July 22. All the friends of Hanover (say our letters from the Hague) gave out, that the French would not remain on the Rhine; and that, instead of offering battle, they would not wait to be attacked. Nevertheless we find, that M. de Condades, tho' a Lieutenant General only, takes upon him to march forward with an army, which, especially in Infantry, is not near so considerable as is imagined. This clearly proves, that he has received express orders to make a great shew of doing something. They want, no doubt, to remove the court of Vienna's just grounds of complaint. The Austrian Ministers already cry out, The French have deceived our poor masters; but they will soon have enough upon their hands. The Count de Broglio is also sent from the French army on the Rhine to Paris. He is known to be a zealous Anti-Prussian, and is therefore pitched upon to go to Vienna, to persuade the Empress Queen of the sincerity of the French Court's intention to exert their utmost efforts in her favour.

The Empress Queen, in notifying to the War-office at Vienna the late revolution of affairs in Moravia, concluded with these words: "All will be well, provided we continue to humble ourselves before God."
