We flatter ourfaves here, that this report is unfounded, becaufe Berlin would lofe fo much if it lhould be realized.— Hitherto, the march of a great number of troops has thrown conlidet able fum: of money into circulation, and rendered the effells of the war lefs felt. When, however, the paftage of troops fhall have ceafed, and if Berlin thauld lofe the Court and the principal col. lieges of Government, all the branches of induttry, and the means of exiflence will be eninguithed._ Avaricious people, and patticularly Jews, take all 1. - napinable pains to circulate a report, that the bon: du trifor will ceafe to circulate. There perfons have no other chit& Than to ceafe the price of the btu to fall as low as pr fable, in order that they may purchafe them, convinced as they are that after the return of the King to Berlin the kw du sr?for will refume their former price, particularly as ante will not be a great quantity in circulation. EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER PROM MEMEL 4 4 Prufflan Oberland and Ermeland have, since the commencement of the prefent year, been defolated by the fucceffive marches of the bade armies, to a degree of wloch modern pillory affirds no similar in flame. In the whole difiria of Profflan Eylau and Ortelfberg, as far as the Strom (with the exception Of a few places filuated on the Nogat and the Haft) the inhabitants have 101 l all their property. All the provifions have been confumed by ft iends and foes, and the money paid by the former, will indemnify only for a very fmall part of the damage. iverthfty has even ocelliontd the demo.'ition Y . the Peafants' Cottages, in order to employ the wretched materials of which they were conttrufted—thefiraurfor litter and the wood for fuel. Ave,* the wood work of the ploughs has been taken for this uf•. I'he ravages committed by the enemy have not been occasioned by unavoidable neceffity, nor even directed by any advantage they themfelves c 'old derive therefrom. The feroci•sus foldiers teemed to /rave been even more delighted by the defpair and lyruntilefs mifery, into which they plunged the inof• fenfive inhabitants, than by the wretched plunder they could make amongft them. The meaneft anti• tics of cloathing have been feized upon; (loves and windows fyilematically delroyed ; the medicines which were found in the apothecaries fhops, wan t( niy (piled and tviled. All the goods in the (hops that could n t b: carried away, have been rendered ulelefs. Againft this inhuman conduct both the orders and rensontirances of humane Commanders (among whom Ma rffial Bernadotte merits particular attention) have alike proved ineffeCtital. I tipeak here only of thole fufferings and loges for which lone indemnification may be olvained from the inter pofition 31 the benevolent, not of thole which arc tl.e moll oppre(flve. The p►efent advancing of the Allied armies (this was written in March laft), makes the feventh time that this once hap* country, inhabited by an indultrious and contented population, has been afflifted by the march of troops through it ; and all the humane endeavours of the Commander in Chief, General Bennigfen, his vigilant attention - 1n difcipline, and the patient frugality of the brave Ruf fian filchers, will be inefficient to prevent us from being involved in the moll dreadful calamities. This excels of mifery and dilirefs cannot be relieved by the benevolent affittance of the inhabitants of thole dif trias, which have remained exempt from the inroads of the enemy, and from difafters like thote which we have experienced ; for they are at the fame time under a lacred obligation in alleviate the (offerings of thole bet oes who have fpilled their blond for our preferva lion. We are, therefore, compelled to appeal to the humanity of foreign countries; and hop that Eng , land will not refute to ;mod her humane Mid gene. row affittaoce to as." AMSTERDAM, AUGUST it.

Yetterday was a day of anxiety and alarm with us: the Englifheninitter,conful,are. refident inHolfiein, all left Altona with the greaten celerity and fecrecy, at about fix in the morning. So fudden a departure could not but awaken all our fears, and thefe were increafed in the afternoon, by the unufual delay of the Danifh poll, which did not arrive till many hours , after the ufual time. The molt important news that this poll brought will be in the Papers of this morning. It confitis of little befides the a(furance that the Prince Royal has fucceeded in reaching Copenhagen in fatety, concer ning whom great anxiety had been felt here ; and that though the Engliflt force had augmented itfelf, and completely environed the Ifland of Zealand, and extended itfelf acrofs the Sound, yet no manifetta lion of hofiility had taken place. On the other hand, every preparation was making for the defence of the country; and the private letters which arrived breathe no defponding or much alarmed fpirit. Whatever danger is to be immediately (cared from this advance of the Englilb, at any rate, we have little hope that the Danith provinces of Ger many will longer enjoy their: envied repofe. As friends to AIR the Danifh Court, if the boldly rata England, or as enemies to punilh her for yielding— in one or other of thefe charafters, there is little doubt that very loon French troops will enter Hot, Rein. In the mean while, Hambnrgh is bufy preparing for the grand fete to be given this evening by the Minifier Bourienne, in honour of the Emperor, his matter. This day is to be diftinguiflied by a furpen tion of the liege of Stralfund: P. S. The Minikes courier is not arrived, and no more letters will be taken to England. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON.

PORTSMOUTH, AUG. u. The homeward bound Jamaica fleet, under convoy of his Majefty's (hips ELIIPMANT and CUBA, are ar rived off the Ifle of Wiet. Paffengers were landed this morning from the two headmoft (hips, the Lord Forbes and the Lady Francis, who report that the flee► of Eaft Indiamen, Ste. loft from St. Helena, are about so leagues a•flern. The Mail which arrived yefferday from Tonningen, is probably the tail from that place, until the differ ences with Denmark Wall be adjuited. An order was yeiterday given by Government to the Foil Office, for no more letters to be forwarded for the prefent to Tonningen; and that comunieations (halt in future be made via . Gottenburg. A notice was this morning affixed at the General Poff Office, intimating that the letters had arrived from Tonningen which should have come by yeller day's Mail, and they were this day diftributed an ' cordingly. The Agent to the Engin Poll Office at Tonnin. gen arrived in England by the lalt packet, as did Mr. THoarrow and the Confuls from Altona, all of whom have reached London. The King of Danwrtaz had been removed into Jutland. It appears that the outward bound Mails of the 4th and 7th irritant, had been feized by the Dante Oil their arrival at Tonningen; the difpatches were taken out, but the letters had been regularly forwarded. A confiderable number of paffengers arrived from the Continent by the fame conveyance, one of whom related on Change yefterday, that he had read a French gaper of a recent date at Alton', in which it was Rated; that MitltAT was to be appointed King of Switzerland, and that the Grand Duke CONSTAN- T! ea was to be created King of Greece. In a Pottferipi to a letter from Tonningen of the tyth, a report is mentioned of the Danes having if• fued a proclamation of war againit England. _ _ The Peirce Regent of Denmark, it kerns, was obliged to have recnurfe to feral m, to get from Kid to the ifland of Zealand.

DAM pelted intelligence has led many perf9nt to infer tha t a rupture with that power is arcmgly apprehended. We have been favoured with the following extra& of a letter from Copenhagen.

I would not trouble you with this except with a view of, in tome sedure, removing the folicitude you waft fed for what is perm& here. Know then that the Mend is completely encircled by the Drift fleet, and tMtillyefterday the Danith Mlalftry were ignorant of the motives of their appearance or deigns. However, it up. pears, that Mr. Jackfon prefented hinsfelf at Kiel, on Thirstily, to our Prince Royal, who referred him to the Mini ter Coorit Bernitorff, who was then there. What paffod is not yet known. but yefterday all were alarmed by the activity of hoftile peepers. tiona, and this day we were furprifed by the pretence of the Prince in perfon, which gives new fpring to the feelings, as well as the operations of the people of all ranks and deferiptioss.
