In the Amfterdam Gazette we find the following Paragraph, dated London Auguft 24. " Lieutenant- General Hop, Envoy Extraordinary from the States General, has demanded of the Miniftry the Releafe of the Dutch Man of War and Merchantmen that were brought into the Downs the 17th Inftant by fome of the King's Ships : His Excellency reprefented, that the Mails and other Materials on board the Ships in Queftion, not being included, by Treaties, in the Clafs of contraband Goods, they could not in Juftice flop nor detain thofe Ships; and he was anfwered, that the Cafe fhould be examined without Delay, and decided according to the Tenor of the Treaties." T h e fourth and laft W i n g to St. Bartholomew's Hofpital was ordered t o be etefted by a grand Meeting of the Governors held laft Thurfday ; on which Account the Tenants are to have legal Notice next Michaelmas to quit their Tenements within the T i m e limited by their feveral Leafes.

Saturday Night a Courier arrived from Madrid, and we hear he has brought frefh Overtures from the Spanifh Court towards an Accommodation between England and France t tho' fome People here imagine that he brings an Account of an Engagement between the Englifh and French Fleets in the Mediterranean; but we are not inclined to believe the latter, becaufe we hear that the Departure of the Toulon Squadron is fufpended or countermanded. A great Number of Horfes were bought at Newbury Fair for the ufe cf the Government. There has not been fo great a Fair, for a demand of Horfes, ever known in the Memory of Man, as this laft was. Sunday Night three Gentlemen were robbed by two Highwaymen upon Hounflow Heath, in the Road from Stains, of their Watches and about fix Pounds in Money. An Exprefs arrived on Sunday at the Pruffian Minifter's is thought to have brought very important Particulars. Meffengers were immediately difpatched to fuch of the Miniftry as were in the Country, and alipircumftances feem to indicate fome Evept of the utmoft Confequence^ We fome T i m e ago mentioned the Motions of the Pruffian Troops, which the Accounts in other Papers hare fince appeared to contradidl; but the Truth is, this wife Monarch without feeming; willing to underftand the Deftination of the Auftrian Armies in Bohemia, fent M. Klingraff to Vienna, with a Letter written by his own Hand, to Demand a preclfe and categorical Declaration, What he might depend upon, as he had not fent a fingle Regiment into Si'lefia more than ufual, nor could his Faith in Treaties permit him, to fufpedt the Intentions of the Imperial Court, before he fhould have received the moft convincing Reafons for fo doing. However he kept his Troops canton'd in fuch a Manner, and always 5n fuch readinefs for a March, that he could at any T i m e enter Bohemia with at leaft 70,000 Men in five Days time. His Ambaffador at Vienna received only a quibbling and erafive Anfwer ; in confer e n c e of which, it is believed, that two Pruffian Armies, one of 60,000 and the other of 4- 0,000 are marched; and if they are fo, there is no doubt but we ( hall foort hear of their Operations. It is fuppofed that the msjl Cbrijlian King, according to his ufual gwd Fait)}, nas procured the Alliance of the Emprefs Queen by a private Article for the Recovery o f S i l e f i a : thus Frerxh Perfidy is likely to continue as fuccefsful in the Effufion of Chriftian Blood as ufual. It is confidently allerted, that the Embarkation which is fpeedily to be made, is d^ figncd fat Cotfica : That Hfond would be » better Place of" ReTTd£ zvous for ourjviediterfsrreaTTr ieets aft Minorca, and with this ftill greater Advantage, that it will eithef maintain itfelf, or by the free and exclufive Ufe of its Ports arifwef all our Occafions without Expence.

Laft Week was interr'd at Summerton in the County of Suffoll- j the antient Burying'Place of tbe Family, the Remains of tbe Right Hon. Montague, Vifcount Blundell, .

He died poffeffed of a large Eftate in Ireland and England, which defcends to his three Daughters as Coheirefles : T h e Hon. Anna Maria Blundell, the Hon. Mrs. Ttumbail, and the Right Hon. Lady Raymond. We hear that Sir George Saville, Bart, of Rufford in the County of Nottingham, fent for thofe of his Tenants who he knew had Quantities of Corn, and requefted them, upon Pain of his Difpleafure, to carry it to the Market at 4 s. aBulhel, which was done accordingly, to the great Satisfaction and Relief of the poorer Sort of People.

Laft Saturday John Hughes, Servant to Mr. Peter Snee, of Queen- Street, was fent to Wood- ftreet Compter, on fufpicion of Forgery, and Yefterday he was carried before Alderman Rawlinfon at Guildhall, who committed him to Newgate. He brought a Bill drawn upon Mr. Snee for 25 1. to which Mr. Stffee's Acceptance and Orders to be paid when due, by Meff. Vere and Co. Bankers, in Lombard- Street, were forged : Upon fearching him, another 25 1. Bill, with the fame counterfeit Acceptance, was found in his Waiftcoat Pocket. On Sunday Morning was married, at St. Paul's, Covent- Garden, the Rev. Mr. Mence of Bigglefwade, a Gentleman about 78 Years of Age, to Mifs K i t t y Glaffe, of Taviftock- Street, an agreeable young Lady about 22. Margate, Sept. 6. This Morning arrived his Majefty's Sloop W o l f , with the Convoy from Oftend ; alfo the Hazard Sloop, with the French Privateer, which fhe took off Yarmouth. Derby, Sept. 4. We have the Wirkfworth and Cromford Mob in T o w n this Evening, deftroying the French Stones ufed at oar Corn- Mills. They called at Durley, ( about a Mile o f f ) but the Mayor, whofe Conduft cannot be too much commended, got there with a Party of Dragoons juft before, and kept them off, till Mr. Gisbourne and Mr. Rivett came up, who, by mild Terms, prevented any Mifchief at thofe Mills. However they marched on to this Place, and pulled down three Pair of French Stones; when the Soldiers returned and took fome of the Rioters into Cuftody at the Holms M i l l s ; and in bringing them to the Town- Hall the Mob attacked the Dragoons with Stones, upon which they were obliged to fire, and wounded two Men. The T o w n is in the gteattft Confufion, and God knows how it will end. Briftol, Sept. 4.

We fuppofe if the Toulon Fleet purs to Sea, it will be principally to proteft this Country; for there can be no Neceffity for hazarding a Battle merely to oblige the Englifh Squadron t o leave the Mediterranean. Before two Months/ and without ouffiring a Gun, the Seafon will oblige the Enemy to retire.

Extraft of a private Letter from jimflerdam, dated Sept. 3. " Letters from Leipzig of this Day, give us an Account that tfiiS Pruflian Troops are arrived in that City from Magdeburg, that they have taken Poffefiion of the Gates, have planted four Pieces of Cannon againft the Town- Houfe, and are biliited from 14, to i 5 a n d 10, in simoft every Houfe in the City. At the fame Time we hear, that the fevereft Injun& ions have been laid on the People, thro' all the Towns they have paffed, forbidding themi on Pain of Death, to communicarfe by Letters the Deftination of thefe Troops. The Terror into which' this Circumftance has thrown the Traders at Leipzig is unfpeakable, their Com'miffions for Goods being countermanded, and the Stoppage of their Merchandize being earneftly defired till farther Notice. Letters from Berlin at the fame time communicate, as a Secret, that the Court has difcovered, by a Secretary lately efcaped from Vienna, that the Court of Saxony has embraced the Scheme of the Court of France and Vienna.

T h e King of Pruffia tells the Saxons, he is very far from defigning to Hurt them ; that on the contrary, he is only come amongft them to preferve Peace, and by this extraordinaty Step to fecure them from the Ravages of War and the bloody Confequences they would otherwife be expofed to from a private Treaty they are not acquainted with. The King of Pruffia, ' tis faid, raifes no Contributions, and only obliges them to maintain the Troops he has thus marched amongft them. T h e King of Pruffii inftead of waiting for the tedious Delays of Negotiation, has fent Notice at once, to the Eledtor of Cologn to provide Winter Quarters for forty Thoufand of his Troops. This will prevent the French making ufe of this Country in order to be ready to March up into the Empire early in the Spring. T h e King of Pruffia takes Advantage of the Seafon which is n ow too far advanced for the French to fend Affiftance to their new Ally, even if there were no impediments in their Way, before the Middle of next Summer. ' T i s faid that the King of Pruffia does not intend to march abruptly into Bohemia and Moravia, but only to keep his Forces on the Boarders of thofe Countries, for the Safety of his own Territories, and there wait for the ulterior Motions of the Auftrians.
