OWARDS the end of last month flate was published at Paris, annulling that of the parliament against the vicar of St. Stephen du Mont, which condemned that vicar to give a certain fum of money to be diftributed among the poor, and alfo to be banished the kingdom for, three years. However, as the reversing this arret of the parliament was not upon the pretence of their having no jurifdiction in fuch affairs, the parliament continues to proceed with vigour against fuch priests as refufe the facraments, and has fince condemned several of them to banishment, or fome other punishment. From the fame place we hear, that fince the affiento contract between England and Spain has been abolished, the French have conftantly fupplied the Spanish colonies with negroes, which they do with fo much the more profit and conveniency, as they fupply their own colonies at the fame time. And farther, that feveral young Chinefe came over in one of the laft fhips arrived at port L'Orient, in order to be educated in France; and that after they have been fufficiently inftructed, they will be fent back to China in quality of miffionaries but whether for politicks or religion, our correfpondent does not inform us. Paris, Sept. 4, N. S. Laft Friday Mr. Moore, an Irithman, and the baron de Starke, a German, proved, before the king at Choify, a new fort of mortar of their own invention, which was charged and difcharged more eafily, and in much lefs time, than any other fort of moitar: They difcharged fifteen bombs of 50lb. weight each in lefs than five minutes; and the bombs followed each other fo quickly, that two of them were often seen in the air at the fame time; fo that the invention gave great fatisfaction to his majesty and all prefent. Letters from Madrid of the 29th ult. fay, that his catholick majefty has refolved to fend a ftrong fquadron to America, to fupport his guarda-costa's in the execution of their orders for preventing every kind of contraband trade. Which refolution, they tell us, he has taken upon advice that the British court intends to fend a fquadron to the WestIndies, to protect the commerce and navigation of the English; and we can tell them, that if both thefe refolutions be carried into execution, the fate of the Sparth fquadron may be easily foretold. Leghorn, August 25 According to advices from Corfica, there are two parties in that island, one attached to the Ge 435 noefe, and the other fiding with the French. The latter are mafters of most of the posts beyond the mountains. The communication between that part of the island and Ajaccio is almoft quite cut off. The inhabitants of Olmetto, who hold for the Genoefe, have lately obliged the French to retire from that poft, after a pretty fmart fkirmish, in which the latter loft five men. To revenge this lofs, the French fummoned the neighbouring communities to take up arms and join them; which the community of Alata refufed to do, alledging, that they obeyed no orders but thofe of the republick's commiffary-general: Whereupon M. de Pedemont, commander of the French troops beyond the mountains, affembled 3co men, and marched with them towards Alata ; but a detachment of 200 Genoefe having reached that place before him, he was forced to retire after fummoning it in vain to furrender. Some days after he detached a large body of peasants, to make another attempt upon Alata: And as foon as the commiffary-general heard of it, a reinforcement was fent from Ajaccio, confifting of Greeks, a people that have long been fettled in Corfica, and always in the intereft of the republick. Thofe peasants, befides the refiftance they met with from the inhabitants of Alata, having been attacked in flank by the Genoefe and the Greeks, were defeated and put to flight, with the lofs of 26 men killed on the fpot, and five taken prifoners, one of whom was hanged the next day, to deter others from appearing in arms against the Genoefe. But this check has not hindered the French from pursuing the neceffary meafures to ftrengthen their party: They are now affembling a large body of regular troops and militia, destined to protect the communities in their intereft. Gafforio, the principal chief of the malecontents, has alfo called to arms the Pieves that are most devoted to him, in order to make himself master of the ports of Alata, Olmetto and Quenza Thus the civil war in Corfica is renewed with as much vigour as ever. Schaffhaufen, Auguft 20, N. S. Notwithstanding the rigorous orders given fome time ago by his moft chriftian majefty, for preventing any of his proteftant fubjects from departing out of his dominions, great numbers have actually efcaped into Swifferland and other places.` But 26 of thefe unfortunate people have lately been intercepted, and fent to prifon; fo that it is now with the greatest difficulty any of thofe protestants reach the frontiers of France, as foldiers are almoft 436 FOREIGN AFFAIRS, &c. 1752. almoft continually patrolling the high Frankfort, August 31, N. S. The pro- elector Palatine, has principally infifted upon the following: That after the death of Charles VI. the elector having openly declared against the pragmatick fanction, which he had guarantied, the damage that happened to him from the Austrian troops, in confequence of that declaration, ought to be looked on as the common fate of war. Thus the imperial court has probably faved us 20,000l. The last accounts from Conftantinople fay, that the grand feignor has been obliged to facrifice a fresh victim to the janizaries, in caufing the mufti to be ftrangled; and yet their party talk with great freedom of dethroning that prince, and placing his nephew upon the throne. Copenhagen, September 1. The king has iffued an ordinance, whereby his majefty has forbidden the fending of Norway wood out of the kingdom, in order to preferve it for the use of his own fubjects. * See our laft Magazine, p. 387.
