Not only all Appearances are against Peace, but it is even impossible to make one, if we may rely on the Opinion of very judicious Politicians: To be convinced of this, let us attend to these two Questions. -- Will England and our King ever consent to leave the Kingdom of Prussia in the Hands of the Empress of Russia? And yet it is this fine Portion of our Dominions that the High Chancellor Woronzoff demands in the Name of his Sovereign. Who shall indemnify Saxony as is required, for near three Millions of Crowns? Our Enemies rate the Losses of the Saxon Subjects at this. This is the Gordian Knot, which some Writers have endeavoured to untie, but do it in a very bungling Manner.
