BOSTON, November 30.

By a vessel from Newfoundland we have advice that about 11 days ago a vessel arrived there in 6 weeks from England, the master of which reported that the King of Prussia had obtained a victory over Marshal Laudohn; and that Prince Ferdinand had given M. Broglio a severe drubbing; and that there were a great many lives lost on all sides. But whether these actions have happened since the junction of the Austrian and Russian armies, and since the passage was open for the French to march into Hanover (which were the last accounts we have had) it cannot at present be determined.
