Having, as defired, laid the above Specimen before the Public, we should be glad if any perJons of Fudgment would favour us with their opinions of it, that we might Communicate them to the unknown Author, who conceives the publishing a new English Version of the O. Teft. to be not only more requifite now than in the Time of K. James I. but that his own Tranflation will rectify many palpable Miftakes in the common one done by order of that Prince; the wide and negligent rendering fome Paffages of which, he believes, has given Encouragement to Free-thinkers, and Papifts, to depreciate or mifapply the facred Writings.

From the Daily Gazetteer, Feb. 24.

Mr D'ANVERS's Prophecies enquir'd into.

Was at a Lofs to find our the remarkable

Events which Mrs Forefibt (fee p. 87.) fays Mr D'Anvers and bis Familiar had fo exacly predicted, unless they are to be interpreted by the Rule of Contraries, which is often the Cafe in expounding the Myfieries of Magic, efpecially Patriot Necromancy. Thus, Dit is 5 Years ago fince Mr D'Anvers was to triumph over his Enemy; but I misunderstood the Patriot Oracle; by Downfal he meant Etablishment: So, by his predicting Ruin and Confufion to his Country, he meant Peace and Profperity. He was feized afreth with the like Spirit of Divination in September last, he boafted an Interview with the immortal Merlin; and gave us a pretended Prophecy, which I prefume is one of thofe Mrs Forefight informs us is exactly come to pafs : The Lyon to the Mule fhall bow. (See p. 534 A.) The Male, he own'd, meant Spain; fo this is come to pafs, i. e. after the Rule of Contraries, by the King of Spain fuing to Great Britain for her Guaranty. Calpe's Rock shall quake, he faid, meant Gibraltar's being given up, which is not in the leaft Danger; and each ho neft Heart be feized with Fear, is a Prediction fufficiently compleated in that univerfal Satisfaction perceivable in every honeft English man. He adds, unless tavo Saints prevent the Clap, this he explained to be the King and Parliament (see p. 534 A.) and feemed to have had a true Vifon in this Point, I was Gready to believe he had really been with Merlin; but now, after we are deliver'd from all Dangers, this filly Diviner deftroys all the Credit he had got, hy denying the two Saints to have had any Hand in it. So, that in fhort, Mr D'Anvers is no more a Conjurer than a Patriot.

28. There was little Binjamin with their Ruler, the Princes of Judah with their Affembly, the Princes of Zebulun, the Princes of F Naphtali.

29. Thy God commanded thy Strength: Strengthen, O God, this that thou didft work for us.

30. Because of thy Temple at Jernba laim, to thee fhall the Kings bring Prefents.

31. Rebuke thou the reed Company, the Affembly of the ftrong Beafts with the Calves of the People, that each of them may Subjet himfelf with Pieces of Silver; who art him fcattering the People that delight in Wars.

32. The Grandees fhall come from Mitzrajim, Cub fhall run with his Hands to God. 33. O Kingdoms of the Earth, fing to God, fing Pfalms to the Lord. An Elevation.

34. To him that rides on the Heavens of Heavens of old Time: behold he gives forth his Voice, a Voice of Strength.

35. Give Strength to God; whofe Exce'leney is upon ifrael, and hisStrength in the Skies

Daily Gazetteer, Feb. 26, No. 208. Confiderations on the Peace, addressed to the Rt. Hon. Sir R. Walpole.

Tof

O view in a proper Light the Exellency of the prefent Plan of Peace, it will be

neceffary to compare the Conceffions made by
former Treaties to France, with thofe made her
by the prefent, and what Advantage will arife to
her, confidering the Means of accquiring, from
the reverfionary Acquifition of Lorrain, which, A
when in the Hands of France, as is pretended,
will produce half a Million a Year. By a mode
rate Computation the Expences of this War to
France may be fet at fixteen Millions Sterling;
the Reversion of five hundred thousand Pounds
per Annum, at 12 Years Purchase, will be but
fix Millions; deduct fix Millions from the Expen
ces of the War, there remains a Lofs to France
of ten Millions; while the two Maritime Pow-
ers, thofe invincible Obftacles to her ambitious
Views, have, in the mean time, been gathering
Strength, an Inftance never before known
fince the Foundation of the Grandure of that
Monarchy. So that France tho' victorious,
has, in a great Degree, been humbled, and
the Guaranty of the Pragmatick Sanction, a C
Point very effential both to the Peace and
Liberties of Europe, has been obtained in lieu
of this inconfiderable Ceffion.

It is, Sir, to be look'd upon as the Accumulation to your Honour, as a Tribute which the Enemies of the Adminiftration ignorantly pay to your Praife, when they roundly affert, it was impoffible, confidering the Circumftances of Great Britain, that any Check could be giv en to the victorious Arms of France, from her Apprehenfions of drawing us into the War; for the worse the Circumftances of Great Britain, the greater the Wifdom requifite, the greater your Glory in conducting its Affairs. It is evident that France dreaded the Power of this Nation, which had heretofore taught her the Dangers which attend the carrying her Arms into the Heart of Germany. For whatever is pretended, there is a Power ftill fubfifting in this Nation, which on occafion could be exerted, tho' with more Difficulty to itself, perhaps with no lefs Calamity than formerly to France. And the Events of Things have fhewn to all, what Reafon before fhewed to

every impartial Man, the Expediency and Neceffity of adding Weight to our Negotiations abroad, by occafionally augmenting our

Forces at home.

In fhort, Sir, you have been involved in all the Difficulties your Enemies could wish, and have come off with all the Glory both to the Nation and your felf, that your Friends could defire. What was by moft thought the moft G preffing Calamity, and your greateft Misfortune, has, by your Addrefs and Skill, been turned to your greatest Happiness and Succefs, From the Daily azetteers.

On the PEACE.

HE Writer of a Pamphlet, entitled, Obfervations on the prefent Plan of Peace, fuggefts, that because the contracting Powers defire OUR Concurrence for effectuat ing the Terms ftipulated, that his Majesty

H

was not applied to in the previons Negotiations. But is it likely that his Imperial Majefty would treat concerning a new Divifion of Italy, without affuring himself of the Approbation of the maritime Powers, whofe Confent and Affiftance could only make it effectual? The fame Writer fays, Lewis XIV. never obtained a more confiderable Acceffion than the prefent Acquifition to France of Lorrain, and yet he had before him the Treaty of Aix la Chapelle in 1668; whereby thatPrince acquired fo many of the ftrongest Towns in Flanders, as coft this Nation 130 Millions fince the Revolution to recover; and befides, the French had Lorrain fo much in their Power, that they always feized it, on the leaft Sufpicion of the Duke's thereof engaging against them; fo that it was as effectually theirs, to all the Purpose of War, as if by Right.

The Writer afferts, that had our Councils prevailed, and drawn the Dutch into our Measures, inftead of the happy Face of Af fairs, we could have been now in the midst of a bloody and confuming War. But he is miftaken, for our Meafures were not War; the Dutch did not keep us out of the War, nor we them, tho' both firmly refolved not to let France grow too powerful; which produced this happy Turn of Affairs.

This Writer alledges, becaufe his Majelty in his Speech only fays, IF the Crown of Great Britain has had this Influence, that the Ministry knew nothing of tranfacting the Peace, and have no Share of the Merit.-Is it not enough that the Influence of the Crown, and the Respect due to the Nation, have had this Effect? But it must be declared from the Throne in Triumph over the united Powers! In common Converfation, and even in frid Reafoning, how ufual is this Expreffion, IF I know any thing of the Matter; or if fuch a Thing be true; when the Certainty is plainly intended by_the_Perfon fo fpeaking. (See p. 86 G.)

TheGazetteer goes on (fuppofing the above Writer the fame as the Craftsman) Such is your Spleen and Refentment against a particnlar Minifter, that rather than the People in the Country fhould believe the Refpect due to the Crown and this Nation, had any Influ ence upon any of the Courts of Europe, you will condefcend to make use of the most trifling Arguments, and be guilty of the moft grofs Contradictions,and even explain his Majefty's Speech in direct Contradiction to Truth and all common Senfe; you infinuate that the Minifter hath be tray'd his Majefty'sHonour in therendere Points (fee p. 72 G.) whereas, you know, it is confeffed by the Nation in general, That the Miniftry have establish'd his Majefty's Honour and Reputation, as well in foreign Courts, as in the good Opinion of his People at Homet

THE Donor of the Gold Medal, propos'd in our laft Supplement, thinks it bis Duty to make this publick Declaration of his Concern, that be has been fo unhappy as to give Offence by what he intended as on Inftance of Respect and Deference, and "bumbly asks ber Ladyfhip's Pardon for the Uneafiness which be has fo unfortunately (but very undefignedly) occafion'd. He is however defircus that the Poets fhou'd exercise their Pens on that fublime Subject; and fince the Lady will not permit him to do her the Justice, to rank her among the first of that Noble and (he fears) fmall Part of Mankind, who deferve that illuftrious Character (left be should give a fresh Offence by the Mention of another Living Heroe) be defigns that that file of the Medal fhall be im prefs'd with the Head of that once great Ornament of the Church of England, Archbishop TILLOTSON. If any should charge the Medal with Indelicacy, on account of the Difference of Quality between the tavo Perfons now (and before) intended to be imprefs'd on it; bis Anfwer is, that they, in his Opinion entertain very low Notions of Chriftian Heroilm, who make its Excellency confift, or in any wife depend on the accidental Circuman es of Birth and Titles. He hopes that Mr Oglethorp will be prevailed upon to confent that the Medal hall bear his Effigies, and that both the Lady and he will be the more readily induced to pardon the Liberty be has taken, when they are af fured that it was done with a good Intention, by one who has not the Honour to be perfonally known to either of them, and who is excited to it by the Eminence of their

Characters.

N. B. The Donor has defir'd that the Candidates may be left, as to the Length of their Poems, entirely at their own Liberty. If we should, receive more Pieces than we can find Room for in our Magazine, for the Months mention'd in the former Advertisement; We promise to infert the Reft with all convenient Expedition, in our Magazines for the fucceeding Months, and that three eminent Poets fhall be follicited determine their Merit, immediately after the last is publish'd.
