BY HISTORY of the PRESENT War. the latest advices from Silefia, it appears, that on the 8th of this month, a confiderable body of Ruffians got before Breslau, and had begun to throw fome howitzers into that town, with an intention to fet the magazines on fire; but that lieutenant-general Taufein, commandant of Breslau, having been joined by a body of troops, which major-general Knoblock led to his affiftance, marched out of Breflau, and forced the Ruffians to retire from their batteries, and to decamp from the place, with a confiderable lofs on their fide, General Czernichew, with the Ruffian yan-guard, was then at Wohlau, and the Coffacks and light troops were passing the Oder, (which the drynefs of the season had made very low) and ravaging the Country on the fide of Jauer. His Pruffan majefty had his head-quarters at Strehlen, on the 8th inftant. The Russian fleet, consisting of 31 fail, has, fince the 3d of this month, been employed in debarking their artillery and troops at Rugenwalde; but to the 11th inftant, that fleet has not appeared in force before Colberg. General Romanzow was then preparing to begin his operations against that fortrefs. In Saxony, the Ruffian and Auftrian armies continued in their respective pofitions without an al teration. The Swedes have begun their operations in Pomerania, having not only feized the fortreffes of Demmin and Anclam, but have alfo taken Damgarten and Treblee in Mecklenbourg; they furprifed and made prifoners a poft there, guarded by 50 Pruffians. Letters from the allied army under prince Ferdinand of Brunswick, dated Augut 5th, import, that Waldegrave's, Bland's, and Howard's dragoons, marched the day before from the neighbourhood of Haaren and Meerhoff, to join the mar quis of Granby; and at break of day the next morning, general Sporcken's first line marched from Brinckes, for the fame pure pofe, leaving their baggage behind them, Thefe troops had but just joined the mar quis of Granby's corps, when the French, YAOTZIA who advanced in great numbers behind Stadbergen, began to fire their artillery upon them very brifkly; foon after which, the fire of the musketry began on both fides. At this juncture, general de Wangenheim quitted Buren with the corps under his command, and feigned a march towards Stadbergen; but instead of that, he went to the right of that place, and took the French both in reat and in flank. This motion decided the whole affair, and the French were obliged to retire with confiderable lofs, and in great disorder, to Warbourg. His Serene Highnefs in petfon, pursued the enemy a league and a half behind Welda. The allies took a great number of prifoners. The fecond line of the allied main army, and all the English cavalry, had also advanced, fo as to be at hand in cafe the French had been difpofed to come to a general action; but they declined it. Befides the above affair, there have lately been several skirmishes between the Allies and the French, in which the advantage has been on the fide of the former. In one of them, however, Prince Henry of Brunswick was unfortunately wounded, and died in the night of the 8th of Auguft; and in another, Prince Frederick of Brunswick received a small contufion in his right arm. General Luckner and colonel Freytag have been remarkably successful in deftroying the magazines, convoys, &c. of the French, at feveral different attacks, and in taking upon these occasions a great many officers and men prifoners. The following is the latest account of the fuccefs of thofe vigilant officers, which is dated from Mackhausen, August 15th, and runs thus: "General Luckner being arrived yefterday the 14th, with his corps on the heights near Daffel, detached his regiment towards the enemy's right wing; and colonel Freytag, with all the light horse, towards their left wing, to take them directly in flank. As foon as the enemy perceived us, they drew back all their forces from Dassel, and that neighbourhood towards the forest of Solling, |
