By thi, time, therefore, an sOion has probably taken place, and the war of blows fairly commenced. CH IRITSTON, SEPT. so.

The Vera Cruz Chip st Lich was lately captured by the Britilh off the Havannoh, had on board, at the time of her capture, soo.ooo dollars, the property of individuals ; 250,000 dollars, belonging to the King, had been landed.

Betides the accounts from Haroburgh, which we yea erday laid before our Readers, a number of pri vate leleis of the fame date have reached town, brought by a veifel arrived in the River, and which left hamburg,' on Sunday 14f1. The rumours in Hamburg,' were various and contradilnry. On one hand it was 'fretted, that the gimps under the Prince of Ilroisauntri, and the Dukes of %A . IIMAR and BauhswlClC Oats, had not fucceeded in their attempt to reach the Oder, by penetrating between Berlin and Stettin, but that they had been re v olted and compelled to retire tows' Js Pomerania. On the contrary, it vs as as c mentioned, that they eticOed the charge of ti.e Oder at Schewdt, alter fume in:ffedtatl cppu6t:4l hog) a FotlilJsratok cos ps of French, which they compelled to fall hick. The Profllan troops, which withdrew horn the Eiec- Write of Hanover, were proceeding by rapid Iliatches towards the frontiers of Swedifh Pomera nia, where it was reported they would be joined by the army which had been colleded fur the defence of that province. At Halle, the French fent away all the ftuden:s ; giving thofe who had no money, a crown a piece to carry them home. At Jena, however, the Profeffors of the Holm fity have Wonted their lettures. The French, on arriving at Leipfic, affeaed to laugh at the accounts in the Journals of their fuppofed de feats ; and the Leiplic Paper is now obliged to pub lifh an authtniic account of the French fucceffes. We &mild be furprifed to find the Hamburgh Papers In barren of intelligence refpeeing the opera tions and events of the war, were we not informed in one of the Dutch Journals, that Borhiracr a has canted it to be notified to the Government of that town, that the lets that was Paid or written there on the fubjeft of Politics the better. This certainly is not the moment at which they would choofe to brave his difpleafure ; nor can we, in circumflances like the prefenr, reproach them with timidity irt yielding obedience to the mandate. All Tenets bound to Hamburg's will flop and un load at Glucklladr, which is about ay Englifh miles from Hamburgh, in the Danifh territory, to prevent the chance of feizure at Hamburgh, the neutrality of which place is no longer confidered as certain. Our Readers have already been informed of the report current on the Continent, that the;Marqnis Luem ism had been tent to the French head quar ters to hie for peace. The Weft accounts !late, that I l when his arrival and the objea of his miffion were announced to BONAPAItTII, his infwer was—" Emperor Aalioleott bums no inch terfon as the ing of syfid." How pregnant is this reply with the fate of Pruffia, if the tyrant prevails ! how explanatory of all the confequences that French threats have fo long denounced, and the fears of the Continent have fo long portended ! The Government of the Ptuffian Provinces in Well ,phalia has iffued a Proclamation to the inhabitants, in confequence of the expelled entrance of the French troops. The inhabitants are directed to behive with quietnefs and propriety, and to continue their occss. pations, in cafe of the territory being taken poffeffinn of by the enemy. The. Members of the Civil and Military Chamber-of the Weflphalian Department, declare their determination to remain for the pur f rofe of preferving order, arc. All Magifliates and Pub lic Officers are required to remain at their ports. 11 is declared to the States and all the inhabitants, that , it is expelled of them that they will meet the events of the war with firmnefs, and that they will not be led nto error or milcondult by the burdens which it mull occafion. His Pruffian Majeßy gives affurapce, that as in wars heretofore glorioutly condulled, all that who may fuller through any honile invation (hall after wards enje,y every polEble alleviatiott of their loft, A caution is given againtl the influx of worthlefs per tons from neiAhbouring province., who, with the vim of profiting in the midll of the confufion, or from other bale motives, might promote ditturbances and infurrations, and take the opportunity of the entrance of foreign troops, to plunder. It is therefore hoped fmns all the inhabitants, who refpett their own tranquillity, and their property, or who have the good of their country at heart, that they sill keep a watchful eye on perfons of this defcription, and point them out to the Magillrates. It is °braved, that from the former condur2 of the French military, confidence may he entertained that every kind of plunder and ddlruttion of property will to powerfully reprefed by I them. The Proclamation is ligned by the Members of the Royal Pr uflian Civil and Military Chambers. • HAMBUROH, NOV. I. " The venerable Duke of 131tUllIWICIL has been at Altona fince Tnefday hill.
