SOLEM QUIS DICEtE FALSUM AUDEAT ?

THIS morning the Hemburgh Mail, due or, Sun-
daylast, arrived. • Its contents are of the highest
importance, and fully confirm the opinion we have
,-expressed, that the differendes between Prussia and
France cannot now be adjusted unless: the former
consents to the most degrading and humiliating con-
cessions. The Courier whose dispatches were ex-
petted to contain the decision of the question of
Peace or War, arrived at Berlin from Paris art
,the -17th ult. The substance of these Dispatches were
not of course Made public; but, from the extraordinary
preparations that were made after the arrival'of the
Courier, there cart be little doubt that they were of
a warlike nature. Colonel KRUSEMARK set out for
St. Petersburgh the evening of the day on which the
Courier reached Berlin ; and it was generally under.--
stood that HIS PRUSSIAN MAJESTY was to set out to
join his Arty on the-21st ult. The Russian Army
are advancing with all possible dispatch to the
Prussian Territories : they will pass through Soethern
Prussia and Silesia. The negotiations, however, still
continue between the Prussian and French-:Gaazern-
men ts: M. KNOBLESDORF still continues at Parii; and.
Al.l.agonET had not left Berlin on the 20th ult.nor had
he made any preparation for his departure. ..:13e.. had
conferences almost every day with Cii-tfiVt ,ftAUG-
WITZ. It .is said that BONAPARTE • insisted that the
KING of PRUSSIA should cede the whole of his Pos-
sessions in Westphalia. Baron JACOBI ,KLOEST,
the late Prussian, Ambassador at our Court, has left
Berlin for Hambureb. We have no doubt-that
Hamburg
h.
is coming over to this Country to resume ,his,
situation. Lord MORPETH will, soon reach Berlin,
• ._
and we have no doubt that in a very shOrt Cale the'
amicable intercourse which has so tong subsisted
between the two Countries will be restored. All
the movements of the French Armies in Germany
indicate 'the expeCtation of an approaching Cam-
paign : all the soldiers who were disabled by their
wounds from a&ive service, were sent across the
Rhine; and all the Troops were ordered to be in
readiness to march on the 15th ult. The French
have not yet evacuated )3rannau.

We are sorry to state that the Hereditary Prince.
of BRUNSWICK died suddenly on the 26th ult. His
Highness was nephew to His MAJESTY.
The intelligence from Italy is not very interesting,
It was asserted in the late French Papers,: that Cala- •
bria had been completely reduced, and that there-
fore 'orders, had been issued to countermand' the:
marching of the Troops who 'were advancing to
reinforce the French Army in Naples : voe find, how-
ever, that large bodies of. French Troops are constant-
ly passing through. the Papal Dominions into the
Neapolitan Territory, , It is also stated, that great
ugrabers of Freric soldiers have died of fevers.

Some very important Dispatches;`ve =.thi4erStand,
were last night sent off by Mr. Scorn, the 11:lessen
ger, to Lord LIUDERDALZ. The situation iu which'
his Lordshiil has been left by the unexpeEted, depar-
ture of the French Ruler and'his Minister from Paris,
is so new and critical, that the Dispatches sent yes-
terday will probably determine the period of his
'Lordship's continuance in that Capital.

Lord MoarETtr, as we yesterday stated would be
the case, went off yesterday afternoon upon his in=
teresting mission to Berlin. Mr. MARES, the Mes-
senger, atteuded his Lordship.

WE have received some Philadelphia Papers to
the 21 st of August. They are principally filled with
violent 'and rancorous abuse against, this Country. It
is stated in the Paper of the 18th, that the French
Squadron had been seen to the South Ward of Long
Island, steering a N. E. course, on the 2d of Aug.

The Audacious and the *llona, two
.of Sir R.
STRACHAN'S Squadron, arrived at Plymouth on Tues-
day : they came home under jury-mas,ts, having
severely in the dreadful gale"-by which that
Squadron was dispersed.

Mr. C0R1..110, a Spanish Messenger, is arrived in
the IPa/singham, Packet, charged with dispatches to
our Government. The following Men of War were
lying in the Tagus when the Packet sailed: Hiller.-
nia, Impetueux, illustrious, Donneol, and Kent, of
the Line, and Py/adcs Sloop of War..
The detention a the 'Poisingham Packet at Lis-
bon, which gave rise to the report of her capture,
was owing -to tiff' Commander on that station hav-
i sent home tl former dispatch by 1--Frigate, in-
s:cad of sending the Packet m due course.

The Writ for the EleCtion of a Member to serge
in Parliament for the City of Westminster;rendered
vaeint by the death of the Right Hon: C. J. Fox,
w;is yesterday morning ,transmitted from the Crown
Office.to the High Bailiff fur Westminster.
