Feb. 3. Unimportant as many people consider the pre

which ,0 other war in modern times has ever threatened
&s with. We have loft almost the whole of onr poftef
fions on the continent of North-America. But it is hot
this loss of territory which is rhott to $e regretted; we
have loss the zffe&ions^ and incurred the hatred of three
rciltiens of people ¥ho were lately our friends and fellow

able to reduce them again by force to our dominion, fub

FEB. 12. The motions of the Austrian, and Pruffiau
armies, are so marked, and Aricus; that there Cannot be 1
doubt of a War approaching: the mercantile people, who
upon these occasions are the most quickfighted of any,, are
making arrangements in the Prussian dominions, which
fl?ew their apprghenfiphi; for the orders last given from
Hambro., for.Silefia linens, went b;ck unsatisfied, a n<w
price being fixed; as the difficulty of getting them was
^xpe&d to increase very soon. So impenetrable, however,
is the Prussian cabinet, that there is not the smallest ratro
bal conjecture concerning the object of that war, which
there is every reason so believe will soon break out.

Engineers great ;. —, deficiency, which the King was. taking
every means to remedy by encouragement to both French,
