Private letters received by the mails yefterday, de•
tail fome interefting particulars that were but flight•
ly mentioned in the printed journals.
The Note tranfmitted by BONAPARTE to the Em-
peror of Gesmany, concerning the military prepar-
ations in Auftlia, is reported to have been conceived
in terms fo amicable and refpedful as to excite con-
fiderable furprize. There is, however, nothing fur-
prizing in this line of conduct. The object of the
pretended attempt at a pacific negociation, is merely
to put the adverfary in the wrong ; for neither party
can have the haft hope of being able to accommo-
date their differences.
The million of the Grand Martha' of the Intperial
Palace, M. Duaoc, (he is not a Martha' of France)
is the fubjed of much curiofity in the North of Eu-
rope.. He was difpatched from Boulogne, and made
a rapid journey to Berlin. Letters from perfons of
the firfi refpeetability at Hamburgh, Rate, that after
repeated conferences, the anfwer of his Prullian Ma-
jelly and of the Cabinet, to M. Dime was, that his
Pruffian Majefty is refulved to obferve the &idea
neutrality, and will take meafures to make that neu-
trality be refpeded. It is not improbable that Du-
aoc, in the fira inftance, would prefs the Court
of Berlin to take an alive part in favour of France ;
but that being unlikely to be obtained, the next
thing would be to afcertain the difpofitions of Pruf-
fia, and to difcover what the French Government
could depend upon as to the Rate of the North.—
If the Court of Berlin undertakes to form and de-
fend a Line of Neutrality, as in the laft war,
BONAPARTE will be relieved horn any apprehenfion
of an attack in that quarter, and may dined his whole
force where it is required. According to the difpo.,
tiuns hitherto made by the Ruffians, no attack upon
the French in the North is in contemplation ; and if
rruMa adheres to the principles laid down in the

Note to the Swedini Minifter, the will prevent any
heft He operations wit* the line of neutrality.
The Eledors of BM:MI, WIRTIMIBILG, and BA-
vatiA, have folicited the good offices of the Court of
Berlin, to be included in the propofed treaty of new
A Pruffian cordon of troops is to proteit
the Duchies of Anfpach and Bareuth. It is certain.
however, that the Auftrians will occupy Bavaria, if
the French attempt the pelage of the Rhine.
There is reafon to fuppofe that BowAPARTS had at
one time contented to evacuate Hanover; why he
has fince changed his intention, as it would appear
he has, is a fecret at prefent. In confennence of
difpatches received from Boulogne, by Gen. BE awe-
DOTTR, on the aBth ult. the whole of the French
troops in the EleSorate were in motion. Harburgh,
Luneburgh, Stade, Verdun, Celle, acc. were imme-
ciately evacuated. In the whole Duchy of Lanen-
burgh, only a piquet of thirty men remained behind._
—The whole of the troops marched to the South-
ward, and concentrated themfelves near the
Hanover. A report was prevalent at Hamin4h;
that this movement was in confequence of (Ole
reprefentations from the Court of Berlin, aschhat.
the Eleaorate of Hanover was to bt taken pof
feffion of by' detachments from the Pruffian-arnyi,
and that of the Duke of Brunfwick.-r-It h certain
that the Pro (Gan Minifter HARDINSIRO had a 1. og
conference with that Prince turd Count" Spoor,
INSURON lately, the obje& of which was (up-
pofed to be fome arrangement for the occupation of
Hanover. The Court of Berlin is nnderßood to have
reprefented 11 that it would be impoifible for her to
maintain her neutrality except Hanover were eva-
cuated, as the Emperor of Ruffia had txprefied his
determination to occupy Swedith Pomerania, in cafe
the French did not retire from that Eleaorate.i If,
therefore, his Pruffian Majeay (hould be involved in
war through the refufal of the Trench to eva-
cuate Hanover, he would feel hinsfelf obliged,
as proteltor of the neutrality of the North of Ger.
many, and for the prefervation of his Polill do.
minions, to dockre gain, Frame." This informs•
lion we derive from the molt refpeBable authority.
It is betides entitled to additional credit from this 4r-
cumilance, that Pruffia could have no pretext for
prohibiting the occupation of Swedint Pomerania
by Rullia, while the connived at the poffeffion of
Hanover by BONAPARTIL So far, however, from
the French evacuating Hanover, part of the army of
Holland has been ordered into that unfortunate
Eleaorate. But it is probable that somArArrs will
at laft content to retire from it, for many reafons.
The large army which he has quartered there for
thefe two years has exhaulted the country ; as
military polition it is not important; and by retain:*
ing poffeffien of it he may indifpofe Profile. Hi
has fcarcely a motive but the gratification of a bare
and perfonal malignity for declining to retire from it.
On the 22d ult. there, was a grand conference of
State at Vienna, at which the Emperor prefided In
pylon. It tatted from four o'clock in the afternoon
till very late at night. The following is a Ratement
of the force of the Aultrian armies, with their refpec-
tive fituations :—lu Stiria, 3o battalions of infantry
and 20 tquadrons of cavalry ; in Carinthia, 3o bat-
talions of infantry, and so fquadrons of cavalry ; in
Italy, so battalions of infantry, and two regiments of
cavalry at Venice, 25 battalions of infantry ;in
Carniola, zo battalions of infantry ; in the Tyrol, 6o
battalions of infantry. a corps of Tyrolean them-
(hooters, and one regiment of cavalry ; near Wells,
6o battalions of infantry, and (even regiments of ca-
valry ; near Minterndorff, t 6 'battalions of infantry.
and five regiments of cavalry.
The Ruffian army, at the date of the loft official
returns, amounted to 308,230 men, exclulive of the
invalids. The whole of the French army at prefent
amounts to 593,588 men, exciufive of the Gear d'arntes,
the National Guards, and the newly organifcd armies
of the kingdom of Italy.

led circurnftance of three Emperors at the head of

A very great promotion bas jolt taken place in the
Außrian army. It is Rated, that by the ill of Sep-1

The following letter from Hanover, by the Mails
of yetlerday, contains important intelligence t
ITLANOVIR, Seer. 6.—At this moment all is uncer-
tainty and conjeaure about the French movements in
this Eleaorate. That they have concentrated their
forces upon the Heffian frontiers is certain, and it is
even confidently reported, that they have taken pof-
leffion of Renteln, a confiderable town upon the
Banks of the Wefer, belonging to the Landgrave.
