Mr. BASILIC°, the Melfenvr,* art ived in town 'ail
night, with difpachas from Lord LAUDIRDALS. A
Cabinet Council WAS fummoned this morning, to take
there difpatches into confederation. It was fitting
when this Paper was put to prefs.

A gentleman (Mr. CARR), who arrived yefterday
from Holland, Rates, that at the time of his embark.
Rtion. an embargo was immediately expedled in all
the ports of Holland {Abet the Dutch army Was con.

the King ; and that great apprehentions were enter.

by the Englifh. Whitt, this gentleman was at Frank-
fort upon the Main, large bodies of French troops
poured into the town, in their route to meet the
Pruflians, and, as they marched though the fireets,
displayed their accullomed vivacity and confidence.
At Weife', which is the Ilrongeft fortification in the
new territories of Prince Mutter, the foldien were
tardy employed cutting down alt the trees in the
neighbourhood, to reduce them to a lev.:l with the
glacis ; an order was every hour expelled for demo-
hitting the houfes that furround the f•tr trefs, at toe
molt vigorous preparations were making In:- fullain-
ing a liege. In many parts of Germany it was con.
fidently reported that Jutotas BnuA►ARTs would. in
a few months, afcend the throne of Pr Ala. Mr. tAItR
WAS unacquainted with the battle of Calabria, until
his return to England. Some letters which were fent
to him, containing intelligence of that event, fo en•i-
nently glorious to the Britith arms, never reached
him. Every precaution has, no dt•ubr, been urea by
and his agents, t r prevent the kt.owledge
of it, but in the fhape of a retrograde vitlory, from
teaching his army.
The following is an extra& of a private letter to a
merchant in London, dated Cochlea, September IS

" We are very uneafy In this quarter at the approach of war

cert with Firnia, Saxony, Sweden, and Denmark, whole 'orris

hundred thoufand Ruffians through this country, and for theft
three weeks part we have had Pruffian regiments marching through
the town every day, who are In fetch fpirits, and pant with fetch
ardour to attack Bonaparte, that it Is a pl-alure to hear the men
