EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER. _

" Bauman, t t.--Never has the Continent
been in filch a cosjeetural Hate as at this moment.—
Raffia, the Electors of Heffe CAM, and Saxony, are
malting every military preparation, as if they were
expeding immediate hoHilities, while Bonaparte is
withdrawing. his troops from their frontiers, and pre-
tending to give orders for their paliage acrofs the
Rhine. Indeed, fume are of opinion, that he does
not feel much difpofed to attack Prulfia at prefect.
for fear of being kept in check with his army too far
advanced to refill the combined efforts of Ruffia and
PrulLa. and therefore prefers taking a pofition which
may enable him to combat with both powers, or to
retreat with fafety in cafe of a difafter. Others fop.
pofe (and I think with more plaufibility) that his re•
trograde movement is only a political blind, to con-
ceal his real object, and to give fuck a colour of !ince-
rity to his negociation► as may induce the Emperor
of Ruffia to pollpone the march of his troops, and
lull Frederick William the Second into a gentle (lum-
ber, while he, under pretence of going to Frankfort
to regulate his new confederation, can very conveni-
ently put himfelf at the head of his mimics, and by
one defpetate afoot, clip the wings of the Pruffian
Eagle Co clofcly, (if found in a torpid nate) as to
perm its Mkt.' for hone months, and then the
power of Ruffia cannot prevent his gigantic views fn
Gantany. However, I bad it to be the generally
received opinion, that the French and their allies on
this fide of the Rhine cannot eafity carer their pro-
jeft into exeCution, not even make any fawns inspref
lion on the Pruflian army. before they are reinforced
from Fratice,it Bonaparte do not famed to dupe the
Cabinet of Berlin by fume political dratagem, Which
is not a likely ciretrenflance at the pulps conjune•
cure. The coldiety are in high fplits, and. coati-
dering the abilities of their Camels. excellent did
cipline and uncommon patriorifm, an obitimmedifirjay
of brevet y may kre expeiled.
P. S. Since writing the above, I am this monsept
informed that there are fevers! letters in town. re-
ceived from refpeCtable Imo les in-Holland,mentien
ing that France bad aanally declared war again&
PiuffiA. Letters 'from Berlin, dated the fitb; ego
mention the intended departure of his Fruits. SU-
oily from that capital the day following." '
