We learn, by the latest letters from.Prussia;'that
the Royal Chamber of War and Marine at,Koningsl
burgh, gave notice; on the t 4th of April, that- the ma-
gazines, including also 66,000 bushels of oats, would
. z
be sold in small lots. This intelligence:has removed
'all apprehensions' of a rupttre between Prussia and
Russia, and created the greatest consternation anlong
the Jews, who, in the contemplation of a rupture;
had colle6ted vast quantities of merchaudize, which
they must now dispose of at 'a great loss." r . .

The following Letter, which was transmitted from

SIR, Head-Quarters, Greisvald, April 6,

" I have this day received the Letter of the 34
inst., xi;ltich you did me the honour ot' writing to me,
and whieh I lost no time in, laying before the King
my Master. It lsby his- orders that I take the ear,
liest opportunity of communicating to you his inters-
Oona respeaitta the important '
subject of your official
disptch. . • . ,

" s His Mlijesty was got in the,least surprised at
the demand made by. the PruSsian Government,
concerning the eVacuationnf the Territory of Lauer',
burgh, for he bas been a lopg tithe in exPeCb-
tion of it ; and' particularly as he considers this
new proceeding. as a natural consequence oi< he. sp.-
tem of his,l3rdssian,Nl*sty • Any attack npon the
Swedish Troops in the Latienburgli would be, in ef,.
'fee, a formal declaration of War 'against Sweden, and
would put the final seal to this system, by proving that
the Court of Berlin is, even: ready to shed . blood to
prOmote to their full extent the ambitious views of
BONAPARTE. ePd lajcsty has nothing to reproach
Himself with', Ile has only. followed what the prin-
ciples and the interests of his Ally diaated to hisn.

With such motives for his guide, His Majesty
e
will make t» alteration in the measures he has
.
adopted, and will not assuredly, uponAhe eye ,of
hoodities, make choice of that man ent'to with-
draw Troops from a Province which cOns.NuetitT
ly, would fall qpder,the authority Of a ',Power as to,
'reign to the wighei of its Inhabitants, it "is con-

trary to the express will its Sovercign,

"The result of theSe observations: that the
King has ordered me to communicate tti you., that
His Majesty is determined to:abide the consequences
of the approaching events; that strong in the justice
of his cause, and relying implicitly upon the decrees
of Providence, .he is resolved to meet *.hiftever cir-
cumstances may result from the present crisis of
affairs.
