was no reward: for though offered in the Courier de le Europe, his fituation did not allow him to take it. You will communicate the whole, on fach part of my letter to Mir. Mickay, as you think proper Extrant of a Lever from Norwich, Nov. 14. "Laft week one of our principal bowics difcharged five hundred hands for want of work! a difireffing circumflance to abundance of families, who will now want bread. The truth is, the trade and manufactures of Norwich: never were fo bad as at prefent. It is faid, they mean to try their hands in the Mancheker way, and tee if they cannot thare in that trade, by imitation of their manufuéture." Nov. 26. Our treaty of trade with the French is no longer impeded by the cambrick ftipulations. The French recide from their propofitions upon this point fo that the fir free importations from Bourdeaux may be ex pected the enfuing fing. Oor hardware and woollens will keep pace with them. : The thortness of the voyage, the quickness of the return, and the abundance of the confamption, will make the trade with France more important than that with any other country. To France alfo, who has no other, who can have no other equal market for her win,the intereft is no lefs ftriking and decifive. Nov. 28. An edi has been iffued out at Paris by the Sovereign, and registered at the Royal Mint, ordering a new coinage, and a general recal of all the gold fpecie. The louis-d'ons of 24 livres currency, brought to the faid Mint, half be taken at the rate of 25 livres each, if offered at any time during the space of four months, after which the faid louis will pass corrent at the rate of 22 livres only. It is hence prefumed that the new coin will be affeffed at the fterling current, at all events it may prove no bad fpeculation for thofe who, having a great deal of cash in their bands will be expeditious in difpofing of it at the above advanced price. It is thought how ever that the innovation will hurt trade in general, as it was experienced in the year 1726, when fuch a reform took place; for which reafon the fate of the curreni Mever underwent any alteration fince the above period.
