FOREIGN AFFAIRS, 1751 191

HE election of a king of the Romans

is now the most important affair upon the carpet in Europe. This election is #igorously pushed by the court at Hanover, and oppofed as vigorously, tho' not directly, by the court of Pruffia. Upon this head his Pruffian majesty has wrote à long letter to the elector of Mentz, the fubftance of which is as follows:

as a depriving them of their right to govern during an interregnum. And, laftly, he con fiders the advantages the empire enjoys by the free election of an emperor, and concludes that no motives fór an election can now be fuggefted, but what will be equally ftrong during the life of every future em peror; that no election can be free whilft the emperor is alive, and the imperial au thority and influence in full vigour ; confequently, the election of an emperor would at laft become an empty formality, and Germany, under the name of an elective government, would become an hereditary empire."

His Pruffian majefty has wrote letters to the fame effect to fome of the other electors of the empire; and tho' the French court have declared, that they will no way intermeddle in this election of a king of the Romans, unless called upon as guaran ties of the treaty of Weftphalia, yet one may easily fee what is meant by this exception and either prevailed on by that ; court, or by the reafons offered by the court of Berlin, the elector of Cologne has already renounced his engagements with the maritime powers, and declared by his minifters at Ratisbon, that he adheres to the fentiments of the king of Pruffia and elector Palatine, in regard to this election. On the other hand, we are told from Dref. den, that a treaty of fubfidy is on the carpet between that court and the court of London; whereby his Britannick majefty is to be furnished, in cafe of need, with a body of Saxon troops, &c.

"His majefty joins with his electoral highness in thinking, that it is a matter of the utmost importance; that it fuppofes a preffing neceffity; that the good of the empire ought to be the defign of it; and that it ought to be managed with the greateft circumfpection, and in the manner most conformable to the laws and constitutions of the empire. But he fays, that before the electoral college could proceed to an election, there was a preliminary question to be determined, viz. Whether it be proper to proceed to the election of a king of the Romans. As to which difficulties would arife, as well in regard to the persons who would pretend a right to be admitted to the deliberations, as about the manner of thofe deliberations, and the motives requifite to authorise the election, and establish the neceffity of it. He then fhews, that the golden bull affords no authority for deciding this question; but on the contrary seems to declare, that no fuch queftion can ever arife, because it regulates those elections only that are to be made upon a vacancy of the Imperial throne; and during fuch a vacancy provides for the government of the empire, by cftablishing perpetual vicars. The peace of Weftphalia, he fays, is the firft law of the empire that mentions fuch an election as now intended, and fays, de electione Romanorum regum ex communi ftatuum confenfu agatur et fatuatur, which in his opinion feems to give an indisputable right to all the states of the empire to concur in the decifion of the preliminary queftion, and to judge of the cafe of neceffity, as alfo of the motives that ought to warrant this election; and to deprive them of this right might make them implore the affiftance of those foreign powers who have guarantied the peace of Weftphalia. to the motives for fuch an election, he says, the Imperial capitulations mention only three. outrage. 1. If any emperor fhould be long abfent. 2. If grown incapable. 3. If any other care of neceffity should occur. The laft of these can now, he fays, be the only motive; and this neceffity should be grounded on a fituation of affairs out of the ordinary course of things; which even the advocates for this election do not pretend at prefent. Then he fhews the danger of chufing a minor, and fettling a guar dianship, which the vicars would confider

As

The last letters from Petersburgh advise, that three young ladies, daughters of a general officer, had been brought thither from Revel under a guard, they having declared to a person in a high office there, that they had matters of the greatest importance to reveal; and that having been examined in the prefence of her Russian majesty, an officer of rank had been put under arrest. From the fame place we hear, that fome hordes of Tartars have lately made an ir ruption into the Ruffian territories, and committed great depredations, but had retired upon the approach of the troops; and that a courier has been dispatched to Conftantinople to demand fatisfaction for this

On the 6th inft. N. S. Frederick, king of Sweden, and landgrave of Heffe-Caffel, died at Stockholm, foon after which the prince fucceffor, Adolphus Frederick, was proclaimed king, and has fince wrote a letter with his own hand to the empress of Ruffia, affuring her of his intention to preferve the present form of government in Sweden.
