"Perhaps you have heard from Berlin, that the Russians have decamped from Franckfort; the King marched at the same Time to Luben, at the Head of between 36 and 40,000 Men: This Motion plainly shews, that his Majesty intends to give Marshal Daun Battle. There is much Talk of an Advantage gained by Prince Henry over the Austrians, but it is not yet too late; be that as it may, we flatter ourselves that the Communication is now opened between that Prince's Forces and those under the King. The Russians have taken the Road to Poland, the only Country that can furnish them with Subsistence."
