June 16. A Leteer from Berlin, dated June gth, faye: “ His Prouffian
Majcity has eiven Orders that the City of Maricnbourg, m New Praffia,
fhall be fortified in t! @ Aronzeft Manne, and garcfored conflantly with
Booo Men, Inthe fame Manner are all the Ciues and Towns in the new
Acqu fitions to be garriloned and jortified, and the Resiments are now
augmenting for that Porpole.

The AG forthe Relef of infolvent Debtors, and allo
Bankrupts in certain Cafes, which was yellerdsy agrees
of Lords, and waits only for the Royal Alfent, was moved for and
framed by Mr. Richard Whatworth, Member for Stafford, and not by
Sir Charles Whitworth. This Motion was feconded by the Honourable
Mr. Howard, and it was emirely owing to Mr. Whitworth that the Bill
was this Vear obtained; which we hear will be move exteniive in its
Effeét, and advantageous to Trade, than any of the former AGs hitherto
paifed for that Purpofe. And we are alfo glad to hear that the Laws
relative to Imprifonment for Debt are likely to undergo a very great
Alteration, by the fame Gentleman, fo as in fome Degree to prevent the
luprifomment for Debt, in future, as being inconfiftent with a fiee Con-
finan, and incompatible wah a trading Country, in which not too
cxtenfive a Line of Credit ought to be drawn,

Yefterday, in the Houle of Commons, the Bill for afcertaining the
Weights to be uled in the weighing of Gold and silver Coin of this
Kinedom was read a third Time, patted, and ordered to the Lords.

Went through the [ili for applying the Money cranted for recoining
the Gold Coiny a Claufe was added, for aurthoriting the cutting and
defacing of defiant Gold, which was ag eed to, and the Bill ordered to
be eng offed.

By the laf} Advices from Poflon, we are informed that the fadtious

People in that Town were beginning to aceule oneanother. Thofe who
have Money upbraid the pennylefs Rogues wlio have feduced them to join
in the late elaring Outrages and Piracies. The monied Men fay that they
have been induced to give a Kind of SanGion vo the outrarcous Exceitce
of the Rebels, more from a Fear of perfonal Iniuit, and from a Dread of
their Property being dettroyed, thag from a Conlcioufnefs of the Redhi-
tude of the Mesfures of the Fadtion. Thet now they begin to fee rheir
E;rour, and the Foily of ther Inactivity, for toe low Wretchesanongit
them, and their Ringleaders, have commmeted all the late Depred ations,
becaule they had nothing to pay by Way of Retribution, whilfl the whole
of the Compenfation for the flagrant Offences of the Moh ts drawn from
the Pockets of fubttantial orderly Inhabitants, who in genera! dere't the
villainous Procerdings of the Rebels. A ferious Refiediion on the pa‘t
Oatrages at Boitor, and on the Confequences that are naturally expected
to follow, has occafioned even thofe of the Fattion, who are po ffetfed of
Moncy, now to endeavour to reftram their own Mifcreants, wl om they
lave roufed up to Rebellion; but this they find a difficult Taik. The
ignorant Muiutude, whom they have deluded, infill upon thefe frit
Inftizations appearing at thar Head, and when they find a Back wardnets
in thefe great Men to lead them on, they not only doubt the Merits of
their Caufe, but, by their Complaints, fignity an Aptitude to take Ven-
geance on heir Setucers. Such was the Stite of Botton by the laf Ship
from that Port, ince which later Inuetligence has been recenved from
that Town by the Way ef New York; the Subftance ct w’ ich is, that
as foon as the Gr& Accounts of che Bill for blocking up their Harbour

In the Bofton Papers, of May ad, is inferted a Plan for the Efablith-

his fixed Refolution of being inoculated, together with his dear Relations

Members of the Council, none of whom dared venture their Opinion
upen the Subje, readily confented to his Majcfly’s Refolution, that the
Tranquillity and Eafe of Mind might be re(tored which the late King’s
Death, and that of many Perfons who affifted him during his Sicknefa,
had in a Manner removed. This Finconefs in his Majefly has gained him
the Hearts of all, on this Commencement of a Reign, in Meafures which
