Alteration in Silesia Forces New Peace Proposals
London dispatch notes a major repositioning of Prussian and Austrian forces in Silesia after lengthy efforts to gain the province. Cossacks maraud, villages are plundered, and the two armies fail to agree on which should attack. Russians may operate on the Lower Oder, with potential effects on Glogau and Berlin. Butterlin and Beck offered peace preliminaries but were rejected by the King of Prussia.
