Vienna, March 8. N. S. Count Seckendorff has been again personally examined Three Times this Week by the Commissioners, who are now to make their Report to the Council of War, and that Council will make another to the Emperor, with their Advice upon that Affair, which will then be decided by his Imperial Majesty. Sentence has been passed, and confirmed by the Emperor, against Major General Doxat, and the Officers who were with him at the Surrender of Nissa: importing, That the said Major General Doxat Moroz shall be beheaded, and all his Effects that can be found shall be confiscated, Part of which Effects are to defray two Thirds of the Charge of the Process before the Council of War, and the rest towards making good to the Imperial Treasury, the Loss of Stores of Ammunition or of Provisions at the delivering up of Nissa: That Col. Humbracht, who commanded the Imperial Regiment of Maximilian Hee, having first taken an Oath de non offendendo, shall be cashier'd with Infamy: That Lieutenant Colonel Bina, and Major Butler, of the same Regiment, shall both be cashier'd, but without Blemish to their Honour: That M. Martin, who was Captain of the Artillery at Nissa, shall be confined in Prison Three Months, his Feet and Hands iron'd. That the Captains, Lieutenants, and Ensigns of the Regiments which were at Nissa, shall all be put in Irons, some for One Month, others for Two: But all the Battalions shall be declared guiltless, and free from any Punishment. A Major Engineer and a Captain Engineer, are to be cashier'd, without Blemish to their Honour: The rest of the Officers Engineers are to be imprisoned for a Time, and fined each according to his Rank, towards defraying the other Third of the Expence occasioned by the Process. General Suckau set out from hence for Belgrade, on Monday last, with the said Sentence, and is to be present at the Execution of it; tho' there are still Some People who flatter themselves that his Imperial Majesty has charged M. Suckau with an Act of Grace for General Doxat, in Consideration of his former long and faithful Services; and there is a Report in the Town, that the Grand Dutchess of Tuscany has interceded for him. There never was a Man more generally pitied than Doxat is by every Body, and especially by all the Generals and Officers, he having been in the Imperial Service above 40 Years, with the greatest Approbation and Reputation, except in the fatal Surrender of Nissa.
