The Body of Auftrian Cavalry whichthe King of Pruffia fell in with on the 15th ult. was marchiogto join the Ruffian Army, which wasthen to have at- tacked the Pruffians ; but their Scheme was happily prevented by his Prufian Mbjefty’s defeating thac orps, moft of whoimn, we sre well informed, were eix{er‘rilled or made Prifoners. etters from Paris of the zi1ft, mention, that on the preceeding Day ‘s Courier arfived there from London, with an Anfwer to the laft Propofsls made by France ; by which the Englith feem to.be unalier- -able in their Demands. ‘ Sept. 3. ‘It is {aid her Majefty’s Crown enly will coft, when finithed, 200,000!1 and that her Stomacher -will have about 70,000l in Jewels on it. - Sept. 8.

A letter from Paris.dated the 2:ft paft runs thus, “To Judge by what is publickly talked st prefent, the negociation with the court of London will, after all the meflages that heve paffed, end in the recall of Mr. Bufly and My. Stanley ; and the animoficy be- tween the two nations will be greater. than at any time fince the war begin.. We are told that the of- fers of England are indeed as reafonable as can he ex- pecled in the prefent fimstion of sffsirs: but fome ', things are in sgitation which may, in the iffue, pro- . cure us better terms, and thercfore we are defircus bf grining time: Before we fign preliminaries, we fhould be glad to know whether the conqueft of. Hanover be really impraticable : and we tnink it _highly proper to wait the{uccefs of theAuftrian and ~~Rafliin armies ; 25 it is deermined that there fhall . be no feperate peace. ‘Among other projels that are'on the tapis,it is pre- tended, that if the war fhou!d continue snother yesr, Spain.will affit us with 14,6000,0c0 livres, provi- '..ded Erance will aflilt her to recover Gibralter. We are pretty well informed, that the Marquis de Gii- . maldi hath delivered & memorial on this fubject ; which hath been more than once the {ubject ot de- bate in:council.’ Seps. 5 The lsft advices from Germany fay, that a courier had been -inirecepied with a letter frem Marfhall Braglio to the Duke de Choifeuil, in which theformer {ays, that he difapproved of attempting the + -conqueft of Hanover this year, as to the carrisge of provifions and forage, which it behaved the army to <+ + takee with it, would amount {0 much more than all the contributions that could be raifed in acountry already {o much exhaufled ; and that befides, he could not promife to be sblz to penetrate into it, notwithftanding his foperiority. ¢ I have (fays he) a huge machine to guide, which unhappily is much out ot repair : [ can not preiend to advance till it be put in order, and fhall remgin of the defenfive during the reft of the campaign, and endeavour to reffore order in the army . uolels | be commanded to the contrary. This is my cpinign in the prefent fitnation, when the glory, and .. in fome meafure the fafety of the nation is at ftake.’ This {fay the letters from Germany) plainly fhews thag the Matfhal is afraid of lofing the laurels he / gained in winter ; and that the jealouly among the French general officers increales {0 much that he cannot promi’e himfelf in any thing ; fo that if this letter be genuine, we may lock upon the campaign as finithed for the Marfhal’s army ; and the princels Sonbiie will foon tire of his enterpriz2 againtMur fter. It is faid that one point of the preliminary articles infilted on by the French court is the reftitution of Belleiflz, which has been pofitively denicd. A number of workmen in the building branches are gone to that ifland by the laft tranfports, with materials for ereét- ing s powder mill, building barracks, and repairing ;> the fortifications. . .
