Y letters from Bern in Switzerland, of the 31ft uit. N. S. we are informed, that the proceedings on account of the late confpiracy were terminated by a sentence of outlawry, which the great council had paffed against five of the accomplices who had escaped, two of whom they have fince executed in effigy ; but not content with this fhew of an execution, they have promised a reward of 1000 crowns to whomfoever shall produce them living, and 500 if dead, with an entire exemption from punishment, in cafe they kill them by any method or means whatsoever; and it is faid, that the regency will foon publish an authentick account of this whole affair. In the mean time feveral letters from abroad give a different turn to this affair, and one in particular, which seems to come from a friend of the confpirators, has this remarkable conclufion, viz. Very confiderable fums are from time to time drawn from the publick treafury, in order to augment the income of the bailliages'; that is to fay, to encrease the appointments of the lucrative pofts, which thofe families (meaning thofe that have the government in their hands) look upon as part of their patrimony. Provided that an employment be not altogether abject, large appointments are annexed to it, and it is referved for one of the 200. The management of the money which particular persons of the canton have in England, was heretofore an advantage to a merchandizing burgher; but for ten years paft this has been erected into a bailliage, in order to deprive the burghers of it. So that upon the whole, according to a moderate computation, the body call'd the 200, have actually bestowed upon themselves an income of the yearly value of a million of livers bernois, which divided in a juít proportion would make every body easy. The employments which by their meanness are not fought after by the people in power, amount to no more than 30,000 livres per annum. The advantages of commerce and raanufactures the people are deprived of by the uncommon policy of the regency, and they cannot now, as heretofore, make their fortune by arms, for they are forbidden by a law of a new date to engage in any foreign fervice, and there is no body promoted in their own but the princes of the blood, that is to fay, the fons, grandfons, and nephews, of the 200, (just as it was in Holland before the happy revolution there.')

Hague Sept. 2. The Weft India company deliberated yesterday, and agreed to the propofal for conferring upon the prince ftadtholder, the government and general direction of that company and of all the eftablishments that belong to ity upon the

fame footing and with the fame prerogatives which he enjoys as governor of the Eaft India company.

There is a furmife in Holland, as if the Dutch colony in the island of Batavia in the Eaft Indies had revolted, and set up a government of their own, independent of that their mother country.

Paris, Sept. 1. N. S. The 30th of last month we received letters from Avignon, advifing, that the young pretender had fuddenly made his appearance there again, while they thought him to be yet on the frontiers of Poland. But if we may credit what is added in the faid letters, he will make no long ftay at Avignon.-6. His majefty has this day publifhed an arret, whereby all private perfons are strictly charged not to establish any new religious foundations; nor even to leave any lega cies or donations in favour of any of our convents, and moreover, that no religious fociety or community whatsoever, fhall have the privilege of making any new acquifitions. All notaries likewife, are thereby prohibited, on fevere penalties, to receive any free gifts or legacies in favour of any fuch focieties.

From Madrid we have an account, publifhed by authority, of a revolt in the Carraccas in America, headed by Don John Francis de Leon, a powerful and rich man in that country: That they have drove the company's factors out of the country, and obliged the Spanish governor to retire into the caftle of Guiare; and that they declare for a freedom of commerce.

By the way of Lifeon we have an account from Algiers, that commodore Keppel arrived there the 9th ult. with feven English men of war: That the next day he prefented a letter from his Britannick majefty to the dey, and strongly preffed reftitution of the effects taken on board the Prince Frederick packet boat; but after ftaying ten days there, he return'd again to Portmabon without receiving any proper fatisfaction. (See p. 394.).

And by the way of Gibraltar we have an account from Tetuan, that Mr. Latton, the Britifb ambaffador to the emperor of Morecce, is detained prifoner, on account of fome deficiency in the payments, for the release of the English captives by the late Mr. Zolicofre, who died a prifoner there on the fame account.

From Naples we hear that four grenadiers of the regiment royal Italian having laft month deferted, and taken refuge in a country church within the diocefe of the bishop of Venabro, the council of war ordered them directly to be taken out and put to death, which fo enrag'd the bishop, that he pronounced fentence of excommunicati

OR

on against all those who fign'd that order; but the king fent him express orders not only to annul his fentence, but to burn it, and every other act he had made in confequence of it. Soon after his majesty had thus exerted his authority against that of the church, he had like to have been kidnapp'd by the Algerines, who appear'd upon that coaft, and very near the capital, with a squadron of 1 fhips, one of 40 guns with 500 men, four of 30 guns with 350 men each, and the other fix from 18 to 24 guns with about 250 men each. By the matter of an English fhip that had been detained two days by these corfairs, they were informed, that the chief commander

of the fquadron had made use of his fhip to reconnoitre in the night time the little island of Precida, in order to know whether the king was, or would be there, to take the diverfion of shooting pheasants, as his ma jefty is accustomed to do in that feason. But luckily for him, he had been there, and was return'd to Naples before this squadren arrived.

The king of Denmark has not only renewed his fubfidy treaty with France, but alfo, if any credit is to be given to letters from Hambourg, has fet up a claim to the iflands of Schetland and to an exclufive right of fishing in the northern feas, especially about those islands.
