F

Riday the 11th inft. N. S. The states

general of the united provinces refolved to negotiate the fum of 7,500,000 Florins by way of lottery, on account of the generality: This lottery is to confift of 7500 tickets, of 1000 Florins each, one half to be paid in ready money, and the other in government bil's for things furnifhed, or fervices performed for the state, fince 1741 inclufive: The highest prize to be 100,000 Florins, and the lowest 1000: The poffeffors to have three and a half per cent. intereft, to commence the ift of January next, and the principal to be paid in 34 years: And to encourage people to become adventurers, the whole amount of the prizes is to be 8,000,000 of Florins; fo that the ftate must pay 500,000 Florins more than it receives; which fhews, that the people of Holland are not fuch fools as they are in other countries, where the adventurers often pay a premium for leave to risk their money in a lottery.

As the riotous fpirit ftill continues among the people in the united provinces, a dangerous infurrection happened the first of this month at Holwert and Ternaard in Friefland, where a great number of the common people affembled in fuch arms as they could provide, with a design to fet afide the affeffment lately established *. This infarrection was, it feems, defigned to be general all over the province, but it broke out at Holwert three days before the appointed time, which gave the magistrates an opportunity to prevent its coming to a head in any other place; and at Holwert it was eafily quelled by fending thither a detachment from the garifon Leewarden.

From Paris we hear, that his excellency the earl of Albemarle, the British ambatfador, arrived there the 24th inft. N. S. and from the fame place we have an account, that there is a prodigious fcarcity of corn in all the fouthern provinces of France, where it has not for fome time been under tez livres a bufhel, and that at Lyons it now fells for 22; but his most chriftian majesty has or. dered his intendants to endeavour to furnish them with fuch a quantity of all forts, as may fupply their prefent neceffities.

From Spain we are advifed, that his catholick majefty has obtained from the pope a bull. impowering him to raise three per cent, out of all church revenues in Peru and Mexico annually, which it's thought will add greatly to the publick revenue of that monarchy: That his majefty has fent the strictest orders to all the governors in America, to put an end to the illicit trade carried on there by foreigners; and that the rich fleet under admiral Reggio from the Havanna was arrived at Corunna, with a vast quantity of treafure on board, befides other valuable effects.

Our foreign Gazettes have not yet given any certain account of the young pretender, but the most probable is that we had about a month fince from Bologna, of his being incog. at a country houfe between that city and Ferrara. However, letters by the laft mail from Rome fay, that he still continues incognito at Venice, and that the pope had fent for the cardinal his brother, and defired him to use his intereft with his father, to manage matters fo as to get him to return to Rome,

From Malta we have an account of that Ifland's having been in the most imminent danger of being delivered up to the Turks, by a confpiracy among the flaves, fet on foot and contrived by the Babaw of Rhodes, who has been for fome time a prifoner there, but allowed to go at large upon the folicitations of France. The confpirators had laid their plot to maffacre the grand mafter, and the knights, upon the festival. of St. Peter and St. Paul, on which day the inhabitants of Malta refort in great numbers to pay their devotions at Veletta, a place upon the island celebrated on account of St. Paul's being fhipwreck'd there, as he was going to Rome; fo that the city feems yearly on that day as if it were deferted. The confpirators had, it seems, a correspondence with the Ottoman port, and expected that several Turkish armed veffels and a fquadron of Barbary corfairs, would by that day be hovering upon the coafts of that inland to affift them in their defign; but the whole was difcovered by a Gracian merchant, who gave private intelligence of it to the grand mafter and by that means all the conípirators were seized at once.

And from Berne, in Swiffer land, we have an account of a dangerous confpiracy's having been lately discovered there, the defign of which was to have overturned the prefent government, and, it is faid, to have murdered all the members of the prefent regency: It was to have been executed in this manner: In the night between the <th and 6th inft. N. S. one lieutenant Fouetter was to find accefs to the fecretary who kept the keys of the city gates, whom he was to murder, and by that means poffefs himself of the keys : After which he was to run directly and open one of the city gates, to let in a number of armed pealants, who were to be ready for that purpose, and being joined with their affociates in the city, they were to seize upon and confine or murder all the prefent magiftrates, and every one that offered any refiftance: Then their chief leader, one capt. Henzi, was to have been proclaimed dictator, conful, and deliverer of the republick of Berne, as appears by a manifesto they had prepared to publifh, which has been fince feized.

See our Magazine for July laf, p. 335, and that for January laft, p. 47.
