AM an inhabitant of the county of Nor folk; a county efteemed by far the greateft corn county, for its bignefs, in the kingdom; but this year, by the exceffive heats in the fummer, the rains coming late, our fummer corns, that isto fay, barley, oats, &e. are not half a crop; and the time drawing near when thofe two very useful acts (for the prohibiting the exportation and toping the diftillery) will expire, I think it calls aloud to every perfon in the kingdom to reprefent to their members the immediate continuing of fuch laws on their first meeting. But fo little do the merchants expect thofe laws to be continued, that, in our County, hips are actually freighted, and beginning to load corn, which the day the act expires, they can demand to be cleared at the custom houfe for exportation. This, with the diftillery working again, which I am informed from very good authority they are preparing to do, must enhance the price of grain of all forts to an exceffive price. The at which prohibits the making of corn fpirits expires December 11. Wheat is worth now in our markets 46s. Barley 245, per quarter; and, if no timely provifions be made, you may depend upon feeing in one month, wheat 6os. and barley 30s. I am, Yours, &c. AMICUS. PRICES.

A previous Detail of the Motives which Induced his Majefty the King of Great-Britain, in Quality of Elector of BrunfwickLunebourg, to take up Arms again the Army of France, which is again in Motion. ces of any kind. would never be brought to give up their mortifying demand: It is but lately they begun to foften their language a little. In the mean time the troops, pent up in the narrow diftrict which was affigned them, were expofed to the rigour of the feafon, T is notorious that on the A and deprived of neceffaries and convenien8th and 10th of September, of this prefent year, a convention was refpectively agreed upon at Bromervorde and Clofter Zeven, between his royal highness the duke of Cumberland, and the marthal duke de Richelieu, a copy whereof is in the hands of every body. (See p. 461.) B The court of France was no fooner informed of this, than the plainly fignified that the neither could nor would acknowledge the validity of the faid convention, but, on this condition only, namely, that C the Hanoverian troops fhould formally engage not to ferve again, during the prefent war, against France or her allies. And not content even with this claim, fhe politively infifted, that the auxiliary troops should, upon returning into their own country, be difarmed. The French, at present, pretend to treat the convention as a military regulation only. And indeed it was at first, and originally, nothing more. But on account of the above declaration of the court of France, which exprefsly fufpended its validity, and in confequerce of the nego ciation for difarming the auxiliaries, in which the French general would never anfwer categorically, but waited always for an anfwer from the court of Verfailles; the nature of that act is totally changed, and what was at firft a matter between general and general, is now become an affair of itate between the two courts. However hard the conditions of the convention might be for the troops of his Britannick majesty, as elector of Hanover, the king would have acquiefced in them, had D not the French glaringly discovered their defign of totally ruining his army and his dominions. It is they themfelves who, by the most evident contraventions, and most outrageous conduct, have set the king free from every obligation under which he was laid by the convention. His royal highnefs the duke of Cumberland, who had on his part honeftly fulfilled all the conditions of the convention, and caufed part of the troops defined for the county of Lawenbourg to begin their march, could not confider this new demand otherwife than as a manifeft contra- E vention; the M. duke de Richelieu having not only engaged to let the auxiliary troops depart freely, but the convention allo fetting forth in exprefs terms, that they should not be regarded as prifoners of war, under which quality alone the condition of laying down their arms could F take place. Upon this his royal highness fent orders to the faid troops to halt. Every method was tried to reconcile the difference. Expedients were propofed, which left no fhadow of pretext to the oppolite party; but all in vain. The French December, 1757. The great end of the conventional act (an end in itself of the very nature and ellence of every provisional armistice) was to pave the way for entering immediately on a negociation of peace, in order to prevent the total ruin of the countries which compofe the electorate of Brunfwick-Lunebourg, and procure an accommodation for his majefty's allies. The court of France yielding a deaf ear to the propofitions offered for that end, not only declared, time after time, that he would not lend a hand towards a definitive pacification with his majefty, in quality of elec 4 C 2 tor, |
