General Suckow is set out for Belgrade, by Order of the Council of War at Vienna, to see the Sentence executed upon General Doxat, and the Officers concerned in the Surrender of Nis. In pursuance of this Sentence, the Commission Officers of that Garrison are broke with Infamy, the Captains without Infamy, and with Hopes of being re-established; but they are all ordered to be present at the General's Execution. 'Tis remarkable that the above-mentioned General Suckow had not been gone long, but he was followed by an Express from the Council of War, who some think carries with him some Mitigation of their Sentence. The Charges of this Process rise to 20,000 Florins, and must be paid by the Criminals.
