WURTZBURGH, SEPT. s

It is flatted from Brain, that the military prepara-
tions in Pruilli ought not to excite any alarm, as they
have no other objea than to obtain fume advantages
in the North of Germany.

FROM THE BORDERS OF THE MAIN, SEPT. 6.
Some of the Journals fay, the Elator of Saxony
and the King of Pruffia have come to an agreement
upon certain meafures. The French poops at this
moment upon the Saxon confines are eltimated at
thirty thoufand men.
From Vienna, it is mentioned, that they are ex-
tremely aftive in tranfporting cannon and warlike
ammunition, which has given rife to various conjec-
tOrti. However, we are agreed here, that there is
no other objeel in view, but the mere removal of the
cannon, &c. to Hungary, Galicia, and Bohemia.

FRANKFORT. SEPTEMBER r.
The nonillion of Friuli by the French, and fome
other places on the Adriatic Sea, is aid to have taken
place with the orient of the Court of Vienna ; but
this military occupation, it is thought, will loft but a
(bort time. It is remarked, that no kind of military
preparation is going on in Heffe.
Ss tr. 7 —The difference which has fubfilled be-
tween Mal (hal Augereau and the Magiftrates here,
has been amicably adjufled. In other relpees things
remain exauly upon the fame footing : but as to the
fecret obfiacles which have hindered the opening of
the Confederation of the Rhine in this city, they are
kept a profound fecret. Since a large quantity of
artillery has been tent back from the Grand Army to
Stralburgh, we learn that Prince Berthier only waits
for the news of the ratificaticn of the peace with Roma,
to give orders fur the whole army to return to France.
Letters from Calla mention, that it is not yet de
tided what part the Elettor of HetTe (hall take.
From Drefden it appears, that preparations fur war
were extremely aflive all through Saxony. The
French troops on the Saxon frontier are reckoned at
flatten thoufand men ; but Marfhal Bernadotte is in
their rfar, whole corps is between forty and fifty thou.

Duchy of Berg, having been fummoned by a decree

Cmincilor of State. appointed by his Imperial and
Royal Highnefs his Comlctilioners to the Diet.—
Theta Commillioners were likewife joined by the
other Conntellors of State. The Grand Duke ar-
rived at the Coale of Benrad, efcorted by his guard
of honour, and having in his fuite feveral carriages,
in which were the Civil and Military Officers of his
Houfehold. The Commiffioners to the Diet, the Mem-
bars of that A trembly. and the Counfellors of State,
entered with the Grand Duke into the Hall of the
Counfel of State, where was lituated the throne of his
Imperial and Royal Highnefs. The Grand Duke was
feated on the throne, furrounded by the Officers of his
Flonfehold, and the Guard of Honour, having by
hit fide the two Miniflers and the Counfellurs of State,
and before him the Members of the Diet, placed at
the bottom of the Hal'. The Members of the No-
hie& of the Principality of Hnrflmar and the county
,of I3entheim, who had not taken the oath of fidelity,
approached the throne, and promifed to be faithful to
his Imperial and Royal Highnefs, and to the Confii.

the Diet with the knowing fpeech

We have never been very linguine in our expetta-
tions of Peace from the prelent negotiation ; the
public will therefore believe, that we would not now
flaw a contrary opinion, but in what we reckon the
very bell authority. We under-Rand that many of the
difficulties that flood in the way have now been hap-
pily removed, the French Government having low-
tied much in its tone fince the rejetlion of the Ruffian
Treaty, and (hewn a difpolition to treat on terms
not degrading to thole from whom they leek a
Peace. We believe we arc warranted in Rating, that
a pace, and a good peace too, is now confidently
expelled by his Majeßy's Miniflers. Some days ago
Lord LAUDIA DAL' gave a grand dinner to the
French Cabinet Miniflers. At the Meeting there
was more than dual cordiality, and the general
feeling was, that the 110(614 of the two nations would
loon be terminated.
We believe that it is intended its reflore Buenos
Ayres to the King of STAIN, on the condition of this
country enjoying a free trade with that quarter.

THE EXPEDITIONS.
After the 88th and 36th Regiments, another de.
tachment of artillery will be embarked at Portf•
mouth ; thereafter, the sth Foot, General Emc LAND'S
Regimaat. and next the 17th Light Dragons dif •
mounted. The reft of the Cavalry, particularly the
heavy, will be embarked at Plymouth ; where, it is
fuppofed, that the gallant Colonel Doarss, and the
Blues. will immediately go.
The 79th or Cameron Highlanders, 6r& battalion,
commanded by Colonel CAMIROM, has by this time
embarked, and perhaps failed.
" PLYMOUTH, SEPTEMBER. 16.

" Orders are Paid to be received this day, for the
tranfports that havi the following troops on board,
to go immediately to:the Sound, viz.—The Guards,
pd and 62d Regiments of Foot, fix companies of the
Rifle Corps, and a detachment of Artillery : the fur-
ther report is, that they are bound 16 Sicily ; that
the Royals Gaoaos, of tto guns, is to &oil them,
and that they will fail in a day or two; the 45th and'
87th Regiments, with the remainder of the Ms
Corps, are Paid to be, as was Ara intended, for the re-.
mote expedition, and to wait further orders."

• DEAL, SEPTEMEER r 7.
" Sailed the V frigate 'with flat bottomed
boats, from the Naval Yard at this place, to the Weft-
ward :—alto the EXPLOSION bomb, with a fleet of
tranfports and outward bound teffels, under convoy
for Portfmouth."

French and Dutch papers have arrived, the for-
mer to the r tth, the latter to the isth intl. Private
letters from the Hague to the tsth, are elto in town.
The general complexion of all the intelligence
they contain is warlike. Some of the letters of the
13th Rate that every thing was bottle and prepara-
tion for war, and that the Pruffian Ambatrador had
left the Hague. If the latter fa& were corral, it
would be a tirong indication of approaching hoßili.
ties, but letters of the 14th mention that he was Rill
at the Hague. The prevailing opinion, however, in
Holland is, that a war between Profile and France
is at no great diftance. In confirmation of this we
need only Rate that the price of Colonial produce has
advanced very confiderably beyond the rate at which
it fold a month fume, and which was quite peace price.
Both private letters and the Public Journals concur
in Rating, that the encampments lately broken up
were to be formed afrelh, particularly that of Zeilt,
and that the military preparations indicate an apple-
Notion that the fervice of the troops on the Continent
may again be required. It is not doubted that the
preparations ot Profile, joined to the rejation of the
treaty concluded by M. D'Ouatic, have produced
the new movements among the troops.
j The Paris Papers do not indulge in fplenetie obfer-
r vations upon the attitude of Pruffia, but they contain
a far more decifive proof of the feeling of B,,Na•
. They mention that orders were hourly ex-
„paled, for breaking up the camp of Meudon. In-
deed, we have been favoured with the perufal of let-
ters from Paris of the loth inllant, which mention,
that it was esauagy brans at, and that the troops had
marched for Germany. The letters from Paris, in
the Dut:h Papers, affirm, that the orders for_ the eva.
'citation of Germany. (we much doubt whether any
had beds iffued), were conotermandee.
Should Pruffia Rand firm, the will, with her allies.
Heffe ind Saxony, be able to bring a moll formi.
dable army into the field—at leap zoo,osoo men, and
we do tont believe that Bo cen number much
more, either upon the Dutch frontier, or the borders
of the North of Germany. A very great proportion
of ;fieFrezch army, we may Rate it at one half, is

Rationed in Italy and Dalmatia, or in thole corn.
manding ppfitions from which they have exaftectobe-
dience from Außria for the lail fix months. Not a
man of 'hale can be brought into the conteß with
Pruffia, unlefs Bo AAAAA vs makes up his mind to te.
tire from Naples, abandon Ragufa to the Montene-
grins, and truft rather to the honour than to the fears
of Au&la for her neutrality. It is not, however, an.
likely that he feels himfelf competent with the force
he has to reduce Bras. We fhould not, therefore,
be furprifed if he Ibould make an extraordinary effort
to effcft this object ; and that, porfuing his late plati
in Suabia, he Ihould endeavour, by a fyfemof vl-
gorous and inceffant attack, to annihilate the Pruirrafi
army, and force his way to Berlin before the Ruffian
auxiliaries could come to its Ai:lance.

Both the Dutch and Paris papers give a (hocking I
reprefentation of the Rate of the Neapolitan territory.
The oppolltion to the French banditti derives vigour -4`,
and incrcafe from the unexampled barbarities which 41
arc employed to put it down. While the fangui-
nary Mass sera marches to quell an inforredion in his
front, a snore formidable one breaks out in his rear.
It appears that our (hips and troops in that quar-
ter are not inaaive. Debarkations have been made,
the French fay unfuccefsfully attempted, on vari-
ous points of the eoefl in the vicinity of Naples,
particularly in the province of Salerno. Thefe
have had the effect of flopping the march of Mas-
siaa into Calabria, for at the middle of Auguß his
,head quarters had not been advanced farther than
Cofenza. The Neapolitan Meadow offers, as a con-
folation for this unhappy profpefl, the important in.
tclligence that peace has been eflablifhed between
King Jocer st and the Bey of Tunis ! The commer-
cial eonfequences of this arrangement are Rated
to be, that Afty Neapolitan valets will immediately
4,
proceed to the coat of Tunis to fifh—for coral. Such
is the continency and authenticity of French intel-
ligence.
The report of Spain having given orders for al.
fembling an army of forty thoufand men, is repeated
in there Papers.

NSW YORK, AUGUST 9.

Gllftli.AL Mttan/A.—We have this morning feen
a letter from an Officer on board the Leander, dated
Trinidad, July tB, from which we have been politely
indolrred• with the following exirsofts
Yefterday Information was received front the Main, that Don
Pedro Mimo, the General's particular and moft powerful friend,
hal affembled an army of 15,000 men, and wa. advancing towards
Caracas; that the enemies of liberty, few In numb-r, were re-
treating with equal (feed. General Minto begs that no delay or
procrallinatioa make take place . be rcquelts that we come and
join him immediately : lays be bas every thing prepared for the
alms; and only awaits oar jundion to commence more effeetual
operations.
“ Our departure from this will take place. I perfume. In a very
few days ; I Mould be happy if it were to-morrow. We than be
Joined here by ',cry conflderable reinforcements. Our fares, that
is military, will confift of about 'too men, including officers; a
(mall part of which we procured at Barbadoes, the remainder
here. We are in nsomeotary espeEtadon of the arrival of two
frigates from Barbados I this I believe u all that demise ea at
prefent."
Captain WOOD. of the fchooner American, from
Trinidad, by which the foregoing was received,
Bates, that on the day he failed, he underllood an
order was given for the troops to embark, and that
the naval force which be law at Trinidad, confifled
of the (hip Leander, of 18 gum; the Britifh (loop of
war Lilly, of so guns ; the Government brigs Ex-
prefs and Grenada ; four fchooners, and five or fix
gun boats. He alfo underftood that two frigates
were expeaed to in them.
A letter from Captain SCOTT, who has arrived at
the Quarantine Ground, Bolton, from Tortola, con
eludes thus—.. When we were a little to the South-
, ward of the Gulp!), we experienced a fevere gale of
wind, and when we were feudding at the rate of nine
knots, we (truck a large fpermaecti whale under our
'larboard bow, which knocked in fix of our timbers,
broke (bnrt off two of the cieling planks, and Parted
the waterways from the timbers on deck ; it is a
great miracle that it had not knocked our bows in,
and that our veffel had not immediately gone down."
