The undoubted Intelligence re- ceived from both France and Spiin, of the Treaty con- cluded oo the 25th of Auguft lsft, between the two Crowns, engrofles the Atiention of all our Politicions, and makes, it is faid, the principal Object of the Deli- berations of the States of Holland, who, if Spain fheuld join France againft England, could not refufe the latter the Succours fipulared by Treay. 2 We are silured, thar fince this News hdth been con- firmed, & Motion hath been made to sugment the troops of the Republick with 20,000 Men ; but this Motion was reje€ied by thole, who rejected all others of the fame Tendency in the Time of the Princefs Governante.

Prince Xavier of Saxony immediately inveited Branfwick, and opened trenches before it but he has not had the fame feccels tnere. In order to cover the ficge, he had taken pofizffion of Londroff, and the important pafs of Olper, and had intrenched u body of troops there. GenLukner joined in Prince Frederick of Bruniwick, arrived by rorced masches in the neighbourhqod ; sad whilft the General marched With his cavalry towards Peine, Prince Fre- derick attacked the French ia ¢heir inirenchments, and, after an obRtinate defence forced them, with & confidera- le lofs on their fide,snd tock about zeo prifoners, with - ‘feveral officers, one piece of cannonm; and a Major Ge- neral. T'ae young Prince proceeded, without lofs of time to Brunfwick, where he entered the 13th in the evening, with fix batialions, and was received with the greateft joy by the garrifon and the inhabitants. Their arrival wes notified to the befiegers by a general volley fiom the ramparts, which made them sbandon their trenches with great precipitation. They have fince a- bandoned Wolfenbuttel, after levying exorbitant con- tributions, as they have done every where, and retired to Scenfen. Severl reinforcements having fince march- ‘ed by Hanover that way, it is thought that Prince Xavier’s corps may have fuffered in its retreat, elpecislly & he has a pretty large qyantity of artillery wich him.
