Dantzic, Dec. 14.

HE Ruffian Army under the Command of Marshal Soltikoff, approaching daily nearer and nearer to us, and most of the Troops of which that Army is composed being to take up their Winter-Quarters in our Neighbourhood, oblige us not a little to engage the Watchfulness of our MagiArates on this Occafion, as we begin to fear the Ruffian Generals may have in View their becoming Mafters either of this City or Suburbs, in order to make it a Place of Arms; therefore to prevent any Surprize, the Guard is doubled every where, and a great Number of heavy Cannon placed, efpecially in fuch Parts where they may endeavour to cross our Ditches under Favour of the Ice, they being frozen up. At the fame Time, the Ice is daily kept broke at a certain Distance from the Ramparts. According to the Distribution intended to be made of the Ruffian Army, it is ftipulated, that Marshal Soltikoff fhall have his Head-Quarters at Elbing, General Fermor at Thorn, and Prince Menzikoff at Marienwerder,whither the greatest Part of the Artillery is already transported.

Madrid, Dec. 15. The King's principal Attention is fixed on putting his Forces in a Condition to make this Monarchy refpecta

ble in Europe. Orders are juft given for augmenting the Troops with twenty Men per Company, and to add feveral new Ships to the forty which are ready for Service.

18. Our new Monarch's gracious Deportment and Affability charms all the World. It must augment his Power, and his Splendor, and Spain will flourish more than ever under his Reign.

Hamburg, Dec. 21. In the Night between the 21ft and 22d a Shock of an Earthquake was felt here, and in the Neighbourhood, which lafted about a Minute. The fame Shock was alfo felt at Kiel, and other Places in Holftein; but we don't hear of any Damage done by it.

Copenhagen, Dec. 22. About one p'Clock this Morning was felt here an Earthquake, which was foon followed by three others lefs violent, and lafted about Half a Minute, but happily no Damage was done : All we could obferve, was, it came from the North, and passed towards the South, and was most felt in the little Island of Amagh. It was likewife felt at Flensbourg fomewhat longer in its Duration, and more violent, hut with out doing any Mifchief: The fame at Slefwick and Eluneur: And at the fame Time at this laft Place, the Sea was fo agitated,

that

that feveral Ships in that Port were driven from their Anchors.

Bareith, Dec, 22. On the 14th and 15th the Cold in thefe Farts was fo extraordinary and violent, that it was fcarcely fupportable,

The Thermometer of the famed Reaumer, was fallen to the 15th Degree, and exactly, the fame as it was in the Year 1709, Many Birds in their Flight drept down dead, fo tharp was the Air.

Cadiz, Dec. 22. Of late we have had very stormy Weather; many Ships have been foft; Admiral Broderick with his Squadron has put into this Port, The Admiral's own Ship has fuffered confiderable Damage. Two large Ships were obliged to cut down their Mafts, and, according to all Appearance, it will take up fome Time to refit thofe three Ships for Service. The Admiral feems determined to put to Sea in fome other Ship, left the Remains of the French Fleet fhould Sake this Opportunity to flip out of the Bay. Leipfic, Dec. 25. The Severity of the Cold felt here has been more fenfibly fo at Drefden, where the Want of Fuel has obiiged them to cut down all the ornamental Trees, both large and small, not excepting the Fruit-trees in the Gardens of Zinzendorff, oppofite the Gate of Pirna, to make Firing for the Auftrian Troops encamped in the adjacent Country.

From the Pruffian Head-Quarters at Willdruff, Dec. 30. In the Night between the 26th and 27th, the King of Pruffia marched with fix Battalions and fome Cavalry from Freyberg to Mohorn near Hertzogfwelda, diftant one German Miie from hence. His Pruffian Majefty continued all the next Day at Mohorn; and, on the 28th, he returned so Freyberg. Nothing was attempted by the Austrians either on Keffelfdorff, of any other of the advenċed Posts.

The Mereditary Prince of Brunfwic arrived at Freyberg on the 26th, and the Troops under his Command came in on the 27th: The Appearance they made, and the Spirit they fhewed, is highly commended.

On the 29th, the King of Prussia, accompanied by his Serene Highnefs, matched in two Columns from Freyberg towards Dippofwalda; and, it is faid, that this Night his Pruffian Majefty will be at Pretzchendorff, and the Corps led by General Hulfen at Frauenftein; but the Tronps, brought by the Hereditary Prince, remain at Freyberg and Chemnitz.

Prince Henry, in the mean Time, draws the Attention of the Auftrians to this Side. His Royal Highness ordered General Zeihan, very early Yesterday Morning, to make an Attack upon the Village of Pesterwitz,

which has fucceeded as well as could be wifhed: That General not only made himfelf Master of that Place, but of feveral other Villages occupied by the Auftrians: And after having occafioned a great Alarm in the Auftrian Camp, and made thirty Pandours and two Officers Prifoners, returned this Morning to Keffelfdorff.

Hague, Jan. 4. The last Accounts we have from Prince Ferdinand's Army, are of the 30th past, which fay, that M. de Broglio,. (who has lately received the Marthal's Staff) has called in all his Detachments, with a feeming Design of atttcking his Serene Highnefs: That on the 24th, the French Grenadiers, with the Troops placed between Budz-" batch and Freidberg, advanced towards the Lahne: And that on the following Day a large Body of French, (which proved however to be only a Part of their Army) appeared before the Allies, but without coming to any Action; only a fight Cannonade paffed between them on the 25th and 26th, on the Side of Klein-Linnés and Heuchelheim, without any great Effect on either Part: And that on the 29th, Colonel Luckner, had, with his Chaffeurs, attacked a Body of the Enemy, consisting of 400 Men, the greatest Part of which were cut to Pieces, and the Commanding Officer, with all the Reft (except only 22 men who escaped) made Prifoners of War, and bite Piece of Ordnance taken.

We hear, that the Hereditary Prince of Brunfwick, with the Detachment under his Command, arrived on the 2 5th pait at Chemnitz in Saxony, without the leaft Lofs on his March; fo that it is thought he might be able to join the King of Prüffia the next Day, who, by the laft Accounts of him of the 23d, was at Freyberg; at which Place, as well as the grand Prussian Army, Things remained in their former State.

8. By our laft Letters from Prince Ferdinand's Army of the ift İnftant, his Serene Highness's Head-Quarters were still at Kroff dorff; and nothing material had paffed, fince the preceding Accounts, between the Armies upon the Laline. But we are informed from thence, that eight Battalions and several Squadrons of French had, on the gift paft, appeared before Brauffenburg, á Village fituated towards Marburg, about fix Miles on the Left of the Allied Army, who had there a strong Poft, fupported by fome Battalions: however nothing paffed but the Exchange of a few Cannon Shot; and the French returned the fame Way they came. And that on the 28th, five Battalions and feven Squadrons of Lieutenant General Imhoff's Corps arrived at Ober-Weimar, about

Prince Ferdinand's Head-Quarters at Marbourg, Jan. 8. The Duke of Broglio not having found it practicable to furprize the Allied Army, much less to attack them in Front, was obliged, from the Severity of the Weather, to retire back to Friedberg, where he still remained, according to the beft Advices on the 4th inftant. In order however to draw fome Advantage from the Abfence of the Hereditary Prince and his Detachment, and to keep the Communication open with Gieffen, which he feemed to propofe fixing the Head of his Winter-Quarters, the French General made large Detachments to his Right and Left. Accord ingly feveral Corps were fent by Weilmunfter to Limbourg, and Weilbourg, to fupport the Troops coming up from the Lower Rhine, and which are actually arrived upon the Dille. Several Skirmishes happened between the detached Parties and Light Troops of both Armies; the only one which was to the Difadvantage of the Allies, was at Herborn, where Gen. Wan. genheim had an advanced Post of a Captain and an Hundred Men, which, not retiring in Time, were, after a vigorous Refiftance, obliged to fubmit. Whilft the French made thefe Motions upon the Right of the Allied Army, the Wurtembergers, fupported by fome of the Light Troops of France, made Incurfions into Heffe upon our Left, by Romrot and Alsfeld, as far as Ziegenfrayn; and in this Manner rendered the Arrival of Provifions, at Prince Ferdinand's Army, from the Country of Naffau very difficult, as well as from that Side where the Wurtembergers were. The violent Rains, which fell at the fame Time, rendered the Convoys flow in arriving from Caffel. Prince Ferdinand therefore has thought it moft advisable, for the Convenience of his Troops, to change his Quarters of Cantonment, and fent off his heavy Baggage on the 2d inft, and the Artillery the 3d. The Army marched the 4th; his Serene Highnefs himself led the Rear Guard on the 5th, and took up his Head-Quar ters at Marbourg, without the leaft Interruption from the Enemy. The main Body of the Army was cantoned in the adjacent

bourg, and another towards the Right of the French. Upon Advice being received here, that the Poft at Dillenbourgh was attacked and clofely preffed by the Enemy, his Serene Highness fet out from hence at One o'clock Yesterday Morning, in order to relieve it. And To-day we received Information, that the Relief was most happily effected last Night by M. de Dernthal, one of his Serene Highnefs's Aids de Camp. Seven Hundred of the French were taken on this Occafion, with about 40 Officers, among whom is M. Paravicini; as alfo feven Pair of Colours, and two Pieces of Cannon.

11. Since we were informed of the Succefs of our Troops in forcing the Town of Dillenbourg, and throwing Provifions into the Caftle thereof on the 7th, we have received likewife the News, that, on the fame Morning, Major Keith's Highlanders, supported by Colonel Luckner's Huffars, who commaanded the whole Body, attacked the Village of Eybach, where Beaufremont's Dragoons had an advanced Poft, near our Quarters on the Side of Dillenbourg, defeated them, and killed and dispersed a great Part of that Regiment, made about So Prifoners, and took near 200 Horfes with their Baggage. The Highlanders diftinguifhed themselves greatly upon the Occafion. There has likewife been another Affair to our Advantage on the Left of our Army. M. de St. Germain, upon the 8th inftant, advanced on that Side with the Grenadiers of the French Army, fupported by fome Dragoons and eight Battalions; but was furprized by the Duke of Holftein, at the Head of our Grenadiers with fome Pruffian Dragoons, and four Battalions in the Neighbourhood of Ebfdorff, and, after a brisk Cannonade, forced to retreat precipitately. In the Purfuit, our Huffars made feven Officers and fifty Men Prisoners. The Enemy has not appeared fince.

Hague, Fan, 18. By the laft Advices from Saxony, which are of the 2d inftant, we hear, that his Pruffian Majefty was himself at Pretfzchendorff, General Hulfen at Frauenftein, and Prince Henry of Prussia remained with the Grand Pruffian Army about Willfdruff; but nothing material had then paffed in those Quar ters,
