It is estimated that before the sth of Oober we shall have upwards of -120,090. men- between Wurtzburgb and Bareuth, without including 40,000 . men of the Coiifederate Troops.: .4 second French Army of 54,000, men will assemble on .the Lahn, the head-quarters of which will be at Louisburgh. Lastly, a third army of 80,000 men will penetrate from Holland into Westphalia if circumstances re quire it. Letters which we still receive from Magdeburgh, state, that all the - roads from. Dresden and Leipsic are covered with Troops, Artillery, and Ammuni tion, and the Duchies of Saxony appear to- be in tended to be the principal theatre of the War.— 1 Putticiste.. I MAILS.

Last night the Hanzburgh Mail arrived, and also French Papers to the loth inst. and this morning we received .Dutch Paper 2 to the 13th. Although it does not appear that Hostilities have commenced between France and Prussia, yet the intelligence which we have • extra6ted from these different Jour nals will be found to be of the highest importance. The French Minister at Berlin; .LAFoRET, although • he had received his Passports, had not quitted Berlin on the 4th, which is rather singular, as M. DURAND, the French Minister to the ELECTOR of SAXONY, left Dresden without, taking leave, which has in mo dern times been considered as equivalent to a de claration of War. With respect to the ELECTOR of 'the reports are in some degree contradidory. It has been hitherto positively asserted, that he would remain neutral in the event of a War between Prussia and France ; but it is now stated, that he has joined the Kr/49- of PRUSSIA at his Head-quar ters at -Nauenburgh. indeed, it would be Scarcely possible for the ELECTOR of HESSE to . remain reutial if Prussia and Saxony' we re engaged in a War with France. The French Troops are advancing with their usual rapidity towaids_ the intended theatre of War ; and it is asserted -in the French Papers, that by the fifth of this month, there would he a French Army of 120,006 , men concentrated in the neighbourhood'of - burgh. The number of men is perhaps a little e.x 7 aggerated, but it is certain that almost all the divi sions of the French Army are dirediug their march towards' Wurtzberp. s h. BONAPARTE hiaiself ; has arrived there, and occupies the Palace of the Arch , duke, the Brother to the Emperor of Austria. The accounts from Italy, though rather confused, lead us to hope that the Kingdom of Naples may yet be restored to its lawful Sovereign. It is stated, that the French have abandoned, for the present,. the idea cf conquering Calabria, and that their .A,riny, is •to fall back to Naples ; but if the War in the North . of Europe should commence,' the French will find it almost impoSsible to maintain themselves in any, part of Naples, because .it must .be recollected that the - English and Russians have now a large disposeable Force in the' Mediterranean, which, of course, will be actively employed against the French in Naples. It is, indeed, asserted in some letters; that the. Russians have aaualiy landed in Ca labria. The Austrian Troops are assembling on their frontiers for the purpose, as it is said, of preserving a strit neutrality ;- and the Hamburgh Paper states, that a Convention has been concluded bet Ween Austria and France, in Consequence of which the Troops of the former are to retire behind the Ems, and those,of the latter behind the Lech. It is not very likely that Austria would bind herself. by an ,; agreement' from which she could derive no possible ' advantage, and which could operate only in favour of the French. , Lord LAUDERDALE; as. we stated last night, ar :ivecl yesterday in town. - He went immediately on 'his arrivhl to Lord - Ilowicx's-Oliice, and a Counci l took place soon after, which was attended by most -v tae Cabinet Ministers:: The Noble Lord quitted cn Thursday, and slept at Chantilly, The circumstances that preceded his Lordship's departure from the French capital , are particularly entitled to notice. As sq.. ln as Lord LAUDERDALE found that the Frenc'h. Ruler. had gone to join his Army, his 'Lordship considered all negotiation as terminated ; nd immediately demanded Passports. Though Passports were not refused, they,were not imme diately granted, and it seemed evident.that it was the intention to amuse Lord LAUDERDALE,. it' pos sible, with_ a mockery of further intercoUrSe on the subject of his Mission, in • order to give BONAPARTE an opportunity,of striking a decisive stroke at once . against PrusFie, or to ensnare the latter. into igno 7 minions concessions, under a persuasion that the ,ti'egotiations .with England were still n train. Ttaiy I \;(\ l ' artifice might perhaps have deceived Prussia, if it hal not been defeated by the prompt sagacity of our Administration, who immediately deter mined to renew the most vigourous operations against the Enemy. The important Expeditions which were in readiness, were instantly. ordered to sail; and, to give employinent to the French Troops on the Coast, and spread alarm through the Country, the new combustible preparations invented by' Mr CONGREVE, and which were also ready, were inlinedi- ately carried into etfeat. This answered the double pur-' . • pose ofconvincing the French Ruler that we were not to be duped so easily as .he snpposed, and of preventicig so many Troops from bending their course to assist in the attack on Prussia as would most probably have been employed on that 'objet. The experiment fully. answered the intended 'purpose, and excited the warmest apprehension. There were about seven thousand men at Boulogne. " The result of the ex peritnent demonstrated that these inflatt mable .• arrows, as they are called, can with certainty be thrown _to- a distance of two miles and a half, and that they may produce the most destru&ive 'effes on 'the Vessels th a t li e -i n Bou logne Harbour. But. the etre& was also very. evident ift the treatment of Mr. Ross, who was not permitted to land with his Dispatches at' Boulogne, notwithstanding all his attempts. for that purpose. He then went fur Calais, . where he was 'permiAed to - . land, and was conveyed In a close carriage to Boulogne. The people were' full of indignation against him on account of the recent injury which their town had suffered. He was not confined in a hotel, as stated, in some' of the Morning Papers, but in a guard-rooni at the back . - o(Admiral LAcßoss k 's h ouse; t h e whole ofThurs day, and then permitted to proceed to Lord LAU DERDALE. When Lord LAUDERDALE arrived at, . Boulogne he had some explanation with the Com mandant in 'that place, and after much discussion, and a solemn promise that liis Lordship would not hold any intercourse with any body but his own people, he was lodged for the whole of Saturday in a hotel, surrounded with guards, for whose at tendance, &c. &c. he was . obliged to pay. The 'people, on his way to the shore, in order to embark, exhibited strong marks of displeasure in their countenances, but did not proceed to any direct insult. • Lord LAUDERDALE, 'OD: his road from Paris, was a witness of the 'wretched state of the Conscripts', who were literally dragged in chains, like felons, to join the. Armies, under a military escort. They went , in considerable bodies, 'and dis played the utmost 'marks of dejection and misery. M. SCOTT was previously sent off to infcirm the Bri tish GovernMent that his Lordship was on his jour ney but Mr. SCOTT was put under, an arrest. at'Montreuil, and kept in that situation till Lord . LAUDERDALE arrived., His Lordship was then condudted•by a troop of horse to Boulogne, and an Officer was placed in the same carriage with 'him.— He slept at Boulogne on Saturday, and on the fol lowing morning his Lordship and his Suite were marched through a double file of Soldiers to the Boats in which they were to be conveyed to' the Clyde Frigate, then in waiting for thetn THE differences which unfortunately subsisted ,be tween this Country and Prussia may now be consi ,dered as completely adjusted. An Order of Coun cil has been issued to forbid the Capture of Prussian Vessels, and to prevent the detention of Vessels under the Knyphausen Flag, except under circum stances of suspicion. Yesterday morning His MAJESTY, PRINCESSES AUGUSTA and MARY, attended by Lady THYNNE, Generals FITZROY and MANNINGHAM, and Colonel TAYLOR, rode in the Great Park, and returned at half past twelve. Her MAJESTY' and PRINCESS ELIZABETH took an airing in Her MAJESTY'S landaulet and fotir, to Salt Hill and Maiden, and back at half past two o'clock. PRINCESS SOPHIA took an airing in' Her MAJES TY'S roach and four, in the Great Park, and returned at half past one o'clock. A Cabinet Council was yesterday held at .the Foreign Office, from two to four o'clock, at Which the following Members assisted :—Lord GREN VILLE, the three Principal Secretaries of State, the FirSt Lord of the Admiralty, the Master-General of the Ordnance,'Lord HoLLANd, and Lord Sin-' MOUTH. General CRAUFURD attended at Mr. WINDHAM'S Office yesterday ; after whin he had an audience of Lord HowlcK at the Foreign Office, previOus to _ • his setting off to join the•ExPedition. Yesterday, at three o'clock, a Board of General o*ers was held at the Horse Guards, upon some arrangernents that are to be made in the Military College, at Marlow. The ,DuKE 'of YORK took the Chair: There were, present, besides the bnicßs of KENT and CAMBRIDGE, Generals HEWET, CART- , WRIGHT, CALVERT, BROWNRIGG, and a number of others. . ,• It was only a Me sse n g e r _ belonging to the Court of Berlin that came over along with his ExCel'env Baroll JACOBI.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. HANOVtR; OCT. 3. Never were the inhabitants of this, or any other ill-fated country, more remarkable for their attach . merit to their lawful Prin c e, th an th ose o f our Elec torate at this ominous,Mornent. They, riot. onlygo the length of endeavouring- to rid themselves - of their hereditary prejudices against the Prussian Go vernment in, consequenee of the idea of a friendly understanding supposed to be in contemplation be ' tWixt that, Power and England;- but -also manifest ' the strongest inclination to support the military ex ertions of the Cabinet pi - Berlin against the common „Enemy of Eurbpe, in hopes that a favourable Chap . • ter of Accidents might contribute to the restoration of their old Government.- The youth's throughout the whole Eleaorate seem animated with the most patriotic fire to take an ataive part in this contest, in the event of a recon ciliation with - F.,nglancl, but unfortunately they still entertain doubts of the sincerity of their present Ruler. A week or ten days must deteilitine upon that point, and one should think it did not require a microscopic eye to come to a decision, when the gi gantic strid4s . Of BONAPARTE'S ambition are measured. with any tolerable degree of attention. We•hAve been flattered with the hopes of the ar rival of a Swedish Army here, hat unfortunately they are not yet realized, and we begin to suspe& that their gallant Monarch may be induced to postpone the march of his Troops till he sees that Prussia goes earnestly and honestly to Work..--some Of the best informed here • are of opinion; that the French Armies in Germany :ought to have been attacked a fortnight ago, because they certainly were not in that state, of 'preparation which could hold out against the united efforts of Prussia and Saxony; and that their •Chief has been of the same opinion, is pretty evident from the rapidity of his movements, . . in conveying Troops to support them.7--There are letters received here from Dresden, which affirm, that ' , the advanced guard of a. Russian Army of 66,000 men are in the Marquisate of Lusatia, follow ed by another of 50,000, and as those reinforce ments must join the German Armies before .the Frenth National Guards and • Conscripts can arrive no doubt can be entertained that. BONAPARTE will find his match. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. MONDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1806. 'Second Year.
