THE - New-Hampfhire Containing the Frefbeft Advices, A CHRONICLE of the WAR between the Fclicianites, the Gallianites, and their Allies ; and the Dazonfall of GEORGE the Son of the Lion, Together with the Baok of bis Lamentations, C:H APTER:L ; I MOW it came to pafs in the Reign of M.xi- b0 mus the Sezcond, King of Felicia, that there wese great and bloody wars ; yea infomuch that many Empires, and Kingdoms were concerned therein. 2. For lo Peace had fl:d from off the Face of the Farth ; no other Sounds were heard but thofe of the Trumpet and of the Drum ; of the Rosring of the Cannon, and the Groans of the Dying. 3. And there were at that Time four mighty Ma- tions that came forth to Battle ; and the Names of thefe Nations were, the Gallianites, the Mulcovites, the Auftrianites, and the Swedenites. 4. Yea thefe mighty Nations came forth to Battle againft one Man, even Frederickus the King of the Pruffianites, who was the Nephew of Maximus the King of the Felicians. : 5. And they fought great and many Battles againft him, but the Lord was on his Side, and he ftood as a Bulwark againft them all: fuch was the Valour of this veal and mighty Warrior ! 6. And the Gallianites, who were & fubtle People, and full of Guile, were at War alfo with the Felicians. 7.Aud it came to pals that they wickedly communed smongft them/clves and (aid, lo the Felicians are leagu- ed - with the Enemies of our Allies, even Frederickus King of the Pruflianites,and as we are not able to difturb them in their own Land, let us therefore attack the Foreign Territories of Maximus, altho’ they have no Conneflion with the Felicians; even Revenah the Place of his Nativity, and we will deftroy it with Fire and with Sword. 8. Now thefe Things were told unto Maximus,who was a peaceable good King, but when firred up to ‘Wiath by his Enemies, he was as valiant as a Lion. 9. Wherefore he Ipake unto his Son, who was a war- like Prince, and chief Captain of the Felicians, faying, behold the Gallianites have wickedly combined together to attack my Country of Revonah, notwithftanding they have no juft Quarrel againtt it ; for howbeit there is War fubfifting between the Felicians and the Gallianites, there is none between Revonah and Gallia, 10. Now therefore go thou, and be chief over my Army, even the Army of Obfervation, which I have - commmanded to be gathered together, both Horfemen and Footmen, a mighty Hoft ; and if the Gallianites make any Attempt againft Revonah, do thow, my Son, drive, them from out thereof, and make them fly before thee, even as Chaff betore the Wind. 1i. And William the Chief bowed before M1ximua, faying, the Will of the Lord the King, my Father, be done ; and he took Shipping and pafled over the Sea, even the Sea which divideth Felicia from Hollandia, and arrived fafe in the Country of his Royal Father, cven in the Land of Revonah. 12, Buthowbeit it came to pafs, that the brave Wil- lism figned a Paper with the Chief Captain of the Gal- Hantics, which was called C-#v #¢ 7, and is called fo even unto this Day ; and Peace reigned over the whole Land of Revonah. 13. And the Son of Maximus returned to Felicia, and he refigned his Employment, as Chief overtie Army of Revonah, and over the Army of the Felicians. 14. Now the reft of the Aés of William the Chief Capt.in, how he fought in the Battles in Germany, snd how he quelled théRebellion in Scotlandia and rcftored Peace to Felicia, are they not written by Rolt the Scribe, in his Hiftory qf the JakWar, and by other Hiltosians ? and are they not alfo written in the Hearts of all true Felicians. _ [ Tée End of the firf Chapter. To be continucd. ) CNAS A, A A, A (A A The Lamentation of LEWIS le Petit, for the Lofs of bis Ships, in ibe late fatal Encounter, with a Feather- lefs Bird of Prey. OWE, O my TuEeseus (Le Thefe) can I furvive H\ thy Duftiuction, or with what Words can [ paint the Anguifh of my Soul, unhappy Thefeus ! unhappy Thefeus ! Thou haft neither engag’d with Minotaurs, Thebes, Centaure, or Amazons ; but with the 4NGELI, a'People greater and more mighty than we ; and in whofe Sight, we are but as Grals- hoppers. I'am no longer the HERO (Le Hero) of the Age : 'The Nation that I once defpis’d, is at lait rous’d, and become FORMIDABLE (Le Formidable). ~ ZOLUS, Thou Sovereign of the Winds ! Why didft thou not reftrain thy airy Forces from BLOWING TOGETHER, (Corflans Lat.) my Fleet ? O that I had remain’d fafe MOOR’D in Harbour, WhATSON of Mars would have been {o HARDY as to have ventur’d in ? Who would have been fo rath as to bave dared me to the Combat? [ would not have been in their COATES for my 5 5. Piece. G When fhall I be freed from the dreadful Calamiiics of this defolating War ? Hafien, O happy Time, tha I m:y be fpar’d a lictle before [ go hence; that [ may yet have another Opportunity of convineing the World what a facred Regard I pay to the Faith of T'reaties, Capitulations, &c. &c. Haften, O happy Time, for 1 and now in the ERADSTREET to Deitru&ion. - Mine Enemy has digged a decp, a fathomlefs PITT, which fecured on either Side from che bold Attempis of open Violence, or fecrét Trealon, and wholly im- pregnable by our united Force of Cannon, Malquetry or PISTOLeS, has extendedts rapacious Mouth, and fwallowed all my lawle(s PRIDE (Le Superde ). My Finances are now exhaufted ; my People are deprels’d neither can any Government, City or TOWN SEND their Quota of Men to reftrain the In- folence of the conquering Foe; wha regards us not a WHITMORE than the greedy WOLFE the blecting Lamb ; or the eager HAWKE the trembling Dave. My Hopes are now as the Spider’s moft attenuated WEBB ; I, who but lately exalted my Head above the Potentates of the Earth, muft now become the Sport of BOYES. My SON ( Le Soleil ) is {et in ob- fcure Darkhefs, long before it had arrived to its Meri- dian Luftre. GIESSEN, (in Germany) Aug 12 A letter from the King of Pruffia to Prince Ferdinard is banded about, and feems to-be much in the flile of Jome others from that Monarch, which we bave feen; One paj Jage of it runs thus :—<You are always chiding me for the ¢ recall of my eight Jquadrons . This indeed is eafily [aid S on your part, but they are abfolutely meceffary to me : ¢ Mind to make bead, as well as you can, againft your fiery ¢ Duke de Broglio. 1 leave the Count of Lufatia to my ¢ nephew for pocket money. A witty officer bas drawn up the Prince’s anfwer in the Jfollowing terms. [M. Maubert is modefi enough mot to own bimfelf tbe autbor of buth letters ) Your Majefly knows your own wants, and [ well know ¢ mine : Iam almfp equally uneafy about both. Count ¢ Daun’s flegm ruffies your temper, Sire; and you think ¢ the Duke de Brogli’s vivacity is. lefs dangerous: But ¢ e never think ourfelves well, but where we are not. ¢ The Count of Lufatia and Baron Laundobn will give us a ¢ fad account of our pocket money. 1 am in pain about the ¢ Prince your mephewo, and fer the Prince your brother e, Drefden, July 31. Nothing for thefe hundred years bas equalled the monftrous enterprizes formed by the King of Pruffia againit this city. To kill, burn, and deftroy, was all that this Prince prepofled, and he has fuccceded to his heart’s content. One fingle fa&t,which hiftory will, doubtlefs, tran{mi: to futureages, may ferve to chara&erife the expedition, Fifty men more or lefs, in a place garrifoned by 14,000, and communicating with an army of 60,000, was furcly a matter of little import. The Pruffian Generals thought otherwiie. To clear the parapets of Drefden of 50 or 6o men, they dreffed a number of their hunters like women, and in this difguife fent them at dufk to the edge of the ditches of the town, where ezch of them totk aim to make fure of his man. The trick was too mean to be forefeen or fufpe@ted. The Auftrian cfficers tock them to be fome poor unfortunate women,who came (0 look among the ruins for part of their furnitare, and forbid their men to fire upon the afliflins in caps and petticcats, At laft they difcovered the abominable malquerade ; and every one that was within mufket reach ot the parapets was fhot dead. LONDON, Auguft jo0. Oan. Tueldey laft an odd accident happened near En- feld ; a gentleman’s fervant wentto fee his [weetheart in that neighbourhood ; fhe being wafhing with her fellow fervants, they diverted themielves with throwing fuds upon him, which he refented in fuch a manner that he went and hanged himfelf in the garden ; fhe acciden tally went afterwards into the garden, and being fhocked at the fpeéticle died immediately. A few (days fince a bailiff and his followers arrcfted a man in Gravel lane, Southwark, who begged they would give him leave to go and fee his wife before he went to prifon ; which they (going a little out of the road of their profeflion) confented to. He no fooner got into the houfe, then he flipt up ftairs, went out ata garret window, and clambered up to the ridge of the houle ; from whence, taking up fome tiles, he prepared for a fiege. The-bailiffs got a ladder, with intent to {cale the walls ; but the fellow plied them fo well with his ammunition from abeve, that they could make no rogrefs. At length, however, the follower got up even or eight rounds of the ladder, but a well-direéted tile fent him quickly to the bottom aggin, to the no fmall diveifion of fome hundreds of fpetators, among whom was a recruiting ferjeant, who tho’t {omething ‘might be made of the affair, and told the man if he would enlift, the King fhould bail him : the propofal "was gladly ac- cepted, and the affuir concluded very properly ; a fub- je&t was refcued from goal,and hisMajefty got a foldier. e o e e et et NUMB. 216 { W E E K 5 fince this Parer ~ was fi. it publifhed. Foreign and Domeflick. September 2. A fhip is arrived on the coalt of Scot- land, ihe mafter of which reports, that they had news in Holiand of the King of Prufli’s having beat M. Daun. According to a variety of letters from Paris, by the way of Bruflels, the General Officers who lately quitted the French army, complain loudly of the haughty and infupportable temper of M. Broglio, whois fo pofiiive in his own fchemes, and fo parial to his own depen- dants, thatthe oldeft and moft experienced Gen: rals who are not of that number, find it impcflible to ferve with any degree of cafe, or profpe® of giving latis- faction. It is reported, that a Neapolitan #rigate which had on board the King of Spain’s coaches, being overtaken in a calm, has been funk by four Algerine Chebecs. The crew and paflengers amounted to 5qo. In a letter from the Bay we are informed of an un- fuccefsful attempt litely made by Com. Hervey, to tale pofleflion of the iflind Grouais, on the coaft of Brittany. The Commodore landed all the marines, and above 400 feamen, but found the ifland fo well fecured, snd o full of men, that he thought proper to reimbark, which he did with the lofs of a few men wounded. The Commodore endesvoured to furprize them, and was exremely altive on the occafion. He landed among the firft, and aflited others ia climbing the rock,but the ruggednefs of the landing place, prevented the men from gatting up ; and the iflind being too ftrong to at- tempt it by open ferce, he was obliged to retire without fuccels. This iflind is well culiivated, furrounded with cannon, and finely fituated to command the harbour of Port I'Osient, and would have becen an acquifiicn of confequence had there been Force enough to take it. KINGSTON, in Jamaica, Sept. 6. Oa Sunday laft arrived at Poit Royal, his Majefty’s’ floop of war Port Antonio, Gedion, E'q; commander, from a cinize, and brought in 3 prizes. Thuiflday arrived at Port Royal, fent in by his Ma- jefty’s thip Boreas, Uvedale, Efq ; commander, a polac- c#, from Marfeilles, bound to Cape Francois : Captain Uvedale has alfo burnt, in the mole of Saint Nicola, & large French privateer floop, mounting 14 guns, and 150 men, commanded by that mifcreant Fernandez ( who inhumanly murdered Capt. Sdles, &s mention- edina former paper ) the wretch and his crew made their efcape cn fhore. . The lame evening was fent in by the Renown, Mackenzie, Efq; commansler, a fmall French floop pri- vateer. And off the weft end of this iflind, another French {loop privateer is taken by the Cerberus, ~——— Webber, Efg; commander. From the B%m Evening Psff, Nov. 10. o > — HAT all human affairs are flutuating, is a felf evident truth, therefore no ohe knows how the prefent wars in Europe may terminate, or how much of the late acquifiions here (i. e. Cape- Breton and all Cansda) the Britilh Crown may be obliged to give back to France. It is true we do not know how much ; but can’it be a queftion whether we intend to give back any ac all of thofe our late ac- quifisions to France. Isit not certain that thele our lace acquifitions have coft our mother country much lood . and treafure ! and have they not hed annual experience of it ? is not our nation in debt ? not to mention” the fum ! has not ‘our perfidions French ncighbours been a fcourge to his Majeity’s North American colonies for more than a century of years, and how much blood has been fhed during that time, who can tell ? what inhuman cruelties and barbari- ties have been put in execution againft us by the fa- vages thro’ their means ? who can reckon ’em wup? and is not this late acquifition here, the greateft ad- dition that ever by any war was gained to the crown of Grest Britain ? and do you think t*at Mr. Pirr is infenfible of it? do you think it will be of a pirce with all that Great Man has done and {aid, to give up Canada to the French again ? compare notes from the beginning of the war to this time; do you think that his regards for his moft chriftisn Majefly is fuchas will induce him and thofe in conjunétion with him, to compliment away, [ had almcft faid the better, [am fure the greater part of bis at prefent Britannick Ma- jelty’s dominions ; we don’t know, it is true, but is it treafonable to guels ? nay, are wenot morally sffured! ina word, can he be deem’d a fiiend cither to his King or country, who can be willing to cede any parg of Canada to France at the breaking up of this war ? or racher is it not a degree of treafon even to.mention the confenting to any thing fo diametrically oppofite to the Britifh Intereft ? and will it not be of dangerons confe- quence at the bresking up of the war, for the French to be fuff:red to make their Fifh at Capz Bretan, the’ left naked and defemcelefs ? I fhould be rejoiced if people would no longsr make a puzzle of ther which common fenfe teaches, and which the greatett ingerelt of Grea: Britain {o plainly diétates, It being Thantk(giving next Thurfday, it is uncertain ‘whether this Paper will be publift'd 't:ll Saturday Morning. e ———
