LONDON, October 7. We hear that a new treaty has been lately concluded between the Empress of Germany and Empress of Russia, in conjunction with France, in order for the more effectually crushing the King of Prussia. But to frustrate their ambitious and revengeful schemes, preparations are now making with the utmost expedition for the greatest and most important expedition that ever went out. It is said it will consist of all the land forces and men of war that can possibly be spared out of the kingdom, under the command of Lord Ligonier. The following six regiments have already received orders to be in readiness for embarkation, viz. Lord Beauclerk's, Lord Panmure's, Lord Loudon's, Lord Effingham's, Lord Robert Manners's, Crauford's light infantry, and Burgoyne's light Dragoons. And yesterday (Sunday) a fine train of brass artillery, consisting of 22 pieces of ordnance, of 20 and 24 pounders on new carriages, each drawn by eleven horses, with trappings and harness, and guarded by a company of matrosses from Woolwich, went from the Tower to Portsmouth. A great number of small brass cannon, of 6 and 8 pounders, followed the train: and the number of draught horses were 352. A great number of spare carriages, and other materials, went with the train, to be ready in case any accident may happen on the road by breaking down the carriages, &c.
