From Owen’s Weekly Chronicle, for Fuly, 1759. To the Goop PeorLE of ENcLAND. Friends and Countrymen, E are now threatned with an invafion from our inveterate and hereditary ene- mies the French, who will leave no means an- tried to annoy us in revenge for our invading their coails laft year ; the bark of ftate is in danger, all Flands to work ; your country, your honour, your own fafety calls ! roufe from your flace of indolence, meet this daring foe, and chaftife him for his infolence ; the talk is eafy, and wanis but refolutiou to compleat it. Whether you fhall lead them to grace your returning triumph through the ftreets of London, cr be yourfelves conduéted captives to the gates of Paris, is the queftion ? whether you prefer bondage to freedom, or liberty to chains ? fuch a thought will no doubt infpire you with 2 dou- ble ardour, and the fpirit of your fore-fathers will breathe afrefh in their defcendants: remem- ber that the love of iiberty animated them, and that their courage overthrew the invincible ar- mada of Spain, as the enemy proudly called it ? the molt powerful navy the world had ever feen, was deftroyed by a handful of Englifhmen. Let hiftory inform fucceeding ages, that the lillies of France faded on Englith ground : this is the lalt effort of a half conquered encmy, fugoelted by defpair, and urged by fear of your re vifiting their wide extended ftiore ; receive them calmly, and let their temerity meet the fate it deferves ; let your courage on this occa- fion be an example to your defcendants, and tran(mit the noble fpirit of liberty and indepen- dance to them, which you have inherited, from your fathers. A proper exertion of your abilities, on this occafian, will be an everlafting bar to attempts of this fort for the future: every thing that’s dear and valuable calls upon you to repel thefe boid invaders ; religion, wives, children, and liberty ; liberty’s {weet voice fure cannot be hedrd 10 vain : rouze, up, my countrymen ; your fathers have beat them often on their own ground, can you da lefs upon your own ? the confl ¢t will foon be over, and one month wiil probably determine, whether you fhall be a race of herces or a land of flaves. I am, my dear friends and countrymen, yours, &c. B E RLJIN, Fuly 28. A Hunter is jult arrived with advice, that a body of 25,000 Auftriars commanded by Ge- neral uich, attempted to cut off the commu- nication of cur army with Schweidnitz, in order to depiive us of the means of getting forage ; but that thofe (roops wete defeated near Fried- land. The brown Hafars tock upon this occa- fion 27 waggons in which were the officers wives ; 300 baggage waggons with all the bag age, and the military cheft which contained 40,000 Crowns. Auguft 4. According to the laft advices from Gen. Wedel's army, which are of the 3d inft. Maithal Daun had detached theGenerals Had- dick and Laudohn with a body of 30,000 men, coufiltiog chicfly of cavairy, to jointhe Ruflians, that were encamped between Frankfort and Crofien. Gen. Wedel found meansto prevent that jun&tion, by marching to Planen, oppofite Croilen. The King informed of this march, had in the mean time ordered a part of the troops, which were under the command of Prince Henry, to advance; and having appoint- ed his Royal Highnefs to the command of the army appofite (0 M. Daun, his Majefty had put himfelf at the head of the abovementioned re- ~ inforcement, and marched on the 1ft inft. from Chriftianttadc to Sommerfeldt, from whence the corps under Gen. Haddick had retired at his Majefty’s approach, with great precipitation. Our troops, however, came up that day with the rear guard of the Aultrians, which was at- tzcked by our huffars, who got from them a confiderable booty. 'The next day, our cavalry wa;: again engaged with that rear guard, and made 1200 Prifoners (among which were 26 officers) znd likewife took all the ovens of the encmy, and 300 waggons loaded with flour, to- gether with 5o more of powder, which was im- mediately deftroyed by fctting fire to it. On the 33, General Wedel’s zrmy was at Croffen ; and the Kiog arrived the fame day at Befkow. Several other {cirmithes happened that day ; at which time the number of prifoners, made upcn Generai Haddick’s corps, amounted to t6co. We have likewife jult now. received advice from Landfhut, that Gen. Fouquet had repulied Gen. de Ville, who attempted a frefh irruption into Silefia on that fide ; upon which occafion the latter had loft 700 men killed or taken.
