April 19. By a Letter from Leipic, dated April the 6th, we are informed that on the Monday before, a Number of Saxon Grenadiers, who had Orders to separate into Parties, that they might be incorporated into the Prussian Regiments, suddenly mutinied, seized the Market Place, and began to Shout, Long live the King of Poland! This produced a great deal of Confusion, but not much Bloodshed; the Prussian Officers acted with as much Coolness as if it had been a Fire, and taking the proper Steps to invest them, and, cut off all Power of Retreat, before they began the Attack, quickly obliged them to submit, and having put a Dozen of the Ringleaders under strong Guard, divided the rest and put them off in separate parties, agreeable to their former Orders, so that in a few Hours every Thing was as quiet as if nothing had happened.
