The more easily to intercept the convoys that the King of Prussia brings up from Dresden to his army, General Nádasdy detached from his corps a regiment of hussars, another of dragoons, and several Croats; he has posted these troops at Stolpen. We can immediately perceive the effect that this movement has produced; the Prussian convoys are now obliged to make a detour through Radeberg.

Some Austrian hussars have carried off three mules, belonging to General von Wied, from right in front of the Prussian camp.

Forage started to arrive from Silesia today. We still await the first monetary contributions from that country.

Prince Camille de Lorraine, a kinsman of His Royal Highness Prince Charles and Marechal de Camp in the service of France, came to see the Austrian army; he is staying for several weeks.
