The King ordered a note to be transmitted by General Kuobelsdinf, containing the con ditions ow which he was ready to come to an accutoanodation. Them conditions were.. 1. That the French troops should immediately evacuate Germany. 2. That France should oppose no obstacle to the foundation of the Northern Confederacy, arid that the Confederacy might oni'irace the larger and smaller state., not included itt the fun damental afit of the Cortheleration of the Rhine. 3. That a negoctirron should immediately be commtneed for the adjustment of all differences still in dispute, a preliint• nary ink* which should be the restoration of the Abbeys, end *the seperattoo of the town of Wesel from the French Ketone. Theconditione speak for themselves. They prove how mo derate the King, even at tire moment, has beeo in his de• monde, and how much the maintenance of Peace, if France wishes Peace, depends upon France herself. The term perettiptorily kited by the King for the decision of peace or war, has elapsed. Hu Majesty has not received the answer of the Cabinet of St. Cloud, or rather the pmpara tioni he sees around him, daily give him that answer.

Adence, si n ce his cause is just. The Krug hat carried his for bearence to the utmost limit, and till honour forbade him to carry it farther. The King has overlooked every thing, only peitenally to himself; he has disregarded the d.icition s of ignorance, and else attacks of calumny; always hoping that he should be able to conduri his people, without injury, to that perind, which must sooner or latex anise, when unoist greatness shall find its bounds ; sad ambition, 04511- matey refused to acknowledge any limits, shall at length u'erleap His Majesty takes up arms, not to gratify a isog-nourished resentment, soot to increase his power, riot to disturb a nation which limos how to enema itself, in its natural and lawful limits; but to protect his nionarehy from the fate Whicn is pre pared for it, to maintain the people of Frederic in their inde pendeoce arid glory; to delver unfortunate Germany from the yelte ender which it lies, and to obtain an honomable and se. ore Peace. The day en which he shall effeet this, will afford the King his noblest triumph. The meta of the war which is now be ginning, are in the disposal of Supreme Wisikeu. The King Mayer to others premature b watlngs, as he has lung left tai thorn the miserable enjoyment of their base invectives and all. answered calumnies.

THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, THURSDAY, &roses 23. _ We this day rive the conclusion of the Manifesto of the King of Pauses a against France. Its reason ing is founded upon the same wise and generous principles, and it breathes the same spirit. that dis tinguish the preceding parts. The injuries inflined by Bon AAAAA c upon Turkey, upon Austria, and the other Continental States, are viewed as offences against Priosia, and resented as such. This is true policy. It is only by this temper and feeling the har mony of Europe can be preserved, or the balance of power can ever be resto ed. It charges France with wresting Ragusa from the Porte, and Gradisca and Aquileia from Austria; with introducing into the constitution of the Confederacy of the Rhine, a clause to absnrb all the other powers of the Conti nent, and attempting to bring Prussia within its operation; with Insidiously tempting the Elector of Hesse to break his cooneelion with Prussia, by the promise of an enlargement of territory ; that err largement to consist of the Bishopric of Fulda, the property of the KING'S brother-in-law ; with having constantly urged Prussia to seize the German posseswins of the King of Swetivi. and yet stipulating, in D'Oueares Treaty, fur their security; with guaranteeing Hanover to Prus sia, and, at the same time, negociating with Eng land for its restoration ; with keeping the French army in Germ Any, for the purpose of degrading its several Princes into vassals ; with dragging before military ttiburtals. Citizens. responsible only to their own Governments, and proscribing others as traitors, while hired libelers, under the protec tion of the French Government, attacked, with impunity, the honour and interests of inde pendent Ptinces ; and, finally. with augmenting the French army in Germany, and advancing it to the fronton nt Prussia, fur the purpose of intivni dating and degrading her. 13 this catalogue of moral aid 1-olitical climes, we recognize the mur der of PALK. That unfortunate has not died in vain, when we And his death contribut ing to kindle lust resentmenk in the breait • of Faunalca, end to open his eyss to the danger that surrounds him. But what has been the con duet of Prussia under this accumulation of wrongs and provocations? Count Kuosei.snosr► WAS leut to Paris, to demand satisfaerion and restitution. ho : lie was sent to demand the return home of :he Ft inch troops from Germany, where they were kept upon palpably idle and false pretences. He de manded not compensation for past injl:ries, but merely the removal of the cause of future com plaints. Insult, however, was added to injustice by BON AP ART E ; instead of withdrawing Ith troops, he announced his intention to augment them, and to place Hamburgh, Lubeck, and Bremen, under his domination ; while the Psithetste, one of his papers, 'WAS ordered to publish against the King of PRUSSIA a philippic, which, in ordinary times, would be Con' cideied • declaration of war; and, as evidence of the contempt in which he held these complaints, troops were marched from the interior of France, evidently with hostile intentions against Prussia.— The patience of Prussia was now exhausted, and KI4OOIILSDOR ft was instrunedto demand —first, tbat the French army should evacuate Germany ; se condly. that France should oppose no obstacle to the plan of the Northern Confederacy ; and, thirdly, that a negotiation should be immedi ately opened for the adjustment of all objects in dispute ; a preliminary article of which should. . be the restoration of the three Abbeys, and the separation of Wesel from the Fiends Empire, as stated in Tat BRITISH Pacss on Tuesday last— To this demand a categorical answer was se qu'red within a giveh time ; which having expired without any answer returned, and with sew de monstrations of hostility on the part of France, the King of Paussi a, under these circumstances, pub lished his Manifesto. - The Pelypitems, of 64 guns, is to be fitted im mediately for a flag, and a twelve month's voyage.
