• back immediately t others, having dircharged half their cargoes, were compelled to fail back with the remainder, by way of ballafl. However, before Ix o'clock yellerday morning, they were all gone, to the number of upwards of ninety fail. Many Dutch veffels followed the example, junly apprehending that the Englifli will renew the block ade of the Elbe. The Ruffian and Swedifh veffiel. are eve/led to follow. Nothing official being pub• liffied, a thoufand reports were fpread, the one more alarming for Hamburgh than the other. It was not till yetterday afternoon that Count Schulenberg's de claration was received here from Hanover (for "WA fee for Paper ofTborfday.) This declaration has excited here oniverfal indig. nation; or rather, it has railed to the higheft pitch the indignation already infpired by the weak and Muffling policy of Proffia. It is prefumed hers that nothing lets than a feizure of all Pruffian flips by the Englifh will be the confequence. The carrying into effea a meafure fo detrimental, nay ruinous to Prof- I la, is a proof equally of the abjea dependance on France to which her Life policy has reduced her, and of the refolotion of Bonaparte to (lick at nothing to ruin te commerce of England. A miler meafure has, there is every reafon to foppofe, been propofed to Denmark, and thesofwer is hourly expeaed. In the mean time, the Danes are } putting their troops in Holilein in order to march ; and many believe that we mall have them here.— A thoufand reports are in circulation ; it was even Paid that Prince Louis, brother to the King of Pruffia, and feventy officers, were put under erre& for having fpoken too freely. This is not authenticated ; but h teems probable that tome officers have been put in urea, for having, contrary to a lute parole order, fpoken on political fubjeas ; it (cams likewife to be pretty certain, that the windows of Count Hangwitz have been broken by fame of the military ; the army in general is indubitably much difcontented. The King himfelf is raid to languifh under a depreffion of fpirits bordering on profound melancholy; and Count Hardenberg is Paid to have twice atked leave to refign. Certain it is. that the objea of the Doke of Brunt wick's vifit to St. Peteriburg has totally failed. His Imperial Majelly received him with great marks of regard 'and expreffions of fatisfaetion at feting him, but declared he did not with to enter on the fubje&s of politics with him. Betides Prince Murat, who is now in poffieffion of Cleves and Berg, and who will moll probably re ceive an addition to his territories with the Eleaoral title, there is goodreafon to fuppofe, that it is intend se.to snake two other new Eleaors, to be nominated Jonaparte. ^ i/Lvart 4.—A Report is forced here to-day, that Prtifsa has declared war againft Sweden. We expee to hear every day, that Franckfort is to be given to the Mater of Baden. Prince Lewis of PruMa, it teems, has really been put under arreft in his own bottle, bat is again fet at liberty. The Ruitan and Swedifts flips have left the har bour. The Englith have dropped down to Cusbr yen, and the goods they had on board are daily brought up in lighters. We have yet no infortna• tion what Denmark will do. The King of Sweden is probably by this time at Stralfund. DUTCH JOURNALS. We have this day received Dutch papers to the 9th inflect, from which we have feleaed the following, being the only articles worthy of any notice : LARGE tie MOCRLIIIIBURCI, MARCH 3o.—Three brigades of the Swedith army are colleeted at Lange, and are about to march for Pomerania in two co lumns. His Majetly the King of Sweden commands the firft column in perfon, the second is commanded by Lieutenant General Baron ARDIFILDT: Befvre his Majefty left Ratzenburg, he gave the inhabitants the molt pofitive affurances of his firm at tachment to his alliance with the King of Great Britain, and ftrongly recommended their continuance is the fame fentiments. Assyrians/4, APRIL I.—Our funds flill continue declining : to day they fell again. According to all accounts, it_feems that France has made prqPofals of peace to England, but nothing further is known. The Britifh Cabinet had held two Councils upon the firbjeft of there propofals, which were made by M. Talleyrand to Mr. Fox, and alto through Baron Jacobi, the Pruffian Mini(ler...— Report alfo (fates, that an Englifh Ambaffador is on his way to Paris, but this wants confirmation. The whole fum required fur our fupplies for the prefent year, amounts to 77,285,845 guilders. }LOUR, APRIL I.—Two divifiona of our troops, belonging to the army of Germany, are arrived on the confines of Holland. The third arrived yeiler day at Cleves, and the whole are on their march to their refpedive gartifons. We exped here 2000 men of the garrilon of Hameln, who are to remain here until further orders. APRIL 6.—Their High Mightineffes Dill continue their fittings, which will lan until Tuefday next.

His Highnefs labours daily in the adminidration of the Govetnment, and has publicly declared, I (hall (train every nerve to make my country happy, and if I cannot accomplifh it, I hope you will blame my want of power, and not my want of inclination." Againfl the occupation of Ellin, Elton, and Wer den by the French, the Pruffian Comm;ftary has not only protelled, but his Excellency Lieutenant Gene ral Blucher has alto nrdcted a confiderable number of troops to march forward, for the purpofe of again occupying (heti countries. The grenadier battalion of Hal'mon, for inilance, marched into Vim; after having ordered the French troops to evacuate that, place and neighbourhood. The latter, however, had received orders not to yield the point, fo that the troops of both counts ies pliers the place at the fame time. This conform° will happen every where elfe, tittles the two Courts come to a alecifion on the fubjed. The French troops are every where in motion, for the purpofe of entirely leaving Germany. It is (aid, that not only Franckfort, but alto Harts burgh, Lubeck, and Bremen, are to be taken under the protedion of France, for which each of there places is to furnilh a yearly contribution to the French Empire. WEST INDIA FLEET. The outward bound Wei India fleet was getting under weigh from Cork on the 4th infant. EAST INDIAMEN.
