SATURDAY, APRIL 9. 6 , 1,506.'

LAST night Parts Papers to the Nth inst. and
•Putch Papers to the 22d, were received; the former
are extremely interesting,' and we have inserted as
copious ExtraCts frond them as the length of the Par-
liamentary Proceedings Would. .permit. The most
itripbrtant. article' they contain is, a 'long detailed
commentary in theMoniteurupon the state of Europe.
—The first point observed , upon in this Paper is
the differences -subsisting between England mid
Prussia, and. it states, in distina terms, that Eng-
land. has declared War against PriissiA, This, .we
know, is- not the faa ; but the Moniteur chooses
to consider the justand energetics.measures which"
the British Ministers have, been" compelled to adopt
as a Declaration of War. It appears from the
manner in which this subje& is discussed in the
Moiiiteur, that the
,French Govertfment did not ex-
pea that His Majesty's Ministers would have taken
such strong measure... againSt Prussia and. great
pains are taken to sh.ew that , it would have
been much more to the interest of great Bri-
tain to have temporized with Prussia, and ti
have endeavoured rather to obtain a mitigatio
of the orders 'for' shUtting the Ports in ./le
North, than to retaliate upon' Prussia for the in- .
justice of her -Proceedings. -The French Gccern-
merit are evidently disconcerted by the pronvtitude
and vigour Of His Majesty's Ministers; bu: it de-
..
rives great consolation from. the-tonsideragOn; that
however Prussia may, suffer in this• contest, it.,muss
be beneticiai-to France. This 'certainly is not very
kind treatment..to•a Prince who has sacrificed both
his honour andshis• interest, by comply ink; with the .
commands of the Emperor of the ii'rench..-,-But this
,
is• not ill, the'ffironi,tur. eXPressly'States, that it is not
. .• • -
true -that his. Prussian Majesty-,has finally annexed
'Hanover to hiS Dominion,• -and " that there is no-
thing in fad to provi. that such was his intention:"
The writer of' th?... .article :in the AloniteUr, cer:
tainly cocld not-:be unacquainted with the last Pro-..
clamation issued inthe'narrie.ofhis Prussian Majesty,
respeaing Hanover ; but he knew perfealy well
that as the king of Prussia. had taken possession.. of,
that Eleaorate by the. permission of BO,NAPAATO.A:
so he must give it up again whenever it shall be the
pleasure of his Imperial Ally.
• With respe& to Holland; the . determination
.off'

BONAPARTE iS communicated in a manner too line-
quivoeal to k misunderstOoid. It is stated, that the
Emperor of the French never gave his consent to the
last Constitution which was imposed upon that
Country—that a' new Constitution is necessary for
it, and that the enestion to be considered is, whether
it should be a limited Monarchy'or a Republic.—,
The Monitehr, of course, gives the preference to thq
former; and we have no doubt that in a few,weekt,,
or perhaps 'days, -a limited Monarchy will be esta-
blished. in Holland, and that ene of the illustrious
familyot BONAPARTE «rill be the new. Sovereign.--,
Another 'important faa announced is, that an' irnme,
diate change is to take place in the Government of
Switierland : It is not. distinEtly stated what shape
it is to assume, bUt it is clear that it will no,
longer retain even the name of a Republic. The
occupation 'of Cattaro and of Castel Nuovo, by
the RusSians; forms a very prominent subje& of
coMplaint in this curious Paper. It is averred,
that. Genera! BRADY, with an Austrian Garrison of
two thousand men, gave up Cattareta three hundred
Russians, in consequence of which BONAPARTE has
demanded, in the most, positive and peremptory
manner, that Austria should compel the Russians to
evacuate that important position :.-and-in order to en-
force this demand, the Freach have taken possesSion
. of Brannan, on the Inn, the fortifications. of which
they . are • strengthening, and orders have been
given to stop the Anstrian Prisoners' who were
on their return home from France. _ Indeed, it seems
to be the obje6t of BONAPARTE, either to force Aus-
tria again into War, or to reduCe her to 'file most
abje& and- unconditional state of submission.—As
We cannot suppose for a moment that-the Archduke
CHARLES will consent to the latter, we may expel
very shortly to hear of the renewal of the War be-
tween Atistria and France. Great pains 'are taken
to shew that France has nothing to fear from the
hostility of Russia ; and it is positively, but' we are
happy to add untruly, • stated, that all the Russian
.
Armies have returned home. • • .

'The whole of the Kingdom of Naples, it is said,
is now in possession of the French, with the qxceptioa.
of the insignificant Fortress of Gaeta: it is, however,
asserted in the t/ntch Papers, that an Irish Oflicerhas,
•iyith afew Troops, thrown himself iitto' Civitella del
Vcontc, which he is determined to defend against

tnily of Na.,los'have,:it is said, taken meastwes for
retiring to Malta, in caEe of necessity.
An article in the •Pre.)burgh Gazeite states, that
the Russian Armies are advancing ag-,ainst.prussia
but we•think the intelligence rather premature. It
is, reported in Germany, that Prussia is to cede
to the Ele6tor of Saxony what she has acquired
by the two partitions of Poland. That Prince is also
to receive the West Gallicia, Lithuania, and is to be
crowned King of Poland. In recompence, the Elec-
torate of Saxopy and Lusatia are to be yielded up to
Prussia. The Emperor of Austria is to receive In-
denmities in another quarter.

Lord HOWICK laSt. night submitted a Motion to
the. House of Commons, Ole objeet of which must
give the highest satisfaaion to the, Country at large,
as it is io increase the Pay of its Naval Defenders.
Lord HENRY PETTY, in the House of Commons,
last night proposed two Amendments to the Property
Tax, by the first of which, those persons who by
inanual. labour do not gain more than' 30s. a week,'
or ss. a day, should be wholly exert pted : by the
second, that the scale of gradation should be ex-
tended from loot. a year to 1501. in the same man-
ner as proposed in the original state of the Bill from
501. to .1001.
