The following Advices were brought by the Captains Jacobson from London, and Noldrid and Baker from Bristol, who arrived at Boston last Week.

HAGUE, (in Holland) Sept. 27.

By an Express from Berlin, we have just received an Account, that, on the 13th Instant, the Russian Army made a precipitate Retreat out of Prussia, which was executed in so hasty a Manner, that they left all their Sick and Wounded behind them, to the Amount of 15 or 16000 Men, and 80 Pieces of Cannon, &c. Marshal Apraxin made his Design, by advancing all his Irregulars towards the Prussian Army, so that Marshal Lehwald was not informed of it, 'till the third Day, when he detained Prince George of Holstein, with 10,000 Horse to pursue them, but with little Hopes of coming up with them, as they made forced Marches, in order to be the sooner in their own Country. The Cause of this extraordinary Event is not yet known. M. Lehwald was said to be marching to Pomerania. By our Account from Germany, the French, under the Prince of Soubize, flee before the King of Prussia. Those which Marshal Richelieu seem to move much slower. Since the Arrival of Prince Ferdinand of Brunswick in the Duchy of Halberstadt, with a Corps of Troops, who has defeated the Van Guard of the French near Egeln, consisting of 1000 Men. The French seem to keep to Harz Mountains instead of following the Plain, which may retard and embarrass them considerably; and it seems very uncertain, whether and how the Junction of their Army can be made. The French continue to extort Forage and Contributions from all the Countries they go through in the most exorbitant Manner, and, of late, their Demands have risen considerably. One very melancholy Circumstance attending their Abode in Lower Saxony is, that they have not left Corn enough to the Farmers to sow their Winter Grain, which may create a more violent Calamity hereafter.
