LONDON: TUVILSDAT, MAY 0 2 1.813. --New— Paris Papers to the Ist instant arrived late last te...ht, but they contain no article worth transcribing, except that BOIVIPARTE set out from Mayence (Mentz) on Saturday, the 24th utt. at eight o'clock in the evening, and arrived at Frankfort at eleven the next day. He thence took the road of Hanau. Two Heligoland Mails also arrived yesterdsy even ing, With letters from that place to the 3d, and from Yamborgh to the lit Instant. By these accounts, the note of warlike preparation in the North is sound-'' ed louder than batons, mad is more distinctly heard than ever. If we are not greatly mistaken, our Mi nisters are in some degree stunned by it; and who can wonder it should be so ? They must feel like men who, I actuated more by rashness than real courage, start back i when the trying moment approaches. Their mouth; I pieces confess (and that is the same thing as if they con fessed it themselves);that the moment is critical—the, scene awful—the coming catastrophe tremendous, &e. that " a long and bloody conflict is to be expected.." In most'of these particulars we agree with the writers, as also that the conflict will be bloody, but we do I not think with them that it will be lung also : and ter this reason—that the men who have hitherto pro longed this unprofitable and unnecessary war, n ill n , t have influence enough to prevent its termination. If our gold (that is, the public's gold, and other specie) had remained in the Bank, and that its Di rectors had not been indemnified by Act of Par liament, through the prodigal Minister, Mr. PITT, but been punished for their infraction of the laws of the realm for sending it in large and rk & -eated subsidies to foreign mercenary States, the war had ceased fifteen years and more ago; and tee had been flourishing by trade; the natural pabu lum on which the British islanders feed and fatten. But no; captures made before declaration of war—tried by oar own Courts—condemned by the King's Judg e proceeds disposed of as the Sovereign Pleases !:!—are causes and considerations which might be supposed powerful enough to stir heaven and earth, to put an end to so dire, so destructive a system. Can we wonder that every maritime state on the globe is impregnated with either enmity or envy towards us ? But we are at war, and it behoves every man, who loves his country, or values the property he has in it, to consider how we can best 'get out of it. But perhaps all advice and all remonstrance is in vain, till a little more of the bitter fruit is forced down the throat of silly JOHN BULL. He had the sweets o f it doing the first years of the Revolutionary War s and that circumstance called up the worst qualities of his disposition (the mercenary ones),which looked at the immediate gain, without considering that in the end a great deal might be wanting to balance the account under the significant item " profit and loss." Of the articles of intelligence respecting the prog nostics of the approaching renewal of the conflict, Me find the same reason to complain of the ambi guity, inaccuracy, and even falsehood of the news : but, *hen we consider it is brought from.the Hauge- Towns, meaning towns i nhabited by merchants, composed of Jews and Gentiles, we need not won der the case is such. The ambiguous part of the Intel ligence we complain of itytbet which gives out that the, Commander, has joined the Allis i with 10,000 men, Bse. &c. If this were the Ms, would General DORNIERG have been coviebideed to pass the Elbe, and allow the two chisit Or • lamed b o dies of French troops to form a jaw** Of so imposing* Slaters? It is not possible. All this while - we hear nothingof the Swedes ; nor.do we believe that Lord CssrLiteAcu himself could give VI a satisfactort ac count of what they are doing, or what they asteldly", pep to do. Under these lieliess., tied &liar OlOretC, tirour affairs, the old trumpeter of war assures us of a prevalence of the universality of sentiment in all Germany, against BORAPARTI and the French; and that, though there is nothing very flattering to speak of at present, yet—" all will end well." We were for some time comforted with the universality of setftiment or hatied of the French, end love of us, in the Spaniards. It is no longer insisted upon on the Peninsula ; but is to be understood as pre veiling in Germany. The universality of spirit in the French to resist the nations which interfered with their Government, went for nothing with our Ministers! Now, in Germany, it is every thing ; and yet at the precise time it so flatteringly reigns, the allies at Altenburg confess that they are concentrat ing their forces. We have this morning receiretrfurther extracts -from the German Papers, which announce that the Emperor of Russi.t and King of PaussiA entered Dresden on the 24th ult. Count STADION remaining at the head-quarters. These extracts also contain a letter from the head-quarters of the Allies at Alten burg, which states, that Maks'. Von BLUCHER bad been engaged with the van.suard of the enemy, had made some prisoners, but was afterwards obliged to retreat with a small loss, himself being wounded. KALISCH, APRIL 16.—Ther following Order to the Army, from his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, has been printed here :- 44 Soz.nisas 1.--Glneet-ssites -evownest - yea with never-fading laurels. The ever-memorable destruc tion of the enemy, who dared to attack you—your rapid advance into foreign countries, not for the pur pose of conquest, but to free it from oppression—and, finally, your peaceable and generous conduct to wards people, who, by the force of necessity, ap peared as our enemies ; all this has wen the hearts of our neighbours. Prussia joins her armies, so long renowned for their valour, with our powers prepared for her defence. Animated by the same spirit as our selves, and zealous for the dignity of its Monarch, and for its national honour, flies to arms, and In conjunction with us, to quell that horrid thirst for conquest, which, regardless of its own destruc tion and that of other nations, endeavours to esta blish its despotism by streams of blood, and on the skeletons of the human race, which it has destroyed. " Soldiers! let friendship and unity strengthen the bond between us and Prussia's noble warriors. When need requires it, lend them your assisting hind. They will act in the same manner towards you.— ' May your souls be united in the most glorious achievements. Ours is a common cause and just in its object. We defend the holy faith against the l ungodly, liberty against oppression, and the rights of humanity against tytlanny and wickedness. " God judge our intentions. You will see the proud enemy low at your feet, and shame and dis grace will fall on the cowardly miscreant who, to the detestation of human society, crawls before him in the dust. " ALEXANDER." BERLIN, APRIL 24.—Our Paper contains the fol- lowing : " We have deemed it to be our duty to inform oar most gracious Monarch of the noble sentiments with which all the inhabitants of the country .between the Oder and the Elbe were dis- ' posed to rise against the enemy, even previous to our publication of the 4th inst. whenever might venture to leave the fortresses in his possession to cross the Elbe: first, in the Magdeburg territory, on this side ; and afterwards in the Prugnitz, by as. sembling all the men capabkrof bearing arms, which they have accomplished in the most satisfactory man ner, and to which we have received thp following gracious Cabinet Letter : "I have with great pleasure been convinced by your letter of the sth inst. that you are endeavouring to promote the great cause of the defence of our coun try, by the most incessant activity, and with that seal I was entitled to expect from you, •and what the necessity of the times require.

DiZSDEN, APRIL 22.—Several distinguished per sons* of the ducal family, have arrived here from Weimar. • On the 19th, some more regiments of Russian ca valry arrived; en the 20th, infantry and artillery, about 25,000 men. The Emperor is expected hete with a retinue of 500 persons, ana 6000 of his guards. He will, it is said, remain here some weeks. The head-quarters will a►so remain here ; and 15,000 Russians, a part of Which are expected by the end of tlnih• The Prussian General Raster sent froo► hence to our King, returned on the 21st in the evening. The best onderstanding prevails between the garrison of Torgau and the Russian troops; and, it is said, that the garrison will soon march out. Single Cossacks have already, for some time, been admitted into the fortress to purchase such necessaries as they stand in need of. Jena, among other places, is mentioned as one where the French will assemble. . • Aran. 24.—A report has been received here, that the King of Saxony will go from litatisbon, by way of Linz, to Prague, be will, it is said, arrive there to-morrow. The brigade of .culrassieurs of Lobe nau, a part of the grenadier guards, and all the de pots will follow the King thither to-morrow by Pil sen. May the Saxons soon be permitted to take a vigorous part in the sacred struggle for which all our hearts pant. . BRESLAU ) Aram 24.—We are assured that a courier, who, on the 6th of this month arrived at Vienna from Paris, brought the positive rejection by Napoleon, of the proposals for a peace, made by Austria ; since which the Austrian General has re solved to set on foot au army of :130,000 men in , Germany, and another of. 60,000. in Upper Italy.— An ultimatum of the French Emperor, on the whole business of the peace, will be presented to the Prince of Schwartsenberg, to which we can scarcely expect a speedy answer will be given. • ' • • It ic-mid that Bavaria positiveli Itnibtli 'en pre- Bert - Int "iss neutrality. . The Lisboa Mail Letters were delivered 'from the Post-office yesterday. The arrival of the Paci fic from New York is announced, by which we have advices from the United States to the 224 March.

The attempt to raise the American loan had , been unsuccessful, 3,750,000 dollars hay- ' ing only been subscribed out of the 16 millions. Of the first vote of 26,000 men for the land service, not more than 10,000 had been procured.' It was con jectured that Mr. Mantsoa would not have above a majority of 90 in the House of Representatives, and would have about equal strength in the Senate. The English at New York who had not been naturaliied, had been sent more than 250 miles up the country. Government has at length determined to issue licences " for the importation from any port of the United States of America not blockaded, direct to a port in Great Britain specified, in bona fide neutral vessels, whose names are specified, such American products as are by law permitted to be imported ;" these licences being granted without the stipulation 'if any previous export from Great Britain.
