',DISPATCHES were last night received from Lord
LAUDERDALE, brought -by Mr. Jon34sTort, the
Messenger, who arrived in the Downs yesterday
afternoon in the Kaizaatbd—Sloop of War.
proceeded immediately, to London, and reached town'
last night. The contents of the Dispatches are kept
secret, but the busy tongue of rumour has this morn-
ing raised a story that the Messenger brought the

Prelitninaries of Peace. Nothing, however, -having

we are justified in settiug.dowri tllis nirn6Or, as the
mere re:iult of sanguine hope, or of interested specu-

It is again stated, that BONAPARTE has quitted
Paris, accompanied by the Prince of BENEVENTO,

tion.

. .
TIIE two Haniturgh Mails, due yesterday se'n-
night and Wednesday last, arrived this morning ;
part of the intelligence brought by which 'we nnti7
cipated on Saturday. We have also recewed;an in-
. teresting Letterfrom:our Corre,lsOndent at Bremen.
From these, sources of intelligence we learn, that
the; warlike preparations of Prussia were contitin-
,
ing 11‘.th untbated. vigour. Gen: KALKIMUTH • was
tuareling from Pomerania to join Gen. BLUCHER
in .Westphalia, which junction . being etieCted, the
Prussians will have an Army of 45,000 men. in
Westphalia la force sufficient to prevent any tin
pression being made in -that quarter from the side
of 1-lolland. In other quarters the Prussian TroQps -
are marching, to the artionnt mentioned 'by us
on SaturdaY,-and some detachments of thedi had
arrived within a very shOldistance of the French '
tonnients. The Russians, it is stated, were marching
in, three divisions to form' a junetion with the Prus-
' sian Armies, Letters from Berlin state, that the KING
of PiwssfA was to set out from Berlin for the Army
•
on the 20th inst. The ELEcToa of HESSE, in con-
templation of approaching hostilities, had,removed
from his residence with all his family. There is-also
a Letter friyiiiille'Eanks of the Maine, of the 13tii,
which states, that all the General Officers and Great
Officers of State af.Varis, were, convoked by BONA-
PARTE 'on the Bth at St. Cloud, where a Grand
Council .of War was _held. This circunistance.was'.
not mentioned in the Paris Papers of -considerably
later dates, but it certainty does not follow from
thencethat it is untrue.—On the contrary, the Paris
Papers are doubtless ordered to conceal the prepara-
tions of ,France until the moment for aaion arrives.
It is evident ,that the pre4ent situation .of affairs
in Eorope-Catinot long continue. Something de-
.custve, of Peace or War, InuA soon take place. If
the latter, .we .place the greatest reliance upon the

cautious policy'of Prussia, upon the strength, and.
disposition, of her Aimies, and of the Prussian
Na-
tion. Indeed we scarcely think it poisible"thar anys
accommodation can now take place between Prussia•
and France ; on the • contrary, War is considered,
~•on the continent, to be absolutely determined on.

The Austrians; in the-mean time, are . notridle.
By the great exertions of the Archduke' Cuarit.is
the Austrian army has beemplaced on the most re-
speaable footing. A considerable Park of Artillery
is established near Brunn, and prodigious quantities
Of ammunition and Stores have also been collet:led.
In what manner the 'Austrian Government will
in the event of a contest between Prussia and France,
Foes not yet appear ; but we have no doubt that,

if testill!les aataally take place,

doubt that , this force , was sent by Austria merely
for the purpose of saving appearances with BONA•
PARTE; and that there. was no real intention of mak-
ing any efficient, attempt to, obtain _possession of the
Place. Austria will not quarrel, with Aussia in order
to give BONAPARTE a key, to Turkey,

WE stated on Saturday that an Order of Council
bad been issued for raising the Blockade of the Prus-
sian Ports. Our statement was confirmed by the
Gazette of that evening; which contains a notifica-
tion, by.command of Jiffs MAJikir, signifying that
the Blockade of the Coast, Ri'i;ers, arid ?bits, from
the. Elbe to the ms; is discontinued:

This measure is a clear indication that great ad-
vances have already been made towards an accom-
modation of the differences subsisting between this
Country and Prussia. It is said thiit the PRUSSIA.II
MONARCH has consented to'f-gtdre-Hanover to this
Country, and has pledged liithself'to'plietect that
territory, in the mean time, in the eVent of a war

with France.- If this is the case, there can he• no
doubt that-the KING of PRUSSIA is in earnest, and
really determined to try his fortune in a contest with
France, in the prosecution of which he will, tea
doubt, receive every possible assistantefrom Great
Britain. •

- ' It is now,said, that not LorA IVfottrirff,'but some
'other person, of great talents and considerable ex-
perience,. will be very shortly sent to Berlin, to
bring about a final adjustineni.
