LONDON,
IktONDAY, FElBlttinitY 1 CO.

Ms have this morning received Paris Papers to
the 31 st ult. the centetnts of which are of 'consider-
sble ittattortance. The KING of Pautsra has been
compelled to issue a Decree, prohibiting all relations
between Great Britain and Prussia ) but the lan-
guage of the Decree affords the strongest proof of
the' reluctance with which his PRUSISIAN, MAJESTY
issued it; After stating, that by the Treaty of Tilsit
he was bound to ',Skit the Ports .of Prussia against
England, and distinctly admitting the losa that mast
result
,to his.Subjeala from this measure, His Pact..
SIAN MAJESTir,!mys, he entertained a hope, that by
the intervention of Bessie a General Peace might
he restored; but being dinappoirited'in that hope, he
has now no other choice left but to Vrohibit all rela-
tion between Great Britain and. Prussia,,, until the
lestoration of Pence. The report which Was circa-
fated lately, that the Cointnercial Regulati9es which
',lave recently been adopted in Holland were about
to be relaxed, appears to be' wholly without founda-
tion.. Not only no relaxation has taken place, but
another Decree, Still has been issued, by
which the Ports of }Toilet,- are shut against all Ships
whatever, whether belonging to Neutrals or Allies,
with the following exceptions only, vtz.-;--Artned
Ships of War may enter the Ports of lioliand with
their Prizes, and the Meachant Vessels belonging to
Neutral or Allied Powers may take refuge in the
Forts of Holland, from the dangers of the sea ; but
they are to be placed under the most, striOt and severe
quarantine, and must put to sea. as sofa) as the wea-
ther permits. Even Fishing Boats arc forbid to go
to sea without a soldier on board each, who 'upon,
his return is bound to make a report of what passed
duiing the fishing.
