. _ Prussia eh be the advanced post of a Continental War, seems to us equally dangerous as tardy. She commenced her career in the Continental War by a defation, which, even then, disclosed her system. Whilst Austria and France have held the equili brium, she tranquilly collated the fruits Bof her tor tuous, avaricious, and vacillating policy. But Aus tria once conquered. Prussia lost the importance off a mediator, where she had afted, perhaps, with an equal contempt for both parties With these prin eiples she does not offer to anv one her sincere friendship. There can be no clout that she could not tesume the same system, it similar circum stances should again occur. Here is what ought to serve as a compass in negotiations with her. " The Prussian Cabinet, although fortunate in its speculations. has made, in fag, less dupes than it imagines. France paid her neutrality, so as to per suade her that she was sincere, but she believed this compliance most conformable to her interests, and best adapted to restore a general peace in Europe ; she ales' like the Lacedernonian General, who see ing a corps of young men disposed to deliver up a post to the enemy, contented himself with pointing out to them another, where he might hatch them. What . other Cabinet can Prussia abuse ? Is it that of St. James's, when, instead of sharing the dangers, as she had taken part in the prnjeas of the last war, she glided alter the combat over the field of battle, to carry off the fruits of the iiaory, and divide the spoils of the vanquished. She still keeps Hanover. and meditates an alliance with England. Her ports are still blockaded by the Swedes, and she calla them to her aid. She invokes the support of the Emperor Alexander, whom she abandoned in the midst of the dangers which she had promised to share. A sincere agreement between persons who have been so often deceived, and who have such reproaches to make to twat other, it is difficult to conceive. The wounds which Prussia has occasioned still bleed. The Eng• fish writers themselves cannot give credit to this monstrous alliance. The aid which she promises them, appears like the wooden horse. They trem ble to receive of her presents. Thai, in spite of the positive assertions even of the Journals of Berlin. we cannot give credit to the sudden change in the on duet - of Prussia , because every thing imposes on h the obligation of attaching herself more closely than ever to France. With the friendship of that Power. abe may cover the wrongs which she has committed cowards others; with her aid she may be sure of preserving the advantages she has ob tained without drawing the sword. In adopting another course, in disregarding in this point her situation and her in terest, she would expose her existence and the re mainder of her glory. Her inevitable fall in an un equal contest might offer compensations favourable to the re-establishment of general tranquillity. It might satisfy the resentment of betrayed Powers, leave a great example, and chew that in policy as in morals ante ase truths and duties, the violation of which Pravidence will sooner ur later puaish."

One of them delivered a speech, which was answered by the President of the Assembly, after which the following Resolutions were adopted : a Preamble.) THE BRITISH PRESS.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY. Ocrossß 1. The Gesell' of last night contains a notice from the Secretary at War, for the encouragement and extension of the recruiting . service. It is a new proof that Government entertains little hopes of Peace. An Overland Packet was received, on Monday evening, at the East India House. It does net bring any intelligence of importance from any of the Presidencies of Bengal. Madras. or Bombay.— The letters from Madras are dated the 16th of April ; those from Bombay, the 10th of May.

The above ships sailed from the Cape of Goal Hope. on the ath of December, order convoy of the Beli:quct..r. The Union sailed with the above fleet from the Cape. but parted company on the •oyage, and, w•e are happy to learn, is strived at fiengal. The extra ships 7 saris and Ann sailed from Ma dras for Bengal the 20,h March last. The Maria, country ship, arrived at Madras, from the Cape of Goad H. the 10th of April. A letter from Baltimore, dated the 20th August, says The British and French fleets are within a few days sail of each other on our coast, and from daily information from some of onr outward and in ward-bound vessels, I am sure each Beet knows where the other is, and what force. lam of opi nion, that the French will make an attack on some past of Newfoundland, or go to Boston." - after That the Committee of the Assembly shout I wait upon theat Ca:natio:one , ' of Hos Impeliol sod Rosa' M e onty, to i Mew to r.iorr to hte foot ot the 'broom, the homage of its pro found gratitude, and of its entire and u.,ipectfui thermion.

A great number of baker boys set out the day before yesterday from Paris for the grand army, where they are to be employed in bilking bread and biscuit. The camp at Mcudon is entirely broken up ; all the regiments that composed it, together with a part of the garrison of YaiS, have begun their march, and taken the route to Strasburg. A troop of infantry, of 1,500 men, passed Cambray on the Ifith, for the Rhine. It is reported in that city, that several other corps are to pass, which have the same dcarnation. seer. '2ll.

Indeed, it is impossible that the present Coalition should commit the errors into which the last was betrayed. Prussia has taken aCtual possession of Saxony ; and the Saxon and Hessian troops, to the amount of 50,000 men, al ready swell the ranks of her army. The Pal is Pa pers contain little more of any importance, which the Hamburgh Papers, received on Monday. did net anticipate, or teach us to tape& The French troops in Germany, amounting to about 120,000, are concentrating themselves on the side of Saxony, where the first blow will probably be struck ; and the Allies appear in sufficient force to meet them. Although the Russians are upon their match to join the common cause, and 80,000 have already arrived at Brodi and Belitz, that blow will be struck before they can be brought into aflion. Austria will not refuse her aid, when opportunity shall offers and the English and Calabrians will operate a diversion on the side of Naples, sufficiently powerful to occupy the attention of not less than 60,000 men. Such are the ci crami.ances attending the comm. of a new continental war. The report of Bar al...Ares departure from 1 Paris is confirmed by French Papers to the 27th, I brought to England by Mr. Journal, the Mes senger. This event is announced in the odicial Paper. He set out in the night between Wednes day and Thursday last, in company with Madame Bar A r ARTS, who probably accompanied him only part of the war. Taist.av Kano left Paris, on Fri day, to join him. Before his departure. Bosavaava made some communications to the Conservative Senate, and though the Moliinir takes no netice of them, one of the other Papers states, that they consisted of a letter to the Niece Par MAT L of the Confederation of the Rhine, and a letter to the King of Bay..

We understand a large body of the Eleslers of Westminster met last night, at Mr. PAULL'S house, Charles-street, St. James's.square, to take into con sideration the answers given by S.r Fitaiscas But- DETT and Mr. CURRAN. We are authorised to say, there k no truth in the report of Sir lease's &Janet r intending to offer himself as a candidate, upon the present va cancy, for Westminster, and that he has promised his support and vote for Earl PEIICY.—Sir Feaise is was in town on Monday, and declined accepting the offer of the Meeting at the Crown and Anchor.
