THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, .1., . MONDAY. Decametre *3. We .vceived last sight, B v Ex, ems, Faris Panel's to the llth, and Dutch, to the Isth instant. 'They contain so account of the battles in Moravia, sub sequent to that of the ed. The loss of the Russians on that day, is stated at 40,000 killed, wounded. and taken prisoners, and 150 pieces of canoes. The Rassian and French Imperial Guards were op posed to each other. The former are said to have been cut to pieces. The Hansburgh Papers, re ceived last week, informed us, that the Russians had lost all their artillery in,that affair ; but the loss of men, in killed, wounded. and taken. is. no doubt, exaggerated. The absence of all informa tion in these papers, respelling the battles of the 3d and 4th, and other proceedings of the Grand Army, subsequent to the 2,1, toads suronglyeboonfiren the ac counts which stated these battles nnfevonrable to France.

Prussia does not appear to have yet committed herself, by any decisive and unequivocal act of hos tility against trance. There are many circum stances, however, which strengthen the opinion that she is on the paint of eashaethingehe taking an attire part with the Allies in Germany. She is negotiating a loan of 10 millions. Ihe Ber• lie Court Guzrile of the 3tl inst. contains an Article " calling upon the people to come forward with their lives and fortunes to the aid of their king and conn• try," and conclistling with these emphatic words— " Smee, peshaps, 'be imereidelde ferried bar at leorrh arrired, Irby, the hopes ej Peons. ~ 1, g (sad so i deeltq entestamed, bear berm annihilated." The Paris Papers also appear more anxious than ever to Amalgam a belief that Prussia means to adtiere to her eystem of neutrality. This increased anxiety is itself a proof that t h ey really consider her hostile to Fiance. From Italy, we learn, that an Anglo. Russian squadron landed 13,000 men at Naples. on the 20th last. The French Ambassador, immediately after their arrival, h•id Our French arms takra down from the front of his hotel. demanded his passports, and retired to Rome. On the same day. his Naaeou r or MAJESI ir published a Proclamation, expressing his disapprobation of the conduct of the French Ansbassador. and promislag proteElion to the property of the Allies of France, as before the departure of the French Minister.
