Several Prussian Officers still remain lier o to super ;mend the formal surrender of the artillery, amnw. nition, magazines, Stc. belonging to the garrison.

It is said that the city and bailiwick of Mundrn, and the city of Darmstadt, will be ceded to Haase, and that the city of Ha m:ll4 and the neighbouring bailiwicks, will form a part of the Eleaorate of Westphalia. The king of Pat.ssr A has addressed a Rescript to the inhabitants of the city and principality of Neufchatel and Va /engin, in Switzzrland, informing them of the cession which he has made of that country to His 1 4 .I.rjety the Emperor Narotrou. This Procla mation, dated Berlin, the 2Sth of February, was published on the 11th of March, at Neufchatel. It affcas to lament the change, and represents it as the result of extreme necessity. The Mewl I, oir of the 21st, contains the Memorial of the 22d of De cembtr,uf CountHa apex Immo to Lord HARROWLY. and has annexed to it a note, which we have copied, charging the English Government with having published the Memorial hiall the Minister;al Prints, in contempt of Prussia, and disregard for the charac ter of Count HtRDrNIERO, whom it describes in the most odious and degrading terms. In ji!s tice to the English Government, and as a ci mp rte answer to the false charges of the Mow tear, we as sert, that the Memorial was exclonorly published in Tug 11111/Iffi Pals' of the I2th instant ; and that it did not come from Government, but was copied from a Germai Paper, tr , tut; vely in our possession, We congratulate the public upon the very able manor-r in which the CSAICCILLLOR of the Et cnriaran has condufted the contrail fat the Loan of this year. With the amount and terms, as also a full account rf the Budget, the public are already acquainted ; bat there are some particulars attend ing it, wlrch are inyerfedly known, or have been inaccnreely stated.

That three Fs should awee to offer the pre.ise same terms, wit!. rut any understanding between them, is a ettgree s f unanimity so wonderful, that must m tl e est credulity. Indeed, this is not pretend. :u be the case, the coalition is avowed. Is it ne t th ee a fallacy, a wilful deception, praCtised upon outsehres, to talk of this coalition as three distiu lists, and to clieiish the ostensible, but illusive idea, that tl tee note four st.ltual lists, i . r,=ni the collision of wb:.h the public could dense C:e benefit of aS uA I arJ 6.00 jiJ e Tles sentiment was 1 4 1 • tindiy telt and expressed in t:re city on Eli hay. : Upon the return of the new parties to the Stark Eechaege, a general sentiment of approval w evinced towards them, even by persons e counter-interest had placed them under some a gree of controul from the other p trties. It vas emphatically called, " a fair bidding, a ma , ly bidding, and, at the same time, a prudent bi ding; " and we confidently believe, from our km, ledge of the charaCter of the parties, that a ground work has been finally laid, enough the energy f this spirited association, to secure, in (mute, the fair interest of Loan Suhs:ribers, and to promote, through a medium of equitable competition, the benefit of the country at large.
