THE BRITISH PRESS• LONDON, TUESI) 'V, OCTOCE4 q. 1 Our cm-respondent it Berlin sends us, in a letter of 1 the 25th u 1;. a short account of some new French intrigues in that capital : .4 To embroil the Conti ineon, or to for( . it to make common cause with him against England, has been the constant endeavour of Bons, Asir r., and his Diplomatic Emissary, LA Foam, ever since our Court acknowledged him a Revolutionary Emperor, and Russ, e asserted the rights of nations and of humanity, by resenting the invasion of Germany, and the murder of the Duke of ENGH: FN. The most seducing offers hive been made, both here and at Vienna, to form a de fensive alliance with France, merely, as Me Corsiean sans, to oblige Rnssia not to disturb the peace of the continent ; but neither the letters of Bois AAAAA I, nor the entreaties, persuasions, nor intrigues of Li FARM, could change the determination of our IC two to form any conneition which may make him a party is a war. As a list effort, Bon APART II sent here a ei-damant Count D'A KWIC, his favourite and confidential intriguer, and an Officer of his Staff, with a Caren Blenoche. The guaranty of the Eke *orate of Hanover to the King's brother, Prince l 1 E X -21r, lately bethrothed to a DA Nast+ Paitic ass, is said to beats@ least that D'Aita LIG has offered. The fie quent conferences both between the French Agen: b o re and our Minister of State, and between the Marquis Leer ;mow' and T AAAAA MIND in France, e osin not escape the suspicion of the English and : ' Rassiia Ministers, that something was Ile;;C`'ZlAt• ins contrary to the interest of their Sovereigns and tat; had, therefore, first a conference with Baron llArntNatac, and afterwards with the Kano, in which they were informed, " that hitherto no thing had occurred in Europe which could convince His Majesty either of the policy or necessity to change the system of neutrality to which His Ma jesty had adhered from the beginning of his reign " This political disappointment, no doubt, hurt the pride of the Corsican, who, with his and "rA LL /Y. usual adroitness, has, by his emissaries, pub lished in the Continental papers, that it was Russia and England, and not Yrance, that had endeavoured to seduce Prussia from her neutrality, but had been disappointed." Litters received by the last Lisbon Mail state, that the PatNc REGENT, to pay the enormous tribute, which 13oraraa're extorts from His Royal High ness, is obliged to make great retrenchments in all his departments, and in the offices at his Court. This system has even extended to the army : seve ral half-pay foreign officers, formerly in the Portu guese service, have received official information and letters on this subjed. Yesterday a Hamburgh Mail arrived, with letters and pt,pers up to the 2 : )th ult: They confirm what we have stated before, that great changes are still preparing in the German Empire, whilst IVISA. ?Aar es constitution-mongery at Paris are manufac turing another constitutional code for the Batavian Republic, which will be the fith the Dutch have received from their French A I, within these last nine years. It these dangerous changes and experiments cou:d make a people free and prosperous, the Dutch as well as the French, the Italians as well as the Swiss, would powss the most enviable happiness and the most extensive liberty. Unfortunately, the very reverse is, and must be the case ; and all the sufrerings and misery which the ancestors of the pre sent inhabitants of Holland endured, during two ceniuries and a bad, under their former Constitution. are nothing comdared to what modern hatavian citizens have flt and experienced from the Dattor ship, or rather the tyranny, of Revolutionary France. Whilst on the Banks of the Rhine, Princes from the South of Germany are degradhlg their birth and rank, by their attendance upon the Corsican Usur per, at Mentz; in the North of Germany, the King of Ss% LDEN shcws that spirit and dignity, which would constitute the prosperity, and insure the in dependence, of the Continent, were all other legiti nite Sovereigns to follow his example. \With com paratively a handful of men, he defies DON AP ANT E's vengeance, r.d despises his threats as well as his calumnies; and if he be to fall, from the ir'policy and selfishness of his Royal contemporaries, snot,- than from the army of the Ciir Inca,, lie deter mined to die as he has lived, a King, and tigitti?. , , like a King. According loth to puirire aad private accounts, the French troops in Hanover are ex,7c:t to make an attack on Swedish Pomerania; and Bo- NAPARTE regards this Dray already as his pri vate property, and a &mut to indemnity the disho nour of Princes, a dto degrade Monarchy. Great prepay ations are, however, made by the young Swe dish Monarch, to repel the Corsican satellites, and to defeat the insolent pretensions and outrageous am bition of their tyrant ; and it is hoped, that His Swznrsir MAJ CITY will not be left without some succours from his cousin and brother-in-law the RUSS! A N EMPLI:OIt. We can state from authority, that the para. graph in the Prathgrgh Corr , rpondent, relating that H 1 Klr•st Christian Majesty the King of FLANGE embarked with hii nephew, the Duke of ANCOU. L Lra r, on the *2.1 ult. at Riga for Sweden, is enorm ous. As we inserted in our Paper of Saturday last, Loris XVIII. was still on the 19th ult. at Nlittan, and did not intend to embark for Calmar before the 27th. Count de Fraesrn, the Grand Chancellor of the kingdom of Sweden, formerly a Colonel of the regiment Repa/ Sweduir, in the service of the King of FRANCE, arrived at Gottenburgh on the 41th ult. waiting for the arri►al of His Royal Highness Monsitur I and Count WA CHTAI EIS I ER, Grand Chamberlain of His Swznisu MU LIT Y was ordered to be at Calmar on the Cgth; to receive and compli ment Loins XVIII. and the Duke of AnoouLtuc on the part of the King of Swcottr. We have heard it reported that Government ha• e received information from our fiwt off Crest, that the squadron under GANrusAOVr, at an chor in the Outer Road, has been reirtorced uith two more ships of the lUw, making ia the whole fourteen, besides six frigates, and four unters, all crowded with troops, though, according to the as sertion cf several neutral captains of merchantmen, his crews are far from being crimple? notwith standing that the remainder part of the Brest fi yet has been stripped of all hands. ex.cert those who are absolutely necessary to do duty, even c. her. is a harbour. Aceordroz to tl:e same mutr..;s, it is nut General A vota ku who is on board GANTHrAtaIL 's squadron, and commands the land troops ; but tour inferior Generals, under the orders of a Gene ral QuisiTiN, or QUA s TIN, the late Governor of Bellisle. The troops embarked :re said to amount to 10,000, who have been replaced by troops from the interior, as the army near Brest always conti nues 30,000 men strong. The destination of this expedition cannot be known ; but the common opi nion is, that it is ordered to Toulon, because it has on board several pilots from the French and Spanish ports in the Mediterranean. This may, however, only be a wive de guerre of BONAPARTE to conceal its real objed. We have received letters from Gibraltar to the 21st ult. The contents of which, we are sorry to say, are of an afflieling nature. An epidemic fever has broken out there, which is the more alarming, as fears are entertained, that it may be the same that now rages at Malaga. We have received New York Papers to the 26th of August. They are barren of interesting intel ligence. Jr:Rome Box A PARTE, who is still travel ling about in America, is stated to have received a letter from his Imperial Brother, informing him, that if he expetgs promotion he must return home; but he will probably think it more prudent to stay in America, than run the chance of being landed a Prisoner in England. The Captain of a vessel, which arrived in the Liver from Holland on Monday, reports that he was ob liged to set sail on Wednesday last, without loss of time, as an Embargo was hourly expefted to be laid on in the Ports of Holland. Ile thinks that the troops were embarking for the expedition. Ile also states, that another vessel, which was taking in freight, had orders to get the cargo in at night, and to proceed with all possible dispatch. The Charlotte schooner arrived on Sunday at Deal with Lk:patchy, from the blockading squadron off Dieppe. She brings an account of an adion be tweer. 11 the English squadron and a French flotilla from Havre de Grace, consisting of twenty-eight schooners and luggers, one large praam, carrying two mortars and twenty guns, and thirty-three gun— brigs. The enemy were entirely dispersed, and san guine hopes are entertained that Neverai of them have fallen into our bands. We have rece;ved Paris Papers to the 30th, the liswburgla Correipondenti to the 29th last, and the Leyde I Gaz ttr to the 3d instant. The principal ar ticles which they contain are given in our preceding columns. They give a pompous account of the pre setitations of German Princes to Botta, *err at Mentz. Logs XVIII. and the Duke of ANouu t.zraz have arrived at Riga, but there is no account of MONSICL:a since he sailed from Yarmouth.
