SamueL PeEnnaLLow: | WiLriam KnIGHT, Portfmouth, December 3, 1760, &5 The Small-Pox is not in this Town, but feveral of our neighbouring Towns being mow wvifited with faid Difiemper, we thought ;'t,‘ neceflary to give the foregoing Precauntion. Tbe following Advices, chiefly publifbed by Au- thority, are from the London Magazine for September, 1760, From the Allied Army under Prince Ferdinand,and the French under Marfhal Broglio, we have the follewing Accounts, viz. Lthe’ the French had penetrated into the Elc&lo- - rate of Hanover, yet they have not been able to pufh far. Maithal Broglio’s army left their camp upon the Dyme!l in the night between the z1Rt end 22d of Auguft : The hereditary Prince croffed that river the 2zd .with 12,000 men, who came up with the enemy’s rear guerd near Zierenberg ; the hereditary Prince with the Ianifkilling dragoans and Scotch Greys, {upported by the Englifh grenadiers, in a quarter of an hour forced the parties the French left to cover ‘their retreat, to a precipitate flight, with great lofs ; and afterwards har- rafled their rear : M. Broglio encamped between Mo- riendorff and Hotfkunchen, with the Fulda in his rear, and cot.fiderably reinforeed Prince Xavier’s referve,who had retired from Gottingen to-Munden and Witzen- haufen. The 28ch of Auguft Prince Ferdinand was at Bubna.. On the gth of Sepiember 3 confiderable body of the enemy, about 20,000, attempted tom:ke a gene- ral forage in the neighbourhood of Giefmars but Prince Ferdinand having received previous intelligence of their defign, crofled the Dyme! that morning, and went in perfon with & corps of troops to oppole them ; and tho’ his fereme highnefs was much interior to the French, yet hie“ took his precantions fo well, that he rendcred the enemy’s attemnpt totally ineffetual. s Of furprizing and taking Zierenberg. N the s5th of S:ptember in the morning the he- reditary Prince went from his camp at Warbourg to Matzberg, and at 8 st night with 5 bettalions, and 150 highlanders under capt McLean, and 8 [quadrons of dragoons, pafled the Dymel, having left their tents ftanding: Prcper difpofitions were made to furprize the town of Zierenberg ; Maxwell’s grenadiers, the high- landers, and Kingfley’s regiment, tock different roads, .and met with none of their patroles’; when they came within half 2 mile of the town the vedettes of the grand guard challenged them, but did not puth forward to reconnoitre : —Our men marched inthe mo&t profound filence, but the noife of trampling on'the gardnes slarm- ed them, and they began to fire; upon which our grenadiers, who had marched with unloaded firelocks (as had been agreed on)ran on towarls the town,puthed the piquets, an? having killed the guard at the gate, rufhed into the town, and drove every thing before them : Nevér was a rhore compleat furprize — The attack was fo fudden that the enemy hal not time to get togethar in mumbers, but fired out of their windows. > e It was about two o’clock in the morning the attack be- gan ; and about 3 the Prince ordered the retreat, after we had taken M de Norman and M de Conerasand 40 more officers and 30> men prifoners, 2 confidérable pumber were wounded and killed ; Our men gave uarter (o all who efked it, and refufed to take money :'lrom the Prifoners who offered them their purles.— Gen. Griffin ( who went into the town with the Prince ) received a thurft in the breaft with a bayonet, butis a flight wound ; it was done by one of his own men who heard him talk French to a foldier whom he had fe'zed : Lord George Lenox had his horfe fhot under him : It coft us bu:z ten men ; tho’ as it wass dark it was difficult to diflinguifh between friends and foes. But 2s day was coming on, and 45 we might be cut off from Warbourg, we returned the fame way we came, bringing off 2 pieces of cannon, and arrived there at 8 in the morning of the 6th, without moleftation.”, Advices relating to the Pruffian, Au- ftrain, Ruflian and Swedith Armies. Tbe following is an account of a confiderable advantage gained in Saxony, by Lieut. Generat Hutfen. “ The combined ermies -of the Auilrians and the troops of the Empire, having made diffcrent motions, - indicating a defign of cutting us off from Torgau, on the r7ch of Auguft’ Gen. Hulfen marched to Sirchla. The zoth our advanced poit was attacked by the enemy with the greateft Fury, while another of their corps was to keep our camp in awe : The enemy were re- pulfed, their cavalry, the regiment of Deux Points dragoons, s regiment of huflars, and one offoot;, with feveral companies of grenadiers were entirely routed : We made 41 officers prifoners, among wham is a Prince of Naflum Ufinger, 1214 mcn, we tock one piece of cinnon, z pair of colours, & 2 ftandards : The eacmy’s Iofs was upwards of zooo men killed and wounded .

We gave them g levere blow. Oa the news of the Duke of Wirtembeérg’s approach, General Hulfen determined to take poffefiion of the camp of Torgau, which accordingly we did in fight of tre en emy, and without the lofs of a m#n.”” ——The Duke of Wirtemberg -and his treops have been principilly em ployed in raifing contributions, one half of which, it is {1id, he ™ to accountfor to the Emprefs queen ; and they are retiring with grest precipitation from the: froniders of Bruafwick towards S.xony. ‘The lateft Advices irom the King of Fiailw's Amny and the Auftrians and Rufiians are, T H AT the Ruffians bave repafed the Oder, Prince Henry paffed that river, and joined bis brother King of Praffia, leaving part of bis army with Gengral Glalz, to protelt the country againft tbe Ruffian irregulars ; prefently after this junition the King marcbed with bis whole force to the relief of Schwednitz, then blocked np by the Aufirian army under Count Daun ; who immediately retired and envamped at Cunezdorfff .....
