I fhall take Care to fend you {oon a particular Account of this Affair, by the Circamitances of which, you will fee that it was neither general nor dicifive, and that very probable we fhall come to a fecond Engage- taent, if the Enemy perfift in their Defign to remain ‘n Saxony.—T'ime will not permit me to fay more t0 you to Day ; I have fent you thefe few Particu- Jars only, that you might be able to hinder the Pub- lick from fuffering themfelves to be deceived by giving to much Credit to the falle and exaggerated Relations, which it is propable the Court of Vienna will, according to Cuftom, publifh on this Occafion.” PETERSEURG, ( the capital City of Ruffia) O4&. g.

In theMorn- ing of the 18ta Inft. an Exprefs from the King of Prufiia pafled through this City,with Orders toPrince Henry, to detach from his Army a Jarge Body of Hotfe and Foot, tojoin that of the Kiag. Accord- ingly bis Royal Highnefs fet out the fame Day from- his Camp at Maxen, at the Head of eight Battalions and twelve Squadrons of Hullars, with whom he ar- rived here at Four in the Afternoon. ThefeTroops, who carry with them a large T'rain of Artiliery, were billeted on the Towr{men, a1d {et out next Morning to join the King in Upper Lufatia. In order to fill up, in fome Meafure, the void made in Prince Hen- ry’s Army by fuch a large Detachment, two Regi- ments of our Garrifon are fent to it. On the other Hand we learn, that M. Daun hath caufed himfelf to be joined by fome Thoufand Auf- trians, who were in the Army of the Empire, that the General was encamped rear Lobau, and that his Pruffian Majefly was encampeé in theNeighbour- hood of Klen Bautzen. P.S. We juft now hear that the Corps detached from Prince Henry’s Army, having jcined that of the King of Proflia Yefterday Morning, his Majelty immediately made Difpofitions for attacking M. Davn in his Turn ; fo that we hourly expeét the News of a more decifive A&ion than the Firft, Berrin, Odcber 24 By AurnoriTy. ““ The King is ftill e ped at Doberfchutz, op- pofite to the Enemy : H ajefly is very far from retiring and abandoning the 'l'own of Bautzen, as fome Gazettes aflert.

General Palmbach hav- ing befieged that Place without Efc& from the 3d to the gth, withdrew this Day to the Diftance of fome Miles, and made a Feint of raifing the Siege, in hopes to make the Garrifon fally ou:, and cat off their Retreat to the Town. Bat this Stratagem not fucceeding, he returned on the 10th with a large Re- inforcement which Genceral Jacoblef had bro’t him, and again fummoned the Governor, Major Heyden, to furrender ; which he refufed to do. ~Onthe 12th the Ruffians began again to bombard the Place. On the 13th they made an Affault, but were beat off with the Lofs of 200 Men, among whom was Maj. Lauterbach, and two other Officers, On the 17:h the Befiegers made a freh Affault, and advarnced with a greater Confidence, that the Town fired with Powder only ; but when they were come pretty near, the Governor received them with fuch a fmart Fire, that con were Liiled on the Spot, and ihe At- tack was happily repulfed. The Fortrefs ftill held out on the 20th ; the Works had fuffered no Da- mage ; and the Governor had taken fuch Precau- tions, that no Part of the Town hath been fet on Fire : Nor had the Garrifon loft any Men.” H amsurcH, Of. 27.

They write from Breft, that Nine Men of War.and Three Frigates, Sailed from thence the 15th Inft. for North Ameri- ca, with a great Number of Troops, and a Jarge Quantity of Ammunition ; which we hope will ena- ble Mr. de Vaudreuill, and M. Montcalm to ftop the Progrefs of the Englith, who, by the taking of Louifbourg, grew formidable in thofe Parts. The King returned the Day before Yefterday to Choifi, where a grand Council was held, concerning the Circumflances which appear favourable for a Peace ; and Wagcrs have been laid here, that one will be concluded before February next. FrawcrorT, OZ. 30, According to Letters from Berlin of the 21ft, the Town of Colberg flill held ont firmly, and Major-Heyden, who commanded there, made a glorious Defence. The Count de Dohna was advanced, on the 2zoth, with his Army as far as Stargard ; and if we may believe a Letter from that Quarter, there has been a bloody Aftion, which turned out to the Advantage of the Ruffians. Berriv, OZ. 31. By AuTHORITY. ¢ The King’s Army encamped from the 14th to the 24th at Doberfitz.
