Frontier of He[fe, March 16. This country has undergone feveral changes within the fhort fpace of 8 Days paft. The Auftrians who came back in a ftrong body to Hirfchfeld, retired from hence again the 19th, after hav- ing demanded of that town and diftriét,a con- tribution of 100,000 crowns, for the fecurity of which fum they carried off hoftages. This precipitate retreat was chiefly occafioned by theapproach of a large body of troops belong- ed to the allied armny, which with prince Fer- dinand of Brunfwick at the head of ir, is -marching with great expedition againft the army of “the Empire ; while another corps of about eight thoufand men commanded by Prince Georoe of Holftein, is marching di- rectly to Marbourg. We have this mofment received advice that the French troops that were in garrifon at the laft mentioned place retired from thence two days ago, and that they are allo preparing to evacuate Geiffen. Paris,March 30. Several perfons have been lately fent to the Baftile for ridiculing para- graphs in our Gazette, tending to infinuate that our victortes, interviews, and expeditions areall no better than political fictions, thrown out to amufe the people. The embargo that was. laid on foreign thipping at Bourdeaux is taken off, fince the convoy failed, from thence with provifions and ammunition for Canada. . ON D O N, March 24. A particular method of recovering perfons that are drowned ; exemplified in the caufe of a young woman who had lain fome hours under water. This account is communicated to the Author of The Journal Hiftorique fur les matieres du tems, for December, 1758, by Dr. Du Mou- lin, an eminent Phyfician, who, accidentally, and lackily for the poor girl, bappmed to bear of her misfortune foon after fhe was taken out of the water. A fervmi maid, be [ays, of about 18 wears of age, bad fallen into ariver, down which fhe was carried, by tke force of the fream, up. wards'of 150 pages from the place fhe fell in at. But ber cloaths catching bold of fome piles, ariven down for the ufe of a meighbouring Tanner //,# there lopt 5 and, fome hours after, the Tanner’s people coming that way, (be was taken up. Being perfonally unknown to thofe who firft found ber, jbe was expofed (ome time before ber friends beard of the difaller that bad bappened. At length fbe was carried to the bouf: of ber Mifire[s 5 where fhe was Bript & laid down before the fire,without any bopes,bowever, of her recovery. In this fituation the Dollor found ber, without motion, fliff and cold, her eyes flut ber mouth open, ber countenance pale and bollsw, and ber whole body much fwelled and full of water. She bad no pulfe, and tke cafe being looked upon as defperate, the Doftor bad a mind to try an éxperiment, fuggefled to him by what be bad obferved of flies and other in- feéls, that being drowned and apparently dead, will yet recover by balf burying them inafbes or falt. He accordingly ordered a [ufficient quan- tity of dry pot afbes to befirewed upona bed to about three inches deep : Upon this layer of afbes the girl was placed, and another layer of afbes of about two inckes deep, was fprm/cled 0- ver ber. On ber héad was put a cap, con- taining a good quantity of albes alfo 5 and round her throat a facking filled with the fame. Tbe blankets were now laid on the bed, and thus the patient lay about balf an bour ; when ber pulfe began to beat, by degrees fbe recovered ber voice and foon cried out articulately, O I am frozen —1 am frozen. A cordial was adminifired, and fbe continued 40 lie eight bours in the afbes 5 during which time the water came away by the urinary paffa- 'ges, o an amazing quantity : After which fhe Jfound berfelf greatly relieved : and the’ for the three following days fbe was f1ill a little indifpo- Jed, the indifpofitionwas Nlight and went foon off. Inwant of a fufficient quantity of dry pot-afbes dry falt may ke ufed, and according to the Dr. with the fame fuccefs. April 10. The Honourable Mr. Pitt is extretnely ill of the Gout in St. James’s Square. April 17. There has been a third En- gagemient at Sea, in theFaft Indies, between the Englith and French Squadrons, in which the latter have loft their Cothmodore’s Ship, and two of their 50 Gun Ships are taken. They write from Hamburgh,that theRuffi- ans were fo much alarmed at the late irruption of the Pruffians into Poland, that tliey fet fire to their own magazines, particularly a very large 6ne near the river Neze, computed to be worrh 20,000 rubles ; and that the Gene- rals Fermor and Brown being abfent, thofe troops were in very great confufion ; infomuch that if the Pruffians continued to profecute their defign there is great reafon to apprehend that all the fchemes of the Ruffians will be fruftrated, more efpecially if the report be true, that all their naval magazines have been deftroyed by an accidental fire. Laft Sunday failed from Portfmouth Ad- miral Bofcawen, with the Fleet under his command ; as did alfo Admiral Cornifh, with the Eaft-India Ships under Convoy. NEW-YORK, June 18.
