A letter from Memel mentions the following.
'The accounts which have been spread for some time, respecting the warlike preparations, particularly respecting the drawing together of large armies on the frontiers, are entirely without foundation, or at least greatly exaggerated. The whole consists of an encampment of thirty thousand to be collected in the neighbourhood of Grodno, only for the purpose of performing maneuvers in honor of the king of Prussia, who in the spring is to have an interview with the Emperor.'
