(Signed) FREDERICK WILLIASI. o:arlottenburgh, Sept. 7, 1805. If this formidable force is to be affembled merely I the purp fe of fecutint to a (mall circle of Ger army the advantages of neutrality, his Prufflan Ma jelly may well deferve to be conidered as one of tile chief protedors of that Con ( iitution, which BONAPAP.TE has been fo intent upon undermining. —lie lies invited Denmark; and the Eledors of Saxony and Heffe, to arm and join in the league.— Having given filch intelligible intimations of his deter mination, it is probable that the 17,000 French, who are collccled in the Gottingen country, will not force a ffige through the States of the Eledor of Heffe, as they were fuppofed to have intended. The Alliance of protedion from the Court of Berlin to that Hate, which was on the point of being inflated and devour ed by the legions of D)Naraart, has already had the died of reiloring Mr. Tart:le, the Englifh En.; soy, to the exercife of his Illations at the Electoral Court. We can conceive that thefe occafional inter ferences, on the part of Praia, mull be extremely mortifying to BON•PARTs. What becomes of his avow ed determination of excluding the Miniflers of Great Britain from the Continent, if be is to be thus met and difconcerted, at every turn, by the magnanimous interpofition of his Frill:flan Majelly ? General KALK aiurn, who fettled the terms for the evacuation of the French territories, in the campaign of ninety two, by the Pruffian troops, and who is at prefent Governor of Dantzic, has received notice to prepare for let vice. Strong expe&ations were entertained at Hanover, that a corps of Pruffian troops would thortly occupy that Eledorate. it was neverthelets reported, that a confider Ale number of French troops were coming thither from Holland. Hanover was lint to furnifh goo holies and Soo,ooo francs. Private letters from Berlin (late, " That M. Du ane propnfed to the King of Proflia to fend auxiliary troops to the affiliate: of the French ; and that the application was peremptorily refufed: that his Ma. jelly has given orders for 7o,s•oo of his troops to oc cupy Va iii,ver, and that he is determined to remain neural, if poffible ; but if he fhould be preffed, or : . );.:ied to take a part in the war, he would join the X!its againft BotiAPAR.TE." Tntt:iiigence of the commetcement of hankies in ft:.ly may be daily expefted. It was fuppofed that *IA Au:trian army would crols the Adige thortly af •;- the arrival of the Archduke CusaLls to affume tl.: command of it. Dvsne continued at Berlin fo late as the t3th irr itant. This intelligence is communicated in a letter from a Gentleman at Hamburgh, to a reipeflable merchant in the city, in which he alto Rates, " That he had jnfi arrived from Berlin, after palling through the Elclorate of Hanover, in which not a tingle Frer.ch foldier was to be feen. He alto afierts it, as a pcfiLive fael, itat ten thoufand Ruffianshad landed at Stralfund." A leter from Amfterdam, of the 18th ;ohm, ad drciftd to a molt refpedable hot& in the City, that an exprefs had juft arrived from Park, v.•ith feveral letters from the merchants there, which, :ht.. writer expreffes Wadi, C$ takes away the let hcpes (.1 price." The C r untinentaT War is con• fidered inevitable, and, under this appreheafion, large purchafes have been made in that country, of fuch articles of merchandize as were molt lik:ly to be affected by the event. The following setters were received by the Lifbon Mail of yederday : " OPORTO, AUGUST 30. " For tome days pail a ftout lugger, in 'company with two or three Spanifh row-boats, have been eruizing about the Bar and Coaft, ard have flopped and plundered feveral neutral vaiels.-- The coact i. now unprtteeted, and we may eaped that very few veffels will efcape them, particularly thole elpeded from New foundland." " LISBON, SLPT. 7. " The greateft tllftrefs prevails at Cadiz from Wain of provi bons, mullioned by the arrival of the fleets. Should they be con fined there by the blockade of the Englith, the unfortunate inhabi tants will experience, before the end of the year, all the horrors of ft - trvation. This dreadful calamity is already anticipated. The Officers of Juftice have regiftered all the private 11 ,, req fur a great diftance roond ; and the penalty of death is enadtcd againft an perform wbo than 4e found to fecrete their Rock." Letters from Cadiz, of a Rill !Ater dale, confirm the above intelligence, and mention that grain has confiderably advanced if. price fince the Fi erich ar rived. Letters frotn Madrid, of the 28th ult. prove the mifery which the unfortunate Spani•uds endure, ow• ing to their alliance with France. l'ayment in fpecie is flopped, and the merchants are unable to honour their bills when they become. due. The pa per termed Dinero, which has been alw:tys co nt, delid as calls, is now at three per cent. diicouilt. Letters which we have this day received from C;•• braltar enable us to announce that Sir Rocrfti CAL nest's fleet has aduallT joined that under the cern mud of Admiral Coutimcsivoon. The enemy are thus blockaded in Cadiz by aßritilh force of z 6 fhips of the line, and in a fhort time it is very probable we Mall he able to announce that Admiral Lord NELSON has arrived there with an additio7.al force. His Lordfltip's million to that quarter can hardly be thought to he merely for the purpofe of blockading the enemy. It is probable that a vigorous etempt will be made to ddflroy them in the harbour of Ca diz ; and we have arong reafon to believe that Sir SYDNEY Slat ra, who is to have the command of fume fire-(hips, is dellined for the fame fervice. FRENCH AND DUTCH JOURNALS. The former to the 18th, and the latter to the izd infant, have arrived. They bring no accounts of actual hottilities haling yet commenced on the Con tinent ; but, from the rapidity of the movements among the troops belonging to the different Powers, the period in all probability is not very di.lant. We have given ample extrads from thefe Journals, as alfo farther e:;traas from the Hamburgh Mails, in the preceding columns. • Sir SIDNEY SMITa attended yetlerchtv afternoon at Lord CASTL ER FA:1114 9 :1 Office, in Downin, , 11 feet; from thence he went t' the Ildmiral.tv, and had an inter- view, at fix o'clock in the evening, with Lord Batt. HAM, and received his inftruilZions, prcparatoty to leaving town yeflerday. To.day no Court of Aldermen being held, the Lord Mayor, after infpeainp, the Returns of the Meal Weighers, ordered the pit: of Bread to re main as before. His Royal Highnefs the Prince of WALES has been pleated to appoint Mr. THOMAS I.vxmooar, of St. Mary Axe, to be one of his Royal Highnefs's Sur- i geons Extraordinary. Mr. KFINDLE refumed his favourite part of 01la ' vian, in Vic Mountaineers, laft night, at Covent-garden Theatre, with his ufual fuccefs. THEATRE, DRURY Las a.—A large audience was drawn together on Saturday night at this Theatre, to m itnefs the performance of Mr. STEPHEN KEM3LE in Fejltilf in the Tragedy of Henry the Fourth ; a part which he might be laid to cnmpletely fill, if mere animal bulk were to he eonfrdered as its only re. quifite ; but the FaUlnif of SHAKESPEAR, to be well fupported, (lands in need of other //fit/ere/to than a (hart crutch. Mr. K. however, it mull be ad mitted, conceives fame parts of the charater with tolerable accuracy, but fails in the execution of the pielnre, even its the extent of his own conceptions; there were, notwithilanding, thole prefent who ap plauded, and that loudly, but we are prrfitaded they never raw the facetious Knight perfonatcd by HENDERSON ; and if they compared their favou• rite with fume other ..tors now on the (Lige, it was prejudice only that induced them to give him the pre• ference. ELLISTON was very refpeetable in Hoifpur ; but we cannot add as much of Mr. H. &novas's Prince of Wales, and therefore we (ball not lay any more on the fubjett r . A moil dreadful tumult took place at the Theatre of Berwick upon Tweed, on an evening lately, jolt before the Yount; Roscrus came forward in the character of ircSmct. A cry of Fire was echoed through the houle, when infiantty groans, fcreams, and fluieks built forth from every quarter. The cracking of timber in the gallery was Wert heard, and the dread cf tire was augmented by the idea of the fall of the gallery, for loon a voice cried ~ the gallery is falling." To efcape was impoffible ; yet all initin tive!! prelted towards the doors, which were initan:ly choaked by the crowd. Thole next the stage milted upon it, and others gained it by the af fiftance of their companions. In vain were the an. dience told that their fears were unfounded, for the cry of " the gallery;is falling," was (till kept up The continued crashing of timber, and cry of 0 Firer" rung through the !mule, and every feeling was elec trified with horror ; until a number of gentlemen (housed nut " All's fate," and in a then tame after wards the general fear was removed. At this mo- I ment Mr. BETTY appeared, and the play was per formed without Luber intertuption. NAU?JCi)L INTELLIGENCE. MAILS THIS DAY.-lAind N. N.W. DUL Alt, DOt.

The Duke of Gloucefter's, however, went down and returned house in caravans. They had alfo a breakfaft and an excellent dinner prepared for them at the Green Mart, at the edge of the Heath. This was done out of the fund belonging to the Corps, and the cars were found to be particn lady ufefol coming home, as the rain had made ill* roads fo deep that it was extremely uncomfortable to a large body of men who were obliged to Winch in the middle of the read.

It is not precifely known when the Rosso p ro . mired by the Bank Direetors will be given to the Rock - holders, but it is certain that as early as Monday next, dr& who have courted the fmiles of Fortune by the purchafe of Tickets or Shares in the prefent Lottery, will receive a difiribution of her favours, and that fome mutt fpeedily hive the enormous intereft of one hundred ibotiand per cent. an the money they have expended, there being there Prizes of mooed. three of io,oool. and a valt number of other capitals. A few days ago, at a village near Derby, a fire broke oat in a cottage, in which were three chil dren, who, we are forty to Rate, were burnt to death. They were incautioufly left alone, and, it is imagined, when the fire began, had ran up Rains for fafety, and locked theasfelves in a mom. Sunday night, between nine and ten o'clock, $ man genteely dreffed, forced hi s way i n t o a hordein King -beet, St. James's, as the maid was entering the door on her return from the neighbourhood. lie diretntd his courfe to the kitchen; but the alarm being given by the maid-fervant, who feized him by the coat, and attempted to fecure him, he efcaped from the honk, after violently extricating himfelf from her hold. He was followed acrofs the fquare, as far as Jermyn-greet ;but, from the darkoefs of the night, eluded his purfuers. On fearching the bottle afterwards, it was found that none of the plate was miffing. On Saturday morning, kilt as the Portfmonth waggon was going to fet oft from the Talbot inn, in the Borough, the waggoner went to hang a bucket at the tail of the vehicle with a lighted candle in his hand. The blaze of the candle communicated to fome firaw in the waggon, and in a lhort time the flames extended to the tilt and other parts of the waggon. ft was then deemed moR prudent to haw; the waggon removed from the yard, to fare the ad joining buildings. The hocks being yoked in, the waggon was drawn out to Sr. Margaret's-hill; but. before affillance could be procured, the whole of the property intended to be conveyed to Portftnouth was on fire. It was entirely deftroyed in fpite of every effort to lave ir, and it is Paid to have been worth upwards of Soot. On Saturday night, about tee o'clock, a fire broke out at No. 4, Weft-greet, Seven Dials. The engines loon ambled ; but, while fome were play ing in front, the wall fell outwards, and the men narrowly efcaped being buried in the ruins. The fire continued to burn in fpite of every exertion un til near three in the morning The adjoining honks were very materially damaged, but none were com pletely deftroyed. The houfe was kept by a Mrs. Robnett, who had a childbed warehoufe in it. She was in the houfe about nine o'clock, but was not ken afterwards. On Wednefday night a fire was difcovered in the apartments of Col. Cbeller, of the Herts Militia, et 'phyla, in which were four of his infant children. On one of the neighbours haftening up hits, he taw the maid running about the room in a (late of dif traElion, with two of the children under her arms. He lucceeded in refcuing them from their perilous lituatinn, and extinguithed the fire, but not bane the window ea/tains were dearoyed, and other parts of the mum confithrably damaged.
