APRIL 4.,,

We learn from Amsterdam, that they are arming
with all diligence in the different Ports on the Zuy_
derzee, a numerous Flotilla, which is to he composed
of Cutters, Brigs, Sloops, Gunboats, and Flat-
bottomed Boats, on board of which theAroops are
to be embarked. We are ignorant of thedestf,nation
of this armament, the equipment of which is fpr_
warded with unexampled adivity.

The Foreign Journals are filled with complaints
that the money rising-out of the Contributions im-
posed upon Germany, had been sent into France in
order to pay the Army of the Rhine on their return
into the French Territory►. These complaints are
wholly without foundation.; Germatv in general
did not suffer much from the Contributions ; and
the assertion of these Journalists is besides un-
grout-Zed. For the Army of the Rhine is in arrears

seven or eignt mourns. • I ilcbc dirc4,4 diC
paid off in France out of the Funds kaised for the
year ; and the Direttor of the Public Treasury has
already taken measures inconsequence. (Momi:ekr.)

BERLIN, MARCH 22.—The rupture of our COurt
with that of St. James's is inevitable: The British
Cabinet having made no answer to the Note trans.
mired to Lord CARYSFORT by Count HAUG IV ITZ,
His MAJESTY has declared that the Answer return-
ed by England to the King of SW EDEN, was,consi-
dered, by him as personally applying to himself.
Prince ADOLPHUS, Commander in. Chief of the
Hanoverian troops, sets off for llamburgh to-mor-
row, whence it is supposed he will immediately
proceed to England. Lord CARYSFORT will lose
no time in following him ; and has already, discharg-
ed his Prusiian servants.

HAMBURGH, MARCH 25.—The veil is at length
withdrawn! A Prussian Courier arrived yesterday
to notify to our Senate, that they •must suspend all
communication with England, and that the whole
of the English property that can be discovered
throughout the extent of our territory, must be con.
fiscated.—Eight thousand Prussians had received
orders at the same time to advance, in order to as-
sure the execution of this measure. These troops
are expeaed to arrive in the cou►se of the day.
Accounts are just received, that the English
Fleet arrived at the entrance of the Sound.

The English Admiral dispatched a Flag of Truce,
charged with requiring, 1 sr, The free passage of
the Sound for his Fleet ; 2d, That Denmark should
withdraw from the Coalition. The English Admiral
went so far as to call upon His DANISH MAJESTY
to come to a decision within the space of four hours.
The King, however, felt indignant at the proposal,
and striEtly refused to submit to any such demand.
The English Ambassador embarked immediately,
and went to join the Fleet that was preparing to
force the Passage of the Streight. The result of
the attempt is expcded with the most anxious im-
patience.

VIENNA, MARCH appears by letters
from Limberg, dated the 6th inst. that the Ad-
vanced Guard of the Russian Army which is march-
ing towards Moldavia, had passed the Dneister,
and were upon the Moldavian. territory. This
Army is estimated at 40,000 men.
We hear from Wallachia, that the Troops of
PASSWAN OGLOv still continue their ravages in that
quarter, and no doubt is entertained that the rebel
Pacha has got possession of Bucharest. We are im-
patient to know how he will behave when the
Russian Army shall have penetrated into Wallachia
and Moldavia.

It is affirmed in Letters from Consontinnple, that
the Grand Signor has again offered the Pacha a gene-
ral amnesty, without effed. .

The attention of mankind does not seem to have
been sufficiently engaged by the monstrous outrage
upon an independent State, manifested in the proposed
transfer of the Grand Duke of TUSCANY'S territories
to the Duke of PARMA. It is evident, that the EM? E-
ROR of Germany, never could have suggested a mea-
sure so unjust in itself, and so injurious to a near re-
lation. The odious requisition, must have been ori-
ginally advanced by France, a Government that
professes to resped the National will of other States
as well as its own, but who in this instance, has
consigned a People over like a herd of swinea from
a Sovereign whom they loved, to one whom of course
they must abhor, for accepting their Country, and
trampling upon their Rights, in defiance of Justice,
Decency, and Shame.

Mr. SHERIAN is supposed to have been severely
mortified at the high compliments which Mr. PITT
bestowed on the powers (not principles) of Mr.
Fox, in a late debate, in representing the latter as
the only man capable of making any tolerable stand
against the new Administration. Mr. SHERIDAN
can therefore hardly be expelled to shew any great
tenderness towards Mr. PITT in his proposed In..
• quiry into -tae conduel of the late Ministry.—lt
must indeed be owned that Mr. SHERIDAN had some
right to look upon, himself as the Leader of his
Party, since that Party has so long been deserted
by Mr. Fox; but Mr. SHERIDAN has much to atone
for to that Party, for having on several occasions
presumed to speak the language of Englishvien,
particularly in what he lately said respetting our
rigkt of
,search, which he expressed an earnest hope
thatG the overnment of this Country never would
be induced to relinquish. Such
.sentiments, of
course, must be very offensive to his Party, and,
therefOre, it is but natural tbat he should be de-
sirous of appeasing them by some inquiry or other.
Mr. Fox was guilty of his usual inconsistency
in being anxious to have the Public understand that
he was not in company, with TALL IE N at Drury..
Lane Theatre, as if there would have been some-
thing disgravfal in the association. Having pro-
nounced the IFrench Revolution 41- one of the most
:glorious fabrics ever tearcd by human Wisdom and
rirtue," he ought rather, upon the faith of his own
declaration, to have thought it an honour to be seen
with one of the principal workmen.
If the Danes have aaually taken possession of
Hamburgh, they have arrived just in time to assist
the 'venerable Senate in defraying the Contribution
which the French have taken the liberty to levy on
that City, otherwise the demand may be ex-
tended somewhatfarther into the Dutchy of Holstein.

Me Noti's account of the state of the French
Army in Egypt is so flattering, that if it could be
depended on he would make nothing of the British
Troops who are gone to put his strength to• a trial.
We may remember, however, that an equally figs-
tering account was sent from Malta, and Yee; some
how or other, with all its natural and militaryOivers
of defence, it could not hold out against-thellerse-
veranee of British Valoar.

The Way are already exercising their Amour
on the 'purchase of Lord GRENVILLE'S house by
Mr. MILES PETEA ANDREWS, and affect to smell a
gunpolvder plot.
It is well fot certain Females of Fashion that the
limishinent of Ducking, recently infliled on a Lad)
of inferior rank at Kingston for (vociferation, is not
epctended to the fair visitors of the Opera-House, for
in that case the buildit would be ruined by an
int,,tdatic4.

11. e admirable ocirnic Opera of La Bella Pese a.
trice, which was first perforMed at the Panthrott.,
during tire repri.iientatidn of Operas it that pletc:,
way revived at this Theatre last night, and through-
= very t ell ttippottcd:
BoLLAtlibugh by no means recovered, was able
to play with great vivacity; and to sing with sweet.:
ness and circa. Her last song was enccrcd. Mo-
kELL I played the .charatler originally perfnrined
CIPRIANI, with most diverting efrett and the, ;airs'
gave full scope to his excellent voice. RA•tnYtNei
and Vt brifioN I gave strdng Aid to the Piece.
The Music in this Opera was composed by
Goo it ELM' ;,it is altogether grand; forcible and
various. One or two of the airs we believe came
from MAZZINGHI,

The Opera was much applauded; and itsoiiik'i
health imprdires; it will doubtless be a favourite
Piece.

The Ballet of Alonzo and Imegetiei'first preserkted
on DI DE LOT'S Benefit, was repeated last night, It
has been curtailed, but nothing essential was omitted,
—lt Must be Classed with one of the most splendid
Exhibitions which this Theatre has produced,
The Story, as we before stated, is not
observed, but a more close adherence to it would
have comprised too much horror for Dramatic re;
presentation. There was a numerous Audience,
and the Ballet Wa3 received With very. warm ap.
plause.
