A great corps of troops is marching inte Silefia, and another into the principality of Magdebourg. It s ob- ferved that our old friends are better received in Saxony than ever, 1 which is owing to the ftrange behaviour of the French troops, whe “4n the (hort fpace of a week have entirely changed our opinions as to the Proffians, who are confidered at prefent as the real proteQlors of this electorate. ‘ L.

The Downfall and Ruin of Nations has generally been precceded by Defeats of Armies, Captures of Towns, Devaftation of Territories, and the other terrible Attendants of the Saword, Peflilence and Famine ; but Britain will have the fingular Fate of perifbing awith her Fleets and Armies entirve, becaufe thofe entrufied with their DireGion, ( notwith- flanding the rave Abilities of their Heads and Hearts) are Jo PRODI- GrousLy ouT o Luck, This uniucky Recommendation and Choice of Commanders bas long rendered us the Contempt and Ridicule of the awhole Globs, made all our Efforts ineffeliual, bas faitewed the Earth, and made the Streams and Ocean blufh with the Blood of our brawe, but unfortunate Countrymen, who fell to a Rabble at FALKIRK, to Savages on the Ou10, OswEco, and Fort WiLriam HENRY, and to the lowefs Dregs and Scum of Italy, before MINORCA.

There are now between 20 and 30 Sail of Men of War at Spithead ; yet they continue ta prels, and the Workmen in the Yards are ordeved to vork double Tides at this Seafan, which is reckoned very remarkable.

Extraét from a Letter Jent by an Officer in the Pruffian Service, to bis Friend in London, dated Nowember 6. <« By the Time this arrives, 1 doubt not but you will have heard of the Victory gained Yefterday by his Majefty over the French, &c. 1 believe Hiftory, ancient and Modern, does not record a more heroic Adion, acquired with fuch Inequality of Troops '*——The Battles of Alexander in Peifia (the Source of that Hero’s Fame !) were none of them comparable tothis, when we confider he had to cope only with a Set of raw, ignorant Barbarians, whofe great Num- bers, for want of Difcipline, ferved only to create their P';um, by putting them in Confufion § whereas his Majefty's Enemies were veteran experienced Troops, and confequently their foperior Num- bers (near three to on¢) muft render the Oppofition fharper, and our Conqueft by far the more glorious. There is one Circumftance that carries the Appearance of our having to combat with a parcel of Petit Maitres, which is, our taking among' the Spoil above 12000 Muffs, procured I fuppofe to keep the Gentlemen from foffering by the inclement Winter Air, of our German Climate ; but we gave them' warm work on it, and I affure you they acquitted themfelves in fuch a Manner, as belied their Appearance ; for feveral French Officers moft heroically refufed Quarters and killed feveral of their own Men, in couragioufly driving them back, when retreating. My dear Friend, what cannot a handfull of brave Soldiers perform, when ander the eye of fo good and great a King.” Nov.
