HA;.IRURGH, Auo. 8.-2xtraa of a Private Let-
ter '1
;.---1" The ambitious views of NAPOLEON with
respea to the general subjugation of Germany, and
partiralarly his conduit in the dismemberment of
.the. Empi.re by the Rhenish Confederation, have
alarmed the Princes who have not participated in
that system of vassalage ; and they have begun to
.manitest their oppos;tion to the measure. Prussia, .'
Austria,-Sweden, Hesse Cassel,.Brunswick, Pome-
rania, and Wirternburgh, are said to have entered
intoa League to rescue the Northern Part of Ger-
many from the influetice of the Usurper. They
expea to be joined by Denmark and Britain, and
probably by Russia. In the mean time the French
Armies are pouring into Germany in every direc-
tion; and are particularly concentrating their Forces
on the frontiers of Saxony' and Austria. BONA-
PARTE has expressed his determination, shOuld any
resistance be shewn, to compel the Northern Princes
to approve of the,new politiOal changes by force of
arms; and their non-acquieSoence will be the signal
for renewed hostilities. The intentio9s of Prussia
were first surmised by a partial change. which has
taken piece in the Cabinet of Berlin. HAUGWITZ
has for sometime been losing his influence with the
Sov,er,eign ; and 'about* the 4th instant one of his
most? strenuous supporters, Count SCIIULENBERG
Ktills,E&r, the Prussian Civil and Military. Governor
of ..Hanover, resigned his, office. His resignation
was not only accepted, but General LARtscuia friend
of Baron HARDENBERG, replaces him in the Mill-
', tary'Denattment, and another friend of the Baron
enjovsthe Civil Administration ad interim. This
sudden change in the condna of the King of
Prussia is attributed to the disappointment of certain
views of aggrandizement and preponderance which
he' rately entertained ; BONAPARTE having deprived
him, contrary to an express promise, of certain
parts of the Ele&orate of Hanover, particularly
Bentheim; Osnabruck, &c. It is a fad that an army
of 45,000 men is now ready to take the field, near
Munich, in Westphalia, and it is daily receiving re-
infOrcetnents, The Elector of Saxony has also or-
dered': part of his Ariny to march to the frontiers;
and Heve Cassel and Brunswick are making the
most alive preparations for war. It is this day re-
ported that the French Troops have passed the fron-
-tiers'of Saxony; and entered .Cobourg !---From ano-
ther quirter the Prussian Army advances to Embden
and the Banks of the Bins, while the French Troops
in Holland, by . forced marches, tale the' same
route. . The Impelial City ofNuremberg.is ceded to
Bavaria ; so that only Hamburgh, Lubeck, and
.:Bremen, still preserve their precarious existence.
Tlle.lreport,that LAtuttsToN's Army had tal:en
Ca-
tara by storm, is unfounded.''

Sta—Thongh l am conscious ho A' little the riff:lir
in which I have Leen lately engaged can merit a mo-
ment's attention 'from the Public, yet as seine pains
have been tai-:en to misrepresent the motives and the
manner of it, I hope I shall be forgiven for addre:;i-

Though by no means• indifferent to the decrees of
criticism, I am aware that they are not to be reversed
by an appeal t-o the pistol. The Review, however,
which Mr. jEFI,ItsEY b3:l written, appeared to me to
contain more personality than criticises ; to impuie to
we motives for publication which my heart disclaims
and detests, and to assail- me altogetner, much mute
as a wan than as a ::riter. Conceiviog, there ore,
that in the pruent state of win ILA'S no Gentleman

Mr. JEPFREY, in terms too plain to be fer a :nornen.t
misunderstood and the rneetiq; of which the

With- respea to the rikLeulous story about the

to the declarAtion of our Secouds, who are men mit
