THE private Letters 'from' the 'Continent, fvhich have been 'received by the ,last Mail; concur in stating' that' the warlike preparations throughout the Prussian dominions are most eLtensive, and are cat ried on with the Utmost aEtivity. On the sth inst. M. DE:l3okm, win? is 'attached to the Prussian Em ' hassy at. Paris, arrived at Berlin with Dispatches. ! Very soon after his arrival orders Were.issuled for plaoing the whole of the Prussian Army upon the War Establishment. Nothing is known, with any degree ;of .certainty, of -the causes_, which induced . , His PRUSSIAN- MAJESTY to adopt this strong mea sure. It is veryobvioas that the confederation of the 'Rhine, and the deposition- of the EMPEROR of GER NAN-Y, must harp been subje&s not only of uneasiness, bu.i of alarm to His PRUSSIAN MAJESTY; for although it has long.been a favourite, and indeed almost a leading objb& of the Cabinet of - Berlin,. to wrest the Imperial . Diadem .from the House of Austria, yet that was only in the hope that the choice of the , leCtors would, of course, devolve upon the House ,of BRANDENEURGH. But the Confederation oftbe- Rhine, under the ProteClion of' BONAPARTE, com pletely destroys that : hope, and instead of forming plans of anranditernent, the KING of PRUSSIA will now find liis poWer scarcely sufficient to prote& his own Dothinions. It is said, indeed, , that other - causes have contributed very consi-, derably to . ..induce His PRUSSIAN MAJESTY to depart. from his. general :system of policy, and to assume, for once, ,the appearance of decision and energy ; for if private Letters are to be depended upon, M. DR Bonm was the bearer, of a Proposition, from the French Governtnenti that the LING of PRUSSIA should restore Hanover to Great Britain in the eyent, of a Peace being signed between the lqt~ ter and France, and also 'that he :should consent to some cessions of Territory inWestphalia. What com pensation , Prussia was 'to -receive for these sacrifices is not stated ;' but'ilsuch a Proposition was made, it cwtAinly was . catc - ulated 'to excite a very strong - sen..- , satien in-the Prussian Cabinet, because it would tend to (14prive the.KING of PRUSSIA of the only reward which he obtained .for,betraying his 01,1'n interests, and . abandoning.the cause of 'Europe. We-do not pretend to vouch for.thee..-..curacy 7 of this statement ;4 , but it is certain that a very large Prussian .Arrny is assembling ip Han . Over. .Crixhariert was evacuated by the Prussian Troops On the 15th, and the Garri son, proceeded, by forced marches, to join the!Army -in Hanover, Another -Prussian Army is collecting Gil .hi frontiers Of S.-axony, and. the :Garrisons of Magdeburgh, Erfurth, and several other places, have been strongly reinforced. , TilE•Lette, - s brought by the Lisbon Mail, which arrived yesterday, do nc4 confifm the reports which haVe been for soap 'time circulated respe.aing the probable invasion of Portilgal, or thp dismember ofSpain, either by French or Spanish Troops. t;?..-it 'thcifp. measures. are, in conteMplation we have .no doubt. - IN'e stated some time ago, upon authority on which we --know we ,can 'place reli znice, that very 'early in the present Negotiation, 'BONAPARTE . distinaly . avowed that such were his intentions, in the event of the, continuance of the. War'; and the formidable Arniament which Ministers have thought it expedient to send to the Tcgus, very strongly- to confirm our statement.
