy then required the
loeakers of the REFLECTIVE orders to come
to the table and d5n and zeal the new
form.
After all this ceremony was over, The
King food up and faid, that it was proper
to thank Almighty God for his afiiitance, in
bringing about 70 happy an event, and pull

LONDON, Ang.zs Ii is the general opinion Of
thole who feem beR acquainted with the fe-
cret operations of St. James's that Lord
Marlborough will be again in cfice before
the expiration of twelvemonlh and a We
ry remarkable ipeech of great perfonage
is universally mentioned in confirmation o.
this idea. When Lord Hilfb rough reign
ed, the great perfonsge obferved to The Pre-.
mer, that bis Lordlhip gave up bis employ
ment, with as good a grace as he received
it. " Lord Marlborough, Sir, (returned the
Premier)'is man of fentiment, and never
took an office foley on account Of theasIno

LONDON, Ss9tsmhy 3. The diipute,
and difcqntents of the unhappy natives o
Poland, and the Rates who have affirmed :
power of dividing their country, will at laf
involve Europe in general war. Tn.
court of Vieana is jealous of the Rufiar
power and the Empress does not reiih the
arrogance of the Emperor. The Turks az
fume new courage upon this event, and will
join with the Germans againR the Ruff
fans.
The views of the court of France in ref.
peet to Coriica, mutt undoubtedly route the
Engliih andSPaniih miniGry to oppofe them,
or el(e ;her pufillanimity is not to be par
relied. The French intend making thai
ifland a repoiitory of marine flores the
flores are to be covered with dock, yasd,,
and the building Of ihips is to be their CHIEF
object. The consequences of which ar,
