MONDAY 29, Sir John Salter, the new Lord Mayor was Sworn at the Exchequer Bar, Wet minster, then returned to Guildhall, D where was a grand Entertainment, and a Ball, at which were prefent feveral great Officers of State, and Perfons of Distinction. It is remarkable that all the Companies, who attended the Proceffion as ufual, ordered their Mulic to play Britous ftrike Home. Captain Ambrofe in his Majefty's Ship, E the Greyhound, meeting a Genoefe Ship from St. Andere, obliged her to bring to, and on fearching her found-23 Chefts of Silver (each 3080 Pieces of Eight) confign'd to fome Merchants at Cadiz, and fuppofed part of the Affogues Treasure; he took them on Board the King's Ship as a Place of greater Security, but paid F the Mafter the Freight, and gave him a Receipt in full.

His Grace acquainted them that as his Majesty was exerting his Power Abroad, for the Protection of Trade, it would become them to fhew their utmost Zeal at Home, for the Support of his Majefty's Government, and the Proteftant Religion against all that dare difturb our prefent Peace and Tranquillity, and afked only the ufual Supplies; all which the Commons by their Address dutifully promised." Since our laft the Spaniards have taken about a dozen Ships; among them is the St. Jofeph, Capt. White, worth 30,000l. at the Bar of Faro, in Portugal, with the Pilot on Board, in reach of Cannon Shot of the Portuguese Fort. Complaint has been made to the K. of Portugal of this Violation of the Neutrality of his Port, in order for him to demand Reftitution. On the other Hand, Admiral Haddock, befides leffer Prizes, has intercepted two rich Ships from the Carraccas, having on Board 2,000,000 Pieces of Eight, one of which of 800 Tun is arrived at Spithead worth above 150,000l. with the Crew, being 76 Spaniards. Two Spanish Captains alfo, with 17 Sailors, were taken out of two Veffels in the Port of London, and committed to the Marthalica as Prifoners of War; but instead of being robbed and plundered they were allowed to take their Beds, and what elfe was theirs, along Some Spaniards were alfo feized in a Ship at Exeter.
