From a late GRAND MAGAZINE. ¥ e N the recolletive hour, it is a lau- * k B el ,,: dable exercife of the mind to re- * % % view the condition of our native * % *x ¥ country : and with the greateft de- light we can now obferve, that profperity has attended the arms of Great-Britain ; has fuftained her caufe, reftored her charatter, and conveyed to her, new life, vigour, and honour. Thisis a heart-cheering revolati- on, and we ought to aferibe it firft to the mercies of Heaven, next to the meafures of ftate, which are concerted with found wifdom, and exscuted with integrity and courage. God be thanked / the meafures of ftate prove very fuccefsful; and produce important events, fatal to the efential in- terefts of France, and pregnant with emi- nent advantages to our country. [ may juftly call thote events important, fince they have greatly deprefled, I had almoft faid deftroyed the marine trade of the enemy, at the fame time that they have protected and enlarged our own commerce; com- merce, which is the fource and foul of Bri- tain’s welfare ; commerce, which always communicates folid {trength aad fhiningre- putatien to this kingdom. I may again juftly call thofe events important, as they have checked theambition of the French king,reduced his power,and diftrafted his councils ; as they havedifpoffeffed him of feveral pelateous fources of trade and rich- es ; annexed them to the Britith empire, and raifed in his own realm popular difcon- tents : as they now urge hnmiliation to prefs more clofely on the heels of haughri- nefs : makedejeftion haunthimin his moft pleafurable palaces, and caufe fear to tend him even in tiie mid{t of his bravelt and beft armed forces. As the various fuccefles of this nation are great, {fo we may rationally hope they will become ftill greater, fince there is the fame wife and magnanimous monarch upon the throne,& the fame able& aufpicious minifter at the helm, who proceed on prudent, well adjufted plans, with firmnefsand uniformity of mind, AsIhave mentioned his majefty, I muft fay thatitis very happy for us that we live under fo amiable a menarch, who, in the ftorms of war, orthe calmsof peace, always thows himfelf the father of his peo- ple; hetenderly loves,and is fincerely be- loved by his fubjefts : he endears himfelf to them, and engages their aff-Ctions by the juftice, the prudence, the mildnefs, and the benevolence of hisfway. And thas our fo- vereign, as fome author exprefles ir, reaps more true glory from reigning over the hearts of one kingdom of freemen, than he could by trampling on the necks of a world of flaves. I believe noperfon will wonder when [ fay we are happy under theprefent admi- niltration, and that we are fenlible of our happinefs. All our pational rights and bleffings are attentively guarded : the bane- ful practice of corrupt influence is detelted and abhorred by the leading men. The puablic meney of the nationis applied intire- lv to the public benefit. ¢ The hoarfe voice of party, is filent in the grand affemblies : harmony prevails there to {weeten debate, foften oppofirion, and make the public af- fairs glide on in an eafy and fmooth current. And what are the effets of this unanimicy and iategrity ? The formidable fleets of this rerowned ifland maintain and confirm to her the fovereignty of the fea; difpence terror and deftruttion to her enemies, and give fafety and profperity to herfelf. Our ad- mirals and generals, our {oldiers and feamen inflamed with the love of their councry, are always prepared tofight her battles wich the belt of weapons, brave bearts. With whatardour did our gallant countrymen go forth the laft year againft the enemy in Af- rica, America, and France ? Did they nos in each of thofe climates difplay the vigour of their courage, and the vengeance of Bri- titharms? Was not this the conduét of men altuated by the ftrong motives of public virtue and fteadinefs of foul? No man will denyit. In brief, the intrepid champions of Great-Britain conguer greatly in all parts, and rerurn from their enterprizes with glory {parkling in their eyes, and triumph attend- ing their footfteps. They have largely en- creafed the welfare of this nation at home, and widely extended the honour of it abroad. They bave, I fpeak it with the utmoft de- light, they have made the heart of the king glad within him, filled the minds of his peo- ple with joy, andthe mouth of fame with the praife of Britith wifdom and Britith fortitude.

BEPEBEEEEEEEEEEEEEP: Tranflation of a letter from the King of, Pruffia to bis minifters at foreign courts, April 28, 17509. It is known to all Europe, that I bave pro- vided for allthe officers who are my prifoners of war, as well Swedes, as French and Auftrians, and lately for the Ruffians the bel¥ accommoda- tionand every conveniency 5 having for that end permitted them to pafs the time of their capti- vity in my capital. Nevertheles, as fome of them have grofsly abufed the liberty allowed them, by keeping up illicit correfpondences, and by other practices, with which I could nat avoid being offended, I have been ebliged to caufe all of them to be removed to the town of Spandau, which muft not be confounded with a fortrefs of that name, from which it is entirely feparase, and where they will enjoy the fame eafe as at Berlin, but will be more narrowly obferved. This. is a refolution no body can blame. I am Jufficiently authorifed in it by the law of nati- ons, and by the example of the powers who are leagued againft me ; the coure of Vienna hav- ing never fuffered any of my officers that have fallen into their bands to go to Vienna, and the court of Ruffia having fent fome of them even to Cafan. However, as my enemies let flip no opporicnity of blackening my moft innocent pro- ceedings, 1 have thought proper 0 acquaint you with my reafons for making this alteration wirh regard to the officers who are my prifoners, .
