~ L ONDO N, Sept. 23. Extrast of a Leiter addreffed by 1he Nobility of Majorea 0 the King of Spain. #1E Nobility of your kingdom of Majorca, entreat your ma- jefty to entruft the defence of that ifland to their zeal. They think they fhall not prefume too much, if they fet at defiance the whole power of thofe other ilanders, who, in abufive and impertinent papers, infulc the Spanifh nati- on. Majorca appearing to us to0 Darrow a field to exercife our valor, we befeech your majefty to accept the half of eur for- ces to carry the war home to our enemies. Theother half will fuffice for the dcfence of this kingdom, if they are fo vainas to at- tack it.” - <t Your majefty’s enemies will be forced to confefs, that Spain is a veffel fecured by two anchors in the ftorm, religion and mo- rals. After the example of the Romans, who, in former ages received peace from ouranceftors, we prefume to exhort your majefty mever to grant peace, but with the laurel in your hand, this is the favourable moment to raife to the greateft height, the glory of the nation, by humbling England, who madly attempts the ruin of Europe. As fhe condu@s herfelf only from views of commerce, thatis, of folid gain, fhe makes war without loving ‘it, againft warlike na- tions, who defires nothing better than to be proveked to pafs beyond the bounds of moderation prefcribed to well governed nations. Silver and Gold will be exhaufted at London, as they were at Carthage, but virtue, conftancy and vigour, will not be exhaufted among us, any more than they. were in ancient Rome, your majefty’s ene- mies will deftroy themlelves by the vio- lence of the efforts we fhall compel them to make.” L - ON D O N, Sept. 1. * A Letter from China, O&ober 20, 1761, im- ports ¢ thst during the Summer of that Year there fell above five Feet <* of Waier, whereby whole Pro- vinces have been deluged, and fome ¢ Millions of People drown'd.” The French Miniftry have received the following . letter from the Iflz of France, dated Jan. 19, 1762. < By the Fidelle frigate,. which was fent to ablerve the motions of the enemy off the Ifle Dodriguez, we are informed,that the enemy off lef: it on the «ft of December ; but that, irom the 15th of September, till that day, nine of their fhips of war, end four frigates, had ciuizzd or anchored before that 1fland. By deferters we learn, that they expeéted to be joined there by another confiderable (quadran,which never appeared.
