But the victory obtained last month by the king of Pruffia, feems to have made them lay afide any thoughts of threatning us with an invafion; for they have fince ordered their troops to march from the interior parts of the kingdom towards Alface and Flanders, 310 Flanders. FOREIGN AFFAIRS, 1757. With those marching towards Alface, they are to form an army of 40,000 men, which is to march directly into Bohemia; and the troops marching towards Flinders are defigned as a reinforcement for their army in Weftphalia, tho that army, they fay, confifts already of 110,405 effective men, viz. 86,835 infantry, and 23.570 cavalry, dragoons, and hußars. Then, with regard to their naval affairs, they tell us from Paris of the 17th inft. that they have advice there, that the fquadron of M. de Beaufremont, and that of M. de Revest, have ned that of M. de la Mothe at Louifbourg; but this we can scarcely think pofble, as la Mothe failed from Brett only the 34 ult... From Weftphalia we had an account of feveral lite fkirmishes, that had happened Between the French and Hanoverians before the 14th inst. fince which we have received the following advices. Bielefeld, June 14. The duke of Cumberland is ftill here, tho' he altered the potion of his camp this morning, by placing it between this place and Herword. His royal highness thought this alteration necesfary, in order to fruftrate the defign of the enemy; who, not judging it proper to at tack us on the fide of Bricwede, after having reconnoitred the fituation of our camp feveral days, made a motion on their left, as if they meant to get between us and the Wefer. It is impoffible to tell whether marfhal d'Etrees will attack us or not: The movemen's his army makes fo near us, induce us to think he will attack ; and the want of fubistence muft at last oblige him to retreat or fight. However, we are prepared to receive him here, and the heavy baggage having been fent away, we have now nothing left to incumber us in action. We very well know that the enemy's army is fuperior to us in number; but we dare fatter ourselves that we shall convince them, if they attack us, that the valour of our troops, the juftice of our caufe, and the defence of the country, will, in a good meafure, make amends for our want of numbers. Extract of a Letter from the Hanoverian Head Quarters at Holtzuyfen, dated June 18. "On the afternoon of the 13th his royal highnefs the duke of Cumberland, having advice that the enemy caused a large body of troops, followed by a fecond, to march on our right to Burgholte, gave orders to have his tent taken down, and the army to march that evening towards Hervorden. At the fame time major general Hardenberg march. ed with four battalions of grenadiers, and and a regiment of horfe, to reinforce the poft at Hervorden, where there were two battalions, and one regiment of horse under lieut. gen. Blook. Count Schulenberg covered the left of our march with a battalion of grenadiers, a regiment of horse, and the light troops of Bucklebourg. The whole army marched in two columns. The right was composed of horse, and followed by two battalions to cover their paffage thro the inclofures and defiles, paffed by the right of Bielefeld, and the left of infantry, hy the left of the fame town. The vanguard of the French army attacked our rearguard, commanded by major general Finfiedel, very brifkly, and at firft put them into fome confusion, but they immediately recovered themselves, and a few cannon hot foon difengaged us from the enemy. This was in the beginning of the night At break of day the enemy's reinforcements returned to the charge, but were always repulfed with lofs, nor could they once break thro' lieut. col. Alfeldt's Hanoverian guards, which clofed the army's march, with a detachment of regular troops and the new corps of hunters, who arrived but the day before, and are greatly esteemed for their bravery and conduct. We have loft lieut. Linftow, a Hanoverian officer, and 10 or 12 foldiers. The enemy had about 100 both killed and wounded, among whom are feveral cfficers. The army encamped at Cofoldt the 14th, and staid there the next day, when the enemy's detachments advanced to the gates of Hervorden, and made as if they would attack the town, after having fummoned it ; but we answered this fammons fo well, that they retired, and we have not feen them fince. The troops which were posted at Hervorden, and formed the rearguard, paffed the Weler on the fide of Remen very quietly. We have encamped here ever fince the day before yesterday, and shall regulate our difpofitions by the motions of the enemy. The little forage we had at Bielefeld was burnt thro' mistake by our own people, as we were carrying it away. Minden, June 19. The duke of Cumberland having left a body of troops at Bielefeld to cover his retreat, this corps after fome skirmishes with the French has rejoined the army in the environs of Herfort. The duke afterwards came near his bridges on the Wefer, and has within these few days caufed the artillery, baggage, and ammunition, to pafs over. Some detachments are alfo gone over the river, and on the right between Minden and Oldendorp, have marked out a new camp, where the army is going to reaffemble, and which is very advan tageoufly fituated, having the Wefer in front, and the right and left covered with eminences and marshes. Duffeldorp, June 21. The French, after having chased the Hanoverians towards the Wefer, have fixed their head quarters at Bielefeld. Part of their army is in pursuit of the Pruffians, who retired towards Magdebourg, and another part is preparing to go and befiege that town. They are haftening for that purpose, the transport of the heavy artillery, which was left behind. • See our last month's Magazine, p. 260. A 1 FOREIGN AFFAIRS, 1757. 311 As the greatest part of the remains of the Auftrian army, after their defeat on the 6th wlt. retreated into, and took shelter in Prague, that large city was prefently invefted by the victorious Pruffians, commaaded by their king on one fide of the Moldaw, and by marthal Keith on the other; and as foon as his Prussian majesty heard that the other part of the Austrian army, which had fled towards Benefchau, with fome other troops, had reaffembled under count Leopold Daun at that place, he detached the prince of Bevern, with a fufficient body of troops to obferve his motions, whilft in the mean time he continued the blockade of Prague, wherein were inclosed, as is faid, no lefs than 48,000 Austrian troops, with most of their chief generals, viz. prince Charles of Lorrain, marshal Brown, the two princes of Saxony, &c. In the night, between the 23d and 24th, the Auftrians made a furious fally with 12,000 men, commanded by prince Charles in perfon, and attacked the Pruffians on the fide of marthal Keith's quarters at Weiffenberg; but their attack was fuftained by the Pruffian piquets with fo much bravery, that their whole army had time to get under arms, when the Auftrians were attacked in their turn, and forced to retreat into the town with lofs, which was certainly confiderable, as the action continued from two till feven in the morning. On the 29th, at midnight, the Pruffian artillery being arrived, they began to batter and bombard the town, which they have continued ever fince, but we do not hear that they have begun as yet to make any regular approaches, in order to ftorm the place, as they are in hopes that the garrifon, or rather the army, inclofed in it, will foon be compelled by famine to furrender at difcretion; for as the Pruffans fay, they are already obliged to kill and eat their horfes; whereas, according to accounts from Vienna, they have plenty of provisions, and fufficient to hold out till count Daun be able to march to their relief, which does not feem very probable, as the count has been obliged to retire to Jenikow, for fear of being attacked by the prince of Bevern, who did very much harrass his rear in their retreat. Our advices from Poland and Pruffia are fo uncertain, that those by one mail have often been contradicted by the next. However, it now feems to be certain, that the Ruffian men of war have actually blocked up the ports of Ducal-Pruffia, and have already taken fome of the Pruffian trading Ships; and their troops have, it seems, at laft entered Courland, and established their head quarters at Frauenburg, about 22 miles from Memel, the first town in Pruffia, near to which place the Pruffian general marshal Lehwald is encamped with an army of 30,000 men. From Ratisbon we hear, that on the 20th of April the French minister prefented to the diet a declaration, dated March 20, On the other hand, both the king of Pruffia and his Britannick majesty, as elector of Hanover, have, by their minifter, prefented memorials to the diet, claiming the protection of the empire against the invafion of the French; but as the diet has already, by a majority of votes, declared itfelf against the king of Pruffia, these memorials can have no effect; for by that vote the feveral circles of the empire are obliged to fend their respective contingents to the affiftance of the emprefs-queen, for which purpose they are all raiting troops, who will probably join with the French, instead of apppearing against them. However, many of the princes of the empire will, it is fuppofed, declare themselves otherwife neutral, as the elector of Bavaria has already exprefsly done; and to induce them the more readily to do fo, the king of Pruffia has al ready fent a body of his troops, under col. Meyer, into Franconia, who have advanced as far as Nuremberg, and threaten to raise contributions upon all thofe who refufe to declare themselves neutral.
