It is faid that the King {lipped away from his principal camp near Land(hut the 11th, and that his Majefty was on the r3th at Great Glogau, the inhabitants of which ftood in need of his prefence to difpel their fears. The Ruffian corps deftined for the Marche of Brandenburgh was near Driefen the 14th. Count Dohwa, who was to have run head-long on that corps, has turned off to the right of Landsberg, and feems asif intended only to obferve their motions. Ge- neral de Ville has again advanced towards Neifs, and is now within four miles of that town. General Count Harfch has drawn nearer to Glatz. Marfhal Daun was yet at Shortz the 15th. But the departure of Ge- neral Count Lalcy, for Vienna, makes one fufpeét that bis Excellency fees the moment for ating is at hand, and that he only waits for an ulumate approbation, which the Count will bring back,to ftrike his fir{t blows.

The victors remain in Poffeffion of the Poft, and General Haddick is marching to 'em. : ~ Vienna, (the capital City of the Circle of Auftria,and of the German Empire) June 17. Count Lafcy is avrived here from the army of Count Daun ; as is alfoan officer from the Ru/- fian army. It is believed that the former comes to take the final inftrudlion of the court, with vefpect to the campaign ; and that the latter brings the account fo long expeCled, of the fituation that the Ruffians are in, and the meafures they are " about to take for [econding the Mar(bal's de- figns.---Some People ftill continue to talk of peace.

It was from Harfleur, Sfituated a league from Havre, that William Duke of Normandy took bis departure to conquer England. At prefent we de not think of conqueft, but of reducing to wmoderation, a nation which hath arrogantly fet up for a tyrant over other nations.

Bar- " ker, of 60, to burn two fhips that were atan- ehor there, and tho’ they did not fucceed in theattempt, yet they gained great honour in bravely and refolutely withitanding, for near three hours, the continualfire of many batteries ; fome of which they did, and o- thers they could not fee. They havea great many men killed and wounded, but ftill they are in great fpirits. In this undertaking they were obliged to atiempt the deftroying of two forts, but moft unluckily it falling calm, and the forts firing fo briskly, they were obliged toretire, and were, with fome diffi- culty, towed off.

The Countd’Herouville is gone to fee this Eflay, and to remark the Improve- ments whereof the thingis fufceptible. If we fucceed in this Expedition, Pride muft foon giveWay to Moderation, and the Hand of Peace will re-eftablifh the Right of Na- tions upon a folid Foundation.”----- So fays Monfieur Maubert.
