Some Selected Reports from Kentish Post
From Wednesday September 8, to Saturday September 11, 1756.
LONDON, Sept. 9
WE here his Prussian Majesty has sent a Message to the States General of the United Provinces, in order to know how their High Mightinesses intend to behave, in case he should be obliged to come to an open Rupture with the House of Austria, and should be attacked at the same Time by the French, in Consequence of the Treaty of Versailles; and it is said the Prussian Monarch required an Answer from the States in eight Days.
Ten Pieces of fine Brass Cannon, from fifty to sixty hundred Weight, with their Carriages, were on Tuesday brought to the Tower Wharf, and are in a Day or two to be shipt for the Mediterranean, with many others of a larger Size.
Three Privateers are sailed lately from Dunkirk, and three others are ready to go out, whose Destination is for the North Sea.
It is reported, that the Express forwarded to Town by Capt. Scrope, who is arrived at Falmouth, contains no Account of any set Engagement; but confirms the taking of several Transports. The Express is said to contain an Account of the Fleet's being healthy, and that General Blakeney was recovered from his Fatigue and Indispositions. It is further said, that in this Express a Letter is address'd to his Majesty, and a large Packet to the Lords of the Admiralty.
It is said that Capt. Scrope is afflicted with the Bloody Flux, but is daily expected in Town.
Two Advice Vessels, and the Transport Vessels which lately sailed from England, have joined Admiral Hawke.
This Week several Victuallers in Middlesex and Surry have been convicted in the Penalty of Five Pounds, for selling fine Ales, &c. in their Houses in Decanters and other Vessels not marked according to Law; and Yesterday three Fellows, who have made it their Business for some Time to inform against Persons offending against this Act, were detected in Whitechapel, and a Mob rose upon them, who treated them so severely with Horse-Pond Discipline, that they were glad to get off with whole Bones.
LONDON, Sept. 7
In the Amsterdam Gazette we find the following Paragraph, dated London August 24. "Lieutenant-General Hop, Envoy Extraordinary from the States General, has demanded of the Ministry the Release of the Dutch Man of War and Merchantmen that were brought into the Downs the 17th Instant by some of the King's Ships : His Excellency represented, that the Masts and other Materials on board the Ships in Question, not being included, by Treaties, in the Class of contraband Goods, they could not in Justice stop nor detain those Ships; and he was answered, that the Case should be examined without Delay, and decided according to the Tenor of the Treaties."
The fourth and last Wing to St. Bartholomew's Hospital was ordered to be erected by a grand Meeting of the Governors held last Thursday; on which Account the Tenants are to have legal Notices next Michaelmas to quit their Tenements within the Time limited by their several Leases. When this Edifice is finished the rest of the Houses in the Center will be pulled down, and the Statue of the late Dr. Ratcliff, in Brass, will be erected, he having left �20,000 towards the said Building, besides a considerable Sum for the better Support of the said Hospital.
Saturday Night a Courier arrived from Madrid, and we hear he has brought fresh Overtures from the Spanish Court towards an Accommodation between England and France; tho' some People here imagine that he brings an Account of an Engagement between the English and French Fleets in the Mediterranean; but we are not inclined to believe the latter, because we hear that the Departure of the Toulon Squadron is suspended or countermanded.
A great Number of Horses were bought at Newbury Fair for the use of the Government. There has not been so great a Fair, for a demand of Horses, ever known in the Memory of Man, as this last was.
Sunday Night three Gentlemen were robbed by two Highwaymen upon Hounslow Heath, in the Road from Stains, of their Watches and about six Pounds in Money.
An Express arrived on Sunday at the Prussian Minister's is thought to have brought very important Particulars. Messengers were immediately dispatched to such of the Ministry as were in the Country, and all Circumstances seem to indicate some Event of the utmost Consequence. We some Time ago mentioned the Motions of the Prussian Troops, which the Accounts in other Papers have since appeared to contradict; but the Truth is, this wise Monarch without seeming willing to understand the Destination of the Austrian Armies in Bohemia, sent M. Klingraff to Vienna, with a Letter written by his own Hand, to Demand, a precise and categorical Declaration, What he might depend upon, as he had not sent a single Regiment into Silesia more than usual, nor could his Faith in Treaties permit him, to suspect the Intentions of the Imperial Court, before he should have received the most convincing Reasons for so doing. However he kept his Troops canton'd in such a Manner, and always in such readiness for a March, that he could at any Time enter Bohemia with at least 70,000 Men in five Days time. His Ambassador at Vienna received only a quibbling and evasive Answer; in consequence of which, it is believed, that two Prussian Armies, one of 60,000 and the other of 40,000 are marched; and if they are so, there is no doubt but we shall soon hear of their Operations.
It is supposed that the most Christian King according to his usual good Faith, has procured the Alliance of the Empress Queen by a private Article for the Recovery of Silesia : thus French Perfidy is likely to continue as successful in the Effusion of Christian Blood as usual.
It is confidently asserted, that the Embarkation which is speedily to be made, is designed for Corsica : That Island would be a better Place of Rendezvous for our Mediterranean Fleets and Shipping than Minorca, and with this still greater Advantage, that it will either maintain itself, or by the free and exclusive Use of its Ports answer all our Occasions without Expence.
The Rochester Man of War has carried into Portsmouth six Dutch Vessels laden with Naval stores, bound for one of the Ports of France.
We hear, that an American Gentleman, of the highest Military Character amongst his Countrymen, as present in Town, has offered the Government to raise, at his own Expence, a Regiment of two Thousand Americans, upon Condition of his having the Command of it.
Last Week was interr'd at Summerton in the County of Suffolk, the antient Burying-Place of the Family, the Remains of the Right Hon. Montague, Viscount Blundell, Baron of Edenderre in the Kingdom of Ireland, and Baronet. He officiated as Lord Almoner at the Coronation of his late Majesty King George the First, to which Office his Family claim'd alternate Right with that of the Earl of Exeter's. He died possessed of a large Estate in Ireland and England, which descends to his three Daughters as Coheiresses : The Hon. Anna Maria Blundell, the Hon. Mrs. Trumball, and the Right Hon. Lady Reymond.
We hear that Sir George Saville, Bart. of Rufford in the County of Nottingham, sent for those of his Tenants who he knew had Quantities of Corn, and requested them, upon Pain of his Displeasure, to carry to the Market at 4s a Bushel, which was done accordingly, to the great Satisfaction and Relief of the poorer Sort of People.
On Tuesday last the Bury Stage Waggoner was kill'd by the Shafts of the Waggon, coming out of the Star-Yard : This is the third Person killed by the same Waggon and Horses.
On Sunday Night last the Parish Church of St.Laurence in Reading, in the County of Berks, was broke open, as was likewise a Chest in the said Church, from whence the Villains took a Crimson Velvet Covering for the Communion Table with Gold Lace round the Bottom, and a Gold Twist round that Part which comes against the Edge of the Table, and a Crimson Velvet Vallon with Gold Fringe Top and Bottom.
Last Saturday John Hughes, Servant to Mr. Peter Snee, of Queen-Street, was sent to Wood-street Compter, on suspicion of Forgery, and Yesterday he was carried before Alderman Rawlinson at Guildhall, who committed him to Newgate. He brought a Bill drawn upon Mr. Snee for �25 to which Mr. Snee's Acceptance and Orders to be paid when due, by Mess. Vere and Co. Bankers, in Lombard-Street, were forged. Upon searching him, another �25 Bill, with the same counterfeit Acceptance, was found in his Waistcoat Pocket.
On Sunday Morning was married, at St. Paul's, Covent-Garden, the Rev. Mr. Mence of Biggleswade, a Gentleman of about 78 Years of Age, to Miss Kitty Glasse, of Tavistock-Street, an agreeable young Lady about 22.
Margate, Sept. 6. This Morning arrived his Majesty's Sloop Wolf, with the Convoy from Ostend; also the Hazard Sloop, with the French Privateer, which she took off Yarmouth.
Derby, Sept. 4. We have the Wirksworth and Cromford Mob in Town this Evening, destroying the French Stones used at our Corn-Mills. They called at Durley, (about a Mile off) but the Mayor, whose Conduct cannot be too much commended, got there with a Party of Dragoons just before, and kept them off, till Mr. Gisbourne and Mr. Rivett came up, who, by mild Terms, prevented any Mischief at those Mills. However they marched on to this Place, and pulled down three Pair of French Stones; when the Soldiers returned and took some of the Rioters into Custody at thee Holms Mills; and in bringing them to the Town-Hall the Mob attacked the Dragoons with Stones, upon which they were obliged to fire, and wounded two Men. The Town is in the greatest Confusion, and God knows how it will end.
Bristol, Sept. 4. On Tuesday came on at the Guildhall a Trial between Mr. James Thomas, of this City, Plaintiff, and Mr. Gregory, on Behalf of a Minor, his Wife's Son, Defendant, for the Estate of the late Capt. John Thomas of Queen-street. It appeared upon the Trial, that Capt. Thomas, in the year 1743 made his Will in Favour of the Plaintiff, which Will was produced in Court, with the Captain's Name cut out, and was said to have been cancelled by the Captain himself, another Will being produced of a later Date in Favour of the Defendant. The Trial lasted from Eight in the Morning till Five the Morning following. The Substance of the Evidence being very judiciously summ'd up, and the Charge given, the Jury withdrew, and in about Half an Hour returned with a Verdict for the Plaintiff, the Defendant being obliged to refund the Arrears, and pay Cost of Suit. - Last Sunday sailed the Tyger Privateer, Capt. Griffin, of 32 Guns, from Kingroad; Thursday sail'd the Anson, Capt. Washputt, of 14 Guns; and this Day sails the St.Andrew Privateer of 24 Guns.- His Majesty's Ship the Prince Edward will sail this Day, with several Letters of Marque, and other Ships under her Convoy.
Extract if a Letter from Cobham in Surry, Sept. 2.
"This Day at Noon, as a Corporal and five private Men of Sir Charles Howard's Troop, were employed making Cartridges in a back Parlour at the Swan-Inn here, a young Soldier, who was just come from Exercise, went to them, and unthinkingly snapping his Pistol, the Fire catched the Powder that lay about the Room; which, with the Granary over it, was immediately blown up. One of the Men was killed on the Spot, and all the rest so terribly scorched, that I think they are the most miserable Objects my Eyes ever beheld."
Extract of a Letter from Portsmouth, Sept. 6.
"Friday arrived the Rochester, Capt. Duff, and Ambuscade, Capt. Gwynn, with a Convoy from the Downs, and among them five Dutch Ships with contraband Goods, which are ordered into our Harbour to unlade and be paid for their Freight. The Ambuscade is ordered to the Mediterranean, to carry the Captains appointed to the Men of War there. The Rochester is sailed into Harbour to clean.- Most of the French Ships in this Harbour are ordered to the Thames, and great Number of Greenland Men are arrived to navigate them - Friday sailed the Somerset, Capt.

Webber, lately arrived from the West Indies, is ordered into Harbour to be paid off.- Remain the Admirals Osborn and Norris, in the Royal Anne and Yarmouth, with the St.George, Barfleur, Torbay, Bedford, Monarque, Terrible, Berwick, Medway, Newcastle, Rochester, Ambuscade, Hind, Lively, Scarborough, and Ferret."
Edinburgh, Aug. 31. Last Week a Man crossing the river Tweed near Kelso, with a Cart and two Horses, all unfortunately perish'd.- We hear from East-Lothian, that the Harvest is already begun in several Places in that Country; and we have the same agreeable News from Teviotdale, and other Parts. By Accounts there is the Prospect of a very fine Crop on the Ground; and as we have had for some Days past the most favourable Weather, it is to be hoped our Apprehensions of a very late Harvest will be soon over, and the present exorbitant Price of Meal and Grain speedily reduced.- Saturday last a Taylor's Wife in Multrees-Hill was brought to-bed of three Children, all likely to do well.
Dublin, August 31. Friday Night Capt. Gaskin fell from the Plank of his Ship on St. George's Quay, and was drowned.- Last Saturday an accidental Fire broke out in the Stables belonging to the Rev. Dr. Jackson, at Tullamore in the King's County, by which they were entirely consumed, together with twenty-six Front and the same Number of back Houses.- Last Week some Villains made two different Attempts to break into the House of Mr. Heatly, at Newtown near Cooluck, but were repulsed by the uncommon Bravery of a young Woman in the House. When the Rogues first attacked the House she discharged a Pistol at them, which they returned by many Shots, which providentially lodged in the Ceiling, after which one them climbed up to the Window in order to break in, on whose Head she discharged a Vessel of boiling Water : This so disconcerted the Gang that they thought proper to sheer off without their Booty.
Petersburgh, August 13. On the 10th Inst an extraordinary Assembly of the Privy Council was held on some Affairs of great Importance. Her Imperial Majesty and all the Members of the Council were present.
Hamburgh, August 27. We learn from Hanover that the Troops of that Electorate are in Motion, in order to act conformably to the Orders they receive from the King of Prussia. These Advices add, that General Count de Zastrow is actually in Potzdam, concerting with his Prussian Majesty the Measures proper to be taken in the present Conjuncture.
Naples. August 13. The Princess Maria Josephina, their Majesty's second Daughter, died the Day before Yesterday : She was born on the 16th of July, 1744, and was but just entered into her thirteenth Year.
Toulon, Aug. 14. A Courier brought three Expresses last Wednesday, one of which is from the Marquis de la Galissoniere, Lieut. General and Commander of the Squadron in this Harbour, which is speedily to set sail; by which the Marquis is informed, that the English Squadron cruizing about Mahon, has probably been reinforced with three Ships of the Line. Since the Arrival of this Courier, a Tartan has sailed to carry Dispatches to the Count de Lannion, Lieut. General, and Governor of Minorca, and to M. de la Serre, Commander of the Marine at Mahon. The Master of this Vessels has Orders to throw the Packets into the Sea, in case he should be chased by any English Vessels.

On the 6th Inst the Town of Tulle in the Limosin was near being entirely destroyed by a Torrent, which overflowed the lower Town, carried away the Bridges, threw down many Houses, and a considerable Number of People lost their Lives.
Marseilles, August 20.The Vessels destined to transport our Troops to Corsica are ready to sail from Antibes, under the Escorte of two Galleys and two Chebeques. We suppose if the Toulon Fleet puts to Sea, it will be principally to protect this Country; for there can be no Necessity for hazarding a Battle merely to oblige the English Squadron to leave the Mediterranean. Before two Months, and without our firing a Gun, the Season will oblige the Enemy to retire. Adm. Hawke's Squadron consists of 18 Ships of the Line and six Frigates; M. Gaslissoniere's only 16 of the Line and five Frigates; but ours is better equipped than the other. In two Months the Ocean of 80 Guns, and the Hercules of 74, will be compleatly armed; and the next Year they will launch two Ships of 74 Guns and two new Frigates.- One of the Privateers belonging to Sieur Roux has taken an English Ship of 32 Guns and about 120 Men, which was going to Genoa.- The English are fitting out two Privateers at Gibraltar, one of 30 Guns, and the other of 24.
Extract of a private Letter from Amsterdam, dated Sept. 3.
"Letters from Leipzig of this Day, give us an Account that the Prussian Troops are arrived in that City from Magdeburg, that they have taken Possession of the Gates, have planted four Pieces of Cannon against the Town-House, and are billeted from 14, to 16 and 20, in almost every House in the City. At the same Time we hear, that the severest Injunctions have been laid on the People, thro' all the Towns they have passed, forbidding them, on Pain of Death, to communicate by Letters the Destination of these Troops. The Terror into which this Circumstance has thrown the Traders at Leipzig is unspeakable, their Commissions for Goods being countermanded, and the Stoppage of their Merchandize being earnestly desired till farther Notice.
Letters from Berlin at the same time communicate, as a Secret, that the Court has discovered, by a Secretary lately escaped from Vienna, that the Court of Saxony has embraced the Scheme of the Court of France and Vienna. It is conceived here that his Prussian Majesty, whose Purposes are not always known till executed, being well appraised of the Designs of his no-good Friends, as made use of his usual Method of taking Occasion by the Forelock, and will be ready in Silesia and Bohemia before he is call'd on."
