PETERSBURGH, April 23.

The 13th Inst. a Courier was dispatched to Vienna with the Plan of Operations for this Campaign, in which we shall employ 80,000 regular Troops, and 12,000 Irregulars, with 450 Pieces of Cannon. This Army may act with so much the more Confidence, as there is no Danger of its Provisions and warlike Stores being intercepted by an English Squadron; for by Virtue of a Treaty just concluded between our Court and Sweden and Denmark, these three Powers combine to keep all foreign Fleets out of the Baltick. -- A very good Reason why a British Squadron is not sent thither.
