Nothing has yet tranfpired refpcaing the contents of the difpatches brought hither by Couriers from LOCI. don and Peternsurgh : we can lodge of their impor tance only by the frequent journeys of Count Hap-n. writ to Potfdam ' where he has private conferences with his mailer. We are allured, that the Korn will remain firmly attached to the Aria neutrality he has refolved to obferve ; but this neutrality even cannot' fail to increafe the aaivity of our Cabinet. RepreCentations, it is laid, have been made at Paris, tefpeaing the treafure of Hanover, in the hands of the Duke of Macxsa BOURG, claimed by France. It is added. that the Court has rejeaed tLe propofal of a more intimate emulation with England, pro. poled by Mr. Jackson, the Bridal Envoy. The Prutnan commerce by the Wefer and the Elbe is entirely fufpended t—but that by the Ems and the Oder has greatly Menaced. The negotiations car ried on with the Eleaor of Bavaria for the exchange of certain States in the circle of Franconia are en tirely terminated. SPAIN. a-4Di z, Nov. 23.—The left letters from Madrid af fert, that no doubt is entertained at Court that the Bikini Government will acquiefce in the arrange ments made by our Sovereign with the Cabinet of the Thuilleries, and will continue to acknowledge the neutrality of this kingdom:—this hope has been che rifted with the snore confidence, as the Englifb hi therto have not ceafed to treat the Spanifb ti.dg as that of a friendly power. and to give to our com merce proofs of their pacific intentions. Rill!, Dec. t6.—Since the conferences, fuels as thole at which Count Maaxorc, the Ruffian Mit:Hier, was prefent, a report has been again circulated, that the Ft sr Comm. will immediately join the Army of England, mil that the gratsd expedition will fpeedily take place. Nothing is more natural than this report, and yet nothing more uncertain. As Coon as a pro bable motive for the Fier,. Coss° l.'s remaining in the capital has difaeared, the public mutt believe that the prdenee of Bo AAAAA TB is inspesioufly re quired on the colas. Every thing is conftaotly ready to receive him, and relay horfes are always waiting at every pa@ to convey him thither. Betides confi derable forces, Come hundred thoufands of men af fembled on the coafts, the chief command of which he his announced he will take upon himfelf, are ready to embark in boats, without number. The prefent feafon is no doubt the ma tempeftuous, and ma dangerous to navigation, but it is alfo moR pro. per for the execution of the enterprife meditated againa Great Britain. We ma, however, fufpend our cutiofity, and wait with patience for the refult, and confine our attention to the extraordinary move mein of the preparatory difpotitions thefe are im paling.

It gives us much plcaftne to announce, and our Readers mull be rejoiced to he:.r, that dock hopes have not been difappointed. Our letters, received this morning, Raze the arrival of rive of the prizes at Deal. They were taken by the IMMOILTALITE fri. gate, and the ARCHER gun-brig, and turn out to be tranfports, and other (mall craft bound from hme eaflern port to Boulogne, laden with guns for the gun-boats fitting out there, or, pet haps, for (ogle of the batteries in the neighbourhood, and with tim ber for finifhing the equipment of fume of their (mall craft. Thefe prizes appear to have been fitted up for the purpofc of tranfporting cavalry, and fume of them had thirty filldiers on board. We may cape& to hear of fame more of them being captured, as the IMMtIRTALITF and the ARCHIA were M chace of feveral others, when there were fent for the Downs. Report rays, the whole of the enemy's fleet col:riled of from fifty to fixty fail, and that from twenty to thirty have actually been taken. It is probable, how ever, that this is an exaggeration, though we arc lure, from the fpecimen we have already had of the zeal, bravery, and intrepidity of the Commanders and crews of the (hips on this fertiee, that nothing within the reach of human power to effect would be left undone.

Report Cam their number was nearly 6o fail bound to Boulogne.— They attacked them infiantly with great bravery, and if we might depend on rumour, I Mould inform you they had firceeeded in taking about one half of the fleet. Thole, however, who are acquainted with maritime matters, fay it is hardly poffilde to conceive they fhould hare been able to capture quite fo many, when it it confidered that they would endeavour to. efcape in every diret'lion. We know, however, that they have fucceeded in taking feveral of them, for five of the prizes have already arrived in the Downs, and both the frigate and gun boat were in putfuit of fame others. Thofe which have arrived area galliot. a dagger, a lugger, and two gun boats. One of the prizes Is loaded with pipes of holland', intended to have been employed to infuriate the invaders atdhe time of their intended attempt.

At ten o'clock this morning, owing to a thick (now, we are not able to fee any difiance from the chore whether any more are coming in. Our brave tars keep fo good a look out, that they take or deftroy the enemy's boats whenever they venture out a little way from the more, and leave us flame lads no work to do.

To the above letters we have to add, that a tier fenger arrived this morning at the Secretary of State's Office, with fome particulate refpeeing the aetion.
