And in cafe any of the forementioned perfons thall neglect to obey this order, they must blame themselves if they be compelled by military execution to furnith the quota of fubfiftence at which they are taxed. As to the reft, we affure all perfons in general, and each in particular, of his majesty's royal protection. Given at Leipfic this 29th day of August, 1756." And notice having been given the fame evening to the deputies of the corporation of merchants, that they were to pay all taxes and cuftoms only to the order of his Pruffian majefty, the deputies waited on prince Ferdinand of Brunswick next morning at eleven o'clock, who received them very politely, repeated to them, that from that day all contributions were to be paid to the king of Pruffia and not to his Polish majefty; and affured, them, that they might depend on his friendship, protection, and care to maintain good order. The fame day that prince took poffeffion of the Cuftom-houfe and Excifeoffice; and ordered the magazines of corn and meal to be opened for the use of his troops. The king of Poland had probably notice, or a fufpicion of what his Pruffian majefty intended; for he had just before ordered all the troops of his electorate to leave their quarters, and to affemble in a ftrong camp marked out for them between Pirna and Konigstein, where they have fince intrenched themselves, and have been provided with ammunition, artillery, &c. as if they intended to defend their camp, for which the king of Poland himfelf, with his two fons prince Xaverius and prince Charles, fet out on the 3d Inf. but the rest of the royal family remained at Drefden, where they have been moft politely treated by the king of Pruffia, who arrived with his army on the 8th, and took poffeffion of that capital. Upon his Pruffian majesty's arrival at Drefden, he was waited on by the lord Stormont, our minister at that court, and by count Salmour, the Saxon minifter, whom he received very graciously, and after hearing what they had to propose, he told them, "That it gave him great pleasure to find the king of Poland's fentiments conformable to his declarations; that the neutrality he was defirous to ob ferve was precifely what he required of His Polish majesty's answer is not yet known; but it is probable he must comply; for the accounts from Leipsic of the 14th fay, "We hear that his Pruthan majefty hath pofted his army in fuch a manner that no provifions or forage can be carried into the Saxon camp at Pirna ; that the vanguard of the army has feized the paffes that lead to the circles of Satzer and Leutmeritz in Bohemia; and that prince Ferdinand of Brunswick hath marched a body of troops along the Elhe to take poft at Leutmeritz. It is alfo faid, that befides the troops affembled at Gratz, there are two armies in Upper and Lower Silefia, which have taken poffeffion of the paffes that communicate with the circles of Buntzlaw and Koningsgratz: So that by the wife meafures the king of Pruffia has taken, he both covers his own dominions, and hath it in his power to make his enemy's country the feat of war." The laft accounts from Berlin fay, that bis Pruffian majefty has ordered his minifter at Vienna to leave that court; and private letters by the laft Dutch mail add, that he has actually declared war. Petersburg, Aug. 28. Upon receiving advice, that the king of France had nominated the Marquis de l'Hopital to be his ambaffador to this court, the emprefs appointed count Befuchef, brother to the high chanceller, to reside in the fame quality, on her part, at the French court: And next month he will fet out for Paris, by the way of Dreiden, with count Schwalof, fon of the grand mafter of the ordnance, in his retinue. From the Hague we are told, that the British minifter has again made a demand of the troops ftipulated by treaty to be fent to England, in cafe of its being in danger of being attacked. The parlament of Paris having, as we mentioned in our last, refused to register the king's edies for reviving fome former taxes, his majesty ordered his edicts for that purpose to be brought back to him on the The Monthly Catalogue for September, 1756. the 19th ult. which they accordingly were, and on the 20th the mafter of the ceremonies came to the parliament and gave them notice, that the king would hold a bed of justice next day at 11 o'clock at Verfailles, where he commanded their attendance. The parliament could not refuse attending his majesty, but as the appointing a bed of justice at Verfailles was without precedent, they refolved that they neither could nor ought to give their opinions or advice upon any of the mat. ters that should be there propofed; fo that all that paffed next morning at this folemn ceremony was the registering of the faid edicts, which the parliament could not then oppose; but when the parlia ment met on the Monday following in their ufual place at Paris, they entered their proteft against all that had been done at the bed of justice, in prejudice of the laws of the kindom. Madrid, Aug. 30. This court has re "G 455 ceived an account of a compleat victory obtained the 11th of February, by the combined troops of Spain and Portugal, over the army of rebels of the seven Miffions of Paraguay. There is no exact account of the action as yet arrived; but what we hear in general is, that a body of 2000 rebels having advanced towards the king's army, they were fummoned to furrender, and, upon their refufal, were attacked upon a mountain, where they were beginning to intrench themselves. The action lafted an hour and a half, and the rebels left, on the field of battle, 1311 dead, 153 prifoners, eight cannon, feveral colours and standards, 8oo mares, 600 mules, and a great quantity of cattle. Our lofs was only tive men killed, and 15 wounded. From fo good a beginning, we flatter ourselves, that when the laft tranfports fent from hence, fhall be arrived, an end may be put to the rebellion.
