GOD Save the KING. Addrefs of the Houfe of Commons. 1 Return you myf hearty thanks for this and for your unanimous zeal for the defence of my crown, and for the fupport my conftant care for the lafting welfare of my people, J % By his Majefty’s Sloop Albany, Captain Jervis, arrived 2t New-York in 35 Days from Portfmouth, and Capt. Allen, who ‘arrived ‘at Boton lalt Week from Lon- -don, but laftfrom Falmouth in 48 Days, ‘we have the following (JAdvices, viz.- i HE King of Piuflia waits cnly the arrival of i fome troops from Silc fi+, and fome from Po- nerania, to &rike a ignal blow : The confequences of General Finck's sffair was the hindering bis retaking Drefden : Notwithftanding this lofs, (fo greatly exaggerated ) he will thew kimfelf as fermi- dable as he was after the famous battle of Chotzerniiz, Breflsw, and Cunnerfdorff. ‘His poficion is at Willf- “drufte nad Freyberg. The "Aulftrian Gen. Beck has taken poft at Groflenhagen, to intexcept the troops coming from Silefi. Col. Kleift has taken poft in the neighbourhood of Wirtemberg, with a detachment of 1600 horfe, in order to prevent the Auftrians making any incuwfions on the frontiers ¢f Branden- ‘bourg. Advice was daily expetted from Gzrmany of a battle being foulhg between the King of Pruflia and Count Daun. s The laft advices from Drelden bro’t that the city was [o ¢xhauited of provilions that‘Count Daun muft be obliged toleave i for want -of fubfiftence ; And as the King of Pruffia had cslled in all bis detachments, and the hereditary Prince of Brunfwick, who is at'Gera, will be able to join him with a confiderable body detached from the army of Prince Ferdinand, if there was a poffibility, he would bring him to an engagement ; which no doubst, if it happens,will be a bloody one. Before the hereditary Prince ¢f Brunfwick began his march he gave out, that he was going on a fecond expedition againft the Prince of Wiziemberg, by which means he got feveral days march before the enemy had sny knowledge of his defigns ; it was un-ertain whether he would keep the road from Gera to Altenbourg, in order to join the Pruffian troops st Friedbourg ; or whether he would march thro’ Voigiland into Bohemia, snd make & diverfion on that fide : He waits for the King’s diretion. Other advices fay, that the Prince deux Ponts, who commands the army of the Empire, was gone to Vienna to confult with the Miniftry sbout the operations of the enfuing campaign : Gen. Laudon was cxpeéted at Vienns, his corps having taken winter quarters in the upper Silefis andMoravia. The court of Vienna will, 1t is faid, readily agree to the holding a congrefs. i Notwithftanding all the reports of a Peace, fay they at Paris, we are very far from having any reel appearances of it. By the magazines that are forming, and other fteps taking, it appears that the Frenchare determined not to move before Prince Ferdinand. They have prefented a memorial to the States General of the United Provinces, to grant a pafflage for atrain of artillery from the heart of the kingdom to the king’s army on the Lower Rhine, to grant paflage for his astillery on the Mcufe, that it may meet with no obftruétion by the way. The Rates immediately granted the requeft. The Duke de Broglio, who commands the French troops, has been honored by the King with the Baron of Marfhal of France, on accouat of his talents and knowledge of Germany, he has detached toward the Lower Rhine, four brigades with 8 pieces of cannon, under M. de Vogue : He is to join the Marquis d"Argenlon, who commsnds 6ooo men, forming the vanguard of d' Armentiete’s army,who was to have paflzd the Rhine on the 18th of December, in order to march to Hackenbourg, from whence they will bear down upon the right of the army of Prince Ferdinand. The Duke of Wirtemberg is combined with this motion. A letter from Prince Ferdinand’s head quarters at Crofsdorff, dated the 25ch of Dec. fays, that ss the roads are too much broke up for drawing the heavy artillery to Grieflen without difficulty, preparations are making to take that place by a general aflault, in cafe the troops in that V%nrrifon do not immediately furrender themfelves prifoners of war upon the next fammons : After which Prince Ferdinand will order the troops under his command into winter quarters : Of 1500 Wirtemberg priloners, bro’t to Caflel, two thirds had inlifted into the fervice of the allies. The allies have diflodged the advanced guard of the Duke de Broglio’s army from Buzbach. The French, it feems, intend to exert their utmoft force and efforts the: enfuing campaign, to make themf(elves mafters of his Britannick Majefty's ele€toral dominions. Dec. 29.
