It is impossible to describe the• fatal effeas which
the unfortunate rnptdre with your country has no-
.. •
casioned on the Prussian Trade. All Bills drawn in
Silesia upon. Hamburgh and Bremen have been re-
tiarlied with protest; which gives a mortal stab to the
Mercantile Interest ; and the .iMmense number of,
Vessels which have been captuled, has raised such
a hue and cry against our new Mohareh, that the
Most alarming consequences are'expeiited. , The
ci-
tizens in Berlin-are so incenSed•against HAUGWITZ,
that hi 3 abode ther,e must soon ,become very. dan--
gerous, as they have'. already gone the length of •
breaking the windoWs in his house, and also of corn- .
mitting other outrages, which exhibit symptoms of
thefinost lively discontent, and that not alone amongst
the lower;ranks. The Soldiery, it is said, have re
fused-to aa'against•the Burghers, which has caused
great sensation, and induced ..HAUGWITZ to go to,
Potsdam.* ,I4apEipnitohas been loudly called for•
again, by ali ranks,• and it is even thought his Ma-
jesty may be induced-to •recall him to his 'old situa
,
tion, which many go the length to say he will not
accept. Mr. Fox's temperate but. manly speech has
set the Whole country, in consternation, and. fully
opened the .eyes of the most unenlightened peasants,
to see through the odious perfidy of our-late Politics.
All the deserters from the Hanoverian Corp§
which were lately in this country are ordered to be
apprehended; anddragged into the service of their
.
new master. They are not allowed to enter into any
of the-Regiments stationary in this country, but are',
transported into.the interior Of the country, to pre-.
vent the possibility of escape. Now though this
measure may not meet with general disapprobation,.:
yet I lament to be, under 'the painful necessity of
' acquainting you with others no less tyrannical' than.
disgraceful, and which, lam sure, must meet the
hOnest indignation of every human being possessed
of the least degree of feeling.;
While the French usurped the Sovereignty of out
unfortunate Eleaorate, their system of extortion and
pillage-.'must have been'notorious to all Europe; yet
they only insisted ;upon our supporting their Military
in the country, and in mortgaging it fin sums, to our
neighbours, which they- well knew would neVer be
paid; but our present Task-master not only insists
upon our supplying a more numerous military, but
even insists uPpli our advancing men four'grots.ek-
tra (two-pence sterling); which we all know is
served out as a' boon- to keep the. Army godd
humour. Those who Cannot comply with these
`tyrannical orders are immediately served with thi-
litary execution; and th-eir "goods sand chattles ex=
posed to sale.
General BAanou, having accomplished the object
of his mission here, is about to return to France.
What:the mission might :have been, I suppose; is
now no secret to Europe, and I am sorry he has
succeeded so well. • •

. Many reports are at this moment in circulation
about some intended transfers and regulations' ex-
pe&ed
to take place. It is said His. PiusSian Ma-,
jesty would dispense-with *our Elealorate if,he. could
get hold, of his old possessions-; but that BONAPARTE
will not agrei3...to upon -any terms. It-is. said•hO
proposes to. the Court-ot Berlin to take po,ssession of
Swedish Poinerania, and return the -Eleaorate, to
England, it your Cabinet cannot lie.brought to terms
upon any other conditions ; if that won't do; •
will send his Troops again here to retain possession
of it fur Prussia.

It is also reported that BONAPARTE proposes Mu-
EAT to get the Eleetorate, and to give up part of his
new ailuisitions to Prussia. .

THE THEATRE.---The Tragedy of ~arte Shore was
represented last night at Covent-Garden Theatre, for
the benefit of Mrs. LircurlELD, who announced.
her final departure from the Stage on this occasion,
-but who will, .no doubt, be very ready.to contribute'
her efforts for the remainder (f the season, if the
terests of the Property shoUld render them necessary.
The :part of June Shore was supported by Miss
SmiTtr, in a very pathetic manner. Mrs. LITCH-
tIELD gave considerable spirit, energy, and effea to
the charaCter of Alicia. POPE, in 'consequence of
.the continued indispoSition of CHARLES KEMZLE,
took the part of Hastings, and acquitted himself.very7
ably. KEidet.E. gives the chareeler of Gloucester,
quite in a 'new light, and classes it among the most
prominent of his professional exertions.. The charac-
ter of Dumont was to 'have been represented by
CooKE,,but as soon as he came on the stage, instead
of being fit to display the sorrows of an affec.
tionate husband, long divided from a disloyal, but
repentant -wife, it was evident that—
" The tsars of tL-1; tankard were all he could shed ;"

and that he was; indeed, in'sueh a situation as total-
ly disqualified him from discharging his duty. The
:Audience testified great displeasure, .and, he was
obliged by his condition, as well as by general in-
dignation, to quit the Stage. MURRAY, very good-
naturedly, came fOrward soon after as his subtitute,
but the AudienCe, in, the warmth of their resent-
ment, 'vented some discontent towards him, which,
however, speedily gave way to more just and liberal
feelings. As to COOKE, it is rleedle,.'s for us to say any
thing, as the public have themselves chiefly tO blame,
for Chen he returns to the Stage, after similattrespasSes •
on decorum, to sneak in the Mildest terms of his con-
dua,:he is generally received with the triumph of a
Conqheror.—Mrs LyrennELD made a handsome
apology for the. unavoidable cOnfusion which this
incident had occasioned, as well' as for the omission
of GARRIQK'S Ode on SHAKESPEARE, which COOKE
had promised to 'deliver. • She also took leave of the
Public .in an elegant and appropriate farewell Ad-
dresS, svhich: she spoke with. great emotion, and
which was followed by loud applause.--The House
had'a very numerous Audience.''
