Leipsick, Nov. 14. Notwithstanding the considerable Reinforcements which have joined the Army of Marshal Daun from Silesia, we have not hitherto learned that this General (if we except the Attack of the Posts of Nosen, Hirschfield and Roswein) has done any Thing against the Troops of Prince Henry, which remain quiet in their Camp near Meissen. As for the Army of the Empire, which may perhaps actually amount to between 30 and 40,000 Men, Part of it continues still partly posted behind the Elster, and partly behind the Saala. The Corps under the Orders of General Lozinsky, which marched some Time since into the County of Mansfeld, in Order to levy Contributions there, is retired from thence, and come to take up its Quarters of Cantonment in the District of Merseburg.
