London,. . . July 6. By the last letters from Vienna we
learn, that on the 18th of June a solemn Te Deum was sung,
in presence of their Imperial Majesties, it being the
anniversary of the victory gained by Marshal Daun over the
Prussians in 1757.---We cannot but acknowledge the Austrians
have reason to commemorate that day, as it set at liberty
above 40,000 men blocked up in Prague; who, for want of
provisions, could not have held out three days longer: and
besides, a victory over the Prussians was then a rarity.
