gence in the Argus Wtire-' trtr, that it would not have

all over Holland long before the 20th ? -So far from:
this, however, the greatest precautions have, within

this be reconciled with the supposition of there even,

Which there cannot be a doubt every` facility would

.. .
We strongly suspea, however, that the trans-
:mission of this Supplementary. Argus is the result of
:an artifice originating on this side of the water. It
'must strike our Readers, that if a forgery was in-
tended, it was much more easy to. forge an English
Paper than a French one, whilst at the same time
the former would be much less liable to deteaion. Did
.z.the, Boat come out of Boulogne at all ?—lf it had,
would there not have been some evidence on board
to prove that 'Circumstance ? Might not , the
Boat have drifted into our Fleet with an Argus. on
. „
board, from some: other quarter than from 'Bou-
logne ? It was certainly no difficult matter to forge
a Supplernentary Number of The Argus, and, send
it adrift ini.Boat, with, a view' of its 'being picked
up somewhere near Boulogneiand thus causing some
efFeet,-on the 'Stock-Exchange. These .suspicions
naturally arise'frorn the circumstances of the case,
for why was The Argus alone tent, unaccompanied
by any French Journals, or' bow coMes it to be sent
unauthenticated-,
.not o.lPommandant at
Boulogne, but not even having any evidence of having
been sent by-any individual at Boulogne ?
Want of room anal want of time prechide us from
discussing the subject. more at length, but the mOre
we consider it the moreare we convinced that this
Supplementary Argus, thus found in a Boat, unau-
thenticated and adonymously communicated,' is
neither more nor lest' than a forgery, and we strongly
suspect originating in this Country:

Since writing the above, we have he'en favoured

with the following Letter from Berlin, which ap-

pears to us so important, that wo. lOse no time iii

aying it before our Readers. We are not permitted

to Mention, 'the names of the parties, but it comes
from a person of great respe&ability at Berlin, and
is addressed to
,a, Gleneral Officer in His Majes-

:y's Service. it is dated at Berlin the '1 lth inst•

at which time the conclusten at an Armistice on the

4th, if such an event had taken place, must have

leached that City. Mr. KAYE, the 'Messenger, who
left Olrnutz on the night of the 3d, arrived at Berlin

on the morning of the Bth. Consequently, if a Mes-
senger, had been dispatched on the 4th, he would

have reached Berlin on the oth, and there can be

no doubt but that if an Armistice-bad taken Place on

the •nth, that a Courier would have been itume-

diately dispatched to Berlin with the important in-

tellignce.
Te Letter is as follows :
