Several eminent Citizens have contributed very largely; M. _Constans_ and _Remusat_, have by their Credit and Money procured twenty thousand Measures (called _Charges_) of Bread-Corn; M. _Martins_, _Grimaud_, and _Beoland_, have voluntarily taken inconceivable Pains so keep the Shambles supplied, and with very great Success; several others have contributed Money for buying up Corn in the _Levant_; even some of the Magistrates of the Soveraign Courts of the Province, as soon as the Plague had broke out, moved by their Generosity of Heart, and Grandeur of Soul, offered and even sent in all the Corn that was reaped on their own Lands; such are M. _de Lubieres_ and _de Ricardi_, Counsellors of the Parliament, and M. _de Rauville_ President of the Court of Accompts, Aids and Finances: We could not perish with so great and various Supplies; but _Marseilles_ and its Territory are an Abyss; it cannot otherwise be filled, than by that prodigious Abundance, which Liberty, and the Concourse of the Commerce of Nations, bring into it. The 18th M. _Taxil_, Agent of the _India_ Company at _Marseilles_, remits to the Sheriffs one thousand six hundred Marks of _Bullion_, and twenty thousand and forty nine Marks in Pieces of Eight, which they cause to be conveyed to the Mint at _Montpellier_, there to be converted into new Specie. The 19th the Distemper which had extremely decreased, having increased again a little, and there being Ground to believe that the Communication in some Churches which were opened, had occasioned it, the Bishop is desired to be pleased to order them to be shut up again. The 20th, 21st, and 22d Vessels are fitted out to fetch Corn from the _Levant_, that we might not be wholly in want of it this Winter, and after the Plague and Scarcity fall into Famine. The 23d Advice comes that one of the Vessels in which his Holiness's Ministers had caused to be laden at _Civita-Vecchia_, the Bread-Corn designed for the Poor of _Marseilles_, is unhappily wrecked on the Island of _Porcherolles_, and that of one thousand Measures it carried, not three hundred could be saved. The 24th and 25th, the Contagion still continuing in the Territory, and the Persons who live there, or have retired thither, especially those who are struck with it, or suspect they are, using all manner of Artifice to steal into the City, where the Distemper has almost intirely ceased, M. _de Langeron_ establishes such proper and exact Precautions, that no Endeavours of that kind can succeed. The 26th he publishes an Ordinance, to serve for Rules at the Gates, prescribing the several Certificates which must be brought to obtain Permission to enter, and describing the Condition of Health and other Circumstances a Person must be in to be qualified for a Certificate from the Parish-Priests, Captains, and Commissaries.
