A report reached this .country, some days ago, that BUONAPARTE had ordered the King of PRUS SIA into confinement ; we•did not think it neces sar to mention this rumour, because we could not trace it to any authentic source. +he letters, however, by the last Anholt Mail state a circum stance which shews, that if the unfortunate FRE DERIC is not in close confinement, he is at hist under personal restraint. It is stated that he tome time ago applied to the French Governor of his own capital, Berlin, for passports to go to Sleswig-, and that he was refused. Such are the consequences of an attempt to conciliate BUONA PARTE by submission. It seems to be the fate of the King of PRUSSIA to be advised either by injudicious or by traitorous Counsellors. The course he had adopted upon, the present occa.:. sion is calculated to produce his ruin, whatever m4y be the event of the war. If BUONAPARTE should succeed, the King of PRUSSIA can scarcely expect to retain even the nominal - sovereignty of his own ' dominions ; and if he should fail, 14 Prussian Majesty will be exposed to the animo sity of Russia, and to the contempt of his own subjects. The private letters from Lisbon concur in stat ing, that if MAxmoNT retains his situation at Sa lamanca, a battle is almost inevitable. We have seen since letters from Officers which speak in the most positive terms upon the subject. It should, however, be recollected that the secrecy w.ith which Lori WELLINGTON keeps all hii resolutions,' and the rapidity with which his movements are always conducted, render it extremely difficult, if not im possible, to penetrate into his designs. The ac counts of, the _success of the Guerillas are most gratifying : in every direction they are encounter ing the French With success, 'destroying immense numbers of them, and cutting off most valuable convoys. We have always been most sanguine in our expectations of the success of that species of warfare, and the result promises fully to realize them. The communications which have been laid be fore both Houses of Parliament, respecting Cie state of the disturbed counties, have already at tracted the notice of the Opposition Scribes, and they seem to entertain the most patriotic 'appre hensions that some strong measures will be adopted to restore tranquility. We do not profess to be in any degree informed of the measures which it is the intention of Mi nisters to propose to Parliament, but we know that it is their duty to suggest such steps as are most likely to afford security to the lives and pro perties of his Majesty's peaceful and loyal sub jects and we cannot think that it becomes those who, by their declamations and misrepresenta tions, have contributed to mislead and influence the public mind, to endeavour to throw ob stacles in the way of the Government, when it is endeavouring to restore the peace of the country. We received New York Papers to the 22d nit. this day.—We have no room for extracts to-day ; but we are glad to perceive that the' lan guage is become more pacific, and a favout•able message was expected from the President on the 26th, relative to this country. Whc•n the intel ligence of the conditional repeal of the Orders in Council, shalt reach the American Goverment, we hope amity will be fully restored. THE KING, Yesterday being the last Sunday in the month, the following Bulletin was show❑ at St. James's Place : . 6' Windsor42astle, June 27.
