HE allied army, under the command of his ferene highness prince Ferdinand of Brunswick, affembled on the 9th of this month at their different pofts of rendezvous on the Dymel, the Rhume, and in Sauerland; and prince Ferdinand went the fame day to Geismar, where lieut. gen. Gilfac had marched with the corps under his command. The next day the troops halted, and the difpofitions for the motion of the whole were communicated to the generals.---On the 11th the army marched off in four columns by way of Warbourg, Liebanau, Sielen, and Dringelbourg, and advanced towards Cassel, on the fide of Weft Uffeln. Each column was preceded by a vanguard, compofed of the piquets, which were formed into battalions and fquadrons, for fecuring the head of their cantonments; that under lieut. gen. Gilfac was pushed on as far as Halle. The hereditary prince marched by the road of Stadbergen for Mengeringhaufen; and lieut. gen. Breidenbach went from Brilon to Sand: Cuftleberg he took 100 prifoners; Gebal Sporken, with Kilmenfegg's and Wangenheim's corps united, was advanced by the way of Dundarstadt and Heiligenftadft, as far as Dingelftadt, where be arrived on the roth; fince which time there have been no accounts from him. The army begun again its march, on the 12th, in the fame order as they had done the day before, and arrived in the neighbourhood of Zierenberg. Lieut. gen. Gilfac marched to Deurenburg; and the vanguards, or piquets of the four columns, being rejoined and augmented with fome cavalry, the marquis of Granby was ap. pointed to command that corps, and fixed it at Ehlen; from whence he fent detachments to the Cascade, and to Weisenstein. The hereditary prince cantoned his corps about Zeuschen; and receiving advice that the garrison of Fritzlar was not prepared for an attack, he went thither with a few battalions, in hopes of being able to carry that place at once. He attacked it with great spirit; but the enemy defended it refoletely, and taking all advantages their fituation afforded them, the hereditary prince thought it adviseable to desist from the attempt, and to wait for the arrival of fome cannon to reduce it. Lieut. gen. Briedenbach marched to Munchaufen. February 1761. On the 13th 'the army cantoned in the neghbourhood of Niedenstein. The corps under the Marquis of Granby marched to Kirchberg and Metze. That of Lieutenant General Gilfac remained in their former pofition. The Hereditary Prince cantoned his troops about Hademar, not far from Fritzlar. Lieutenant General Breidenbach took poffeffion of a magazine of 40000 rations at Rofenthal, and advanced towards Marpurg. The attempt he made upon the town, did not fucceed, the enemy being upon their guard. He himself was even killed in the attack, and the lofs of that excellent general is much lamented. On the 14th the army halted, and the Hereditary Prince detached Major General Zaftrow to Feltzberg, and ordered a part of the cavalry to pafs the Eder. An attempt was made to intimidate the garrison of Fritzlar, by firing some cannon shot, but to no purpofe. In the mean while, my Lord Granby made fome motions towards Gaderberg, the garrifon of which, confifting of 200 men, retired into the old castle there; and in the village, when entered, were found some provision and forage. On the 15th in the morning, fome bombs having been thrown into the town of Fritzlar, Col. De Narbonne offered to capitulate, if the most honourable terms were allowed him. Anfwer was returned him, that fuch should be granted him, in confideration of his brave defence, upon condition however, that the garrifon should not ferve during the prefent campaign; and that the battalions of Waldeck and Wildungen, should be included in the capitulation. The Commandant having refufed to subscribe to that condition, a brisk cannonade was begun again, and continued for half an hour, after which the terms were accepted. The fame afternoon the enemy attacked the post of Gentzunger, near Feltzberg, but was repulsed with the lofs of two officers, and twenty-foldiers. A magazine was found at Fritzlar, but the ftrength of the garrison is not at prefent afcertained. We have farther accounts, that Guderfberg had surrendered to the Marquis of Granby. And, by advices received from General Sporcken, dated the 15th inftant, at Thomas-fpruck, upon the Un Strut, Arut, between Mulhausen and Eyfenach, we learn, that he, in conjunction with the Pruffians, had attacked the Saxons in thofe parts, and that, befides cutting great numbers of them to pieces, he had taken five Saxon battalions prisoners of war. Nothing of confequence has been transacted, by the armies in Saxony. The king of Pruffia, according to the last advices, remained at Leipfick. DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE. ༄,, ྃ་ THURSDAY, Jan. 29.
