We have not yet noticed any movement 4inong the French' Troops on the Frontiers of Saxony, but they are continually receiving reinforce ments from Franconia. 'DRESDEN, SEPT. 23.—Every thing around us assumes a more warlike aspe&'every day. The 'for tress of Konigstein is put in the best state of defence possible. The Corps •of 20,000 Saxons, under the command' of the Duke of SAX WEIMAR, has ef, fe&ed a jiniEtion with the PruSsian Troops, But notwithstanding all these dispositions, the Negotia tions are carried on between our Cabinet and the Envoys of France and Prussia. • MENTZ, SEPT. 29.—Tfie Emperor, and Empress of France arrived yesterday in this City. Their Ma jesties were ireceded by the Grand Duke of BERG, and Prince BOKGRESE. Prince JEROME BONAPARTE arrived with them, and Prince BENEVENTO imme diately after them. Several Marshals and Generals have also arrived. As soon as the Emperor arrived he inspected-'the Fortifi,cations and reviewed the Gar rison. The Grand Duke of BERG has left this city with Marshal AUGEREAU, for Frankfort. A great number of French troops are continually passing through the last-mentioned City, coining partlY from the Upper and Lower Rhine; among others are the Imperial Guards. All the Corps of the Grand Army, who were in Suabia and ',Bavaria, are, marching to Franconia,. MANHEIM, Se r. 25.---The French artillery from the le,terior of Swabia; that was to pass the Rhine at Strasburg is aaually on the: march from Wirtembil for the, Lower Rhine. Several divi sions of French _troops have lately arrived in the Grand Duchy .of Baken and the lower districts of the Neckdr. There has been much movement on the opposite bank of the 13.itine • foi. some days past. Ail the horses and carriages in the vicinity have been put in .requisition for. transporting the Imperial Guard this day at Oggersheim. The Empeior hithself is ex peeled to -pass at the same place in a few days; of course all the Postmasters on the road have been pro hibited from letting any of their horses during the Etukror's passage. FRANKFORT, SErr. 27.-- 7 -The Prince Primate, our gr.icious 'Sovereign, arrived here on the 25th ; as has als ) M. FicnouviLLE, the French Minister at his Court. Marshal LEFEr,v L's advanced guard quitted its cantonments uison , the Taubar on the 25th, and has taken the route through Wurtzburgh to wards Oberland. The main body is expected to Letters from the Left Banl. of the Rhine say, that a Camp is to be formed in the neighbourhood of Kreutznach. The Prusiian Army is now posted in several divi sions, from the frontiers of East Friesland to those of &,hernia. Its right is commanded by General BLUCHER, and keeps up a communication with Ge neral RUCHEL ; the centre is _under the Duke of Bitui:swicE.; and the left is commanded by Prince Hot-111 , 11,mi E. . _ _ Act o: ding to letters froM Saxony, the 'Prussian advanced posts already occupy the frontiers of the Country of Aleinungen; on the side of -Franconia.. „AMSTERDAM, OcT. t.--As the population ofour City may easily favour desertion, the Municipality have passed a Decree, iniposing a penalty' of fitty florins upon every person harbouring or concealing a deserter.

A Eench Courier from Mentz is arrived here with a letter from the Emperor for our Sovereign. NAPLES, SEPT. 12.—Mir.: have received intelli gence from Palermo of the 20th ult. The Court 'was then evremely uneasy in consequence of the ill success of its late attempts, to raise the kingdom of Naples in its Favour—being•now convinced it will nu more be able to kindle the flame of revolt: The Heads, of the misses sent upon this business, and , who had made such greet yrumi-ies, had returned to Sicily, there to seek an iiSylutn and a cover from the bayonets of thesFrench. King FERDINAND think'3 of nothing but hunting and fishing, occupations which console hint fey: his lo&es. In the mean while a COUrier has arrived Flom London, which has occasioned an extraordinary sitting of the Council— !! upon the breaking up,,, of which -symptoms of despair were not . equivocal. Ditfcretl-t reports been circulated through the City ; bat that which gains the most credit is, that the Cabinet of St. .fame.-;'s has de - dared to CAROLINE, lhat it continues the Negotiations for Peace, and that it will pro bablyverY soon effeta its desired obje& ; that Peace was 'necessary to England;, and that, -in order to obtain it;England would be obliged to abandon some of its pretensions. From that moment, it is said; that the Court has been making preparations for its departure._ The 'English have not more than 8000 troops ; those under FERDINAND dO not amount to 6000.- All, of them long to return to their .homes ; and the Naval Force is still more con temptible.' A detachment that 'had formed" a part of the garrison of Gaeta, and of ,his Majesty King FER DINAND'S Palatine guard, had the temerity to join. .a wretched horde of Rebels upon the Coast of Palinura, and that in contempt of the capitulation. They bad at their head GUARIGLTA, a Chief of one of the Masses. As a rallying point they fixed upon Catharotta, in the Province of Salerno; their • retreat towards the sea- was easy from this .place, and there they had taken great pains to intrench , themselves. This villaze is situated upon an mi. venue, three sides of which are enclosed by a pre cipice four- hundred feet hip. One side only is open; and to defend it, they had raised a wail with • towers and :tubrasures, and seven pieces of cannba. General LAMARQUE collealed all the troops under his orders, at Cevola ; and on September the Ist, he marched to. Camarotta ; the' rain fell in tor rents ; but, in spite ,of the weather, the General recaarked that the wall; to the left of the village, did nut exceed seven Or eight feet in height. Thi ther he dispatched Colonel DuFooft, while Co rona GRETZ moved ' i9war6. the right, and ,the Chef de Battalion, M. CAPITAINE, approached the only gate that was not walled up. The Chef de Battalion LUCAS commanded the advanced guard, which was preceded by the sappers, who were or dered to destroy the gate with their axes. Lastly, to cut the Rebels oft from every possibility of re treating, tWo detachments shewed themselves, one' upon the direft road, and the other near a wood. The Rebels made a." terrible discharge, which the French were unable to return;, in consequence, of the rain.. Nothing, however, could restrain the French, who arriN,:d close under the wall. The Grenadier TURRENAC, a Member of the Legien of Honour, got up-to a-window, frohl whence lie jump ed into the place ; be was followed by the grena dier VoIsIN, of 'the sth Regiment ; at -the same time PICTOR, 'a Corporal in the sth Regiment, en tered it another way. The gates were by'that time destroyed by the sappers, and the troops entered catnarotta in good order.. At the sight of the French, the Rebels lied in a dastardly manner. Some of them attempted to save themselves by' jumping off the 'wail and flying towards the sea, where the 'Vessels from Sicily wel - e tbr them ; but M. BalGors, Aid-de-Camp to Gerle ral LAmmto.uE,overtook the Rebels, and got posses sion of the two barks; which he sunk., The ban ditti who had taken refuge on this side were either killed or drowned. Wre had only eleren wounded, including Captain MONTCHOISI, Lieutenant ATAtttcrLE, and the Sub- Lieutenants PANACHON S and .DE MAI% Carna rotta, which the Rebels call Little. Caeta, is in our handS, as are also the seven pieces of cannon which defended it. ' On the 27th of August,- at ten in the morning, an English ~Ship of War appeared in the water of Majori, and was soon. after joined by a Ship of the Line, four Sloop's, and two Boats. On board one of these Vessels, we are told, was the famous CRESCENZIO ANTUOnI, a noted Brigand. and who hoisted the ancient Royal Colours. They were afterwards joined by four more Sloops. A descent was, no doubt, the Enemy'S obje& ; but the Com mandant of the Civic Guard, and a Captain of Light Infantry, who were present, prevented this by getting their troops under arms without delay, and posting them at the most important stations which the Enemy seeing, thought proper to retire. The Enemy is still at Capri, where there is a Corps of about three hundred men, mostly insur gents.. The Island of Tromita, though long be sieged by the .English, remains in our hands. A body of four hundred Italians, and four barks, with provisions, lately got in thew. The had weather frequently obliges the English Vessels . to withdraw. The relief of Tremita has done .much honour to Cosso, who condu6ted it, notwill-istaud ing his Vessels were pursued, and several times fired upon by the English. Th e famous CLEMENT D'ANGELIS, one of the Chiefs of the insurreilion at Casa Mayeiana, esuped . from the hands of justice while they were remov ing him from Castellone to Naples ; but divine justice again overtook him---he was seized at Ari (into, and immediately condemned'hy the Military Commission at Naples. We hope the severity or the laws, and his Majesty's clemency, will finally open the eyes of those deluded people. However, they s continue in their% secret practices, and we confess, with regivt, that a nurni - Jer of respeaable persons are implicated. A conspiracy has just been discovered, at Lecce, which had its focus at Tarenta, and which extended through the neinbouring countries as fat' as Gallipoli. This conspiracy - had a number of Chiefs, who have been arrested, and, among others, M:JOSEPH DE LA CRO . CE; akid the GOvernot EMMANUEL Irrot.m. • Notwithstand4ig the respe& due to their quality they have been comniitted to prison. These arrests have occasion ed the failure of every attempt, and . the. English, teeing their accomplices in prison, have retired with precipitation. LrGnoior,SEPT. 16.—An Privateer`, of eight guns and thirty-six. men, which put in here through stress. of weather, has been s&zed. Two cannon shots from the Mole induced her to strike her colours. Yesterday another Privateer experienced the same fate. FriANE.VORT, SEPT.! merchnnts who wee heilding large quantities of goods to, Hesse, having written to the Ele&tor'to knob now to ad, have received for answer, that with the . assis;anee of an armed force he trig in hopec qf preserving his nen of the inecelimts, however, have sent their wares. to Fraukfort.-. L 0 N 1) 0 N, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1806, Wt received this. morning Dutch Paper.F to the Bth inst. It appears that hostilities have not yet commenced between France. and Prussia ; but as the Advanced Posts of their Armies are now close to each other, they cannot, we think, be long delayed. The Dutch Government are making ex traordinary preparations ; but they appear to be entirely for the purpose of defence. The Pri vate Letters from Holland all concur in stating - , that the people manifest the most marked repug- nance to take anus in defence of a Government under which they experience every species of insult and oppression. Kih,g - Louis has, hoWever, 'con trived to extract from his- new Subjeas a loan of fifteen millions of florins. • The Letters from Naples contain accounts of some further successes pf the French over. the Loyalists ; these accounts are evidently very inaccurate, but we are sorry 'to say that they tend, strongly to :confirm the opinion we expressed some days ago, viz. that,there was. no foundation for the report of the British Troops having obtained another VV.:tory in Naples, and that MASSENA had been wounded, ex c. No particulars respeaing the tiring on Wednes-: day night off Boulogne, which uie ine.;lioned yester- day, had reached the Amiraity when this Nper was put to Press. The firing continued till five o'clock on Thursday morning, and was the etTea cf an periment to set fire to the Enemy's Vic,tilla . by new invenied Carcase Reckets. We have reason to hope that this . .Experiment succeeded to a Lreat degree, and we trust that we shall be able to give a good at.- count of It on Monday. It will afford pleasure to our Readers to learn that Baron JACOBI is returned to this Capital, a proof that amicable relations, if not fully restored . between this CoUntry and Prussia, are in a very fair train for so desirable an event. The Baron came immediately from Hamburgh in' the Diana Packet, Captain MACDONALD, who had rec.eived orders to sail up the Elbe to receive his Excellency. It does not appear that the Baron has brought any account of the commencement ofhostilities between Prussia and France, though it was expected every moment that the important blow would be struck. Indeed it seems hardly possible to suppose that the KING of PaussxA will again shrink from the contest, since he has .found that In° concession he could make would satisfy the ambition of the Frenfh Usurper, and that - it would, on the contrary, be more apt to increase in proportion to the atteMpts made to ap pease it. The KING of PRUSSIA has Leen insulted as well as injured, and he.must sink in the estima tion of his own subjeas, as well as of all mankind, if be were to submit any longer to the arrogance and rapacity of his Enemy. It is well known, froth all accounts, that a War against France would be ,highly popular in the Prussian Dominions, and that the Prussian Troops are anxious to try their strength .with those who have been confidently re- prt;sented as . the best in the world. 'has 'endeavoured to intimidate Prussia by announcing that het will bring into the field a.greater number of Troops than he was bound to do by the ;stipulations of the Rhenish Confederation, and he has already called upon his Vassal States to , supply their Coti tingents, in order, if possible, by one decisive stroke, to overwhelm his adversary. But we know that Prussia has been most naive in her preparations , and that she will very soon have the powerful suppott of Russia and Sweden. It cannot be expeaed that the States who have been compelled to join in the Confederation of the Rhine will engage heat tily in 'the cause of tONIA PMITE, beCauSe his success will only rivet their chains, and place them in a state of hopeless sub. BoNAPAIITE seiviency and bondage. Nor can he rely upon the neutrality of Austria, who, however reasonably she may be offended with Prussia, cannot wish for the dawnfall of the latter., as.that could only lead to her own destruction. Both States must now, from bitter experience, see the necessity of putting an end to all jealous rivalry, and of cordially . uniting against atv Enemy Nyho is anxious to derive increased power , from their common ruin. Much has been appre hended from the rapid system of BONAPARTE in al his military operations ; but it cannot be supposed that the Prussian Generals ,have gazed idly upon the progress of his arms, and the means of his success, and are so obstinately wedded to their old tactics as not to improve by the example and the triumphs of their adversary. Upon the whole, unwilling as we are to predia events, after the various disappoiAt rnents of the best concerted plans, and the faires views, which the world has seen, we are still inclined to augur very favourably of the pre, sent state of things on the Continent, and to in,. dulge the hope that insatiable ambition and uq• controllable arrogance are likely to experience the inconstancy of fortune, and to endure that hurnilk, ation which all mankind have so long and so eagerly , desired to see burst forth and give repose to, Zu, rope. after the receipt of the Dispatches by the list. Messenger from France, orders were, sent by the Telegraph tol).ortsmouth, Plythoutb, and Falmouth, for all the Expeditions to sail. _ - . The KING . has issued an order-of Council per. mittiug for six months the invortalion of 'several, articles of proviqions duty. free. Another order has been also issof.d authorising the importation, into, and the exportation from Rhode harbour, in the Island of Tortola, of various articles, • The four German Regiments who have been . so long on ship-board at Portsmouth, have been ordered to disembark, and match to Winchester. Eight hundred' of the Troops taken ozi board the Frigates captured by Sir S. Hoop %vere landed at Plymouth on Wednesday—they are all young men, from 22 to 28 year of age, and most of them are Swiss and Germans, who were compelled to embark on„board the Frigates. They expressed a strong wish to be permitted to enter into the German Le gion. Prince ESTEIItiAZY, came to England in the last Packet from Husum. JEROME BONAPARTE has not only been created a Prince, but a Rear4kdmiral, on account of his merits in his late cruize. According to the last accounts of the, present stare of Peru, that Country is of easy access from Buenos Ayres, and, with Chili and Paraguay, may be maintained by a superior Naval Force against all the world. On the Northern Boundary it is separated from New Grenada by forests and inac cessible mountains, several hundred miles in extent. Our Readers will be pleased to hear, that Sir S.

EHRENBREITSTEIN, SEPT. 27.—Though the Prus sian and Saxon troops have by this time reached the points'of their deStination, the French Grand Army seems not yet formed, but to wait for the amazing reinforcements on their way from France. In the mean while, we ,observe great movements among the troops, 'which will doubtless increase when the Emperor NAPOI.LON places himself at their'head. ERLANGEN; SEi-r. 26.—The various French troops in Swabia and Blvaria are all in motion towards Franconia. Marshal SOULT'S corps, consisting of 36,000'inen, which had been left to occupy Bran• nap, and present a front towards the4strian States, it 'is also said, is to leave Bavaria and Issenible near Herschbruck. ,Instead of Marshal SouLT's ,corps it is understood that the whole of the Bavarian troops are to term Army of Observation towards the Austrian Tronticr. Several thousind French troops have assembled .in our vicinity. Upward's of 5 000 were yesterday at Nuremberg; and the heady• qu#ters of Marshal BERTHIER ere expe6ted. to be fixed there. There is also a report that Nuremberg is to be made a military depot. In fine, the whole force which will be collcaed 'in the territory of Nkemberg and Anspach, it is supposed, will exceed . 60,000 men. It is understoOd that a park of Artil lery Will be formed near St. Peter's, on the road, to Fettcht, upon the Nuremberg territory. _TheFrench increase in their numbers upon, the Frontiers of rulda and The following Letter was sent by the King of PRUSSIA to General VON KIRSCHFELDT, dant of the Royal Guards at i'otzdarn " Though it was my first intention to come to Porzdam to-morrow, to be present when the talions march out, I have been obliged to wave my design, on account of several temporary affairs and business which have intervened.

What I have a right to ex pee. of them, and the high degree of confidence which I have placed. to thew, - have long, been known to each individual : I shall therefore not repeat it.— Hitherto the Prussian Army has known how to. preserve its glory—it will not suffer it to sink new. But if we can obtain our objett without the sword— that is to say, the necessary security .of our own and the neighbouring States, so much the better-- otherwise, rather than batter themselves with the vain, though honourable, hope of peace, I shall ex pea that each of these States will think of distin guishing itself still more; for the general welfare, against the Enemy.
