The following is an Extraaofp private Letter from
Altdna, dated August 27, received by the Hambtirgh
Mail; some part of it seems to have been written
from Pari4 for very obvious purposes :
A Letter from Paris received thiS morning, writ-
ten by a person whosejudgment and means of Informa-
tion-may be depended upon, states, " for two. days
past not the least doubts have been entertained here
of a Continental War, and we have been in hourly
eXieetation of hearing that hostilities have com-
Li*eed ; indeed, it is asserted, that they have already
',2
place in Italy. If it is true, as is generally re-
lOW, that a Treaty, offensive and defensive, has
been entered into between France and Prussia, re-
lative to Swedish Pomerania, Austria may tind her-
self in a critical situation ;, at all events it must be her
that will bear the onus in a war which, according
to all appearances, may be expelied to be 'direeled
immediately against her in a most vigorous man-
ner."

gone several examinations, on charges of swindling
varies tradesmen out of their property, wag again
brought up, and Mr. White, a Stable-keeper ilk
Moortiel,ls, appeared to state the principal charge:
him, namely; that of 'obtaining two saddle-horses.'
under fraedulent
_pretences. It appeared the Pri-
sonee weolte Mr. White, about September last, and
hawing &Scribed himself-to be the soli of a West
India Plantar just arrived ie England, obSetved, that
he had been recommended to Mr. White, by several
persons of distinaion, . and that he came to give him
au order to proeure two good.
,sAddle-horses, and
pair for a curricle. Ile also wanted two ofthe finest
blOod'that could be got, which he said he intended
to •,,eild to the West ledies as a pre-„ent to his father;

one„ but he would'endeavour to ev:eute it as early. as
the day felloWing the Prisoner called
again, and requested to have the -saddleshorses sent
home ineuediatelY, observing, that the liveries for
his servants were not finished, and he wanted to ride
out, and to give dire6lioes to his. taylor. ..11r. White
made immediate inquiry, in the neighbourhood of
Crotched-friars, as to the Prisener's chargter, and
was infermed that m
the latter passed for a an of for-
tune', recently arrived from the West Indies, and on
going to his cothptingshouse, Mr. White found seves
sal tradesmen waiting with articles which had been
ordered, such ficolail bouts,- &c. be thrrefbre
imagined there was no deception in the Prisoner's
description of himself, and consequently letj.iirn have
the two hoPcs, which, were sent to Crutehed-triars,,
and delitee,i to a servant in livery. Within ten
days after the horses 11,1,1 been delivered, the Pri-
soner rode,. With a servant behind bins in green and
geld, to the house of Mr. Simpson, a taylor, and
said he wanted several suits of clothes made as
soon as po 'bible, of the finest quality ; be bad, how-
ever, previously contracted a bill of large amount,
and-Mt% Simpson requeSted to have his demand paid
before he executed a fresh, order. The Prisoner pre-
tended not to haVe cask enough about him, and said
he would leave one of his horses as -security for the
debt, and call 'on Thursday following : if he did not,
Mr. Simpson was,at liberty to sell the horse; and re-
mit the balance arising from the sale. The herse
was accerdingly left: Mr. Simpson kept it a week,'
and in consceeence of not seeing the. Prisoner, ot;
feted it for sale, when it wavecognised by a friend Of
Mr. White's, who communicated his discovery, and
suspicion occurred that the Prisoner bad obtained the
1)006 \kith intent to swindle. Application was there
fore made ituniediately at Crutches' F.:ars, but he
was ofF, and no vestige Of his opulence remained. A
Warrant was then taken out against him on the
above charges,. which remained in the hands of the
Officer teitil a few
.weeks since, when the Prisoner
was apprehended. Other charges have been pre-
ferred ag,tinst hint; the most of which have been ;Lis'
