THE BRITISI.I PRESS.

LON DON.
FRIDAY, Ocr oat it 17.

The Hamhurgh Mail due on Wednesday. ar-
rived yesterday with letters and Papers to the 1t th
instant. We have also received Dutch Papers to
.the,Aath, being one day later than those received on
'tnesday last, containing the Paris news of the iOth.
.The latest intelligence from the expetted theatre ttf'
war is the 6th. at which time no
struck. This. however, is not derisive
against the report brought to Dower by the. Pilots
from of the 'frail, stating the adual commence-
ment of hostilities between Prussia and France.—
An account of an aline fought on the 7th or Sth
might have reacheelthe Hague or Amsterdam upon
the 11th, the day on which the Pilots assert that it
appeared in a Dutch Paper. But though it is not a
ding refutation of the report. it has consider-
ably reduced the degree of credit due to it.—
The head-quairters of Bow AP•RTZ were, on the 04.4
at Wurzburg ; aad those of the King of Psessisi
at the same date, at Irfurt. They had, of course,
made no advance since the tat, on which day these
two oPPosin Chiefs occapied the very same posi-
tions.. The interval. however. has not been spent
in idleness. It has been &direly employed in con-
centrating the French army ; the nud: dhody of
which is stationed between Wsuzbongh and :limn-
berg. For this purpose, its right ling. undeellsa.-
1111 a POTTS.. moved through Erlinseis on the 34
was to be followed immediately by. the.cciipc.4.

mian army of @Wawa tion inWestpludla. soder Geaeral
lltucuaa, the advanced guard of which had passed
through Cassel Niche stb. has been obliged to mea-
sure back its steps, and leave the Hessian territory.
The FJettor of Huse is said to`baea peld a visit to
the head-quarters of the King of Femme. es the
lit. and to have afterwards repaired to the bead
quarters of B&Nasaa:c, at Wurtsburg. It was
generally understood that these visits were for
the purr** of practising the consent of these
respeitive Chiefs to the neutrality of his Electorate I
and the interruption which &tweet's crisps ex-
perienced. is conclusive evidence of the success of
the E 's visits. This is much to be regretted,
because it is of advantage to France ; and the dla-

rater of BOICAP ASTI will 110 t allow us to hope,
that he will revel the neutrality of Hesse a ono•
mot looser than it suits his convenience. the
Prank Milliner La Polon has 'dually left Berlin;
and a private letter from Hansburgh of the 10th
that BOliallArri solicited a personal interview with
the King of turista, but that the latter refused the
invitation. These two circuautarmes, combined
with the movements of the respetive armies,
strengthen the opinion, that the dispute between
France and Prussia must be decided by the sword
alone. la the casuist, BOP 111 &Wig will, probably,
be the assailant, as his army was more concentrated,
and Prussia would probably be disposed to await
the approach olds* Russians. Of the co-operatipn
of the latter, there can be no doubt. The fint co-
pen of the Russians was eipeted on the loth at
Koeingsberg. Two other Russian tediums. of 50,00!,
men each, are in full march ; one through Waipitp
to Silesia ; the second army passes through RAM. ,
nia and Eastern Prussia.—lt is still mart ivident .
from db• model of Austria, that she only' awaits an
oppotesity, as we stated yesterday, to matter arms
against France. The Bavarian army, ' part of
which has marched up the Danube with Soots.,
tisoogh united to the 13,000 French in Bran-
um. would not be able to face the Aus-
trians.—One of the miner French Papers has pub-
lished an account of the operations is Calabria, in
which the English are nad to have dimmed that

eonatry. after having sustained a sevete defeat.—
It admits, that the English had previously obtained
" some partial successes s" and this admission has
beta relied upon as favourable to the contrary report,
muse days in circulation. of a second great viaory
obtained by the English, subsequent to that of Maids.
As further evidence of the falsehood of Ale\Frasch
account, a Gentleman. recently airived in town,
from the north of Italy, positively asserts, that ac-
counts had been received at Leghorn,. from Naples,
stating, that in a second general engagement in Ca-
labria, the French sustained' a great defeat, in which
General Jot/IMAM. and several tithe Officers of rank
were killed. andiMetsrie A, and many other Officers,
were wounded. Thh vidory, he adds,was not obtained
without considerable has on our side. The remain-
der of the Preach fell back upon Naples, and it was
clot !aid, that they mid not stop there, but retired to

) Rome. A private truer from Vienna, of the
36th of September, announces alai► • general
defeat of the French in Calabria, and gives the '22d
of August, as the day CO which the battle was "
fought. Apprehensions, however, were entertained
yesterday, in well informed circles, that the article
in the French Papers, announcing a defeat of our
troops, is not without some foundation.

The report of a speedy dissolution vi Parliament
gains ground, and an alive canvass has commented
in consequence. As we stared yesterday, it is ex-
peOed that the new writs %ill be issued on the 25 Is.
The Timer Newspaper, yesterday, stared, " that
its contemporaries frequently delay their publication.
for the purpose of procuring a copy of Tic Timer,
which being done, they stop the Press, and announce,
in the latter part of their impression. the news of
which they have robbed The Times." The assertion,
so far as it applies to Tws Bairises Paris, is as false
as it is base.—lt is a miserable attempt of The: Times
to slander its contemporaries, and make a pro-
tenet for its acknowledged " lateness and irre-
gularity." We have seen that paper some-
-times an Evening paper, sometimes a Suns*
Paper. We have seen it for twelve months come
out every day with a blunder and a falsehood in
its very Gest line; for, with a view to throw the
blame of its avowed " lateness and irregularity"
upon the Newsmen, it has the matchless effrontery
to announce every day the minute at which its
publication ceased, aaually before it was put to
press. These and many other tricks and impos-
tures, which a paper really respectable in charafter
and tale would iimeiay mu have long passed by
without notice. Wikbegarded them as the devices
of a Charlatax to prolong a miser** existence,
4 rd, we pitied the situation that made it necessary to
ielert to such medians. We own another usotive
isr.cor silence. The respeetability of the public
press may be endangered by newspaper abase sad
crimioation ; and we thought it better that The
Taus should go free, then that the public Press
should sager in its punishment. This unprovoked

and malicious attack, however, epos Tea Burnie
Pam, and every other respedabie Mowing Paper,
compels us to depart from the amuse which we
have hitherto punned. To-morrow. there're" we
shall explain the whole art, trade, and =Fie& 41

The Val revs Arum, the Hon. Capt. LAKE, ar-
rived from the coast of Holland, on Wednesday,
with dispatches from Lord Retro, which were

mediately forwarded to London.
The Maio, 84, Capt. Bu Lt.'s, arrived at M.
orouth, from Lisbon, reports, that Admiral Rai
Se. Viatcenr was taken suddenly ill in the
Theatre at Lisbon, but soon recovered, and was
much better when the Malin left that station.
We are requested to state, that the GestrolStmort
East Indiaman is consigned to Madras mad Bengal,

The ensuing Eleition for the City of London will
be contested : Mr. Alderman HAIIIEZY will be the

A great alarm was excited in the .city rester.
day, by the report of the tiring of guns, supposed to
be those of the Tower. Ike fischange and
Ltoso's Coffee-house, were. in a moment, all
bustle and confusion, the people running in all
slireetions, inquiring the news, and pressing in
crowds to the Mansion-house. A viClory at sea—
total defeat of the French in Caleb/it—signal suc-
cess of the Prussians—in short, every possible cause
that the fancy could conceive. was assigned for it.
At length, the firing was ascertained to have pro-
ceeded from smile volunteer corps, which had a field
, day, in the iields beyond the tower. They fired
by platoons, with so much precision. that each
discharge was mistaken for a single slant from one
'of the toter gu4s.
