No left than four Hamburgh Mails are now clue ;
Oa that we are without any recent accounts front the
Continent. Even the report circulated on Saturday
of difpatches having beeri received by Government,
xerpeding an order fent by the Court of Berlin to re-
cei►e the Bri!ifh troops, and give them every ac-
commodation; turns out to have been unfounded.—
Vo whatever were received by Govern-
meat at the period Rated. The content of the King
of PRUSSIA to the entrance of Britifh troops into
Embden was officially known to his Majefly's
hliui-
fiefs three weeks ago ; but the faft;did not tranfpire
till the end of Taft week, which gave rife to the re-
port of recent difpatches having arrived.
, The above•mentioned report has fince been follow-
ed by another. A neutral arrived from Embden in
the river Tyne on Thurfday night, is fajd to have
brought the important intelligence that a Pruffian
army, confining of so,coo men, commanded by the
King in Perfon, had entered Bavaria, and that feveral
detachments of the French had been intercepted and
takes prifoners.—We can only add, that no fuck ac-
counts have been received by Government. We un-
derftand, however, that in the Miniaerial circles the
difpofitions of the Court of Berlin are thought to be
at this time at leaft as favourable to the caufe of the
allies, as they have been fuppofed to be at any period
flute the commencement of the prefent war.

The amnament under Sir DAVID BAIRD and Sir
NOM POPHAM, failed from Madeira on the 3d of
Oacber. It confined of fix fail of the line, two so's,
four frigates, two (loops, and two cotters, in all 16
fail of King's 'hips ; and with India (hips and tranf-
ports they amounted to 1 7o fail, having 8000 troops
on board. They expelled to be joined by :ow more
at Madeira, but not having arrived, the Commanders
would not wait for them. A circumflance which has
given rife to much crirtofity occurred at Madeira. They
took on board a number of mules, and at the fame time
took in forage for only about +o days confumption. It
has been thought unlikely that they would have taken
mules on board if their deßination had been the Cape,
or that they would have taken provifions for fo fhort
a time. Conjeiture is, therefore, afloat, and it is
thought poffible, that South America is the objea—
but againit this idea is the employment of fo many
Indiamen, which are full of troops.

Saturday a confiderable number of letters were re-
ceived from New York, via Liverpool. The ac-
counts from Bolton by this conveyance are a week
later than thofe previoully obtained. On the 6th
November the Gloucefier arrived there from the 11Ie
of France, which the left the 3111 of July, and the
Ifle of Bourbon the loth of Augufi. All veffels
which had touched at a Britifh port were prohibited
entering thofe Wands, voids under circumilanees of
particular diftrefs. The Bonaparte privateer is Rated
to have captured, and feat for the Ifle of Bourbon,
three valuable Englith veffels : one of them from
China bound to London, laden with tea, &c. had ar-
rived; but her name is not mentioned.
In our Paper this day will be found an interefling
article from what is confidered the Official journal of
the American Government.

A number of tranfports, which failed a few days
