Ext raft of a letter from the Hague , Oft. 14.
“ The news of the King of Poland’s death has set to work
the wits of all our great and little politicians: they have al
ready eleded a fucceflbr to the Polish crown ; but wc cannot
Cay their election is unanimous. Some fay that the Dauphi
nefj will stickle hard to get her brother chosen, and of course
France and Austria will combine in the affair: and others
are of opinion that Prufiia and RuiSa will strongly oppose
the eledion of any Prince of the el.doral house of Saxony.
As to England, we know the court is quite sick of conti
nental conuedions, for want of knowing how to make a
right use ot them. The English are ambitious of the honour
ofbeating Franc tfingly, but never yet had an opportunity of
doing it; and always, after making a bad peace, they throw
ail the blame upon their allies, but never look at home and
enquire who received the louis d’ors; or if they enquire, it
is to no purpose, because the sum received is fufficient to
qualh all enquiries and impeachments.
“ P. S. Some people wh fber that the young Bidder ‘van
Jorts Hands no bad chance of being eleded King of Poland,
m case the Princess Radzivil is in the fame humour as she
was a few years ago, to offer him her hand for life.”
The Hereditary Prince, now Elcdor of Saxony, is a crip
ple, and cannot walk without two persons, one on each fide
to support hifti, therefore he has no chance to be King of Po
land. The nobility, there chufe very perfonabie men for their
King, being so themfelvcs. /
In the year 1733, Augustus 111. the late King of Poland,
was advanced to that throne by thecombined forces of Aullria
and R nffia though France had got King Stanislaus proclaim
ed by a vart majority; but soon after he was forced to retire
P° a,ltzl g. vzi beiieged in that city by the Saxons and
J. utiians, anal efcaptng fr m thence to Kpnigftwrg, he made
lis way to France, whereupon his party submitted and
Iwore allegiance to King Augustus. The latter married two
his daughters in the Bourbon family, one to the King of
t.e Iwo Sicilies now King of Spain, who is since dead, and
ue other to the Dauphin of France.
