THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, SiekTfiRDAY, AUGUST 30. We have received New York papers to the st ult. but they contain no news. A letter, however, of the 20th, from our Correspondent is that city, will be found interesting. It enables us to eortra- Ilia a report which prevailed yesterday, stating tha t an account had been received at Liverpool, that the ysUow fever had broken oat in New-York, and was raging there with great violence. There was no symptom of it in that city on the 20th. The Moniker has published a Sketch of the tory of the Jews, from Moses to the present time.— In the execution of this work, the writer examines particularly into the causes of their dispersion, and the maxims and laws in their policy and legislation, which have contributed to preserve them an isolated body iq every country where they reside. It is evidently intended for the purpose of prepar ing the way for the new system which Bon a t erre Means to establish for that class of people. —The practice of usury, to which they are al most universally devoted, as the means of live- Mood, forms an important subject of this in quiry ; and we may coUea from it, that Isol4B - A MCC means to consolidate the Jews with the mass of the people, and assimilate them, in their pursuits and professions, to the rest of his subject;. The re ports, therefore, of kis intention to re-eatablish the kingdom of the Jews, to coiled these wandering people, and reinstate them in their native land, we are disposed to treat as visionary and delusive. There is nothing in the article to which we allude, to give a colour to this romantic speculation. The article in the Mission- being of considerable length, we give only a part of it this day. We shall give the remainder at length, or, at all events, a satis factory sketch of it, as opportunity shall offer. The Harnburgis Mail, due on Sunday last, arrived at seven o'clock last evening, with letters and pa pers to the 20th instant. Prussia has assumed a warlike attitude. Her armies are every where in motion. All Generals, absent on leave, have been ordered to. Berlin, to receive their several com mands. Magdeburgh has been declared in a state of siege, and the military d.joits are placed upon the war establishment. Three camps arc to be formed upon the frontiers of Hanover ; camps are also to be formed on the borders of Sax ony ; and the mass of the Prussian army is to be coneentred in the heart of the kingdom. The ra pacity of France is the cause assigned for these mi litary demonstrations. BONAIPAITE, it is said, has demanded the cession of East Friesland, Embden, and some other little corners of the Prussian do minions, for the purpose of consolidating them with the new Kingdom of Holland.—The King of Pius- St A has mustered up &tardy courage, and resolved upon resistance to this extravagant demand, has put his armies in motion. It has been long that the friendly relations between France and Prussia, would finally come to this issue. In the whole history of revolutionary France, she has never been known, in a single instance, to limit het desires. Concessions and compliances have added only fuel to the flame. The acquisition of a part. only increased her appetite for the whole. With so many awful and terrible examples of this revo lutionary policy before its eyes, what is the csurse which the prudent calcalating Cabinet of Prussia has run?—She set out under the auspices of BONA.

A corps is going to fra ternize with the PORTE, and assist it to subdue the Servians. Letters received from Torbay state, that IlisMa jetty's brig Cieerly, Lieutenant FULLEILTON, which arrived there on Wednesday, fell in with His Majesty's sloop ih'ever, at sea, on the preceding J'y, the Commander of which informed Lieutenant FULLEKTON, that on the same morning ( l'neiday last) he boarded an American vessel, the Mit‘tzr of which stated, that on his passage he had fallen in with JEROME BONAPA SAL'S ship the Veteran, which had parted from the rest of Gut LLAUtaILeS squad ron off the Capes of Virginia, and that the remaining part of the squadron was making for some pot t in America. We do not believe the report of the American. Fr* all the accounts previously re ceived, it is more prpbable that the rest of the squadron is on its return to Europe. We were not able to learn, at a late hour last night, that a Messenger had arrived from France. In consequence of the intelligence brought by the Chnvpion frigate, Capt.

JIRO mg Boa AA ARTA might have reached the coast of France on Saterday last. The account io a Paper of yesterday, that Lord AUCKLAND kissed t h e K too's hand on his being ap pointed a Commissioner on the American business, is erroneous. His Lordship was not at the Levee, but was sitting at the Board of Trade at the time. Lieutenant General Lord Sou tHAIMPION being appointed to the Chief Command in the Counties of Northampton, Oxford, Buckieghara, and Bedford, has fixed his head quarters in Northampton.

What the Erlitots of The Courier—for there are two Kings of Beentford there, both smelling to one nosegay--.. may think of the party, and their politics," is a matter of •ery little importance. .1 hey might, however, have shewn a little candour for once, and paid Mr. O'Be•sat a well•merited compliment, without any refledion upon his party.

She played the part throughout admirably ; and, at once, highly gratified and astonished the audience. Indeed, it is almost impossible to conceive, that a child of eight years old, could, by' possibility, give so animated a character with SO much force and ',Eta. She was particularly happy in the fourth All tvis Giendeen, and drew forth repeated bursts of ap plause.
