PRUSSIA.

Our Readers will fee by the State Papers which
we have this day publithed, that the offer of an Ar-
rniflice to the King of Praia was a mere mockery
for immediately after the figning of it', a Note Worn
TALLITRAMD was delivered in, flatting, in fubftaoce,
that notwithaanding the articles in the Aroniflice,
NAPOLEON would keep poffeffion of the conquered
Prufflan territories till the French, Spann, and
Dutch colonies captured by this country were re-
Stored, and the future independence of the Porte
guaranteed ! This was in fay requiring his Proffran
Majelly, as he bimfelf Rates, to perform imporEbili-
tits.

We yeßerday briefly Rated, that an order of Coun-
cil had been iffued for prohibiting neutral commerce
with France, and all ports under her influence. The

the eontraul, or in the poffeffion of the enemy.
" The neutral trade &realign neutral nations to the enemy's
ports Rill permitted; but the neutral trade from port to port is
prohibited."

A fhort.time fince, the houfe of James Bell, Efq.

difcovered a man on the outfide, endeavouring to
break it open ; Mr. Bell refilled him, but at length
the villain fucteeded in breaking the Mt, and forced
his way in ; two others foon followed hint, and
knocked Mr. Bell down, but promifed they would not
injure him or his family, if he would tell where his

expences, which Mr. Bell found himfelf under the
