LONDON,
TUESDAY, SIFT/NUR 30.

The Hamistugh Mail, due on Sunday se'nnighr,
and that due en Wednesday last, arrived yesterday,
with Letters and Papers to the 20th. On the Itch
inst. the whole Prussian army of Silesia, amounting
to 30,0110 men, u4der Prince HOH alumna, crossed
the Elbe, near Dresden ; and the French troops, at
the same date, were concentrating themselves in
the neighbourhood of Bayreuth and Coboargit.—
From the proximity of these 21.sces, it is pro-
bable that a blow has been struck before this
time. It is said, that a Russian army of 130,000
men has arrived on the confine; of Silesia.
Private letters add a report, that the Emperor of
RLsssa has taken possession of Prussia Pruner, and,
even Konigsberg itself, as a security that Prussia
will aCt in concert with the allies, in the approach-
ing war. Of the co-operation of Saxony and Hesse
in the common cause, no doubt was ever enter-
tained. The troops of both these powers are in I
motion. Those of the former amount to 23,000 men.
The Austrians, in the mean time, are not idle.
By the great exertions of the Archduke CHARLES,
the Austrian army has been placed on the most
respeaalde footing. A considerable Park of Artil-
lery is established near Brunn, and prodigious
quantities of ammunition and stores have also been
collated. The I-lamburgh Papers also furnish
a new proof of the fraud and diplomatic dexterity
of BONAP•Str B. The signing of D'Ouseies treaty,
at Paris, and the confident anticipation of its ra-
tification by the Emperor ALEXANDER, were
industriously cirzulated over the Continent, by the
hhtwspaper Agents and Emissaries of France. The
wily Corsican hoped by this means to pocsrss him-
self before-hand of all the advantages stipulated
by the treaty ; and, in order to encourage the delu-
sion, it was reported from every quarter of Ger-
many, that the French troops had received orders
to return home, while not a sing)... move-
ment was made in the direction of France.
miless as a feint to favour the artifice. In this
state of thing., the Austrian General, BLLL t-
GA R DS, presence! before Cattaro, and
summoned the place to surrender; but the Russian
Commandant knew his duty, and atied v.ith due
csution.—He threatened to treat the Austrians as
e::emies, should they attempt a I.sn,:ing ; and Cc..

neral Best.toasnk I:riving failed in tire o;j 4 of li's

the French Government, in the success cf ci. s
stratagem, may be ascribed the .nurnerows reps.-;
of the anual surrender of CAtt4to WV, to
good an opinion of Austria, however humbled as,{
reduced, to rap pose, that by senchng this force, and
by making this summons, she wished to extent a pre.
mature surrender of the place. She could ha%
only meant to preserve her honour, a;.d kvep faith
with the French Government.

The Kangaroo sloop of war, Captain lIAKER, ar.
rived in the Downs at one o'clock, on Sunday, I rom
Boulogne, having on board Mr. JOHNSON, the Mes-
senger, with dispatches from the Earl of LC;DEI•
DAI.a. Mr. JOHNSON landed at Deal. at two
o'clock, and set out immediately for London. He
arrived in town at two o'cicck'yesterday morning.
The arrival of a Messenger occasioned no material
alteration in the funds. —Ornniarn was 71, and
Consols 631. On Saturday, they left off at 7:,
and Consols at 631. This slight depreciation was at-
tributed to a report contained in our Deal letter, that
BONA PARTE and T•L [YOUNG) have departed from
Paris, tc join the army destined to contend with the
Prussians.
BON•PARTC having takes TALLMAN° with
him, it should seem as if be welted to be as stir-
cessful over Prussia as he was over Austria, and
mule sure of enabling his Minister TA L LEVI AWD to
negotiate a peace as humiliating to the Cabinet of
Berlin, as the peace of Preslitrigh was to the Cabinet
of Vienna.
About two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held
at Viscount Ilowicit's Office, upon the dispatches
brought by Mr. Junisson.—lt was attended by all
Vie Cabinet Ministers in town.—Tbe Council sat
until four o'clock.

hurricane on the 19th of August ; and also the
Decade frigate, Capt. Sr ua sr, belonging to the

under Sir kticH•a• Sr a scums, also suffered con-
siderably at the same time.

In our subsequent cohinins ws l bE found a Report
of a Meeting of the Freeholders of Hampshi e, he'd
at Winches:er on the 25th instant. It will be read
with interest by every man who regards our liberties
and constitution. The people of England always
entertained a high opinion of the honour and good
sense or Lord GkEti VI IL ; his recent conduct has en-
deared him to their all'aniroons, as a Nobleman of the
most disinterested views, and unbounded liberality.
Wishing, most sincerely, that his Lordship may
continue to deserve and maintain that exalted chap
raaer, we hope is hear no more of Earl Taunt's
improper isterfertnee with our constitutional rights,
and the elelive franchise. Earl Teams is his
Lor.:ship's nephew.
