The claims of the King of Pruflia on the'
States of the Empire, and provifiJnally on
the Anterior Circles, for the support of his
army, amounts to' the menftrnuß sum of
about font mßliona sterling. There is no
doubt but his expenses have been enorm
ous, when we confider the number of his
troops, the emenfe way which they have
marched, the recruting, their equipments,
the ammunition required, with hofpicals,
Commifl'aries, &c» These expenles in the
Jsft two years of the war, mull have ex
ceeded his resources, notwitbflahdirg the
ceconemy of the Prnffian Government. It
therefore reft* with this country to defray
them, for the Continential Mendicants are
unable, and our fyftetn of benevolences
gives us reason to apprehend that as we can
not fatisfy his demand, of coorfe he ha»
prudently withdraw from his ruinous al
lience. "
