Extra& of a Letter from Hanover, dated Nov. 12. “ Our good Friends the French bawve treated us in fuch a Manner, that there are few Inflances of the like in Hiftory, 1key have taken ewery Method to break the Convention, of awhich the following will ferwve to convince you, When the Troops wiere quartered in the 1 owns, each Houje bring obliged to furnifb a Number of Beds for the Officers and Men, Monfiears being ill provided avith Shirts, they took the Sheets from the Beds ta make up that Deficiency, the Officers themlelves fetting the Example ; and when Complaints wwas made to the fuperior Officers, the only Satisfaion received, was a Number of Shirts, Night-Caps, Cra- wati, and Stockings, being ordered to be raifed by Way quantributiofl. — Another dgrecment was, that no Troops lbould enter the Hartz Forveft awhere the Silver [ines are ;s @ Body of French Iroops breaking thra’ this, enteved the Forvefl, infulted the Inbabitants,and by this Means raifed the Refentment of the People, who fell upon ioe Troops, and drove them from thence. The French commanding Officer interpreting this in- to an lijurrettion, laid the poor Miners and ather Perfons vefident in the Forrefl, under military Execution. Hoawewer, ave bope this {yranny’is at an End, ddvice being juft received of the King of Pruffia hawing gained a Compleat Vidory over the combined Army of the French and Imperialifis. At the Jame Time, that Part of the Convention in Rela- tion to the quartering of the Hanoverian Troops having been broke by the French, thofe Troops have marched towards Harburg, and are forming into an Army as foon as polfible, to oppole the increafing Encroachments of the Evemy. If the King of Pruffia marches a Body of Troops to- awards Hanover and HefJe Caffel, avith the Affiflance of the Lraops of theje Countries, it is not doubted but the French aill be drove out, elpecially as fo great @ Number of Sick are among thofe Trocps 5 and thein the Erenck may end the Campaign on the other Side the Wefer, avith only this Difference, that during the Campaign they have buried in Ger- many, na lels than 60,000 Men. Two French Men of War are arrived at Breft, in a {hattered Condition. We hear the King of Prufia reconnoitred the French Army in Perfon before the Engagement ; and though the Enemy appeared to be at lcalt three to one, yet finding his Troops to be in high Spi- rits, he determined to attack the Lnemy, and by makinga Circle round a Redoubt, he carried it with a fmall Oppofition : On thisthe Pruffian Gens d’Arms were ordered to attack, which put the Enemy in fome Confufion, and fome Battalions of Grenadiers attacking the French Batteries, without firing a Gun, only by Puth of Bayonet, drove them from Battery to Battery, till retiring in Confufion to the Army, they put the whole in Diforder, which occafioned a great Rout. It is aflerted, that fome Part.of the French Army, in the late A&ion, which confilted of 12 Regiments of Infantry, and Dragoons, only 1500 got off, the Reft being either killed, wounded, or taken Prifovers ; this was that Body which fell to the Share of the Pruflian lofantry, which his Majefly had drawn up as mentioned in the for- mer Accounts, and by makinga Feint of Retreating, drew the French into a Snare. N EW.-YORIK, Feb. 6.

Tbey Jfailed from Lendon the 1 2th of Decem- ber, and from the Downs the 18th ; from a few of the public Prints to the 121h of Decembir, we bave the Jalowing Advices. : § 9.4 D B Duosbr 2. s HE Prince of Brunfwick has eftablithed his head-quarters at - Boutehude, and his army extends to the neighbourhood of Winfen. There are fkirmithes every day betwes parties of his troops and detachments from Marfhal Richlien’s army. As the artillery at firft employed in battering the caftle ‘of Har- bourg had not much effe&, atrain of {everal pieces of heavy cannon’ went from hence this morping ; and 'tis not doubted but as {oon as ¢ they began to play, the commandant will furrender. P This Moment we receive the News, that the faid garrifon made a vigorous fally the day before yefterday, but were repulfed with lofs. Paris, Now, 28. The Court has receivedAdvice from Breft, that the Squadron of M. du Bois de la Mothe was arrived there from - Louifbourg, without baving met with any Englifh Squadron in his Paffage. He has broaght 300 Men of the Tilbury's Equipage,who faved themfelves by getting to L’Ifle Royale ; he has likewife bro’t with him 400 other Prifoners. From the Bruffels Gazette Extracrdinary, Dec. 4. Early this morn- ing arrived here a Courier from Vieana, who brought the agreable News, that on the z2d of lat Month the Imperal Army, under the Command of his Royal Highnefs the Duke of Lorrain, attacked the Pruffian Army, commanded by the Prince of Bevern, near Breflau, . and had gaincd a complete Victory. About Ten o’Clock the Sieur Gamond,difpatched from the Field of Battle by his Royal Highnefs, preceded by feveral Poltillions, likewife arrived here with the Con- firmation of this important News. He afterwards fet out for Mons, to acquaint Madam Royale therewith namely, that on the 22d the Auftrian Army commanded by his Royal Highnefs the Duke of Lor- rain had attacked and forced in different Parts the Pruffian Entrench- ments near Breflau, that the Prince of Bevern was taken Prifoner, and that Breflau furrendered the 25th. According to private Let- ters, above 12000 Pruffians have been killed and taken Prifoners, and the Prince of Bevern was carried into Moravia. It’s reafonable " to exped, that fo compleat a Vicory will have flill more happy Confequences, as our Troops have a Prince and Generals of the greateft military Skill and Experience at their Head. Hacug, Dec. 4. A Courier arrived at Mr. Hellen’s, Miniter from the King of Pruffia, has brought Advice that on the 22d of laft Month the Prince of Bevern had gained a Victory over the Auftrian Army in Silefia, and had purfued them as far as Neumark. O the other Hand, there is Advice of the fome AQion, whereia the Auf- trians attribute to themfelves the Advantage. Hacuk, Dec. 4 ltis very certain, that on the 22d of laft Month, there was a fmart Engagement near Breflau, between the Auftrian Army commanded by Duke Charles of Lorrain and Marfhal Daun, and that of the Pruffians under the Orders of the Prince of Bevern. Some Advices from very authentick Hands affure, that the latter, notwithftanding the Superiority of its Oppofers, had not only gained a complete Viclory, but that it had purfued them four Leagues from the Field of Battle. Neverthelefs Letters receiv’d this Day by the Poft from Germany tell a different Story, viz. the Auftrians, after an obftinate Refiftance,at length penetrated the Pruffian Entrenchments, and took 11 their Baggage and Equipage ; fo that we muft fufpend our Belief till we receive further Intelligence of this important Affair, B O S T O N, February 20 The following glorious Piece of News juft come to Hand. By a Veflel arrived at Marblehead Yelterday, ina very fhort Paf- fage from Lifbon, we have by Letters from thence, dated the 2s5th of January laft, a Confirmation of the Defeat of the Auftrian Army by the King of Pruffia, on the 5th of November lait ; and that the Advantages he gain’d by that Battle, are infinitely gredter than was at firlk apprehended ; and further, that on the sth o December (jult a Month after the other Battle) the King of Pruflia, with an Army of 38,000 Menin Silefia, entirely vanquifhed and routgd the A_“' fijls ftrian Army there, which were 70,000 ftrong ; in which Aétion : * valt Numbers of the Auftrians were flain, and the Prifoners taken on dithg fi the Day of Battle and fince, exceed 20,000 Men : That Prince Charles and Count Daun, who commanded the Auftrians, had retired . into Breflau, with only 10,000 of their remaining Troops, which . Place the King of Pruffia immediately blockaded, and in a few Pays they, with 14,000 Auftrian Troops, {urrendered Prifoners.—The Hanoverians had taken up Arms againlt the French ; and Mar(hal Richlieu being in great Confufion, was, with his broken Army, re- tiring before them, out of Germany, with great Hafte. j The Packet from England that brought this News arrived at Lif- bon the 24th of January.
