Prague, May 21: General Haddick has taken the command of the troops lately under the orders of Gen. Gualco. These troops will soon join M. Daun. Gen. Campitelli followed the King of Prussia to Silesia with about 12,000 men. Gen. Laudohn, who retired on the King of Prussia's approach to Hauptmandorff, has entered an advantageous camp there, where he will wait to see what the enemy will undertake.

There is a very strong garrison in Glatz, well provided with all necessaries for a long siege. It is thought that the King of Prussia will not carry his arms thither, but rather that he will draw near to Lusatia.

Lower Silesia, May 24. The King of Prussia is still near Striegau, with the main body of his army, but his Majesty has detached Gen. Golz, with 14 battalions, and 21 squadrons towards Glogau, probably to watch the motions of the Russians.
