Notwithstanding, it is remarkable that a great General, who very probably will command the Troops that may oppose these Auxiliaries, expressed himself on that Subject in the following Terms: We have to fear in the Russians, an East Wind Flight of Locusts that will perish in Heaps, under the Effects of a tedious Emigration, and the Smell of Gunpowder in a hot Summer. Their Destruction is, however, not more certain than the Destruction they bring with them to the miserable Egypt they are about to plague.
The Queen-Mother is so much indisposed with an Asthma, that her Life is thought in Danger.
