Numbers of rumours were girt alved yetlerday of
frail battles fubfequent to the salon of the 14th
tween the French and PrufGans. but none of them
telling on any authority.
No accounts refpcfling the affirm of the LIM hare

.bceci received, but thole tranfmitted by Lntd
viTH, and even thefe are not Ittiely of& ial, but only
the (ketch of a fpedator near the fcene, from what
had been 118114 communicated to him by others. or
which he had an oppottunity of nbferving. Lord
Motrer it was at Brunfwiek when he fent r ffhislaft
difphtch ; and the account of his being obliged to
depan from the Peoria+ head quarters nn foot ♦it►
to much preelpitatinn, is greatly ezaggetateJ.
One report Rates that in the salon- alluded to,
Plum Fsensatca, the King's brother, Was killed
another, that In was wounded in the eye : °Aar.,
that the King was wounded. There is no real form..,
dation for thefe rumours. 'The Duke of Bconywice
was wounded and fent off foe Magdeburg, but had sme
attired there. The ground in the rear of the Pruf•
Rams being open, it was thought better to find him
where he might be fteure from any fudden incurfiow
of the enemy's flying parties, as well as from diA
turbance in cafe the army Ilsould and it prudent to
►etreat.

The afli,m of the t4th was not confined to the
centre, but general, the force on both fides having
been much concentrated. The Proffians, however,
though worried, were not put to the tout ; and these..
fore we are not without hopet.that we 641 loon re-
ceive more favour able accounts .fr .na the ftene of
aflion. In fad any thing num of *Volute and de- .
cifive viefor y is little Runt of a defeat to the French.
The PrufGans have their recruits and refources at
hand—the French bring them from a dilhncr.
The former are fortounded by their own country-
men and tt rend the latter by nothing but enemies who
will not fail in cafe of their defeat to heraf them
withautintermiffion. The phyfical refourees of Proffitt
are great—fufficient, if pre perly direded, to deftroy an
army thrice as nometous as BOVAMTI can bring

aga.ne her ; but half medium will not do...ad
.Pruela knows it. We may therefore hops, that the
whole Pruffian peafiantry, ilia:teary, will be brought
forward. Should this be the cafe, it would not be
one.or two viemies that would give ultimate faced,
to the French. In fait, if Pruffia be refolved to
maintain her independence, the will deflroy her ene-
my even by (offering defeat; for nothing but fubmif-
fion on the part of Pruffia can Cave the French army
from annihilation.
The Pruffian Court has not been taken by furprife.
It knows the greatnefs of the flake at iffue. The
whole kingdom and the army are of one mind. But,
knowing the enemy they have to contend with, they
moil have calculated on the poffibility of meeting
with diallers in their fire operations with an enemy
fo powerful, whole troops have been engaged in actual
warfare for years, and whole officers have ken moth
fervice ; and, with the fate of Auflria before their
eyes, they could not be ignorant of the doom that
awaits them, if they fhould fubmit to the Ufurper.
We cannot, therefore, allow ourfelves to believe,
that temporary (Mallets will decide the fate of Pruf.
fia. They mull have counted on the poffibility, and
even the probabity of meeting with them, and con-
verted useafures for retreating and rallying, till their
gailmat confederates, the Ruffians, can be brought
into the field. The chief refources of Proffia are
however within herfelf ; and unlefs the be prepared
for every facrifice that honour and independence
can demand from her, fhe mug tiara degradation
and political annihilation.

Some of the private letters, by yellerday's Maa,
'session great advantages having been gained by dna
?ruffians. One of thee, of the i 7th, in a poilfcript,
totes--
" That an extraordinary exprefs was that infant
• reciived from Berlin, with information that the
" event of the battle with the Centre Army was en-
" tirely in favour of the PrufGans ; and that, on the
" part of the French, Mu ear was killed, and General
" Baanstootre, with 7000 troops, taken prifoners."
Another Letter, to a very refpeitable bode, dated
on the 17th, lays, that the letter was opened to tom-
sonnieate the intelligence of a decifive (utters ob-
tained by the ?ruffians. But thefe clearly refer to
the alai, of the t3tb.
The next arrival from the Continent may be ex-
pelled to bring molt inspensat intelligence.

It is rumoured that an Engin Army under Lord
Moms is to fecond the People in Brabant, Flanders,
and Holland, in their efforts to throw off the French
yoke, while at the Came time General Moasatt lands
in La Vendee with a choral corps of foreign troops
in our pay, together with Volunteers from among
the French prifoners. It is added that the latter is
to hoift the Royal Standard, and proclaim the KING
of Fsattcs in the Wenern Departments, where, an-
cording to all letters from thofe countries, the inha-
bitants are ripe for revolt, and etbiere Ls u expeard.
It is alto Paid, that in all the Southern Departments
of France. infurreitions have been organifed for Come
time, by the friends and adherents of the Bouesors
and of Moiety ; and that fhould the infurgenta nb
tiiri any Cignal advantages, little doubt is entertained
but that his &moist' Majesty will at length purfue
a witer policy, and declare hi mfelf againft the Ufurper.
