Bat the haughtinefs of the Englith was{o far from containing it within juft bounds, that I have juft learned that, on the 2d inft. @ refolution was taken by the Britennic King in council, to declare war againit Spain. Thus, fecing myfelf under the hard neceflity of following this example, which I would never have given, becaule it is fo korrible, and fo contrary to hu- manity, 1 have ordered, by a decree of the 15th inft. that war thould likewife be immediately declared, on _my part, agsinft the King of England, his kingdoms, eftuies,and fubjeéts ; and that, in confequence thereof, proper orders fhall be fent to all parts of my domi- nions, where it fhould be neceflary, for their defence, and that of my fubjects, as well as for afling offen- For this end, I order my council of war, te teke the requifice meafures that this declaration of war may be puolifhed at my court, and in my kingdoms, with the formalities ufual ppon fuch occafions; and that in confequence all kind of hoftilities may be exercifed towards the Englith ; that thofe of them who are not naturslized in Spiin may leave my kingdoms ; that they may carry on no trade there ; and that only thofe who are eniployed as artifans may be fuffered to re- main : That for the future my fubjects may have no dealings with thole of England, nor with the eftates of that crown, for any of their produtions or fifheries, particulerly cod,or their manufaétures or merchandife ; fo that the inhibition of this trade may be underftood €0 be, and may bein fa& ablolute and effeive, and Ramp & vicious quality, and a prohibition of fale on the eforciiid effects, produélions, fitheries, cod, mer- chandize and manufs@ures of the dominions of Eng- land ; That no veflel whatfoever with the above- mentioned effccts on board, may be admitted into my harbours, and that they may not be pgrmitted to be bronght in by land, being illicite and prohibited in my kingdoms ; though they may have been brought or. depofited in buildings, baggege, warehoufes, fhops or houfes of merchants, or other private perfons, my fub- jeéts or vaffals, or [ubjets or vaflals of provinces and ftates with whom I am in peace, or alliance, or have a free trade, whom, neverthelels, I intend not to hurt, or to infringe the pesce, the liberty, and privilege which they enjoy, by treaty, of carrying on a legal trade in my kingdoms with their thips, and the proper and peculisr productions of their lands, provinces and conquefls, or the produce of their manufactures: " I alfo command thet all merchants who fhall have in their pofleflion, any cod, or other fith or produce of the dominions of England, fhall in the (pace of fif- tecn days from the date of this declaration declare the fame ; and deliver an account thereof, either at my court or ellewhere, to the officers who fhall be ap- pointed by the marquis de Squilace, fuperintendant- general of my revenues, that the whole may be forth- coming ; end {uch of the effe@s of which s lift fhall not be fo delivered in the Ipace of fifteen days, fhall be immediately confilcated ; two moaths, and no more, being sllowed for the copfumption of thofe which fhall be declared ; afier which time the mer- chants fhall be obliged to carry the f2id effects to the New-Hampfhire & ‘cuflom houfe, and, where theré is no cuftom houfe, to the houfes that ferve inftead thereof, that they may be publickly fold by an officer of officers nomi- nated for that end, or, if nome fhould be sppointed, by the judges, who fhall give the produce ot the fale tothe proprietors; but none of the faid merchandizes, prohibited in the manner jult prefcribed, fhall return to the warehoufes or fhops. ‘ I have given a feparate commiffion, with all the necefliry powers, to the marquis de Squilace, fuper- intendant general of iy revenues, that in that quality he msy fee ¢hat chis prohibited trade be not fulfered, and that he may immedistely dffue fuch orders and inftructions ss he fhall think neceffary for this im- -portant end ; taking cognizance in. the firft inftance,in perfon, and by his fubdelsgates; of the difputes which thall arife on occafion of this contraband, with an ap- peal t0 the council of the finances in the hall of juftice, except however what relates .to contraband military flores, arms and other effects belonging to war, par- ticularized in treaties of peace ; the cognizante of difputes on thefe articles belonging to the council <of war and the military tribunals. - - ; And I command that all chatis above be obferved, executed and accomplifhed, under the heavy penalties contained in the laws, pragmatiques, & royal cedules, iflued on like occafions in times paft, which are to ex- tend alfo to all my fubjetts, and the inhabitsnts of roy kingdoms snd eftates, without any exception,and notwithftanding any privileges ; my will being, that this declaration of war fhall come as foon as poffible to the knowledge ‘of my fubjeits, as well that they may guerd their. perfons and ¢ffeéts from the infults of the Eoglith, ws that they may labour to moleft them by naval armaments,and by other methods authorized by the law of arms.

The Xing of Pruffia’s coining three millions of ducats at Bre{lau has had a very fingular effett ; wag- gons and all forts of carrisges find their way with provifions to his magazines, through roads that & month sgo were declared impafiable. His Majefty, while he had s power, pra&ifed upor-his coin ; but his ducats are now fo very good, .that it is plain he in- tends his coin fhall now contribute to reffore his power.. e A new expedient we hetr has been mentioned for {upplying his Majefty’s navy, by imprefling il the young men who are found in diforderly houfes at unfealonsble hours ; who fhall either be obliged to ferve in perfon or find proper fubflitutes in their fteed : married men, and others turned of forty, are not o4y lisble to the fame condiiions, but to forfeit 40 fhillings to the, poor of the parith they fhall be feized in; and the keepers of all.fuch houfes will be oblig- ed to pay 2 fine of ten pounds for .every woman of bad charaéter they admit, or fuffer three months imprifonment. By this means thofe feminaries of vice which either the utmoft vigilance of the prefent laws cennot, or the negligence of certain people in com- miflion will not fuppre(s, may be toully removed ; and till fo falutary an end is compleatly effetted, sdd not a little to the peace of that public which they are fo greatly calculated to diftarb, . i Feb. 13.
