As to Pennlylvania, we have tvtry reaf n to believe it to be the garden fpot of Am.rica, andyet cven that flate has its oil advantages.

Truly laughable (fays a French print) is the condufl: of the Holy. Inquifitioni , in Spain, in its late edidl, which fome have called its laft dying fpecch. They forbid, in- der tke penalty of the higher excomtnujaicatioa and a fine of 20 ducats, and other difcietion- . , ary "punifhments, the diftiibuting, printing; or reading ot thirty-nine rrench works.
