The authentic account of the prefent state of Lisbon, which is opposed to the falfities and mifreprefentations hitherto published, is contained in a letter, faid to have been written by a great man in that city to another in London, dated Feb. 10, 1756, and is in substance as follows: "Tho' the deftruction has been exceffive, yet we are not in extreme decadency; for there are many capital cities in Europe, which have not as much, either in circumference or extent, as is left of Lisbon. "In the neighbourhoods of the hill of Bairo Alto, tho' the fire caufed great havock from the Convertidas on one fide, and from the palace of Don Emanuel de Soufa on the other, quite down to the corner of the royal palace; yet all the parish das Merces efcaped, and from its loweft extremity quite to the middle of the north ftreet. But in the ftrait part of the street, the palaces of the marquils of Marialva, of Signior Jobn Xaveir, where the Dutch minifter refided, and of the count of St Tiago on the oppofite fide, to the above-mentioned places, were all burnt. Great part of the neighbourhoods and parish of St Katherine, the districts of Jefus, of Rato, of Mocambo, of St Jofepb, quite down to St Sebaftinao da Pedreyra; of Moiraria quite to Royos, turning towards S. John dos bem Caxados, alfo efcaped.-l'he whole district of Paraizo, which takes in the great opening of S. Claira and all its dependences; and finally all the vast territory from this district quite to Marvilla. "To fhew then by these districts, that the town has not been entirely demolished, it needs only be remembered, that from St Paul's, where the fire ftopped, to Belem, is five miles Englife; that from Moiraria to Reyes is two; and that from St Jofeph to St Sebaftiano da Pe dreya is at least two more; all which spaces have received but little damage. The district of Alfama, quite to Marvilla, an extent of more than two miles, alfo escaped the conflagration and even in the centre, where the Rames wrought the greateft havock, there is a ftreet or two through which the fire never paffed. All the other parts above-mentioned are almost every where inhabited, and shops and manufactures carried on. It is true, there are great numbers of baracks in all the openings and air-lets, as Campo de coral, Cotovia, Bonos Ayres, Boa morte, near the filk manufac tory, and other places. "The greatest part of the houses are propt, fome on account of damage, but more by precaution. Still, as they are almost all fecured with props, it is thence conjectured by the people that all are ruinous. Most of the churches are down; even thofe which have not fallen are confiderably fhattered; for as the earthquake wrought the ftrongest impretfions where it met with most refillance, thele Received the greatest damage. 255 "The churches which, having first futfer'd by the tremor, were deftroyed by fire, are, Loyos, S. Maria mayor, Madalena, Conceycao nova e velha, Mifericordia, S. Jufta, S. Nicolao, S. Julian, Victoria, S. Domingos, Patriarcal, Boa Morte, Spirito Santo, Martyres, S. Fran cifco, Corpo Santo, Sacramento, Carmo, Trindade, Loretto, Igreja noua, Chagas, and S. Paolo, "The churches which fell entirely were, S. Vicente, S. Clara, S. Monica. N. S. da Monte, N.S. da Penna de Franca, and the church of that parish; S. Pedro de Alcantara, S. Anma, Calvario, and S. Antonio dos Capuxos. The churches of the Paulifts, of Jefus, of S. Benedict, fuffered no damage; but those of the Bernardines of Madre de Deos, and Santos Velba, tho' standing, are much shattered. "The number of dead at firft was made to amount to 14 or 15,000; fome have fince fwelled it to 40,000. But I can by no means bring myself to give into it. Setuval, tho' but a little town, has greatly fuffered; for of all its churches, only three or four of the fmallest escaped; and they com pute to 4000 perfons of both fexes, as having perished there, part in the ruins, part by the fea, which rofe above the walls, and swept off the people in its reflux. By letters and perfons from Beyra, and from beyond the mountains, we have learnt, that they felt the fame fhocks there. "From Brazil we have hitherto no news tho' a rumour was fpread, that the Babia de todos os Santos was entirely loft, which is neverthelefs falfe." To this letter the following particulars may be added: The center of the city, which fuffered moft; was unfortunately the commercial part of it, it confifted of large heavy old crazy buildings, very near the exchange, where much room was to be had for little rent, a circumftance which induced our merchants to fettle there, and brought fo great a fhare of the publick lofs upon our factory. As their majefties and the royal family where in their palace at Belem, which is ftill ftanding, there was no foundation for the idle ftories that were told of their fitting naked in their coach, running bare foot to the water fide, being delerted by their attendants, and in want of neceffary food. Neither was it true that the royal orders were not obeyed, that authority was treated with irreverence, either by the priests, the foldiers, or the people; many wife regulations were immediately, made to rettore publick fafety, tranquillity, and plenty. Those who began after the first confternation to dig in the ruins, were protected by eight regiments of the king's troops, and recovered great part of the treasure that had been buried. Justice was speedily executed upon the wretches who attempted to plunder the ruins. After the first inevitable confufion there was no want of provifions. The dead were interred, not with difpatch only, but decency. Places were appointed for divine worfhip, and others for tribunals to fit for dispatch of bufinefs, and the entrance and clearance of the shipping, none of which were detained longer than five days, 32.

Obfervations on Mr Fauquier's Effay on raifing money without increading the public debt; to which is added, an account of feveral national advantages, derived from the nobility and gentry of the prefent age, living in London a greater part of the wear than their ancestors ufed to do. Tho. Payne. To Mr Fauquier's scheme, (for an account of which, fee p. 143) this writer objects, that two of the three millions to be annually raised must come from the 52 counties of England and Wales; that the ftock of money in these counties is about 14,000,000, fo that the whole flock would jur pay the tax propofed for feven years, at the end of which time, he fays, above 10 of the 14,000,000 will be in London, fo that their stock will be gradually reduced from 14,0:0,000 to 4,000,000; for the money drawn from the courties by the tax will not return by being laid out in the purchafe of the manufactures of thofe counties, because there will be no increated demand of thofe manufactures either by home confumption or foreign trade. It will te'low therefore, that in proportion as money becomes icarce, the price of the commodities fold by the tarmer will be low; and when he can no longer Tell his corn, cattle, butter, cheese, and woo, for fo good a price as he d es now, he will no longer be able to pay fo much rent as he does how; and the gentlemen of fortune, who now pa 4. in the pound land-tax, could not pay it when their lands fhould produce only a fourth of what they pro.uce now, which must be the cafe at the end of leven years, when 3s. of 4s. in every county will have been carried out of it. The articles of luxury muft alfo fuffer from the face caufe, and fo the manufacturer who fupplies them muft perish for want of employment. Suc. is the fum of this writer's objections to Mr Fauquier's fcheme. The advantages which he Jays arife from the rcfidence of the nobility and gentry in London, are, the effect of the confumption of various commodities, which by their living in London is increased, for London only provides houfes, the materials even for thofe houfes, as well as the cloathing and provifion for the people, are provided in the country. 33. Confiderations on the utility and neceffity of a marine in every trading country. To which is annexed, a fcheme for augmenting the navy, and a plan of operations in time of war with France. Hunt. 6d. Thefe confiderations are fuch as are common to all political pamphlets and news-papers that have appeared in the memory of man. The fcheme for augmenting the navy, and the. plan of operations, are in fubftance as follows: Let there be confiantly 16,000 failors, and 16,000 marines; let the marines be always quartered near the fea-coat, and be exercited on board the fleet as often as occafion fhould require. Let there be a dock at Kingfale for building and refitting, and let 10,000 failors be fupported on the Ib eftablishment, and a proportionate num.ber by Jamaica and Barbaders. Let the government always have 179 fhips ready for fervice, 55 of 84 guns, 43 of 74, 31 of 64, 20 of 36, and 50 of 24 guns, besides floops, bomb-veffels, tenders, and fire-fhips and let none of these ships have more than two decks; let them however be as ftrongly timbered and carry guns of as large a bore as the beft three-deck fhips of 112 guns; for three deck fhips cannot conveniently continue at fea fo long as two-deck ships, and the disadvantage of having no first rates would be overballanced by the advantage of having two inftead of one. As to the deflination of this fleet in a time of war with France, let it be divided into ten fquadrons. Let the first, confifling of 18 fhips of 84 guns and 30 64, cruife before Breft, and after a month, let the 84 gun fhips be relieved by three at a time every week, and let the 64 gun fhips return one at a time, at the difcretion of the commander, to be docked. As these large hips would be obliged to cruise at a diftance from shore, and if the wind should blow ftrongly at weft may be obliged to change their ftation, let two 24 gun fhips and three floops cruife as near Breft as poffible, and by signals or otherwife give notice to the fleet of the motions of the enemy. If the enemy conti nued in harbour, let the fleet as foon as poffible return to its station; if the enemy comes out, let the fleet give chafe. Let a fecond fquad on of 3 fhips of 74 guns, and 3 of 64 guns cruife to the distance of 20 leagues on and off K.ngfale; a third, of 3 ships of 84 and 6 of 74 guns, attended by 3 of 24 and 3 loops, cruize between Lisbon and Gibral tar, one third of the quadron to be relieved every fix weeks. Let a 4th fquadron of 12 ships of 7 guns, and 6 of 84 block up Toulon, to be relieved by 6 fhips every four months. Le 3 thips of 36 guns and 6 of 24 be employed in the Medeterran an, to annoy the enemy's trade, Thele migh be careened it Port Maban. Let a 5th fquadron of 6 this of 68 guns, 6 of 74, 56 36 and 6 of 24, be iéferved for the Dorens and Spitbead, between which places fmall floops fhould continually cruize, to fignis fy by proper gna's when one part of the fleet wante. the affiftance of the other. This fquad on, as it may be fpread from Portfmo th to the Lizard, would render the pri areers of the enemy useless. Let a 6th fq adron of 3 64 and 2 36 guns cruize off the Orkneys. A 7th of one 84 guns, two 74, and two 64, be or dered to the Eaft Indies, to protect the trade and fettlements. An 8th, of three 84 guns, three 74, and three 64 be defined to Halifax, to stay till Oober. then come home, and iеturn back in April. In the mean time, that the coaft may not be quite without defence, four of the Kingfale squadron may be stationed there, in the room of the others. A gh, fquadron of three 84, three 74, and three 64 guns attended by three of 36, and three of 24, fhould cruize off the Leward Iflands; and a 10th, confifting of three 84 and fix 64, aided by two of 36 guns and three of 24, fhould be ftationed at Jamaica; both thele fquadrons to be relieved every tour or five months, with two 84, five 74, and five 64 gun fhips. This writer alfo ftrongly urges, that the fhips be kept clean, and the men well fed, well ufed, and well paid. Hiftorical Hiftorical Chronicle, May 1756. On the prefent Occafion every article relating to the invafion of Minorca muft d fere particular regard; ve hall therefore endeavour to bring togther the different accounts with a view to difcover the real fate of affairs in that island HE firft letters that mention ed this expedition with cer- A tainty were dated from Toulon the 16 of last mon h; and affured us, that on the 8th the fleet fet fail for the ifles of Hieres, where it was formed in order, & remain'd till the 12th, when 230 fail including veffels of all kinds, took their departure for Minorca with a favourable wind, But the next day a ftorm arofe which scattered the transports, and diforder'd their convoy. B In this form a merchantman and 14 tartans received fo much damage that there was a neceffity for fending them back, after taking out the troops and provifions they had on board. When the Marshal Duke de Richelieu, who commands the land-forces left Toulon he order'd the post-mafter to fend to Minorca the packets that fhould come from court directed to him, which left the expedition he was en gaged in no longer a fecret. The tranfports were convoy'd by the Ma quis de la Galiffenniere with 10 fhips of the line befides frigates, and at the fame time feven fhips of the line, three frigates two xebecks and two floops were left to guard the port. Makan; or if that should be so block'd up by the French as to make it imponible for his fhip to get in, he fhould try to convey to Mr Edgecumbe the news of a fleer being actually failed from England for their affiftance and relief, and endeavour to get the commodore's orders for his farther proceedings: That if he fhould not be able to receive thofe orders, he would then go away forGibraltar,and cruize in the gutt, in hopes of meeting the English fleet. With this gentlemons letters came the following lift of the French fleet: Le Foudroyant of 80 guns; La Couronne of 74; Le Redoubtable of 74; L'Hercule of 64; L'Achille 64; Le Triton of 64; Le Lyon of 64; Le Contant of 64; Le Sage of 64; and l'Icion La Rofe of 30; La Gracieufe of 24 and La of co; La Pomone of 36; Le Zephir of 3; Nymphe of 20. Convoy'd by thefe, about 180 tranfports fet fail, 90,0" which are tartans and having a Majorca xebecque for their pilot.He added, That the whole number of troot, labourers, &c. &c. &c. fhut up in the caftle of St Philips, amounted to 5000 men; that the French army doth not exceed 11,000; fo that he thinks the attack upon the caftle of Cfect, under admiral Byng, will probably as St Philips, will fcarce be effectual, before the rive; and that all neceflary precautions were taking when he left Malen, for the defence of fort St Philips, and the beft difpofition made for that of the harbour. The fame mail which brought the account of the failing of this formidable fleet brought alfo the news of its arrival on the 18th bero e Cieutadella, once the capital of Minorca, and about 25 miles diftant from fort St Phillips at D the mouth of Mabon Harbour, which is now the only place of strength capable of repelling fo - great a force. The letters with this unwelcome news were dated at Paris, May 1, and as people in the first transports of their joy, are apt to magnify every feeming advantage, they boafted not only of the landing of their troops without oppofition, but of their taking the citadel with 300 men prifoners, the military cheft, and vast quantities of ftores; also that their Admiral had fo difpofed his fleet that feven English men of war thut up in the harbour of Mabon muft fall a facrifice: Other accounts however, of the fame date and from the fame quarter, were more moderate; importing, that the garrifon had retired, the town of Makon furrender'd, and the fhips in the harbour being difmafted, their crews were employ'd in making preparations for defending St Phillips. In this ftate of uncertainty, the impatience of the public for intelligence by a lefs fufpicious channel, is not to be exprefs'd; at length a fhip arrived with letters to the Admiralty from the hon, Auguftus Harvey, Captain of the Phanix, one of commodore Edgcombe's fquadron, dated at Villa Franca, April 18, advifing, that being fent to Legborn to take in stores, he had called at Villa Franca for Letters; that finding the French nee. had failed for Minorca on the 13th, he intended failing that evening and endeavouring to get into the harbour of (Gent, Mag. MAY 1756.) E After this account, which was publish'd in the London Gazette, had been circulated, every body's fears began to abate, and the ad ices from France were every day more favourable; it was faid by fome, that they had re-imbark'á their artillery in order to bring it round by ie, because the roads were impaflable, and the weather fo hot, that the cattle fainted under their labour; by others, that the trenches were open'd before St Phillips the 25th of April with the lots of goo men and a lieutenant general, that Marthal Richlieu had fent for a re-inforcement of 4000 men, and that, inftead of blocking up feven men of tvar in the harbour, they had only retaken ten of their own merchantmen of great value. In this manner the accounts from France continued to vary, while those received by our own shipping were little more to be depended on; only this feem'd certain that the Admirals Byng and Weft made the rock of Lifbon on April 17, & doubled care St Vincent the 19th; that Commod. Edgecombe with his little fquadron efcaped Galiffonniere on the 20th ; and that Mabon had that day failen into the enemy's hands; on this occafion the generals receiv'd the complements of the magiftracy, and the marshal in return made them this short speech: Gentlemen, we are not come tə attack you: the king, in fending me bitker, intends · only to reverge the outrages and infults of ile Englith. You may depend on my protection, and that HI will take care to make my troops behave quell.

It was probably the fucden furrender of all the 258 The GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, Vol. XXVI. the defenceless towns on the inland that gave OCCURRENCES.. March 27. Three large fishing boats, fitted out by the French Admiralty at Dunkirk, failed from that port to the northward, with each 30 failors on board and a cheft of small arms. Their foremafts are much larger than usual, and their top-mafts very taw't. March 29. Admiral Boscawen in the Invincible, with the Cambridge, Yarmouth, Elizabeth, Colchester, Bedford, Prince Frederic, Romney, and Stirling Cale, fail'd from Spithead ; the Harwich, Bristol, and Arfon fail'd two days before with the weftward-bound trade.

A man genteely drefs'd, who for fome days before had been afking charity of the gentlemen of the univerfity of Cambridge on pretence of being lately converted from popery, and had received confiderable benefa.tions, was apprehended for endeavouring to ealift men into fo C reign fervice, and by the mayor committed to the town goal. Subfequent accounts foon destroy'd the credit of this report, and establish'd one more favourable in its room; thefe laft are of the 14th inftant from Paris, and of the 28th paft from Cieudadella, and feem of good authority: We have not yet, fays the Writer, fired a fingle mufket, though we are mafters of the whole D illand, the forts of Marlborough and St Phillip excepted.

M. de la Galiffonniere fent fome thips to give them chafe, but without fuccefs. Upon the whole, as no authentic account is E yet received of the arrival of Admiral Byng at Mirorca, nor of the opening the trenches before St Phillips, we may reasonably conclude, that the fate of the ind will depend on the event of an engagement at fea. If we prove victorious, and remain masters in the Mediteryaran, the French must surrender of courfe. Unprovided, as they already acknowlege themelves to Le with provifions, and unable to procure any from the adjacent ifles, their cattle exhausted with inceffant labour, and render'd unfit for food by excelfive heat; in fuch circumflances an army cannot long fubfift in an itland where the neceffaries of life are farce officient for the maintenance of the fettled in habitants, many of whom without a fupply G from abroad muit perish for want. But while the public have their eyes fix'd on Mirerra, an object of equal importance has appear'd in the north. Sixteen men of war, with feveral frigates, the combin'd fiects of Steden and Demark, have join'd at Ehereur. They are double mann'd, and the Admirals of the two nations have received order: from their refpective courts to caft lots, when they ar- H rive at a certain latitude, for the chief command of this formidable fquadron, whote eguipment and deflination are no fecret to the Drift Court.

The first regiment of foot-guards perform'd the Pruffian exercife in Hyde-park with great applaute. An experiment had been tried by ftretching 50 yards of canvas against a wall to a mans height, and ordering 50 men drawn up in a line to fire against it, at the distance or 50 yards, in the ordinary way, when three only. of the balls were found to take place; whereas in the new way almoft every one took place.
