HAMBUILGII. Nur: 22.—This day private letters
have been received from St. Peterfburgh of a very
warlike nature. Great armaments are ordered to
be equipped with the utmoll expedition. A fleet of
s 6 fail of the line is to be fitted out in the Baltic. A
le-y of 6o.,;;;" tronp, is to be railed for augmenting
the land forces. Thefe armaments are to be ready
by January. It is even Dated that the French Am-
badador is to leave Peteriburgb. The Emperor of
Rutila highly approves the condufl of Count MAR-
Cori at Paris • and in tellimony of his fatisfa&lion
has fent him the Cordon Bleu. The letters from Ber-
lin likey.ife hate, that preparations are making there
for war. Much credit is given to thefe reports • and
we rejoice in them. Yet it is more than probable
tha: this country mull become the theatre of the
itruggle, and we may fuller before our deliverers
come up. The politicians here think that the land-
ing of the French in England would take place as yef-
terday, calculating on the foggy weather as favour-
able to it. We amid be glad of it, as we are per-
faaded they would never return, and there would be
an end of the adventure.
AMOTHIR LLTTIR LAMS DATS.The exchange of
couriers between Paris, Vienna, Peterfburgh and
Berlin. daily increafes, and the difpatebes are con-
jeaured to be of the highell importance. By private
advice, from Peterfburgh, of the 6th indent, the
French Ambaffaclor, General HIDOUTILLI, with his
fuite. was to quit that capital on the 9th, by order of
the Cabinet of the Thuiller. A new levy for the
Ruffian army has been ordered by Alexander, to the
amount of near Bo,oco men, in the European pro-
yinces.—On the i 9th inflant. at night, a Pruffian
courier was difpatched from Berlin to Paris, in eon-
fequence of very important difpatches received in that
city from St. Peterfburgh. There are alfo movements
among the Pruffian troops in the neighbourhood of
Hanover. Bet, are laid among Come of the belt in-
formed circles at Berlin. that Pruffia will be involved
in war with France before the beginning of next
April.—Some very tumleafant difpatches are arrived
at Berlin refpating a number of veffels under the
Pruffian flag, and freighted with colonial prodals,
being lately confifcated at Amilerdam. •
FRONTIIO.3 or Russia, Nov. 12.0 n the ad roll
an Imperial Ukafe was publifhed here. ordering a
recruitings of from thirty to forty thoufand men,
which will commence on the 27th inflant, and be
completed in two months. It is only for the cuf-
tomary completion of the army,and is no indication
of warlike meafures. The reports of the approach-
ing departure from St. Peterfburgh of the French
Ambaffador, General HEDOU•ILLI, are as little to

be relied on as thofe•of the fitting out of feveral (hip*
of the line and the embarkation of a corps of troops.
We are allured, however, that the Ruffian AmbafTa-
1' dor at Paris, M. MAILCOTF, has been recalled, and
1, has received from the En auto& the blue ribbon. His
fueceffor is not yet known.
Bsairs, Nov. is.—The Ruffian Miniller, Baron
Atoesars, Pets off to-morrow on his journey to Eu-
tin, Hamburgh, Lubeck, and Bremen. His Excel-
lency Baron HARDIN/MUG is returned. Yefterday
evening an exprefs was fent off to Marquis I.IICCHS-
I sias at Paris.

The intelligence received yelterday from the North

were 55 for account, rote to 55f, 56, 561, the

It is long fince we announced that Raffia was
decidedly with this country in the relent conceit,
and that the infults received by the Ambaffador of
that power at Paris, were almoll pafk endurance.—

Ins addition to the articles laid before onr Readers
yellerday, we have above given Tome other letters
received by the Mail, and which wear a fimilar corn-
plesion. We can hardly doubt that Raffia is pre-
paling to take an alive part in the war in the eufu-
ing Spring. Indeed Mould the French be tamely
fuffefed to go on in their career of iniquity, embol-
dened by impunity, there can be no reafon why Pe-
teriburgh and Berlin (hould not be laid under contri-
bution, as well as other places.

To the above extra& we fall at prefent only add,
that by accounts received yeflerday, it appears that
a demand for money has been made on the Duke of
BKUNSWIC lc and on the Elcaor of Hasse Cassis., in
the name of a loan ! The latter returned for anfwer,
that it would be impoffible for him to accede to this
propofition, without laying additional burthens on
his fubjeas, a meafure to which he could by no
means have recourfe. This reply was not received
with much fatisfailion by the Fits,. Cousut., who
rejoined, that it was well known how amply the
cilfers of his Eleeoral Highnef► were fupplied !
