We muft however scknowledge that ourtroops re- treated and loft fome pofts ; but what is moft afic- nifhing is, that they pafled the Mulds in the face of the enemy, without being in the leaft molefted by them ; which is a certain praof that we could not have fuffered fo much as the Auftriazs would make the world believe.

This lester is as follows : « Sir, You were {o kind as to ferd me in your lait lome news of yorr country : Loannot in reiura {end you eny thing that is interrefting from this excepting that it 1s flrongly reported, that the Catholick Kiog hath come to a refolution to engege our government in the prefent war; his Mejelty being determined, it is faid, to make himfelf maiter of ‘2]l Portuga!, coft what it will ;end thst, notwithftanding the ftrong reprefenta- tions that have been made 1o the court of Spain, to permit us ¢0 rémain neuter, we fhall be obliged to enter intd their meafures.
