Very confidently and publicly reported in several coffeehouses at the west end of the town, that his Prussian Majesty was filing off a very large body of troops in appearance towards the confines of Hanover. Their destination is supposed to be against Osnaburgh: they are to be commanded, it is said, by the hereditary Prince of Brunswick; if so, one would think he would hardly commit hostilities against his brother's dominions, however chagrined he may be for his disappointment, viz. of being Generalissimo of the Hanoverian forces: Be it as it may, in fourteen days or three weeks at farthest, we may expect the mask will be taken off by all parties, and their designs no longer a mystery.
