Bufy Body, HEIR high mightineffes the states general have not as yet, so far as we hear, given any anfwer to the memorial prefented to them by the French ambaffador 5 but as several of the chief towns in Holland have joined with Amfterdam in their oppofition to any augmentation of their land forces, it is probable the answer of their high mightineffes will not be upon such a high key as might be expected from the title they affume, and the circumftances of Europe require. In the mean time they feem to have provided for the fafety of their trade in the Mediterranean; for from Rotterdam we are told, that the fquadron of 16 men of war, fitted out for that purpose, was ready to fail with the first fair wind, by the 2d of last month; that eight of them were to cruize against the Algerines in the Streights, and the eight others to ferve as convoys for their merchant ships;' and that the whole expence of this fquadron was to be taken out of the money raised from their fettlements in the EaftIndies during laft war, which was fome time fince remitted home; fo that no part of the expence is to be taken out of their prefent publick revenue, altho' their navigation was deeply concerned in it, for the whole of their Mediterranean trade was like to be carried on in English bottoms. Towards the end of the month of June the king of Pruffia made a tour incognito from Cleves to Amite dam; and after viewing their harbour and shipping fet out again for Cleves, with fo much difpatch, and fo few attendants, that he was returned thither before the populace in Holland had heard of his being in their Country. The whale fishing this last season seems to have been very advantageous to all parties concerned; for on the 23d, 24th, and 25th ult. no lefs than 20 ships employed in that trade by the city of Amfterdam alone, returned into the Texel, fome with 14 whales each, and those that had met with the worst fuccefs had two whales each. Mynheer Moffel, governor general of the Dutch fettlements in the East-Indies, has fent to the young prince ftadtholder, T a prefent of an Indian dwarf 18 years old, well proportioned, tolerably edu cated, and hut 32 inches in height; to whom his ferene highness has given the name of Goliah. The French papers have given us a most gafconading account of the late fea engagement near Cape Breton, which is not worth repeating here; but they tell us one fact, which may perhaps be true: They fay, that there was along with their two men of war taken by us a frigate of 50 guns, which was first taken, and an officer and 60 of our men put on board of her; but that thefe men found the wines on board fo good, that they got all drunk, and fell asleep, which gave the crew an opportunity to recover their arms, and to carry the hip into Louisbourg, where the English on board were all made prifoners. Their papers are likewife full of their preparations for war; and among others they tell us, that on the 9th inftant an edict was published for adding four companies of 45 men each to the king's own regiment of foot, and four campanies of 40 men each to each of the other regiments of foot in their fervice; that fuch officers are to be chofen for commanding thefe companies as may be thought beft able to raise them; that the officers are to have 40 livres per man, and cloathing for them, befides a gratuity of 15 livres for every man fit for fervice, if the company appears compleat in February next, when they are to be reviewed; and that all fuch new raifed men as fhall be approved by the commiffary of war, fhail enter into pay the firft of next month, or from the day of their being approved after that time. And in order to fave money for anfwering this warlike expence, they have begun to retrench all the fuperfluous expences of the court, the king having already made a reform of 1500 horfes belonging to his ftables, and the works for repairing the Louvre are fufpended. In the mean time the French have got another war upon their hands, for the Sallee Rovers have lately made prize of fome of their merchant ships, which has obliged them to ftation fome Cruizers 1755. The Monthly Catalogue for Auguft, 1755. eruizers upon the coafts of Spain for the protection of their trade; and these Cruizers have made free with fome of the little barks carrying provifions from Tetuan to Gibraltar, under pretence of the cargo's being the property of the Moors. The feizing of Mandrin in the territory of Savoy had alfo like to have involved them in a rupture with the king of Sardinia, for the ambaffadors at the refpective courts were thereupon recalled; but this affair has been fince accommodated, on condition that the French court fhall fend fome person of distinction upon a folemn ambaffy to Turin to excufe this infult, and make good all the damage that was thereby done in the dutchy of Savoy. The late affembly of the clergy of France had, it feems, before their break I. 399 ing up, drawn up a memorial relating to the prefent religious disputes in that kingdom, which was figned by all of them, except fix prelates, and was to have been prefented to the king; but when the car. dinal de Rochefoucault, their prefident, waited on the king to know when his majesty would be attended for that purpofe, all the answer he received was, that they ought to conform to his declaration of the 2d of Sept. which he had charged his parliament to fee duly executed. The bishops not being fatisfied with this anfwer, the cardinal, at their defire, waited again on the king with their complaints against the parliament, particularly for their grossly abufing the power intrusted to them by his majefty, to which he only answered, that he would talk to the first prefident about that matter.
