The king And the R iyal Ps mily are t s have a species of private. treasury, under the title of Crown Treasure.

PRUSSIAN PROCLAMATION. “ It is hereby made known to alt Merchants of this place, that in pursuance of the Peace con cluded at Tilsit, between Prussi s a s.l France. not only all Prussian Ports shall be shut against English ships. but that also all trade and commerce between Prussia and Eibp,land must cease. " Hitherto they could only be shut up in a private manner, because several Prussian ships were lying ia English ports, and it became there fore necessary to preserve them ; and because se veral other vessels, laden with provisions. una voidably required for this country, were still at sea. These obstacles being now removed, we here by publicly make known, by 11 s Royal Maksty's command, that this port, in common with all other Prussian harbours, are shot against all ships which are English. or belonging to any individual of the English nation ; that under no circumstances and no pretences whatsoever. an English ship, Or even a neutral bottom, coaling from English ports or English Colonies, shall be admitted in the puts of this country; and that no person shall be per mitted, on pain of the goods being confiscated, and other severe punishment infitaed. to send goods hoot this place to any English Port or Colonies, or to order them to be sent to this Port—in short, that no Navigation or Ira& with England or the English Colonies shall be permitted either in English or Neutral lot:orris. Now. whereas the stria ohcervanze ani ere:a:ion of this point, sti palmed in the Treaty of Tilsit between France and Prussia, has been enjoined to us by His Royal Majesty in the moat rigorous manner, and on pain of being dismissed from out offices. and other severe punishments; theretore, we have striully direa2ed and iostroaed all our subordinate officers care fully to watch over all cases of transgression, and as soon as any slth cases shall happen and take place, immediately to report them to sr While we thus give the public notice on the said subj,a, we at the same time advise and warn all merchants of this place r.'t to rimier themselves gailty of a contravention, which, from the measuter we have adopted, will certainly be discovered, and not to expose themselves, on account of • small il licit profit, to the coiifitcation of tneir goads, and other severe criminal puuishment. tt• Mem:4s4e 2, 1807.

LON DON, SATURDAY, ()crests 10. At a late hour last night we received llamburgh and Alton• papers to the 20th of Sept. Great pains are taken to inflame the public mind in Denmark against England, and for this purpose the most violent Proclamations and Addresses are d.stsibuted through that country. The French en courage and foment this hostile spirit, and mast succeed in their endeavours, as the Danish Govern. ment is evidently under their entire influznce. Ac. counts from St. Petersburgh, of the 29th of Augur, states that a great quantity of artillery has been sent to Cronstadt, and that the Eine Ron has shewn great anxiety to place that harbour iu a good state of defence. Later accounts from the Main add, that the Russian troops, on their march from Poland, bad been ordered to the coast of the Baltic, the whole of which is threatened by the Engli.h. Letters, of the 19th, from Hamburgh, repeat the report of the occupation of Fiume and Trice, by the French, but the Vienna accounts of the 9th are silent upon the stihjea. The Earl of PEN aaone had taken leave of the Emperor of AUST CIA, preparatory to his return to England, but Mr. /Milk was to re main behind, a; British Envoy. These papers also contain the plan of the Constitution of the new Kingdom of Westphalia. We this day give a Copy of the Prussian Pro clamation, interdifling all trade, dire Sly and indi redly, between the ports of that country and Eng land and her colonies, in Britids or neutral ships, and their entrance into a Prussian port, under any circumstances, nr upon any pretence whatsoever. This measure is for the purpose of carrying igto elfad one of the stipulations of the Treaty of Tilsit.

Among the preparatiol s making in contemplrt on of a rupture with this country, an event confidently predicted by these writers, we find a proposition at Richmond for raising a Volunteer Brigade, eonsi tins of four Regiments, to serve during the war, should hos. titities take place.
