R ™ sl Prague, Sept. 17. The King of Pruffia’s Defigns feem to be to eul off Mar jfbal Daun from Lufatia and binder bis Retarn to Sax’my, in order to get there before bim, to fall -upon the Army of the Empire, and carry Drejden before Winter. The Projeét is grand ; and it is probably to defeat it that our Generals [cem to0 be entering Bobemia. Whilf} toe Pruffians are poffeft of Neifs, Schwednitz, and Glogau, ard can at any ‘Lime throw in Trosps and Provifions, our Army can donothing in Silefia, nor even fland its Ground Jor want of a Fortrejs.

The Ruffian army ftill continzes ina&ive, though all Brandenbourg be open to it. L-0:N-D @ :N, O8vber6, Letters from Holland of the 2d inft. import, thata large body of Hanoverian troeps under the Hereditary Prince of Brunfwick, had divided themlelves in fmall ptrties, had paffed the Rhine on the firft inftant, and had tsken poffeflion of Rhynberk, Xanten, Kalkar, Gaoch, and Cleve, and that Wefel had farrendered to them by capitulation. The poftlcript of one letter from the Hague, dated the 3d inftant, takes notice that a report was jaft fpread, that Baron Sporcken, the Hanoverian Envoy at the Higue, had received advice by an exprefs from his brother the General, that the Hereditary Prince had made him/felf mafter of Welfel : but this merits con- firmation. O&ob. 6. Recraits are raifing with [o much Diligence in Hanover, that Parents are compelled to Jend for their Sons, wha have left-the Country to avoid being inlifled. Letters from Rome inform us, that the Pope is highly provoked at the Stop which the King of Portugal bhath put 20 all Intercourfe between bis Subjelts and the Court and Subjects of Rome, in Spirituals as well a5 Tempirals.

Saturday lafi bis Majefly's Frigate Vengeance arrived at Spithead in 23 Days from Quebe, with Dilpatches Jrom General dmberft. Letters from Conftantinople bring a confirmation, that the French fquadron commanded by M. Roch- more was cruifing in the Archipelago. Some private letters received in Hollsnd from France advile, that as vigorous efforts are making for the reft of the campaign, and as many mechanics and artifans dragged from their employments and forced into the fervice, as if they had in view the conqueft of a kingdom. Other letters from France advife, that the report ftill prevailed that M. Broglio was [oliciting permiffion to go to Aix 1a Chapellie : that he would be fucceeded in the chief command by the Count de St. Germain ; and that either Gen, Chevert or the Countde Maillebais (who is jult returned to Court trom the banifhment which was occafioned by his difpate with Marfhal d’ Etrees afier the battle of Flaltenbec) would command s body of troops on the lower Rhine.

In the late bad weather the Maria, Scott, from Londor to Quebec, was loft near Plymouth : fbe was a very large Jloreflip, formerly the Elizabeth Indiaman.

The unhappy man who conducted faid diverfion, perifhed together with the whole crew, 12 in number. The cupola of our exchange fell down, and dathed an adjacent houfe to pieces. Nothing can defcribe the horror of the mangled bodies. Several boats in the river were funk and dama- ged by sfliting faid veffel. Many of our Gentlemen and others are much hurt by endesvouring 'to fave the effells of the veflel. The lofs is computed at upwaeds of 4300 1. Capt.
