Berlin, July 8. It is reported that the king of Prussia, in his march from Saxony to Silesia, has taken or dispersed several large detachments of Austrians; and that General Laudohn, as soon as he heard of his approach, hastily quitted the camp between Freyberg and Schweidnitz, and fell back to the frontiers of Bohemia. On the other hand, we learn that our troops in Pomerania have forced the Russians to abandon all that province; and that if the orders given by Prince Henry had been properly observed, a good part of the enemy's forces under General Tottleben, would have been taken.

Magdebourg, July 8. Prince Henry was still encamped on the 30th ult. at Landsberg. It is said he will soon be reinforced by a body of 12,000 men detached from the army of the allies, and that Prince Ferdinand will keep on the defensive.
