FOREIGN AFFAIRS, 1753.

OWARDS the end of Auguft laft,

the states of Holland and Weft-Friefland iffued a pacart for the encouragement of their filk and woollen manufactures, by which it was ordained, that the mobility, burgo-masters and magistrates of the respective cities, the members of the affembly of their noble and great mightineffes, and all thofe who had publick employments or offices in that province, Thould begin on the ft of May, 1754, they, their wives, children, and domefticks, to make use of no other woollen or filk manufactures for cloathing, but fuch as had been, or fhould be made in that province. And it is thought, that a like regulation will be made in every one of the other United Provinces.

The parliament of Rouen, whofe jurifdiction extends over Normandy and Picardy, having followed the example of the parliament of Paris, by profecuting fome priests, who refused to administer the facraments to dying perfons, because they would not accept, or fhew a certificate of their having accepted of the bull Unigenitus, (fee p. 395.) and the arrets of that parliament upon this occafion having been annulled by the king's council of ftate, the parliament prepared a long remonftrance against thus annulling their arrets, &c. which was fent up to court last Auguft, and after the fame was fent up, the chambers met on the 27th of that month, in order to iffue their orders for feizing the body of the bishop of Evereux, who had refused to appear before them to be examined, in relation to the directions he had given to the priests within his diocese, not to adminifter the facraments to any that had not, or would not accept of the faid bull. But as foon as they had met, they received a letter de cachet, from the king, ordering them to fend up their first prefident, two vice prefidents, three counfellors of the grand-chamber, and one of each chamber of inquefts and requests, together with the attorneys and folicitors general, to be with his majesty on the ad of next month by ten in the morning. Accordingly thefe deputies attended his majesty that day, when he told them, he had fent for them to let them know his pleasure, which his chancellor would intimate to them; whereupon the chancellor made them a long fpeech, which he began by saying, his majefty was surpri fed to find, that their remonftrances tended to leffen the authority which the conftitution Unigenitus had received both under the late king, and fince his majefty's acceffion, by his edicts in 1720, and 1730; and concluded with orders for thein not to intermeddle in any disputes relating to the refufal of the facraments,

[ocr errors]

1

or to proceed in any they had begun, particularly that relating to the bishop of Ev reux. When he had finished, his majesty faid: "What my chancellor has faid to you is my will. I defire it may be executed, and registered in your books." And when they returned, the parliament appointed 8 of their number to confider this answer. Accordingly thefe 18 met on the 6th ult. but their deliberations were interrupted by letters patent fent from the king, forbidding them to break up before they had registered the king's anfwer given by his chancellor; whereupon all the chambers met the next day, when it was carried by a great majority, not to register but to prefent new remonftrances. However, they agreed to regifter the letters patents, fo far as they regarded the prolongation of their fittings, and the fervice of the chamber of vacations. In the debates upon this fubject, M. de Franqueville, counsellor of the grand-chamber, had, it seems, spoke too freely, or at leaft, what he faid had been mifreprefented at court, therefore, on the 15th he was arrefted by a party of dragoons, and carried prifoner to the castle of Dourlens, at which the people fhewed fo much resentment that they began to infult even the clergy in the threets, which was, perhaps, the chief caufe of his being very foon releafed; but he lived not long to enjoy his liberty, for he died the 9th Inft. leaving the parliament he beloged to very busy in drawing up their new remonftrance.

In the mean time fome copies of their laft remonstrance are handed about in manufcript, and it is highly commended, particularly what they fay upon the gift propofition condemned by the bull Unigenitus, the purport of which propofition is, that the fear of an unjust excommunication ought not to deter us from doing our duty. And, indeed, it is not poffible to imagine, that any king of common fenfe would allow, much lefs authorize the condemning of fuch a proposition; because it is really and effc&tually as far as opinion will go, a fubjecting of the crown to the mitre, and enabling the church to deprive their fovereign both of his authority and power.

A difpute has just happened between the regency of Hanover and the city of Bremen, which is a free imperial city; and as execution feems to be the first ftep in law fuits within the empire, the former have fequeftered all the revenues in Stade and Ferden, which belong to Bremen, till that city hall fatisfy the claims of the regency on fome bailiwicks fituated in its territories.
