Since the arrival of the Gottcnburgh Mails, some
additional facts have transpired respecting the dispo-
sitions of the Prussians, which incontestibly prove the
accuracy of opinions which we have long since ha-
;arded respecting the result of BONAPARTE'S disas-
trous campaign in Russia. '[he letters from Berlin
now speak out most decidedly on tha subject of the
threldom under which the States of Prussia have been
kept by the French—and it now appears, if we may
believe the following letter, that the departure of the
KING of Patlssis for_ Silesia, was not occasioned by
the approach of the Russians, but the consequence
of an abortive attempt on the part of the French to
sieze his person :

" BERLIN, FEB. 2, 1813.

* In the night between the 17th and lath of last month, at
one o'clock, a troop of French gene d'armes attempted to seise
the person of the King, by possessing themselves of the Palace
of Charlotteuburgh, where his Majesty bad been on that day.—
The attempt, however, niistarried, the. King having been iu-
formed of the plot through Prince Ek.*DIN 4ND, early enough to
save himself by flight, with two of his Adjutants, and ten of his
own guts d'armes, to Potsdant. There, when he arrived, he
ordered the drums t• beat, as a pursuit was applehtmleal. His
Majesty, in consequence of this event, set Gat on the toad to Si-
lesia, with 6000 troops of his se:ads, after having declared the
Crown Prince of age, and given him bis benediction. The rage
of the people is arrived at its highest pitch, and souse bloody
scenes are expected.. The Russians advance in great force; they
are distant from this place only from 25 to SO leagues."

It was reported at Svckholm, when the Mails
came away, that a Treaty was negociating between
Sweden and Denmark, by which the latter rower
was to place 40,000 men under BLIINADOTTE'S COL-
mand.

The fall of Dantzic is not yet officially confirmed
—its fate cannot, however, for a moment bedoubted,
for a private letter direct from thence states, that the
Garrison consisted of 10,000 effective men only, and
even these had suffered by the « frightful climate's
of Russia. General RAPP, the Governor, is said to
have lost his toes by the frost. This fellow, in con-
cert with a Commissariat of the name of For/a/4

deluged Switzerland with blood a few years bacio.
The enemy left their sick in the different towns in
so dreadful a state, that they have every where died
in immense numbers. We understand that official
accounts have been received of upwards of 16,000
French corpses having been collected, and piled in
the neighbourhood of Wilna, in order to be burned
as soon as wood can be procured for that purpose.
The Emperor of Russia has returned to St. Peters-
burgh, where, on the 13th ult. he went, with his Im-
perial Consort, to the Cathedral, and offered up thanks
for the delivery of the Russian territory from the
enemy.

When oar letters left Lisbon, it was generally
believed hi the army that a Russian force would be
landed in two points of the Peninsula, to act in con-
cert with the English, Portuguese, and Spanish ar-
mies, the whole to be under the command of the'
Marquis of WZLLINGTON, as Generalissimo ; and
strong hopes were entertained, that in such an event
taking place, not a Frenchman would escape.—
Much, however, remains to be done ; for we have
reason to believe, that the French force in Spain still
exceeds 100,000 fighting men—old and •seasoned
troops. •

•Yesterday the PRINCE REGENT held a Levee at
Carleton-house, which, commencing an how previous
to the usual time, was but thinly attended. A num.'
her of distjnguished persons arrived after the Levee
was closed, from the cause above stated, among whom
were Lord FINGAL and the Loan bLivott of Dublin;
the latter vas attired in a Court dress, over which be
wore a scarlet gown and a collar of S. S. similar to
that worn by the LORD blavoa of London. In con-
sequence of his late arrival, the Petition was delivered
to Lord SIDMOUTY.

The Petition presented to the Hoase of Commons
on Wednesday night by Mr. W. SMITH, from the
Dissenting Clergy of London and its neighbourhood,
was in fayour of the Catholic Claims, not agaixd
them, as stated by mistake in our Parliamentary Re-
port of yesterday.

The Funds fell yesterday per cent. owing to an
expectation of 18 millions of Exchequer Bills being
seat into the market to be funded.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRIL—Last night a law
Farce wile represented at this Theatre, entitled, 0
Home. it is a sprightly trifle, the main feature ad
which is the ridicule of the ilwareor of Faskito, as lie
calls himself, whose burlesque upon actingWeneently
excited so much derision. MATTIIEW& was chasm
as his representative, and a better could not km
been found ; the tone, the manner, the gait, the atti:
tude, were depicted to tile life, the mimicry was cons-
plete, and convulsed the House with laughter. It was
not, however, suffered to pass without interruption ;
tor it appears that even Mr. Coates has a :Mall
party of admirers, who, grieved to see their favourite
ridiculed, endeavoured after the first display, consist-
ing of a poetic address, to prevent MATTHEWS frogs
being heard. Tice greater part of the audience, how-
ever, relished the joke, and answered the" clamour
'of 44 Of if I" by a general cry of "Go
hiaxruews went through a part of Lotlserso,
[ and died in the true Coatean style; nor could he
have been excelled by the original amateur himself.
—The re*t of the farce is light and pleasant, and was
admirably supported by Miss S. Boorh, Mrs. DA*
VENPORT, LISTON, EMERY, BLANCHAED, and FARLET.
At tke close of the first act, Miss Boorn iutrodup
ed a shawl dance, commencing with the slow tune
of el Saw ye my father," and ending with the spright.
ly air of “ Duncan Davison," which was highly ap-
plauded by the audience. The Farce was given out
fora second representation, with little opposition.
