Various reports are prevalent here, which have been received from the Prussian territory. Ac .cording to some accounts, that power will join the German Confederation, and place its contingent along the whole extent of the toasts of the Baltic. Ac covcfmg to others, the negociations fot tiniting Prus,ia to the German Confederation have not succeeded, that power, now sunk to the lowest ebb, will be "obliged for went of money, to disband its troops, now 'Melted ask-ay to 20,000 men, retaining only the Royal Gnarls. .On the I:th instant, arrived at Leghorn the French corvette Ls Victorieuse, of 96 guns, and 160 men, in five days from Toulon ;- and a few hours after came in sight a small French squadron, of three frigates and a brig, under the command of Captain Ducks, .which steered for Corsica ; but on the 18th again ap peared before Leghorn. Its farther destination Was Ms known but the corvette le VictOriense must remain.at Leghorn fur the protection of the shipping. We are told, that in imitation of the French military sys. tem, the whole Austrian army will also be formed into divisions, having each its artillery, infantry, and -cavalry, Sander the command of a separate General. The following are already named as Commanders of different divis ions : —the Archdukes John, Ludovle, and Matimiliani the Princes of Lichtenstein, Schwan venburgh, and Roseiiburgh • Counts Bellegarde and Klenan; the Marquis Castelet., and General Zach.— this plan is ascribed to the Archduke Charles. His Majesty the Ettipefor, with a view of favour ing the interchange of letters between his European 'subjects, and those of the colonies, has given orders for establishing an Office, to be named the Bureau of Colonial Correspondence. The packets of letters are to be free of postage, as far as Paris ; and with the view of pfeventing disappointments by occurrences at sea, duplicates or triplicates may be sent. Letters from Marseilles of the 10th say, that two ships have arrived at Toulon from &hyena, loaded with various merchandite. The brig 'Adventure from Bane Terre Muada loupe) arrived at Rochelle on the 6th inst*; laden with coffee. The 12 Arabian horses sent Ait a present from the Grand Seignior to the Emperor * lately reached St. Cloud. They are sprang froM the most celebrated Arabian racers, AMAtEIWAM, DINE 28. Letters from Dantsig, of the 17th instant, say, that a French cutter, of eight guns and 45 men, has taken and carried into Dantzig four Konigsberg and Knyp hansen 'vessels from Gottenbingh, laden - with coals, sagO, toffee, brandy, &c ; also the American ship Rochelle, of Philadelphia, laden with rum, stigaracc. and the Dantzig ship; the Concordia, from London in ballast.

VIENNA, JUNE Is. His Imperial Highness the . Archdlike Maximilian has lately had frequent conferences with the Imperial Land Conunissieiner, Count Von Ilissingen, and with the chief authorities of the 'Circle of Austria, relative to the organization of the Army of Reserve, and of 'the Militia.

They are to A be im mediately armed, organized, and exercised for four weeks succesaivel'. - This reserve body is destined for reinforcing the standing army. But the militia, whirh is also to be organized throughout all the Imper;al States, and is to be unusually strong, is destined only for home service, and the protection of the frontiers.

There have been no fresh arrivals from Spain...— To-morrow news may come, as the Telegraph an nounced, yesterday afternoon, the arrival of some ships at Plymouth—. Report says obit of them is the Juiio cutter from Cadii. If so the surrender of the Ftendh ships in that harbour may be expected to be officially confirmed. Leiters (torn Cork of the 2d instant are in town. The expedition had not then eailed. The public are extremely anxious to hear of the sailing of this force, which there can be no doubt is to co-operate with the patriots in the LJuth of Europe, or to be employed id some diversion favourable to their interests. Sir A. Wswauxv had not left Dublin on the 2d inst. ; his horses, however, had been sent off to Cork on the pre ceding day. On Tuesday night, at a late hour, Mr. BAstuco, the-messenger, was sent off with dispatches from Mr. Secretary CANNING'S office, to 6ir ARTHUR WELLISS LIEY. The dispatches were accompanied with a great nuMber of the recent Order id Council, which is to be circulated in the several Spanish provinces with all possible etpedition. Lieutenant General the Earl of CHATHAM is ap pointed Commander in Chief of the forces destined for the succour of Spain. The following is a correct list of the corps of In• fantry ordered for immediate embarkation, viz. FROM HARIRICR.—The 2d Regiment of Foot, Ist Battalion of the 4th, 2d Battalion of the 59th, the 20th and 43d Regiment*. Fitors CRATVAM.—The 2d Brigade of the Guards.

Great and gendial anxiety prevails to learn the efrcts produced throughout the Continental States by the events that are transacting in Spain ; but it will be sonic time before any thing of the real result can be known. We are not without hope that a change of sentiment has already begun to manifest itself at Petersburgh and Vienna, but the accounts yet re ceived do not enable us to decide any thing—indeed in some particulars they are contradictory. Private letters from Memel exhibit the same pre ponderance of Ftench influence which has rut 301A0 tirte been manifest in all the Russian ports. One of these letters, of the 15th June, states, that no trade whatever is to be carried on ; that one vessel arrived before Memel with a rich cargo of goods, and the owner of the cargo, a Memel merchant, on board, but it was impossible to get them landed ; the merchant, therefore, went on shore on the coast, and sent the vessel with her cargo back to Sweden, where she has since arrived.

It is not probable, however, that exertions of so-extra ordinti7 anature would be made if the Court of Vienna had only in view arrangements known to be agree .;.able to I.soNarnaTr:. We mist that Austria will not neglect the florourilele opportunity for t - e=us &Wishing her independence, which the present crisis in the af fairs of Europe affords. All the American ships which were detained in Holland have been released, on the condition that they take on board cargoes of gin. We have received the Stockholm Gazette of the 25th ult. It announces further successes over the Russians irs Finland, and the capture from them of ninety-nine pieces of cannon. It gives us also reason to expect, that a body of 8000 Russians at Gamla Carleby, will be hemmed in and forced to sur render. The Russian Naval force is blockaded in a bay of Finland by the Swedish Admiral. We =founded yesterday that the GROWLER gun brig had brought into Plymouth the American ship Tfgeri having on board the late Minister froth Spain to the United States, with his family. The Tyger I wag allowed by the American Government to take I his Excellency to laeurdeaux. The Commander of the GROWLER infornied the Marquis of the late oc-1 currences in Spain, and solicited him to .proceedthi ther at once ; but thu surprise of the Marquis was such as to induce him to doubt some of the facts stated, and to peer a visit to England before he pro ceeded to Spain. A passport was last night for warded from the Secretary of State's office, and we understand his Excellency int:ads to pass a few weeks at Bath. The Tyger has a considerable number of passen g ers on board, also bound to Spain. The Spanish prisoners at Plymouth were assembled on Sunday evening in Mill Pi ison, and a letter from the Admiralty read to them, desiring all to be released and sent home, who were friendly to the Patriots. With one voice, they exclaimed " Long live the Riau of ENGLAND, and the Patriots Ps—They are about 1500 in number. They will sail in a day or two. Dispatches, containing copies of the late Order in Council, have been sent to Postsmouth and Plymouth, to be forwarded to all the foreign stations. Yesterday a great number of applications for ves sels to proceed to Spain without convoy were made at the Admiralty, which were, in general, ordered to be Franted. The vessels are to proceed to Spain direct. The Townsend packet, Captain Coca, is appointed to sail in a day or two for Corunna. A packet, containing most important dispatches, intended for Spanish South America, has been taken. She had been sent by O'FARELL, the late Spanish Se cretary at War, an adherent of BONAPARTE, and having sailed from Bilboa for la Vera Cruz, was intercepted by one of our cruizers. The dispatches are in Lord CASTLEREAGH'S OffiGep and having been drawn up tinder the inspection, as well as direction of Neat). LEON, contain matter of no ordinary consequerire.
