SOLIZIQUIS DICERE FALSUM, AUDEAT

LONDON,
TITURSDAy, FEBRUARY 27, 1806.

A report was yesterday circulated, that the dif-
ferences between Prussia and France had risen to
such a height as to render hostilities almost inevit-
able. There is Pot, we believe& any foundation .for ,
. .
this report ; but there can be no doubt that the Ca-
binets of ‘Berlin. and.the Thuilleries must view each.
other with a degree of 'suspicion and distrust which
niay very probably lead, to 'open hostility ; thoggh,in
the present.state of Europe, thley hare both': strong rea-
sons twavold it. Prussia cannot wish for a Wae-With
France; the result Of which may not only diniihish
her: power, but endanger her very existence as an .
independent State: on the other band, BONAPARTEY
Wall all his confidence in his own fortune, and in
the bravery of his Troops—with all his last of con-
quest, must be aware of the difficulties he would have
to encounter in engaging in a War with Prussia, a 61.! .
ing in concert with Russia and Great Britain ;.besides,
:Italy, . though nominally subje6ted to lA's power, is
in a very uriettled, state ; and An,stria& though
humbled; it by no means subdued. It seems, indeed,
from the last Alloniteurs, that . BONAPARTE already
begins to entertainsome uneasiness with respea to the
dispositiOn and intention of the Cabinet of,Vienna.
The French.official Paper makes a formal complaint
against the EMPEROR of GgtotANY for employing
Count STADION as:his Minister; and if it be true
that Baron THUGUT is again to be placed at the head
of the Councils of Austria, we may expeel to find
those' complaints converted into menaces.
The Paris Papers, which arrived last night to the
'2oth, and Dutch Journals to the 23d instant, afford
little in addition to what we have before stated re-
speaing ,the situation of affairs on the Continent.
The French,Arrny, on the Maine, was, it appears,
receiving reinforcements, not only by means of the
Troops,returninc‘from Moravia, but the Division of
. General 14yA.L, which foemed part of the Arius, of
the North -and 'afterwards returned to Strasburgh, ,
had received orders to march to the Minks of the
.Maine.• This is an additional proof of the want of
cordiality baween Prussia and France; and although
there may b* at present a disinclination to enter into
hostilities,-.we_have little doubt, as we before stated,
that Prussia will ultimately find that she must either,
sacrifice her honour and her rank as, a first-rate
Power, at the shrine of the inordinate ambition of
BONAPARTt; or resolutely combat in the Field the
Armies of France. -

IT gives us the sincerest pleasure to be able. to
State, • that the present Government ,are unceasingly
employed in correcting the Manifol& abuses .which
have but too long e4isted in the expenditure ofthe Pub-
lic Revenue. recant regulation in the Offide of the
Paymaster-General of, the Forces, isone proof among
many which we could adduce to ,this fa&.' It 'had
been the prgaice of the Army Agents to get into
their hands the issues from' the Pay-Office fivr.S;lff.-
pay and Contingencies whenever ,those issues were
made, and to retain the money; and it has been some
time before the several Stat-Y-OfficeS, and , thoselo
whom it was appropriated, could get the money out
of their possession ; by which- condua much
profit Was made by the'Agents ; the general service
considerably injured ; and individuals but too often
reduced to severe distress. TO rem* thee eli114;
which were growing to an intolerable height, a regu-
lation has recently been adOpted, a hick dlreas,
that notice., shall be given in the London Ga-
zette, and the other Newspapers, of the day on
which issues are made for any of the above-men-
tioned services. Thus the Staff .Offices will be offi-
- eially apprised of the momenton which they ought
to receive their demands, and no excuse can exist
for protra&ing the payment to the several claimants
upon them
