 j Jin Anti-Jacobite'' s Creed ; alluding to in- 
 ' dilcriminate, charges in the "JacoLite 
 "Journal. 
 
 TO call odious names, which will 
 by no means ftick to the perfons 
 fhey are thrown at, is far from being an G 
 expedient that tends to moderate and 
 cool : It will of conrfe rather aggra- 
 vate and imbitter ; and what the confe- 
 quence of this mull in time be, former 
 revolutions in the cabinet may fufficicnt- 
 Jy demonftrate. 
 
 A rebellion has lately happened, in %\ 
 which the North of the united kingdom 
 did indeed appear too culpable, and has 
 «k(iwn on lomc «f its inenibfrs ftdequat? 
 
 ■mmm^^:.L^ ^^s^imMsb. 
 
 ■JACOB IT e: '"' 27 
 
 punifhments arid cetifijres, with new' 
 reftrajnts on the whole. But what did 
 this rebellion prove "mong their fou- 
 thern fdlow fubjefts ? What ! but that 
 Loyalty abundantly prevailed, and was 
 particularly diftinguilhed in thofe whoiw 
 calmer times had juftifted in tlieir oa» 
 pofition to bad ininiftries ? Are thefe; 
 now the danger is over, and their lau-^ 
 dable zeal np more wanted for the prc- 
 fent, indifcriminately tobecl-<s'd with 
 the guilty under the opprobrious name 
 o{ Jacobites Y It is an infult upon com- 
 mon fenfe, and the recent memory of 
 every man_living. Except thofe whq 
 appearedln arms for the pretender, they 
 whoTiad power, and neglcfted in time 
 to flop the progrefs of the rebellion^ 
 afted the moft like Jacobites. They 
 fuffered an alarm to run thro' the nation. 
 which otherwife need not have fpread 
 far, and put the men, whom the' '• 
 gents now brand, tho' lefs defei 
 of it, in the fame, and perhaps greater 
 danger than themfelves. 
 
 Truth and indignation extort'jd thus 
 much : But prudence and returning, 
 temper prevent morp. IJoiow, asweft 
 as any man, whatthe fr^i?^is, could I 
 fubfcribe it, that would take off the fa- 
 fhionable imputation of Jacobite, but 
 jnuft drag along with it the real and laftr 
 ing charadler of a conftitutional EngUJh- 
 mn. With a few articles of this creed 
 I Ihall at prefent conclude. 
 
 I. That all minifters, iri virtue of theijf 
 office, are prudent, wife, honeft, good, 
 and unblameable, 
 
 II. That to find fault with their 
 meafures, how ftrange focver they ap- 
 pear to common fenfe, is a high crime 
 and mifdemeanour. 
 
 III. That to fay Great Britain, as a 
 naval power, ought to depend chiefly 
 on her navy, and employ her cares and. 
 revenues frj} in the proper furniftiing 
 and difpofinff of it, is wicked, difaf- 
 fe6led, and Jacobitical. 
 
 IV. That to argue for the conftituti-. 
 on, as eftablifhed by the revolution, and 
 againft the extention of opprellive and 
 penal laws, is Jacobitical likewifb, and 
 a fure mark of a ftrong propenfity to po- 
 pery and arbitrary power. 
 
 V. Thattofay our fafety does not de- 
 pend folely on that of the Dutch, is a 
 damnable lye, and a certain proof that' 
 he who tells it is no txnz.Englifiman. ' 
 
 VI. That it is alfo a lye, a damnable, 
 Jacobitical lye, to fay that our colonies' 
 and commerce are of more concern tn 
 us, than the prelervation of tlxe Ju/hx- 
 on fuccsffign entire to' the emprcfi-

 together ; that if w« hold it in its an 
 tient extent, and preclude the French 
 from Newfmndland and Cape-Breton, 
 Canada will of courfc come to nothing, 
 *s it is fo remote, its navigation at belt 
 very diflkult, and half the year imprac- 
 ticable. The Canadians will have then ( 
 little more to depend on than the furr- 
 trade, which, by good management, 
 might foon be wrefted out of their hands 
 by the HndM^hzy company on one 
 fide, ;and New-York on the other. Yiy 
 this means they would have no footing 
 «1.1°l?^ v^w/»:/r<7, €xcept Louifiana on n 
 •Mi^ijpppi river. ^ 
 
 I mention t^ova Scetia in its full ex- 
 tent ; becaufe, tho' all this country was 
 called VAccadie before its ceflion to the 
 Englijh, the French have now fix'd that 
 name, and we, to ape them, that of 
 Atadia, to the Peninj'ula only, which 
 commences at Chi^neila, and they have n 
 canpon'd a iarge part of the remainder 
 into a province, by the name of Ga/- 
 tjpa, lying to the weft of the gulf of 
 Si Lawrence, and on the fouth fide of 
 \Miada river. Here they have carry'd 
 <on a fine fifhery for thefe 20 years, and 
 continue it v%ithout interruption to this 
 time, notwithftanding our poffeflion of "^ 
 C^'Bretm, and having a number of 
 inips to cruixe in thofe teas. 
 
 It is therefore neceflary that Annapo- 
 lis Ihould be ftrcngthened more effcdtu- 
 ^Ijy than it is at prefent, but that a pof- 
 feflion be pt.and maintained in other 
 parts of h mm Scotia, by fortifying Can- a 
 JO, Chekiil9, and fome other places 
 where the inhabitants are moll nume- 
 rous, to keep them in obedience, and 
 prevent the bccafionai fupplies they af- 
 foru the enemy. 
 
 It is oftentimes obferved, that if the 
 trench Ihould fucceed in taking Annapo- 
 lis, It would be no difficult matter to re- 
 take it again. This may be true indeed ; 
 but both we and the Fnnch know, to 
 cur mutual coft, what changeable things 
 American expeditions are ; and this 
 place never could be regain'd

 lut, Sir, in all this I go upon fup- 
 llion, that the prophecies were re- . 
 ■[intended of old, and urged in the 
 bel, as evidences of our Lord's di- 
 kmiffion; whereas, fhould this be 
 bd not to be true, and that th?y ra- 
 [ were ofFer'd to remove the preju- r 
 Is the Jem had conceived againfi: 
 |Lord, on account of fome things 
 ■ obferved m his life, which they 
 Id not reconcile with the notions

 government, the difpute which I 
 • here been conlidering would ap- 
 doubly frivolous, and, on that H 
 |e, very unworthy the atten.'ion and 
 fur beftowed upon it. However, 
 to on ilill upon the famefuppolition, 
 lould fam a(k, with regard to the o- 
 » matter in debate (the manner in 
 Jch this fuppofed evidence is to be 
 led) whether any perfori that hor.eft- _ 
 learches after truth, and would not ^ 
 [thought to delight in paradoxes, 
 y to Ihew his wit and learning, can 
 ^e It a ferious queftion to hmifelf, 
 iether the prophecies fhouid be taken 
 Itly or fingly, or whether thecvi- 
 kc we now fuppofe them to afford, 
 fcs from all the propheti'c circum- i 
 bees brought together to form the 
 kcharafterof the Meffiah, or from 
 jry luch circumftance confidered fin- 
 and independently by itfelf .? For 
 |ance, it fhould feem very clear to 
 L i?^^"^* ."nderllanding, that our 
 fd s luffering death on the crofs 
 Tiich was foretold by the prophets, r 
 I on that account alTerted in theNevv ^

 p«Wour Lord to fulfil) was not a- 
 
 K'i''S-'^'?"^''* P^°^« our Lord to be 
 I MeHiah, becaufe the Thieves thit 
 Ire crucified v.-ith him, might other- 
 Be have oretended to be the Mcffiali, H 
 jwell as he. but that it wa? n^-^rlfMi 
 [I'^es that his hands and his fi> 
 buld be pierced, and not cnc of his 
 
 ?; 
 
 bones broken ; and what appears re- 
 quifite in this one particular of the Mef- 
 liah s character, is equally requifite with 
 regard to all the relt. 1 mean, it is not 
 enough to fhew that our Lord artually 
 lufter d, as had been foretold, in order 
 to maintain the juftnefs of his preten- 
 fions tofhe Mefliahfhip, but it mud be 
 fhewn befides that he fulfilled as pundu- 
 ally every other charadlerillic fpecified 
 by the prophets, fuch as his birth, the 
 place of his birth, ^c. In truth, if of 
 fi nS a^'ons the prophets foretold of 
 ,the Mclfiah, there had been but one 
 which our Lord had not fulfilled in the 
 very manner predifted, the 7<>fw would 
 have had reafon to objeft to his claim

 It fhould be proved firft that the pro-

 M. Dejldmles looks upon the ftupen- 
 doiis galley of Ptolemy Philopatris as a 
 iiftion ; 01 if there ever was liich a vef- 
 fei, it, and///Vr6's galley, mull have been 
 built . ion piles, and only in the fhape 
 of a galley. Tlie like may be faid of 
 other enormous mafles, fafhion'd like a 
 galley, and made fall to keys with cables 
 or chains, either to ferve at publick fpec- 
 tacles, or particular entertainments. 
 
 mull have been above 100 foot long; 
 which being a palpable impollibility, 
 he concludes, that hiflorians.ior want ot 
 being duly informed themfelves (which 
 is too often thcca(c) have milled us ; or 
 that theii: Ihips, which did contain fo 
 great a number of rowers, were built on- 
 ly for pomp and parade, without any 
 view to ulelulnels in war or commerce. 
 All thefe argumentations may be further 
 flrengthcned by others, drawn from the 
 equilibrium, which mufl be pundlualiy 
 kept up in a fhip, as well when at rell, 
 as when under lail. If the qucftion in 
 Q debate be brought to the teft in hydro- 
 ilaticks, it will be evident that m the 
 llrudlurc, which authors attribute to 
 them, the fliips of the antients could not 
 keep the lea. To the objection, that the 
 lecret of the antient? in building their 
 Biremes and Triremes inay have been 
 loll, DeJhiViks very plaufibly Ihows that 
 
 The like are to be feen at Conjtantivople D mathematical arts, far from decaying, 
 and^mic^'for the diverfion of the people. 
 Several had two rudders, one at the 
 prow , and t'other at the Hern, to tack 
 about the more readily. The Roman gal- 
 leys were but lightly ballafted, nor did 
 they want much, being only employed ' 
 in Imooth feas ; whereas the Gmilijh p 
 lliips were flat-bottomed, and very un- 
 wieldy; belide.sbcing very lofty towards 
 the head and Hern, they required to be 
 well ballalled. The barks of trees lup- 
 ply'd them with tackling; they carry 'd 
 only one very tall raaft, with two long 
 yards on it; the fails oi Mediterranean 
 
 improve Irom age to age, tho' sny par- 
 ticular knack, or fccret, in drugs, \i!t. 
 may be loll. 
 
 rhe argument drawn from the baflb 
 relievos, upon the Columna Trjjana at 
 Rome, appears a very flight one to M. 
 D. on account of the irregularity and 
 confulion in what is look'd upon as Bi - 
 rcmes andTrireraes; and the like may be 
 laid of thofc medals, on which fome wilt 
 pretend to diicern feveral tire of oars ; 
 the refpcdtive differences can hardly be 
 exprefs d within the comp ifs of a raeJai. 
 He at length comes to lay down I'is 
 
 fliips were of flax, whereas thole which F own conjerture," about Vhe frame of tiie 
 lailed on the ocean always had them of antient galleys, and, particularly of the 
 
 fupplefkins. well tanned. Thefe fails 
 were diverfly painted, for the better ob- 
 fcrving orders, fomething like to what 
 is this day ufed. They had pumps to 
 clear the fliips of water, and leads to 
 foiind the bottoms for fafe anchorage. 
 
 The author, after an explicu delcrip- 
 tioti of the proportions oblerved by the 
 antients in their fliips and galleys, pro- 
 ceeds to examine the pofition and big- 
 nefs of the oars, which very probsbfv 
 areof ancienter date than fails. It is 
 not certainly known what were the di 
 
 Triremis, which was their moll ufual 
 fighting fhip. The flrudure of a Tri- 
 reniib exhibits feveral rows, or tires, of 
 oars, witheut having recourfe to any al- 
 teration in the frame of the galley. Ac- 
 cording to him, the firll row reaclicd 
 fiom the prow to the maft ; the fecond. 
 from the maft to theifter callle, and the 
 third row was along the after cailk and 
 poop, and this was the difpofition in a 
 complcat Triremis. The three flories 
 were raifed above each other, ainphithe- 
 atrewife, and all communication be- 
 
 menfions of the antient galley oars ; but n twixt them was blinded, in the time of 
 
 thofe ufed in our largell galleys, do not 
 exceed 36 or 40 feet in lenpth : They

 the enemy having opened a malked battery! of 
 6 guns in the very curtain they then were at- 
 tempting to make a breach in, and begun to 
 open another in the curtain adjoining, fo that 
 their fire bceame much fuperior to ours, nine 
 of our guns being difabled ; the Admiral here- 
 upon called 3 council of war on September 30, 
 where the ftate of affairs being taken into 
 ccnfideration, and it appearing, that the fttength 
 of the army was reduced above 70c men, fince 
 takmg the field, and daily leffening by fick- 
 nefs, occafioned by their fatigue; that the 
 1^ Ihips of war could be of no fervice againft the 
 enemy's works, having cannonaded a whole 
 day without apparent effeft ; that the monfoons 
 and rainy feafon were daily expefted, which 
 would not only oblige them to raife the fiege 
 with the lofs of the artillery and ftores, but in 
 all probability render the rivers impafTable, dc- 
 ftroy the roads, and cut off the retreat of the 
 army to Fort St David, befides the ri/k of 
 U the ihips being driven off the coafts ; for thefe 
 reafons it was unanimoudy refnlved to embark 
 the ftores and cannon, and raife the fiege. 
 
 From O&ober i, to the 4th they were em . 
 ployed in petting oft" their things from the 
 fliore; on the 5th they fet fire to the batteries, 
 and reimbarked the failors ; ani the 6th in 
 the morning the army began to march for 
 Fort St. Dipvid, and having demolilhcd the 
 Fort of ^ria Coupan in their way, they ar- 
 rived the next evening at Fort St David. 
 
 The feveral little rivers the army had to pafs 
 the laft day, were fo fwelled, and the roads fo 
 full of water from the heavy rains that fell 
 the night before, as to make' it evident they 
 had moved but juft in time, as another fuch a 
 fhower would have rendered them impaffable 
 in many places.

 At Berlin, the i8th Afareb 1749, N. S. p 
 
 On the Probibitien f CatnbrUkf. 
 
 BY the ftatute of the 1 8th of K. Gev. 
 lid, the felling ai^xl wearing of 
 cambricks and French lawns was pro- 
 hibited after the 24th of June 1748, 
 under the penalty of j /. to the infor- 
 mer. But it was provided that if any D 
 perfon, profecnted as a wearer, after the 
 z±l\ioiJune 1748, fliould diicover the 
 feller, the feller only (hould pay the fine, 
 and the wearer be difcharged. 
 
 The time limited for wearing and 
 felling, being the lame, by this aft, a 
 
 an attempt to eftedl, proves to lave 
 been thought equitable, is not effeaci 
 thro' the impotence of the attempt. 
 
 The wearers of cambricks after dw 
 zS^hoi March 1749, which cajnbrick« 
 were bought before the 24th of Juw 
 1748, when legally fold, teing the foite 
 oftenders, are liable to the penalty with- 
 out refource; but perfonswqaring cam- 
 bricks, bought after the 24tli o* Jum 
 1748, when prohibited to be fold", ams 
 guilty in common with the feUer, and 
 on convifting him as tJw firft oScndor, 
 fave themfclvesfrom thepeniilty. 
 
 It is plain, from the whole, that tie 
 nation mull lofca fum eqial totitc vaTnae 
 of the unworn out cambricis, wkick^ 
 a moderate computatioo amoumts to 
 200,000/. 
 
 As no corporal puni/hinent h k^Snal 
 by the aft, in defaukof goods,oaw3ucfc 
 
 further time of 9 months, viz. from the p J.^^ penalty might be levied, tiiead i« 
 24th of June 1748, to the 25th of luppofed to be wholly inefleftaa3 with 
 ■ ' ■ ■ ' felpcft to all perfons, who have no pro- 
 perty, but their cloaths, except many '4 
 women, for whom the goods of the llw6^ 
 band arc made liable by thead. > 
 
 This adl is alfo, in a great dcg3«^ 
 render'd ineffeftual, by the diffiatity 
 
 .to 
 
 March 1 749, was given by the aft of 
 the 2ift of K. Geo. f Jd, for the wearing 
 out fuch cambricks, ijfc. as had been 
 bought during the time in which they 
 were lawfully fold.but no other. Jt was, 
 therefore, enafted, that if a perfon, on 
 
 being profecuted for wearing cambricks, F of diltinguilhing cambricks (ft» calfccf. 
 
 i^c. between the 24th- of June 1748. 
 and the 25th ot March 1749, fliould 
 make affidavit that they were bought be- 
 fore the fale was prohibited, t/z. before 
 the faid 24th ot June, they Ihould be 
 fubjeft to no penalty. 
 
 from Cambray, where th^ are maa^- 
 faftured) from other fine imncns, nKde 
 in Ireland and other places, which are 
 no more cambricks, than Scotch linneES 
 are hoUands, though cail'dfo, to lecoijv- 
 mend them, by dealers. The rdcnv- 
 
 It is alfo enafted, that if any perfon p, blance between the prohibited, and non 
 
 Oi, 
 
 profecuted for wearing cambricks, tsc 
 after the 25th of March 1749, Ihall 
 prove that they were bought after they 
 were prohibited to be lold, viz. after 
 iht Z4.th of Juue 1748, lo as the feller 
 maybeconvifted, futh wearer Ihall be 
 fubjeft to no penalty. 
 
 By thefe extiafts, it appears that three 
 years were given to the leller, as a rea- 
 fonable time, to difpofeof fuch ftock 
 as he had already by h'lm. if this was not 
 too much time for the fale of this itock.

 prohibited linnens, is (b great, thai, 
 if the mark be cut oft", the traders thenv- 
 lelves cannot dillinguifh the one from 
 the other ; and as no information can tie 
 made, but upon oath, no conicienciooa 
 perfon will venture to inf oj-ra,efpecwIlf 
 „ upon a tranfient glanceofagcntlemau'*, 
 " or lady's apparel, as they pals in liic 
 ftreet : every informer, therefore, niuft 
 be known wilfully to run the rilquc of 
 perjury, mull become infamous and lub- 
 jeftcd to criminal profecuiions.

 Another letter relates that his excel-

 Carolina, in his fpeech to the aHemblv 
 met at Charles town, in Jpril laft, tool 
 notice of the many fignal proofs of his 
 maji'ily's favour toward that province, 
 particularly the late bounty upon ind 
 go, for the eiicoaragement of that ma- 
 nufafture, and thiyaymg out annually 
 3000 /. in Great Bntain, for purchafing 
 preients for the Indians in amity with 
 i tlie neighbouring colony oi 
 Georg^ia ; alfo the orders he nad receii' 
 ed from his majclty to treat with thi 
 Cherohes, for the purchase of a conveni 
 ent ipot of a ground, for building a fort 
 in their country, to enable them to ex- 
 clude and repel the common enemy ; 
 and recommended to the allembly th 
 
 ters, by overflowing their dams and low 
 lands, and either drowning, or bring- 
 ing the craw li(h among the young 
 plants : At a moderate computation, the 
 crop will be reduced to lels than one 
 third. Molt people have planted the 
 feedv even to a third time, (when the 
 ieafon was almofl too far advanced) and 
 have loft ail. 
 
 . As to our new manufafturc, indigo, 
 tho' encouraged by the king and parlia- 
 ment, it meets with fo many dilcou- 
 ragements from the merchant, that 'tis 
 judly queftioned, whether 40,000 lb. 
 weight will be made this year. 
 ' Of Indian corn, 'twas thought a inurh 
 greater quantity would be railed than e- 
 ver was known ; but, within a month 
 patt, a kind of bugos have introduced 
 themfelves into the fields, that deftroy 
 it almoft all.

 lome extraordinary method, to retrieve 
 my misfortunes; and wasprepoIiclTed, 
 that It might be praaicable to contrive

 It, was going into a hogfhcaJ, upon

 where we adventured together withoii[

 and a half diameter at the head, and 
 about eighteen inches diameter at

 It IS hoop d with iron horps without and

 are two holes for the arms, and a glafs 
 about four inches diameter, anH an inch 
 and quarter thick, to look thro', which 
 IS fixed in the baitom part, fo as to be 
 inadircdt line with the eye; two air-

Hiftorical Chronicle, O&ober 1749. 
 
 Extras cfa letter from Chebuao har- 
 bour. Nova Scotia, Augull 17. 
 
 \ Fter the feveral viciflitudes 
 of fortune, I am arrived 
 at this new (ettlcmeiu, 
 which far exceeds any 
 idea I could poflibly have 
 of it. At our Jiril landing 
 in thisharbour, which is the fineft I e- 
 ver faw in the world.we found the place 
 on each fide an entire wood, upon a 
 gradual declivity to the fhore, the trees 
 large and ftanding clofe together, and 
 light fern growing between, the pafTage 
 not interrupted with thorns and briars,as 
 the European woods are, and furnilhed 
 with delicate fprings of water. The 
 air is very temperate, and 1 believe ex- 
 ceeding healthful . This is the hottefc 
 part of the fummer ; the mornings and 
 eveninj'3 are delightfully pleafant, and 
 the middle c*" the day not warmer than 
 I hwe founo it in England. Every bo- 
 dy arrived at prefent have excellent 
 appetites, from the good temperament 
 of {he air . wluch puts me in mind of 
 Jta% and I thnik there is a good pro- 
 fpect of its bving altogether as fertile, 
 and in time a-s nchanting to its inhabi- 
 tan'.s. 'I'he foil is of the finett mould I 
 ever fev , cajpable of producing any 
 thkiig ; and I rancy mucn lefs difficulty 
 vi7:ll DC met with in clearing the woods 
 than was expefted j for about two miles 
 from the water-fide, at the fummit of 
 the hill, ^e trees are in general very 
 fmali, and at a dillance from each other j 
 where there is hne fliooting, viz. plenty 
 of partridges, pigeons, hares, rabbits, 
 and a fort of black game that we meet 
 with in fome parts ot England. I have 
 dined upon a -porcupine, that is as de- 
 licious as a young fawn : whether I may 
 venture to do fo on a bear I know not : 
 Some of the people have caught feveral 
 young ones. The harbour abounds 
 with fifh of feveral forts, lobfters and 
 mackrel in great quantities, and other 
 Imall fifli in abundance. Theie are fe- 
 veral frefh rivers well ftored with fine 
 falmon ; which many have experien- 
 ced, and brought great quantities down ' 
 to our new town of Halifax : Bat the 
 abfolute necefiity of every one's alUfting 
 in clearing the ground, does, for the 
 prefent, divert them from the employ- 
 ments of fiihing and fliooting, and ob- 
 liges us to be latisfied with what a few 
 
 -'— "-rr*- ^^ '-'^''s -•••V *.%*suv Mv- 
 
 quently to us in their canoes, at reafon. 
 able rates. 
 
 There is an ifland fituated at the en- 
 trance of the harbour, Whc.-c a fortifi- 
 cation, I apprehend, will be built, and 
 - will not be unlike the wooden fort at 
 the entrance of the Tagus. We have 
 had various rumours about the number 
 of the/«rt'w«/,and their molelling the fet- 
 tlement; but I give no credit to it, for 
 1 am fatisf.ed we have fufficient force to 
 proteft U'/. The governor has got the 
 hearts of the people, by amiable deport- 
 B ment, and has taken care of their healths, 
 and fubfiftence as far as poliiblc, and to 
 render an uninhabited place as conve- 
 nient to them as is in his power : How- 
 ever, many difficulties mult be encoun- 
 tered with in the infancy of fuch an un- 
 dertaking. We lie in tents, and the 
 _ great fogs, frequent in this place, ren- 
 der It fbmetimes uncomfortable ; but I 
 do not find it prejudicial to cur healths. 
 The rain falls here pretty heavy ; but 
 tho' we are wet thro' our little fortifica- 
 tions, jret it is not attended with any 
 cold Ihivcring or dilorders whatfocver. 
 rhe winter is what we have to fear : 
 Dirom good intelligence it is very fevere, 
 and of long continuance, and we are' 
 makmg preparations for our iecurity a-

 THE French, according to their 
 method of explaining treatic*, 
 will without doubt, in the approaching B 
 negociations for Icttling the boundaries 
 of Nova Scotia, endeavour to ftretcii their 
 pretenlions, and allow us little more 
 than the peninftila, vulgarly called Nova 
 Scotia; whereas, in faft, it comprehends 
 «11 that trail of around which they call 
 Acadia, yielded to us by (he treaty 
 of Utrecht. It fhould ieem indeed, that C 
 they have been meditating encroach- 
 ments for (omc years paft, for their geo- 
 graphers have greatly enlarged iheir 
 own, and in proportion leflen'd our 
 boundaries ; whiqh our map-makers, 
 and foBie of them in royal pay too, 
 
 have as ilupidly followed without a 6^^ •»""«. an puc u on me ipe

 I will make no doubt of their know-

 country, and in the oppofue interefts 
 of Great Britain and France ; nor of 
 the experience of the • board of trade Jn 
 giving them clear and explicit inftrutfi

 is hoped they will ufe, as there is a fair 
 occaiion given to catch the French in 
 their own fnare. even at Paris ; or at

 may facilitate the navigation of the

 is the gut of dnjo, ard a Ihort and iafe 
 pafl'age from the Brltijb (eitlements to 
 Canada river, and to «11 the other ports of 
 Nova Scotia on this t;ulph. This gut is 
 fix leagues long, aiuj only one league 
 broad : the navigation of it is very 
 good, as appears from the journals of 
 captain G/y/e;?, who palled it in 1746, 
 OB a cruile to Urcen Lay. 
 
 'I'wenty five leagues beyond the gut 
 is Tatamagan.ibou, a coniidcrable diftrift 
 or fetllement for the Nova ScoHani, and 
 a good road for vtllcl.t. Green Bay, or 
 Bay Vertf, lies 14 ic?gucs farther, and 
 is uiallow water. This is the landing- 
 place from Canada, where difturbance 
 from the French is chiefly to be appre- 
 hended, and ought pejuliarly to be 
 guarded againfl in the fettlement of 
 N:}va Scotia. There aie four miles land- 
 carriage from this bay to Chignedo River, 
 which runs by the French town of the 
 fame name into the oppoiite bay, divi- 
 ding the ilthmus in tf.e narrov.«?ll part. 
 It is proper here to take notice, that on 
 the iidc of Chigneiiio bay, tfie tide flows 
 II fathoms: But on the gulph of St 
 Lawrence or Green Bay fide, the fwdl 
 is not above 4or ; feet. 
 
 Farther upwards before we reach 
 7/iV Bonaventure, and y/.> Peace, where 
 the French, by the treaty of Utrecht, 
 have a right to cure and dry codlilh, .ve 
 come to Mirachi Port, at the mouth of 
 a long river of the iHine name, where I 
 do not find any (eitlfnicr.t. There aic

 iiver St Lauirence, btlow the fouth en- 
 trance of that nver, lies the bay ot (,'<?/- 
 /«e, which is a deep and good harbour. 
 Here the French, contrary to treaty, 
 nave continued to carry their fiiliery 
 tnd pretend to aflijme to thcmfelves a 
 right over the country behind it, which 
 they diitinguilhed in their modern maps 
 by the name of G.ypcjee. This name 
 they do indeed lometunes extend fo Jar

 J flaughters,the powers of lo many ki 
 exerted, nothing was accompliil 
 
 As many of the inhabitants had ta 
 ken arm% making their uni.ed force 
 confilt (36 ihcy fay) of near 1 50,) armed 
 men, the major fent a flag of fryce (they 
 having hoiiled a French flag) 10 know 
 the reafon of their ading in this hoftiie 
 manner, and aterwards had an inter- 
 view with M. le Csrne ; upon which 
 our forces reimbarked, and are fafely 
 returned to Minas. 
 
 What pafled at this interview is not 
 made publick, but it is probable the e- 
 nemy Were too well fecured, and ^ad 
 too great a fuperiority, to make an at- 
 tempt prafticable. 
 
 This line, which the French would 
 now extend their claim to, will range 
 eaftcrly from Crown point ne !y in the 
 latitude of «.\ deg. 30 minutes ; w#di 
 will not only cut oiF fome millions of 
 acres, the indifputable property of the 
 JVf(/.£)»g/jW colonies ; but falling into 
 a place called Pembfcut Buy, gives the ^ 
 French near three quarters of Accadin, 
 or "Nova Scotia, according to its ever 
 known and acknowledged boundaries, 
 and above 100 leaguts of fine fea coall', 
 covered with innumerable iflands, fine 
 harbours andfiftiing banks, that will in 
 time of war put it in their power to cut I 
 oiFthe whole trade of the northern co- 
 lonies, ruin the fettlement we are mak- 
 ing, and begger the whole continent ; 
 befides furnifhing them with a fertile 
 country covered with an inexhaullible 
 ftock of trees and timber, fo' building 
 and mailing their navy ; and appears o 
 to me of much more confcquence to the 
 nation, than thefcorched neut.al iflands

 The antiquity of the fettlements of

 : certainly a quellion foreign to this 
 iiinite ; however, as the French com 
 
 and his fucceffors the fovereignty of al 
 the countries Cabot flioultf difcover, 
 which he and his heirs could fettle only 
 as valfals. But many fubjefts of Etig- 
 
 land, bcddes Cabot and his family, be- 
 
 (lie had A came .id venturers in his expedition, and 
 iitted out feveral ve(reU at their own 
 expence. Nor was the difcovery of a 
 North-weft palfage the Ible riew of 
 Henrjyil. for it is not fo much as na- 
 med m Ciibot^s commiflion, which re- 
 quu'es him to navigjite the eaftern. 
 weftern, and northern feas, to difcover 
 new countries. Neither can that be faid 
 to be a difcovery by a mere tranfient 
 hght of a dillant coaft, which Del.aet, 
 a ludicious and Impartial geographer 
 
 ot the lalt age, tills a luaratTon'and 
 
 deknption piior to the difcoveries-of 
 
 the hrctich. And if this be a true li^te 
 
 of the faft, of what importance is it 
 
 whether Cabot was or was not a r^r. 
 
 nettan, or how long after his difcovery 
 
 tho country was neglefted ? It appears-, 
 
 however, that the fuccellive expeditions 
 
 which were afterwards macfe under 
 
 Elizabeth and James I. were intended

 T!ie French have afTerted, that the

 whence they took a letter from Mri Ma- 
 caiiUy, (firfer lo the lord mayor elert,) 
 tnd another ktter, acldreirrj to ih« 
 Hvery of London, under the ligpatiirc 
 of " Birnard'* Ghoft. &c." Mr. .S;iyre 
 e»,pre(Ii;d hit reudinefl to accompany the 
 Kiiig'c Mcflcn^cniinto Lord Rocliford'a 
 houfe, Iiaving prcvioofly difp.itched a 
 fervaiit to Mr. Reynolds, recjiiirin); hit 
 •liendancr with liic utmofl expedition. 
 The nieftingera then conduced Mr. 
 Sayre to the preCenee of Lord Hochford, 
 where Sir JohYi Fielduig was already 
 feared. An inforniatioii from one Mr. 
 Richjrdfon (an adjutant of the (iiurd*,) 
 was read. The charge in thin informa- 
 tion was to the foJInwinj; piirp.H-t : That 
 Stephen Sayre, ECu; had exprellcd to him, 
 the faid K an intention of feiiing the 
 King's pcrfon, as his Majefty went on 
 Thurfday to the parliament hoiife ; al(b 
 in intention of taking poflcllion of the 
 Tower, and of over-taming the prcfcnt 
 government " 
 
 After this infiTt-mation had hocn read, 
 Mr. Sayre replied to tlie fcparate charges 
 with that fort of compofiire which ever 
 accompanies heatt-fclt innocence; he 
 flated how very flightly he was acquainted 
 with adjutant Rlchardlbn; he mentioned 
 the only i jiverfalion which had ever 
 paflid between them, in whicli he ac- 
 knowledged he had cxpcefled himfcif very 
 freely concerning the unhappy and dc- 
 flroai« contelt now dependinu; in Ame- 
 rica, Sec. &c. and that he concluded this 
 converfation by faying, he feared there 
 was not fpirit enough in this country to 
 bung aliout a total change of men and 
 meafiu-cs : Bat that as to any plan or in- 
 tention about fcizing the perfon of the 
 King, or any exprelfion which could be 
 conllrued into fuch intention, he totally 
 and utterly denied.— He farther obferved, 
 that had there been' any fuch plan undtr 
 eoniideration, Mr. RicharHfon (hould, // 
 in his fcnfes, have concealed his refolu- 
 tion of divulging it until fome further 
 fleps were taken ; that by a little delay, 
 Mr. Richardlbn, in cafe the defign had 
 been real, muft have been furnilhed with 
 a thoufand corroborating circumftances. 
 But, faid Mr. Sayre, I perceive there is 
 a dangerous difpofition which gives high 
 cncourigement toinformers, and marks 
 fome perfons as unfavourable to liberty, 
 whether their information proves well 
 gjounded or not : Here he inftanred the 
 honours and rewards which had been 
 heaped upon two American Governors, 
 and many others, whofe whole evidence 
 (he faid) flahds flatly coiitradifted by 
 known andacknowkdged fafts ; and addr 
 ed,^ that if fuch a difppfition continued 
 lu uz cxcrtcii, no man of any churader 
 or importance in this country would be 
 fife a moment-. — Mr. Sayre was proceed- 
 Wfi torciate the whole of the coaverfati«a 
 
 499 
 
 which happened, had not hi* folicltor, 
 who came in after he had begun, advifc4 
 him to be filent. 
 
 Mr. Sayre was ordered into an adjacent 
 apartment and was foon afterwards com- 
 mitted a clofe prifoner lo the Tower. 
 
 7 he followmg is a true copy of tha 
 warrant of commitment j 
 
 " William-Henry, Earl of Rochford, 
 
 one of the Lords of his Majcfly't 
 
 Mod Honourable Privy - Council, 
 
 and Principal Secretary of State ; 
 
 " Thefe are, In his Majefty's name, to 
 
 aothorife and require you to receive into 
 
 your cudody the body of Stephen Sayre, 
 
 tfq; herewith fent you, being charged 
 
 upon oath before me, one of his Majefty'i 
 
 Principal Secretaries of State, with trea* 
 
 fonablepraftices, and to keep him incloft 
 
 cuftody until he (hall be delivered by due 
 
 conrfe of law ; and for fo doing this (hall 
 
 be your warrant. 
 
 " Given at St, James's, on the 23d day 
 of Oflobcr, 177J, in the fifienth year of 
 his Majerty's reign. RochpoHd." 
 
 " To the Earl of Cornvtllis, CoiiJiiHe 
 of his Majejfy's Tower of London, 
 or to the Lieutenant of the faid Tffw- 
 tr, or his Deputy." 
 
 After Mr. Sayre was committed to the 
 Tower, he fent the following letter to 
 the Secretary of State : 
 Mr. Sayre to Lord RopHFORO. 
 
 " Mj Lord, 
 " I FIND, upon reading tlie warrant 
 of commitmenf, that the Commanding 
 Officer here cannot permit my friends to 
 vifit me, unlefs by exprefs orders from 
 your Lordftiip; if it is in your Lord- 
 fiiip's power, I have no doubt but yoa 
 will readily grant me that indulgeiKe. 
 Tower, three o'clock, •' I am, &c." 
 Off. aj. 
 In confequence of which Mrs. Sayre 
 was permitted to vifit him.

 " We are alio humbly of opinion,

 This afternoon, about five o'clock came 
 on the molt awful and ttemeiidous Honn of 
 thunder and lightning that has been felt 
 thisiummerinor near the metropolis. Twa 
 of the claps of thunder were perhaps the 
 louoeft ever heard in this climate: they 
 were preceded by flalhcs of lightnuig, 009 
 of which flruck the South Weft angk of 
 the King's BetKh prifon in St. George'i 
 Fields ; th* other, the oppofite angle of the 
 Alyium on the Surrey lide of Wcftminller 
 Bridge. The concuflion of the air, in con- 
 fcq,uence of the ixplulion from each, forced 
 fcversl panes of gUfs out in eac* buildinp,; 
 and upon a computation of time between the 
 flalh and the report, ii is thought the cloud. 
 could not have becu more than 150 yards 
 above the buildings. By tlie fame dorm a 
 large tree was fpl't in St. James's Park ; a 
 woman palTing by had her ctoaihs fct on. 
 fire, and it was with difllculiy (he could be 
 flriptfoasto fave her life. At Jilackman 
 Street in the Borough and Ncwington the 
 people ran out of their houfes frighted, fuo- 
 pofing the roofs to be tumbling about thr'ir 
 bead. The force of the lightning took ef- 
 feft on a wooden houfe neat the hatch in 
 Snow Fields in a very remarkable manner. 
 A frame of glafs-wort near a yard fquare 
 was burft out of its place ; a large opening 
 was made in a wooden wall ; the tiles of the 
 houfe were many of them difplaced, and the 
 whole fr >m top to bottom rendered a 
 
 Ipecac!' y of notice. The violence of 
 
 this ft(»i -ched, on one fide, as far as 
 
 .Barn Elms, where two trees were dripped 
 of their bark frem top to bottom ; and on 
 another to New Crofs, where the lightning 
 fiirmwed up the ground as with a plough. Ac 
 Limehoufc Hole a ftiip's maft was broken iiv 
 two, and in the Me ef Dog? the caitic were 
 feemingly much affeftod. In (liort, nothing 
 like the violence of this ftopm is remember- 
 ed iu the environs of London. 
 Friday 29, 
 This day Willain Wvnne »yl»nd, fohn . 
 Lloyd, James Brown, Tho. Burgei's, James 
 Rivers, and John Edwards, were executed at 
 Tyburn,, purfuant to their fentence. The 
 gallows was fixed about 50 yards nearer the 
 Park wall than ufual. Juft as the execu- 
 tioner was preparing to do his office, a itorm 
 of thunder and lightning came on, which oc- 
 cafionedfomc delay 5 but aboot a quarter be- 
 fore twelve o'clock they were all turned off; 
 and, after hanging the ufual time, were cut

 occafion was hardly ever exceeded.

 then found neceffary to call for the nid of 
 the military, who conduced the magilbate* 
 b.icic to the Council Chamber, whtie they 
 deliberated upon what was to be done. The 
 military were ordeied to draw up at the 
 Crofs with fcreweti bayonets, and their 
 gunt loaded with ball. The magiftrates 
 tiien came out, and caufed the Riot A£l to 
 be read to an immenfe multitude, and 
 give fuitable advice to the populace, warn> 
 ing them of their danger, and defiring them 
 to difpcrfe, but in vain. The fuldiers then 
 were ordered to the Gallowgate, where the 
 principal body of the weavers were. On ap- 
 • caching them, the military endeavoured to 
 line the Areel and lanes, when a fcuffle en- 
 fued ; upon which the foldiers were com- 
 manded to fire, which they did, and killed

 prohibiting all perfons from continuing 
 thofe daring combinations, and frot\) gat)ier-

 On the 6th all was quiet, and good- order 
 reftored. Six perfons who were aftive in

 ments m the reii;n of Queen Anne. If 
 this fljould !,e the c^h, thufe whom vott 
 call Baronets of Nova Scotia were Ba. 
 ronets of Great Britain from their lirft 
 creation ; but, even admitting this ta 
 remain in doubt, there c^nnct be any 
 in regard to their being Baionetj of 
 Scotland. 
 
 Upon the whole, the circumftance* 
 attending the inllitution of the two or- 
 ders may be rtated as follows , i|,„fe 
 whom you call Biirontts of En»-laud 
 were created under the great feal of that 
 kingdom by the King of Great Bijtain. 
 in order to promote the conqucHand (ct« 
 tiemcnt of Uifixr, and weredifti.iguifl.ed 
 by the arms of that province as a badce 
 o| honour, to hold and enjoy theii dig- 
 nity wuhiu his kingdom of England. 
 1 hole whom you crroneoufly call Baro- 
 nets of Nova Scotia were created by the 
 Xing of Great Britain under the great 
 leal of Scotland, in ouler to promote 
 the fettlement and civilization of Nova 
 Scoria, and had the arms of that pro- 
 vince as their badge, to hold and enjoy 
 then- dignity within his kingdom of 
 Scotland, and io all his other dominions 
 whatfoever. 
 
 The denomination of thefu two orders 
 muft both be tHkcn fiom one and the 
 lame circumttance, namely, from the 
 great leal appendant to their patents, or 
 from the obje« of their relpetaive in- 
 ftitutions. if from the great feal you 
 call one of them Baronets of England 
 It cannot be doubted that the others are 
 Baronets of Scotland, even if the King 
 ol Great Britain's right fliould be quel- 
 tionetl to create them Bntilh baronets, 
 as It (eems to have been hu exprefs in. 
 tcntion to have done. On the other 
 Hand, if you denominate one of thefe 
 orders Baronets of Nova Scotia, from 
 " — £■") """ "!e purpoics ror winch 
 they were inftituted, the others muft be 
 called Baronets of Uifter.

 TN your Olv.uary, vol. LIX. p ,,,3, 
 JL where you mention the death of 
 George diarl Cowper, you have taken 
 lome pnins to fettle his Herman title, by 
 explaining the dlllcrcnce between a Prince 
 of the Hotv Roman Empire, andal'.ince 
 of the Milanefe in the I.'oly Raman Em- 
 P''«- By your attention to this dillant 
 objeft, vou have, as is often the cafe, 
 been divtrted from one that is nea.er and 
 more interetting ; I mean his Biitilh ho- 
 nours, among which you enumetate his 
 being a •• Baronet of England and Nova 
 Scotia." 
 
 This laft i* an inaccuracy, which I 
 often hear repeated in common convcifa- 
 lion, hut which ought not to receive the 
 fanftion of yonr authority. A compari- 
 (bnofthe words ufed in the earliell pa- 
 tents for creating thofe two degrees of 
 baronetage will, I think, give a clear 
 underllanding of this matter, and fur- 
 nilh f6me remarks by way of explana- 
 tion. 
 
 The bart)net's patent, unJeY tht grtai 
 ftitl of England, contains this cl'aufe .• 
 " Ordinavimus, ereximus.conftitulrtus, 
 ttcteavimus qucndaul flatum, dignita- 
 tem^ nomen, et titulum haronctti {An- 
 glice, of a baronet) infra hoc re^nhm 
 mflrum An^liie, perpetuis tempor'' - 
 duraturum, &c. &c. 
 
 The baronet's patent, under iht great 
 ftal of Scotland, commences witli the 
 King's titles as ufual : " Carolus, Dei 
 gratia. Magna Britannia, Francii, et 
 flibernia rex," and. then declares, 
 "creximus, &:c. &c. et facimus, eicgi-

 Here you fee the fovereign, defcribing 
 himfelf as King of Great Britain, fo 
 far from confining this order of baronets 
 to the colony of Nova Scotia, as your 
 oefcription of the title would lead us to 
 Itippolis, creates it exprelfly for his

 Tcr were called Nova Scotia Baronets 
 before Collins publifhed hii Knglifh 
 BAroncta^c, when lie invited alt pcrlons

 their genealoj;ie» ; anion^ thole that 
 were lent him he found loine Englilh 
 lifti, and thertforc he placed them, by 
 way of appendix, at the end of liif book, 
 under the erroneous title of Nova Scotia 
 Baionets, though tlitir proper den<»mi. 
 nation had long before bten given them, 
 in a " Catalogue of the Nolnlity of 
 Kngland, Scotland, and Ireland, with 
 the Knights of the Garter, K-niglits 
 Baronets of England and S<olland, 
 Knights of the Bath from the Firll of 
 King James, and Knight Bachelors 
 from the Firll of Kine Charles to this 
 preCent. Colleatd byT. VV. Printed 
 tic London in i64i." 'Surely an author, 
 writing in the life-time of the fovireign 
 who hirtituted the order, and with! 1 17 
 years of its commencement, is a bettc'. 
 authority for its true denomination, 
 than Collins, who publiflied hi;, woik a 
 century aftei wards. 
 
 It is very furprifing that Mr. Beatfon, 
 who, by being on the (pot, could lo 
 eafily have had recouife to the original 
 Records, Ihould have adopisd Mr. Col- 
 lins's error, by faying, in the " Politi- 
 tical Index," printed at Edinburgh in 
 1786, part II. p. 197, " that, from the 
 ■ inftitution and defign of this oider of 
 baronets in Scotland, they arc denomi- 
 nated Baronets of Nova Scotia i" for 
 by this rule the baronets in England 
 Ihould be denominated Baronets of Ul- 
 fler, as I have already obfctved, and 
 wiili I could add that this is the only 
 inaccuracy in his Lift. 
 
 Some appeals have been made, at dif- 
 ferent times, to the Englifti Heralds 
 Office, relative to the precedence which 
 ought to be allowed to the Baronets of 
 Scotland in Englifh alTeinblies, &c. 
 This is no longer a point of ceremonial 
 within their cojjnixance, but is become 
 a point of law, ariling out of tJie fourth 
 article of the Union, ui theie words : 
 •' And that there be a eomniunicariou 
 of all other rights, privileges, and ad- 
 vantageg, which do or may belong to 
 the fubjefls of cither kingdom, except 
 vubtri it ij otbtrwij'e expnjsly agreed m 
 tbtfe artichs." 
 
 At that time it was -.veil underftood, 
 that the Peers of Scotland, by virtue of 
 this article, would take place according 
 to the dates of tiieir patents : and, as a 
 very great number of them were of an 
 older (ceation thaa mofi of the i'tsx* of 
 
 Baraneii of Scotland. 
 
 England, the latter were careful to fe« 
 cure their own precedence by the ajd 
 articit of the Union, which continue* 
 the di(lin£tion biiwccn the peers of tha 
 two kin);doms. But as no fuch excep- 
 tion was made in regard to the Baronets 
 of Scotland, they are become entitled to 
 a full and unijualifitd eummunity of 
 rights, privileges, and advantages, 
 with the Baroneta of England, forming 
 one body -ts Baronets of Great liritain, 
 and ranl'.iiig according to the dates of 
 their relpeitive patents, under the au< 
 thority of the fourth article of the 
 Union, in like m.tnner as the peers 
 would have done if it had not been 
 othcrwi'e provided by the ajd article 
 aboveiiicntioned. M. W.

 YOU have inferted, p. 383, 'ronn a

 ticulars of a converlation faid to have

 and the author. While the latter 
 chonhs to conceal his name., the pub- 
 lick will remain at a lols what credit is 
 due to his extraordinary narrative; 
 which would h^ve born a greater air of 
 authenticity, had it been in a lefs dra-

 clergyman of eftablifhed reputation" 
 whom he mentions, (hould come for«

 furnilhcd towards fuch a hiltory. He 
 owes this to a living charafter of no 
 fmall celebrity, who appears to be deep,

 the lloiy. Dr. Prieftley difclaims the 
 title of inftruftor of this emiitary of re- 
 bellion, with whom he declares that

 humble ferv^int (although difKdent of 
 his abilities) to convey, through you, 
 Sir, to the Scientiiic Society of Graves- 
 end, his thoughts concerning this phx- 
 noHienon. 
 
 On the »d of Feb, laft, the moon was 
 within one day of being, what is co'ii- 
 monly railed, ncw) conleqaeniiy uu 
 did expert fuch high tides as are then 
 tommon. But the ride on the above 
 day being rcinarkablv hit.ii was attri- 
 buted to the lliong N. VV. wind that 
 then blew. 
 
 It is an obfervation among our fifher- 
 tnen and watermen, thut ilie higtiell 
 tides in the river Thames are when the 
 wind blows from the M.VV;.and that no 
 high tides were e»ci- known with the 
 wind to the EilU\ard of the North. 
 But why lb? bow d its the river Tha fiies 
 ay? Anfwer, nearly Wed and Eid. 
 Then, the wind blowing (mm the N. W., 
 We fhould ("uppole (in Come meal'ure) 
 mud blow the water out or from the ri- 
 ver. It does (b, and yet by the fame 
 wind it occafions it to be fuller than the 
 ordinary courCe of tides would make it. 
 This psr:idr!s!.-=! Hifc.-.ijrCe I muft clear 
 Up in the following manner: 
 The N. VV. wind -which anfwers to 
 
 \ 
 
 the ftraits of Dover, meets with the be- 
 fore-mentioned current from the North. 
 The currents here thu3 meeting natu- 
 rally mud raifethe lea, thus confined, to 
 a great height, which can only be vent- 
 ed into the adj'iininn rivers, and upon 
 the coads of Kent, ElFex, Suffolk, and 
 Picardy.

 IN the new edition of Mr. Warton'i 
 Milton, p. 532, there is an account 
 of a miniature painting by Cooper, faid 
 to be of Milton, for which Sir Jofliua 
 Reynolds paid 100 guineas. 
 
 However excellent the miniatures of 
 Cooper may be, I piefume that Sir 
 Jolhua Reynolds would not have paid 
 too guineas for any reJ>rt/enialio>t by 
 htm, without regard to the perfon r«r-. 
 preftnted. 
 
 To impofc on any man is immoral ; 
 but to impole on To fa'r and worthy a 
 man as Sir Jofhua Reynolds, is an ag- 
 gravated offence. 
 
 The memorandum on the back is a 
 palpable fiftion. It fays, '• This pic- 
 ture belonged to Deborah Milton, who 
 was her father's amanuenhs: at bef 
 death was fold to bir William Dave- 
 nant's family." It a;fo fays, that " fe- 
 veral encouragers and lovers of the fine 
 arts at that time wanted this pifture, 
 particularly Lord Durl'et, John Somers, 
 e(q. Sir P,.obcrc Howard, Dryden, At- 
 terbury. Dr. Aldiich, and Su Joha

 1SEND you an account, with a draw-

 one now remaining; every thing that 
 was found to have diftinguiflud the 
 Proteftor having been hiinit or tlcdroy-

 This efcutcheon is in the pollcfTinn 
 of the Uvedale finiily, anH which the 
 Rev, Robert Uvtdalti LL.D.* (in the 
 •year 165S, when at VVcfiminfler ichool) 
 fnatchtd from the birr nf the Piotcflor. 
 He afterwards framed it, and at the 
 back of the frame wrote the following 
 infcriplion, defciibiiig the manner in 
 which it came into his poirellion, and 
 feme circuuiftances of Cromwell's fu- 
 neral :

 intended to piopofe. He then pro. 
 ceeded in the ufual manner to flaie the 
 difterent expences attending the Navy, 
 which amounted to 6 350,000!. and 
 iheniimberof Teamen to be emploved 
 no leCsthan 100,000 . Thi' nexr charge 
 was that of the Army, in which he 
 tomprifed the ordinary expences incur- 
 red in the Plantation!!, the recruiting 
 militia, fcncibles, &c. and the extraor- 
 dmaries, which amounted to the (urn 
 of 3.063 96SI. iis.4d. TheOidnance 
 came next under confid 
 
 peocpi, (Jfhqienciesj &e. makin^ i^ 
 
 additional fum only of 147,000!. He 
 then recapitulated the detal) of the 
 Ways and Means, and flatetJ the de- 
 ficit, which, together, am. Minted to 
 28, 1 jg.oool. ; to meet which, a Loan was 
 propofed to the amount of iS.coo.oool. 
 to which there would probably be a ne. 
 ceffity of making an addit on. The 
 terms of the Loan were a> follow 1 100
