Consols . 63 1 1-1 Oninium - - 7i SOLEM QUIS DICEtE FALSUM AUDEAT ? THIS morning the Hemburgh Mail, due or, Sun daylast, arrived. • Its contents are of the highest importance, and fully confirm the opinion we have , - expressed, that the differendes between Prussia and France cannot now be adjusted unless: the former consents to the most degrading and humiliating con cessions. The Courier whose dispatches were ex petted to contain the decision of the question of Peace or War, arrived at Berlin from Paris art ,the - 17th ult. The substance of these Dispatches were not of course Made public; but, from the extraordinary preparations that were made after the arrival'of the Courier, there cart be little doubt that they were of a warlike nature. Colonel KRUSEMARK set out for St. Petersburgh the evening of the day on which the Courier reached Berlin ; and it was generally under. - - stood that HIS PRUSSIAN MAJESTY was to set out to join his Arty on the - 21st ult. The Russian Army are advancing with all possible dispatch to the Prussian Territories : they will pass through Soethern Prussia and Silesia. The negotiations, however, still continue between the Prussian and French-:Gaazern men ts: M. KNOBLESDORF still continues at Parii; and. Al.l.agonET had not left Berlin on the 20th ult.nor had he made any preparation for his departure. ..:13e.. had conferences almost every day with Cii - tfiVt ,ftAUG WITZ. It .is said that BONAPARTE • insisted that the KING of PRUSSIA should cede the whole of his Pos sessions in Westphalia. Baron JACOBI ,KLOEST, the late Prussian, Ambassador at our Court, has left Berlin for Hambureb. We have no doubt-that Hamburg h. is coming over to this Country to resume ,his, situation. Lord MORPETH will, soon reach Berlin, • ._ and we have no doubt that in a very shOrt Cale the' amicable intercourse which has so tong subsisted between the two Countries will be restored. All the movements of the French Armies in Germany indicate 'the expeCtation of an approaching Cam paign : all the soldiers who were disabled by their wounds from a&ive service, were sent across the Rhine; and all the Troops were ordered to be in readiness to march on the 15th ult. The French have not yet evacuated )3rannau. We are sorry to state that the Hereditary Prince. of BRUNSWICK died suddenly on the 26th ult. His Highness was nephew to His MAJESTY. The intelligence from Italy is not very interesting, It was asserted in the late French Papers,: that Cala- • bria had been completely reduced, and that there fore 'orders , had been issued to countermand' the: marching of the Troops who 'were advancing to reinforce the French Army in Naples : voe find, how ever, that large bodies of. French Troops are constant ly passing through. the Papal Dominions into the Neapolitan Territory, , It is also stated, that great ugrabers of Freric soldiers have died of fevers. Some very important Dispatches;`ve =.thi4erStand, were last night sent off by Mr. Scorn, the 11:lessen ger, to Lord LIUDERDALZ. The situation iu which' his Lordshiil has been left by the unexpeEted, depar ture of the French Ruler and'his Minister from Paris, is so new and critical, that the Dispatches sent yes terday will probably determine the period of his 'Lordship's continuance in that Capital. Lord MoarETtr, as we yesterday stated would be the case, went off yesterday afternoon upon his in= teresting mission to Berlin. Mr. MARES, the Mes senger, atteuded his Lordship. WE have received some Philadelphia Papers to the 21 st of August. They are principally filled with violent 'and rancorous abuse against, this Country. It is stated in the Paper of the 18th, that the French Squadron had been seen to the South Ward of Long Island, steering a N. E. course, on the 2d of Aug. The Audacious and the *llona, two .of Sir R. STRACHAN'S Squadron, arrived at Plymouth on Tues day : they came home under jury-mas,ts, having severely in the dreadful gale"-by which that Squadron was dispersed. Mr. C0R1..110, a Spanish Messenger, is arrived in the IPa/singham, Packet, charged with dispatches to our Government. The following Men of War were lying in the Tagus when the Packet sailed: Hiller . - nia, Impetueux, illustrious, Donneol, and Kent, of the Line, and Py/adcs Sloop of War.. The detention a the 'Poisingham Packet at Lis bon, which gave rise to the report of her capture, was owing -to tiff' Commander on that station hav i sent home tl former dispatch by 1--Frigate, in s:cad of sending the Packet m due course. The Writ for the EleCtion of a Member to serge in Parliament for the City of Westminster;rendered vaeint by the death of the Right Hon: C. J. Fox, w;is yesterday morning ,transmitted from the Crown Office.to the High Bailiff fur Westminster. 'HE HAfrIBURGH tERIAN, SEPT. 20.—The Courier who wag. ex petted with so much impatience, and who brings the answer to4the proposition which M. De KNo- BELSBORF was charged o make to the Court of France, at length arrived here on Wednesday the 17th inst. at one in the afternoon ; .and Lieutenant- Colonel KiLVSEMP RIC set out the same day, at three o'clock, for St. Petersburgh. We learn by the Dis patches which this Courier has brought, that his Majesty the Emperor NAPOLEON demanded that his Prussian Majesty should cede the whole of West phalia as well as the Country of Meuck. The Guards set out this day the Gardes-du-corps will follow to-morrow. ' The Hereditary Prince of SAXE COBOVR G ac companies the KING tb the Army. A. Courier, arrived from Paris, has brought advice that the Marquis Ix CCIIESIN I had left Paris; and that he would probably arrive here in four or five days. M. -13gAuLtzu,Aid-de-Carnp to Marshal Butt- TRIER, arrived here some days since, charged, it is said, to demand of our Court the cause of its arma ments. This Officer, it is thought, will set out on his return to-morrow. His arrival has given occa sion to several conferences between Count HAuo wrrz and the French Minister. Baron DE licost KLO L ST set out yesterday morn,. ing for Hainburgh. We learn that 3' considerable corps of Russian Troops has received permission to traverse Southern Prussia and Silesia; and that Gen. Cni,Enow4Y, at Warsaw, has received orders to condua this corps. His Majesty will set out to-morrow, without fail, for the Army. The Cabinet and all the Aides;de . Camp of the Sovereign will follow him immediately, The'Cabinet Minister, M. DE HAuawiTz, will join the King, on Monday, at the headquarters. •.. No preparations have yet been observed at the hotel of the French Ambassador for the departure of that Minister. The Conferences between Count HAUG\VITZ and him continue as usual. Auosavagu, SEEr. 13.,-The report that Bivn, nail was given up on the 6th of this month to the Austrians is .without foundation. The Fren..ch Army occupies its former position in Bavaria and Swabia. A small Camp of Bavarian Troops is forming near Wertingen. ERLANGEN, SEPT. 26. --Every thing rgain as stimes a warlike appearance. The French Troops are drawing together in different places, The French Minister at War, Duke BElrrgipi, is exp.e6ted At Amberg, where he will fix his headluarters.

The Troops have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to march on the 15th. BANKS OP :RE MAINE, SEPT. 16.—For some days pist the French Troops on the Rhine and the Maine have been making moVements which indicate More than a .simple dislocation. lii the night between the 14th and 15th, a considerable park of artillery and a number of caissons passed through Frankfort, and. crossed the Maine. On the i tith. the Ist Battalion of the 24th Re.gionent of the. Line, Which far 3 month past has bee,' in garrison at Frankfort, left that City, after 5Q cartridgeS had been distributed" to every soldier.

A corps of 152,000 4 men will set out in a few days from Mentz for the right bank . of the Rhine. His Majesty the Emperor NAPOLEON is expe&ed in that City, where preparations are making for his recep tion. ' • The French Troops continue to pass through the Pontifical States int' Calabria.

Ind Mr. BOND, who laid before His NIA.I;STY the proceedings of several Courts, Martial.---Soon.after live o'clock His MAJESTY Set off on .his return to Wiudsor. Viscount S/WIQUTEI attended as President of the Council, but, we understand, was not of de clared.to that office, owing, it is supposed, to a point of respedful etiquette of Lord Fio.t,LAND to the me mory of his beloved Uncle, not to accept the Privy Seal till after his _funeral, The appointment of it WHITBREAD to the office cif Secrgary, at War was not declared yesterday. His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, and•his Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE, are ex peaed tewn on• Sunday next. Their Royal Highnesses' the Dukes Of YORK and CAMBRIDGE are expected in town on Saturday from the Duke of RUTLAND's seat, in Iluckingliainshire. - His koyal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND returned to town yesterday evening from Windsor. On account of the easterly winds prevailing at some seatons of the year, by which many transports with troops, and other vessels, homeward bound, are kept otl the Islands of Scilly, beating about in die. tress for want of provisions, for-several weeks, it is said that a fleet of victuallers are to be laden and sent with salt provisions and other necessaries, to be landed at St. Mary's, one of the Islands of Scilly, for, the use of such ships, vessels, and their crews, as may be obliged to take shelterthere, and to form a depot of provisions, to be always kept up to a cer tain quantity, in cases of necessity ; a most salutary measure, as many. homeward-bound vessels have • been kept a long time in the Chops of the Channel by the, easterly winds, and do not bear away 'fig Scilly, for fear their wants may not be supplied there, and have often arrived at Plymouth in a corn partitively starving state. THE THEATRE.—The fine historical Drama of Henry the part the ,first, again drew a very numerous audience last night to Covent... Garden Thearre.,—The charaaer of Hotspur was admirably performed by Mr. KEMBLE. It was throughout an animated as wel l l as a correct performance,: the warmth of his feelings he threw forth triatiy novel beauties, none of which lost their effea oti the audience: His eager hope that he saw the dead body of the King, and concern when he found it was that of Sir 11 7 alter Blunt, 'a man whoni he esteemed, were expressed with the skill of a Master. Faistqf of STEPHEN KEMBLE; we repeat, is the best that has been seen since the days of HEN, DERSON. He understands the text full as well as. that lamented Actor, and he supports the character with a degree of humour that has a strong efle6l upon the audience. He also fills up the 'pauses in the scenes' with diverting and chara&eristic dumb shezu.---CtiAk.Es X.EMIILE% Prince (f' Ir7les was easy and spirited. The Afterpiece was The Citizen. Mrs. CHARLES KEMBLE (late Miss DE CAMP) made her first appearance at this.',Uheatre in the part of Maria. She was received on her entrance with a general and iervent burst of applause, and she per formed the eharaaer with great vivacity and humour. Mr. MELVIN did not rise up to the expeaatlon, 'which he had excited by his performance of roikag', Philpot. He followed the steps of BANI , 4MR 'too directly, and yet was but tame upon the whole..--;.. MyNDEN's , Old Philpot Was quite a Caricature in dress and, aaing, nor was lie consistent in did latter point ; for sometimes he spoke with the feeble tones, of extreme age, and at others with the vigour of meridian life. Jt is much to tn. regretted that Sir Jdry Dunstan is no more, as that ,flower of . knight4ood would be a very proper person to be offered as a Candidate for the City of Westminster by the present levelling opponents of Earl PERCY. A prank, played by some of the Eton scholars,K has occasion ; not a little talk in that neighb'ocir;.' hood. Four of them, each carrying his piece, got one evening into Windsor Park. Their tiring soon brought as many keepers round The lady, Climbing fences, where the keepers,' , who Wlre on horseback, could hot follow, got down to the ther, Warp to an island in the. middle of it, there red themielves, and finally gained in safety the oppolite bank. Enquiries have been made in Yak) after theinvenile culprits. NA VA L NEWS. PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 30.—Arrived the S hip Ely= SiOnF„Ogpildoll, SARMON, laden with staves, pot.
