1t is now (aid ‘that Sir BEdward Hawke and Com: Y.ord Howe, will moft certainly fail with the expedition _Heet in a few days, on bosrd which, not lefs than 10,- 000 forees are to be embarked. Monfeur Bufly is prepairing to return to France. Vienna, May.5. Maifhal Daun’s Army will foon be filled up by frefh Reinforcements : the Vacancies were cccafioned by the Troops deteched to join the Forces in Silefia. The CampTwhich the Field- + Marfhal has marked is between Noettnitz and Drefden. He will not be able to execute his Pian till the 20th, The King of Pruffia has paffed the Elbe with Part of his Troops, and encamps over sgsinft Strehls, and Prince Henry remains on this Side the Elbe at the Head of thofe which remain behind. The Deferters who came over to us from the Pruifians deny the Truth of the Report that his Pruffian Majeity is gone to com- mend the Army in Silefia, and that he has left that in Saxony to Prince Henry. Whatever good Opinion his Pruffian Majefty may have of the military Talents of the Prince his Brother, he does not hold his Rival in fo contemptible a Light as to leave him to another. All the Pruffians who were pofted at Zwickau, Gers, snd that Neighbourhood, have evacuaied thofe Places, and going to the main Army. Vienna, May 6. Our Court has feen with furprize in the public Papers, that the King of Pruffia has in- timated to the Foreign Minifters refiding at this Court, that he offers, as he always has done, to put a Stop to the Spilling of Blood, to give up & Part of Silefia ; which is the more extrsordinary, in as much as his Pruffian Maijefty, in any of his Overtures for peace, never offered to give up any of his Pretenfions. It is ealy to com- prehend with whatView fuch kind ofReportaare fpread. Hallt, May 4. Wehave received Advice, that the Emprefs Queen of Hungary, tho' fhe has given her Confent to the holding of a Congrefs, has neverthele(s enjoined Marthal Daun fteadily to purfue the Plan of Operation: coneerted for the prefentCampaign,in Hopes ofGaining fome importantAdvantages over thePruffians, Berlin, May 9. The King was fill at Meiflen the 2gth of laft Month, but was fending Troops to Sildfia. A fingular Report prevails here which is suthorifed by feveral Leuers, but notwithftanding this we do not perfeitly credit it. This is,that 7000Ruffians have taken Warfaw, and that the General of the Crown is affem- bling the Troops of the Kingdom in order to go and sttack them. : ; Hansver, May 10. The Body of Troops which the King of Pruffia has lately marched to Silefia, coniifts of 30,000 Men, Marfhsl Daun being unable to fend thither a Reinforcement of the like Force, it is apparent that the Pruflians muft be fuperior to the Auftriins in that Part of Germany. . . Vienna, May 12. The Letters drrived from Silefia bring an Account, that the Head Quarters of Biron - Laudohn continue at Waldenbourg; and that General had only {ent out fome Detachments on the other Side < ofthe Neifle, into the Territories of Ottmachsu and Grottkau, and towards Cofel. For the reft, there have only pafled afew flight Skirmifhes, which decide no- thing ; but the Pruffians are now making [uch Move- ments, as evidently dilcover their Intentions. A Body of 30,000 Men his juft pafled by Groffenhayn in their Way to Silefia. Icis ftill afhrmed that he is going to aflume the entire Command of the Army in that Prin- cipality, Whether this be true or not, his Forces will be greatly fuperior on that Side, unlefs M. Laudohn can find Means to be jsined by the Troops fent to his affiftance by M. Daun, or fome other Corps. Gottingen, May 7. 'The Day before Yefterday, M. de Beifunce fallicd dut of this Town, st the Head 6f aDetachment, with a View of carrying a Poft of the Hanoverians, near Hohnftadt. On his Arrival between Cattembourg and Lindau. he found a Body of Huffars under the Command of General Luckner. A fliarp fkirmifh enfued, from which theFrench got off with the Lofs of 30 Prifoners and 60 Horfes. they returned to this Place, but «: Ebergotz, met with a Detachment of Cavalry commanded by Captain Brincky,who took from them again two Captains, one Licut. two Cornets, and 1 foldiers. Duffeldorp, May 12. The Prince de Soubife will bring zbout an Accommodation. Nothing haitens = Peace fo much 2s avigorous Profecution of the War, It will be impoflible to refift the two French Armies, amounting to above 200,000 effetive Men: On the Upperand Lower Rhine, Soubife’s Army, compoled of the Flower of the Troops of France, will be encamped the 15th: Its Train of Artillery is the fineft ever brought into the Field, confifting wholly of Brafs Picces, from ten to fourteen Pounds : From whence we may infer, that thefe Troops sre deftined to pufh forwards, and not for Sieges. N E W-Y O R K, Auguft 3. Friday lait 8 Franlports, under Convoy of the Ship Spry, arrived here from Dominique, with whom came Capt Ogden and his Company of Rangers. YESTERDAY an Exprefs arrived from South Carolina difpatched from thence by the Governor and Col. Grant, to General Amherf. From the Gazette of the 15th b of July, we bave taken the following frefb interefling ADVICES, Viz. CHARLESTOWN, (South Carolina) July 15. Col GRANT’s HeadQuarters, near Fort Prince George, Friday, JurLy 10. 1761, wre 22N June 7th, we marched from Fort Pri:_ace g 11 Geotge, near 2600 men ftrong, including o5 11 pack horle-men, who were moftly all arm- Zeo> ed, with a line of pack horfes, &c. amount- ing to upwards of 700, and with upwards of 400 head of Cattle: The 8.hand gth. we made forced marcher, to get thro' two dangercus pafles, which was done without a fhot being fired at us. The 10th, early in the Morning, we moved from our Encampment péar Eftatoe Old Town;'and before the rear had got entirely off the Ground, our cattle gnird was fired upon by {ew Indians, who kept et a coufiderable diftance, and did no hurt. Finding Indians round us was nofurprife to any one perfon in the line ; for the whole was convinced that we fhould heve an engsgement that day : Tndeed the corps were ordered that Morning to losd for the firft time, and it feemed as if the Colotiel had fixed thst for the ation. About half an hour sfter eight, ou¥ Indigns difcoveted a body of the Enemy on our right flank, & good many fhots were exchanged, and the Che - rokees, tho’ numerous, gave way. An Enemy Indian was killed and fcalped, ours fuftained no lofs =t that Time. The Indian hoop went directly after from front to rear of the line on both Aanks, and then the firing which lafted till 12 o’Clock, became 1 little more fa- rious. The Light infantry who were in front, wera fired at from a diftance, and no hurt done to any corps but one private man, who was flightly wounded. The fucceeding corps fuffered more, and the heavieft fire from the enemy st laft feemed ty fall upon the rear. The troops behaved with great {pirit and coolnels, and by the heavy fire of their platoons, difledged the enemy from the advantageous pofts which they had taken pof- feflion of, and that too with very confidersble lofs, as appears from the declarations of the feveral prifone:s fince taken by ws; and by what appears ftill a fironger proof, their never attempting togive us any oppofition fince. Popping fhots continued till two 0’Clock, when the enemy tho't proper to retire. The ground they had taken pofleflion of was really well chofen, and in- gcceffible to us who had an incumbered line of march, of more than two miles in length. Confidering the duration of the aétion, our lofs is very confiderable ; Exfign John Monro of the 22d, who was dangeroufly wounded lsft Year, with ten more of the line, were killed ; Enfign Knight of the Royal, Lieut. Barber, and Enfign Campbeli of Col. Burton's, #hd Lieut. Terry of the Provincials, with 48 of the line are wounded : fome hotfes were killed, and we were abliged to throw fome Lags of flour into the river for want of horfes to carry it up, as the packhorfemen could hardly be forced back for their Joads, many of which they threw off to fscilitate their efcape, for they were a little frightned: A little after 3 o’clock our wounded were drefled, and carriages provided for them, and the whole line march- ed on to Etchoey that night ; 1coa men were left under Col. Middleton’s command to take care of the wounded and oar provifions; while Col. Grant, with the reft; marched on, at ten that night, to Nokafee and Taflee ; he was in hopes of furpriling fome of the Indians in thele towrs, but they were found entirely abandoned : Next dey the whole joined at Noockafee, and fince that time we have walked thra’ every town in the mid- dle fettlements, as wrell as the outlide towns which lye on 3 different branch of the Tensfee., While Col. Grant procesded on the evening of the 15th to deftroy thele outfide towns, Col. Laurens was le/t with about 100 mzn totake care of the wounded, the provifions and the camp. I[ngoingto Stickney we found it per- haps the moft difficult road ever troops paffed over. Heaven has blelt us with the greateft fuccels on every occafion; we have finithed our bufinefs as complendly asthe moft fsnguine of us could have withed ; all their towns, amountingto 15 in number, befides many little villagesand fcattered houfes, have been burnt; up- wards of 1400 acres of corn, according tos moderate computation, entirely deftroyed ; and near soco Che- rokees, men, women and children, driven to the moun- tdins to ftarve ; their only fabfiftance for fome time paft being horfe fleth. Not the {malleft veftige of corn was found any where but at a town called Teflantee, where our Indians got sbout zo bufhels. The Officers and men are exceflive- ly fatigued ; no body of troops was ever known to ftay folong in an Indian Country before; the dread of his majefty’s arms has been fhewa to advantage, by the effecis on this occafion, for the Cherokees have given up, at & [mall expence, one of the fineft countries in the world : Our wounded sre doing well ; of thefe unlucky people only three private have died.
