The violation of the Prullian neutrality was the
fubjed of many letters received by the Mail of yefter-
day, and foon became the topic of general converfa-
tion in town. Will Pruffia bear fuels an infult ? Will
Pruffia fill remain neutral provided France (hall
commit no farther aggreffion ? WiU not the King of
Pruffia now open his eyes to the fate that awaits him
Should France triumph over Attalla ? Such were the
queftions generally put on hearing this intelligence;
but we muff wait till events give the anfwer.
Several Councils were held at Berlin on the receipt
of the news of this outrage, and fume accounts Rate
that the Pralian Cabinet came to the refolution that
a free ;mirage lhould be given to the itufnao Troops,
and that no obftacle Should be given to the march of
the Allies into Hanover. Such at kall ii the report
propagated in the Miniflerial circles. Indeed thole
in the confidence of Minifters continue to fpeak con.
fiJently of the favourable difpofition of Praia, and
this incident may doubtlefs contribute to produce it.
At the fame time any fanguine calculations on this
fulled would be premature.
The Ei.scroa of BAVARIA has publiffied a long and
curious jutlification of his conduit in joining the
French. It is not, however, drawn up with much
abi:ity, its logic being principally of the Tallerandone
kind. The Aufrians, from the beginning, evinced
a diftruft of the intentions of the Ecacroa of I3ava-
au, which circumfances have (hewn to be well
founded. The condud of the ELECTOR of BAVARIA,
and his diftruft of the Aultrians, were founded, per-
haps, on thole reprefentations of the views of Au If ria
on Bavaria, fo pointedly alluded to by the French
Government; and which, if falfe, Aufiria is called
upon immediately to contradict. In the mean time

the F►ench have gained the advantage or the rapport'.
of the Bavarian arms to their eagle► And, for the
moment, throwing a certain degree of fufpicion on
the motives of Aufitia.

It has been officially announced, that the Ruffians
are advancing in five columns for Btannan, °filing§
Haag, Parsdorf, and Dhchau. On the toth the fit*
column was to be at Braunau ; and at Dachau, three
leagues from Munich, on the 16th. . The fifth and
IA column is to be at Braunau on the tElth OCtober,
and at Dachau on the 24. th. This army of Ruffians
confi s entirely of infantry, comprifing 45 battalions
of chofen troops. The expeited arrival of the
Ruffians no doubt accelerates the march of the French
and Bavarians on the right of the French army, for
the purpole of attacking the Aultrian right wing,
or for feizing a potation to retard and embarrafs that
junflion.

Government have alto received accounts of the
arrival in Swedifh Pomerania of the remainder of the
Ruffian force, of which we two days ago (laced voo
to have arrived. The whole Ruffian force in that
quatter amounts now to ao,ooo men. They have
been' joined by to,ooo Swedifh troops, and were
immediately to fet out on their muck

We have received fume fets of French and Dutch
journals. The former are not later than thofe from
which we yellerday gave extrafts ; but the Dutch
come down to the 16th infant. The neutrality of.
Switzerland has been recngnifed by Auttria, and will
be refpeCted by BONAPARTF, sill it be more convenient for
bim to violate it.—(See our Extra&.)

Gazettes have alfo been received from a more dif
taut quarter—Sydney and New auth Wale:, from which
we have extraded a lingular and interefting narrative
of the detention and ill treatment of Captain FLII•
DIRE at the lfle of France. It has ever fence Europe
became civilized, been as much the enflom of nations
at war to exempt from its operations all (hips on
voyages of difcovery, as to refpeft the perfons of
Ambeadors and Envoys. It was left to the reign
of NAPOLEON to reftore more barbarous pradices:
The American Newfpapers are full of animadver-
lions on the decifions that have recently taken place
in our Courts of Admiralty refpetaing captures of
rads colouratly the property of that country. They
complain indeed of all the European Powers in dif-
ferent ways, but principally of this country againft
which they even threaten reprizds
It has been the pradice of the Americans to navi—
gate veffels from the colonies of countries with which
we are at war, to touch at Come American port for
new papers, and then proceed for Europe, a: with
Ainerkaa pcperty. This trick has been seen through,
and for fome time paft all captures under such
cir-
cumftances have been held legal in our courts of law.
The Americans complain that the principle on
which thefe decifions are given, has not been followed
till lately, and that the introdudion of it ought not
to have been Co fudden as to upofe their property to
feizure, without their even knowing the risque to
which they are now exporcd.

A flrong memorial has been prefentcd by the
American Minifter to Lord thwarssurtv on this
bufinefs ; and his anfwer, as tranfmitted a few days
ago, was, that it was a cafe of fuch importance as
to demand time for ferious invefligation. We truft
it will receive ferious invelligation, and alfo a candid
and fair anfwer.

The Rate of the exchange between this country
and Hamburgh comfs over by the mail tkgrouts
higher than by the former mail, which is an advance
of ncar 3 per cent. in the courfe of one pun in our
favour. This is owing to the meafure which was
adopted by our Government about a fortnight ago,
and which we fated to our Readers, of fending outfpe-
cie, and to put an end to the praCtice of drawing bills.
So long as our fpecie will !ail, the fall of the exchange
will be prevented ; but if the war goes on, all the
fpecie which we have been able to coiled will Coon
be exhaulled. It is certain, however, that great and
laudable exertions were mon feafonably made to
amafs fpecie ; and this is one among other proofs
that Boma mars was taken by furprife, iince it is
a certain fait that Englith merchants fucceeded in
buying up very large fums of fpecic, in Holland,
and fafely importing it into England.
The traffic went on for feveral months, and it has
proved not merely .t valuable fore to us at the com-
mencement of our fubfidies, but a fource of great
mortification and inconvenience to BoaAPAILTI. At
the moment of the declaration of Außria, he found
the Banque d'Efcoaipte without treafure ; and conic-
quently without the means of making its payments in
money. He has fince exerted every nerve to obtain
fpecie, by demanding a contribution in Holland, in
Portugal and Spain ; and by trying to obtain loans
in Hamburgh, Heir; and elfewhere. The exchange
between Paris and Hamburgh has fallen 2o per cent.
in confequence of this fearcity of fpecie in France ;
and even at that price no bills to any amount could
be canted.

The gth battalion of the King's German Legion
paired through Dover yefterday, from Deal, on
their route from Portfmouth to Ramfgate, where
they are ordered to embark.
A party of the Coldftream Regiment of Guards
has marched into Deal, to do duty there.
We are much concerned to find that Major-Gt.:
neral Horittms is now lying dangeroufly ill of a
bilious fever at one of fire hotels in Dovcr-areet.
