Fowle's New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

The most important consequences of this definitive treaty is, that it has induced the Dutch, in gratitude to their mediator, to conclude a treaty offensive and defensive with the French. This treaty, which has been on the tapis for a considerable time, and with the progress of which our Court was well acquainted, is hostile to this country. It completely changes the aspect of European politicks, and ought to awaken the suspicions of Britain. If they should meditate a scheme on our East-India possessions, their union would be highly dangerous to us, and might be the means of extinguishing our authority in Asia.
