Laudohn, in their March between Lignitz and Parchwi:z in Silefia : that the A&tion lafted above two Hours : that the Pariiculars oi it were not then exaétly known ; but that it was faid,that the Lo(s of the Auftrians in Killed end Wcanded smounted to 7coo Men ; that 4000 of them had been made Psifoners, and go Pieces of Cannon taken from them ; and that the Lofs of the Pruflians did not excesd 1000 Men. Thus Gazette. Extral? of a letter from Magdebourg, Ang. 17. ¢ We have this Moment rcceived the imporiant News by a Courier from Breflau, that the King of Pruffia haviog been informed that Gen. Laudohn was on his March towards Parkwitz with a large Train of heavy Artillery, wich which he had befieged Bresflau, his Majelly marchad from Lignitz laft Thurlday with a great Part of his Army, and falling in with General Laudobn the next Day, a moff bloody Batile enfued, which ended in the entire Rout of General Laudohn’s whole A my, he having loft, in kill’d, wounded and Prifoners, near ten thoufand Men, befides all his Artilery and Ammunition ; that General Laudobn retreated, with the {hatter’d Remains of his Forces, towards Que=- ben in the greatelt Hurry and Confufion ; and that the Governor of Breaflau was hourly in Expeation of receiving the Particulars of this great Event.” Extralt of a Letter from Warburg, Aug. 20. ¢ This Morning his Serene Highnefs Pr. Ferdinand received Advice from Magdebourg, that the King of Pruflia has eotirely defeated Gen. Laudohn in Silefia, an . Account of which was immediately difpatched to the Hague, and to London ; -but as yet we have no Particutars. The Armies have made no Motion for feveral Days paft, both remaining perieflly quiet in their refpe@ive Camps, with only the Dymel between them : “But there have been frequently Skirmifhes be- tween our flying Parties and thofe of the Enemy, in which General Luckner and Col. Donop have been very fuccefsful, having killed, and taken Prifoners, above 1000 of the Enemy within this Fortnight paft, with very little Lofs on our Side.” Extratt of a Letter from the Hague, Aug. 23. ¢ We have received authentic Advices from Mag- debourg, that the King of Pruflia has defeated General Laudohn near Lignitz in Silefia ; and that the heavy Artillery he took from the Auftrians, on_that Occafion, will be of the utmolt Service to him, as his Army was in fome Want thereof. The fame Advices fay, that a .. New-Hamptfhire b b Sl Byl U AL TR o Containing the Frefbeft Advices, large Body of Ruffians, wha were arrived upon the Borders of Silelia, in order to join Generdl Laudohn, retreated immediately on that General’s Defeat.” The Viclory gained over the Auftrians, commanded by Gen. Liudohn, muft give a great Turn to Affairs in Favour of the King of Pruffiz. There is now no deteched Corps of his Enemies left to a&, but Army is oppofed to Army ; the King of Prufiia againft Daun, Piince Henry againft the Rufiians, and ‘Prince Ferdi- nand sgainft. the French; and there is an Army of Pruffians near Drefden,. fuperior to the united Forces of the Army of the Emy.> and the Duke of Wirtem- berg's Troops, thould thoy joi= The Ruflians by their Retreat, have leffened his Difficuities : And whether it~ is 6wing to Jealoufies among the united Powers, or fram whatever Caule, it is a great Thing in his Favour. There is now, therefore, no Doubt to be made but that the King of Pruflia will, at the End of the Campaign, b: in as good a Condition as at the End of the laft ; and as his Enemies having flretched their Credit to the utmoft Pinch to carry on this Campaign, there is little Likelihood of their being able to keep their Armies to- gether anather, and it is thought muft be glad to come into reafonable Terms. Aug. 23, Letters from Drefden give an Account, that the King of Pruffia has ordered both the Officers and private Men of two Battalions of PruffianGrenadiers, who threw down their Arms and ran away at the Ap- proach of the Auftsians in & Saily from that City, during the late Siege, to have the Lace and Buttons taken off their Cloaths, and to wesr Badges of Infamy in their Stead ; and it is the general Opinion, they fay, that fome of the faid Officers,who are now clofely confined, will be fhot at the Head of their Regiments. The States of the Auftrian Netherlands, at their laft Mecting, refolved to grant the Emprefs Queen a new free Gilt of Four Millions of Florins for next Year, in cale the Wer fhould condinue. Several Letters from Pomerania advife,that the Swedes, have pafled the Peene,in order to begin their Operations againit the Prufliaos. ; Aug.26. We hear that 2500 Land Forces are aétually “embaiking at Portfmouth, deftined ior Carolina. The Bruffels Gazetteer,to induce England to abanden the King of Pruflia, propofes, that tne Empire fhould unite Esft Frifelant to the Elettorate of Hanover ; that Denmark fhould cede to it the Counties of Oldenbourg, and have in Exchinge the Dua'chy of Holitein, for which the Grand Dake of Ruffiv fhould be recom- penfed by giving bim the Kingdom of Pruflia. After meking this Propofsl, he takes Notice, that they were the good Allies and Neighbours of Charles X(I. of Sweden, who, in the Time of his Misfortunes, divided among them his Spoils, We hear from Woolwich, that a Machine is invented there, which throws heavy Bombs with furprifing Ex- altnels, and by which great Mortars are fired as quick as Cannon, in a Manner entirely new. _Count Kielmanfegge, a Lieutenant General in the Hanoverian Service, is broke, for quiting his Poft with- out Prince Ferdinand’s O ders. On the 7th Inft. the Hiwke Cutter, cdmmanded by Lieut. Pe:er Thomas Crooke, was overlet in the Bay, and all on board perithed. The Wind has blown ex- ceflive hard for two Days paft, but no other Damage has happened, than a poor Guernfey-man being drove into French Harbour. The French Camp under the Duke de Broglio, have no other Water but what they fetch from the River Dimel, the Communication with which might be very ealily cut off by the advanced Pofts of the Allied Army ; but Prince Ferdinand has moft gencroufly allowed them to come for Water, provided they come without their Arms and Accoutrements. There is Advice over Land from the Eaft Indies, that Provifians were (o fcarce with the French, that they were obliged to melt down their Plate, and even their Shoe and Knee Buckles, to obtain the Neceflaries of Life. Tuefday Morning embarked at Portfmouth, Colonel Vaughan's Regiment for New-York, and twelve Inde- pendent Companies for the fame Place 5 to proceed thither under Convoy of the Sterling Caftle, of 74 Guns.

Capt. Forbes, who brought the Exprefs of the King of Pruffiia’s Viftory alio adds, that Prince Henry of Pruflis had fallen upon the Van guard of the Ruflun Army, and defeated it. Healfo brings Advice that the Armies under Prince Ferdinand and Marfhal Broglio, were prepating for 2 general Engagement, an Account of which is idurly expeéled ; and there is certain Ad- vice that the French have been driven from Munden. A ftrong Report prevailed in Hoiland when the Pac- ket failed, that there had been an Engagement between Prince Ferdinand and Marthal Broglio, in which 40,000 Men were flain on both Sides ;' & thatPrince Ferdinand remained Mafter of the Ficld of Battle. We are forry to “acquaint the Public, That on Sa- turday Evening laft an Exprefs arrived at Kenfingron Winfor, with an Account, that his Royal Highnefs the Dake of Cumberland had been fuddenly feiz:d with the Dead Palfy ; upon which her Royal Highnefs the Piince(s Amelia, immediately fet off for Winfor, attend- ed by Dr. Willmot and proper Afliftants.

That a French Company’s Ship was errived at Manila from the Iflands, with an Account of their being in'a moft melancholy and diftrefled Situation, for want of proper Succours from Europe ; which they defpair'd of, as the French in Europe had been fo unfortunsate themfelves. And that by Letters from Madrafs, we are informed, that we have raken Vanderwalh, Arcot, and feveral other Piaces from the French, who are now cooped up in Pondicherry, the only Place that remains in their Hands. It is fuppofed that Genersl Crive, who lately arrived from the Eaft Indies, can realize one million two bundred thoufand Pounds in Cafh, Bills, and Jewels ; that his Lady bas a Cafket of Jewels eftimated to be worth at lealt zzv0 bundred thoufand Pounds.
