Jan. 12. The Affairs of Europe being at a Crisis, next to the Conduct of Great Britain, the Attention of the Public is fixed in a very particular Manner on the Court of Prussia; a Reign begun with such happy Auspices, has raised suitable Expectations, and 'tis presumed the ensuing Summer will produce some glorious Event from that Quarter: And as by his Majesty's last Exploit he proved superior Numbers are no Match for true Fortitude, conducted by superior Wisdom, So it is ardently wished, by all Friends to Liberty, that he may defeat and humble the proud Tyrant of the Earth, and set the Nations free.
