ENDLAND AND PRUSSIA, * *•-
Our Court has caufed the orders
CO capture and dcitroy aft Pruflian vef-
Peace, in India, by a treaty with
Schindich, and the declared inability
of Holkar to continue the war.
The trial of Lord Melville
doled the 18th May } but the Houle
of Lords had not pronounced judg
ment at our laft dates. No particu
lars of the trial had been publiflied.
The Imperial Chequer-plaver,
Napoleon—the rival of the great
Frederick in political chefs—at the
laft date, was moving another of his
men into the King-row; who was
fhortly to be crowned King of Bata
via, with the title of Louis (Bona
parte) I.
The news had been received in
England of the conclufion of a Genefal
MAY 23.
The molt prominent article,in the
lateft papers, is a report, that in confe
quenct of a change in the cabinet of
Berlin, the exifting differences between
Pruffia and Great-Britain were in a
train of accommodation ; and that the
orders to exclude Britifh veflels, from
Pruffian ports had been countermand
ed. Letters from Liverpool, of the
24th May, fpeak confidently of the
amicable, fertlemeoc of the differen
ces j and of the fall of American pro
duce in confcquence :—But our laft
London paper, (May 2id) only (peaks
of the accommodation as probable.—
Letters of Reprifal had been granted
in England againft Pruffian veflels.
Accounts from the continent of
Europe are contradidory. While fome
Bate, that the fword of renewed war
between the French and Auftrians was
ready to be unfheathed j others affirm,
that Auftria had clofed a treaty of alli
ance with France ; by which the for
mer guarantees the immediate evacua
tion of Dalmatia, by the Ruffians ; re
cognizes all the new Kings, Princes,
and Potentates which the Emperor
Napoleon has created j and grants
permiffion for the march of 40,000
French troops through her territory, to
form an entering-wedge in the Otto
man Empire.—This laft news is
doubted.
The Ottoman Porte, and Den
mark, have recently exprefled their de
termination to remain neutral.
Bonaparte has had many portraits
painted of his Confular and Imperial
perfon. It is, however, (aid, that none
have yet done him complete juftice :
the proper artift has not yet been found
to lake Majefty’s head.
Earl Nel (on being now polfeffed
of 50001. per. annum, to.oool. for the
purchafe of a family houfe, and de
mefne, as a renumeration for the great
national fervice of his heroic brother,
has, it is faid, confented in compliance
with one of the lad wifhes of the
founder of his fortune, to refign his
Prebendary of Catenbury in favetar of
the Rev. Dr. Scott.
From the (hallow fophidry ufed
by the King of Pruffia, to varnifh over
his difhonourable condud concerning
Hanover, a punfter obferves, that he
muft be a difciple of the philofophy
of Kent.
A debate of fome length took
place laft night in the Commons, on
the charges brought by Mr. Jeffery,
*the Member for Poole, againd Earl St.
Vincent. The condud of the latter
was ably vindicated by Admiral Mark
ham and Lord Horwick. Mr. Jef
fery’s motion for referring the papers
to a committee was negatived without
a divifion. A new debate afterwards
arofe on the motion of Mr. Secretary

vifion.

the Councils of Pruffia will lead to an
adjuftmetit of the difference between
the two countries.

French privateers who informed Capt. A. that

was to be crowned King ; there were no Rof

Capt. Arnold, from Martinique, informs,
that four French (hips of the line, a frigate,

(the Veteran, on board of which was Jerome
Bonaparte, the Impetoeox, the Eole, the Foo

Admiral Cochrane in the Northamberland,
with a frigate. Before Capt. H. left Martin
ique, Admiral Cochrane, with three (hips of
the line, and feveral frigates, were blockading
the French fhipi.
It was reported, that three more fhips of
the line, and two frigates were daily expeded
at Martinique. At prefent we can-only con
jeflure as to the ctufe which baa occasioned the
feperation of the fleet, to which Jerome Bona
parte waa attached ; we may conclude that the
Reparation has not been voluntary, nor (hall we
be forprized to learn that a battle baa taken
dice, in which the French have been defeated.
Thia fleet confided of 7 fail of the line, and 3
frigates, arriving in thia difperfed manner, does
not look well.

I have juft received from Carac

cans taken by the Spaniards on board
of Miranda’s fchooners—The name of
Smith is twice found in it. I fufpedt
the laft to be the fon of Col. Smith,
and grandfon of Mr. Adams. Al
though I had fome political differences
.with him when he was prefident, this
circumftance has not deprived me of
that particular regard and refpeft to

and particular confederation for his
family. Not the leaft doubt exifts but
the greateft part of the prifoners will
be put to death as pirates, and I would
be very happy to be able, by a timely
and immediate interference, to fave the
life of the unfortunate youth, grandfon
to the venerable Mr. Adams and hit
worthy fpoufe. But, to render my in*
terceflion effeftual, I would require,
as the only condition, that Col. Smith
would difclofe to me, through you, on
his word of honour, all the knowledge
he has of Miranda’s plans, of his in

with whom he had connections in Ca
