It was rumoured yefterday with much induftry,
that accounts had been received of a terrible battle
having been fought between the French and Auftrians,
but the reports did not agree which party had the
viCtory. In the French Journals received on Monday
(And we then noticed the circumftance) it was Rated,
that the Anfirians had made themfelves mailers of
Schaff haufen, after a ftnart flirmajb. It is poffible other
ficirmithes may have taken place before this time, but
no accounts whatever of the kind reported hive been
received in town.
It was yefterday afferted, on the authority of let-
ters horn Embden of the 29th ult. that his Praian
Majelly had ordered all the fpecie in the Bank in that
city to be fent to Berlin. Confiderable apprehenfions
were, of courfe, entertained, that the Court of Berlin
either bad determined to depart from its neutrality, or
conceived that circumflances may arife to compel it
to relingnifla its beneficial Om. We believe, how-
ever, that the prefent ennviCtion of Government is,
that Pruthia will maintain a aria and impartial nen.
y : a line of conduit which we believe alma
imp. Ode to be followed for any length of time, in
ti:e pcft:ut critical Rate of the Continent.

On the 27th ult. an eflafette arrived at Embdeu
from the Governor of Munger, with orders to the
Senate, to delves the contingent of horfes for the
train of artillery to be found by that city within ten
days, and to prepare quarters for one thonfand Pruf•
San troops.
By a veiTel arrived from Erebtien, li►e learn that
the Kra° of Paussta bad tent foam troops to occupy
the extenfive barracks at that• place, which, have
lately been let• to the merchants as warehonfes for
the goods received from this country.

In the City it was yelterday reported, and believed,
that the Bank of France had Ropped payment. This
Ratenient we are not inclined to difbelieve, as we
know that not long fince fome refractory creditors of
this frail ellablifisment were filenced by the point of
the bajonet. lt is certain that fome French honfes in
the City fold out fums fo large, as to have the effeet
of lowering the Funds abont ore porter per fist.

We have received New York Papers to the a3d of l
Augult, by a wail arrived in the Clyde. Oq the

fever in New York or its neighbourhood. By the vi-
gilance of the Board of Health, all who had the
(mailed fymptonts pf being isfeEted with that terrible
' malady were removed either to the city hofpital, or
fent into the country ; and we hope the next accounts
will Announce that the difeafe has teasel' difappeared•
