The pope hath written to the king one of thofe affectionate rs which always fucceed when they are sorted by candour and truth. In fpeakof Avignon, hilinefs fets forth, that king is undouby the mafter of it, may keep it if he pleases; that his hoifs will ufe no violent means to oppofe it; t he has no other title to it but a long feffion, much the fame as all other mochs might found their pretenfions upon; it as to the rest he leaves entirely to his ift christian majefty, the eldest fon of the urch, to determine this affair, and submit : conteft to the conscience and understanding fo wife and difcerning a prince. As to the preffion of the fociety of the Jefuits, his linefs expreffes himself in ambiguous ms, and feems defirous of protracting that air. Paris, July 28. Several confiderable akruptcies are talked of in the principal ties of this kingdom. The most capital is at of the Marquis Roux-de-Corfe, merchant Marseilles, whofe failure is computed to * for 20,000,000 of livres, which is 75,000l. fterling. The Sieur Panchaud, anker to the English at Paris, who was one f the greateft credit in that bufinefs, failed ✰ Monday. Paris, July 31. In the arguments lately dvanced by the Abbe Morelet to prove the eceffity of abolishing the Eaft-India compay, among others are the following refleccens. "According to the prefent ftate of Europe, there can be no certainty of a long seace. Now, in cafe of a rupture between he powers, can we flatter ourselves that the company will be in a condition to support its ettlements in India? Is there one prudent Bockholder that can think fo, or an honest one that can fay fo? What hopes can be given to the ftockholders that there are more to their advantage than what they might have formed with respect to their fituation before the last war? The Eaft-Indies then offered to the company every advantage in point of trace. Chandernagor and Pondicherry were frong places. Now Chandernagor is an open place, and Pondicherry has only a few buildings erected upon the ruins 447 of the old ones. I know very well that the English themselves cannot place any great confidence in the ftability of their fituation in India; it is not in the nature of things, it is an unnatural fituation, and cannot laft; fooner or later the numerous inhabitants of India will rife against the traders, whofe aim is to inflave them. A handful of Europeans can never refift the immenfe numbers that will pour down upon them from all parts. The Indians are daily improving in the art of war, even from the Europeans themselves, who have many of them in their fervice. It is more than probable that they will, one day or other, shake off the yoke; but let what will be the confequence, we can get nothing by these commotions; or, which is the fame thing to a wife government, we are not fure to get by them. If we are wife, we shall only act there as traders, and in that capacity we have no occafion to make war; or if we are under a neceffity to go to war to fupport this trade, it is a demonstrative proof that we ought not to carry it on." Paris, Aug. 4. The 16th of last month a violent form of thunder did great damage to the abbey church of St. Corentin, near Mantes. SPAIN. Madrid, July 11. The king has fuppreffed all private printers throughout this kingdom, and ordered that for the future all the laws relative to printing fhall be under the direction of the prefidents of the chanceries, and other great officers particularly named, who are to take care that no bull, brief, or refcript, from the court of Rome, nor any letters from the provincials, or other fuperior officers, of any religious orders, be introduced to this kingdom without the previous per miffion of his majefty's council, &c. DENMARK. Copenhagen, July 10. The king has juft conterred an honour on the fociety of Agriculture, by declaring himself its protector. His majesty hath not only given it the name of the Royal Society, and a particular feal, but hath affigned 200 crowns per annum for a prize, befides 3000 rixdollars for the eftablishment of a fund, to be employed conformably to a plan digefted for the difpofal of it. On Saturday the 22d was the anniversary of the queen's birth-day, which not having been obferved fince her majesty's arrival in thefe dominions, by reafon of the king of Denmark's abfence, his majesty ther-fore celebrated it with as much magnificence as posible. GERMANY. There is advice of a dreadful earthquake which was felt in many parts of Germany on the 4th of this mouth (Auguft) in the afterAt Augsbourg the thock continued, noon. Milan, July 5. We have the happinefa of the emperor's prefence here. His majefty every morning gives audience to thofe who have any petitions to prefent to him, and after dinner he employs himself upon affairs of government with his minifters. This monarch has already given proofs of his generofity, by abolishing in the Mantuan two hundred thousand florins a year in impofts. Letters from Rome advife, that the fon of the late Chevalier de St. George has increafed the number of his domefticks, fet up a fplendid equipage, and receives vifits from the first nobility in that city. POLAN D. Dantzick, July 11. The diforders committed by the confederates encrease daily; their approach fpreads terror and difmay on all fides. Three hundred of them are now actually at Oliva, in our neighbourhood; they have even advanced within a mile and a half of this city, and pillaged feveral houfes. Warsaw, July 6. We are quite furrounded by the confederates, fo that we know nothing of what paffes fix leagues from this city. The communication of the poft is interrupted, and it is by chance when we receive any letters from the fouthern and western provinces of this kingdom. The RufGrans continue to fortify themselves in our neighbourhood; and our burghers have had notice given them to prepare to receive five or fix foldiers in each houfe. It was reported fome time ago at Conftantinople, that the grand fignor had ordered the grand vizir to enter Poland at the head of the Ottoman army. This was at first looked upon as ili-grounded, but is fince found to be confiftent with a manifefto which the Porte bas communicated to all the foreign minifters refiding at the Porte, and by which the grand fignor declares war against the king of Poland. Nevertheless, according to the last advices from Moldavia, the grand vizir, inftead of marching into that kingdom himself, has fent thither an army under the command of Mehemet Pacha, Berglerbey of Romelia. It is pretended that Count Potocki, one of the confederates of Bar, has engaged, in confideration of 25000 piaftres, to deliver up to him the ftrong fortrefs of Kaminieck. Warfaw, July 21. The following account from Kaminieck is the beft that has yet AFFAIRS. come to hand relative to the victory which the Ruffians gained over the Turks the 1gth inftant. "Prince Gallitzin, in order conceal from the Turks his paffage over the Niefter, left General Rennecamp in the camp with a large body of troops; this ma nœuvre had the defired effect, for the ene my did not perceive the march of the Ruffian army, which advanced through the fe reft of Bukowina, and arrived the 13th near Choczim. At fix in the morning the Raffiana attacked the enemy in the rear, by a fmart cannonading, which continued with fome intervals till nine o'clock. At ten the firing ceafed, though it was perceived from Kaminieck that the Ottoman army was in great confufion, and at one o'clock it divided into three corps, which retired with great precipitation; one neaards Kalus, another took poffeffion of the entrenchments which the Turks had made near Choczim, and the third entered that city. The great smoke and duft prevented our feeing distinctly what followed, but fome time after they difin guished perfectly the whole Ruffian army in the place where the Turkish army had encamped the evening before. The Ruffa afterwards attacked the entrenchments, but the Turks made fo violent a firing, that it is doubtful whether they made themselves mafters of the place that day.” Warfaw, July 26. The Tartars have made a fresh incurfion into the Ukraine, where they have massacred and enslaved thousands of the inhabitants. The eftates of the Potocki and Lubomirski families have particularly suffered. L To our CORRESPONDENTS. EONORA fhall be properly attended to. H. C. fball bave a place.

Clericus's example of a qualification for bely orders is, as be jufly fays, very fingular; but it wants an application, unless our correspondent would intimate, that qualifications in geneal are drawn up with the fame extravagance of hyperbole, for all who enter into the service of the church.
