HAMBURGH MAIL.

The Hamburgh Mail due on Sunday arrived this
morning• The principal articles which it brings re-
Lite to the military preparations in which the different
Poweis are now aetively employed. • Couriers conti
nue to pals between the diplomatic agents at tic
refpedive feats of Government, but little or nothing
fcems to be expelled Irons explanations or conce%
fions,and immenfe armies are every where in motir
According to the letters from Berlin, France has
required of his PrufGan Majetly to cede not only'the
whole of Weflphalia but the County of Mark, and
there can be little doubt that if this requifition was
complied with, it would loon be followed by others
equally degrading and injurious.
Our Hamburgh letters mention, that Baron Jecoas
had arrived at Hamburgh, from Berlin on the alll
ult. on his way to London ; and we have no doubt
that he took his paffage on board of the fame packet
which brought us the Mail received to-day.
Bo rt, as we have already had occafion to
(fate, has yet off from Paris: We have firong Tea-
fon, for believing that at this moment he is aßnally
on his way to put himfelf at the head of the " Army
of the Wefer," which, in accordance to the 'Polio
of the modern Freach nation, is the appellation now
given to the Northern Divifinn of the French armies,
connelled with the ten double battalions lately
marched through Holland upon the river jull named.
The Taft difpofeable force of France, the veteran
habits of her leaders and foldiery, and the good for-
tune which has attended her in every adventure, all
infpire confidence in the fuccefs of her arms, and tend
in a eonfiderable degree towards the difpiriting her
antagonias. Let it, however, be remembered, that
a war of fifteen years' coatintrance, the lois of ester.
, sal commerce and internal wags an odicus eon.

fciiption, and the anal exifiente in the country of
thoufands of thofe whole attachment to their Right-
ful Sovereign, their detellation of the prefent form
of Government, and of the ufurping race of Aliens,
is hardly difguifed—all contribute to convince us of
the impraaicability of a lengthened-warfare on the
part of that country. It will therefore be the objett
of Fiance to ftrike a decided blow—and, if the fun-
ceed, not by the artifices of negociation, ailing on the
known weaknefs of the PrufGan Minifier, and his
predilettion for the French Councils, the will elTay,
by a vigorous and determined effort, to mailer, to
deflroy, and to annex Prof is to her empire. For
this objea, France can certainly bring to bear, upon
the banks of the Wafer and Lower Rhine, about one
hundred thoufand men, tried foldiers, certainly, well
officered and appointed, and furniflied with an ad-
mirable train of artillery ; and her army on the
Saxon frontier may, perhaps, amount to about fifty
thoufand, poffeffing the fame advantages ; and other
troops will certainly be pufhed on in fupport of thefe
armies.

On the other hand, Pruffia has her armies in the
front of her magazines, and within her own frontiers
—whence the confequence is clear, that comfort,
fublinence, and recruits, can molt eafily and cer-
tainly be fupplied to them. If the foldiers of Pruffia
are not equally inured to *dual warfare, their dice-
,
pline, in feparatt corps and waft bodies, has been,
from the days of Fa ensatca Wicciada, molt fcrupe-
loufly attended en, both in their individual curette,
and the annual reviews—the latter forming a mai-
tall exhibition, whenever they occur, unequalled in
modern times. Add to this, that the eagunefs and
good will of the foldiery to try their Itreagth with
France can hardly he refrained, and that their o($•
cers are equally well difpofed, and are at leaft
plinariane. Their numbers are next to be conlidered,
apd here, we own, we fhould feel the utmoft fatiafac-
tion, ware the conceit to depend upon numerical fu•
periority. We are well allured, and warranted in
Rating, that the army covering Magdeburgh, ipclu.
ding thole forces which can an with it within a given
time, amounts at lean to rao,ooo men ; while that
which occupies Saxony, with the Saxon and Helfian
allies, amounts to more than 70,000 men.
We ought alfo to take into the account that the
molt perfeft co-operation exults, in treaty, between
Prof:6a, Sweden, and Ku& ; and that the troops of
both the latter powers are at this moment preffing
onward towards the fcene of anion. Ruffia has at
this time not leG than 350,000 men in motion.
They extend from the frontiers of Courland on
the North, through the whole of Ruffian Poland, all
the way to Oczakow and Cherfon. Here is indeed
a van fource of hope and fatisfaCtion—but we will
now repeat what we have already Paid, that all will'
depend upon the firft fortune of the campaign. If
France fucceed, either in arms or negociation, in the
tuft intiance, there is no hope for the Continent :
On the contrary, fhould the fail in the latter, and be
♦igoroufly repelled in the Left, all may be hoped,
and the deliverance of Europe be no longer looked
upon as a chimera.

In fairnefs, however, to our Readers, we muff Rate.
that fo long as the King of Proffia remains at Berlin,
fo long Mall we be jealous of the preponderancy of
Count HAVGWITZ over his Councils; and by fatal
experience we have but too much reafon to dread its
baneful 'frees. We, •however, hope the belt—the
2IR of left month is named as the day of his de.
patine from his capital ; the next Mail will. fatisfy
us upon that point, and upon the iffue of the relent
warlike poßttie of affairs.
It may, perhaps, be hers relevant to Rate, that
the laft news from Paris, and which has reached us
alfo through twenty different channels, announces,
that it wrs Hrongly rumoured in that capital, that
the French kid ex,,erienced another revere check in
Calabria ; and that after Coffering a defeat, with their
Generals Manama and Ractaraa wounded, they had
retired, and abandoned a confiderable track of coun-
try.to the infurgents.

The following are the ptineipal articles by the
tlAils

It is faid that a Ruffian corps is arrived by fea at

LaR night Mr. Scorn, the Mdfenger, fet off with
difpatehes for Lord LAUDERDALE. Some have
thought that the abfence of Tatt.avamto would put
an end to the negotiations, and that his Lordfhip's
reeal may therefore be foon expefted : but it is to be
remarked, that the agents with whom he negoeiates,
are CHAUPAGNY, Counfeller of State, and Gene-
ral C , both of whom are Rill at Paris. It
woeld be folly, however, to difguife the fentiment
that now prevails in the beR informed circles, that
nothing whatever is expeEted ftorn the prefent nego-
eiation. On hearing of our capture of Buenos Ayres,
the French negotiators Rated, that fuch an acquit.

AMERICAN PAPERS.

We have received Philadelphia Papers to the 2 tit
of Augull. They are filled with virulent abufe agaioli
this country for capturing their veffels. Could we
believe all their Ratements. we would be ready to
pair they had jufl carafe for complaint, but we know
the American charafter too well to give them the
imallett degree of credit. We doubt not that their
'acts are fometimeb captured, but we know that

Refpeaing the French Squadron, a Paper of the

bably bound to Europe, and intentionally avoided
