566. FOREIGN AFFAIRS, 1757. The Ruffian army being retired out of every part of Pruffia, but Memel, and be. ing moftly gone into winter quarters, the Prufhan general Lehwald, has, with 16,000 men, begun his march for Pomerania, and was to be at Marienwerder, near the Viftula, by the 9th instant; and as the Swedes expected this upon the retreat of the Ruffans, they are preparing to fend a large reinforcement to their army in Pomerania; where they are preparing for, but have not yet undertaken the fiege of Stettin. The French army under marshal Richlieu were preparing to have gone into winter quarters, but upon the news of the total defeat of the combined army, they are again all in motion, and a large detachment is ordered to advance as far as Duderstadt, to favour the retreat of that part of the combined army which was under the prince de Soubife, who is with the remains thereof already arrived in the county of Hohenflein, and confequently feems to be moving towards Halberstadt, which fhews the precipitancy of their retreat, for they are now near 60 miles from the field of battle. Some English men of war we are told, arrived the 11th inft. at Stade, with provifions for the Hanoverian troops, who are preparing to go into the winter quarters affigned them by the late convention; but our laft advices infinuate, as if the army of obfervation were to affemble again, and that they were already actually in motion. We have the following extraordinary article from Berlin, Nov. 5. It is with the utmoft furprize, that we read in feveral of the foreign papers, a letter pretended to be wrote by the king our fovereign, to his Britannick majetty, concerning the late convention; and we can with great truth affure the publick, that piece is entirely falfe and furreptitious, no fuch letter having been ever wrote, or fo much as thought of by the king of Pruffia. And from Stockholm, O. 13. we have another equally extraordinary, as follows: The king having been lately defired by the Landgrave of Heffe-Caffel to employ his good offices with the court of France, to obtain a more favourable treatment for his dominions, than they have met with hither. to. His majesty, by the advice of the fenate, has thought proper to refufe complying with this requeft, alledging, that as the crown of Sweden was one of the principal guarantees of the treaty of Weftphalia, it would be highly improper to take fuch a step in favour of a prince, who had not only broke the laws and conftitutions of the empire in refufing to furnish his contingent, but had even affifted with his troops a power known to be its declared enemy. Thus the guarantee of the treaty of Weftphalia by France and Sweden, which at that time was fo much follicited by the proteftant princes of Germany, is now made a pretence for their undoing. Vienna Nov. 5, The aulic council of the empire has juft iffued a decree against the Landgrave of Heffe-Caffel, on account of his conduct in the prefent conjun&ture of affairs. The 30th ult. the marquifs of Grimal di, the Spanish ambassador at the Hague, fet out from thence on his return to Spain; and it is fince faid, that he is gone to be fecretary of fate upon a change in the administration in that kingdom. tetetebetet The MONTHLY CATALOGUE, for November, 1757. 1. 2.

Rome and Greece two diftant ages gave, Cæfar the fage, and Ammon's fon the brave; And cede to Germany the jufter claim; I To the AUTHOR, &c. AM an inhabitant of the county of Norfolk; a county esteemed by far the greateft corn county, for its bignefs, in the king. dom; but this year, by the exceffive heats in the fummer, the rains coming late, our fummer corns, that isto fay, barley, oats, &c. are not half a crop; and the time drawing near when thofe two very ufeful acts (for the prohibiting the exportation and stoping the diftillery) will expire, I think it calls aloud to every perfon in the kingdom to reprefent to their members the immediate continuing of fuch laws on their first meeting. But fo little do the merchants expect thofe laws to be continued, that, in our County, fhips are actually freighted, and beginning to load corn, which the day the act expires, they can demand to be cleared at the custom-houfe for exportation. This, with the diftillery working again, which I am informed from very good authority they are preparing to do, must enhance the price of grain of all forts to an excettive price. The aft which prohibits the making of corn fpirits expires December 11. Wheat is worth now in our markets 46s. Barley 245, per quarter; and, if no timely provifions be made, you may depend upon feeing in one month, wheat 60s. and barley 30s. I am, Yours, &c. AMICUS. PRICES.
