The grand affair of the poft office revepue in Holland is now at laft fettled. That revenue has hitherto been in the hands of private persons, having been always granted by the ftates to their relations who had the greatest interest in their affembly, a practice frequent in all republican govern. ments, where a true publick fpirit does not prevail. But from henceforth it is to belong to the publick, and to be managed by five commiffaries, the prefent proprietors being allowed a reasonable confideration for the extinction of their feveral terms. The difpute with the wine mer. chants feems likewife to be over, thofe at Rotterdam having all fubmitted to take the oath required, except fix, who have declared themselves wholefale dealers, and confequently are not obliged to take the faid oath; for in Holland they have no customs paid upon importation, all their taxes being paid by the retailers. The following is an abstract of the account lately brought to Paris of their great victory in the East Indies, viz. That Nazerfingue, who had in vain befieged Pondicherry, to retrieve paft misfortunes, had affembled a confiderable army, in order to attack the French and their allies; the Sieur Dupleix, upon this fent orders to the French to march towards him; fo that the two armies encamped at four leagues diftance with a river betwixt them; the bad weather, and fearcity of provifions, for fome time would not admit of any attempt; but upon the return of fair weather, it was determined to give hattle, notwithstanding fuch a disparity: Accordingly the French, after a toilfome march, having found a ford, came within fight of the enemy's camp at four o'clock in the morning on Dec. 1, and immediately fell upon them; after a fight of four hours the enemy was put to the rout, and Nazarfingue killed in the pursuit. The greatest share of the victory indifputably belongs to the French, and is the more glorious, as there was no proportion betwixt the two armies; that of Nazerfingue confifting of 40,000 foot, 45,000 horfe, 700 elephants, and However, fome of the officers lately ar The difpute between his moft Chriftian majesty and his parliament of Paris is not yet fettled; for tho' his majesty repeated his orders for their registring, without any modification, his edit relating to the government of the hospital at Paris, the parliament after deliberation resolved to postpone the affair till the 24th of November next. His majesty has created the marquifs de Mirepoix, his ambassador, here at London, a duke and peer of France; and he has appointed, M. de St. Conteft, lately his ambaffador at the Hague, to be secretary of state for foreign affairs, in the room of M. de Puyfieux, who has refigned, and is to have an apartment in Versailles, with a penfion of 20000 livres a year, near 1000l. fterling. Paris, Sept. 17th N. S. On the 13th a bout half an hour past one in the morning, after a labour of ten minutes, the dauphinefs was delivered of a prince, and both likely to do well. The news was immediately proclaimed by the firing of guns, ringing of bells, and all other demonftrations of joy, which have continued ever fince. His majesty, defirous that this bleffing should be celebrated in a manner acceptable to heaven, has fignified to the corporation of Paris, and of all other cites and towns, that the monies defigned to have been expended in publick rejoicings, fhould be diftributed in portions to poor maidens, to which the magiftrates of Paris anfwered: "Your majesty's good city of Paris will do both." This anfwer, it is fuppofed, will be general, and thereby, it is computed, that 20000 poor maidens will get husbands, each couple being to have 6co livres, with a new fuit of cloaths for the bride and another for the bridegroom. The birth of this prince proved fatal to fome men and alfo to fome horfes, for in playing off a firework at Versailles in the evering fome foarks fell upon the stables and fet them on fire. The damage is computed at a million of livres, and fome of the men that affisted in putting it out, as well as fome of the herfes that were in the ftables, perished in the flames, DIVI 432 The Monthly Catalogue for Aug. and Sept. 1751. 1.
