W.kIINESDAY, APRIL 9, Isoa.

AVE are happy to find that His Majesty's Ministers
are proceeding to adopt the most vigorous and de-
cisive measures, in consequence of the unprovoked
hostility manifested by the Court of Berlin towards
this Country; The GaZ;ette of last night states, that
the necessary measures- have been taken, -by His
MAJESTY'S command, for the Blockade of the en-
trance of the Ems, the Weser, the 'Elbe„ and the
Trave. Prussia will very soon and very severely feel
the effea of these measures,' and they would at any
other time, we have no doubt, produce-the intended
effe&, Viz. .that of conyincing Prussia of the danger
of incurring the hostility of Great Britain, and ()fin-
&icing her eagerly to seek for reconciliation.—But un-
fortunately Prussia iS now aEting under the influ-
ence, or rather under the controul, of another power,
,
for it is impossible to suppose that Prussia can a6t a
voluntary part in the conduct which she has recently
adoifi'al . Neither her honour nor her interest can be
promoted or strengthened by such cantina. Grant-
ing that she gains an accession of Territory,- the ba-
lance
is very much against her on the score of clia,
Tatter, and iin that confidence and security which
depend on it. It .is said that the communication
from the PrUSSinn Government, of the measures which
, she has adopted, was marked by a courtesy which
rarely accompanies such trap saaion4 ; and this, in con-
jundion with more weighty c.-)nsiderations, will jus-
dry the inference that Prussia' -a-Ets by a mortifying,
humiliating, and inevitable compulsion. But while we
pity her, we must take care of ourselves ; and the
vigilance, adivity, and judgment which our Mini-
stry have already exerted on this interesting Occa-
sion, afford a good omen of their future operations.

IT gives us great pleasure to find that the reports
which Were circulated a few days ago, respeding
the probability of a renewal of the War in India,
are unfounded. The Gentleman who lately arrived
from India, and upon whose supposed authority the
unfavourable reports were circulated; is Mr. STOKES;
he left 'Bengal Ni the ?d December..'' He was pre-
vented, by indisposition, from waiting' upon, the
Chairman of the East India Company till yesterday,
when he communicated the following intelligence :
Sir GORoF..BARLow, the, present, GoVernor-
General, was, by the last accounts, in December, at
Allahavaci, on his way up to head-quarters, (sup-
posed to, be either Agra or Muttra) where Izafra4
from ITIoLKAR were said.to be waiting.
The fortress of Deiß, agreeably to stipulation,
hack been evacuated by the British Troops on the 12th
of November. .

`C The Bhurtpore RAJAH and SCINDIA were pa-
cific, and the Western parts of Xudia and the coast
were cluiet.

HOLKAR had made attempts to influence the
Sei4s, but they had proved abortive, azA his power
and political consequence were so, considerably re-
-416d, that little donbts remained of a favonrable
and speedy issue to the negotiation about to com-
mence upon the arrival'off.the GovernOr-General.
" Specie was scarce at Calcutta, but more artifi-
cially so than real, the shroffs and money holders
ls-eepinghack in- hopes of a loan, witl) higher trite-
rest being offered.

The Gazette of last bight contains an account of
the Surrender of General :JANSSENS, and the Troops
under his command, at the Cape of Good Hope.—
The Troops are not to be considered as Prisoners of
War, and are to be conveyed to Holland as soon as
possible in British Ships. ' TheE6 terms • are un:••
doubtedly very favourable for. the Enemy ; but the
British ComMander aeled very wisely in granting
diem. Gen: J4NssENs might have protraeled his
resistance for a considerable period; and although
he must' have . been ultimately subdued, , yet much
time-and many lives would have been lost.-14 is,
generally believed that h great part of the Troops,
employed in'the taking of the Cape were destined
afterwards to attack the Mauritius ; it was therefore
of the utmost importance that as-little time as 'pos-
sible should be lost at the Cape, andll,, that the force
employed should not be unnecessarily weakened.

IT is said that private letters have been received
from Holland, which state, that the Dutch Legisla-
tive Body have declined the Proposition madet'o them
by BONAPARTE, viz2to accept of a King of his no-
mination, or to became a part of the French Empire,
and that they have expressed a wish to remain a
separate independent State. There can be no doubt
but the Dutch, if they were allowed to 'choose for
themselves, would remain separate from France ;
but it is adding the mostcruel mockery to the great*
est injury to give them the -form, of a choice,•
at the very 'moment when they are ading 'under the
coercion of French bayonets. We very much doubt
