The Austrians find themselves extremely embarrassed by being obliged to keep an Army of Observation on the Frontiers of Bohemia, towards the Circle of the Mountains, and another Army of Observation to prevent the Prussians making an Irruption from Silesia.
In the Opinion therefore of some very sensible People, it is not at all impossible that they may be obliged to abandon Dresden; and some say this is already executed, and that only two Saxon Battalions are left in that City.
