RITZ ACT f ROM ♦ PRIV•TR LETTER, DATED HAM- •t Run, s.; pt. 17. The prospen of the blockade of our river being soon raised, and the probability of our communi cation wed, England, by way of Cuxhave,i, being immediately restored, has put ns in great spirits. We place the greatest reliance on these events, well knowing that the French are about to evacuate Hanover ; indeed. we are positively assured, that they march this day from Gottingen towards tl.e Ithine, taking the rout of Frankfort. Were the French no; disposed to evacuate Hanover, these is no doubt but they would soon find the ,city of so doing ; for we know that the Russian Minister at Stralsund, has notified to the Senate of that city, that two divisions of troops, amounting to ;000 men, would speedily land there ; and it is also stated, that ti,ooo Swedish, under the command of their Sovereign, arc also cxpeCted at that place. It is whispered here, that the French Minister has proposed to our Senate, the evacuation. of Cuxhaven, on con dition of a certain sum of money being advanced ; this, I have reason to believe, is really the r,a ; but I think I may assure you, that the Senate knows better than to comply, since there can be little doubt but the cvacuaLion Must necessarily take place, I 1 , .

THE BRITISH PRESS, A letter we have received from an intelligent fried at Lisbon, mentions, that s rumour has been received there, from Cadiz, of the Carthagena and Foolon Squadrons having efre:leil a junainn. Their united force is stated to be I l• sail of the line ; and it is cnaje.flured, that the Combined Fleets, rein. limed by some of the ships that were fitting oat at Cadiz, will come out and attempt to join them. Two of the Leeward Island fleet have Ariivel The rest are hourly expeCted. Mr. GARLIKC, our Minister to the Court of Denmark, arrived on Tuesday, at Yarmouth, in one of the pickets %%1;01 brought the Hamburgh Mail. The Comm inders of some of the regiments which lately received orders to hold themselves in readi ness to march, hav:.. granted furloughs to their men, and Lave of ahsence to their Officers for some time. It is thence concluded, that the Secret Exredition will not sail so soon as it was expcaed ; or that it will not he upon so large a scale as a•as originally intended. The trnburgh Mail, due on Sunday, arrived I yesterday with letters and papers to the 18th. We have received private letters from that city, of that date, and three Gottenburgh Mails have also at rived. Their contents are of great importance, They state, that the Austrian army, w:.ich WAS as-, sen,blcd in great farce upon the Inn, has passed THAT RIV ER and ENTERED BAVARIA; and that M. Or ro, the French Minister, at Munich, has, in consequence, set off for Paris. This intelligence is given under I. the head of Ilatisbon, the 12,h inst. sshere it is stated to have been received by an extraordinary Courier. A letter from Stutgardt, of the tilst of August, also announces, that a Nate had been pre sented, on the preceeding day, by the French Mi nister at that Court, to the Dake of Wt I TEN, 3 LA which Bin:am - re demands an explanation of the Duke's sentiments, and threatens, it they be um. favourable to France, to take immediate possession of that EleCtorate. A similar Note was delivered, about the same tim-, to the Eleaor of BADEN. These two instances may be considered as specim-ns of the bullying system which BONA, Aim., has prac tised towards all the other petty Princes nf Ger many. The £l for of BA • ant A, one of the most considerable, has, no doubt, declared himself in fa vour of France; and the Austrian troops have been then: e induced to enter that tie:tea-ate. Tne following is now said to be the arrange ment of the Staff of the Austrian arm es : 'l'he Eursana, in person, assisted by General Macs, will command the centre of the Army of Germany ; the Archduke FERDINAND, the right; :Ind Prince CHARLES of SCHWA RZENEERO, the left. The Archduke CHARLES will command the centre of the Army of Italy ; the Archduke JOHN the right; and Prince JOHN of LICHTENSTEIN, the lett. General BELL LOARDE is to command in the Tyrol. All the accounts by the Gottenborgh Mtil, and the private letters from fiamburgh, encourage an expettation, that Hanover will be evacuated by the French troops, and the freedom of the navigation of the Elbe be speedily restored. The Russian Minister at Stralsund has notified the intention of the Estrettos to land some troops at that place, cad the Swedish army is all in motion, with its brave and genemus King at its head. The approach of these forces to the Elbe, will - acessarily oblige the French to retire ; and it was accordingly report ed, that the French Minister had proposed to the Senate of Hamburgh, to evacuate Cuxhaven, for a sumof money. kis probable, that the senate, seeing the French Minister would make a virtue of necessity, would refuse this proposition.—The arrival of the Russian troops in Gallicia, is eon firmed by a letter of the 2d of September, which states that the van division had passed the Russian frontiers, so far back as the 22,1 of August. A serious riot broke out at Madrid, on the 2.lth last. a circumstance that confirms the reports of the discontented state of that capital. The I lamburgh Papers also announce a vague rumour of the landing of Russian troops in the Kingdom of Naples. -- The Foreign Legion in this country, which i, 10,000 strong, and consists principally of Hano verian% has received orders to hold itself in readi• ness to march. It is supposed to be destined for Hanover, under the command of His Highness the Duke of CAMBRICGII. The report of vie evacuation of that Eleftorate by the French troops announced in the foreign papers, is con firmed by private letters, state, that the French army had set out from Hanover, in three divisions, on the Bth, 9th, and 10th instant, leaving only a small body.of troops to guard their Ayr?. in coasecprence of these movements of the F . ench, orders have been received is Newcastle, to del. ; th • shipping of goods, intended for liamborgh; with the expectation, that the re-opening of the Elbe will be the nece►sary result of the evacuation of the Electorate.
