tro THE EDITOR OF THE sr-4R. Sit —I feel obliged by your inferting the few lines I fent you lad seek, and am hardy enough to again requeft a fimilar indulgence ; regretting, however, that my pen is not more deferving of your kindnefs. I obferve that the Weekly Paper I before alluded to,bas again been molt diffule and elaborate in refpelt to Military Rank being withheld from an Individual. The fame writer was requefled Come time ago to give infection to a Letter refpcBing Rank being withheld from Officers in Veteran Battalions, and lie Wilb en treated to give them his affillance in dating the cafe of thole meritorious Officers ; but it would appear that the argionsaiurn ad rest was wanting ; for, unfortunittely, neither of thole Officers were ever in polliflion of either a Regiment nr a Government ; but without the aid of the celebrated pen of that eminent writer, ( which, upon moll occalions, makes the work appear the better caufe), I fancy it may eafily be proved, that the Cervices and fears of the Officers of the Veteran Battalions hare been as extenfive and honourable, as thole of any Honourable Gentleman whatever.—l am not however an advocate for the withholding of rank, which, from meld Officers, is a merefure of late adop tion, and, certainly, does no credit to the advice: s of it, for, I am well aware, the idea could not generate in a Royal Break ; on the contrary, I have heard an old Brevet Officer of one of thole Battalions, repeatedly Bate, that a General Officer, high upon the Staff, and defervedly in the confidence cf the Commander in Chief, told him, that it was the intention to place the Royal Veteran Battalions on a more relpeflable foot ing ; and, lam confident, it mull be fo, for the ats. minion, benevolence, and humanity, of hi* Royal Highnefs, Rands confpicuous ; nor do I believe the army ever had a Commander in Chief, who is fo uni venially and defervedly beloved, by hoth Officers and men. And, when it is confidered that an Officer is placed in a Veteran Battalion Crum misfortune, or from great length of lervices, and that he neither re ceives additional pay beyond that of his rank, nor any em'lumcnt whatever, from ferving in thole cot ps, it will &fit/redly appear fevere. to have the feather of Sank torn from his brow, when tottering on the hrink of the grave. A WI LOAN. !VEST INDIES. EARBADOES, JULY ss. His Majelly's (hip Alexander, Hon. E. D.

By the Agamemnon, juft arrived from Admiral Cochrane's fouadron, we learn that they were left on the 17th inilant, off Antigua, on their return here. It appears alfo, that the enemy's rquadron was join ed on the 7th ioflant by another line of battle (hip, making their force fuperior by three, to ours in view of them the preceding day.

(Signed) GLNLIIAL WILL/W/111LS," FRANCE. PARIS, SEPTEMBER I. The aflonithing preparations going on in Frani' mull naturally obtrude themfelves upon the obterver, It is alf., Paid that they have attracted the notice of Government—and as there has been nothing of the kind ever fence the days of Frederick the Great, Go. vernment found itfelf compelled to demand a cate• gorical anfwer of the King of Pi uffia, as to the ob i jeft of all thefe preparations. The anfwer, as it is reported was, " that thefe preparations were merely defenlive; his Pruffian Majefly had no hoftile views againa any power." How the negociatinns between us and England will terminate remains an enigma. Much has been Paid of points in difpute between cur Government and the Court of Vienna, and often not without foundation ; hut at prefent the bell under (landing pollible fubfilts, and it is ;alerted that the Principality of Fulda is to be ceded to the A:chduka Ferdinand, the prefrnt Elettor of Wurtzbnrghoss am indemnification for his poffellions in the Ortenau and! the Brifgau. Our Government has alfo declared to the Court of Vienna, that it is by no means their in. tention to abolifh the dignity of Grand Matter of the Teutonic Order ; it willies, on the contrary, that the Archduke Anthony Ihould MI that office, promiflng at the fame time, that he Ihould retain his prat (inns in Snabia and elfewherc, betides the foveteigoty of feveral fmall principalities in Franconia.

(By the way or Francs.) • " Letters from Berlin, which mention nothing po• fitively relative to the Anal Itate of politics between Ruflia and Pruflia,•confinn, in the mean time, the news that the Prufflan troops will very &only be concentrated at feareral points, and form different encampments. Three, in partir#lar, are fpoken of, viz. one in Weßphalia, to be formed of the troops in the Circle ; the fecond at Cafrel, between Gotten. gen and Cartel ; and the third, at Halle, upon the Saxon frorAier. There camps , ate to form an army of Obfervation, of which the troops of Wettphalia will form the right wing, the corps near Mundell the centre, and thole of Halle the left wing. " The ulterior deflinatioti of there corps remains a ferret, neither is it known who are to be the Com mandants of theta troops." A UOJJS 36. (By way or France.) That Negotiations between Pruflia and Sweden have recommenced is confirmed. Some propotitions on the pan of Rutha are ado fpokeri of, in conle quence of which all the obflacles to a goed under- Banding will probably be removed. The military preparations of the Pinfilan Cabinet have not yet ceafed ; but we are convinced that there, have no relation either to war or peace, as theirfole objeCt is the new pothiEons and mention of territory. I On this head we can quote a private letter from Ber -1 lin, in which the wiiirr expre ff es himtelf thus : 1 Prutha teems to feel the inevitable, necellity of drawing clofer the bands oF union by which The is conflated with the North of Germany. AS it is the objett of the Ptuffiaci Cabinet (which every thing tends to confirm) to fupport, or rather extend its in. fluence over the neighbouring States, there is an unavoidable neceflity fur giving effett to its meafures —this alone fan enfure the Hine of them. The fen timents of thole perfons who look upon there prepa rations as connetted with the Northern Confederation of which the King of Pitiffia may become the head, are well founded, and probably thofe only are flip ported by fat : but nothing is In tidiculous as to fall in with the ideas of fome Englith politicians, in fop. puling that theft preparations of Praia are intended againft France. On the contrary, it is politively known, that the bell undertlanding (instills between both Powers. The cordiality with which the Feat, of St. Napoleon was celebrated at Berlin, by M. la Fn. relt, and the principal part of the Pruflian M .

DUTCH PAPERS, To the dare of Mondey left, have been received.— They mention the magnitude of the preparations of Profile, in accounts from Frankfort, but probably of Parifian manufalture. The object of it is to imprefs an opinion, that there preparations cannot be aimed .againft Fiance, and that the two Governments are upon the bell terms partible with each other. It is, however, admitted in the Paris intelligence of the rQ inflant, that the preparations have attracted the attention of the French Government, which has made a categorical demand of explanation as to the (Nee of them. The anfwer is raid to have been, !" that they were for defenrive purpofes." It the hof. l tile appearances between France and Profile have already induced any explanations of this nature, the grand cries cannot be very &Rant.

Had be made the demand, his troops would have been ready to enforce an MIT. Aver.

Notwithdanding the 'Gain's in ere leforitntr, that the Auftrian prifoners were on their march home ward., it does not appeal, by the accounts (rem Suabia and Baverie, that any orders to that dice had been received or acted upon.
