The states of Holland have refolved, in conformity with the propofition lately made them by the prince ftadtholder, that a moiety of the duties of excife upon beer fhall be taken off, in order to favour the working tradesmen who chiefly drink that liquor. The Dutch ambassador, in his fpeech at his publick audience of the French king, expreffed himself as follows: "That their high mightineffes hoped his majesty would vouchsafe to continue to their republick the friendship with which he and his glorious ancestors had fo often honoured her. That his mafters would make the utmost efforts to cultivate that ineftimable friendship, and eagerly improve every incident that might procure them the honour of his majesty's good will, and the preservation of an alliance, which they have fo ftrongly fet their hearts upon, &c. Amfterdam, July 8, N. S. Twenty-five fhips are arrived here from Greenland, most of which have eight whales on board, and large quantities of blubber. One of our hips in that fishery having caught eight whales, was caft away, but the captain and crew were taken up by other fhips. Paris, July 5, N. S. We are assured, that the affair of the clergy is accommodated upon the terms, that they shall not give an account of their revenues, or be obliged to pay the 20th penny; but shall by way of free gift pay feven millions and an half yearly to his majefty, which is about 325000l. fterling.-Our fort called Alibadi, in the river Gambia, in Africa, has been destroyed by the natives, fpirited up, as is fuppofed, by the English fettled upon that coaft.-26th, A report having been induftrioufly fpread, by whom may be easily gueffed, that the court intended a fort of conniving toleration for the Huguenots, his majefty has ordered the edicts of the 17th of January, and 6th of November, 1750, to be again proclaimed, for putting in force the laws against that fect of religion.-Our news from the EastIndies are, that on the 3d of January last we concluded a peace with the nation called Marattes; that the Nabob, with whom we were at war, had been killed by one of his nephews, who was proclaimed Nabob in his ftead; that this new Nabob had made M. Dupleix, our governor of Pondicherry, Nabob of all the Indian nations in the neighbourhood of Pondicherry; and that a 74 gun-fhip is building there, the timber of which is brought from the Malabar coaft, and faid to be little inferior to the English oak. Madrid, July 6, N. S. Five new men of war have been lately launched at Ferrol, and five more are near finished: A fine new man of war, built on the English mo del, is just ready to be launched at Carthagena, befides fome others already built there by an English fhipbuilder, who was only a common fhipwright at home, but has a piftole a day here: Three English fhips have been hired at Cadiz to transport troops and ammunition to America; and as the tranquillity of Peru is perfectly reftored, engineers are foon to be fent thither to repair the fortified places on the coafts of that kingdom, and to build a fortrefs in the island Juan Fernandez. From Lisbon we hear, that his Portuguefe majefty has iffued an ordinance, whereby he forbids the bishops making or ordaining any priest whatever without his fpecial leave and licence; and also the heads of religious houfes not to admit any more without fuch licence, his majesty being fenfible of the prejudice it does to religion, as well as the ftate, to admit too many into holy orders; and to disburden the country of other ufelefs people, the fleet for Maranham was to take 3 or 400 families on board, who are to make a new fettlement in that country, and to be allowed a certain quantity of land, and all utenfils, for cultivating it. They write from Genoa, that an ordinance has been publifhed there, directing all ecclefiafticks, without exception, to make a declaration upon oath, of what eftates or effects they are poffeffed of, under the pain of banishment, if they do not comply within a certain time. By letters from Crema, capital of the Cremafco, a little territory belonging to the Venetians, adjoining to the Cremonefe, we hear, that about the beginning of this month, captain Mosca arrived there with a detachment of 600 men, and was received with the loudest acclamations by the populace, as they imagined thefe troops were come there only to be quartered, which would make money circulate in their city. But their joy was foon turned into forrow; for that officer having first feized the gates of the city, caufed next a particular quarter to be invested, where he apprehended eighteen perfons, three of whom were, four hours after, hanged, and the other fifteen sent to Venice to be made galley flaves, without any form or process. These perfons were charged with venting mur murs against the government of the ferene republick, without any foundation; fince which fingular ftroke of republican justice, the people have been very quiet, or, in plain English, are afraid to open their mouths; for in countries where words, rafhly and unadvisedly spoken, are made fo highly criminal, none but the dumb can ever be faid to be fafe.
