Ces “Odafies, or ity real vige Coin is {uffery deavoured g as Money, almott 2 Cheat 4 Mo s o E aiue than Faper Money. ~“Tis per- haps impoflible for a Law to make a thing e what it 7s not naturally ; efpecially when many that will have to do with it are out of the reach of the Law. Nothing can be made # Standard by Law for the regulating of Trade, but that which is iz its own nature {uitable for a Standard, being made fo by common Confent of all trading Nations.” And therefore the beft Method which can be taken to fix the V3lue of Paper Money, is to make it redeemable by as much Silver as it promifes ; or to eftabiifh Silver as the Standard of Paper, by making Silver the Law and Rule of all Bufinefs and Commerce, obliging all Perfons to fix the prices of their Labour and Commoditics, make their Can- trafls, and keep their Accompts according to Silver as a Standard, and fettling in Courts of Juftice all Debts andCen- trafls according to the current Value of Paper Money com- pared with Silver. - s From the Maryrvanp GazerTE, Nowemb. 11. The following is an Account of the Gallant Behavizur of an Excrisu CaPTaN of an EnxGrisH Man of War, Mann'd awith ENGLISHMEN, at a Time avhen the True Old Encpisu Valowr avas in Fafbion, in'the R.ign of good Quecn ELVZABETH. Such a Relation, although.of an A&ion which bappen'd long fince, may not now be im- proper to Publifb, after we have had Jo many Accounts of the late dafiardly Bebhawiour of an Englith ADMIR 4L, ¢ YN the year 1591, was that memorable fight, of an ‘ Engli/b Ship called the Rewenge, under the command ¢t of Six Richard Greenvil ; Memorable (I fay) even be- *¢ yond credit, and to the height of fome Heroical Fable. ¢ And though it were a Defeat, yet it exceeded a Viftory ; ¢ Being like the a&t of Samp/fon, that killed more men at ¢ his death, than he had done in the time of all his life. ¢ This Ship, for the {pace of 15 hours, fate like a Stag *“ amongft Hounds, at the Bay, and was feiged, and fought ¢ with, in turn, by fifteen great Ships, part of a Navy of *« fifty five fhips in all ; The reft lke Abettors locking * on a far off ; And amongft the 1 fhips that fought, the ‘¢ great Sant Poilippo was one ; a fhip of 1500 tun ; Prince “ of the 12 Sea Apoftles 5 Which was right glad when fhe was fhifted off from the Rewenge. This brave fhip the Rewenge, being manned only with two hundred (foldiers and mariners,) whereof eighty. lay fick, yet neverthelefs after a Fight maintained (as was f2id) of 15 hours, and two fhips of the enemy funk by her fide ; Befides many more torn and battered, and great {laughter of men ; never came to be entered, bus was taken by compofition ; Yo, if thy T Kome " Ydone bad Fala/fly of alfions con- rw&rb ought g QUIICH LhE L Vs Jpire to envelope in the darkef} /oud; t/m Lig,};t to enlighten and dired the Sover, ign in the Adminiflration of A 3 that Juflice which beis Jpecially charged to do his Subjects, Eveninthe Times of Paganiim, thafe illuftrious Emperors,awbo had nothing in View but to immartalife their Names amang Men, were intimately perfuaded that the principal Intereft of a Sovereign was to make TRUTH come freely to bim. Hosw aatchiul were thy, againfl the falfe Zeal of INFORMERS, the PotsoN of FLATTERERS, and the INsINUATIONS of Liars, drefled in the Liveries of Honcfly and Sincerity ! -dwd yet they did not always efcape the Traps and Swares laid far them. Permit us Sive, on this Occafion, to cite the Confeffion of one of the ablifi Monarchs that ever filled the Throne of the Caesars. © He awas indeed an Encmy to our Religion ; but TRUTH ceafes not to be TRUE in the Mouth of a Perfecutor, Diccicfian, after be had abdicated the Empire, perceiving in bis Retircment part. of the Faults he had been induced-ta commit during a Reign of taenty Years, ufed to Jay to bis Frieads, - “ Nothing is more difficult than to govern well. Four eor five ““ Perfons in league together deceive the Sovereign. They [beww S bim Lhings inthe Light that fuits th.ir own Views. The ~ “ Prince immured in bis Palace, canuot of himfelf difcern the “ TRUTH : be knows nothing but avhat they tell bim.: be “ gives Employments to thofe who ought not to be abius ““him; and be turns out the wvery Man avhom. be.ought to retain : in a ward, in Jpite of the moff upright Intentions, ““ in_jpitc of all his Precautions, the befl of Princes is betrayed “and fold ; ke becomes the fport and the Vilim of Men avbo conceal the TRUTH from bim. Your Parliament, Sire, owe you this precious TrRUTH, ffo rare, Jo mucha firanger in Palaces. 1bey prefent it to you without Fear, becaufe they know you cheriffo it. As often as it bas made its way to you, the Homaces avhich your Ma- j¢fly paid to it have covered you awith a Glory fiill more immor- tal than the Laurels abich Viflary bhas crowned yau awith. . T here is more Mugnanimity in fubmitting to TRUTH, thanin’ sUBDUING THE WoRrRLD. How criminal awould your Par- liament be, if at this Conjunélure they difguifed it ? Perbaps | it never was more neceffary, for the Intereff of your Authority, and for the fupport of public Order in your Kingdom, to tell you the TRUTH without any Difimulation. Thisis the Ob» ject of the mofl bumble and moft refpeciful Remonfirance which we bave the Honour to bring to the Foot of your Throne.
