LON DON. FRIDAY, Ocr oat it 17. The Hamhurgh Mail due on Wednesday. ar rived yesterday with letters and Papers to the 1t th instant. We have also received Dutch Papers to .the , Aath, being one day later than those received on 'tnesday last, containing the Paris news of the iOth. .The latest intelligence from the expetted theatre ttf' war is the 6th. at which time no struck. This. however, is not derisive against the report brought to Dower by the. Pilots from of the 'frail, stating the adual commence ment of hostilities between Prussia and France. — An account of an aline fought on the 7th or Sth might have reacheelthe Hague or Amsterdam upon the 11th, the day on which the Pilots assert that it appeared in a Dutch Paper. But though it is not a ding refutation of the report. it has consider ably reduced the degree of credit due to it.— The head-quairters of Bow AP•RTZ were, on the 04 .4 at Wurzburg ; aad those of the King of Psessisi at the same date, at Irfurt. They had, of course, made no advance since the tat, on which day these two oPPosin Chiefs occapied the very same posi tions.. The interval. however. has not been spent in idleness. It has been &direly employed in con centrating the French army ; the nud: dhody of which is stationed between Wsuzbongh and :limn berg. For this purpose, its right ling. undeellsa.- 1111 a POTTS.. moved through Erlinseis on the 34 was to be followed immediately by. the.cciipc.4. Manisa' Soots. which was advisories by (Mai marches for Nurnberg eed Amberg.

Oa the northern miasma are laid that ebagoftei des 'Mia mian army of @Wawa tion inWestpludla. soder Geaeral lltucuaa, the advanced guard of which had passed through Cassel Niche stb. has been obliged to mea sure back its steps, and leave the Hessian territory. The FJettor of Huse is said to`baea peld a visit to the head-quarters of the King of Femme. es the lit. and to have afterwards repaired to the bead quarters of B&Nasaa:c, at Wurtsburg. It was generally understood that these visits were for the purr** of practising the consent of these respeitive Chiefs to the neutrality of his Electorate I and the interruption which &tweet's crisps ex perienced. is conclusive evidence of the success of the E 's visits. This is much to be regretted, because it is of advantage to France ; and the dla- rater of BOICAP ASTI will 110 t allow us to hope, that he will revel the neutrality of Hesse a ono• mot looser than it suits his convenience. the Prank Milliner La Polon has 'dually left Berlin; and a private letter from Hansburgh of the 10th that BOliallArri solicited a personal interview with the King of turista, but that the latter refused the invitation. These two circuautarmes, combined with the movements of the respetive armies, strengthen the opinion, that the dispute between France and Prussia must be decided by the sword alone. la the casuist, BOP 111 &Wig will, probably, be the assailant, as his army was more concentrated, and Prussia would probably be disposed to await the approach olds* Russians. Of the co-operatipn of the latter, there can be no doubt. The fint co pen of the Russians was eipeted on the loth at Koeingsberg. Two other Russian tediums. of 50,00! , men each, are in full march ; one through Waip i tp to Silesia ; the second army passes through RAM. , nia and Eastern Prussia.—lt is still mart ivident . from db• model of Austria, that she only' awaits an oppotesity, as we stated yesterday, to matter arms against France. The Bavarian army, ' part of which has marched up the Danube with Soots., tisoogh united to the 13,000 French in Bran um. would not be able to face the Aus trians.—One of the miner French Papers has pub lished an account of the operations is Calabria, in which the English are nad to have dimmed that eonatry. after having sustained a sevete defeat.— It admits, that the English had previously obtained " some partial successes s" and this admission has beta relied upon as favourable to the contrary report, muse days in circulation. of a second great viaory obtained by the English, subsequent to that of Maids. As further evidence of the falsehood of Ale \ Frasch account, a Gentleman. recently airived in town, from the north of Italy, positively asserts, that ac counts had been received at Leghorn, . from Naples, stating, that in a second general engagement in Ca labria, the French sustained' a great defeat, in which General Jot/IMAM. and several tithe Officers of rank were killed. andiMetsrie A, and many other Officers, were wounded. Thh vidory, he adds,was not obtained without considerable has on our side. The remain der of the Preach fell back upon Naples, and it was clot !aid, that they mid not stop there, but retired to ) Rome. A private truer from Vienna, of the 36th of September, announces alai► • general defeat of the French in Calabria, and gives the '22d of August, as the day CO which the battle was " fought. Apprehensions, however, were entertained yesterday, in well informed circles, that the article in the French Papers, announcing a defeat of our troops, is not without some foundation. The report of a speedy dissolution vi Parliament gains ground, and an alive canvass has commented in consequence. As we stared yesterday, it is ex peOed that the new writs %ill be issued on the 25 Is. The Timer Newspaper, yesterday, stared, " that its contemporaries frequently delay their publication. for the purpose of procuring a copy of Tic Timer, which being done, they stop the Press, and announce, in the latter part of their impression. the news of which they have robbed The Times." The assertion, so far as it applies to Tws Bairises Paris, is as false as it is base.—lt is a miserable attempt of The: Times to slander its contemporaries, and make a pro- tenet for its acknowledged " lateness and irre gularity." We have seen that paper some -times an Evening paper, sometimes a Suns* Paper. We have seen it for twelve months come out every day with a blunder and a falsehood in its very Gest line; for, with a view to throw the blame of its avowed " lateness and irregularity" upon the Newsmen, it has the matchless effrontery to announce every day the minute at which its publication ceased, aaually before it was put to press. These and many other tricks and impos tures, which a paper really respectable in charafter and tale would iimeiay mu have long passed by without notice. Wikbegarded them as the devices of a Charlatax to prolong a miser** existence, 4 rd, we pitied the situation that made it necessary to ielert to such medians. We own another usotive isr . cor silence. The respeetability of the public press may be endangered by newspaper abase sad crimioation ; and we thought it better that The Taus should go free, then that the public Press should sager in its punishment. This unprovoked and malicious attack, however, epos Tea Burnie Pam, and every other respedabie Mowing Paper, compels us to depart from the amuse which we have hitherto punned.

The Commander of the Russian . squadron, at Portsmouth, arrived, rday, in town, on a visit, for a few days. The Val revs Arum, the Hon. Capt. LAKE, ar rived from the coast of Holland, on Wednesday, with dispatches from Lord Retro, which were im mediately forwarded to London. The Maio, 84, Capt. Bu Lt.'s, arrived at M. orouth, from Lisbon, reports, that Admiral Rai Se. Viatcenr was taken suddenly ill in the Theatre at Lisbon, but soon recovered, and was much better when the Malin left that station. We are requested to state, that the GestrolStmort East Indiaman is consigned to Madras mad Bengal, not Bombay diree, as we stated yesterday.

A great alarm was excited in the .city rester. day, by the report of the tiring of guns, supposed to be those of the Tower. Ike fischange and Ltoso's Coffee-house, were. in a moment, all bustle and confusion, the people running in all slireetions, inquiring the news, and pressing in crowds to the Mansion-house. A viClory at sea— total defeat of the French in Caleb/it—signal suc cess of the Prussians—in short, every possible cause that the fancy could conceive. was assigned for it. At length, the firing was ascertained to have pro- ceeded from smile volunteer corps, which had a field , day, in the iields beyond the tower. They fired by platoons, with so much precision. that each discharge was mistaken for a single slant from one 'of the toter gu4s. ... A BATH, Ocr. I.
