v Y g ing : However, Be tock Poffeflion ef Bautzen the _+ goth of September, where he found a Hoard of Provifions, and a Part of the Enemy’s Bzkehoule, 2and made 150 Prifoners, ‘commanding a Regiment of Pruffian Huflars, on the __ other Side of the Eibe, has feized a Magazine of the Lieut, Colonel Kleilt, Eaemy's at Attenburg, of the value of 8ooo Crowns Fafter diflodging the Auftrian Detachment there, of whom he toek 7 Men and 10 Horfes. The Au- ftrians defert ftill very falt ; and our King hath fent “ to Drefden upwards of 1000 Prifoners.— Licut. Ge- neral Dohna continues in Purfuit of the Rufiians, on the 2d Inftant he marched with his Army from Sol- din to Lippehne, and on the 3d to Piritz in Pome- rania, where the Ruflians made as if they would de- foend themfelves, bur feeisg our Troops come up, they retired precipitately ; we took however one Lieutenant, 49 Huflars and 1 Standard.—The Town of Piritz, which had been condemned to pay a Ran- fom of ten thoufand Crowns, was happily delivered by the {peedy Arrivalof our Forces. The pretend- ed Deliverers of Saxony ruin the Country paft Reco- very, by exorbitant Exations of Provifions and Forage, extort large Sums of Money, putting the Inhabitants ander military Execation before the Ex- piration of the Time allowed for Payment ; they pillage even Villages ; and wherever they have power to carry off all Cattle, leaft they fhould fall into the Hands of the Pruffians.” o -0 N « T is natural to pafs from Dejetion to Exultation. I He that thought his Danger more than it was, will fet moreValue than he ought oneveryGlimfe ef Deliverance. When we loft Minorca,a general Panick fell upon the Nation, and every Man met his , Neighbour with a clouded Forehead, and a down- caft Eye, as if London had been befieged. Louis- bourg is now taken, and our Streets echo with Tri- umph, and blaze with Illumination, as if our King was oncs more proclaimed at Paris. Surprizes both of Griefand Joy are natural, but let us recover from them as foon as we c4n, and cftimate every Event according to its Importance, and every Acquifition according to its Value. The Siege of Louifbourg has been fo bappily condufled, that, perhaps there are few Examples in Hiftory, of a Place fo ftrong, eonquered in {o fhort a Time, with {o little Lofs. Whether this Facility of Saccefs be attributed to Esglith Skill, or to French Timidit;, it is equally pleafing. If our military Skill be great, we may hope to conquer Men, who, tho’ they have equal Bravery, have lefs Knowledge ; if our Enemies be timerous, they can never be formidable, whatever be their Skill. The French feem to have placed too much Cenfidence in their Ships, which made the "Harbour inacceflible by Sea, and which they did not = cobfider the Befiegers might deftroy by their Bat- teries.. Human Caution is never able to guard all Sides; and Danger. when it comes unexpe®ed, comes with double Force. When the French faw their Ships deftroyed by fhot from the Land, they loft their Courage, and forgot that their Walls were yet undemolithed. Thus Louifbourg was taken, and the Reputation of our Arms reftored ; whichis indeed an Effe&, if not the greatelt, of this boafted Conqaeft. Louifbourg is not ufeful to us, in the fame Degree as its Lofs is detrimental to our Ene- mies. They value it as a Port of Security for their Ships, as the Place where their American Forces « may fafely affemble, fheltered alike from Holflilities and"Tempélts. We can defire it only that we may deprive them of an advantageous ftation, for we do rot want Ports in that Part of the World ; fo that much is taken from our Enemies, but little gained to ourfelves. But this is the Coadition of War ; to malke one part weaker, is to ftrengthen the other ; and this Advantage we have obtained not only by the Capture of the Fortrefs, but by the Deftrultion of eleven Shipe, by which the French Navy, which was weak at the Beginning of the War, is reduced to a ftate in which it can no longer hope to oppole us. PHILADELPHTIA, December 21. On Monday the 18th Inftant Captain Bull (one of the Meflengers of Peace fent by this Government to Kafkufky, a great [ndianTown, on Beaver Creek) came to this City,and informed, that they were moft kindly received by the Indians there ; and that he had brought a very agreeable Mcflage from them to General Forbes.

The Indians defigned to have burnt one of the Prifoners, a Serjeant, for one of their People they faid they e PYORT SMQUTHT?;ipted by - had loft at Loyalhanning ; but Captain Ball hearing of it, fpoke to fome Delawares, who interceded for the Man, and got him faved.
