382 FOREIGN AFFAIRS, 1754. I write you this letter, to acquaint you it is my intention that you repair to Paris the ift of September next, given you from the 20th of August to repair thither from the place where you are. And when you arrive at Paris, I will there let you know. what I intend to do. Whereupon I pray God to take you, Sir, into his holy keeping. At Compeigne, July 27, 1754. Signed, Louis. and underneath, De Voyer d'Argenfon. The count d'Argenfon, minifter and fecretary of state for the department of war, has fent thefe letters de cachet to the intendants where the parliament reforts, who are to deliver them to the exiled members; and they fay, that each intendant is charged to tell them, that if, before the 20th of August, any of them want to go to their country feats or elfewhere, they must ask permiffion; which will be granted them, provided that they do not make Paris in their way. It is fuppofed at Paris, that the parliament's return was fo long delayed on account of the feaft of the Affumption, which fell on the 15th Inft. because it is customary on that day for the parliament and fovereign courts to attend the proceffion in red-robes, and with very great ceremony, at which the archbishop of Paris likewife affifts; therefore it was thought prudent to defer the parliament's return, to prevent its meeting with that prelate at a time when their differences were fo recent, and perhaps not entirely accommodated. Towards the end of last month a great and unexpected alteration happened at the court of Spain: The marquefs de la Enfenada, chief minister, together with his fecretary and principal favourite were fuddenly feized and fent to prison, and all their papers fecured; fince which the department of the Indies, one of the four great places he enjoyed, has been conferred on general Wall, fecretary of ftate for foreign affairs *, and the rest on three of the chief courtiers; from whence a favourable change is expected in the political conduct of that court; for it is faid, that an order has fince been iffued, forbidding all the religious houses in Spain to admit any new monks or nuns to be profeffed into their refpective orders for 10 years, which, if true, may tend to wards the abolishing of all fuch deftrue tive houses in that kingdom, as at the end of ten years it will be eafy to renew the order for another ten, and fo continue it until all the present poffeffors have died off. As his Sicilian majesty is making a greater augmentation in his army than can be easily raifed or recruited within his own dominions, he has given leave to his officers to inlift all fuch young men as are confined for debt, and are willing to enter into his fervice, rather than remain in prifon; and he has alfo obtained leave from the Grand Seignor to raise recruits in Albania. Mantua, July 15. The inhabitants of this city are not yet recovered from the confternation into which they were thrown by an infurrection which happened la Saturday on the following occafion. Some young people, chiefly mechanicks, having taken it into their heads to go to the quarter where the Jews live, and fing a certain fong on the nuptials of a Jew, the rest of that nation, whofe number in this city is very confiderable, looking on this behaviour as an infult, applied to general Cavallieri, commandant of the garifon, for a party of foldiers to guard the avenues to their quarter, and keep off the mob. The commandant made anfwer, that the government of the town belonged to the pretor. The Jews accordingly went to the pretor, who did not think it neceffary to demand the affiftance of the army, but granted them a patrole of ferjeants, who are under his command. The mob, not regarding thefe ferjeants, continued advancing, and finging the fong; upon which the patrole feized a young fellow, one of the most forward, beat him foundly, and carried him to prifon. The mob being highly incenfed, affembled to the number of upwards of a thoufand, fully determined not to fpare one of the ferjeants; who therefore thought it prudent to retreat into the houfes. But the commandant thought it now high time to fend a large party of foldiers, to prevent further diforders, and guard the Jews quarter. Whereupon all the posts in the city were reinforced, and 400 men of Andlau's regiment ordered to patrole during the night. Vienna, July 27. The claim of the elector Palatine for indemnifications has been fettled at 1,200,000 German florins ; 700,000 to be paid by England, and the remaining 500,000 by our court: One moiety on the day of the election of a king of the Romans, and the other a year after. Proper fecurity is to be given * See our Mag, for June laft, p. 286. to The Monthly Catalogue, for Auguft, 1754. to his Electoral highness in the mean time. It has been alfo agreed, that the elector of Cologne shall have 200,000 florins; but it is not yet fettled who is to pay this fum. We hear from Prague, that one Mr. Procopius de Vifch, an ecclefiaftick in that city, but an excellent mathematician, has fairly diftanced all the great genii, antient and modern, if what is faid of 383 him, which is fcarce credible, be true, that he has invented a machine, by the help of a certain number of which properly posted, a great city, or even a con. fiderable tract of country, may not only be preferved from ftorms of thunder and lightning, but from high winds, and alfo from hail, which it diffolves in the air, fo as to make it fall down in rain.
