Just before this Taper was put to ress,, we re-

only time to make.the following cxtra.;.ls from them :

broken, was general on the Hamburgh Exchange;
and the rich. Jew broker, HEhscHER, actually-re-
ceived this intelligence by an Estafette, from a Cor-
respondent in Bohemia.

The Berlin Gazettes; however, down to the 9th

We are told by the Opposition Writers, that they
