therefore, let us take care not to give them that Advantage which fuperior Skill in their own Language, naturally confers, and which upon fome future Occafion, they may improve to our Detriment. Let the original and authentic Copy of the Treaty therefore be in a dead Language, the phrafes of which cannot vary, and whofe Mecan- ing is equally underftood by both parties. VVe had once a very Jearned Plenipotentiary in Queen Elizabeth’s Time, who in a Nego- ciation with Spain, when it came to be debated in what Language the Treaty fhould be made, ludicroufly enough propofed to the Spa- niard, who was giving himfelf Airs of Superiority, to treat in the Language of his Mafter’s Kingdom of Jerufalem. But leaving the Hebrew, for our Divines ; [ would only have our Negociators treat in Latin : which feemed, as it were by prefcription, to have a Right to be the Language of the public Law of Europe ; till fome late In- ftances have fhewn that the French was beginning to be fubflituted in its Room, by the Lazinefs or Negle¢t of thofe who treated. As we are fanguine in our Hopes of a much better Peace than we had at Utrecht, with Regard to the Terms ; letit not, be worfe than that at Usrecht, which preferved the Old Cuftom of fettling the Negoci- ation in Latin. V Ve then had a Bifhop indeed, as Plenipotentiary 5 but without having Recoutfe to the very learned Bench, or choofing a Plenipotentiary from Cambridge (1 hope in a little Time one may join the other Univerfity, without giving Offence) the Negociators at the enfuing Peace, may be accommodated with Latin enough for the purpofe 1 mention, at a very moderate Expence.—If their Se- But when I begin to be ludicrous ca fo ferious a Subjed, itis Time to have done : And my Addrefs has already fwelled ro fucha Size as furprizes myfelf, as much, as 1 fearic will tire the Readgr: However, the vaft Variety of Facts and particulars, wlich naturally offered themfelves to me, and which could not be.omitted without hurting the Connexion, and weakening my Argument, will, perhaps, procure Indulgence for fo long a pamphlet: And, for the fame Rea- fon, [ flatrer myfelf, that if 1fhould happen to have been miftaken in any Thing 1 advance, to have erred in a Date, or to have mif- quoted a Treaty, fome Allowances wiil be made to me, as I have been oblig’d to truft much to my Memory, for want of a proper Opportunity of confulting many of thofe Buoks, which furnifh the Matenals [ have made Ufe of. However, I believe a candid Reader will find no capital, at lealt, no wilful, Miftake. I am far from the Vanity of thinking that my Notions on the - important Subject of the Peace, are a regular plan or Syftem for the Adminiftration to proceed upon. I throw them out, only as loofe Hints for my Superiors toimprove as they may think proper. Should there be any weight in all, or any of them, you, my Lord, and Sir, will be able to work them into Utility for this Kingdom. If they are not worth your Notice, as I am an anonymous writer, and hope never to be known, I can neither lofe nor gain Reputation by them.

NAS oA, A A (A A A The Baron de Pollnitz, in bis Memoirs publif’d abive towenty years ago, hbas the following remarkable para- graph, which, no doubt, will be agreeable to the public, mot only becaufe it contains the charalter of our moft gracisus Severeign finely drason by a foreign Nobleman, but is almof} prophesic with refpect to the continuaice of bis reign. €< HE prefent King is not tall, but very well ; fhap’d ; has a ftately port, a very grave ccun- tenance, and {peaks lictle, but with great propriety. The French, Englifb, and the talian languages are as familiar to him s the German. He reads a vait deal, and knows more than moft do who wear the Royal Diasdem. Be- ing not puffed up with pageantry and vain grandeur, he does not give into {uperfluous mignifieence, but is an cezonomift without avarice ; liberal without being pro- fule ; an enemy to vice, and a friend to virtue ; fober and regular in his ways and manners ; of a lively tem- per, full of fpirit and ambiion, but fubmitting both the one and the other to reafon. He isadive and laborious, underftands affairs, has a quick spprehenfion, and a wonderful memory. His people are happy under his reign. In Ezglazd, his only ftuly is to maintain the pesce and ballance of Europe, to make commerce flsurifh, and to render the nation one of the moft pow- erfulin the world. At Hanover, hie endeavours, by geod cffizes to his fubje@s there, to allevia.e their forrow for his abfence. Hz has not mide ary miferable fince he begun his reign ; and if the bleffings of the people help to proleng the days of their Kings, his Britannic Majefty may bope for one of the longeft of reigns.” To the four Powers whofe Forces are now engaged egainft bis Pruffian Majcffy.
