We have Advice from very good Hands, that the King of Poland, Elector of Saxony, is going to furnish another Body of 20,000 Men to the Queen of Hungary, which with a more considerable Number of Hungarian Insurgents, will make an Invasion into Silesia. Her Majesty, in return for the great Services she has receiv'd from his Polish Majesty, will cede to him certain Districts in Moravia. Nevertheless, many People doubt whether the Queen will cede any Part of her hereditary Countries to the House of Saxony, because it is much more probable, that he had rather see that House indemnified at the Expense of the King of Prussia; and as for the Invasion of Silesia, Seeing the Austrians and Saxons are actually going into Winter Quarters, it will be time enough to think of it next Spring.
