FORTRESS OF PEITZ. The poor Fortress of Peitz was taken again; do readers remember it, "on the day of Zorndorf," last year? He was captor of Berlin in 1757, did the Inroad on Berlin that year, and produced Rossbach shortly after. Peitz, if he did Peitz, was Haddick's last success in the world.
Only carry out Frederick William's order, summon the commandants of the forts here to Berlin, and demand of them their oath of allegiance to the Elector. This they will refuse. All, with the exception of Burgsdorf of Küstrin and Trotha of Peitz, will declare that they have already given in their oath to the Emperor, and can not conscientiously take any other.
