AGUE, June 20, N. S. His ferene

Hhighness the prince ftadtholder is re

turned from his progrefs through the province of Zealand, having made his publick entry into Flushing on the 4th, where he was installed in quality of marquifs of that place, and he affisted on the 7th at the affembly of the states of the province held at Middleburgh. The people of this province are in great agitation, on account of an ordinance of the ftates, which requires the wine merchants to take an oath, that they will no way endeavour to avoid paying the duries lately impofed upon wines; which oath most of them refufe to take, from whence it would feem that the Dutch have Atill fome fenfe of religion lett among them.

The fly boats and other veffels, which are to be employed this year in the herringfishery, amount to the number of 450.

Paris, June 2, N. S. This day was pubJifhed here his majesty's edict for raising so millions of livres by granting annuities upon the town-houfe and the poft office. The parliament made ft ong remonstrances against it, but at last agreed to its being regiftred, mentioning however, that it was by the most exprefs command of the king; and at the fame time, they requested his majesty, that he would graciously grant to his fubjects a ftated term for the fuppreffion of the 20th penny, or one fhilling in the pound land-tax.-11th. The subscription for the new annuities fills as fuccessfully as could be hoped for. The India company has bought up 4000 muskets, which are to be fent to their fettlements in the Eaft-Indies. A lift of men of war and frigates, in a condition for immediate fervice, is handed about here, whereby it appears, that the number amounts to 96, exclufive of thefe built at Canada, and those now upon the ftocks in the feveral ports of this kingdom.-26th. It is faid, that the court has received letters from M. Bompart, governor of Martinico, importing, that pursuant to the orders fent him, he had caufed to be razed, in the iflands of Tobago, St. Lucia, and Dominico, all the forts, intrenchments, batteries, and other works of defence; that he had likewife withdrawn from those islands the few troops that were therein, as alfo the families that had fettled there of late; and that none were left but old ftagers of different nations, who wanted to ftay to get in this year's crop.

Madrid, May 26, N. S. Mr. Keene has prefented to the miniftry a memorial, of which the following is the fubftance, "That his excellency having been informed, that feveral Englishmen, fubjects of the king his mafter, have taken the liberty of quitting the kingdom to fettle in Spain, in order to work in the manufacture of cloth, stuffs, c. against the exprefs tenor of the laws,

1

and repeated prohibitions made for that purpofe; he therefore befought his Catholick majefty would be pleafed to order, that no more fhould for the future be admitted, and that those who are already come may be fent back." The fathers of the order for redemption of captives are returned from Algiers without any effect, not having been able to redeem fo much as one Spaniard now a flave in that country; because the court of Spain thought it inconfiftent with their dignity, and therefore refused to enter into any treaty with that regency for the exchange or redemption of fome Rays or Algerine officers now captives in Spain; and the Dey fignified to thefe fathers at their departure, that if the faid Rays were not releafed within fix months, the Spanish officers, captives at Algiers, fhould be treated with great rigour.-8th, The Lima Gazette, dated July 2d, 1750, mentions the execution of feveral perfons for a confpiracy against the government, which it speaks of as entirely fuppreffed; but private letters from the fame place, mention feveral other infurrections fince that time.

Lisbon, May 10, N. S. Saturday last a proclamation was published here for preventing luxury, in which however the use of gilt coaches and chariots is allowed, provided they are made in this kingdom.

Genoa, June 9, N. S. Our councils are in the utmost hurry and perplexity about the affairs of Corfica, the French court have ing threatned to withdraw their troops from thence, on account of the ill treat ment they have lately met with from our people in that ifland.

Turin, May 26, N. S. Laft Monday, about feven in the morning, her royal highnefs the duchefs of Savoy was fafely delivered of a prince, and both continue perfectly well. At ten the fame morning the prince was chriftned by the names of Charles-Emanuel, &c.-June 3, The Sieurs Monier, Moris and Co. are become bankrupt here for five millions of livres. This 'tis thought has caufed the bankruptcy of the Sieur Lombardi at Rome for 100.000 crowns, and of Meffis. Bock and Rabi, bankers there, for a confiderable fum each; as alfo of the Sieur le Brun at Turin for 100,000 livres, the Sieur Soutre and Co. at Genoa for 900,000, and a banker at Lyons for 800,000.

Frankfort, June 2, N. S. Several French proteftants are arrived at Hanau, who not being permitted the exercife of their religion in that kingdom, are retiring into thofe parts of Europe where liberty of confcience is allowed. They fay, the edicts against the proteftants are executed all over France with great rigour, but parti. cularly fo in Languedoc.
