"We have certain advice, that the King of Denmark hath been asked by England, as well as France, to interpose his good offices, in concert with the King of Spain and the States General, to accelerate the restoration of a general peace: but the last letters from Copenhagen assure us, that the King hath excused himself from meddling in it, and professes to adhere strictly to his neutrality; but that nevertheless, if the King of Prussia should receive such a severe blow, that he could scarce stand under it, the troops in Holstein, which already amount to 26,000 men, will be augmented to 30,000, and march to the assistance of that Prince, whom his Danish Majesty would not willingly see entirely crush'd by his powerful enemies."
