W. fair 33-443 F ROM Drefden we have an account, that marthal count Saxe arriv'd there on the 22d inst. N. S. and from Dantzick, that of late feveral large remittances have arrived there from Paris, which were fent directly to Mittau, capital of Courland, in order, as was thought, to accelerate as well as fecure the election of a new sovereign in. to that duchy in favour of the faid marshal. In the mean time, the Ruffians feem to be taking measures to prevent or oppose that election; one column of their troops, returned from Bobemia, having already taken quarters in that duchy, and the other two in its neighbourhood in Livonia; and at the fame time they are making vast proparations for war in all their ports and dominions upon the Balsick. On the other hand, the talk at Paris is, that in cafe of a rupture in the North, marshal Bellifle will be fent with an auxiliary army of 50000 men, to affift the allies of France in that part of the world. From the Hague we have had fince our laft the following advices: That Meffrs. de Catruyck and Pautu returned from North Holland thither the beginning of this month, after having executed the commiffion with which they were charged by the prince ftadtholder, for changing the magistracy of the feveral towns in that part of the province, by virtue of the power given to his highness by the ftates in September last ; fo that the town of Dort is now the only place that has not yet undergone a vifitation by virtue of this commiffion, and confequently the only town where all the old magiftrates ftill continue in the exercise of their office: That the earl of Holderness, the embaffador from Great Britain, with his countefs, and a numerous retinue, arrived there on the 6th inft. N. S. That on the 9th his ferene highness, the prince ftatholder, and next day her royal highness the princess returned from Loo to their house in the wood near the Hague: That at Amfterdam the mob had attack'd feveral meeting-houfes of a new fect of religion lately fet up there, called Hernhutters; upon which the magiftracy of that city have iffued an order, which forbids, under severe penalties, the holding of any fuch conventicles: That the states of Holland have appointed M. Stein to act provifionally as penfionary till their next ordinary meeting, which will be next month: That on the 13th, about ten at night, the fireworks for the peace began to be played off; and every part of them were executed with as much fatisfaction as could be wifhed, and without the least blunder or accident: That on the 23d an extraordinary affembly of the college of the nobles of Holland was held, when the prince stadtholder propofed, that field marthal count Maurice of Naffau, and count Grontsfeld, fhould be admitted into the college; upon which they were unanimous elected, and next morning they were introduced and took the oaths and their feats accordingly, in the affembly of the states of Holland: And that the fame day, vix. the 24th, the ftates general approved and establifhed the fcheme for reftoring the farms by way of collection; tho' a general politax, in proportion to people's revenue, would certainly have been lefs burdenfome upon the poor, and lefs dangerous to the liberties of the people *. From Paris we have had the following accounts: That towards the end of last month, Mr. Yorke, the British minister, waited on the marquis de Puyfieux, to demand a final explanation on the subject of Tobago, when that minifter made him the following declaration, "That the king his mafter had feen with furprize, what an alarm an affair of fo little importance had given in England; that his most chriftian majefty had never any defign of making a fettlement at Tobago; that perfuaded of the good difpofitions of his Britannick majefty to maintain peace and a good understanding between the powers of Europe, he would carefully avoid, on his part, whatever might give the leaft disturbance thereto; and that tho' it be evident that France was in the poffeffion of that ifland towards the middle of last century, it should nevertheless be difpofed of as his Britannick majefty fhould think proper: That before the ift of this month they had launched at Bft, Toulon, and Rocheforte 18 new men of war, from 70 to 80 guns; that they have fince launched four of 70 guns each at Breft; and that a vigorous application is making by feveral rich perfons, for having a company erected and employed to build hips for his majefty's fervice in Canada; on which condition they propose to build truelve annually, at the fame rates for which they are built in the ports of France, and to make his majesty a prefent befides of a complete fixty-gun fhip every year while that contract conti nues. It has not as yet been difcovered, with any certainty, what is become of the young pretender. Some accounts told us he had paffed thro' Warsatu, and was arrived among his relations in Poland: Soon after we had a formal ftory told us of his arriving incog. at Venice; and fince that we have been told of his going from War. faw with one of the Sobieski family to his palace in the country, where it was fupe pofed he would stay till September. • See our laßt, p. 242. 292 I.
