August 7. It is said that our court has received a letter written by the present Empress of Russia, in which she declares, that she will inviolably keep all the treaties subsisting between Russia and Great Britain, and grant any advantages that are consistent with the interest of both nations. And we are also told that she says, that notwithstanding the Russian troops are ordered to separate themselves from the army of the King of Prussia, yet nevertheless she will not act offensively against that Monarch.

Notwithstanding the above is asserted to be true, there are some who say, that the Russians have seized the principal cities in Prussia, and that they live at discretion throughout the country.
