GEORGIA GAZETTE. Number. 3. EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE. Mos cove t No vember 8. BWO of the officer* concerned in the plot against the Empress were this morning degraded, declared infamous, and their swords broke over their heads. Nov, 15. It is said the old ficld-mar ftial Munich is going into Germany, charged with a private commiflion for restoring peace by the interposition of her Imperial Majesty. Mofcrwt Dee. 2. The young Countess of Schoglokow, maid of honour to the Empress, was married a few days since to Major-General de Rafewlen. This lady was niece, ala mode de Bretagne t to the late Empress Elizabeth. Her Imperial Majesty not only .assisted at the nuptial ceremony, which was celebrated in the court, but made the bridegroom A present of 70,000 roubles. Ratijhon , December A party of Pruflian huflars arrived the 3d inst. within cannon mot of this city, but retired next day. Dec, 7. The city of Kitzingen has already paid 20,000 florins to the Prussians, and the imperial cities of Winlhem and Rothenburg are each to furnim 100,000 crow'ns. Dee. 9. They continue raiflng contributions in the coun ties of Wurtzbourg and Eiftadt, and since they left Nurem bourg, they extended to Dillingen and Guntzbourg in Swabia. Yesterday they were near Ulm, and another de tachment was marching by Gottingen towards Heildborn. At Nurembourg they made Gen. Klcift a present of 1000 ducats, for the good difeipline he obfened in that city. He infilled on their remaining hereafter neuter; a neutrality has alfb been proposed to Anfpach, Barcith, and Wurtz bourg. Besides tne contributions, cannon, and military stores, already mentioned, Gen. Klcift was supplied at Nurembourg with 10,000 pair of (hoes and 6000 pair of boots. He carried away with him 18 waggon loads of mo ney, and bills of exchange to the amount of 20,000 crowns. Since the return of Count Daun to Vienna, great de putes have arisen as to theobjed of the next campaign. He is said to propose a&ing only on the defenflve, which the other minillers disapprove, as they arc persuaded nothing but offenfive measures can terminate the war to the fatisfac tion of theJEmprefs. Avery gfeat alteration is soon expeded in the fyftcm of affairs in the empirfc of Germany; all the circles, and allies of the house of Austria exclaim bitterly against the court of Vienna, for entering into a suspension of arms with the King of Pruflia during the winter, without including them, by which the Prussians, by extravagant contributions, have ruined a great number of their inhabitants, and may be the means of making their countries the feat of war; they are therefore determined to solicit the King of Pruflia for a neutrality. In Franconia Gen. Klcift has taken the fortiefs of For cheim in the bilhoprick of Wurtzbourg, and dill pulhes on his operations in that country, railing large contributions. All the neighbouring Hates are greatly alarmed, not only account of the heavy contributions levied by the King V) fPniflia, but also by the uncertainty of his deflgns, ana the uncommon mysteriousness he observes in his conduct. Several of the mod eminent merchants at Lcipfick had been arreted ty h* 3 officers, and their warchoufes, counting noufes, &c. sealed up till the contributions should be paid. It has been resolved by several ministers at the diet at Katifhon, to a(lc the Brandenbourg minister for an aflurance in writing for the fecuruy of their persons, and it was fig nihcd to the French aunillcr, that the threats of the PiutfU THU RSDAY, April 2i, 1763. ans constituted the case in which France's guaranty of the treaty of Westphalia might bcjuftly claimed. He nas pro miled to lay the affair before his court, but whatever may be concluded there upon it, any afliftancc from thatquarttr would come too late. I he Duke ofWurtcmberg has feat several officer* into Franconia, to know the number of Pruflian troops there, and has himfelf taken the field with 12,000 men, with which he has drawn a chain all along the frontiers of his dominions to prevent the Pruflians from invading his dut chy. The Saxons under Prince Xavcrius of Poland were too inconiiderable to face the Prussians in Franconia, and it was thought they would meet with no oppofuion, unlcfs it was front Bohemia. Lubick , Dee. 7. The Duke of Mecklenbourg hearing that the King of Pruflia was determined to fend several bat talions and squadrons to winter in his dominions, hath sent a memorial to the Britilh court, letting forth the diftrefsfal llate of his country, and pruning his Britannick Majesty to interpose his good offices with the King of Pruflia to alter his purpofeof feuding troops into that dutchy. A regiment of miners is raising in the mountains of Sax ony for the service of the King of Prussia. From all the mo tions of this monarch, it is conjedlutvd that though pence is like to take place between England and France, yet wsr will be kindled with other powers that may be more fatal and general than the prefem. Hauau , Dec. 21. Yelterday two Hanoverian regiment-, that have waited eight days at Windeck for the marching out of the French garrilon, took pofleflion of this place. The Princess of Heflif is ftiortly expefted here from Zell, this city being appointed for the rcftdencc of her KoyAl Highncfs. Liegt, Dec. 24. Several letters inform us, that a Urge body of Pruflians are on their march to take pofleffion of Wcfcl, Gucldres, and the country of Clcves. Thiscorp* will be reinforced by the greatcll part of the British legion, and several other bodies of light troops, which have been difeharged from the allied army, and which it is said are gone into the service of the King of Pruflia. Mean while it is thought the approach of these Prussians will be looked upon with an evil eye by the republick of Holland, where an uneasiness is already visible; but no body dares open their mouths about it. From Ilruflels we arc informed, that every meafurc is taking in that country to oppofc the enterprises of the Prussians. And to be beforehand with them, ordcis have been sent from Vienna to inlift all the men that are diichargcd from the troops of France, but that they are apprehenfivc all these steps will prove too late. Vienna t Dec. 23. The French made fome pacilick overtures concerted between his court and that of England; but we hnow not yet whether they arc of a na nature to merit the attention of our autjull sovereign. In the mean time it is certain, that if the King of Pruflia cannot be brought to make fomc fucrificc, the war must flill conti nue. The county of Glatz is in our power, and we are at the eve of hearing that our troops have taken pone Aim of the dutchy of Cloves and the other quarter of (iuefdrt .
