The lnfs Curtained by the Proprietors of the Read inz, Rooms is very conliderable, for they not only la:: their curlorners, but abfolutely lofe their mot cy which they have paid in advance in fub- Iceihing for the Englilh papers. Such an arbitrary proceeding requires no comment. But the Yastkviiisusavers care very little about that or any other aft of defpotifm.

OF PRUSSIA. Bawls, Atm. 5. —The Royal Family and the &Ate have experienced a moll painful lofs by the leach of his Royal Highnefs Prince FREDERIC HENRY LEWIS of Pruffia, Great Uncle of the King, General of Infantry, Colonel of a Regi- ment of Foot, Knight of the Order of the Black Eagle, Provoft of Magdebourg, &c. &c. who de parted this life at five o'clock in the afternoon of the day before yefierday, at his country palace at Reinlberg, aged 76 years, and nearly eight months. But the heroic deeds of the deeeafed have infured immortality to his name. The Prince was born in 1726, on the 18th of January, a day which has been folernnized during a century as the anniver fary of the Pruffian Kingdom. He made his firft campaign in his 16th year, accompanying the Royal army as a Colonel, in 1742, into Moravia, and being loon after prefent at the vklory of Chotufilz. In the (even years war, where he com manded the fecond army, he diainguiffied himfelf in a manner which procured him the unqualified approbation of his great Brother, the bkffings of the Prams dominions, and the admiration of all Europe. What is fo univerfally known needs only be hinted at. In the war concerning the Bavarian fucceflion, he again commanded the fecond army, and penetrated from Saxony into Bohemia. In 1776 he travelled to Stockholm, and thence to Peteriburg, whence he returned to Berlin with the Great Duke (afterwards Emperor) Pavi. In 1780 he went to Spa, where he had a conference with the Emperor Josue, and he afterwards vi fited France. Wherever he went he gained the love and admiration of all who had the bappinefs to know him ; for his chara+fter was not only en nobled and exalted by warlike virtues and political penetration, but refined by mifcellaneous know ledge of every kind, by a taße for fcience and the fine arts ; and the Hero, dreaded in the field, was admired in the fociety of genius and learning as the moll polifhed and cheerful companion. His brilliant Court was an affemblage of noble and ingenious perfons, both from abroad and at home. He was a great connoiffenr in mufic, and had an admirable band of muficians for his chapel, and an excellent company of French comedians. He bellowed much talk and magnificence in embel lifhing prefented to him by his brother after the peace of Hubertfberg. This romantic (nuation favoured the happiea improvements, and the monuments he has crated in the gardens to the memory of many of his deferring contemporaries, are the faireft monuments of his own feeling heart. FREDERICK the Great faid of him, that he had not committed a fingle fault through the whole (even years war. Prince flyway was married to her Serene Highnefs the Princefs WlLN,Loftict, daughter of MAXIMILIAN, Landgrave of He& Carel, and the marriage was confummated at Charlottenberg, June 25, 1752. As an honour to his memory, the King has ordered tl}at all of ficers !hall wear a crape on their arm for a fort night. The Court is alfo gone into mourning for the fame time.

REINSIIRO, Auousv B.—On the sth inn. at five o'clock in the afternoon, the body of the never to be forgotten Prince Hwy, after having been firfi openly expofed to view, in the fimple uniform of his Regiment, was laid in the Sepulchre, which he as a Fitz° and i'Sage, long familiar with death, caufed to be built for himfelf two years ago, and purpofely in fuch a manner, that it was in the full view of the windows of his fitting room. It is in the form of a truncated Pyramid. The coffin, or. namentcd with a Laurel Crown wove 'bY his be loved niece, the Prineefs Louisa, was carried by twelve Valets-de-Chambre. It was followed, betides his 'whole houfehold, by his nephews, the Princes Lrwts and At/Gums, fans of his Royal Highuefs Prince FiIIiDINAIIO, the firtl of whom hatthaftened to be mica is the dreadful hour which robbed us of our noble Prince, and was a deeply moved witnefs of his affeeing de ceafe. The great:lel% of our lofs is not to be ex• prefred in words. The grief is as univerfal as was the affable goodacfs and the benevolent humanity of the great dcceafed. As long as he remained with us he was our benefaaor, our father. The ncceflitous lifted up their eyes to him—the unhap py approached him with confidence. He gave the poor man the neceffaries, the fir( comforts of life : but with equal wifilont and gentlenefs he led him and his children to inattftry. He caufcd flax and wool to be diltributed to the poor who were yet able to work, and they were paid for the yarn they produced. Other poor perfons, particularly children, aitembled in a fchool of induftry for the purpofe, were employed in knitting Itockings and other articles of apparel out of the yarn, which were given to the needy whom' age or ficknefs dif qualified for work. Every year two peafant girls were portioned out with too dollars, and the wed ding expences defrayed by the Prince. Great in deed is the amount of the good that he publiekly performed : howrnuch may he nothave withdrawn from the approbation of pofterity. fatisfied with the talent teftimony of his own heart ! The whole funeral was fimple, without ftrew or pomp ; but fo much the deeper was the impreffion it made.— All was done according to direEtions in his own hand writing. The above Epitaph, which he com pofed in January lari year, will be carved upon a large (tone which clofes up the entry of the Pyra midal Sepulchre. LONDON. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST ss.

Lail Wednefday all the Libraries, Saw and Cabiatt Lithrafret were vifited, and the owners forbidden any more to receive or allow the Englifh Newfpapers to be read in their houfes under pain of imprifonment. This cer tainly is not the &keit way of Conducing political controverfy. After throwing down the gauntlet, the FillbT Consul. should have allowed " a clear Rage and no favour." It is not unufual in certain quarters of this metropolis for an able-bodied dif. putant to vent his own indignation in words, and then attempt to knock down his antagonifl. We admit all the good intention of fuch an enemy to reit with the Parifian Prete& of Police, but he only difplays an impotent malice. It is natural, indeed, that the French Govern meat °sould be difpleafell with the liberty of dif cuffion that is exercifed in this country, and that BONAPARTE should be ansious to deprive his Cub jet% of the auxiliary freedom which yet remains in England. That England yet is fife from the power of the EMPEROR of the Gains, is undnubt edly a biding to us, to France, to the world in general. It is not enough for the Kings, the Confuls, and the Riders of the World, to fet themfelves together againik junice, agd Igainft liberty—if there is a place where the yoke of liberty (hall be heard, and from whence the, voice of complaint may be communicated. Even by fuch humble infiruments their wicked genius is rebuked. They mull dread the force of inquiry and of truth ; but they cannot fupprefs what they dread. This morning a Mail arrived frr►m Hamburo, and one from Holland. which have brought (eve ral articles of intelligence. Of the war between Ruffia and Perfia we have as yet obtained no farther information, than that the new regent of the latter, Bass Kam, has col • leaed a confiderable body of troops, in order to meet the Ruffian army, which has penetrated from the corner of Allracan, through Derbent, to the Perfian province of Ghilan. The circemnance which gave occafion to thefe hofiiiities is, that all the Ruffian fubjeas refident in the States of the Paid Regent were driven from their pofreffions, ender a pretence that Raffia anted unjuftly in taking under its prOtettion the provinces of Georgia and Min grelia. It is apprehended that this difpute will be attended with a great deal of bloodfbed. In deed, according to the French Journals, received yeflerday, there has' already been an aftion, in which the Perfians were beaten. Braun, Atiourr 4.—The prefent Turkifh Chargé d'Affaires leaves this Court, and his poll will be filled by his firft Dragoman.
