the great Men of Aatiquity. C/ar comes the neareft to hirt. What Cicero%ays of him, is moft applicable to this great Prince—This Cz/ar of ours is famething that has not appeared before, His Wit enables bim to treat. grave Subjelts chearfully, avithout letting bis Reafoning lofe its Force 5 and bis Juperior Judgment makes bitn caplble of treating fubjells of Wit, fo #sto make them inflruiive, at the fame time that they divert ad enterta’n. No Man ever knew how to appear with the Grandeur of a great Prince better than he; and yet can dine with the €omman Soldiers asa Companion. My Fellor Soldiers, in a Day ot Battle, (which was Ce/ar’s) is his common Phrafe to them. He is never very merry, nor ever wears a morofe Countenance. The Lineaments of his Face are placid and good-humeur’d ; but his Eye looks thro’ you. He lives on lefs Sleep than molt People can do ; and thinks as much in a Minute, 2s an ordinary Genius does in an Hour. And to conclude, his Mind feems to be a Spark of czzlellial Fire, which is not wearied in its Operations by the Body that it animates ; and fo is a kind of Angel : And what exalts him ftill more is, he feems infenfible of the Deauties of his own Mind, which all the World admires, and feems to depend on Heaven alone.” Paris, Sept. 13, The plan of the operations of Prince Soubife’s army is changed, and a refolution taken to march directly to Hanover. Otders are given to raife 80,000 militia for next fpring, in cale the war fhould continue. W ARsA W, (Capital of Poland)Sept.3. The Swedes in their tarn, have had a fmart affair with the Pral- {igns between Branewaller and ‘Taberkoi. This is the account we have of it. - A large body of Pruffians having furprized the Swedes, they killed about 500 befere the latter could put themfelves in a flate of Defence. But being foon formed in crder, they fell upon thePruflians with their Bayonets fixed, killed about 1000, and took five or fix cannon. As this army has received its artillery, “tis tho’t it will immediately undertake the fiege of Stettin. Vienna, Sept. 4. We have received the melan- ckoly news, that the Town of Troppau, in which there was a large magazine of provifions and warlike ftores, has been redueed to athes. ' *Tis fuppofed to have been fet on fire by Pruffian fpies. The lofs we have fuftained there, is eftimated at a million of Florins. # Graseow, Sept. 25, We hear that 17 tranfports are ardered from Portfmouth and Plymouth toClyde; to carry over the new rais’d Highland Companies to America. DrEsDEN, (in Saxony) Sept. 12. The news of the taking Pirna and Sonnonflein is matter of great aftenithment, and efpecially the latter, which had a ~garrifon of 1500 men, well provided with ammuni. tion and provifions, and could confequently have held out longer ; therefore 'tis fufpeéted, that either the troops in garrifon there revolted againft the go- vernor, and obliged him to capitulate, or that the governor was remifs in his duty. This inconveniency, which Prisce Henry did not expett, has not how- ever, obliged him to change his fituation, for his head quarters are fill ac Gahniig, and thofe of the Prince de Deux Ponts, continue at Struppen. As for Marfhal Daun’s drmy it is ftill encamped at Stol- pen, three miles from hence, and we cannot at pre- {ent penetrate his real defign, This morning the Auftrians took Wirtemberg.and flopped there the ftage coach that was going from Berlin to Leipfick.
