1 "*FRDAY, Jmu§w' 28. 1763 THE ' i ew-Hampfllire' Containing the Frefbeff Advices, Farther Bxtrs&t fromMr, Henthcote's Letier to the Lord Mayor,Aldermer, &c. of the City of LON- DON. ; T From the Glocefter Journsl, Nov. 3. Reftitution of Goree. #N\UR minifters, perhaps, may think they do ) mighty thing, if, when they reftoreGoree, they keep pofiefion ot Sencgel s for chat, by the. meansol it, we fhall at les® squally divideshe profus of the rich and necpflsry trad€ te Airics with -our enemy. It they thould shink (o, they will find them- felves peder xa egregions miftske Butib-they fhould. . be right in fuch & corjelluie, it wouid certainly be the beight of madnels, aiter {o much blood end trea- fure fpent to reduce the exorbimnt and tremendous wer of France, to expole the fute of this. Country to the hezerd of an even balince ofany one trade with France ; or even to do foin re(pe&t of the uni- vérfal trade of the two nadons. But with re(pedt to our pofleflion of Senegal without Goree, [ ean ot conceive how it cen enter in the hesds of our wile men, thateithes we thall resp eny more ud- vantage from the African trade, by the Eoficfinn of the one withaut the other, or that the French trade will be in the lealt diminithed by this conceffiog : which, without Goree, will be rather a prejudice than & beazft to Great Britain. : ; The necefily of either nations embsrking 1n 8 cdmmeree with Africs, principally wrifeth from the impoffibility of cultivating their fetstlements in Ameri. cs, efpeciaily the Sugar Iftands, without Negroes: though the gums, elephant’s teeth, and gold duft, might otherwiie render it a very beneficisl one. If then one nation’s demand for Negroes is greater than the other’s, that mation whole demand exceeds the other’s, will employ mott fhips snd feemaca, snd ex- port moRt manafaétures ; ana will thereby reile mose jesincn and employ more mamyfsflures, and propor- tionably encoursge its agriculture. Now France vending fourteen times * as much foger, indigs, &c. as Grest- Britain, is, in all thele advaniages aitending ghis trade, fourieen times mors confiderabie than ber, who, by the pofleflion of Senegal, can purchafe no more Negrozs than the growth of ker fettlements in America requires : and a8 fhe can have o fufficient fupply of them withput Seaegal, by the convenicncy of her owa forts snd fettlements wpon the cosft of Africe, which sfford fate harbours fer her fhips and florescules for her goods, the dees not want Senegal to carry on her Negro trade; the Alricen forts and festlemer.ts not being marke:s for Negroes, who,as I spprehend, are bovght upan the confis in cosfling voyages. , xelet ve inquiie of what'ule Senegal without Goree islikelyto beto Great Britsia, wich relp:&t to the treffick in gams, elephant’s teeth, and goid dult ; or in the dimunition of ihe French Negro trede. The fhips employed by the Britifh merchants being only in propostion te their thare in the American intereft, they will fend but cne in fifreen ; ead the manufac gures to purchale the commodities above [pecified, be- ing conveyed in the fxme fhipe that convey thole that purchate Negores, theve con be fent bk cue fifieenth part of our mexufadtares to harier awaytor gums, cle- hant’s teeth, and gold dult : So then the French Enin; fourteen filteenths of the Negro trade, wiil fend iparien times the number of thips that Great - Britsin can, snd confequeznidy fourteen simes the quantity of manufeélores to barier away for the fame commmadities ; end muft, theretore, load for France fourteen times the quantity of thofe valuable cffeéls, wherewith fhe will buy foerieen titnes o5 many Goods s Great Britsin. France allo hath snother great Adventage over us herein ;... the manuteltures her goods fo much chea- per than Great Britein, thet fhe isable to outbid ber 25 per cent. And if thefeare fs&s, how will it be peoffible for this naticn to fhare equally thefe prodi- gious sdvaniages with our sival »ad enemy ? Goige of itfelf is,doub:lefs, (ufficient for theNegro- trade ; «nd the foregoing reafons fecure them in a manner, in the intire pofleflion-of the other branches of the African, commeice; othorwile, we ‘mey -be fure French modefty would not have hindred the French ccurt demanding Scnegal sz well as Gurce. And whst sealon hsve we to believe thegood nawire of curm.....y would have denied mny demend, that it fhould bave made ? S:negal therefore without Goree -will be an ufelefs expence to this nation. Acd as Govee is (ufficient to sufwer all the purpofes of that grade to Frasce, itis wo wonder the fhould readily mske us o concefion ufcles wnd. expenfive to its A et A A e e e A * This he proves by the ftate ofithe Englifh and French Weft Indie trede before the jprefest war, at which time the ballance of the Fremch Tugar grade exceeded ours 1,304 588l per annum, @ . & 4 25 i gaRaiele] pofleflor. Thuis we fes thetSencgal wihout Goree cxnnot give us balt the (rade of Africa, if cur m ——— ra did really intend theie couaizy fo much good. So ere we'fee snather French gudgesn thrown cut to catch sgu Briitth miniftey, sy Some time fince the priacipal of theJefuits inSpain waited on the Ling, and defired chat he won'd (orbid all the news writers and otkers, from publithing sny thing mote of the proceedings sgainft them inFisnce, e —— e e e —— ety &e. The King reply’d; “3 way 7¢ prevenit the pib- lifhing of criines, is mot. 10 commit thim ; and ime- diately turn’d his back on them. | Whoever coufiders the chara&ier of the Jefuits at this dey, the ceies of their fall inPoriugal andFrance, ard the fate that feems fill 10 ewait them, can {carce fail to be firuck by the follawing pafiege in ¢ fezmon preschied by Bronfweli, Archbilhop of Dublin, in 1558, when Laynez, Genersl of the Sociaty, snd the immediate Succelfors ot Si, Tgnaiius, hed formed it into & more poliiical body. There has lately rifen ‘ up & new fraternity, a fociety of men called]ufuits, who fhall feduce many people. They are s@lunied by the [pirit of the Scribes and Pharifes. They fhell employ all their telents to deftroy the truth, sand they thill be mear fucceeding. = They are & generation who aflume all fhapes. Wicth Fa- gans, they will be Pagans ; with Jews, Jews ; with the reformed, reformed ; Atkeifts, with Atheifls ; wholly difcover your views, - your defigns, your incliustions, tite bettom of your heasts, to render you, in the end, like the fool who feid in his heatt, There im0 God. 'This inciety will be fpread ovel the whole etrth ; they will be sdmitled into the Ceuncil of Piinces, who will mot be the wiler for {o doing. They will bewitch them fo far, es to oblige them to Isy Gpen their hiearts to them, to entruft them with their greweft fecrets, even with- out perceiving it. Fhey fhell be deceived in this fort, for heving for{sken the law of their God, negletted to foliow the ruics of the Goipel, and fhut their eyes to the fins of theic People. Bui in ths end, to mske known the rightecuincfs of his law, God fhell fpsedily extirpate this fociety &y 2be bands of thefe who protet¥ed it mofi, and who jerved themfelves mofl by it : fo that thefe men fhsll be- come cdions to eil wations, and be in 8 worfe con- dition than the Jews.
