Sept. 1. By some Advices from Spain we hear, that the Court being intent on encouraging the Manufactory of printed Linens lately set up in that Kingdom, has forbid the Importation of all foreign Manufactures of this Kind in the Port of Alicant. They likewise tell us, that the said Court, as a Proof of it's Desire to keep up a good Understanding with Great-Britain, has sent Orders to his Catholic Majesty's Governors in America to pay in Money the Value of the Captures that shall be proved to have been illegally made. We also hear, that the Spanish Ministry have lately sent over a Memorial to the Regency here, relative to divers Privileges which they pretend his Catholic Majesty's Subjects are intitled to in the Ports of England: and that the said Memorial has been since sent to Hanover, for farther Consultation.
