The New Hampshire Gazette And Historical Chronicle

Ratisbon, June 23. The Magistrates of Wetzlar have sent their Deputy here an ample Memorial relating to a military Execution made on that Town the latter end of last Month by the Troops of Hesse Darmstadt; with Orders to present it to the Minister of Mentz, to be carried to the Dictature, which cannot be done till the Election of an Archbishop of Mentz has put an end to the Disputes concerning the Directory of the Empire. In the mean time, a Letter from the Magistrates of Wetzlar to the College of City's, dated the 7th Instant, is handed about: it contains nothing more than what has already been inserted in the public Papers, except that after the Imperial Chamber had issued several Decrees against the Court of Darmstadt with regard to those Proceedings, the said Troops, after having reinforced that part of the Garrison which the Court of Darmstadt has a right to keep there, had quitted the City the 31st of last Month, carrying with them to Giessen all the Persons they had taken up; where they were not only detained, but in disdain of the Imperial Decrees, condemned to
work at the fortification. The magistrates add, they were busy in drawing up the verbal process relating to those outrages, and in specifying their grievances; after which they promise to give further informations to the College of City's.
