been long boy d up with the Expec- 
tation of a Peace, 1 
e wiſe, 
taken at the Concluſion of the Treaty 
of Seville. But, alas! what were 
the Effects of that Treaty? Inſtead 


Europe, it laid a Foundation for 
blowing up the Coals of War in eve- 
ry Part of the Chriftian World. The 


our Trade to the Mediteranear ; 


nay _ of the Italians themſelves 
did 


unh being the Seat of War. This 
was one of the Conſequences of the 
of reſtoring our Trade to its Strength 
aud Vigour, cauſed a vaſt Decreaſe 

in bath ; and the only Method that 
could now be taken, to prevent the 
War in Tay from burſting into an 
open Flame, was to find out ſome 
e pg 
, in re- 
gard to the eventual Sucreffion f 
Von Carlos to the Dutchies of Pay- 


ma and Placentia, 8 
6000 Spazih Troops. 

This dificate Tack has been at- | 
tempted, and crowned with Sue-

with the Emperor, if we may give

I am very well aware of an Ob-

this particular in the late Treaty of

of Dunkirk, but preſume you are 

aware of the Omiſſion, that ought 
to have been incerted.

occur at preſent, than the intrin-

to; and therefore are more pro- 
per for ſome Potentate on the Con- 
tinent, which I take to be the De- 
ſign, couched under thoſe Words, 
which have ſo great a Latitude in 
them. From hence then it is evi-
