IN, SEP ThMBFB Translation of Prince Ferdinand', Letter to the Matquis of Gran- by. dated frorrj the Cunvent at Rhuren, Aug. 1761.

Mr Loro, I thmk it my Duty to ncquaint your Lordfhip how much I admire the valiant and brave Conduct of my Lord George Lcnox with the Piquets. and of Major VVcUh with bis Battahon of Grenadiers elfetday, in the Attack of the Polt and of Westen I beg your Lordfhip may bc pleased to djjnify to th-m my moll grateful Acknowledgmcnts, and that thesj two Gentlemen would do the same to the brave Troops, who were led on by Comroanders of such dtiiinguished Valour. I have the Honour to be, See. 1 in an Copy of the Marquis of Granby's Letter to Major Wclsh, com- manding the fitst Batulion of Biitish Grenadiers, dated Camp at Haarn, Aug. 7, 1761.

Sir, You will pereeive, by the Copy of the Letter I have the Pleasure to enclose to you, how much bis Screnc Highness admired your Behaviour and that of the firft Battalion of Grenadiers order your Command, at the Attack of the Post and Village of VVesten on the fiftb You will, therefore, ac-cording to bis Screne Highnefs's Desiie, teslify to the Troops, his extreme Approbation of their distinguifhed Bravery and Firtnncss and likewife my Thanks in the ftrongtst I am, with the greatest Regard. Cim v.n By a Letter from Saxony of the ith past, fr appears that Prince Henry ha, hitherto been so vigilant and wary, that Marshai Dann has not been able to find an Opening for any En-terprize of Conscqucnce. His Royal Highness is no VVay un-eafy about what tbe Army of the Empire may attempt. If we may trult to some Intclligcnce from the Hague, the late Actions in Silesia are more decisive than is generally appre-hended. They alTert that General Ziethen's Instructions were to drive the broken Auftrian Cavalry into the Mountains, where of Neceflity they mu(t be much embarrassed, and their Hone rendered uscless for the Remaindcr of the Campaign.

They add to this, that if his PrufTian can compel 0e Russians to retire into Pol and. or even to the Extremities of Silelia, they will be able to do nothing more this Year. A Convention is eoncluded. by the Mediation of his Britannic Majcsty, between the King of Prufli and the two Branche of Schwerin and Strelitz, of the House of Mccklemburgh by Virtue of which the Pruflians are to evacuate all that Country. Private Lcttcrs from Hamburgh advise, that nothing is to be feared from the Swedish Army, the Dissentions between the General Officers being as great as they are in the Senate.

Letters from Paris of the zist mentton, that on the preceed-tng Day a Courier arrived there from London, with an An fwer to the last Propolais made by France by which the Eng-lisli leern to be unaherable in their Demands. They write from France, that on the 141h past the Parlament of Rennes ordered the Jesuiis to deliver to their Cletk, in the Space of three Days, a Copy of their Coniuunons. The Disputes that have happened between the Jesoits and the Court of France, will at last take a political Turn, and the Confiscation of their Estatcs be appropriated towards raising the Supplies for carrying on the War. They write from Hamburgh of the zist, that they continue to iniist Men with great Diligence in the Neighbourhood of that City, particularly for the Service of Dcnmatk and con-firms ihe Hamburghers in their that they are meditating some important Design, of which Time only will inform them. The Court of France begins to fufpect the Danifh Ministry they have fent Orders to the President Ogier, their Embas-sador, to do bis utmost to difcover whether any new Engagements have been coniracted with Great Britain.

As the Apartments in St j.mics's are all repairing. it is thought the building of a new Palace is, for the present. laid aside. Andrew Baker, F.sq; a very great Merchant at Amsterdam, and perhaps the greatest in Europe, is come to see the Solcm-nity of the Coronation. As have this Week scvcral Petscns of Quality with their Ladies, and gtand Retinues, from othtt Parts of Holland, Venice and Turin, aniJ from Iteland, The Vcflcl, callcd the Folly, that lay frequently at Surry-stiirs, is f.llen duwn to Grecnwich and turned into an Alehoule; and it is that on Saiurdy, Sunday, and Monday last, the Proprietor hd taken 60 1.
