-~ Ve bave the following Advices by Capt. Ayers, who arrived at Botton laf Saturday, in 8 Weeks from London 5 vz, B-E R'L I.N, Aprii 20. T is whifpered here that the King has in- h/ trenched his camps in Silefia, becaufe, de- k’ figning to goin Perfon againft the Ruffian army which threatens Pomerania, he would have his gznerals keep on the defenfive dur- ing his abfence. Many believe his Majefty bas already left his army in Silefia. Drsfden, April 23. Prince Henry has re- tired from Bohemiain hafte, but not without coming to blows. A great number of Wag- gons are ordered to Pyrna, to bring off the wounded. No 'magazines have fallen into 5 the hands of that Prince; but his appearance obliged the Auftrians to confume by fire what provifions they had not time to remove 1 from Saatz. Francfors, April 26. Prince Ferdinand has abandoned Fulde,. which his troops have pil- Jaged in a deploranle manner. The main body of his army is now at Ziegers1eim,about fix miles beyond Fulde ;5 and his rear-guar at Alsfeld. Marfhal de Contades and the Marquis de Monteynard arrived here yefter- ' day. ; Berlin, April 14. The Fortof Penamunde in Pomerania, furrendered between the-10oth and 1 1thof this month toGeneral Maateuffel, who,commanded the army in the abfence of ' Count Dohna} and there were taken Prifoners of war, 190 foldiers, 11 officers of different ranks, 14 ferjeants and corporals, 5 cannon of 18 pounds, 4 of 24, 110t 6, 40f 3,2 Mortars of 40, and 2 of 16. Vienna, April 8. The number of wag- gons loaded with bombs, balls, and other implements for fieges, which daily fet out for , our army, is {carce credible. Two fieges are 2 refolved on; in which not fewer than 550 pieces of cannon and mertars will be employ- ed. Thefe ftores and the artillery that ac- ’ company them are depoflited at Prague and l Olmurz ; from whence 1t is eafy to judge that one part thereof is defigned for Silefia, and another fur Saxony. ’ From the JONDON GAZETTE. a Admiralty Office, May 1. .

April 30. Weare intormed thatthe nember of the allied troops who marched to the awtack of the French at Bergen did not exceed 16000 ; and the French, by their own accounts, had 25000 mea. The allies had about 1300 killed and wounded. They write from Hanover, that on the 13th inftant 1184 Cologn troops. 20z Wuartzburghers, 102 Au- ftrian cavalry, and the fame number of hoflars, with go officers, madr prifoners'of war in the fate expedition of the Hereditary Prince of Bruafwick (previous to the battle of Bergen) were brought to Hamelen.

May2. The Paris account of the Bat- tle of the 13th, between Prince Ferdinand of ‘Branfwick, and the French, under the com- mand of the Duke de Broglio, makes the Lofs of the Allies tobe 4000, and that of the French 2000 men. And the Berlin ac- counts fays that the French had 2225 Men kill’d, and 4000 wounded ; and the Allies loft only 1300, killed and wounded. May 3. By aletter from the Allied army we are informed, that the Englifh forces are all compleat and new cloathed, made a fine appearance and waited with impatience to diftinguith themfelves againft the French and that by the difpofitions making by Prince Ferdinand, it was judged a fe- cond engagement would foon enfue.—Some merchants have received letters from Saxony which give an account, that his Royal High- nefs Prince Heénry of Pruffia’s army had gained further advantages over the Auftrians fince their expedition of the 15th ult. in Bo+ hemta. 5 : May 4. TheDukede Charters, the French Faft Indiaman fately taken by the Windfor man of war, we hear, has got feveral chefts of treafure on board, intended for the pay- ment of the troopsin India ; but will now probably be diftributed amongt feveral of our honeft tars. May 5. Ttis now faid, that the value of the Dutch fhips taken is to be fully afcertain- ed, and the captors to receive each their pro- portinate thares, and that then the fhips are to be releefed, and rerurn home. May 7. 1f we may give credit to 3 pri- vate letter from Brufiels, a certain Prince of the Empire, who has expofed his domini- ons, his fubjeéts, and his perfon, in the fer- vice of the houfe of Auftria during the pre- fent war, is fo much out of humour at the u- fage he has met with, that he is difpofed to change his {yftem and has embraced or will fpeedily embrace a neutrahty. May 8. We find by an authentic lift dated at Linay, April 19, 1759. thatin the twelve following magazines, (taken and deftroyed by the troops under the command of Prince Henry of Pruffia) viz. Auflig, Toplitz, Lowofchitz, Leutmeritz, Luckowitz, Libof- chowitz, Worw#:zau, Buden, Saatz, Poftel- berg, Commortac, and Brix, there were found 35,486 tons of meal, 73,400 loaves of bread of 41b. each, 136,820 Berlin meafure of wheat, and 86,300 rations of hay of 8lb. each. All thefe magazines, valued according to the current price at Drefden, would be worth fomething more than 433,600 rix dollars ; but if rated at the price which provifions and forrage bear in Bohemia, they will amouat to double that fum. In deftroying the nragazine at Budin, the wind drove the flames into the town, and entirely deftroyed it, to the great grief of Prince Henry, who endeavoured all in his power to extinguifhir, May g. A letter from Paris of the 20th | {ays, that it was affured the King had reccived advice of a fecond victory over the Englifa in India, We hear that 200,000 1. will be granted for the purpofes mentioned in the following meflage fent'on Thurfday by his Majelty to Parliament. ; ‘G EORLGE K * His Majefty,being fenfible of the zeal and vigour with which his faithful fubjeéts i .
