VIENNA, SEPTEMBER 20.

Their Majesties the King of Prussia, and the Em.
peror of Russia, are expected here next Sunday, the
25th instant.
Jer'•me Bonaparte has taken a fine house at Triest
for eighteen months, and paid 3000 florins before.
band for three months.

Letters received yesterday from Ghent mention,
that the British Commissioners had gone to Antwerp
for a few days.
We understand that the Dutch are fitting out an
Expedition for the purpose of resuming possession of
Batavia.

Letters were yesterday received from our squa-
dron in the Chesapeake, dated the beginning of last
month. It seemed doubtful whether any considerable
enterprize would be undertake* this year on the coast.
We do not, however, abandon the hope of seeing a
British army taking up its winter quarters in the
heart of the States, and covering those districts
which may be willing to enter into honourable and
advantageous relations with the mother country.
The greater part of the inhabitants on the coasts
which have been visited by our squadrons have
readily acquiesced in maintaining a strict neutrality,
and in supplying his Majesty's ships with provisions
of all kinds, for which they have been regularly paid.
The farmers who evince this spirit of accommodation
are permitted to reap their corn harvest unmolested.
Such as intend to cut their corn generally give notice
to some British Officer, and permission is granted them
accordingly. The loss sustained at Washington turns
out upon minute investigation to be much greater than
was at first imagined. It is ascertained that immedi-
ately prior to the unwected arrival of our troops, the
Navy-yard was in miff complete order, and filled is ith
all kinds of naval stores ; the store-houses were well
built, and intended to have been fireproof. Their
erection, with that of the yard, had cost the America:
Government not less than one million sterling.—
There were immense quantities of all sorts of timber,
oak-plank, masts, &c. &c. Of live oak and cedar,
there was sufficient to build six sail of men of war ;
mid in one single warehouse sheet copper of different
thicknesses, which was rolled in England, and had
been purchased by the American Government pie-
vim's to the present war for full 5C300,000. Of
canvas there was a stock sufficient to supply at
least a seven years' war : hemp. and cordage were
also in great abundance, as were pitch, tar, oils,
paints, and all other requisites fur finishing ships.—
Close at hand was the only cannon foundery in the
United States, with great numbers of cannonoiachors,
&c. ready made. The General, from whose inspec-
tion and report these particulars were minutely ascer-
tained, is a professional judge of the value of this
arsenal and its contents, the loss of which to the Ame-
rican Government lie estimates altogether at Three
Millions Sterling ! . The chief naval .Constructor at
this place, was, we are ashamed to say, a native of
Cornwall, named Fox. He was brought op in the b. sr
school for practical iustruction—the King's Yard.
