A reason is demanded whyChelsea, that produces neither, is a better place to make iron, than the neighbourhood ofWhitehaven, where there is plenty of both, unless there was design of imposing upon the World?

We think it a proper introduction to the history of the year newly begun, to give our readers a transient view of the situation of Affairs at the conclusion of the last; and as we find this ready done to our hands in thePost-Boy,Dec. 31.we shall make no apology for epitomizing his essay upon that Subject.
The Clouds in which the fate ofEuropewas obscur’d at the close of the Year 1729, are not yet dissipated, notwithstanding the efforts of politicians, the number of Negotiations, and the union of four of the most formidable powers inEurope, by the Treaty ofSeville.
The allies ofSevillenow see in what advantageous situation the treaty ofUtrechthas put the Emperor inItaly. We find, that the Empire, which in the reign ofLeopold, could not send 20,000 men to theRhineorFlanders, without subsidies fromEnglandorHolland, can send 20,000 men toItaly, and maintain them there without assistance, its revenue amounting to no less than 15 millions ofFlorinsa year. She now employs her Powers to baffle the projects of those who rais’d her to this grandeur: Projects whose only drift is the Execution of a treaty, wherein the Imperial court is one of the principal parties contracting, which treaty was made with two views. The first was an addition to the power of the Emperor inItaly, by bringing under her obedience the twoSicilies. The second chear’d upSpainfor the losses she had sustain’d, particularly in the fine brancheslopt from that crown, by securing to one of herInfantesthe uncertain hope of two successions.
The catholick King and his allies do not undertake or ask anything that the Imperial court has just reason to complain of.
The reasons alledg’d by the Imperialists for their complaints are, that an alteration had been made in one single article of the quadruple alliance, which set forth themannerof securing to theInfanteofSpainthe eventual succession which had been promis’d him. But,
1. This alteration is of no great importance, because the 6000neutraltroops which by the treaty ofLondonwere to be garrison’d inTuscanyandParma, by the treaty ofSevilleare only turn’d intoSpaniards, which are in some sort made neutral by being discharg’d from the oath to their sovereign, and made to take an oath to the Great Duke, and Duke ofParma.
2. This alteration does not prejudice to the Emperor, or threaten him with any hereafter, because his strict and religious observation of treaties will not suffer him to oppose theInfante’s promis’d succession; nor will thebona fideof the king ofSpainlet him employ his 6000Spaniardson any design but what is stipulated by the treaty ofSeville.
3. This alteration was not made without substantial reasons. The Imperialists always opposed the motion for puttingSpaniardsin garrison in the towns ofTuscanyandParma; and were averse even to the admission of neutral troops; upon which the allies passed the 4th article of the treaty ofSeville.
This article was the subject of the late Negotiations. The resolution of the Imperial court to admit of no deviation from the treaty of Quadruple alliance; and that of the court ofSpainnever to consent to any alteration in the treaty ofSeville, occasion’d the preparations for war all the last summer, but ended in preparations offensive and defensive, and were kept from breaking into action by the thread of negotiation; and the opening of this scene is reserved for the year we are now entering upon;but hitherto Things remain in the same situation, Jan. 30.
Constantinople.Since the great revolution made here by the Janizaries in cutting to pieces the late Vizier,Capigi Aga, Capt.Bashaw, andMufti, &c., and afterwards deposing SultanAchmet, and raising the new Sultan (whose father was depos’d in 1703) to the throne; there has been no settled government. For upon divers pretences these tumultuous rebels were frequently up in arms, demanding several new regulations; particularly the promoting of their favourites, and the removal or death of those who were obnoxious to ’em. All which was comply’d with in order to appease them: But this procedure not satisfying them, and they still continuing mutinous, the Grand Segnior under pretence of holding a general council, got the chief of ’em into his palace, cut ’em all off with their servants; and about 7000 of their followers were strangled, to the great joy of this city; these rebellious people grew so insolent, as to tax families what sums they pleas’d, and even to plunder in the street: But now every thing is reduc’d to the oldOttomanrules of government.
Moscow, Jan. 8.Advices from Derbent say, that the princes of Georgia passed that place, in their way home much pleased with the honours they have received from this court, and that one of them, who lives near mount Arrarat, had promis’d to send the Empress a relique ofNoah’s Ark.
Venice.’Tis currently reported that this republick will equip a squadron of twenty Ships of war, to put to sea early next spring, to watch the motions of the Turks.
Vienna, Jan. 20.Our hopes of an accommodation withSpainencrease daily.
Paris.New proposals of accommodation are negotiating withSpainand the Emperor; and ’tis thought with a fair prospect of success.
Swisserland, Bern.Provision is making in all the protestant cantons for the reception of a great number of Waldenses, who are depriv’d of their liberties and drove from their habitations, by their sovereign the duke ofSavoy.
Vienna.There are privately handed about here copies of theUltimatum(or last proposals) of the allies ofSeville, as transmitted hither fromParis; the substance of which is as follows.
1.They would stipulate by a secret article not to oppose the settlement of Succession which theEmperormight make for his Territories inItaly, and which should be freely accepted by the States thereof; and they would engage to guaranty that Settlement.
2.They would stipulate by a secret article, that they would not oppose the advantages of Succession, which theEmperor, with the consent of the different States ofItaly, might procure in favour of the archdutchess his daughter; and contribute to maintain what he shall so establish for his daughters, or for any one he shall pitch upon, with regard to his Territories inItaly; and even to guaranty what may be established by theEmperorin consequence of that Settlement.
Seville, Jan. 16.Couriers are continually arriving upon the heels of one another, which occasion frequent councils.
Hague.About the latter end of this month their High Mightinesses wrote a letter to the United Provinces, for the celebration of the 28th ofFeb.as a day of solemn thanksgiving, fasting and prayer, which imports in substance,That altho’ it has pleas’d God, in his infinite patience and clemency, that we have enjoy’d peace last year, this peace was nevertheless attended with so much uneasiness and difficulty, in relation to the small success of the negotiations set on foot for terminating amicably the differences inEurope, and establishing a general tranquillity, that we are still in a very uncertain and difficult scituation, and have great reason to fear that a war may at last happen, wherein this State may be engag’d, contrary to its inclination: That our apprehension in this respect increases so much the more when we consider, that notwithstanding all the blessings which it hath pleased God to shower down upon our dear Country, the sins and iniquities thereof, far from diminishing, increase daily, to such a degree, that last year horrible, abominable sins appear’d, almost unknown before in this Country; and that we ought to fear, that the patience of the Lord, justly provok’d, ceasing, his Judgments may at last fall upon our dear Country, unless we endeavour to prevent them, by an unfeigned repentance and conversion.

This is a month of great work for the gardener.
In the kitchen-garden renew the heat of your hot-beds with fresh dung, and continue to sow cucumbers and melons as in the former month.
Make a large hot-bed for forward rhadishes and spring carrots; they may be sown together, because the rhadishes be drawn inMarch, whereby they will make room for the carrots. The bed must be cover’d with earth 7 or 8 inches thick, and defended with mats, supported with hoops.
Make a hot-bed forBatterseykidney-beans, and all sorts of annuals, exceptAfricanandFrenchmarigold, which may be deferr’d 10 or 20 days. About the middle of the month, upon a declining hot-bed sow colly-flower seeds; also in the natural ground pease, beans, parsley, spinach, carrots, parsnips, turnips, onions, leeks,Dutchbrown lettuce, and asparagus-seeds.
Sow skerrits in light rich ground, where they may have moisture.
Plant garlick, shalots, and rockambole, for increase, in light ground.
Transplant young cabbage-plants for a crop.
Make plantations of straw-berries, rasberries, goose-berries, currants, and roses.
Elm-setts should now be gather’d from the roots of large trees, and planted in nursery-beds, and young plantations should be now provided with all sorts of forest-trees and shrubs, which are propagated from slips or layers.
Set acorns of theIlex, cork-tree,Englishoak, chestnuts, and walnuts.
Sow the sameria of the elm, and bay berries, all which come up the first year.
Lay branches of several trees to take root. This is the best time to raise any thing that will grow of slips.
Prune fruit-trees and vines; for now is your season to bind, plash, nail, and dress, without danger of frosts. This is to be understood of the most tender and delicate wall-fruits not finish’d before: do this before the buds and bearers grow turgid; and yet in the nectarine and like delicate mural fruit, the later the better, notwithstanding what has been, and still is the contrary custom.
The latter end of this month is most proper to graft pears and plums of all sorts; and some likewise graft apples and cherries in the cleft, tho’ others defer apples longer. The cyons cut off from the trees last month, are now to be used, without having any regard to the notion of the age of the moon.
Now, as well as inOctober, may be planted the espaliers of pears, plums, or apples, so useful as well as profitable in a garden; for being planted a convenient distance from a fruit wall, they are an admirable defence against blighting winds, and produce noble fruit.
Rub moss from trees after a shower of rain; scrape and cleanse them from cankers,&c.Cut and lay quick-sets, and trim up palasade hedges.
Earth up the roots of uncover’d fruit-trees, and drain superfluous moisture from roots of trees. Lay bird-lime for the bird called the tit, or tit-mouse, which is a destructive enemy to dwarf pears and plums in this and the preceding month, by destroying the buds.
The beginning of this month you may sow auricula seeds in cases fill’d with light earth, and the seeds of the polyanthois in some shady border.
Transplant all sorts of flowering shrubs, which bear the weather; as roses, jessamine, hony-suckle, laburnum, lelac, syringa, spipeas, altheas,&c.You may make layers of roses, pomegranates, phillyrea, laurus-tinus, and other shrubs.
Cut theSpanishjessamine within 4 inches of the stem, giving them freshearth, likewise give fresh earth to your carnations planted out inAutumn. Towards the latter end sow lark-spurs, hollyhocks,Canterburybells, primrose-tree, sweet-williams, annual stocks, candy-tufts, pinks,&c.
Make plantations of the lilly of the valley on the side of some shady bank. Sow orange and lemon kernels in pots; set the pots in hot-beds; the kernels are to be used as soon as taken out of the fruit. Shift such myrtles as require large pots, at the same time shaving off the outside fibres of their root, and if there be occasion, prune their heads pretty close. Turn and skreen Mould for the use of next month, and continue to roll gravel-walks after rain and frost.
