London, July 12.
The Brussels papers contain important intelligence from Hanover and the Elbe. It seems that the French are determined to cross that river, which the Hanoverians seem as determined to oppose. The ostensible object for the advance of the French army across the Elbe, is to disarm the Hanoverian army, in fulfilment of the treaty of Sublingen; but we presume they must have more important objects in view, as they meditate the crossing at three different places. The next accounts from that quarter will be interesting.
