FT is fvith the moist .shicer6 satisfa6tion we find that a change has taken place in the Councils of fruslia, which, wetrust, will be. followed by a corn ple.te abandonment of that system of policy Which, unfortunately lbr all Indepen4ence and happiness of, I Z/Trope, the Cabinet of Berlin recently adopted.— . Count HAUGWITZ, whose devotion to the cause of France, and 'whose hokility to Ibis Country, are no torious, has retired from the Prussian Ministry, and we hOpe for ever. This intelligence was brought by the Hambargh Mail, which arrived last night.= It is stated in'a letter frorn Berlin, that' His Prussian Majesty has ,lately held several Councils for•the pur pose of considering the probable effcas of the hos, tile - measures adopted against. this Country. Count 1-14uowiTz, of course, advised his Sovereign to perse vc-re in them; but Count KELLER,Who has lately been appointed 3d Minister of State, succeeded ih convinc ipg His Majesty not. only of the injustice, but of the lmpolicy of the acts of aggression committed againk Great Britain. His arguments, we have no doubt, received additional weight from the very unequivo marks of dis Content which have lately been mani fested by almost all classes of persons throughout the sasian Dotninlons.: His-Prussian Mztjesty having :::•solved to ;let in cOtlformity with the advice of Count Kir.i.LE,directad him to tali'e such steps as he thought moq likely to 'effect w a reconciliation between Gnat Prussia.

'Connt HAUGWITZ, as We stated on a former occasion, is not the. only Member of the Prussian Mi nistry devoted. to • the interests of France T. M. LOMBARD, it is perfectly well -known, strenuous ly supported the adoption of hostile measures against this Country.. We hope, however,. that His Prus sian Majesty will not - *again listen to advice Whig' is as incompatible with his , own honour as it is with the interests of his Subjects, but that he will adopt the measures recol - nmended by Count' KELLER for effecting - a reconcrliatibn Gr-€at Britain. We cannot -avoid, . upon this occasion,. again paying ,a I just- tributeof applause to the wisdom and energy dis 7 . played by the British Government upon this occasion, and we are convinced that as they were,pronipt to resent unprovoked aggression, So they will-be equal- - ly ready to contribute their efforts to the. restora , tion of, harmony between the two Countries, if it can be done consistently with the honour and inte . 'rests of "great Britain. In addition , to, .the . intelli Bence brought by the Mail, Of the pacific disposition manifested by his PRUSSIAN MAJESTY towards Great Britain, we Itre .happy to state, tipcin the authority of priirate information of the first that there is every probability that, the difference -be, tween Prussia and Sweden may be amicably adjusted. The KllsiG of PRUSSIA' has written to ' the KING of ..SWEDEN, expressing his regret at the hostile steps taken by the latter, and assuring him that- he had' no hostile intentions towards . Sweden. In answer to this Letter, His Swedish Majesty stated, that as soon as the PrUssian Trqops evacuated the Eleelarate _of Hanover, and the restriecions: upon• British Commerce Were taken off, he would discontinue all - hostilities .against Prussia. The intelligence from the South of Europe is of a. very contradictory; nature: the report of .the Rus sians having evacuated Cataro 'is again revived, but we do not think it entitled to any, credit; It is also said, that the differences between Austria • and France,are completely settled, and that a Treaty of Alliance between the two Countries is likely to be concluded. . , . . , • J. Lard HENRY PETTY gave a statement last night, in the House of Commons; of . negligenee, abuse; and peculation in Public Accounts, particularly those of a Military kind, which will excite the surprise as welt as theindignation of the Public. It appears , that the late excellent Minister, notwithstanding all the arduous duties of his situation, produced by an unexampled state of afiliirs in all Europe, and the necessity of protecting this Country from similar dangers and disasters, was fully aware of the shame ful grounds of complaint which the 'Noble Lord last night brought forward,, and had adopted measures for putting an end to them.

The King is said to be so impress edwith the propriety of Count KELLER'S reasoning as to haVe desired him to suggest the means he thought most likely to lead to reconciliation, and to avert . froM his - subjects the - evils which threatened them. HAudw Cri, it is said, has felt so much hurt at - this, that he demanded leaVe to retire for ,a few weeks to his estate in Silesia ; which ,has been granted. , The first step taken by Count KELLER, hasbeen to send orders to all the Prussian ports in the Baltic, not to obstruct the •entrance or departure of any British Ships, but to - treat them in a friendly manner.— ( Ila»iburgh, Gorrespondentea,.of the IGth'of May.) BRANDENBURGH, MAY 14.—Orders are received at Stetted Colberg, and other Prussian Ports in the Baltic, not to oppose in any measure the entrance of English Ships ; but, on tiw contrary, to receive them -in the most friendly manner. it is expe6ted that Prussia.will yet take other measures advantageous to England, from which it is concluded that a good understanding will shortly tie re-established between the two Courts. _ VIENNA , ~111,tY ANDREOSSY left this city yesterday.

It has even renounced all systems of neutrality in the event of France being engaged in' a war' with any Power Whatever on account of these innovations, and it has engaged to aa with effective hostility against all Powers that may make war with France on ac count thereof.
