SOLEM QUIS DICERS FALSUM AUDEAT?

LONDON,
moNDAy, MAY 26, 180 G.

THE Flaw burgh Mail due yesterday arrived this
morning, and the intelligence which, it brings is,
if true, of the utmost importance. The Russians,
it is pdsitively stated, have at length consented to
evacuate Cataro; and thereby to relieve Austria
from the embarrassing situation in which she was
placed. There have been 'so many contradielory
reports upon this subje&, that we should have he,
sitated to give credit to the above statement, if we did
not find it confirmed \from so many quarters. But tho'•
the EMPEROR,oIB4OSSIN has consented, at the ear-
nest solicitation of Austria, to evacuate the import-
ant •positions occupied by his Troops in Dalmatia;
it is probable that he will very soon be involved in
aaive hostilities with France ; for BONAPARTE, as
the new Sovereign of Venice, claims from the
Porte all the territories which belonged to Venice,
even in the most remote times; and with the force
which he now has, or very soon will have, in Dal-.
matia, he will be able to compel the Porte to com-
ply with his demands, unless 'the .EMPEROR of
RusstA interferes effeClually. It is not, however, to
be expeilied, that the EMPEROR of RuEst.t. will con-
'Sent to suffer some of the most valuable possessions
in the Turkish EMpire to be transferred to France,
or that he will consent to withdraw his Troops from
Corfu, and the other Islands ,forming the Republic
of the Seven Islands, which BONAPARTE claims as
having formerly belonged to Venice.
We are sorry to find that the laSt- Letters from
Berlin do not Confirm the accbunts -received a few
days ago, of the resignation or dismission of Count
HAuGwrrz; but it is confidently asserted, and. we
think not Without probability, that the EMPEROR of
RusstA has offered to mediate between Great Britain
and Prussia, and Sweden and Prussia.

PRIrATE CORI:Espo-AD.ExcE.

HANOVER, MAY 19

TuF..sullen-silence lately observed at the Court of
Berlin, has given rise to 'mud.) ' speculative conjee7
ture ;. however, one material point is now 'ascer-
tained, beyond the possibility of doubt;., respe&ing
the Russian interference on the part of SWeden ; as
Kis Imperial Majesty's Ambassador, previous to his
departure froth this country, officially, notified to
the Prussian Cabinet, that his'Court would consider
an attack upon. Swedish Ppinerania as a declaration
of hostilities against itself,, having solemnly gua-
ranteedthat country to Sweden : in consequence of
which, the Army destined for. that Expedition have
received contrary orders; and 'are. said to be march-
ing back into their own cantonments. The de--
parture of the Russian .Ambassador, at so important
a conjun6ture, •is not looked upon in a propitious
point of view to the. interest of our 'Sovereign ; and
no wonder, in taking the chapter of laf accidents
into consideration,' that a diffident coolness should.

exist in the Court of St. Peterssburgh, notwithstanding
the diplomatic concerns arc still- carried on under the
dirc6tion of,a Charge 'd'Affaires.
It is impossible u 1 describe "the murinuring and
discontent that prevails at present, and daily gains
ground, amongst, the Prussian Troops. Desertion is.
now 'become too universal to admit of the nunis,h-
tnent'of individuals, and, therefore, his Majesty has

had .recourse to the desperate measure of divesting.
•some Regiments of their Military • ornaments, and
stripping the lace off their clothes. Thus,' our Regi-
Mem; ,‘ThiCh ranks -riext to the Life Guards, has
'been degraded in'the manner I have mentioned, on
account of about 800 of them
.deserting,

, .
Of the 250,000 men, which have been in motion
for some time, I can assure yOn, from good autho-
rity, that no fewer than 8000 are deserted ;. frOm
which you may naturally conjeaure that no great
dependence ,can be had upon such dispositicael
Troops. The. Officers are just as inimical fo, the
measures of their King as the Soldiers, and talk in
public company with as little reserve. ,
You will hardly believe me- when I inform Ton
that the de.mands upon our unfortm!ate Leeacrate
are 25,000 rix-dollars (40p01. sterling) law-A.llly
more than duriiig the period of the French:LlAirpa-
don; and the plausible.pretext for this, additional ex-
penditure is, that his Prussian Majesty is under the,
necessity of paying the 6µms borrowed by France
from the Hans Towns.

The Military quartered here have execution parties
every other day. I thought, at first, they Went into
the Country occasionally to relieve. some guards
which they might have posted 'around, but, upon in-
quiry, I found that their . business was to sell qff as.
natwil of the refraaory Peasants' prOperty (as: they
are pleased to term it) as might be necessary to
make up the sum which the Justice of Peace for
that Distria had direaions to levy. To add to the
misfortune of the Peasantry, whose poverty may sub-

jest them to executions, they are obliged to give
every Soldier eight grots a day (four-pence half-
penny) during the period which may lie granted the,m
to raise the money. The Corporals upon those
duties are allowed double the sum whicili the Pri-
vate; have.
