who has been lately ruffled by the Prussian General Kleist. The Imperial and Royal army have spared them some provisions, but as to arms and clothes, they are still in a bad way. Rumours say, for rumour will talk, Marshal Daun is out of humour or out of spirits; that Count Laudohn is out of luck; that Marshal Duc de Broglio has desired to be recalled; and, in short, that the Devil, called Discord, raised no doubt by some Prussian conjuror, is like to defeat all the plans of the Empire form'd in the winter at Vienna.
