-qs'l by General Ktsao33 - ELMO RF, containing thc conditions on which he was ready to come to an accommoda tion. These condition's were, 1. That the French Troops should imrhedikely evacuate Germany. 2. That France should oppose no obstacle to:the formation of the Northern Confederacy . ; and that this Confederacy might embrdce all the . larger. and smaller States not included in the fundamental A& of the Confederation of the Rhine.: - 3. That a Negociation should immediately ,be commenced for the adjustment of all obje&s in .dis pute ;—a preliniinary . Article of which should be, the restoration of three Abbeys, and theseparatiou of the Town of Wesel from the Fiendh'Empire. fc These Conditions speak for themselves : they shew how moderate the King baS been in his de- wands, even at this Moment, and haw much the Maintenance of Peace, if France wishes Peace, ; de. lends upon herself. j e The time peremptorily fixed by the King for the decision of Peace or War has elapsed. His Ma jesty has not received the answer of the Cabinet of St. Cloud ; or rather ; the preparation's made around him daily_give that answer. The King can hence forth confide thesafety and honour of his Crown only to arms. He leads to honOurable combat an army worthy its former glory. He reigns over a people.of whom he may be.proud ; and while he is ready to shed his blood for them, he knows what he may et pea from energy and affedion : Princes, the honour bf the ettri.in name, have joined their banners, with his; and a Sovereign who honours with hii virtue One of the firbt Thrones in the world, is penetrated tirith the justness of his cause. his Arms are . blessed by the voice of his people.. With so many Motives to be conscious of her strength, Prussia may be permitted continually to confide in her high des tiny." • -Yesterday Morning at a very early hour, Major DAKIN arrived with dispatches from the Head-quart ters of the PtiBsian Army.

On board the Athenienne there were: several hundreds 'of the French Prisoners taken at the battle, of Maida. Lord . VALENTIA and his Suite were passengers on board of the At henienne. `Yesterday the I'acket arrived from Malta; after a passage of fifteen days. She brings accounts from Sicily of the Ist of September—at which,. time our Army there amounted to 12,000 men; all in' health and high Spirits. Two Regiments were in Calabria to assist the natives against the French, whii have suffered most severely in the last campaign. The number of Prisoners taken by`the English has al" ready amounted to upward of 4700 men; and, at . ,the lowest computation, 6000 more have been killed in the different engagements, as the Cala brians never gave any quarter. General STUART 'was at Malta, on his way to England, when the Packet left that place. • . PALERMO, SEPT. 17.--Genetal Fox arrived here from MeSsina on the sth instant, and sailed again to-day for that place in the Apollo Frigate. lam sorry to inform you, that the French hate amain over-run the whole of the Two Cal#rias, except Scilla, where we have still a Garrison, .but which, though extremelpstrong, I understand it is intetidf:d. to abandon, as the plan - seems now to be to leave Naples and Calabria in quiet possession of the French, and to stand on the defensive in Sicily -= so that we shall have a fine Army of 14,000 men: cooped in this Island doing nothing. I sincerely hope that no more reinforcements will arrive from England, as we have already m ore than double a su ffi cient force for the defensive system. We have undoubted accounts of the Enemy have ing lost by killed, I.vituided, 'and desertion, or pri soners, upwards of.twelve thousand 'Men in less than two months time ; and you may sely.-..uporr it, that an Army of twenty thousand British troops,, an aelive O ffi cer, would cempletelY drive the French out of the whole Kingdom of Naples in afeW'Weeks, so decidedly is the Country in our !favour. All the, intercepted letters from REGNIEB and VERDIER confirm this ; and had our Army appeared off Na ples after the battle of Maida, so great was the pa nic, that King JOSEPH would undoubtedly hate fled from his capital.
