of the first Gentlemen of the Faculty here,- worse and
worse fort Ivo years, I was reduced to a state almost un.
paralleled and beyond description, being an entire. leper,
and ulcerated from head to foot.—Mt!icad, throat, mouth,„
nose, legs; arms, have. been alternately
,in danger of
becoming useless ; . in short, I )cave had' from twenty to

TUESDAY, Sn'TpIEER 3U, z 806.

THE Convoy with Troops for Buenos Ayres sailed
from Plymouth on Sunday. They are to touch at
Falmouth, to wait,for further. Convoy.
About 170 Sail of the Leeward Island Fleetshave
arrived in the Downs.

The report of the loss of the IValsingham Packet,
from Lisbon, is effeaually contradi&ed by her ar,
rival at Falniouth, with a Mail frorri Lisbon, lay
which we have the following intelligence:
" The Thetis 'Frigate and Millbrook Schooner
was off Oporto Bar on the 2d inst.
fr The Venus Frigate and Wool verine Sloop of
War arrived at Madeira on the gth August, with, a
Feet from PortSMouth, and sailed on the 24th .for
the 'West Indies.

" The Orpheus Frigate arrived at Madeiia on the
12th August' with a Fleet from Portsmouth,, and
sailed with the above for the West Indies. The
Milfur d, LAN bALL, bound to 4ombajr, sailed from
Madeira the 18th ult."

We have also received the following Letter from

Baltimore :

" paltimore, Aug, 20.

"The British and French Fleets are
,within a few
days sail of each-other on our coast:; and, from daily
information from some of our outward and inward-
bound Vessels, I am sure each Fleet knows Where
the other is, and what force.
I am of opinion that the French will make an
attack on, some- part of Newfoundland, or go into
Boston."

LAST night. we received Paris Papers to the 27th

instant.

The intelligence. they bring is, we ,think, decisive
as to a War between France and Prussia. BONA-.
T;ARTE quitted St. Cloud in the night of Wednesday
last, and there is no doubt that he is gone to take
the Command of the Ariny. His departure is an-
nbunced in the Moniteur, which also states, as a
supposition, that he would proceed towards Mayence.
It -was -also understood at Paris; as we -stated yes 4
terday, that . TALLEYRAND hail quitted that City
to follow his Naster. From this latter circumstance
it may be conje&ured, that.l3oNA PARTE expeBs

ther to intimidate Prussia into concession, without
commencing hostilities, or that he may be
.enabled
to dilate a Peace,, sword in hand, similar to the
Treaty of Presburgh. Prussia, however, has evi-
dently calculated all the chances of-a contest, and
we have no doubt has fully prepared. for it. In
leer present attitude, and after going so far, it
were almost folly to suppose that the Prussian
Monarch will concede, or, in other words, re-
duce himself to the situation of a dependent and
vassal Power, without striking a blow. War
we now consider as inevitable. The contest must
be fir the remaining liberties of Europe, and
itsissue will decide the fate of the Continent. Such
a contest it is impossible to contemplate without
anxiety. .We think, however, that, in the condal
a: in the. preparations of Prussia, in the spirit of
her 'Troop's, and in the enthtiAasm of her people,
we sec tllq best grounded hopes of success.—,
Her Generals are amongst the best in Europe—her
Troops are in the 'highest state of discipline—and of
their bravery , there is not a shadoW of reason to
doubt. It .is well known that the Prussian Troops
display an eagerness, 'a zeal, and an impatience for
the contekt; from which the happiest consequences

,n3ay be augured. •
Many persons may perhaps fear that,- however
brave Prussian Troops, their Gengrals are in,
competent to contend with BONAPARTE -and his
o:acers, and that they will be out-rnanuvred and,
defeated by the'operation of the neW Systemof tac7
tics praaised by the latter. We cannot, however,:
suppose that the.i'russian Generals, many of whom
have been justly considered'as men of the greatest
military talents, and who have earned the highest
reputation,
wshould have been so bigotted to the tac-
tics of the old school, or so inattentive to what -was
passing before their eyes, as not to consider and esti-
mate the operation and effeta of the system aced
upon by3BONAPAIITE. From the errors committed by
Austria in the late War,' itilit'ary officers:, of even,
the most ordinary talents, could not fail to. derive

inst'ruaive lessons. It is evident, indeed, and we

rejoice to observe it, that Prussia
•will nOt,commit
the errar of suffering her Troops to be defeated
detail. 11-Ter Armiesi. on the contrary; are con-

centrated, and ready to bear down, 'with united

strength, upon whatever point may become the.

scet):. (4 hostilities

'BONAP.ARTE Will 0111 S be

ur;able, by bringing down a superior

force

upon particular polnts,• to defeat detachment after
detachment, but Must meet fairly in the field a
force at least equal, if not superior in number to his
own: In the present instance alSo, BosTApARTE
does not appear to have any advantage in point of
time, which can enable him to strike at once any de-
cisive blow. By comparing the different accounts in,
the Foreign Papers of the preparations of both fowers,
it will be found that the Prussian Troops are at least
as forward and' as ready for the contest as these of
France. From the time at which BONAPARTE left
Paris, it is evident that some days must yet elapse
before 'he can be On the intended scene of anion,
or be enabled .to commence his operations. In the
mean time, whatever further preparations require to
be made on the part of Prussia may easily be effeapd.
In contemplating the approaching contest, although
we cannot divest ourselves of some portion of anxiety,
we yet look forward with the most confident hope
to its issue, as one whickwill destroy the monstrous
ascendancy of France, and compel her to return to
her natural situation in Europe.
The number of Russian Troops on their march
is estimated at 150,00 Q men. This number may
probably be exaggerated ; but there is no doubt that
a large body of Russian Troops are in motion,
and there appears reason to believe that they
are not far from the Prussian Territories. The
Moniteur, by means of fabricated Letters, is very
anxious to have it believed that Saxony and Hesse
have refused to join Prussia. There is, however, no
doubt, on the contrary, that bQth the Hessian and
Saxon Troops have been placed tat the disposal of
the KING of PRUSSIA. The'se, added to the Prus-
sian. Troops concentrated on the frontiers of Saxony,
make the amount of the whole at least 150,000
men, exclusive of other Divisions of no incon-
siderable amount, and of the SWedish Troops.—
The number of French Troops at present in Germany
is not supposed.to 'exceed. j 20,000 men. It is not
therefore making too sanguine acalculation to suppose
that the Prussian Army, in its present'state, 'is-fully
equal to the first onset ; and before the French can
bring any • large additional body of disposeable
Troops into the field, there is little doubt that
the Rtissians- will be upon the spot, equally
ready for the, combat. . We do not speak of
the number of Armies which the Contending
Pow'ers can bring. successively into the .field ; as
we are ,convinced, that if the War is protraaed, the
Allies will have gained a considerable part of their
obje&. If BONAPARTE does not obtain a rapid and
decisive Vietory, he will find it extremely difficult
to maintain his'ground.

There are several interesting articles lb the Paris
'Papers, which we have not room to notice, and 'for
which, therefore, we must refer our Readers to the
very ample details we have given in our subsequent
Columns.

MR. 'WHITBREAD has been appointed to the
Office of Secretary at War, in, consequence of the
resignation of General FITVATRICK, whose time of
life and state of health induce hint' to retire from

luminated their houses in commemoration of the

WINDSOR TER a A cE.—The Promenade on Sunday'
evening was but thinly attended.. Neither their

Yesterday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was
held at Lord How-fcx's Office, which was attended
