The deputies of Hthe fates of Gueldres and Utrecht having reported to the affembly of the ftates-general the refolution of their provinces in relation to the guaranty follicited by the Landgrave of Heffe-Caffel, on the 17th their high mightineffes came to a formal refolution to take upon them the faid guaranty. Next forenoon this refolution was communicated with the ufual formality to the Heffian minister, and in the afternoon to the Hon. colonel Yorke; who was acquainted at the fame time that their high mightinesses agreed to the guaranty in queftion, with a view not only to fupport the proteftant interest, but to give his majesty a proof of their readiness to enter into his views. AFFAIRS, 1755. March 5. The placart published by the ftates of Holland, to prevent the promifcuous marriages of proteftants and papifts, has been more favourably received by the latter, than by the former. Being under a reftraint in the exercife of their religion, they are fo much the more attached to it, and more zealous and more diligent to preferve it from being corrupted. As they are more numerous in the Seven United Provinces than those of the established religion, they will never be at a lofs to find in their own communion hufbands and wives for their children; and being as wealthy and as much at their eafe as the proteftants, they can have no views of intereft to incite them to mif-alliances. The papifts had rather great reafon to fear that the large fortunes of fome of their daughters might light up the paffions of the proteftant youths. From Paris we are advifed, that the archbishop of that city having refused all the proposals made to him by the commiffaries fent to him on the part of his moft christian majesty, for inducing him to fubmit to his majefty's declaration of the 2d of September laft, his majefty thought fit to banish him Champeaux in Brie; but the archbishop having caufed it to be reprefented, that the air of that place would not agree with his health, he has obtained permiffion to go to Lagny, a finall town in the ifle of France, about fix leagues from Paris. In the to mean time the chief finger of Notre Dame, who was often with the archbishop, and fufpected of giving him bad advice, had been ordered by a letter de cachet not to ftir any where abroad except to church; and another priest has been banished on the fame account. The archbishop of Aix has likewife been lately banished to Lambefc, a town in Provence. Every mail brings us long accounts of the great naval preparations making at Breft, and other ports of France; but as these accounts are very uncertain, and differ widely from one another, we shall not amuse our readers with any of them. Only this we may fay, that as it is impoffible for them as yet to be an equal match for us at fea, if they make no preparations for involving us in a land war, we may be easy about any preparations they can make for one at fea; or rather we should rejoice at their putting themselves to that expence ; for when they have done their utmoft, we may, in imitation of the brave capt. David Gam, fay, there is enough to take, enough to fink, and enough to run away. From Berlin we have an account of no lefs than 31 perfons that have this winter been frozen to death or ftiffed in the fnow in that country and Silefia, befides great numbers of fheep; and that near Breau the wolves have deftroyed several women and children. But his Prufian majesty has, it seems, taken care that thofe wolves, the Jew ufurers, shall no longer prey fo voraciously upon his people; for he has ordered, that for the future they shall take only 7, instead of 10 or 12 per cent. intereft for the money they lend, and but 6 per cent, where their money is fecured by pledges. From Ratisbon we hear, that the king of Pruffia's minifter has prefented a memorial to the diet there, demanding a feat for his mafter in the college of princes, in right of the principality of Meurs, which his grandfather fucceeded to upon the death of our late king William.
