EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE.
BERLIN, (Prussia.) June 17.
A MESSENGER arrived yeflerdey from the
/-{ camp with advice, that the King is in perfect
'health, and that his army is augmented ,to
63,000 men so that we soon expect to hear &f some
hard blow, as an accommodation is nolonger talked
of; and we wonder a declaration has been Expended
so long.
Saxony. June 10. On^the fifth; at night, the Croats
attempted to fu rprzeanadvaaced pWy of our troops
on the frontiers, but were forced to retire so Bohe
mia, after being pursued by our people two milee.
On this occasion several Imperialists weie made prifo
rers and condu&edto Dresden. On opr fide M de
"Hofgartch, Captain of grenadiers, and Chamberlain
to the Elector, an officer of great merit, was killed.
[This seems to be a commencement of Roftil ties be
tween the Empercr and the king of Pruffia.]
Nuremburg, J me 10. The Imperial troeps ard
advancing towards the frontiers of Saxony, and
some regiments have been detached towards the
Danube.' The chief atte rtion of the engineers fee^s
to be carried to the fide of Egra as if there was
more to fear for that place than others; all poffble
means are taking to put it in the beftfiate of defence.
Paris, June 19. The last letters from Breß advTe,
that unde^ the cannon of the r6ad,aGuernfey priva
teer took one cf our merchantmen, richly lAden ;
Our officers were so provoked =.t it, that they propo
fed to the Duke de Chartres- to make a decent on
these little idandr, (warming with pirates ard finug
.plers, hgt the Prince aofwered, that without orders
ft could domnut no a& ofboSiiity. This may per
haps be the motive that hinders oar royal navy co ?
ttuife from linking theft coHairs, when they ma¥
prizes under our nc/fe. We heps they will be com
pelled to reiljre them whether they will or no. As
England, wh9 dreads a defeent from our troeps h^s
marked on. the place where 1 er 56,005 national mi
liia are to encamp Marshal Bro^lio refuses his
measures in consequence ; and the ^e; era! officers
under him haveorders to repair next month tothecoads
ofNorraindy and Erit^nny: M. aeLzlez eelaTd
lierie,intendent ofbis army, is to beat Baycux, he fi ll
of July where the head quarters a:re to be fikrd.
June 28, It is certainly to be dependedupon that
commifficns will be granted in a few days to priva
teers ; and that eighty (even of them are equipped
in the different ports, far which cerrrmfU ns are
ready. The king has given up his fha e, whidh is
an eighth, to the captors. There is great p'enty
of feamcn.
The Corat d'Arandi rhas frequent cometcs
with our minivers, in erder to cemmeriicate to each
other the intentions of the different Courts
A report having prevailed this the government
Md dispatched feeze; orders to Pop in our commer
cial ports 800 fohps necciTuy * ' an exp-d tin; it

Hague, June 25. According to the m A authen
tic intelligence from the empire, revived by a
courier this day. all hop^s of *h acc r mrrodabo - are
at an end; and it is pofitrz ! y dererreined, that the
differences ar.fen touching the luecefion of Bavaria,
can be adjusted only by diot of arms.
Brussels. June 27. T-e court of France have de
manded fatisfa&ion of the court of London, for the

It is hoped that the Bngldh captain who brought on
this afhir, will be ciY?:wed by fl" EngLlh
min^tey, und that peace will be re tfla'iifh-d
-The diligence and act vhy used in accelerating
the a-^^e^t at ft? 1 are incredible. Four hundred
'workmen are kept working upon it -•'ht 'and day.
