NISITGULTI, OCT. 13. A considerable quantity of provisi , ns are col leting in different places upon the Weser, which are fit for est,thfishing ni.gatities. It is said. that these provision. are on acc cunt of the Emperor of Russia, and destinLi for the Russian troops who are to land at Mecklenburgli. The fortress of Hameln is psoviiloned for sic ino ithe ; that of Nisubourgt for tour; they are, besides, provided 'with all manner of necessaries. His Majesty the King of Holland has recei v e d from the Emperor of the French Cue comotaad in chief of the army of the North. • MINISIRY OF THE GRAND JUDOS.

TO THIL A review of the history of any two centuries does net pretest to our minds a series of such remarka ble sad unprecedented events, as hays distinguished oba last fourteen years ; we are now, in fa& only in the midst of their completion—Who will now pre tend to dive into futurity, or dare to calculate the avenue( the text ten years ? Whets two such great and enlighiabeil men, as those we have lately lost, fall sationpUtely wide in their predigions,respeting ,tb elitioliptedlns of the French. ftevoltstioo ; when the erne who prophecied France to be blotted out of the Map of Europe, yet afterwards found nothing but France ; when the other, who prediaed that great event to be the foundation of eternal liberty to man kind, sod afterwards Sale the nation, which gave birth to it, sn^k into a worse state of slavery and eye inny, than eFer she before experienced ; 1 say when such enlighiened men as these are deceived, ',hat human being is there, who can pretend to di vine Ale future course of events? The result of the battle of Jena leads me isle these • reflections. Few supplied that the Provisos steroid ever be able to resist the cowman rams of force opposed to them—it seemed at kost:iroprobeWes—chat very im probability led me to ground the vastest hopes on their exertions; for all our probabilities have, for the last twelve years, cz.mpletely failed. We are not yet acquainted with the events which have led to the disastrous issue ef • this eele• bested battle ; hut I doubt not, the pnacipal capsc will be found in the immense superiority of the Freath i in point of numbers ; for the Prunians elm yielded t 6 them in courage or in discipline. The whole force of France was brought to one point—the event has justified its propriety. kiwis has now been galley of as great an error this year, as Prussia committed last year. Why did not she bring a hundred thousand men' into the field, and thereby draw of the principal force of France from •It V' 7WW. 4.7 "- a " • Prussia ? No, she was apprehensiveto the very Wit moment, that the King of Prussia wpuld not afr Could Austria want more just motives for war..' than what she had already received ? Her indeci skin, like that . of Prussia..previous to the battle of kusterlits, will be equally fatal to both nations. Their jealousy and waist of confidence is their mu tual ruin. Such is, and deserve; to be, the fate of indecisive sovereignties. Why was not advantage taken of the trifling differences between the Count of Berlin and Stockholm, to introduce ltussiati troops into Pomerania, under pretext of assist ing the Swedes against Prussia ? Tbey would have then been ready to aft immediately against France, while the Cabinet of St. Cloud would have been doped by this artifice. Nothing, in faft, would have pleased it better, than the prospeit of the three Courts wasting each others strength ! But no, in tripe is only prevalent at St. Cloud, not a Mini ster in the three Courts could be found to arrange so trifling an artifice. The consequences are now, the entire subjeftion of the Continent; and, perhaps, a renewal of the title of the Western Empire. Are such extraordina ry events tope ss by without our derivingeorse advan tage from them, to serve us on that day which shall decide the fate of the world, and decree its empire to one of the two great rival nations, now struggling for superiority! yes, such a day will, I doubt not, soon arrive, and on British ground will the Empire of the Universe be decided. F:ance and England can so more exist together, in their respeftive great ness, than the world can bear the existence of two suns—one must fall. All nations, like men, ha►e a certain stated course of existence :and the day which gives the sovereign empire of Europe to one nation, will proclaim America, at a future day, to be the next quarter of the world whlch shall be distinguish ed by superiority. Asia and Africa have had their day ; Europe is fast approaching to its dissolution. The fall of the future empire of America will, per. baps, proclaim the threatened• dissolution of the Universe. Atoms. THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOUR 31. The .Eloelors of the city of Westminster, in the lemma of Mr. Pautr., dined yesterday at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, in the Strand. The Meeting was full, and, with a few exceptions, very respeaable. We have heard much of Mr Pau'. t's sue ems is his canvass, end we do sincerely believe, that common fame has not over-rated it. It was, there. fare, with concern we saw him fastened um* Paint COBIZTT, who had the modesty to heel* upon riding in the same coach to the Crown mid Anchor, and to take to himself the applies 's lavished upon Mr. Pau Lt.. A conibinktion of circumstances, which could not have been fmmem, opens to Mr. Paola, a peeepea of success, to which, as on individual, not intimately conneaed with 'Woemtineter, he could have had, a little time ago, WET few pretensions. If he would not blight diem hopes, and destroy those prospoas,he must keep a few pretended friends at s distance. Hearts Toose, being a gentleman and a scholar, was not half so injurious to the fame and thafaCter of Sir FRANCIS Business, as this malignant slanderer and low-bred Jacobil must prove to Mr. Pa ut.t. Re solved not to lose an opportunity to gratify his vanity at the expencs of his friend, he had his Sap pers stationed, yesterday, at the Crown and Anchor, to invite him to the Chair, after Sir FRANCIS Burmese had quitted it. And a pretty figure he made in it. Scarcely was this Sancho Panne seated on his throne, when, feeling his honours hang auk wudly about him, he abdicated, not to canvass a setion of the City, as recommended by Sir FRANCIS Byrum'', het, being a man of superior infloence, to bespeak the votes of a whole arramli,seassit. Mr. H MUSIC/7, the Featherman, nest succeeded to the Chair, and resolving not to be outdone in zeal and energy, undertook to =MASS a whole ev n rg of the to*n. His seal, however, soon evaporated in tNe fumes of his wine, and he sat until be saw the company out. We repeat, that Mr . PAOLA has every thing to fear from such friends as Peru ; and if he fails, he will piobibly owe his failure to the connection. The Eleaion for the Borough of Southwark com menced yesterday. A full report of the proceed ings is given in our subsequent columns. It is reported, that the King of Pausal k has en tered into a Negociation for Peace with BONA . The report is premature, but we shell not be surprised if the event should justify the specula tion. BONA, AKTe. pursuing the policy which he pranised after the battle of Austerlitz, will not lose a moment to offer terms. We fear, the Russians are not sufficiently near to encourage the King of PRUSSIA to rejelt them. It it mentioned in some private letters, that Sas- ony had withdrawn front it; alliance with Prussia. It s is not imptobable, that the E &Ana oa, in ord,er to prevent his States from being treated is a conquered count: y, m ty have been forced to adopt that course. I;o7 AP). t es appeal to the Saxons led us to appre hend, that he entertained sanguine expeaatiuns of being able to detach that Government and people from Prussia, and include them in the Confede ration of the Rhine, cr in the words of Ta.i.t.tv- R atilfS Report, that he will allow no one to esulave them but himself. We fear, therefore, that this report is not without foundation. We have the pleasure however, to relied, that the Saxon :army is incorporated with the Prussian troops, and cannot be severtd from t em in a moment, by the dash of a pen. The Hen.

The election for Bath takes place this day ; the late Members, Lord Jerre Tn v moot, and Joan Pa L usa. Esq. will, no doubt, be unanimously re-eleaed. Lord C•STLERIAGH, who had offered himself, de clined on 'Tuesday. From the persevering canvass amongst the Scholars of Trinity College, Dublin, on the pat t of Mr. Foesrea, the success of the format Member, Right Hon. Geoacia KNOT, was for some time supposed doubtful; but, on that gentleman's re-. pair mg to Dublin, he found all his old friends staunch as ever, and not a doubt remains of his re- ' election. We understand Sir WA rain Lawns, father of the city, was, last night, put in nomination by the in. dependent Livery of Landon, as a fit representative for that city. When we recollea the constitutional ' conduit of that Gentleman in Parliament, the con du& of the Livery appears highly creditable. Mr. SIMMONS, the new Member for Canterbury, is a Gentleman of the greatest respectability, and is ; the Editor stud Proprietor of The Kentish Casette.
