Deal, June 18.
THE King's Ships and Outward-bound in my last remain. Arrived Spanish-Town Factor, Grey from Jamaica. Wind S.W.
Dantzick, June 13. The Deputies of our Regency at Petersburg have written to the Magistrates, that they had an Audience of Leave of the Empress of Russia the 31st of May; and that it was afterwards declared to them, that out of Regard for their Sollicitations, her Czarian Majesty was pleased to discharge the Regency from paying the Million of Florins which they were amerced for King Stanislaus's Escape; but that that Princess insisted upon the entire Payment of the 350,000 Crowns, to which the third Payment of the Mulct stipulated by the Capitulation amounts. By our last Letters from Thorn we learn that the Primate's Zeal and Affection for King Stanislaus were not Proof against the horrid Scenes the poor Old Prelate figured to himself of suffering in the Desarts of the Ukraine. Finding himself upon the Road to Pultusk, he at last declared, that he would submit to King Augustus III. and was ready to recognize him for King of Poland. Upon this, he was immediately carried back to Thorn, where he wrote a Letter of Submission to King Augustus; and it was carried to Warsaw by the Officer whom the Commandant had before nominated to carry the joyful News thither . The Court immediately dispatched Orders to Thorn, to set the Primate entirely at Liberty, and to treat him with all the Respect due to his Rank and Character. He will shortly set out for his Palace of Lowitz, and from thence he will proceed, as soon as he has a little recovered his Fatigue, to Warsaw, to pay his Duty to the King. ' Tis written from divers Provinces of the Kingdom, that the Polish Troops, which continued to make Excursions there, and to ruin the Country, had received Orders from King Stanislaus, to lay down their Arms, and to return to their ancient Dwellings. That Prince cannot endure, that the Zeal they express for him should tend to his Country's Destitution. He promises himself greater Advantages some other way . We learn from Warsaw, that they began there the 6th Instant to hold a Council of Senators, wherein divers Affairs are to be settled in relation to the Tranquillity of Poland.
Frankfort, June 19. Prince Eugene is returned to the Camp at Bruchsal, from the Visit he has made to all the Posts that are in the Hands of the Imperialists along the Rhine. M. de Coligny, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Garrison in Mentz, who is charged with a secret Correspondence with the Generals of the French Army, has been conducted to that Camp, under a Guard of 60 Men, to be examin'd in Prince Eugene's Presence. That General has lately reinforced all the Imperial Posts in the Neighbourhood of Mentz. The French are not yet preparing to pass the Rhine; nor will hardly be able to do it yet a while, the Rains and melted Snows having greatly swell'd that River. The Marshal de Coigny begins to make Dispositions again, as if he designed to lay Siege to Mentz. He has sent Orders for 1000 Horses, and 1500 Waggons with four Horses, or drawn by four Oxen, to be got together Yesterday at Denheim, at the Foot of the Mountain of Oppenheim . He has likewise sent for 1000 Peasants from Lorrain, to make Palisades. The French Troops continue to cannonade those of the Empire in their Posts on the other side of the Rhine.
Frankfort, June 19. The Imperial Troops which compose the Camp at Bruchsal, are still order'd from time to time to hold themselves in a Readiness to march. The Saxon Troops are marched from their Quarters near Ladenburg, and are now encamped over-against Mentz. The Imperial Hussars, animated by some Advantages, resolved to make Excursions of a much more hazardous Nature than what they had done of late. Three Hundred of them passed the Rhine some days ago, under the Cannon of Mentz, and advanced to the Valley of Nieder Ulm, with design to carry off a Body of French Horse as they were forraging. Brigadier Kleinholtz, posted at Udenheim, being informed of their Design, suffered them to approach. Being got within a little Distance, he divided his 2000 Horse and 400 Foot into 4 Bodies, and surrounded the Hussars: Most of them were killed or wounded; but some fought their way through and got off. They are going to erect a new Battery of 7 Cannon and 4 Mortars at Mentz. ' Tis said, the Elector of Bavaria has pubIickly declared, that he will carry some great Enterprize into Execution, the very Moment that the Russian Troops presume to set Foot upon his Land. The Camps which that Prince has formed in different Places, have caused a Resolution to be taken, not to strip Neuremberg of the Artillery that was to have been taken from thence and sent to the Rhine.

Whereas of late some or other are daily advertising their making of PUNCH at the same Prices, of as good Ingredients, and to the same Perfection, as I do; as also Writing under their Signs or Shew Boards, purporting the same.
Let me advise all such, as they value their own Credit, and the Success of their Undertaking, to have no Dealings with Brandy-Adulterers of any sort, nor in any Shape whatever.
The Desire I have that Gentlemen may be better accommodated (Wines being so generally and justly complain'd' of) and that PUNCH may have its due Reputation every where; and that may be really made as advertised; and that all those, who propose to imitate me, may do me no Disrreputation, and may meet with Success and Approbation in their several Neighbourhoods, I have provided large Quantities of a well-chosen fine Old Batavia Arrack, Jamaica Rum, and French Brandy, as any in Town; which I sell (WARRANTED) neat as Imported, viz. Arrack at 13s. Brandy and Rum at 8s. per Gallon; that [I] ever had, nor ever will have any but such in my Possession; I do now, and will at all Times, appeal to the proper Officers and Offices, [..] the Truth hereof, which very few Dealers will venture.
I Buy and Sell for Ready Money only.
