Tranflation of the Declaration, wkich bis Serene Highnefs Duke Lewis of Brunfwick, bas delivered to the Mini- Sers of the Belligerent Powers, refiding at the Hazue, in the Name of his Maj<fly, and of the King of Prijjia. HEIR Britannick and’ Pruffian Majeities, I moved with Compaffion at the Miichicfs which the War, that has been kindled for fome Years, has already occafioned, and muft neceflarily fiill produce ; fhould think them- felves wanting to the Daties of Humanity, and particu- larly to their tender Concern for the Prefervation of their refpective Kingdoms and Subjects,if they neglected the proper Means to put a Stop to the Progrefs of fo ‘fevere a Calamity, and to contribute to the Re eftablifh- ment of public Tranquility. In this View, and in order to manifeft the purity of their Intentions,in this Refpe(t, “their faid Majelties have determined to make the fol- lowing Declarations ; viz. That they are ready to fend Plenipotentiaries to the "Place, which fhall be thought moft proper, in order there to treat, conjointly, of a folid and general Pesce, ‘with thofe whom the Belligerant Parties fhall think fit to authorize, on their Part, for the attempting fo falutary an End.

We bearthat the Formidable FrenchMan of War, car- rying 80 Brafs Guns, of 48, 36, and 24 Pounders, is 1% Feet longer in the Keel, than any of the Ships in bis Ma- Jefly's Navy, and is every other Way in Proportien.

It is (zid, that nine Bankers at Paris have failed and flopt payment; and it is thought they will draw a great Number of Dutch and Englith Merchants after them, Nine Regiments are foon to be f{ent to Germany. By a Letter from one of Admiral Saunders’s Officers we learn, that when the Admiral had refolved te join: Sir Edward Hawke, he, after a Paufe, faid, ¢ lam determined to join Sir Edward, and go in Quelt of the French : The Serviceof my Country demands it of me. And .if it be not conformable to the Letter of my In- ftrutions, it is for his Majelty Service. The Rifk to me may be great, but the Forteiiure of my Life I look upon as light and inconfiderable when the Good of my Country is at Stake.” We hear that General WoLrre (as well as General AMHERST) was a Man of Kent, being born at Weitram, was baptifed there the 11th of January, 1727.

By a private Letter from an Officer in the Pruffian Camp in Saxony we are informed, that an Officer ia the Auftrian-Service, fome Time ago, came and volun- tarily enter’d into his Pruffian Msjefty’s Service, under Pretext of ill Trearment which he had received from Marfhal Daun, and has ever fince, by a private Cor- refpondence, inform’d him of all the Proceedings in the Pruffian Camp, which gave Marfhal Daun ali Oppor- tunicy of taking proper Meafures sccordingly, and was the principal Occafion of the laft unfortunate Aétion of the zoth.

They tell us from Paris,that notwithftanding Conflan’s Difafter, they continue the Preparations for an Invafion of Britain. A Letter from Leipzig by the laff Mail, dated the 30th paft, concludes with the following Pofifcript ¢ Notwithftanding the Check his Pruffian Mejefty has met with, there is great Reafon to believe he will be foon in Pofleffion of Drelden, as hé has deftroyed the greatelt Part of the Auftrian Magazine, therefore it is impoffisle for them to fubfift ; he has made two Auftrian Generals Prifoners.” A cartel for the exchange of 23,000 French prifoners, which has been for fome time fettling, will, ’tis ex- pected, be fully regulated very fpeedily.
