Hanover, Auguft 26. It is reported, that a certain power hath obtained permiffion to form magazines in fome parts of Weftphalia, in confequence of very great advantages which will thereby accrue to the prince to whom thofe places belong But we can fcarce give credit to these reports. Hague, Sept. 5. The elector of Co. logne is arrived at Venice, under the title of the count de Werth: The count de Guebriant, the French ambaffador, accompanies him. Since his departure it is known, that he has confented to the erecting of magazines for the French in Weftphalia, fo that the reafon of his journey is no longer a fecret. And by the laft advices we are told, that the British minister at this elector's court, has been ordered to retire without taking leave. By the fame advices we are told, that the count d'Aubeterre, envoy extraor dinary from France, hath made a declaration to the miniftry of Vienna, importing, "That the warlike defigns with which the king his mafter is charged, are fufficiently confuted by his great moderation, of which all Europe hath manifold proofs; that his majesty is perfuaded this groundless charge hath given as much indignation to their Imperial majefties as to himself; that he is firmly refolved to preferve to Christendom that tranquillity which it enjoys thro' his fidelity in religiously obferving the treaty of Aix-laChapelle; but that if his Britannick majefty's allies take part in the war which is kindled in America, by furnishing fuccours to the English, his majefty will be authorised to confider and treat them as principals in it.". And that France hath caufed the fame declaration to be made to other courts. In pursuance of thefe declarations we find by all accounts from France, that they are making great preparations for a land war in Europe, but we hear very little of their preparations for a fea war; tho' they have had the good luck to get their fquadron fafe home, which was fupposed to be blocked up at Cadiz, by our iquadron under admiral Hawke; for Sept. about the end of July it failed from Cadiz, and arrived at Breft the third instant, having picked up one of our small men of war, the Blandford, in its voyage home. And from Canada they have an account, that their fquadron with the troops on board was arrived there; and that it is computed they have now 23,000 effective men at that place, including their garrifons. But the most important article relating to a war in Europe is what follows. Venice, uguft 25. We learn from Conftantinople, that Ofmyn III. has re called the late depofed vizier, Ali-PachaHekim Oglou, and given him orders to affemble an army of 50,000 men, compofed of troops that may be depended upon. When this army is compleated, we shall know with fome degree of cer tainty what the views of his fublime highnefs are. In the mean time his moft Chriftian majefty feems to have got a victory over the obftinacy of his ecclefiafticks, for from Paris we hear, that it hath been refolved by a great majority, in the general affembly of the clergy, that the rejecting the Bull Unigenitus is not a juft caufe for refufing the facraments to any perfon: And that the finews of war may not be wanting, his majefty has granted a new leafe to his farmers general, for which they are to pay him 110 millions of livres, which is feven millions a year more than the last; and they have engaged to ad. vance him on the first of next month the fum of 60 millions, at 41. per cent. Madrid, August 19. As the taking of the two men of war by the English in America has given occafion to feveral reflections, from the confideration that war was not declared, and that the dif ferences between the crowns of France and England related only to the continent of America, Sir Benjamin Keene has, in anfwer thereto, offered the following confiderations : That it was well known that the French fleet carried troops, ammunition, and every thing neceffary for defending the territories which had been by the French unjustly taken poffeffion of, and of which the English claim the property: That the rules of felf-defence authorize people to render fruitless every attempt that may tend to prejudice them: That only this right had been made ufe of in taking the two French men of war, and that the diftinction of place must be interpreted in favour of the English, feeing the two ships were taken upon the coaft of the countries where the conteft arofe." Genoa t FOREIGN AFFAIRS, 1755 Genoa, Aug. 12. Ever fince we heard of hoftilities in America between the French and English we have been upon the Qui-vive. The tin, lead, falt-petre, fugar, &c. that were in the warehouses are bought up. It is reported, that fome new fortification will be added to this city, to the gulph of Spezzia, and that of Vado. The workmen make all poffible hafte to finish the new fort of San Remo. But the worst omen of all is, that the arms of England, placed over the conful's door, have received the fame infult which was given in the last century to thofe of France, and which was avenged by the famous bombardment we underwent in 1684. That is to fay, they were found in the morning of the 7th inftant covered with human ordure. The English conful complained to the fenate, and fome fufpected perfons were immediately taken into cuftody, and a reward of 400 pistoles offered to any that would difcover the authors of this infult, which cannot go unpunished; but it is generally thought they will not be found out, as it is fuppofed they were fet on by a certain powerful party which is impatient to fee this republick engaged in new broils. I. 455 Naples, Aug. 12. The whole city juftly refounds with the praifes of the marquis de Fogliani, the new viceroy of Sicily, for the following act of frict juftice. The prince of Ventimiglia refufed to pay to a merchant of Palermo a just debt of a 1000 ducats. The merchant complained to the viceroy, who ordered the prince to pay the money. Accordingly he fent for the merchant and paid him. As he was coming away, the fervants asked him for fome gratification in fuch a manner that he deter-mined to give them nothing, upon which they ftruck him; going back to complain to their mafter, he would not fo much as hear him, but ordered him to be thrown out of the window; and he was so much bruifed that he lived but a few days. The viceroy caused the prince's palace to be furrounded by a detachment of foldiers, whom the prince shot at thro' the windows and killed feven. Whereupon the viceroy ordered the houfe to be fet fire to; upon which the prince and his fervants furrendered, and in 24 hours he was tried and beheaded; fome of his fervants were hang-, ed, and the reft fent to the gallies.
