What is done there isevident -~ to all who have Eyes to fee ;and we cannot expelt et o - . L al to convince fuch as are blinded by their Paffions. We Bave neverthelefs thought propes €6 obferve, that thofe bitter Complaints which feem to proceed from a people funk into the deepeft Diftrefs, are only the Murmars of certain Perfons, who confider nothing but their own Self Intereft, and have no Knowledge of, r pay no Regard to the Good of their Country. The g}a&crs of one fingle Town are the odious Trum- { poters who publifh thefe falfe Reports, becaufe their Frofits {uffer at pre{ent fome Diminution. . They don’t trouble their Heads about the Oppreffion of others, v:hilft they are {upported by the Favour ofa parcial Minifter, and are not difturbed in the Poffeffi- on of that ' Monoply which they have fo long heid to the Prejudice of the other Towns of Saxcny, who wiil bear Witnefs ro the Truth of what is here advan- ced. We have had frequeut Occafion, during the Courfe of this War, to. be furprifed at their Impa- dence and Infolence : Itistime that Bounds were fet to them. : : ‘¢ The King of Pruffia is-not an Enemy. to Saxony, and hath no: aed towards it as an Enemy. 'The Country will foon be convinced-of.this : ~Every true Pacriotis fo already. The Inconveniences that are infeparabie from a lawful War will never.do itfo much Damage as the Rapine of a Minifter who hath fucked its beit Blood, and hath been the fole Caufe of its Sefferings. - But what are thefe Sufferings ¥ Where are thele Extorfions, the A&s of Violence, and the Outrages ? Let :he.frififtf_ul Defolations ' occafi- oned by almoff every VWar be called to Mind. When the French in the laft Century, ravaged the Palatinate with Fire-ard Sword, had they fuch Reafons asthe Pruffians might aliedge, if they had a Mind to follow their Example ? Have the Saxons met with fuch mild Treatment from their Friends, from their zealcus Defenders the Aufliians, every Time. they entred * their Country ? Put it in their Option, whether to re- ceive {uch Fricnds as they were, or continue to lodge fuch Evemies as the Pruflians ; they wiil not hefitace about the Determination. Bohemia it felf, if it dared to fpeak, wculd make the fame Choice. “ Let, then, the World be no longer impofed upon by artful Clamours, which, as we have already obferved, take the:r Rife from one Place alone, from one fingle Order of Perfons, who think all is loft, when their vile, fordid, private Intereft fuffers. There is no Country or Town in the World, which would not, if threataed with the terrible Calamities of War, wifh to fall into the Hands of fucha Prince as the King of Pruffia, or {uch an Army as the Pruifian Ar- my. After this, it will not feem furprizing that Per- fons, who have no Perception of thefe Truths, rejet the Writings, the Memorials, on which they are efta- blifhed ; or they fhould fay, that a new Law of Na- tions is going to be introduced ; and that they fhould make no Anfwer to Demonftrations,but by Invectives. Drefden, Dec. 9. A fmart fkirmifh has lately hap- "furmened upon the frontiers of Bohemia, between the p Oruffian and Aultrian troops, in which feveral were A e “killed and wounded on both fides, but the particulars are not yet known. Drefden, Dec. 10, Between 8 and goo Livery Ser- ' vants difcharged by Perfons who in the prefent Dif- trefs of their Country have laid down theirEquipages, have beéen forced by Hunger toenlift for Soldiersin the Pruffian Army. ‘ Paris Dec. 13.

On Wednefday Morning laft, between 4 and 5 o Clock, a dreadful Fire was difcovered in the Houle of Mr. Thomas Duncan, of this City, Merchant, which was attended with a Melancholy and moft fatal Cataftrophe, for befere the unkappy Family, lulled in - profound Sleep and Security; counld be alarmed, the Fire within the Houfe became un:verfal. Mr. Dun- can himfelf efcaped out of a Window, by the Affitt ance of a Ladder, as he fortunately lodged in the Front Part of the Houfe, and his eldeft Daughter, a young Lady of about Eighteen, being with her Mother, and four Children who were fick of the Small Pox, in the Nurfery, in the back Part of the Houfe, and not having that Converiency, had ro other Chance of avoiding the devouring Fire, than by throwing her {elf out of a Window three Stories high, and was moft miraculoufly received into the Arms of a Gentleman who had encouraged her to this dangerous, tho’ only Expedient, and who was thus the generous Inftru- ment of preferving her Life at the Rifque of his own. The Nurfe made the like Attempt, butdid . not {urvive threeMinutes after fhe reached the Ground.

The Houfe, with many valuable Effeéts, were entirely de- ftroyed ; but by the Induftry of the Inhabitants, who are defervedly celebrated for their Zeal and Dexterity, in extinguifhing Fires, aflitted by the Gentlemen of the Army, and the Soldiers now quatered here it was was prevented from extending farther.
