FOM Venice we have received a copy Fof the fpeech made by prince Hera clius, to the grandees of Perfia, affembled at Isfahan, the 17th of April, which for the peculiarity of its ftile, we shall give our readers, together with the remark made upon it by our correfpondent, as follows. Magnanimous Perfians, beroes of the race of Sevi! "With the aid and support of the God whom I ferve, I have reduced you. The arm of the Most High bent my bow, his Almighty hand ftrengthened my arm, and directed my arrows, and I have fubdued you, and difperfed my enemies. It is this God, the God of my fathers, whom I invoke: Before his adorable face I fall proftrate, as did formerly Abraham, Ifaac, and Jacob. Fear nothing from me, ye illuftrious iffue of heroes; for I will deal with you as a father of the family of Calab and Nun: As your captain, I fhall always march at the head of your armies, and as your general, I will go forth to chaflife your enemies and mine. Yes, when the inhabitants of the earth fhall provoke your bravery, and force us to declare war against them, I will go before you, under the guidance of the God whom I worship, and lead you to the extremities of the fea, from the Euphrates to the Mouth of the Ganges, and as far as the mountains of the Eaft. I will give you a fignal which you are as yet iguorant of, and you shall march under a banner which you are firangers to. Give heed to this, brave Perfians! tell the people, and let them tell it to their children, that whether in peace or war they fhall always find in me a true father of the country. I fhall fend ambaffadors to offer our friendship to all neighbours, and we will not refufe it to fuch nations as may defire it. For this purpofe, Uron the Black, that intrepid warrior, who has often fought by my fide like a bear in its fury, fhall go in my name to the Great Mogul ; and Zolfiar, that active spirit, whofe vivacity is like that of an elephant elevated with wine, fhall repair to the Grand Turk. We will live in peace with the defcendants of Tamerlane; and as for the princes that reign beyond the feas in the Weft, I offer my good-will and friendship to them all. Valiant heroes of Perfia! fuch is the covenant I make with you, and which you are going to fwear with me in the prefence of God." Notwithstanding this puffy Eastern ftile, the character of a conqueror is difcernible: He is not indebted to fortune for every thing he has done; bravery and policy have had at least as great a share in his fuccefs. Since he has taken poffeffion of his throne, order and tranquillity have been reftored at Isfahan; trade is carried on as ufual in Julfa, a noted suburb of that capital, and the center of the commerce of the Armenian merchants, whose affairs were greatly difordered during the troubles of Perfia, and who are now ftriving to repair their loffes by making the beft ufe of an interval of peace, which, perhaps, will not last very long. From Frankfort they write, that the famous Monf. de Voltaire (being perfectly recovered from the indifpofition which had detained him fome time at the court of Gotha) was arrived there on his intended route to France; but that, at the request of his Pruffian majefly, their magiftrate had arrested him; and that he would not be permitted to purfue his journey, till fuch time as he delivered into the hands of his Pruffian majesty's refident divers papers and manufcripts, which that monarch had once fo much confidence in this pedant as to trust him with. Hague, June 14. The negotiation for felling to the house of Orange the lands, houfes and palaces which the king of Pruffia poffeffes within the territories of the republick of the United Provinces, is in great forwardness, and will speedily be brought to a conclufion. By this agree ment the whole fucceffion of king William III. of England will center in the houfe of our present stadtholder; and it is faid the bargain is to be ftruck for 700,000 florins, payable at four terms. From all parts of Europe we hear of nothing but encampments of armies and preparations for war; but what furprizes us moft are the preparations in Spain; for his catholick majefty has given orders for a new augmentation in his troops, tho' they are at prefent on the fame footing as at the end of the laft war; and besides the camp of 30,000 men, which is to be formed in Catalonia, another of 15,000 is talked of, which the marquis de las Minas has orders to affemble in the neighbourhood of Barcelona. The fame fpirit feems likewife to have feized the Turks ; for befides a great army which they are affembling in Afia upon the frontiers of Perfia, they are forming another in Europe upon the frontiers of Ruffia, and the Tartars of the Crim are all in motion, as if they were just going to enter upon action, which has obliged the Ruffians to form an army of 40 or 50,000 men on that fide. 7.
