HAMBURG. March 3.
On the 31st ult. Count Struensee had his third Examination. We are assured that the Questions to be put to him are in Number six Hundred and thirty, and that in his three Examinations he had not given Answers to above two Hundred. The same Day his Horses, together with those of Count Brandt (which are mostly English Ones, and excellent in their Kind) were sold by Auction. This gives Reason to think that the Fate of these two Noblemen is fixed, and there are some who say that an Ecclesiastick had been admitted to visit the latter.
ALTONA, March 6. The English Courier who passed through this City lately for London was accompanied by the Sieur Holberg, a Courier from the Danish Cabinet. The Mercury of this Place, dated February 20th, says: "We pass by our Advices from Copenhagen, as very uncertain, Time, however, must discover what is going forward."
