Francis Bernard, Efq; Counfellor at Law, is ap- vointed Governor and Captain-General of New Jerfey. il 00N 8 0N December 10, An Exprefs is arrived from Col. York, which we are informed has brought the following account : ¢ The 22d of Jat Month theAuftrians attacked the King of Pruffia’s “ troops under the command of the Prince of Bevern near Breflau, ¢ and, after an altion of four hours, the Auftrians gave way ; and « were purfued that and the next Day four German (or 26 of our miles.’ ' The particulars of this battle, as far as we can yet learn, are, that the corps under General Nadafty, that was employed in the fiege of Schweidnitz, having joined Prince Charles of Lorrain in the neigh- bourhood of Breflau, his Royal Highnefs and Marfhal Daun refolved to attack the Prince of Bevern,who was ftrongly intrenched and ad- vantageouly pofted under the cannon of that city ; and accordingly the attack began the 22d of November at 7 in the morning, and lafled about four hours, when vitory declared in favour of the Pruffi. ans, who then fallied out from their intrenchments, and purfued the Aufltrians, who fled two or three difterent ways. Marfhal Daun’s army was computed to be about 60,000 ftrong after the junction of the troops under General Nadafty ; and the forces under the Prince of Bevern did not exceed 25,000 Men. We hear farther, that the King of Pruffia was, on the z4th ult. but five marches from Schweidnitz. The Auftrians are gone off in three columns, one of which muft inevitably fall into the hands of the King of Pruffia. Some accounts advife,that the King of Pruffia, in his way to Silefia, has met with a body of Auftrians undér General Marihall, defeated them, and made fome hundreds of them prifoners. y The Hanoverians are fuperior in number to Marfhal Richlieu, who is retiring from them in a panick. It is faid that the French Ealt India Company have entirely ftop- ped payment, Orders are given for raifing recruits with all expedition both for land and fea, and prefs-warrants are iffued out for that purpole. Yefterday the bill for preventing the exportation of corn, and to prevent the diftilling grain for twelve months, &c. was pafled in the Houfe of Peers by a commiffion.
