Baron Reifchach, H the emprefs-queen's minifter, has prefented a memorial to the ftates-general, demanding, in the name of her Imperial majefty, the fuccours which their high mightineffes are bound to give her by the treaty of Warfaw and that of Aix-la-Chapelle. A courier from Vienna went thro' here fome days ago for London, with orders to count Colloredo to make to the English court the fame requifition that baron Reifchach has made here. Hague, Nov. 10. The captains of men of war and privateers, who bring prizes into any of the ports of this republick, are prohibited by the ftates-general to unlade their cargoes; and the subjects of this country are forbid to buy any of thofe effects, under a penalty of 1000 gueldres. Paris, Oct. 25. Altho' the utmost precautions were used to conceal from her royal highness, the dauphinefs, the melancholy circumftances of her auguft father, the king of Poland, the affecting news has at length reached her ears, whereupon the was feized with such a violent fit of grief, that it brought on her labour pains, which ended on Thursday laft in a mifcarriage. However, the is now in a fair way of doing well. On this account the Pruffian minifter was immediately ordered to quit Verfailles, and orders were dispatched to the French minifter at Berlin, to retire from that court without taking leave. Paris, Nov. 5. We have received advice, that our troops are fafely arrived at the island of Corfica, and are posted at Calvi, San Fiorenzo, and Ajaccio, in conjunction with the Genoefe. Paris, Nov. 5. Count Stahrenberg, the Imperial minifter, having received inftructions from Vienna, relative to fome new measures concerted with this court, concerning the fuccours which the king gives to the emprefs-queen, that minifter, after feveral conferences held between him and the miniftry, figned a convention, which is faid to be of great importance, and which fettles every thing that is to be done by the two courts in the execution of their agreement. Franckfort, Nov. 7. The decree of the Imperial commiffion against the king of Pruffia was, on the 3d inft. pofted up at the town-houfe, and other publick places: And a ftop has fince been put to the raifing of recruits here for the Pruffian fervice. Vienna, Nov. 16. Our auguft fovereign has claimed, in all the forms, the fuccour of the Germanick body, by virtue of the guaranty of the Pragmatick Sanction and treaty of Dresden. Her majefty has also claimed the affiftance of the crowns of France and Sweden, as guaranties of the peace of Weftphalia. The grand fignior has permitted our court to purchase 4000 Lorfes for remounting the cavalry. Since our last we have the following accounts from Saxony and Bohemia. As foon as the capitulation for the furrender of the Saxon army to the king of Pruffia was agreed to, the king of Poland fet out for that kingdom, and most See p. 517 568 FOREIGN AFFAIR S, 1756. of his Saxon troops have fince entered into the fervice of his Pruffian majefly. Drefden, Nov. 4. His Pruffian majefty not intending to take winter quarters in Bohemia, where the winter begins early, and is extremely fevere, and confequently would make the fubfifting the army from Saxony very difficult, by obftructing the carriage, either by the Elbe or thro' the mountains; marshal Keith was ordered to fend off the baggage of his corps on the 21ft paft, the horse and heavy artillery on the 22d; which was accordingly executed. The king of Pruffia left Struppen the 20th, accompanied with ten battalions to cover the retreat of his Bohemian army, and lay that night at Peterswald, and the next at Lenai; on the 22d, in the morning (leaving his battalions at Lenai) he went on to Lowofchutz, but returned that night to Lenai. The 23d, early in the morning, the camp at Lowofchutz broke up; they formed into two columns, the first commanded by marshal Keith, the fecond by the prince of Pruffia, Marfhal Keith detached four battalions by the banks of the Elbe to guard the right of the army, and, at the fame time, to pick up the detachments placed along the river They joined the army at Lenai. The prince of Bevern commanded the rear-guard, which confifted of eight battalions, five fquadrons of dragoons, and five of Huffars. On the left of the rear of the army, but at fome diftance, was pofted part of the regiment of Zeithen Huffars, to prevent the Auftrian irregulars from acting. No attempt whatever was made to moleft the Pruthians in their retreat, and they lay that night, the 23d, behind Lenai, where they refted the 24th and 25th. The king of Pruffia had occupied, with his ten battalions, all the high grounds about Lenai, and his army continued to retire in perfect fafety, his battalions still marching on and keeping poffeffion of the heights. The army advanced on the 26th to Teutfch Neudroff, encamped there, and the next day, the 27th, to Schoenwald, where they had orders to separate into quarters of cantonment. On the 28th, the king arrived at Great Sedelitz. Part of the camp at Sedelitz broke up that day, and the reft the next, and went into quarters of cantonment. The whole Pruffian army is cantoned in the villages hereabout, and along the Elbe towards Drefden, fo as to be capable of affembling, in less than 24 hours, upon any occation. Camp at Buden, Nov. 5. As the Pruffians retired from Bohemia, general Hadik always followed and harrafied them. He has taken many prifoners, and a great deal of baggage. The defertion of the enemy is greater than ever. Some days ago the enemy spread a re port, that they defigned to enter into Bohemia with a body of troops by Zittau and Gabel, but marfhal Browne having ordered general Lacy, with fome battalions, and feveral companies of grenadiers, befides Huffars and Croats, to Jung Bunzlau, and lieut. col. Lauden, with 800 Croats, to advance towards Gabel and Romburg, they thought proper to defer the execution of their defign, and take up their quarters at Zittau, Lobau, and Gerlitz. We have received advice, that the enemy have put the greatest part of their troops into winter quarters, and that they have only a body of 4000 men that are intrenched behind Hollendorf, with fome pieces of cannon. Whereupon our general has formed a plan to diflodge them. We have likewife an account, that the Pruffian army, under count Schwerin, retired from their camp near Knigingretz on the 21ft, and on the 25th ult. entered into a new camp at Skalitz, near the confines of the county of Glatz, where, it feems, they are to enter into quarters of cantonment; fo that none of the Pruffian troops are to take up their winter quarters in any territory belonging to the queen of Hungary, which gives great fatisfaction to the court of Vienna, as they will have a moft numerous army affembled in Bohemia before the end of this winter, by the arrival of their troops from Italy and Flanders, and perhaps by being joined by a large body of French, and another of Ruffian auxiliaries. Berlin, Nov. 6. The marquis de Valori, minifter from France, fet out the d on his return to Paris, without taking leave; and the baron de Kniphausen, our minifter at the French court, will fhortly leave it in the fame manner. Notwithftanding it was intimated to our minister at Paris, that he must not appear at court, no orders were fent him to return home, till the departure of the marquis de Valori, from hence broke off the correspondence which has fo long fubfifted between the two courts. The canton of Berne have written not only to his moft Chriftian majefty, but to the king of Sardinia and the states-general, in reference to their troops in the pay of thefe powers refpectively, that they shall not be employed offenfively, as it appears to them, that, whatever the motives may be, the prefent is very likely to end in a religious war; and it is equally remote from their inftructions and interefts, to contribute in any manner towards fo deftructive an event.
